Ok so I think Google maps is awesome! But, it's a hog. It takes up 15MB of memory on my phones internal memory. Is there anyway to move it to the SD card and have it still work properly? Yes, I used the search. Found some links on how to move it if your on WinMo. But, found no resuts for Android. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.
If it's installed as a system app you can't move it to SD by default. If it's installed on the data partition then you can move it to SD like most other apps. I believe you can just remove it with Titanium or something similar and then download it from the Market so it installs in Data.

just out of curiosity, are you running low on storage?
EVO Shift and XDA app
No, not running low. It's just that I've noticed the size oof the file is huge. After this last update it went up over 4MB. Since their going to keep updating it I want to put it on my SD card. That way I'm not so concerned about the file size.

Tried uninstall with Titanium Backup, didn't work. All it did was say it uninstalled. But it actually didn't fully unistall. Just made it unuseable. Glad I thought about it and did a backup first. Well it was worth a shot . I'm still not convinced it can't be moved.
That same thing happened to me, I uninstalled it and it was still there. I rebooted. It was gone. DL from market and I was able to move it to SD.

I think the issue with me not being able to move it has to be, because I'm on the Stock Sence Rom.

Yeah, maybe I over looked that haha. I couldn't find a way to move it on the stock rom either. But, I moved on to 2.3.

Going to switch to a custom rom. Too many limits on stock rom. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

Try moving the app to the phone if its on the SD card.
I haven't moved any app s to sd card as I don't think theres any need as I have sd ext partition of 1gb. And the rom uses this automatically.

Well, some apps should be on phone, even if you've got SD-Ext. If it doesn't work, you're outta luck.
here's the thing.
sometimes the app installs to SD, even if you didn't tell it to, so check the app anyways and if it says "SD" move it to phone.
If it says "phone" and still FC, then move it to SD, then move it back to phone and try again, you should be good.
don't ask me why but it works.
Hi
I tried this..moved to sd then back to phone... But did not solve issue

I just finished a new app that is about 32mb. I have 70mb of free space on my phone, but when I try to install the apk it says "not even space, could not install, please free up some space and try again." Even though the app is quite large, 70mb of space should be more than enough. Does anyone know why it won't install? Are apk's not allowed to be >30mb or something? This is the biggest app I've made so far so I haven't had to deal with this issue before, all of my other apps were less than 10mb.
It should have worked.
Here are the limits as I know it:
1. Android market allows a maximum of 50MB per apk.
2. Installing to SD card is also limited but I don't know the actual limit.
3. Installing to internal memory is limited to 50% of free memory.
Try adding android:installLocation="preferExternal" to your manifest file.
Disclaimer: things might have changed since the last time I checked, so I might be wrong.

I would prefer: android:installLocation="auto" so one can choose where to install the app and you can do different tests. Anyway may attention: this could be used only for api level >8 (it seems it could be used even for OS <2.2 but I've not tested for it).
Hmm I'll try that. I might look into getting a new phone as well because this Desire is starting to feel outdated. Internal memory is so small that I have to uninstall an app almost every time I want to install a new one.

What's the difference between apps2sd and just going into the default Android settings and transferring the apps to the sd?
The problem I have is most of the huge apps don't let you transfer them.

if I remember correctly, apps2sd allows you to move the entire /data folder to your SD card (/data is what takes up your internal memory)
just search "desire apps2sd" and I'm sure youll find something

I've had the same problem after installing an app called App2SD / Pro version, after that i realized that apps that i moved to external SD have begun to disappear randomly from my screen, i can always go back and put them back on the screen but it's just annoying.
I have the same problem, Apps installed on SD and reboot, gone from the homescreen. I didn't look further into that cause I read somewhere that this is a bug only on the Vibrant through the Samsung TouchWiz...
I think I'm going to unninstall that darn app lol.

Im getting constant messages now saying I dont have enough space. I've moved everything I can to sd and cleared the cache. Programs like groupon are big but wont let me though, grrr.
Noticed email takes up a lot too, anyway of limiting what is stored?
Deinstall some apps...
Thats not a tip its common sense... What if u didn't want to get rid of the apps... *rolls eyes

Then root. It's not like you need a Computing PhD for that.
Sorry chris,
The only way to make apps that don't want to be on the SD play nice, is root. And, the only way to remove apps you don't use that are sitting in /system...is root.
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
Well actually no root required using adb you can set install location from 0 which is system auto to 2 which allows all downloaded apps to be moved to sd card

That's good for apps installed after that command. System apps and previously installed apps are untouched, and they're the largest issue.
Can u not save all emails to sd or limit how much is stored

Just root your phone. Whatever reason you have for not doing so yet is based on misinformation. Download superoneclick and go to it.

Have you tried pushing some of your existing apps to your SD card to free up the internal memory?

Yeah, this. You can go to "applications" in your settings and get it to sort them by size, then selectively push big ones to your SD card. Much better than randomly choosing which ones to move over.
