I've gotten my first ever droid phone for about 5 hours now. After rooting it I got on a "market" spree to realize that I'm almost out of space. Is there an easy way to install these apps on the SD card?
Wait for Froyo
With system upgrade to version 2.2 some apps will allow sd install. Epic is currently at 2.1

i think i have rooted my phone (Quick rooter for stock FroYo systems + 2.6.34 kernel) but now all i need is to install apps to the sd card! is that possible yet?
so since no1 could reply to my "is apps 2 sd availible on froyo root" question, i had to use 3 sites to put together and come up with "yes". now using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686588 with the quick root posted above,
does that mean i have ROOTed Froyo with Apps2SD now?
It's working fine* for me, I have Live Earth wallpaper installed on the SD card.
*As it was intended, you can't mess with things till the devs have updated apps to support it.
And how to app2sd?
I don't any ROMs at all have been made for the Flipout, although I could be wrong. As for moving apps to the SD card, is there any particular reason you can't just open up the Market and download the free "App 2 SD (move apps to SD)" app?
"app2sd"apps?
I cannot find out..
app2sd is not available on flipout because flipout is currently running on andoid 2.1 and unfortunatelly there is no android 2.2 planned for it.
i'm using a tool called app2card, but your device needs to be rooted...
try to google it...
sadly motorola said that the flipout will remain on android 2.1
but to store your apps on sd card you can load app2card.
look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769803
before you can use app2card you need a rooted flipout.
just look for universalandroot.apk here in the forum! install it and root your mobile!
then you have to mod your sdcard! you can make this with app2card! you need a fat32 partition and a ext2 partition (ext2 max. 1,4GB)
if you have done that every new app will be stored on the sdcard...you can store your phone apps also on sd. there are lots of tuts here.
sometimes your phone gets slower. depends on the class of sdcard!
i prefer an app caled "app monster" it stores the *.apk files you loaded on sdcard. if you need it you can install it. so i can install or deinstall how i want.
try out
Hi, is there any way of storing the apps and running them from the SD card on the Wildfire?
Cheers,

I guess you must be new to Android so welcome.
Phones running on Android 2.1 CANNOT store apps in SD card by default.
Only phones running on Android 2.2 would be possible to do so.
However there are a number of ways you can do to enable this function in your phone.
1.root your phone then flash a custom Rom with apps to SD capability or comes with 2.2
2.patiently wait for 2.2 to come...
3. Backup apps and delete them when not in use
4. Live with it..
Correct me if I had missed out anything.

So I keep getting the low space alert, and it seems like my emails and texts stop when that happens, which is no bueno... I don't know why since I only have like 5-6 apps installed and have cleared my text msgs, but it keeps happening...
Is there a way for me to move my apps to the SD Card, as well as have them install there in the future *without having to root*? I'm not rooted, and due to it looking like a PITA, I really don't want to have to do it. I did the upgrade to 2.2 when I got it, and the option is in the setting to move each app to the SD Card, but that option is disabled and I cannot engage it.
Any ideas?
No one? Seriously?
Ok, how about this. If I do need to root to remove some apps and whatnot or however to make space, and I have no interest in custom ROM's, Radios, etc, what is the quickest and easiest way to root? One without having to install the SDK or anything like that? I am currently on 2.2.1, stock.
unfortunently, you do have to have root access to use apps to SD. BUT, i said the same thing about custom roms when i first started modding. heres what you can do.
1) Root your phone and install a CWM recovery using one of the many useful guides on this site
2) (optional) Achieve S-OFF in Hboot. this allows for further modification of a roms internal files after it has been flashed.
3)Download and flash the CM7 Rom(and gapps) from cyanogenmod.com (ensure that it is the rom for your phone)
4)Partition your SD card for EXT 4. (this is done in an app called ROM manager from the market.)
5) After you've booted into android, go to the android market and download an app called S2E. CM7 has its own built in A2SD, but ive found this to be the simplest and best overall.

There are several options on how to root your fone after you've upgraded to 2.2. Your real problem is, & this is the reason why they made the update available on HTC's website, rather than just doing an OTA, that the 2.2 package w/ Sense is just too big for the available internal storage...
The 2nd problem is, I noticed the guy prior suggested obtaining "S-off". This CANNOT, @ least last time I checked around, be done once you've updated to the stock HTC build of 2.2. You can still root the phone using one of the many methods available in the MT3GS android development boards & then install CM7 which frees up a lot internal storage space on the phone....

Hi,
A friend and I recently ran SuperOne Click, unlocked the bootloader (yeah, I know now), and used ROM Manager to install Cyanogen 7.1.0-N1 on my Nexus One.
I had backed up all of the apps and data with MyBackup Pro. That proved to pretty much be a waste of time since all of the apps needed to be reinstalled from the Market to work.
It runs pretty well, but I cannot move an app to the SD card without the phone restarting from the skateboarding . I assume this is because the app already exists on the card. When this was in issue in stock upgrades, I just had to move it twice. At least it wouldn't crash!
Did I do anything wrong?
Any help is appreciated!
Does anyone have any idea why the stock CM ROM crashes when it moves an app to the SD card?
