ok have my phone rooted, i had previously managed to install setInstallLocation, which helped me put most of the apps to sd card. However i belive with root, you can actually make more space to install apps, to the sd card, which includes partitioning memory card, can anyone please ponit me towards doing so, have searched, but cannot find the right solution please.
titanium backup, long press the app then you ill get a long lest of option, choose "move to sd" if available.
you can't move stock XP games (Sims, fifa..) but you can move the one you downloaded (alpha 6, backstabe) even though they don't support it, and it wont cause any problems with them.

Hi first post...new phone.....great product, I love it......to get to the point, I have down loaded a couple of simple apps from the in-house market place, the second one "i spy wifi" wouldnt complete because "quote" ...reqs newer version microsoftR.net compact framework, this wouldnt download because I dont have enough free space, even though there is a 4 gb micro card with loads of room.........how do i get things onto the card storage?.......can I put a 16gb card in place of the 4 ?
cheers
Yes you can use 16gb card, normally when you install an app, it give you the option to install on device memory or Storage Card. I install everything on the the Storage Card and I've got a rude amount of apps installed .
Hi, do watch the cache in the main storage - this can fill up.
And, when you install apps from the Market Place it seems these automatically go to main storage and there is no option to install to storage card.
I'm using a 16 gb card with no problems.
thanks for the reply, not noticed an option offered for phone/card storage...will look for it next time....cheers..........
Just to follow on from this can all cabs and apps be downloaded on the card rather than the device? For instance I have cabs for home page transparencies and max manila, text removal on home page etc. Also cab games, official hot fixes, clocks, market place apps as well. And these are ALL on t he device.
Are there certain apps or items that MUST go on the device or can everything go on the card?

Anyone?
Pretty much everything can go on the card.
but I cannot seem to move anything onto my card, am I missing something ?
Just use file explorer to move the cabs to your storage card. Once you have installed cab's you can do what you want with them, move or delete them. When installing them it will prompt to install on the device or storage card. Choose storage card.
I always install to the storage card but when you install using Market Place it doesn't give you the option it just installs to the device. Does anyone know if this can be changed or if the cab files is stored somewhere so that you can uninstall from device and install on the card??
As far as I know, isn't possible to choose a different location when installing from Marketplace. However, is possible to move the applications from the phone memory to the SD card. To do that you have to use this app. Although there are some applications that you must install in the phone memory.
Many thanks, I will give it a go. I already have SK Tools do you know if that has a similar feature as I've not quite got to grips with everything it can do?
For some reason everything I install uses the default phone memory instead of the SD.
For example when I try to install somethnig, it says free up some space and try again, when theres 12 gig free on the SD.
That's perfectly normal. If you want to change the default install location, look for "Move2SD Enabler" on the Market.
Also, lots of apps offer the ability to move existing apps to the SD, but I've only found 1 that actually does a good job of it, and it will move them all in 1 go. Get Titanium Backup for that.
Be aware though, not all apps will function from the SD card. If you move something there and then it doesn't work, simply move it back to the phone.
First post. I have A7 Dex mod 1.41. Should these apps (Apps2SD or ApptoSD) move the selected app to external sd card automatically? After uninstalling the selected app from internal stg. I have to manually cut/paste to external sd card and reinstall. It must be easier than that.
ooorah
Yeah I have been trying to figure that one out too. I am using the free version. When I go to the list of moveable apps I do not get the option of moving any of them. If I hit the settings button I do get the option to "move all," but none of them move. I really dont want to move all of them anyway, just my less used apps.
How do you move them from the internal memory to the SD card? I did check a few other forums but couldnt find much.
Thanks!
The current kernel from the official firmware and the custom ones like Dexter one don't support app2sd feature.

I have yet to root my KF, its only a day old and I'm still checking things out. I read through allot of the posts for development and I see some are using CM roms. My question that I can't seem to find is, has anyone tried apps to sd. I know allot of the phone roms, cm included had apps to sd. You could just move an app to the external storage, and I was wondering if there was anything like that for the KF. The application limit is my only real motivation at this point to root, however the re-partition thread is like a huge process with plenty of potential to brick your device. Aside from the android market, what is the benefit to rooting this thing? I rather like the stock launcher, but if rooting and putting a rom on it will give me more usability, I will move forward and root. Does anyone know of a solution for using all of the available space for storage, otherwise it seems like more trouble than its worth right now.
UPDATED:
Use Titanium Backup. It can do this even though the normal application tool doesn't.
After root, use the move function in titanium backup. Works for me.

After root, you can just move apps to SD by going to Settings, then to Applications, then to Manage Applications, then click on the app you want and select Move to SD card... it's that easy.
long press the app and window pops up with the move option.
make sure your'r sd card is r/w.
Noob question. If it truly is as easy as "move app to SD" on Titanium Backup (or Gemini App Manager) to move apps from Internal Storage to SD card storage, why do some folks bother with re-partitioning their SD card at all?
It may be that they didn't realize the apps were being placed on the sd. The only way I know to tell what is on the sd is to look at the output of the `mount`.
That's possible sure, but it doesn't really make sense.
check out eldarerathis' thread on the development forums. he's posted a very useful utility to repartioning your SD card. should help a lot of us out.

Yes, I also managed to move apps to SD by using Titanium Backup. (I had no problems with a batch job)
So after Rooting my phone, and trying several different times, I cannot figure out how to move apps to the SD card.
1) I ran ADB and ran the command "set-install-location 2" and verified that and that didn't work.
2) I Re- Partitioned the SD card, and had the Install Location set to 2, and it still didn't work.
3) Using Link2SD, I cannot move the apps, and Apps2SD it just redirects you to the App in the Setting menu, but the option doesn't show up.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong becuase this is annoying me and my sister who has even less Internal Memory then me.
I have the LG Optimus F7, not L7, but there isnt a forum for that. My sister has the Samsung Apex.
Thanks for any info.
if your phone is rooted then you can install titanium backup which can move apps from internal to external and vise versa,,it can do backups too,,
