Heya..
I copied all my apps to my sd card...but im wondering how I can install and run the apps from the sd so they arnt in phone memory?
Can't find any info on this >_< i mite just suck as searching though
Thanks in advance
/bump
anyone?
depends, if you have root, and if your on the T-mobile G1 or the Rogers HTC.
you should read up a bit more before posting, some of this stuff can be found very easily and you don't even specify which phone you have.
either case you still need to root your phone.
if your with rogers dream, than your stuck, it isn't possible yet
oh sorry.
i have a rogers htc dream rooted...so its nto possible? darn, any idea when it mite be available?
D
hmm...didn't know it wasn't possible on the Rogers. I figured he could just root, partition and install the latest Cyanogen ROM
if you can install cyanogen's rom, you can just partition your sdcard to ext3 and cyans rom will automatically set up apps to sd
make sure the fat partition comes first
fat32, ext3 partition
make sure the ext3 partition isnt greater than 1.5gb
use the search function for info on the above
i read you can't use cynaogens roms on rogers though..something about incompatability?

There is a tutorial with pictures here: http://www.allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5870 The program it describes, Paragon Partition Manager is what I use and it is quite handy.
Ok thanks I'm going to try it later tonight
can i use the partition professional edition 30 day trial or do i have to buy the full verison??
The trial version I believe is 100% fully functional so you shouldn't have any issues. Remember FAT32 for first partition then EXT2 or EXT3 for the second partition. I wouldn't make the second partition larger than 1GB personally too...
really easy tutorial with pics and everything

I read, and read, and read. Most of the chefs cook this mod into their ROM's but i am using the desire from modaco, so i`m left out.
As far as i understand, you have to create 3 Partitions on the SD Card:
- swap
- Ext2/3?
- FAT32
After that you do some shell editing and that's about it.
I`m sure some are wondering as i do if:
- Can i create the partitions in Windows and then place the card back into the phone?
- If i install apps2sd is backup still required? Or will a new ROM Flash automatically use the installed apps?
So this is an appeal to someone with the heart and knowledge to help us out with a guide.
Thanks
Found this thread, so basically it should work after flashing that ROM on top of the current OS.
You do not need the swap partition... just an ext partition (size your choice)... the rest vfat... and you partition it using Amon_RA's recovery...
And when you flash a new ROM, you might need to re-enable App2SD in that ROM to see the apps installed in the sd ext partition...
a related question.... can the files of the existing apps be moved from /data to the new partition /sd and still function.....or do they need to be reinstalled?
I highly doubt you can just move them...

tried this... was not successful!
I can't even get the "SD Secondary" to show up?!?
I've wiped everything
partitioned:
swap 0
ext 640
then installed a fresh rom I copied over and no "SD Secondary" showing up on the phone... any ideas?
I followed these steps exactly... (minus the memory number difference)

Guys,
If you want to use A2SD. Enothmer's new ROM seems to be the easiest at the moment, BUT many smart devs are putting efforts towards this.
Basically.
Copy your SD to your computer.
Partition it via Recovery.
512mb 96 swap our my settings
do an EXT2 to 3
I did a 3 to 4, you can use 3 though.
Re copy your stuff from computer BACK to your SD.
WIPE everything via recovery. factory, EXT partition, battery, davlik.
Flash Enom's 1.7.1 rom, Log in, Go into spare parts, click disk mgmt, check A2SD stuff, reboot. Your good to go. Use titanium back up, download, whatever.
Again, other good versions should be coming out soon. I think of the current models Enom's seems to be the easiest.
Yeah I pretty much gave up on it for now... it will be more worth it in the future when I get a larger SD card and my list of install apps goes up. For now I just don't go download a ton of apps...
hi everyone,
As the title says, do we really need it? in my understanding, those are created bcoz the G1 doesnt have enough storage to run custom ROMs. I might be wrong though.
up until now, my sd card is just a normal storage without any partition. i cant find dalvik cache as well no matter what instructions im following.
Therefore i just want to make sure, does 32A really need them? and may i know what's the purpose of having then on the sd card.
Thanks in advance
I have recently rooted and installed evil eris 3 rom and have been trying unsuccessfully to get a2sd working. I have no idea how ive tried flashing the kernel file but when i boot the phone up i still have the same amount of space in my internal storage. If someone could please give me a quick tutorial on how to go about this and get a2sd working id appreciate it
I would ask for help with this ROM here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650302

That is the page discussing it.
Howdy.
I'm kinda new to the whole scene, but I managed to root my tattoo and than flashed the modaca R3 with additions.
But somehow I'm not sure if app2sd is working at all. Do I have to prepare something like Idontknowwhat creating a folder named "APP" or so?
I hope someone can actually help me..
Greetings

You need an Ext2/3/4 Partition. This can be done in recovery but wipes your sd card, so back up first
Also, MoDaCo ROM only includes Apps2SD if you select it in the online kitchen. If you don't have access to this, my ROM (see signature) is also based on stock and has Apps2SD
Hope this helps
Okay. That problem seems solved.
But I still have one question left:
When are the apps saved to SD? Are only new ones affected or does this also work for updates?
Thanks

If you have the correct partition, all Apps are moved to the SD the first time you boot with Apps2SD enabled, then all new apps are installed there
I also have a few questions about partitioning to get apps2sdd. If you partition the sdd does the gold-card get wiped as well, or it just wipes the user data? And is Windows still able to mount the sdd when it's an ext2/3/4 partition? Finally is it safe to partition when using a custom ROM? (using HCDR 1.5 atm)

Yes, the goldcard will get wiped. Everything does, unfortunately.
Windows is still able to mount the Fat partition of the SD card when using an Ext partition.
And partitioning in recovery is independent of the ROM being used so it will be fine no matter which ROM you use (glad to know you're on mine though )
