How do I move my apps from the SD card BACK to the phone's memory?

So I've never done App2SD stuff before.
1. Is it "permanent?" Can I move it back to my phone if I want to?
2. If I upgrade to a larger card (32GB in the future), can I just copy the app files over to the new card after it is partitioned? Or do I need to do another type of backup somehow, like Titanium?
EDIT: 3. If I flash a new ROM- will it know that my apps are on the sd card?
tia for any answers.

[Q] NO external SD

Hey at all,
i installed CM7RC at the weekend on my SGS.
So, after some hours of checking and configuring the OS and i´m enthused.
But i have found one problem.
When i insert my external SD card the system don´t response of it.
In "settings -> memory (its my translation - i don´t now the used english words) i can find the internal memory, sd card and additional or external sd card.
the internal has 1.87GB, the sd 5,78GB.
When i have insert the external sd card the systems write not available and plz insert sd card .... .
Do anyone know this problem? I tried a 16GB and 8GB sd card. both are full functionally under the original OS.
at experts: can anyone tell me the device which will be mount?
so i thought about a manually mount to test or to use until a fix is available.
thx.

If you flashed CM7 from gingerbread then your external sd wont work... that is a known problem.
If you flashed from froyo then your external sd card will be in mnt/emmc

I guess you have gingerbread bootloaders on you phone. Revert to stock froyo rom,and then install CM7 nightly from there,im sure it will solve the problem.

I found the Prob. It was the bootloader. After flashing the froyo bootloader i Gott full access
to my edternal sd card.

[Q] Running CM7 off SD Card, Apps say no SD Card inserted when trying to save data?

So I'm running CM7 off of a micro-sd card on my nook and it's going swimmingly. But, sometimes when an app wants to save something to the SD card (like Dolphin browser's gestures for example) it says that I don't have an SD card inserted. I'm guessing this has something to do with the fact that I'm running the OS off the card, but there must be a simple way to fix this, right?

[Q] Apps on my internal SD card disapeared when i put in external sd card

Hi
I'm using Go launcher EX. I bought a 16GB micro sdhc card for my huawei titan u8800. When i put it in suddenly over half of my apps disapeared from the app list and in my homescreens they only showed the green loading icon. When i try to click on them on the home screen it says that the application is not installed. I think it was the apps that i had moved to the internal storage that disapeared. In the memory info it still says that the internal memory card is almost used up so it doesnt seem to have been deleted. After i took out the card and rebooted they came back after about 10 minutes. Is it any way to get the apps back while i have the sd card in?

which rom are you using? Stock 2.2.2, cm7, miui?

I am using android 2.2.1 that came with the phone.

So, you din't have an external sd card and used the internal sd to install some apps there?
When put the external sd card, the system start to use this card instead of the internal, and the apps which are installed on internal sd card are no longer be installed.
Therefore, you need to copy them from internal sd to external sd.
You need to copy the folders .android_secure and Android(if exists), and also Data(if exists too) from HWUserData folder to external sd' s root directory.
I think this will solve your problem. If this works, you can after delete these folders from internal sd.

It worked! Thank you very much! Glad i didnt have to reinstall all my applications again....
