a problem after installing new rom

hello all, i used to run the stock rom froyo, now i installed Android Revolution HD 3.5 wich is froyo also, and i'm making all the settings and app install, but i'm trying to move apps using app2sd or the stock application manager, the system give me computing for all apps without finish the computing, and i cant move apps.
since i know that customized roms are better with moving apps to sd than stock and support better this feature, what is going here, did i missed anything?
i did a full wipe before i installed the rom, but nothing else.
i installed all my apps, and all went to sd, but i have to move some of them to the internal just as how i used to manage on the stock, but i cant, anything to help please?

did you missed out to "allow" the superuser for apps2sd apps ?

apptosd never asked for permission, not before and not now, i think it's something related to the sd card repartition or ext4, i'm not sure just speculations.
and one more issue i have now with the new rom, in the dialer i used to enter numbers and the smart feature filter the phone numbers by contact names and numbers, now it's just do the filter by contact by default, and in order to make the filter by phone numbers i have to long press the 0 first and then enter the number, and my phone usage is based on searching the call history or dialed numbers by phone number filter. is there a way to fix this also?
thanks for any help

any other suggestion and help please? i'm stuck with the app installation i cant install anything now before i move apps

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you can try with any apk from the market to move the apps to sd-card.. if it it isn´t effective i recomend flash an other rom and test if persists...

[Q]

I have 4 apps that I either use all the time or use to help me with my career in one way or another. When I view them from within Manage Applications (in Settings menu), none of them give me the option to move them to my external 16GB card (ie the "Move to SD card" button is grayed-out).
The apps are causing my phone to respond extremely slow, and I can't even open emails using the native Email app, as I get errors stating that I don't have enough internal memory available.
To get the phone to work, I've been having to continually remove and reinstall these applications that I need, as I need them.
Is there a way I can move my apps to my SD card even though the option is grayed-out? If not, are there any other ways to keep using my much-needed apps, yet alleviate the internal memory issues they're causing?
I really wish this phone came with more internal memory. Thanks in advance for your taking the time to read this!

First off, lets start with the basics, Are you rooted, what ROM are you running, and if possible, can/will the SD card run A2SD?
Secondly, what apps are you attempting to use on the SD card? Some apps run better on the system on Froyo and some run better on the SD card in Gingerbread.

I'm not yet rooted, I'm trying to do that now using these instructions, but I'm stuck at Step 9, where it says, "adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip".
Any idea what that means, or how exactly you're supposed to execute that step?
How do I go about teling you the kind of ROM I'm using?
The apps I'm using are Feedsquares, JEFIT, TuneInRadio, and Evernote.

That's a good start, though I would follow these steps if I were you. Have you updated your phone to the latest Froyo Update available for the MyTouch Slide? If not then don't, it will make things more difficult for you and cut down on options in the future. If SO, then you'll NEED to follow the Step by Step guide I linked. as far as ROM... it's the OS you choose (after rooting) to install. Either CyanogenMod Froyo, Gingerbread, Salsa Slide, etc etc. Those are ROMs. I'll look futher into the apps you mentioned and see how they respond on my phone tomorrow and update you on my personal thoughts there.
P.S. Is you didn't update to the most recent Froyo then that would explain why you can't Apps 2 SD, as Eclair does not have that option. Froyo, Gingerbread and up have that option available.
P.S.S. If you have not already read it... read the noob FAQ... Thanks a lot.

How do I know if my phone has the latest Froyo Update or not? All of this terminology is new to me. All I'm really trying to do is force some of these applications onto my SD card so I can free-up some device memory.
Did you get the opportunity to test out the apps?
I will check out and print the noob FAQ right now.
P.S. I would like to have iHeartRadio and "Twitter" app installed as well, but I just don't have the space on my phone in it's current state.

Go to menu>settings>about phone> android version. That will let you know what version of android you are using.

Once you read the noob FAQ things will get cleared up for you. If you are running Android 2.1, then you are on Eclair and are unable to install on SD.

I have 2.2.1

so you are running T Mobiles Froyo update. After reading the noob FAQ, root your phone and pick a ROM to install. I suggest using the root method I linked in a previous post. Good Luck. Afterwards you shouldn't have any problems getting those apps to SD card. works fine on my phone.

[Q] Moving apps into system ROM

In another thread, some instructions were posted for moving apps from internal memory to the system rom. I followed the instructions, but I think I'm missing something because I'm just getting force closes. I've copied the apk files to the SD card, uninstalled the app, changed the permissions, then rebooted. I used Adobe Reader and Google+ since I don't use them often, and wanted to try something that wouldn't matter too much if I goofed it up. Since I was getting the force closes, I thought I had to install them (long press on apk file and click install). Well, that defeated the purpose because it installed them to internal memory. So was I supposed to do something else, or did I miss a step? And now I've got some stray files on the internal memories, since that has now shrunk. I was able to "uninstall updates" to Google+ and get rid of most of it, but I don't see where to uninstall them so I can start over.
I'm using the free Root Browser instead of Root Manager, don't know if this has anything to do with it or not.

Copy the apk into /system/app, change the permissions and then reboot. If you still get force closes, wipe dalvik and cache in recovery.

Thanks, it seems to be working. Doesn't seem like it's saving any space though. It must still be installing part of the app, or some data, on internal memory. (And yes, I'm uninstalling the apps before moving them.)

[Q] Android uninstall

Hi friends.
Can someone please help me, I am having a doubt from so many days regarding android uninstall
When you are installing the app it is taking some time but for uninstall it is not taking even seconds, my doubt is that, is it removing all the relevant files from the root or its just removing the executable files. i have installed and uninstalled apps on my device, after uninstalling i did not see any performance, currently i dont have additional apps on my device but still it is taking time to launch the contacts why? if contacts are already open then the second time it is opening immediately but very first time it is lagging why? what was the root cause? galaxy note 2 having 2gb ram but i am not feeling so. Please hel[ me

I think on installing apps it need to unzip the app files first. Whereas on uninstall it is only deleting. Also just becaue it says ok on uninstall it dobt mean it is still deleting stuff on background.
I kbow what you are worried about. It is like windows that once you install and uninstall enough programs it leave behind a lot of rubbish on disk. There isnt much you csn do about that if the programer are lazy on doing uninstall correctly.
Nevertheless I believe that a factory reset or a reflash a rom is same as a window format reinstall.

Use sdmaid app. It removes those files.
sent from my GT-N7100. Press thanks if I helped..

The procedure I use is:
1. Force stop (if necessary)
2. Clear Data
3. Uninstall
That gets rid of most of the cruft. If there's anything left over after that a reboot usually gets rid of it. If not then use a utility like the aforementioned sdmaid or clean master will do the job.

Can't Uninstall Apps from Play Store (and more frequent app update/install failures)

Hi there,
Recently I saw that I cannot uninstall apps from the Google Play store. Usually when viewing an app that is installed on my device, there are options for "open" or "uninstall".
The "uninstall" option is not present right now. I noticed this only a day ago (relative to the post date of this post)
The only major changes I know I have made to my device are that I moved a few apps to the "2nd partition" of the SD card via Link2SD, and I put a large amount of videos on the main partition of my SD card (though I don't know why this would affect Google Play not being able to uninstall stuff)
I have a rooted Tab S running stock (no custom ROMs), and I am running Lollipop and have disabled OTA updates
Any ideas?

I am in the same boat RE missing the uninstall option in Google Play Store. I even did a clean re-install of the ROM (IronRom 2.5) I'm using, with no success.
Hopefully the option reappears again soon. It's a pain to have to uninstall via settings.
EDIT: Also having the same issue on my old Motorola Xoom tablet that my daughter is now using - running OmniRom 4.4.4.

Have you done anything like moving apps using Link2SD or anything?
I think this could be a cause for this problem...
I recently uninstalled Link2SD from my device and since then the Uninstall option has come back in Google Play
