my phone is runnign sluggish,. its due a hard reset, i have a lot of apps stored on thesd card, but i seem to recall last time i hard reset the phone i had to reinstall the apps from the play store...
is this required? or can i just copy the app shortcut back from the sd card to the phone?
if i do need to reinstall then i move the data over to the sd card again am i not just doubling up files on the sd card?
its stock rom, so i cant use all those titanium backup apps and stuff as far as i know..

Hi,
I want to partition my SD card so that I can install my apps to it.
My question : If i remove all my installed apps, music and photos from my SD card, what stuff do I loose when I partition my card? What stuff from the currently installed app would be lost?
Will some of the apps become unusable due to temp/cache files that gets deleted?
Regards,
Barend
Firstly, when you partition your SD card, you lose everything on the SD card. Everything on internal memory stays.
Secondly, some apps might not be usable as once after partitioning, i could not even boot up into the OS. Then i just flashed the Rom again.
Hope this helps;D
I have moved may apps to SD and can not find them. Were do they go too? Also as a 2nd question, when I clear data and flash a new rom do these apps stay on the SD card just taking up wasted space?
Thanks for any info you guys can give me.

I believe when clearing data, by selecting wipe sd partition in RA recovery, you'd be wiping whatever apps you have on your SD. But I would also like to know how to see the apps I've installed to SD via DT A2SD. Hope that helps somewhat.
They're in .android_secure, but you won't see them while the card is mounted in android (i.e., through Astro). Put the card in disk drive mode (or pull it an use a card reader if you prefer) on your computer and you'll see a bunch of .asec files. They're basically encrypted containers, so you can't just pop an SD card with a bunch of paid apps into another phone and move them back to their internal storage.
I do believe it gets wiped by both clockwork and amon when you wipe data. They're encrypted with a key somewhere in your data partition, so they're useless once you lose that.
I had done factory reset data for internal memory of my mobile with sd card mounted in it and after the completion of factory reset data sucessfully im unable to find the apps which are in sd card but it shows the same exact memory of sd card as before doing factory reset i tried to open with file manager no sign of apps which are in sd card!!!! does anyone know something about this ???? plzz i need help..
factory reset deletes everything didnt you know
Only data stored for apps are on SD.
So time to re-install them again
I need to make room on my internal and even on my external sd card, i have made backups using titanium backup... all i need to know is what folder contains those backups and what folders have my saved games including glu, gameloft, etc
The game data on your SD is only thongs like textures music etc. Delete all of that, it will are download when you load the game again. The folder wothbyour titanium backups should be labeled titanium backup.
Is there any way to make your SD card as a default storage for everything? I did it with my pictures and stuff, but apps keep installing straight to the phone.

You can't install everything on SD Card. Even when you move applications to SD, they will only transfer partially. Why do you want to move it all to SD ? You should have about 2 GB almost entirely dedicated for your apps.
I needed to do factory settings, steps before that i rooted my phone and i was able to put through some applications to SD card (for example FIFA 12, etc.). Obviously when i did the reset, the applications and root has disappeared, my SD card was out of the phone during this project to make sure that it will not be removed. When i turn on the phone and put SD card in the phone, it shows the same amount of free space as before but I dont know how to restore my FIFA and other applications back.
Do i need to do root and installl the same application i was moving data to SD card?
I bought this phone from other guy and FIFA was bought on his gmail account, i did account.db change and backup and signed in with my gmail and everything worked and i tricked the system. Now i am little bit worried to lose programs and i had on my phone.
Thanks for your help
Your saved game states are gone. They are saved in the internal memory not the sd card.

Depends on the game. Older games save their savestates on the SD card. Newer ones save it on the /data partition.
Use Titanium Backup for backing up.
i dont care about saves
MC3 game this is what i was able to save, only 4mb were needed to download.
i am more worried of other applications on my SD
is this something what can help me?
