With root explorer, i see that my apps are saved to something like '/system/sd/app,' but when I mount my G1, I can't find that folder. I can't even find the "system" folder. Anyone have any ideas?
Also, I pressed the "R/W" button on that folder in Root Explorer, but now I can't switch it back to R/O. It gives me an error saying, "Remount Failed: Device or resource busy."
what is it you want to do with the apps?
My gmail app is force closing, and I haven't found a way to reinstall it through market. I was going to try to replace the .apk.
I don't believe the gmail app is on the SD, it should be under /system/app/Gmail.apk
For the most part, the system apps install on the phone, the rest are on SD.
That still leads me to my first question, lol. I can't find the "system" folder after mounting my G1.
??
I don't know. I use the rooted file browser SUFBS and have never had a problem seeing the system folder.
Might have been associated with other changes you made to the system.
For me, if all else fails, I re-partition, wipe & re-flash.
Hopefully someone else can offer some better info.
I find it fine on my G1 via Root Explorer. It's just that I can't seem to locate it on my computer (i.e something like h:\system\app), after plugging my G1 in.
Sorry for any confusion.
You must be on a windows machine. You can not nativly see an ext partition under windows.
Look at the guides that tell you how to set up adb and adb push the application to the folder you want.

You can do these things right from recovery console, and probably terminal, I like recovery better though. place the file you want to use on the root of the SDcard. Since it is the Gmail.apk you want to replace you would go about it like this:
mount system
mount sdcard
cp /sdcard/Gmail.apk /system/app/Gmail.apk
reboot
thats pretty much it.
Hey this took me a few hours but its relatively simple. you'll need a little knowledge of DOS or maybe i'll just spell out everything for the noobs being that i'm one. IF YOU HAVE MANUALLY INSTALLED FROYO AND THE OPTION TO MOVE APPS TO SD IS STILL GREYED AND CAN'T BE SELECTED JUST DO THIS.(i'm running windows vista)
1. download and install the android sdk (unzip folder on desktop for easy access)
2. go to my computer then click on C:\ create a new folder here called android
3. go back to the sdk folder on the desktop then open it and go to tools
4. copy the contents of the tools folder to the android folder u just created
5. connect your phone in debug mode if u don't know how to do this go to settings then applications then developement then enable the usb debugging.
6. after doing that you should be prompted to install the drivers 3 will install automatically and one will fail once that one fails select "I DON'T HAVE DISC" then browse for drivers go back to the desktop where u have the android-sdk-windows folder, then go to the usb drivers folder and press ok the adb utility driver should now install. you will also be prompted to reboot the computer in order to access it do so.
7. once rebooted connect ur phone in debug mode again. it should connect smoothly. Now open up a command prompt.
8. From here you'll need to set the path to the android folder to get access to the adb commands do this by typing "path=c:\android" to test it just type adb and you should see all sorts of crap comming up in dos if that happens ur golden.
9. Now all u do is type adb shell you should now see this sign "$" if that happens ur golden now just give the command "pm setInstallLocation 2"
10. you should see the message pm setInstallLocation 2 after which the dollar sign will appear again.
11. exit then reboot you phone and UR GOOOOOD

Has anyone else tried this? I assumed that the apps had to support copying to SD in order to work, but Last.FM and a few other apps I have updated to 2.2 support today, and yet I still can't copy them to SD.

i updated to froyo last night and i have been trying to move the apps to sd but it was all greyed and couldn't be selected. i finally figured it out about an hour and a half ago after reading up on adb and stuff i decided to give it a test run cuz what ppl were saying about the apps didn't make any sense. so i tried that and VOILA worked like a charm let me know if it works for u. it did just fine for me
Apps to SD works fine with stock Froyo. The developer just has to support it. One app that does support it that I have found so far is "Armadillo Roll".
After you install, go to manage applications and you will see that the "move to SD" is not grayed out and you can in fact move it over with stock froyo.
thats a way around it man screw the developers

have you rebooted your phone yet?
Well, this has been discussed in a couple of threads before, and yeah, it's a working workaround...
pm is the the package manager application which install apks.
installLocation is a parameter which has 3 values...
0 - auto (phone or app decides where to install)
1 - force internal (forces apps to install in the internal memory)
2 - force external (forces apps to install on the sd card)
So, in short, in adb shell or a terminal enumlator, if you type
> pm setInstallLocation 2
all apps will be forcefully installed on the sd card, and you can move them to the phone.
But be careful, if you install widgets and some other aps which run as background processes, they will be killed if you mount ur sd card.
Also, if you have an apk file, u can force install that to the sd card via the adb install command without performing any of the above steps.
> adb install -s AppName.apk
-s forces the app to be installed on the sd card, without that flag, the phone or app will decide where to the app will be installed...

so far so good! Thanks for the tip!
Used with adb but I understand you to mean this command will work using terminal emulator app? this would be an easy way to control which apps go to the sd card.
Thanks again for the original post and the clarification. I do love Android and Froyo is rockin' more every day!
help
I downloaded a terminal app and typed
pm setInstallLocation 2
And the dialog gives me an explanation of what the 0 1 2 is and dosen't move the apps. What am I doing wrong?
Ah, this actually works. You have no idea how it feels to move those space hungry navigation apps to the sd card. Perfect!
Thanks!
Awesome! It works, now I can install more games that take up way too much space
Thanks!!
How did you guys do it, I tried with a terminal on the phone but no dice. Did I do something wrong?

Erm, I just followed instructions. I'm on unrooted N1 with Froyo.
Remember to reboot your phone for it to take effect. As Froyo categorizes apps in the application manager, you can tell which apps are installed on sdcard straightaway.
Only downside is once this takes effect, all future apps that you install will immediately be installed to your sdcard. May screw up apps that have background tasks or widgets.

disgusting comment.
Without the developers you would have nothing. NOTHING.
Don't do this, you're gonna end up with malfunction applications and then you're gonna get pissed at the developers for your own stupidity.
As i have written on my blog, you need to be aware of a few things:
"Don’t move apps that require a background service running all the time. Things like twitter, widgets, streaming apps (internet radio) and IM apps (you need the notifications even if you use the SD card for something else) should stay on the internal storage because they will break when you’ll use your sd card as a mass storage on your PC.
All the apps you’re going to install from now on will default to the SD card. In case you know for sure that the app uses a background service we advise moving it to the phone’s internal storage."
What you can do is to enable this trick, move all the apps you want to the sd card and reverse the trick so all your future apps will default to whatever setting they have.

If you want done from terminal, you need root(su). or use ADB save you from trouble.
The only issue with this method is market lost most of downloaded apps link after reboot the phone. Untill you install or upgrade any apps, then the link will refresh.
Use AppBrain check for any update first, then only need install one update. Go back to stock market, everything come back.
BTW: leave phone idle for 1 min after start the phone, otherwise some apps(home screen or app draw) will show default Icon. Phone need time to refresh the apps from SD.Hope next android release can mount SD before phone try to search for Apps(Like the APP2SD on root).
Hi,
like I said I cannot get Google apps on my nook color. I've tried everything. I originally had cm7.0.3 but that wouldn't work so I tried 7.1.0 rc and it still won't work. I tried booting in recovery mode numerous times, I've tried using ROM manger to install from SD but again doesn't work. Someone please help!

re-do everything. Do "adb pull /data/app/ app/" and "adb pull /data/data/ data/" and go into the app folder. Delete anything that has to do with Google (market, googleservices, etc.) Download cm7 and gapps from the links at the end of this post Put em on your sd card. Boot into recovery. Mounts & Storage, wipe data, system, and cache. Now flash cm7 first, then gapps. Now flash anything else you use (dal's OC kernel, etc) and reboot. Re-setup your Nookie. Now push puth the app/ and data/ folders to your sd card. Download File Expert and Root Explorer. Using file expert, navigate to the sd card. Select the app/ folder you pushed, and press and hold. Now hit install all apk packages. Keep installing. If you get an error, Setting>Applications>Allow Non-Market installs. Now use root explorer to merge the data/ folder on your sd with the /data/data/ folder on the emmc. Done. Hope that wasn't to complicated.

You are aware that when you do #3 you will take care of #1. wiping the /data wipes everything in it.
And if you want go about it that way you could even just do a
Code:
c:\<target folder> adb install [package name]
and it will install the app for you. so you can pull it, wipe it then reinstall everything.
adb pull backs it up. and whoops, here are links:
CM7: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/cm_encore_full-123.zip

Then why are you having the [OP] reflash the gapps if they are just going to manually install them?
the problem the [OP] is having is the device [Nook Color] will not connect to google's servers. It has nothing to do with the g/apps not showing up on the device.
No, we are backing up all the apps, because one time I had this problem and a fresh slate caused it. And as for the adb install commands, It would take forever, because you would have to type in the APK's name. For my method, all you have todo is hit Install. Just keep stabbing the right lower corner of the screen.

So because you reinstalled the applications it's magically reconnected to Google's servers?
Nope. There was something corrupt in my /data/ folder. Wiping and re-installing all apps was what I had to do.
OK your first post was a little complicated for me. this is the first time I've rooted somethiing. could you please put in simpler terms. by the way I don't have any apps on my device or any other data i care about so I don't need to back anything up if that would make it easier
also yes (neidlinger) I did have a internet connection, and I also can't install a new build through recovery
Alright, if you don't have anything to back up, do this:
Download CM7, gapps, and other stuff you want (overclock kernel) and put it on the sd card.
Now boot into recovery, CWM.
Go into Mounts + Storage. Wipe system, data, and cache. Go into advanced (on the first menu) and wipe dalvik cache.
Hit "install zip from sd card" and then "choose zip from sd card".
Now select CM7. Wait for it to flash
Choose zip again, but choose gapps, then flash an OC kernel if you wanted. Note the NC doesn't have back and menu buttons, so download a Hard Key editor to make Volume+ to menu and volume- back.
Now reboot device. Now set it up. After typing in your google account, it will *attempt* to connect to Google Servers. It will fail. It will then show a button to connect to wifi. Hit it and connect to the wifi. Then continue set up steps. Enjoy CM7 with a smaller guide. Much smaller.

To the OP. Do me a favor. And i under stand this is your first time messing with a rooted device.
I need you to either get your SDK up and running, and do the patch for it to pick up your Nook Color. Once you do that you need to go into the adb command prompt and type
Code:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
that will kill and start the the bridge to connect your phone to the computer
then type
Code:
adb devices
it should show your serial number
once that is done type
Code:
ls /data/app
That will show you all of your applications that are store in the /data folder on your device.
should see a bunch of com.android.[package_name]
They'll look like this
Code:
com.google.android.apps.books-2.apk
com.google.android.apps.docs-2.apk
com.google.android.apps.googlevoice-2.apk
com.google.android.apps.maps-2.apk
com.google.android.apps.plus-1.apk
com.google.android.apps.reader-1.apk
com.google.android.gm-1.apk
com.google.android.music-2.apk
com.google.android.street-1.apk
com.google.android.voicesearch-1.apk
com.google.android.youtube-1.apk
If you see those then you know your Google Apps were installed when you flashed the package from the get go.
you can also do a
Code:
ls /system/app
and look for MarketUpdater.apk GoogleServicesFramework.apk. If you see those then you know are good to go.
The only reason i'm not suggesting it's a bad flash is i had the SAME problem when i went from Rooted Stock to CM7. Once i logged into my device all of the G/Apps showed up. It was almost like they do appear until you are logged in.
what is SDK and adb
chad11 said:
what is SDK and adb
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SDK is Software Development Kit. It enables one to create ROMs, Themes, Applications and what not. (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)
the ADB is the Android Debug Bridge it is what enables your phone to talk to your computer. via the CMD prompt. (http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html)
The very basics of it you will need the ADB drivers. Which i have a link to in my signature. However some extra steps must be taken to make the computer pick up the Nook Color.
I mtried to get them both but when I tried to install SDK It said I had to install a java SE thing but i don't know which windows to install: 84, 64, or ititium. I don't know if I spelled it right but they wouldn't work
@neidlinger in your post it said "ls /data/app". Well, actually it should be "adb shell ls /data/app"
Heads up.
hey, I just figured something out. when I boot into clockworkmod recovery it deosn't show up. then when I take the sd card out and power it back on it shows up. what does this mean
I have Racks' dual boot CM7/CM9 SD running on my NC. I have downloaded all of my apps using CM7. I don't have access to them when I boot to CM9. Is there a quick/easy way to use the apps in CM9? Do I have to DL them all again after booting to CM9 or is there another trick?
thanks
~mike
What you could do is download a file explorer with root permissions (e.g. Root Explorer) on the cm9 system then follow the below directions:
1-Open up Root Explorer and browse to /mnt
2-Now create a new folder called cm7data
3-now open up terminal emulator and enter the following commands
Code:
$ su
# busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 /mnt/cm7data
4-Now go back to Root Explorer via the recent apps menu
5-Browse to /mnt/cm7data/app
6- In there you will find all the apps you have downloaded to the CM7 from.
7-You can install the apps from here
8-I'm not sure how apps with license check will react towards this, but give it a try I guess.
9-After you're done make sure you go back to Terminal Emulator via the recent apps menu and perform the following commands:
Code:
# busybox umount /mnt/cm7data
# exit
$
10-That's it!
Or you can just redownload all the apps for CM9 because some apps might be tablet specific. Why run phone apps on a tablet when you can run tablet apps.

A quick coda to Racks' excellent suggestions. I keep copies of all my critical apps in a file on my SD (uploaded via Wifi File Explorer from DB on computer). That way they're available for reloading any time I choose from either boot. And if card gets wiped, I can re-upload them. Been doing this since waaaay back for CM7. Still a useful habit.
Duplicate Apps
I used Titanium Backup to backup all the apps I loaded in one OS and re-install them in the second OS.
Hmmm, Ramsay64. I had trouble trying that with Titanium. Save and restore covered CM7 fine, but when I tried to re-install apps in CM9 TBU wouldn't recognize my files, either from normal bu on SD card or from uploaded zip file. How'd you get it to work?
Titanium Backup has a list of all your apps backed up or not. After switching to Cm9, open TB, look at the bottom of the list and any apps installed on cm7 but not cm9 will be listed with a line through the name. click on it and hit restore. I just tried it again to make sure I wasn't crazy and it works like a charm. It was aggravating to download for both boots and this made it simple. I can backup an app in cm7 and load just the data in cm9 to keep them up to date when I switch back and forth. My setup is the original dual boot cm7/cm9 from Racks.
BTW, Thank you Racks. I enjoy reading everyone's posts on new ideas, unfortunately my coding skills barely get me through making spreadsheets do what I want.

after activating wp_mod.ko with insmod-command you have to do another command in terminal as su :
mount -o remount,rw /system
now the wp_mod.ko takes effect und you can edit /system (carefully)
after rebooting the device /system is writeprotected again and you have to renew the command

Do below steps for a permanent system write access
Do step by step very carefully. After this, install root uninstaller(Search Google play). If installed, uninstall & reinstall after this.
1 install TWRP
2 Boot into twrp
3. Select the "Mount" option on the main menu and tick system
4. Go back to the main menu and then go into the "Advanced" option. There will be a "File Manager" option
5. Navigate to the folder you saved the .ko file in and copy it (just touch the file and it will bring up the menu)
6. now navigate to /system/lib/modules and copy the file there by hitting the "select" button on the bottom right.
7. Navigate to /system/lib/modules and insure the file is there. Now touch it to bring up the menu. select "Chmod" option and enter in 644
8. reboot the device
9. Once booted fully open up Terminal emulator and type:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
10. Once that's done open up a file manager app with root access and mount as r/w and navigate to /system/etc and look for the file install-recovery.sh*
11. edit the file using a text editor, adding the line insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko towards the bottom of the file
12. reboot and enjoy r/w on boot without running the command every time.

11. edit the file using a text editor, adding the line insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko towards the bottom of the file
12. reboot and enjoy r/w on boot without running the command every time.

Do below steps for a permanent system write access
Do step by step very carefully. After this, install root uninstaller(Search Google play). If installed, uninstall & reinstall after this.
1 install TWRP
2 Boot into twrp
3. Select the "Mount" option on the main menu and tick system
4. Go back to the main menu and then go into the "Advanced" option. There will be a "File Manager" option
5. Navigate to the folder you saved the .ko file in and copy it (just touch the file and it will bring up the menu)
6. now navigate to /system/lib/modules and copy the file there by hitting the "select" button on the bottom right.
7. Navigate to /system/lib/modules and insure the file is there. Now touch it to bring up the menu. select "Chmod" option and enter in 644
8. reboot the device
9. Once booted fully open up Terminal emulator and type:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
10. Once that's done open up a file manager app with root access and mount as r/w and navigate to /system/etc and look for the file install-recovery.sh*
11. edit the file using a text editor, adding the line insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko towards the bottom of the file
12. reboot and enjoy r/w on boot without running the command every time.

Thanks for the reply, man, but is there any tutorial I could follow those steps? I mean is there any videos or somehow? because this seems too much complicated to me, as I am still new to android world after getting addicted to Nokia mobiles..
Do games run smoothly on this phone since we're talking about moving the to SD?

Yeah, it runs smoothly epically. I didn't face any lag problems except for asphalt 8. It just lags on high graphics, but works fine for both medium and low..
Still waiting for someone to help me doing the up procedure. :/

Fist make your SD writable. Then install GL to SD.
Google for GL to SD tutorial.
Don't wait for anyone, Google is a good teacher.

Yikes, never HTC again after my experience with this phone. Buying the s5 tomorrow, hopefully I don't regret it.

What happened that changed your mind on the 816? You've always seemed like you were enjoying the phone.

Might just be bad luck for me, but my headphone jack stopped working, my sim card slot broke, and my SIM card spring broke. Also I didn't like the limited storage and awkward buttom placement.
