I have installed Dexter Mod 1.41. I can see that my sd card mounts but how do I move apps to the sd card folder. i can move them to sdcard-disk0, but not to the sdcard-disk. I can copy them, but they stay on my internal memory.
Thanks,
Scott

You don't.
Covered many times.
The /sdcard/ path does not map to the actual SD card so trying to store apps on SD does not work.

I took him out of my sig in an attempt to be nice. Today just seems like a day that he wants to come back out though
Today has already brought "when will we get multi touch", "can't move apps to SD card" ... I think all thats left is "I bought an A7 and my wife left me, will installing DexterMod fix this?"
Which version will save my marriage? 1.3 or 1.4.x? Or FW?????
For a laugh, read my post on the OT thread.

Hi Guys, just bought meself a new 16gb micro sd card.
How can I transfer or make an image of the old card to the new one? I have many installed applications on my old card, I don't want to go through the daunting process of having to reinstall every single application.
Any help would be appreciated.
Copy the contents of the old card to your computer, then write them back to the new card.
Everything should work just the way it did before.
as above, just copy everything to the new card, , , just make sure you have hidden and system files visible before you copy/paste them.

Although you can transfer an image from one card to another its really not recommended for the stable running of the device especially after a ROM flash.

Moving your stuff from one card to another has absolutely no influence on how the device runs. Unless the new card is defective, of course
Thanks guys, am abroad at the moment. The moment I get home, I'll try as you suggested.
Thanks again

That's just wrong!
You may get away with it but all settings and associations will be for the previous ROM and could be totally inappropriate!
WTF, we are on about moving stuff from one card to another.
Nothing to do with ROMs!
Your storage card is only for storage - ie it does not matter if you copy your files from (lets say) a smaller SD to a bigger one.
possible complications: having programs installed on the sd card.... here you could get error messages when you take the card out for the copy process. Nevermind them though as you take the card out, do your copying and then shove the new card back in....
after that just do a safety reboot and you should be fine

Then you obviously didn't read what the thread was about.. The guy just has a new card and wants to copy the contents of the old one to it. Nothing about ROMs, settings etc...
Put my old card into the comp, copied everything, pasted into a folder on the desktop then dropped it all onto my new card, put it back in the phone, turned it on and everything works fine

The OP mentioned installed apps on a mem card and excuse me but that DOES have something to do with ROMs.
Now you are wrong!
And before this goes any further you all believe what you want and do what you want because there's none so blind as those who will not see.
I shall not be posting further after those sort of comments, hollinshea!

No! A storage card is just that, a disk with a filesystem and files on it. If you copy the same files onto another card, there's no way the system can even see anything has changed, apps or no apps. It's not about deleting/adding stuff, just having exactly the same data.
We don't "believe" anything - it's just how it is.

+1 on this.
As the title suggests, the full version of this game was finally released today. BEWARE, THE SITE KEEPS CRASHING DUE TO THE NUMBER OF HITS:
http://www.getjar.com/
but there are different versions for different android phones and I still haven't found the right one! The fact that the site keeps crashing due the volume of people trying to get the game means that I have only been able to download 2 versions, the desire version and the desire z. I don't even know if there is a version that will work for us yet but, if anyone has the right apk for the HD2 then please post it here.
Thanks

+1 I also have the same problem. I have a stock nexus one rom by tytung, and I cant get this game to work. Any solutions?
It is also in the market. I am downloading it now.
my question might be a bit off topic (don't want to create another thread), sorry about that, i have read in several threads that i need to unmount and then mount my sd card to install angry birds. just wanted to know how that unmounting/mounting procedure will affect the files in my sd card. basically, is there a possibility to loose all the data/files in the sd card? cheers
Yep,
They've released it in the market now so all is good.

I haven't had any problems with mounting/remounting my card. That's not to say that it's impossible to encounter some data corruption but I think you should be fine.

you also have to do this for some apps like Google Sky Map and Gameboid, it never effects the files on your SD card.

as far as I know its not actually unmounting the card, obv we're running android from the card so therefore all sorts of problems would occur no??
I think it just pretends to unmount the card......
not entirely sure though....
Either way, Ive never had any issues.
Also unmounting drastically improves the speed of marketplace downloads......
Not been able to install this bloody game though........... about to try unmounting.
Ive been told it can be installed via ADB, however this involves dl'ing the entire android SDK....... all for a 12meg game about bloody birds........
anyway..... lol
Is there any website to download this game and then install it? I download it fine but installation is unsuccessful ...

Method 1: Go to settings and unmount your SD card. Then open the Market and Download and Install Angry Birds, this will be succesfull and afterwards you can mount your SD Card again.
Method 2: Download Angry Birds (http://www.mediafire.com/?6e1yfy5yg6912nk) and copy it to your SD Card. Next, move the file from the SD Card to internal memory with ASTRO or any file manager. You can place it in the 'cache' folder or something like that. Then unmount your SD card, go to the folder and install the .apk. After the installation is complete, you can mount your SD card again
P.S. Unmounting your SD card will not shut down your Android or make you lose any settings/features. You can safely mount and unmount the SD Card

It'd be nice to get SD Card to unmount on my hd2 with mccm 1.5 build :/ ...
It says unmounting in progress and that's about it - never unmounts it and if I exit and come back to settings - shows option available to unmount - so no angry birds for me
I am getting unsuccessful installation.
Searched the forum and found this answer

But it cant apply to us since we CANT UNMOUNT SD CARD since Android is on it.
So what are you guys doing to make it work?
you still can un mount your card with android running.

Or use the new Hastarin kernel 8.2
When Android boots up, it puts Android into the RAM rather than run off the flash card. Unmount the SD card after boot, install the app, then re-mount it. Then all is fine!

USB Mass Storage mode CANNOT work - the phone runs Android off of the SD, hence the SD needs to be mounted for Android to work. Just in WinMo when the SD is unmounted from WinMo when you plug it in, the exact same thing would happen in Android - and then Android wouldn't be able to function... make sense?
You can use ADB with USB, but that is it. It's useful for debugging...

just install kernel 8.2 ( put sd card in pc , copy zimage and folder called root in to your android folder )
Thanks everyone
Try changing the Android ROM,,,, I'm using the Mdeejay_FroYo_Sense_v._2.3_Clean its the best one so far.... no prblm no lagging,,, its working great!!
there are tons of apps on my SD card from installs that still sitting there... dont really want to go through the whole card to find it and delete..
so i used clockwork to format the SD card... i noticed the it doesn replace back the stock files that came shipped with the phone..
was this a bad idea?

eh. it depends on your way of looking at it. The only thing on their you may need is the driver for the phone. but that can be downloaded via HTC's WebSite.
Hi all,
I successfully rooted my MOJO, but I still don't know how to move games to the SD card. I tried a few apps to achieve this, but none of them seems to work. What am I doing wrong? I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance!
Are the apps giving you any message? App2SD will say something like "The device does not have real primary external storage, or the Primary external storage is emulated. Moving app to SD function may not be supported by this device"

Are you sure your SD card is being read by the MOJO?
Format SD Card to FAT format.
Insert Card.
Go to settings, storage, mount sd card.

Yes, my SD card is mounted, I can access it by using a file explorer. However I am not able to move games.
@ExtremeRyno Yes, this is exactly what App2SD is saying. Thanks for the link, did you try it out? I don't think this is going to work on the mojo, since it is not possible to connect a USB cable and using ADB. Or am I wrong?
Is nobody here who successfully moved games to SD card? We have root now, so it should be easy, or not?
You can ADB in via network. Get the IP of the mojo from settings->status, then it's just "adb connect ipaddr" so you can try out the link instructions.
Root doesn't always equate to a completely open system. Some devices just don't work with moving apps to an SD card. My A700 doesn't allow it, and I'm rooted, but my NookColor does allow it. I've yet to get my cable delivered, so I can't attest to anything as of yet.
Maybe someone with MadCatz can give an explanation? I know it's an extremely important feature for a gaming console to have enough storage to handle more than ten or so big games at a time.

Found a new app today that seems to get around the problems the other apps have: FolderMount. It's free. I plan to try it out as soon as I root...Probably in the next couple days. If you get a chance before me, let us know how it works.

Also, I'm aware of the double post, but they're days apart and this needed a bump (for great justice, right?)

Tanks for the tip! I just tried out this app, but unfortunatly it doesn't work. Maybe it works for smaller games, because I was able to move the data to the SD card with it. But if you move big games with OBB data and then start the game, it doesn't find anymore its OBB data and downloads it again.
Also, you can't move back the data from the SD card. I just tried it out with NOVA 3 and I have to redownload the whole game now
It works now, yeehaaa :good:
For some reason, the MOJO needs to be rebooted after moving the OBB data to SD card
Summary:
1. Root the MOJO
2. Format your SD card as a primary partition using fat32
3. Install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount
4. Move OBB data of your games
5. reboot
Remark: If you want to move more than 2 apps/games, you will have to buy the pro version of this app.
Awesome! I tried it out on my tablet last night and moved around a couple games....But never more than two at a time. I had no idea that was actually a limitation, either..Just worked out that way. I'll have to buy the full version as soon as I root.
Excellent news.

I tried that folder mount and did move the folders,but the internal storage indicates the same as before and the obb data remains in the internal storage as apposed to moving completely to the external.Meaning i don't know why but it doesn't work?I too have rooted my m.o.j.o so it's not because of that either.

Okay try again but on a fresh start (on/off).
Maybe you had a process running in the back?
And remember to reboot it after moving.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748087 this works though just been clarified for games being moved.
Unless I am mistaken apps2sd and gl to sd, don't move the data file making them useless in the real world. and I've not looked into it for about 6 months or so, so something might have changed but filemount doesn't work correctly on android 4.2.2 and onwards.
And unfortunately its the same for directory bind (undoubtedly the best mount/binder ever on android) simply amazing application but again it don't like 4.2.2
Not tried directory bind on the mojo cause unless some things changed with it the last few months its not going to work. Also I don't fancy doing anything to the mojo until a Recovery's available and that ain't happening unfortuinately
