[TOOL] Enable APP2SD on Froyo 2.2 devices without the need for root permissions

Hi guy, we're the Androidblog.it staff, and we created a useful tool that allows you to to move your apps to your SDcard.
This tool does not require ROOT permissions, but need Android Froyo 2.2.
You only have to install the USB drivers (adb), enable debug mode, and connect your phone to PC...EASY!
This tool will show you two options:
1- Apply App2SD - Patch (Applica App2SD – Patch)
2- Restore defaults (Ripristina impostazioni di default)
"Now available also the English Version!"
To apply the patch you only need to select the first option, the second if you want to remove it.
TOO EASY!
Thanks to KuroAndroid and to Murder for the betatesting, and to Ivan Boscacci for the inspiration.
YOU CAN FIND THE LINK FOR DOWNLOAD THE TOOL HERE IN THE ORIGINAL POST.
I hope you'll enjoy it!
Recall that the Tools created by Andrew (AndroidBlog.it STAFF) is owned by AndroidBlog.it ...if you want to use it on your blog we would appreciate if you will quote the link to our site. Thanks

nope, this will help you to force installing every app on sd and to move every installed app to sd but no widget!

is there any risk to the apps that get moved from the phone to the SD card?

I can't download without registering, and how am i suppossed to register on a site thats in italian?

Scroll down the page and locate any post with the button "Fare il login per replicare". Click on this and you should be able to login and then download the app.

this is really nice... so far with N1.
Thanks guys!

Sorry but I can't see how to register. I've tried loging in with my twitter account but I cannot get the file. Any clue or alternative?

I have used this and it does work, however programmes that came on your phones stock rom (i am using orange 2.2 froyo) you cannot move to the sd card, for example google maps and facebook. Also i tried downloading adobe air earlier and this is 10+mb's and although it said it was on the sd card it wasn't. Could this be because it is a sytem app or is there another reason?
Cheers

how this work?

Nice work pal! works on my HTC Desire running 2.2 Froyo. Non-rooted. Quick question, how the hell does it work? does it trick it into thinking its possible to move the app to SD card?

The only ones I havent been able to move it with are the system applications, or the ones that came standard on the phone, but all the ones I have downloaded from the Market, all of them are movable now, I have about 30-40 apps/games installed.

Sprint apk's

I hate to ask this, but a while back I saw a thread with download links for sprint apps. Somehow when I went to nebula (awesome rom) titanium wouldn't restore sprint apps. Every search I try won't bring this thread up and I'm sure someone knows where it is. Please advise
Thanks!

If you need one that's EXT4-compatible, ptfdmedic has it on his blog. It's in the list on the left-hand side.

There's a download link for Sprint apps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907308
First post, halfway down. Not sure if they are apk or a zip etc though.

Ah, maybe that's why Titanium couldn't restore them. Didn't consider the partition compatibility.
Thanks!

Any apk will work on an ext4 partition,it the update.zip that needs to be compatible if your using cwm3. So titanium should work even if you backed it up on an rfs system,Im pretty sure of this.

OK, that's good to know. I just download the EXT4 version even though it may not be different at all. The three I installed worked fine either way.

[Q] How to install Gmail in in R2.1 ?

Today I went back to 2.1 (data2system LiteXtreme mod for Soft-mod 2.1 20E Final) as my battery was draining rapidly in 2.3.x. Everything looks fine except that there is no Gmail app in this ROM. Market also does not show it. Can somebody point me to Gmail apk.

That was the first thing I did even before posting this question. It does not show up in market place. That is the reason I started looking for apk to install. The first few that I found were all meant for froyo and gingerbread. They don't install correctly on eclair complaining about package parsing error. Then I posted this question hoping someone knows how to do it.

Hi, if you can't post in the proper thread about this version please pm me... here is what you need :
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21630798/Apps/Gmail%20for%20Eclair%202.1.rar
Install both as any other app, DO NOT PUSH TO WHERE SYSTEM APPLICATIONS ARE
Easier way is just drop the .apk's to your sdcard or dropbox and install from there as normal.
As i explained i had to remove many apps and files to make data partition fit in system partition, but if you need a stock app do not doubt in ask me.

If you already downloaded it on your g2, the apk file should be in data/app
You need a Root explorer like 'ES File Explorer' for it to acces the map.
Or isnt that your question?

As XDA Forum Rules specifially state "Don't get us in trouble.", please refrain from posting such that would violate any Terms of Service. Link removed.
Also let me remind you that XDA does not promote the use of Warez so if it is the intent of the OP to reproduce paid APK's by asking this info, you may want to go elsewhere.
Thank you.

My apologies TRM. I was at work when I saw that and didn't get to read up on it. Thank you for removing the link.

Exactly why I didn't realy want to use it.
I got es file explorer and went into /system/app directory but it only shows the stock apks. It doesn't show the downloaded apks from the market... all the settings are enabled for root visibility... what am I doing wrong?
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk

Afaik I don't think you can just grab them. There are means of obtaining the apk files which I won't talk about, and don't PM me about it. Now, if you want those said apks for backup purposes, just install titanium backup.
Sent from my ghdudsjihfr using dhhcdfhuf.

I use a certain app from market that allows you to pull the APK of an already installed app so you can sideload on another device. My particluar use is taking apps that aren't available for my tablet from my phone and transfering it over (Tiny Tower, Contacts, etc...)

[23AUG] "Hacked" Play Store 3.8.17.4 (Wishlist, delta "smart" updates, gift cards)

[23AUG] "Hacked" Play Store 3.8.17.4 (Wishlist, delta "smart" updates, gift cards)
Hey guys,
I was looking for this yesterday and I found nothing, so I decided to "hack" the Play Store apk myself.
It's just 3.8.17 Play Store with Wishlist and (US only for now) gift cards activated.
How to install (or update)
1. Make a nandroid or backup Play Store by Titanium
2. Go to Settings » Apps » All » Google Play Store, tap "Uninstall updates" (if active) and confirm
3. Download my APK, place it on /sdcard and rename to Phonesky.apk
4. In Root Explorer (or any other file explorer that uses root permissions, but don't use ES File Explorer) go to /system/app and remove Phonesky.apk
---4.1. If you see any com.android.vending-*.apk file in this directory, remove it too
5. Copy Phonesky.apk from /sdcard to /system/app
6. Reboot

Can I ask if this is dpi hacked? As in for those who have a dpi of 162 like me it will fix the market incompatibility error?
If not how can I hack it to force the market to use a set dpi? Instead of reading my build.prop?

Nope. It lets you download apps unavailable in your country (they aren't shown in search results!) or for your device. It also lets you access and manage your Wishlist and gift cards.

Is that possible to free download to payable apps, can u do it?

It's impossible and illegal. Do not even ask for it.

Nice work webDeWo. Imma download this now. Funny how you hack a app that is free but not yet available now people want you to start getting apps for free. smh.

Hi, and thanks for sharing your work.
I have one question though : if I install an app while on the play store website on the PC, it will still download it to my phone with this hacked store ?
I'm sorry if I don't make any sense, English isn't my native language.

He's talking about going to play. Google. Com and installing an app from there. But Google services framework is what handles that (if I'm not mistaken)
