Hi there,
I've been looking for a way to partition my SD card so that I can use app2sd and move all the apps to the SD, even those which don't support SD card. That said, I have a Galaxy Mini, Gingerbread 2.3.4, rooted. Is there a way to do it without flashing a custom rom on the device?
Thanks for any help
You could use Rom Manager: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en.

Can u help me pls. How can I install applications on my sd card? I've tried to install some game, but htc sync was always installing it on my phone memory and there is no place for it.
You need either Android 2.2 (cyanogen mod 6) or any other custom-ROM with Apps2SD-support. You will then have the ability to move your apps from internal rom to sd.
Hi all,
I just brought the LG Optimus One P500 this afternoon and thanks for great info in XD. I managed to rooted the device so smotthly
Question:
after rooting, now how can install/move my applications to my SD card instead of the internal memory.
Previosuly on Samsumg spica there is a tool call App2SD, any similiar tools for LG Optimus One P500
Thanks
Do you want to install directly to the sd card or just to move them after being installed on the internal memory?
You can move apps around using Settings->Applications since FroYo can do that for you but not all apps can be moved just yet. Other apps can move them forcefully (I use Titanium Backup to do that).
If you want to install to the sd card directly, look for an app called apps2sd. I found it on the market a few months ago and it opened like the Settings menu. It will just ask you where you want apps to go to when you install them. It was really simple. Widgets wont work from the sd card though. Move them to the internal memory and reboot after if you have them on the sd card already.
and make sure you have a fast card if you want to install directly to the sd card.
I just installed a custom rom (cyanogen) on my mini pro for the first time and would love if someone would explain how to set up app2sd.
I have previously used link2sd before flashed this rom so i don't know alot about the "official" app2sd set up.
My sd card was already partitioned to work with link2sd, however when i try to move apps to sd via the application settings menu, it says there is not enough memory on the sd partition (not true)...
Help would be appreciated!
ps. i really don't want to format my sd again 'cus i have a lot of music and stuff on it. i didn't need to delete them when i partitioned my card before
if u have your sd card partitioned with a big fat32 and a small ext. Partition and both are primary then cyanogen will do everything by itsself. the only thing you can do is make sure that your setting for where apps are installed that its on automatic
X10mini miniCM7 2.0 using XDA Premium App
hi i just bought a new SE x10 mini just a days ago. my concern was i want to download lots of apps but my phone memory is limited up to 128mb since i have 2gb sd card i wanted to save my apps to using my sd card. based on what i have read in some forums 2.1 firmware is not capable of saving the downloaded files to your sd card instead it uses your phone built in memory please help.
Thanks
App2SD (FAT partition) is available from Froyo (2.2) and higher, so you can actually use a Froyo ROM, those usually have more stuff working than the Ginberbread ROMs (ie: Camera). I recommend you to use MiniCM 1.0.1
You can also root your phone and use the Ext2/3/4 partition app2sd method, I believe there are some guides around here that can help you, one of the methods is to download Link2SD (free) from the market and create a Ext2 partition on your phone's SD Card, using Link2SD requires root.
So I am going to unlock my bootloader and flash a custom rom.
I was just wondering whether or not i need at external sd card present to flash and use a rom.
And also i know that in CM7, it switches the around the internal and external sd card.
If I were to flash CM7, would I mess up my phone if I flashed it w/out an external sd card?
So, in summary I have 2 questions:
1) Do I need an external sd card to flash and use a rom(other than CM7)?
2) Do I need an external sd card to flash and use CM7?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1) No
2) No
Just put the flashable.zip on the root of your /sdcard.
As soon as you flash the CM7 Rom and login to you Google Account... before you install any apps, go to Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Applications -> Use Internal Storage
THANKS!
OK Thanks!
