How about moving apps to SD....we have to wait for permission for each and every app to move it to the SD?
I am running out of space on the phone, but my SD has 7GB free.
the developer of the app has to specify if they want to use apps2sd for their app. (that's what i heard at least, to my knowledge)
do we need an ext partition
will this work without an ext partition
Use `adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2`, move all the apps you want to move. Use `adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0` to change it back unless you want apps to installed by default to the sd card.
Official apps2sd doesn't need an ext partition.

where do we go to type in that command?
is there a terminal like in ubuntu?
I use both Terminal Emulator and Better Terminal Emulator on Android Market
but both of them say "adb: permission denied"
I have not rooted my phone, is it only possible for a rooted Froyo?

Perhaps we need to install the Android USB driver on our PC first
and then install the Android Debug Bridge (ADB)using its shell UI to enter the command above - `adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2`

adb is part of the development kit. If you are using a native terminal, skip the "adb shell" part of the command.
I have selected the 'set installLocation 2'
However I am tryin to restore (with Titanium Backup) my 445 apps.
It got to 131 and will go no further.
Everything it has installed is on the SD and I have loads of space left.
I also have not seen the 'tick box' to install apps to SD?
It's never been an option since flashing Froyo unless I have to enable each app under market or something?
not
After putting the command in better terminal with out adb shell command it still says "permission denied"

Yes you need to be rooted, the correct course of action would be to start the terminal, type SU then pm setInstallLocation 2 then close term and reboot, same to put back the perm to 0,
make you you do not move more than 100 apps or so, there's a limit I heard somewhere..
copy .apk(s) to any folder in sdcard, mine "marketapp"
then type these following commands below:
=====================================
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/marketapp
for app in *.apk; do pm install -r $app; done
=====================================
this is the simplest way...

Nice tip, thank you for this one!
the way i do it is via AppBrain
just click on Installapps, then all the all aps in your apps brain account will get installed back to the phone
it was very helpful the other day i had to format the phone because of a bug in Launcher Pro
I need to know the internal storage of transformer. I'm planning to buy one. Can anyone with UNROOT transformer post the screenshot(or just the info) of "adb shell df" and "adb shell mount"?
thanks
AndroidPolice has the downloads and instructions for a new method of rooting. Just tested it, it *does* in fact work.
You will need ADB access (which, if you've rooted before, you probably already have).
I can confirm this works.
Is there any reason to do this if we are still rooted and have the secured rooted ROM installed? Should I wait until/if Amazon pushes the updated on top of my rooted 6.2.1?
Noob questions: Assume that the app goes on the KF of course. Where do the Superuser files get placed? Already have Superuser on the KF from previous root so can I skip this step?
Thanks!

I am not sure if we are talking about the same thing but I think they are included in the Kindle Fire Utility.

run install_drivers.bat from Kindle Fire Utility 0.6
Nice. Just regain root for 6.2.1.
did that , nothing
Not working here. Noticed that when I hit Root on the new app on the KF, I get this info which was not in the directions. Anyone else? Should these steps be done and in what sequence combined with the published instructions?
Final Steps
On your computer run the following commands:
adb kill-server
adb root
adb shell
Enjoy.

only one not in the instructiosn was adb kill-server and its not really needed.
adb root <-- what you likely missed
Root was made (I guess...).
But I still can't install the market. Because I can't mount system to R/W (with root manager or kindle utility).
Is it normal? :/

root explorer mounts the system in r/w just fine.
this root works as advertised
ota rootkeeper still works for a temp unroot to watch amazon video.
as far as i can tell everything is the same except we're using superuser app so you have to allow each app permission, it's the only real change i can see

Thanks for the suggestion re: OTA Rootkeeper! Rooted earlier today, but had trouble unrooting to watch videos, and now that's solved!
I haven't got my fire yet but these instructions don't seem very clear; do I have to keep the tablet connected to the PC at all times? Or do I execute the sudo app on the tablet, and then connect it to the PC so I can run the adb commands?

I meant root explorer (I wrote root manager indeed).
If I click on the "mount R/W" button, it doesn't do anything. :/
EDIT: Done. I had to push vending.apk by adb... dunno why.

Working now! Figured out that when installing the script in ADB from the directions, I was not leaving a space before each instance of "/system". Duh. Got Market working again as well. Thanks Developers!

You need to finish the job with these steps (taken from the androidpolice post):
Code:
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb install com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk
adb reboot
Help! I'm stuck at this step:
adb install com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk
The prompt says it can't find the file. What am I missing?
Thanks!

I think I figure it out. The Fire is rooted again. I just need to fiddle with OTA Rootkeeper to be able to watch video streaming again.
Thank you for this thread.
I can run all the steps i just gotta be able to remove the original superuser app that i had before this one. Can someone please tell me how to go about this.
Is there a setting in missing...? and if not what is the best option you found that doesn't create complications to the system. I am rooted and using xposed.

There's a command you can issue in Terminal to do that.
adb shell pm set-install-location 2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To verify that it worked, run:
adb shell pm get-install-location
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If it comes back as "2", apps will install to the SD card by default. This will also enable more apps that have "move to SD card" grayed out to being selectable under App Info.
Do do what I did though, and move just about every app to SD. Most of them kept losing their settings and SU access after a reboot. And speaking of reboot, all of your apps moved to SD will have gray colored icons for a minute or so.
To get back to the default setting, move your apps back to the phone and run:
adb shell pm set-install-location 0
Click to expand...

Hope this helps.
So even if we have apps installed to internal and we use this command does this automatically move every app to sd card or just that's we install after using this adb command? And are there any Superuser issues doing this?? Or is everything stable this way?

Did you get this to work on your device? Which file format did you do on your second drive?
Thanks for your assistance!
Do we need root for this? (The adb commands). I know link2sd is root. Lol
I'm not using it no need but I think fat32 or ext4 is OK.

You probably need to type this command:
adb root pm set-install-location 2
not
db shell pm set-install-location 2
