Froyo, apps on SD

Now that a few people have put froyo on there desire, is there an option to install apps on the sd or do you still apps2sd?
thanks

Froyo doesn't like ext partitions so do not install Apps2SD. You will need to format your SD card as FAT32. Just follow the guide for whichever custom Froyo ROM you want to flash and the setup should be explained in more detail.
There will be option to install Apps2SD in Menu > Settings > Applications. Select the app and there should be an available option below to install the app to the sd card.

OR use titanium backup... start the app, select backup/restore, long press on the app you want to move and then select move to SD card... and done!!! Thats how I have been doing it with no problems.
And the app doesn't have to be enabled by the Dev to move to SD card this way!!

Thank you both for the replies.
So which out of the 2 ways would be best to go to froyo from 2.1 using a2sd without looseing any apps?
I presume I can format the SD card after I have moved them to the SD?
Final question, how would I install a new app to the SD if I get it from the market?

Well if you do a backup of your programs via titanium back, the restore them when on froyo, and then transfer to SD using titanium it will all work fine... that's how I did it with no issues... ended up donating to the app ad its awesome!!!

Currently there aren't any with no problems at all... I'm using RichardTrip's Defrost rom and its brilliant... some people have issues with the Bluetooth and also the light sensor doesn't work, but I don't use either and everything else works fine for me

Nope, there is not a Froyo ROM that is 100% fully functional (yet).

Thanks. This method transfers the existing apps to the SD, but how will be able to install new apps to the SD?
Will I have to keep using this method?
Lastly have developers started updating there apps to make them froyo compatible?

Apps won't install with mounted sd card :(

For some reason, apps like angry birds, 2 player reactor, and the modified flash for hulu don't install unless I unmount my sd card first. Otherwise I get the application not installed message. Any advice?

Just install it with the SD unmounted. Then from there under the applications tab you can move to SD if it is available. If it isn't then you will have to go with apps to sd.

The problem is some apk files are on my sd card, like the flash one which I now can't install

Bumpity bump bump. Would very much like to install modified flash apk for hulu pl0x ^_^

Hi,
i have the same issue with Stock Rom 2.2.1 (1.72.405.3) installing some apps: Some of them (i think mostly protected apps) can't be installed while SD-Card is mounted. Even when i am Installing from Google Market it doesn't work. When i unmount the card and try again it works.
Having a rooted (S-Off) Desire HD with 2.2.1 (1.72.405.3)
Can't find any workaround!
hope you can help me!

Well, my only fix was to flash another rom. Most custom roms I've ran don't have the problem

[Q] can't install apps !

I flashed the lastest cm7 rom
And use the dt app2sd
At the beginning, i was able to restore all apps by titanium
However, when i try to download and install apps from market,
My phone rebooted itself, but it was not a complete reboot,
It rebooted from the opening of my theme i have installed.
Then i tried to install apps from sd card through file manager,
But failed again,when i pressed "install" , it rebooted in the way as said above.
Then i rebooted my phone by myself, it rebooted in a normal way.
but i found that all the apps in sd card were gone.
What's happening?
My sd card is "JT 8 gb' (i bought it in hongkong) ,
It didn't tell me which class is it,
When i use card reader to put things into the card,
it is about 3~4mb/s
Is the above apps installation problem related to my sd card?

I think that you will obliged to do a full wipe and then install Cm7 a second time. If you have still this problem, change your memory card if you have another

i have already do a full wipe before flashing the rom.
And i have been flashing the rom many time and the problem still exist.
Is thiis really the sd card problem or apps problem

You can download a second time the google apps from Cyanogen website. There is maybe a problem with your market.. (I know that Market don't work in the past with some custom roms but I don't remember witch one.. )

Bare bones rooted.

Hello everyone. My friend rooted my EVO for me about two months ago and I went CRAZY downloading roms and themes and all sorts if stuff. The problem now is my phone is FULL and so is the SD card. So my question is what can I delete off the phone using astro and still have a functioning phone. Also what can I delete off the SD card? All I want left on my phone is to keep it rooted, keep my current rom, and be able to re sync on Google contacts. I want all the apps and other roms gone.. is my best bet to unroot, hard reset and then root again? Thanks for your help.

All you have to do is go to recovery then wipe or factory reset if you will then wipe your sd card also

Why don't you just delete the zips for roms that you aren't using? You can either use file explorer (or something like it) or put the SD card in a card reader to delete the roms. Should be able to delete the apk's that you don't want too.
You can also connect as a usb memory device to your computer and delete that way.
I would make a copy of your SD card at its present state just in case.

Cranbiz, that's the method I was using but Im not sure which files are pertinent and which ones aren't so i dont want to delete the wrong ones.

I have had similar experience and this is what I've dive:
Backup your SDcard on your PC then format your SDcard, wipe everything, transfer over your desired ROM and flash.
Now you have a clean setup and can pull anything of your backup if you need to.

Switching ROMs: move apps back to phone?

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.

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.)
