So I'm running a rom with app2sd built in, but i can't figure out how to disable it. With a US HD2, there is so much internal storage room, I don't see any advantage to putting apps on the sd card, and some apps don't work from the sd card.
Is there an easier way than going into manage apps, and individually choosing move to phone for each app?
If you have SpareParts installed on your rom, go to App2sd option and set location to Internal and see if that solves it.
I have spare parts, but it doesn't mention app2sd
Have you got an Ext2 partition on sd card? If not, app2sd+ doesn't work for you.
At least that's what I think is the case here..
Else, is there an app called app2sd? Change settings in that app.
Maybe download an app from the market to change the settings.

That worked perfectly, I almost didn't try it, since it was installed with the rom and the rom is brand new (latest typhoon cm7)

I just install Haykuro's hero with rosie. Now I'm wondering how you do AppstoSd would you be able to use this method http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Haykuro_Apps_to_SD or is there something else you have to do.
I used appstosd app by marcus and it work for me. Takes 2 seconds very simple. Just make sure you reboot after useing the app.
Thank you. I used that and it works perfectly.
i had initially used that prog but didnt find it as effective
do the speedup 2.0 thing there is a way and now i'm on 88 mb free.
Im trying out the apps2sd right now, to see if it works with Hero with no issues.
apps to sd
does apps to sd 2 or apps to sd 1st app work on the hero build???
does anyone know or do we need to do it the way Haykuro explains it on his site?
apps to sd
I used the apps to sd app by Marcus and it worked>>>
The old app works not the new one why I do not know.

Thats because all the hero roms only have the ability to use symlinks while apps to sd 2 uses the unionfs method.
i tried appstosd a few minutes ago, it copied all my apps to the SD card it left me with 83MB Free! but now when i install an app the 83MB are bein use :]

Is there anyway I can do it without using ADB?
I followed Haykuro's procedure for apps2sd, followed every direction to a t, but now i'm having a boot loop. Any ideas? I'm running 6.0r1 prepping for Hero.
Hi there,
I'm having trouble with the "Partition SD Card" function in the Rom Manager application. It goes through recovery and does everything successfully, but after I install an application it installs to the phone. I checked in the "Settings>SD and Phone Storage" which showed a smaller amount of memory after having installed the application. I installed the application "Apps to SDcard", and when I run it, it tells me "Error, either an incorrect ROM is installed or your SD card is not formatted correctly". I don't know what I did wrong, I have my SD card formatted at FAT32, and my ROM is the NeonMod Rom. I will have a link to it after. I tried the Apps to SDcard app after using the Rom Manager to partition my SD card at, 256MB Ext size, and 32MB swap size. I have a 2GB card, and it's the one that came with my phone (Sandisk) if that helps. Thanks for the help guys.
Here's the link to the ROM I currently have and its description:

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I'm new to this forum. Thanks.
It might not be a fast enough card for a2sd to work.

Nope, the problem is you are running an Eclair ROM and the app is not "ext" type of A2SD - it just uses the Froyo A2SD, which uses FAT32 partition to move apps to.
If you install Froyo, this app will work, else install a ROM with A2SD that uses ext partition, it's much better
Thanks, I found a Rom that supports A2SD and uses ext partition, and it works. Just a question though, I used Apps to SDCard to move the apps to the card, but now can't find them. Where can I find them now? LOL. Thanks so much for the help I really appreciate it, this is the current Rom I got that supports A2SD just in case anybody wants:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834121
Not sure about this one, but why don't you use Froyo ROM?
Well if it's better then I will, I don't know much about Froyo but can you please give me a Froyo Rom if it's better? Android 2.1 version though. Thanks.

It depends... Do you like sense? You can find a list of roms in stickies in Development!
Start there, but the list is not very recent. I'm currently running BlaY0's Rom, try that one if you like sense ;-) CM6.1 is an obvious choice if you don't...
Good luck!
and btw: Froyo is faster and alltogether better
Okay thanks I'll give it a try. And yes I like Sense a lot. Thanks again!

You cannot have Froyo AND Android 2.1 at the same time
Android 2.1 = Eclair
Android 2.2 = Froyo
Android 2.3 = Gingerbread
P.S. Move to Froyo
First of i have the latest HyperDroid-CM7
I have also done this guide. How to format your SD card
But even so i STILL cant get my apps to work when they are installed on the SD card. Had the same problem on the former ROM i had. I dont know whats wrong. If i move the app to the phone it works just fine.
PS. have installed app2sd (dont know wich one just googled one)
some apps just have this problem those apps (like angry birds) just only work when installed on phone memory

when you are using an ext partition, you dont choose to install to sd card, or use app manager to move them to sd card, , . Just leave them set to internal memory, and the OS will put them in the ext partition.

Your rom already has app2sd+ built in, (i think most do now, , note the +,, app2sd and app2sd+, not really sure of the difference, except the built in ones are +) you dont need to install it. It mentions app2sd+ in your roms second post, look out for that when you pick a rom, and you know it will automagically use the ext partition. No user input required.
If i move the app to the phone it works just fine.

do that, move an app back to the phone, then use a filemanager to browse to the sd-ext folder, you will see the app is there, , on the sd card, in the ext partition, even though the system says it is installed internally.
Thank you all for the awsome replies i will stick to it as it is..
God i love this phone....
Edit. And this site (users)
Ok I've got a stupid question but havent stumbled across the answer yet... HTC Aria, I've found plenty of info that says you can move apps over to the sd card to free up phone memory but I cant find the option to do this. I've gone through the settings menu, gone to the apps, but there is no button to 'move to sd'. Do I need to upgrade this phone to 2.2 in order to do this?
Personally I'm using the Samsung Captivate loaded with 2.2 and have no problems moving apps over to the card. Even apps that are 'apps2sd' enabled dont have the option to move on the Aria, apps that I was able to move around on my Captivate dont show the option on the htc.
Rooting and custom roms are not an issue for the user, they just keep getting 'out of memory' messages and asked me to fix the phone. The only downside to loading the official 2.2 update is the fact that all data is lost but I do have some spare time to reload everything - I just dont want to waste my time downloading and running the update if it still wont let me move apps over to the sd card. Thanks for the help
Android's built-in support for moving some applications to the SD card (apps2sd) requires Froyo (2.2), so that is why you aren't seeing the option. It is supported in the official 2.2 update for the Aria.
Those of us here don't like to recommend updating to the official 2.2 release because it makes it impossible to root your phone or install custom ROMs at a later point in time. There are a few custom ROMs available on this forum that can give you 2.2 Sense on the phone with things like sideloading and free tethering enabled, and most of the AT&T preloaded apps removed. However if you're OK with AT&T's limitations and don't have a problem not being able to use custom ROMs, then that's your prerogative.

not with the built in a2sd. but if you create an ext2 or ext3 partition on your sd card you can use the s2e app from the market to move apps to the sd card and still use your widgets.

Just to clarify (and potentially save someone some trouble), S2E only works with ext3, not ext2.
Also S2E only works with CM7, don't try it with any other ROMs!
It seems that any Nand Android ROM that I flash will not allow me to dl from the market. The market is accessible as I can search for an app but I alwyas get Downloas was unsuccesful. Any ideas because I have no problem when flashing WP7. Am I stuck with 7 for now?
Have you tried to unmount the sd card then download an app?

That did something. Does that do something to the Card? When I first flashed, Google Backup dl a lot of apps. They all seem to be gone but are back in the markert. I am very thankful.
No it doesn't really do anything to the card. The card just interferes somehow with the market. But strangely, that problem should be gone in these builds. Are you using an old build? (say a build form january) Or an up to date build?
You mean the google backup downloaded back all your apps and installed them, but now when you go to my apps, they are not there?
Or do you mean when you search for an app, it doesn't show up?
If it is the first, i'm not sure.
If it is the latter, you can try market enabler and set it to t-mo/verizon, but doubt that'd help since I see that you live in america already.

It was the ROM in my sig. I do have the original SD Card that came with my HD2. That was the fix though. Thanks again.
