I've tried to search all of XDA, but I could find anyone wanting to fully disable froyo's apps2sd.
I prefer to use DT a2sd on my ext3 partition. With using Ti backup and installing from the market, some apps get installed on the SD in the .android.secure folder. Its a pain for me to one-by-one move them off the SD and back onto the phone, so DT a2sd moves them to the ext3.
So, does anyone know how to disable froyo's apps2sd? I'm using a sense ROM if that matters.
Thanks!
Bump. Back to the top.
Anybody? I know there's some smart people in XDA that would know how to do this.

Looking for an answer to this as well.
There are apps to sd apps that let you move all apps on sd to internal memory, but I've never used one.
I know in cyanogenmod there's an option in settings to choose install location for apps (internal/external/automatic) but I'm not sure about your rom. If you're using stock I know it isn't there but otherwise you could check your settings.
Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer.

That's the file I'm looking for. I've read in a Droid forum somewhere there's a . sh file that can be edited to have the same effect as cyanogen's option.
I'm on a sense based ROM, and I can't find that file.

I see it. I think someone had discussed a "<some name>.sh" file to edit that sounds like what the cyanogen setting does.
I opened the sh file you pointed to and it just came up with gibberish.
Bumpy.
Come'on, someone had to of done this mod....

I don't have a direct solution for you, but this app might help ease the pain:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&feature=search_result
It's designed to help people go the other way around, but it groups apps into three tabs -- On Phone (movable), on the SD card, and phone only. You could use the "On SD Card" tab to help you find the apps that are on the SD card, and you can click on one to go right to the app page and move it back.
You'll want to turn off "Notifications" under settings, as that feature notifies you when apps can be moved the SD card, which isn't what you're wanting to do.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep this in my back pocket.
The reason I'm looking for this mod is to avoid having apps default to the SD card when I restore them from Ti backup or purchase them from the market. Some apps (like angry birds for example) will default to SD card when available.
I'm trying to trick the system into thinking the SD is not available for app installs.

You could try this, but backwards. At the very end it tells you how to set it to internal memory. I'm not sure if location 0 is internal or automatic. Since location 2 is external, location 1 might be internal. You could try both. Hope this helps.

Awesome! Now that's what I was looking for!
Not sure what "pm" command does, but it took. I set it to zero; now I need to find a way to test it. Just I'll have to disable Dark Tremors a2sd and verify. If someone has tested this, let me know if zero is the right setting to force only internal installation.
Here's the followup question: Where is "setInstallLocation" defined in the system (file)?
That way I can use root explorer to verify the setting and not just push a value with the terminal or adb.
Thanks again!
Hello to all!
At last few days, my phone start bugging.. First and biggest problem is that, all apps from SD card are unreachable( cant be loaded, but they are installed).. Also, other files are available on SD card.. Can preview pics, listen music, etc.. Also, few days before this problem, phone didnt open any pic and failed to load any video.. I dont know what I did, but that problem is gone..
Phone is rooted, and worked fine till now..
I must notice that this is happen after SD defragmentation.. Maybe I'm wrong, but that is last app I installed before problem..
Please, give me some options becouse I have alot apps installed and moved to SD.
Ty for any suggestions, all are welcome!
If you have apks than try to install them again.
If you don't have apks
Than u can find your installed apks here
just open any file manager
Go to
MNT>ASEC
just copy them
To sdcard and reinstall
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.
Your SD card has gone kaput. Try scan and fix through Windows. If it fixed, even then you may have to install apps again.
Ahh, ty guys..
I have apps on application menager, but icon is like unmounted SD card..
Also, I tried to defrag by PC, scan with NOD32, and nothing..
I have good progress in games, so it would be a pity to play them again.. Btw, if that is only way, I dont have to choose..
Feel free to give me some more recommendations..:good:
Guys, if someone can post me some good file menager with which I can see and "backup" list of apps and apps.. I have installed Kies, but they dont have ability for that..

Mi File Manager will do the trick fro you. All you need is root on your phone.

Again, try saving the game folder on your PC and restoring after fresh install. It should work.
I tried today Mi File Explorer, and in APKs, I dont have all installed games.. Only few... Maybe I need to setup something?
Mi File Explorer shows the APK installer file and not the installed APKs. So if you need to backup your installed APK, then installed Airdroid first and then from web interface, select the games files you need to backup and you're done.
I tried to connect to Airdroid, but still no apps.. There are not on System apps too..
I also tried to format MMS, but nothing...
Ok, I downloaded a Root Browser Lite and in phone memory(I think, its first what I see when I open the app) in folder Data>data, I found app folders.. U can see in attachments.. What should I do now?
Hi,
I'm using CM10a3 by arco... I did the internal/external memory swapping and it worked.
The problem now is that many apps I had installed do not work anymore!
Apollo crashed - can't open it anymore! - while others say that they are not installed!
How can I repair them?
I tried copying all my folders from my internal memory to the sdcard (after the swap), but I still face the problems mentioned above!
Of course they dont work. Because you didnt move them. So now you have to reinstall them again

What do you mean?
They were not installed installed in the sdcard!
And also copying them to the sdcard does not solve the problem as I wrote before...
So what do I have to copy exactly and from where to where?
Can I go back maybe by undoing the swap? Would it work?

Best to swap immediately after flashing rom..try to clear data and reboot..or better to reflash and swap again. Thats d 1st thing i do. After flashing i boot up, open play store and only download root browser lite before swapping and reboot. Den ony install apps

I mean if u can reflash cm10 it would be better..less chance of bugs..start over. So your process should be..
Wipe data and cache
Flash cm10
Flash Gaaps
Reboot
Then after setting up phone, download any root file browser. I personally dont like d cm10 file manager.
Do the swap. Change 0>1, 1>0
Then REBOOT
And you're done. Can install ur other apps/backups.

OK, tx for your piece of advice, but I don't want to flash everything from scratch.
I swapped int/ext memory back and now everything works again, of course not the swap anyway...
What's the process of swapping in a not-pristine environment (i.e. with many apps installed)?

No worries
I haven't tried non-pristine flashing b4 but this should work (its vy similar to the above):
I am not responsible for any mishaps *MAKE NANDROID BACKUP*
Make CWM backup
Wipe data and cache (and dalvik cache, if u want)
Flash cm 10
Flash GAAPS
Reboot
Swap sd card (refer above)
Boot into cwm
Backups and restore > Advance restore > restore data
Wipe cache
Reboot
Pls tell me if it works out=)
If it doesn't jz restore ur backup..
P.s. If some apps FC or have problems after this method, try uninstall and reinstall.

The apks aren't working because when you did the swap you broke the "file paths" (to use windows terminology).... in other words, the phone OS was unable to locate the apk code/file where it expected to find it and the apk force closing/not working was the end result.
Have you undone the swap and found that everything now works?....
If that's the case, then there's no need to reflash. All you need to do is use an app like Gemini app manager to move all your apps to internal phone storage, then apply the swap and finally use Gemini again to move your apps back to your (now swapped) SD card....it's what I do, and it works perfectly every time.....

Correct: undoing the swap, everything works fine again.
You're right: I can confirm that the apps that the OS does not find - after the swapping - are those now on my SDCARD memory (moved via App2SD).
I had forgotten about these, sorry!
So I assume that following your suggestion, these apps will work after the swapping.
Nevertheless, Apollo - which is NOT on my sdcard - after the swapping FC, whereas it works flawlessly in "normal" (not swapped) environment... any idea how to solve that?
Tx a lot.

Yes, doing the move "post swap" with Gemini will work and has worked several times for me....
As for Apollo, I'm afraid I can't help there......I don't use it, I've frozen it in favour of Google Play Music which I downloaded from a link on XDA.
There are some apps which I keep on phone storage no matter what.... apps which I guess are used during start up.....apps like trebuchet, any themes you might have installed (and are using) and any security apps...(anti virus, permissions managers... that sort of thing).....the reason being that the phone performs a media scan at every startup, and the SD card is always the last storage volume to be mounted and scanned, so if there are any apps stored there that are needed during startup, the phone won't be able to access them until the Mount and scan has been performed......(remember I mentioned about file paths in my previous reply.....same principal applies)
Edit...just had a thought about Apollo, there are *some* apps that will only work if installed in phone memory....Gemini app manager is one of them.....maybe Apollo is another?....just a guess...
Edit 2....just had a similar problem with Google play music....to begin with, I had it in phone memory, then I moved it to SD card and suddenly the "widget" for it stopped working and the playlists I'd created were all empty.....moved it back and no issues other than the fact I had to re create the playlists.....

Yes I know, but imho it's not a problem waiting those 10 seconds for the SD to be read... every time you reboot your phone (very rarely in my case, like 2-3 times a week).
My policy anyway is to keep everything on phone storage, if possible, and move things to SD when the space is finishing.

There's a folder called /mnt/sdcard/android/data
If you swap the SDcards, that folder becomes 'shifted' to /mnt/external-sd/android/data.

Hi!
I recently installed the RamExtender application for my One V so it could run games more fluently.
However, right after installing it and creating a "ram-swapping" partition, my SD Card would not show up anymore in "My Computer" tab. I can only see my phone storage and the H: letter (usually the SD Card) is there but when I click on it, it says "Please Insert a disk into removable disk".
Please see the picture attached to the thread so you can see what's actually happening. The SD Card is not corrupted since my games still work and I can browse its files in ASTRO file manager... HTC Sync Manager won't sync either.
Any ideas how to fix it? I still want to put music and custom APKs in my SD Card!!
Thank you very much everyone
First of all, NEVER use these kinds of apps
if you're ROOTED, flash the Turbo Boost MOD
just delete the swap file u created from the SD card and you should be okay !

Thank you very much! Well I did uninstall the app and deleted the .swap file left behind by the app, but still the SD Card won't mount on Windows because it seems Ram Expander is not fully uninstalled
What other file/directory should I be looking for? How to be sure it's fully deleted?

The best and final way is to make factory reset, wiping everything, including SD card....
Then just install everything from scratch and you'll have working hov...

I have a weird problem that just started this morning, wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
My camera will not save to the Ext SD Card, if I switch to internal it works. Was working fine last night but not this morning. The only app updates I've done were Google+, YouTube, Google Search and Box.
I am rooted and have the SD Card fix, no not sure what causes the issue.

Sorry, I did search but nothing came up with this SD card problem.
I did uninstall xposed, now I can see what's on the SD open things, but can not write to it or delete anything and Google Play Music, doesn't show it as an option to save music to.
Looks like I'm going to have to re-format when I get home. Have no clue why it just stopped working, buts thanks for the help.
