I'm thinking of trying out some new ROM's. I'm currently running UKB V, but want to see what else is out there. I've moved almost all of my apps to my SD card using TiBu. Assuming I don't format my SD card when I flash the new ROM's, will all the apps on the SD "show up" ie still be installed? What about going from a ICS ROM (UKB V) to a GB ROM (Sky Raider Zeus)? Any idea whether there will be app compatibility issues?
Thanks gang! :highfive:

If you wipe before flashing, the apps won't be there. You'll still need to restore them with Titanium. As far as compatibility between roms, that would just depend on the app, but I haven't had any issues.

Ok, so I finally upgraded to Android 2.2 and moved all my applications (except a few that don't work like that) over to my SD Card thanks to the hack.
Yet I still only have 43MB/147MB...Whats the deal?
Go into Manage Applications and delete data and cache of your apps. The Dolphin browser had something like 50mb of user data for me. Stopped using it now

if you buy a licence for dolphin it will move the cache to the sd card

its because you using legacy apps2sd as apposed to apps2sd+, legacy apps2sd only stores the .apk on the sd card, where as apps2sd+ moves alot more of the program data and cache' to the sd card

that rom dosent have apps2sd+ i suggest if you want more disk space, you try a rom with apps2sd+, like leedroid or nextsence but remember it wont work if you dont create an ext partition on your sd card

Well, eventually we won't need Mod Install or apps2sd+ to do it right, developers will make there apps do it auto? no...
Seems like I have enough space right now, much more then I did before hand, with 2.1. So should be fine. I just found it weird.
*and no way to add apps2sd+ to this ROM?

How does one go about installing Apps2SD+ manually, without resorting to flashing a custom rom (as there are some members here who, like myself, prefer stock roms)?

if your rooted you just need an apps2sd update.zip and flash it from recovery, becareful tho most of the ones ive seen on google are for eclair and wont work with froyo, maybe post a thread in the android development section asking someone to make you one, it wont take a skilled person long

I am rooted (via UnRevoked), and have even got a nice class 6 card already partitioned and waiting.
Surely if it wouldn't take a skilled person long to do it someone would have done it by now? I've seen a few requests in these forums since Froyo was released asking how to install apps2sd, and yet they all either get ignored or pointed towards a custom rom. It's almost as if the people who know how to do it want to keep the secret to themselves!
I want to switch back to CM7 from Oxygen. Is it a good idea to move all my apps back to the phone before switching, so they're not all floating around on the SD card after I switch? I'm not going to wipe the SD card.

Installed apps? If you change ROM to a totally different one, full wipe is required, which means all your apps will disappear. If you dont want to install all your apk-s copy them into the .zip. I keep all the apps in a folder on the SD-card to install after ROM- change.
Use Titaium Backup you can find it in the market(free app) but with the Pro version restoring your apps is MUCH easier
I'm not talking about restoring apps after installing a new rom (although I appreciate the help on that too). I just don't want the apps that I've transferred to the SD card to be left there.

It won't be a bad idea what you wanna do.
Swiftkeyed from ICS with Transparent XDA App
Or maybe I'll just uninstall them all...

I have read somewhere that you can delete all folders from the SD except the ones you have copied (photos, music, etc.)

Not really a big upgrade... just a new modem and completely removed carrier iq... new call screen... just flash one of the el30 custom roms and try it out... I'm running sleeper... cm9 is AMAZING though and if you haven't tried it I suggest you do... viper rom is also planning on releasing an aosp ics rom too! Epic is getting some love from the devs these days! Just make a backup of your current setup and flash away... if you don't like it, your current setup is just a restore away!

thanks i did it. but i miss my legendary. which one are you running? would i be able to ask qbking 77 what he is running. or is that a rule that we cant ask?
another question
it may be a dumb one. but when i restore my app. and i move them back to my sd card is the app being double? or is it just replacing the app from before?

AFAIK, the app is not "doubled" but moved from the internal memory to the SD card, or at least as much is possible to be moved
If unsure, check your internal space before moving the app, and then after, and you should see additional space on the internal after the moving of the APP to the SD card
To answer both your questions qbking77 is currently running CM9 but changes often to make videos so may be on 5 different ROMs in one day.
If your apps are in the system\app folder it replaces them. If your app is somehow in the \data folder and you flash something that adds it to the system folder you will have 2 copies.

thanks again. with the rom you running do all your apps work? i have the rom on my sd card. have not flash it not sure if all the apps will still work. i have cm9 on my touchpad. just waiting on the fixes to hit.
and on question i know it is a noob question. but how can i change my signature. lol

Im not sure what you mean by install Sense on JB. Could you elaborate? And does any JB rom recognize your SD Card? If so you could use a GB rom to save all contacts to the SD and then restore once on a JB rom. Or just use the GB rom to sync your sim contacts to google then restore. As far as your Albums and Music im not sure, you might have to disregard what I said earlier about your SD card because it sounds like its defective, either that or its the slot where it goes

No, most sense apps will not work at all without the full sense framework being present.
