Hi guys
I have this problem after froyo update...When I move some app to sd card or revers my UI reloads all over like when turns on phone and some widgets like message and weather widget doesnt work well. I f reset my phone but same again. Is there any solution???
Yes, move your apps with widgets back to internal memory. It's a bug or something, devs even warn you about in their app descriptions.
I dont have any app or widgets on screen that are in sd card...

Why do i lose my widgets when i move an app to my sd card? I read on googles android section, that apps that are moved to sd, that you have to reboot to get your widget back. I rebooted, and still no widgets. Any ideas?
Install the app that contains the widget on your phone. Problem Solved.
Just make it a habit of installing all things that you absolutely need on your phone (things with widgets), and everything else (like games, other stuff) on your sd.
why are the widgets deleted when installed on SD? Whats the point of installing on sd when you dont get all the features of the app? Seems as though google needs to work on this feature quite a bit
The apps also aren't entirely installed to the SD card. Look at them in settings and they'll have a little data on the phone, and usually most of it is on the SD card. I'm sure Google will improve it, but as others said, things with widgets you should leave on your phone, everything else, on the SD card. The only app I have that I use the widget for is Pandora, so all my really large apps sit on my SD card.
I found when I moved a bunch of apps to the SD card I lost use of the widget associated with the app, not sure if there is a way to fix it. To get the widgets back you need to move the offending app back to the phone and then reboot. Hope this helps someone.
Uh... yeah. If you use an app called move2sdenabler they have a warning specifically telling you that you can't move widgets to the sd card.

Ok Apps2SD don't work with 2.1, too bad!
But I have an idea that maybe can work?
Back few years ago I was using Palm software that run software from SD; really not directly from SD as these install soft on demand in RAM.These where very succefull software or add to regular launcher
All stuff that didnt need to stay on RAM (for background purpose) could go to SD like games or others.
The software was not in RAM but a shortcut was and call the SD launcher, launcher install app in RAM and when exiting application the launcher send back data and app to SD or just data and uninstall app.
It was of course a delay for running and exiting but who cares!
Is there anything like that for Android?
Thank you
Just recently (like ten minutes ago) I decided I would finally move all my Apps to my sdcard using Titanium Backup. After it was complete, I powered off and back on again just to be safe and noticed all my widgets were messed up, so I removed them and went to add them back on again. Thats when I noticed that none of the apps I originally would see under the widgets menu were there, but they were still installed on my phone. Are all the Widgets that are in Apps placed on our sdcards inaccessible or is it just me? Because if it isn't just me, then having all the Apps on the sdcard is just pointless in my opinion. Anyone else experience this?
You cannot have widgets for Apps that are on your SD card.
It is not just you.
I am not aware of how to fix this.

It isn't pointless to move apps to your SD just because widgets won't work, the whole point of apps to SD is to move LARGE apps to your SD to have more space on your phone for other apps.
guess I'll just move them back then
It's a limitation of googles apps2sd. Just like when you mount the sd card on your pc, those apps become unavailable. Before froyo and native apps2sd, we formatted the sd card with 2 partitions. One fat and one ext, then you union or symlink the ext part to /data/. It worked 1000x better than googles does. Apps where accesible while mounted, and widgets acted normal. Wish we could still do it like this.

Hi all
I am running CM7.1 with LauncherPro.
Thanks to my kids and google's recent $.10 app deals I now have about 200 apps/games on my phone and I ran out of space on my internal so I was using Titanium Backup to move apps to SD in batches of 25-30 apps. I had no problems until the last batch I did. Now the phone freezes up within 5 minutes of booting up and I have to keep popping the battery to reboot.
I figure one of the apps in that last batch has issues being moved to SD. So I want to try just moving them back. Problem is, it doesn't stay usable long enough to get back into TB and move them. Also, I'm not sure which app it is I have to move back. I tried popping out the SD card and putting it in my PC to look at .android_secure and I can see the most recent batch of apps simply by sorting by modified date. The batch I ran was for 29 apps, but this shows only 23 apps. I tried deleting those 23 asec files, but the phone is still freezing after a few minutes up.
I really, really want to avoid going back to a previous nandroid backup because I only make them once a month and the last one was 11/24 and I have made sooo many tweaks and changes since then.
Please help. Is there a log file for TB batches maybe that can help me figure out which is the problem app? Or does it sound like it might be something else?
I'm going through the same problem myself; hoping that pushing this thread back to the top will get a reply from someone.
I didn't realize until reading this that all the moving apps to the sd card which I've done lately may have caused all my recent freezing. I've also lost the homescreen icons on several of my apps.
Is there a rule about what kind of apps shouldn't be put on an sd card?
Do you have the list of apps you moved in the last batch?
Can you post it here?
I know you must not move widget on sdcard. It's a start

No widgets, no services. If any of those are moved to SD card - they won't function in the best case, and they'll make all kinds of phone weirdness in the worst case.
Bump!
This happens to me too on my galaxy s2 stock rom using my 32gb sdcard which has no issues in itself.. and i never moved apps like widgets and live wallpapers, only games with big size like angry birds etc. i dont know what can be causing this, coz without moving those apps i cant install new ones, n if i move em i cant use my phone at all what should i do ?
Yeah, not all widgets work with the app on the SD card.

widgets live wallpapers and launchers aren't meant to be moved in the first place. but still i'm having issues and i dont understand why. and now that i've moved just a few apps to see what happens, this time it doesn't reboot but the media scanning starts late after the phone boots up.. and untill it actually starts scanning you cannot make a call or use the internet.. any ideas anyone! ?
