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?

This is a hack that that allows you to swap internal storage with your external SD card so you can increase your app data storage.
All credits go to original i9300 App2ExtSD Hack by mattiadj. I simply hacked it to work with U.S. versions and also I've added code so it will disable this feature when you don't have a microSD card inserted (app storage will default to internal when no microSD card is inserted).
E.g. If you have 16GB internal storage on Galaxy S3, you can install this witih a 64GB microSD card and swap the storage and get 64GB on your app storage instead of 16GB.
Before you can use this, you will need:
1) Rooted Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535/SPH-L710/SGH-T999/SCH-I747) or also Canadian versions too (i747m, etc...etc...)
2) A ROM/kernel with init.d support!
3) I've only tested this with TouchWiz-based ROMs, so it should work on stock ROMs and any TouchWiz-based ROMs, not sure on CM9 or CM10.
4) You must use the FAT32 or EXTFAT zip file below, depending on what format your microSD Card is in! (e.g. if you have a FAT32 microSD card, use FAT32)
To get this working, simply flash the zip files in your CWM Recovery:
Download and Details:

If you are on stock ROM or any TouchWiz-based ROMs, you can flash my new HighOnAndroid kernel to get init.d support on your phone here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30718496
If you do not have init.d support, you can also enable on any rooted phone by using Script Manager, here's a quick tutorial:
I recommend you to FORMAT your microSD card once to get camera working flawless before using this hack!
How to disable this:
If for some reason you are having trouble, simply delete /system/etc/init.d/11extsd2internalsd.
OR
if you leave your microSD card out during boot (then re-insert it after), your phone will work as normal (internal storage used for app data).
Sounds awesome thanks

Is it best to wipe first, or will this move all the app data from the internal to the external for you?

It is best to do a wipe to start on a clean slate, or you can also copy the contents of your internal to external.
OR, I like using Titanium Backup to backup app and its data then restore after putting in the microSD card.
it works great, thanks for the mod, will report if I find any problem w/ it.
Great work max! I was using stock rooted rom.. Now I need to look for one I like that has int d support.
Thanks for this though appreciate it!

Would it be possible for you to create a Stock kernel with just the init.d supporthe?
My SD card is reporting "vFat" as the type......is that FAT32 or EXTFAT or neither? lol
yes let me see if i can upload it tomorrow

Is there a way to tell what first the sd card is from the phone? Not really sure on what first it is
When I use Camera to take picture, picture are not stored
Anyone else has the same problem, or could you please test the Camera.
I didn't to the clean wipe.

I meant format. Sorry about that. Autocorrect got me again.
This is great! I'm curious if this mod sticks if I flash an updated/new rom? Do I need to flash this zip after I flash the rom? Also, what happens if I wipe my phone when I have this mod? Do I need to re flash as well?
Is there a custom rom that let's apps be ran on the sd card?

No not all apps. It depends if developer supports it.
So I was wondering if there was a rom that let's all apps be ran from sd card
I rooted my device and it works ok. I would like to move some apps to sd card but T211 doesn't support operation. I would also like top install some custom rom on my device. Any advice?

Hi guys wanted some help on this issue. I just updated my p600 to stock lollipop 5.1.1 btu. I previously had jelly bean 4.3 stock. I dont have root.
I use utorrent to usually download content direct on my external sd card but since the update it dont let do that anymore
I can download to internal sd but i sometimes download huge size files and dont have enough space on internal to do so.
I was wondering if theres any work around to download direct to external sd card? P.s. i dont have root and am fully stock due to warranty. Thanks

You are right. SD card did not work with cm-12.1-20151115-UNOFFICIAL-temasek-lt03wifi-V18.5.zip. But, go back to the October builds and the SD card works

Nope, google doesn't want you using sd cards so they prefer to make life hell for us...
If you wish to use the sd card to torrent, really fast way to kill sd cards by the way, then you will need to root . You will also need a custom kernel or you'll boot loop after rooting... Sorry...
