Hello.
How to get apps to sd card on rooted htc hero, and the orginal ROM. Please help me.
PS. Sorry for my poor english.
The Friendly User Manual says you cannot do it.
Unless you have some religious concern against it, move to MoDaCo ROM.
if you have rooted the phone, you just download apps2sd2 from the market and it does it for you.
if you have NOT rooted your phone, forget it. you can't.
go forth and Root, young man!
I can't find apps2sd2 on the market.

Try 'AppsToSD 2'. Appears in the market for me as that.
I believe App Manager has a backup feature, which doesn't need root.
Backing up apps to SD is a completely different animal to "Apps To SD".
The former simply backs up the APK files to your SD card - the physical apps remain on the phone itself.
The latter allows you to *run* applications from your SD card, so that they do not consume any phone memory. In addition, future app installations will go to SD card too.
Regards,
Dave

Can apps be stored on the SD card? Albeit via a hack.
Thanks

From what i'v heard the phone has to be rooted first, which hasn't been done yet.
I may be wrong though.
Surely not much of an issue with the larger space for apps anyway. Needs root, but once that's there, I'm sure A2SD will follow.

you can download apps from the web put them on your sd card and install them to your phone (they stay on sd card) with out root. go to the market download "appsinstaller"
go to Settings>Applications> Check Unknown sources and your ready to go.
you just put .apk files on your sd card and open the app. thats it
Yes you can install .apk files from SD and yes the .apk files stay on your SD card to install them another time,
but the apps are not running from SD card, nor are they installed on your SD card, they install onto your fone, and take up fone memory.
UNLESS you get root and run an Apps 2 SD type application.

This question isalso very important for me before Buying such an expensive phone!
Any good news or still impossible? Because i read everywhere then with a rooted Hero it is still not possible to install on SD cards.
Never impossible!! Its android not apple... > However, I reckon Aps 2 SD will be done on the hero at some point - rooting is already there.
Point of info - The Hero has around 150MB of space left for apps after a factory reset. The Magic has 295MB with the standard ROM - HUGE difference isn't it and I was gobsmacked, so maybe apps2SD is more needed than I thought on Hero....
That said, the hero ROM has a lot of stuff in the ROM that has to be added on Magic - twitter apps and widgets, Weather apps and widgets, sense UI, Loads of other pretty but big widgets built in. I may start to look at anything I can remove using Root Explorer - I never use the built in You Tube App, Footprints looks like it can go (10mb big I think..) and a few others...

Well Hero Has been Rooted Already and i mean its just a matter of time until developers gets started on their work.
Apps2sd has been done for both the G1 and the HTC magic and soon the Hero as it is 100% Possible.
btw. just like Dayzee said the phone already has a good amount of space for apps. or at least i dont see the need for it.
Ive just rooted my phone, and did all the backup procedures. going to install a new rom.
was thinking of installing villain 1.5.0 froyd.
just wondering what is app2sd and do i need it?
Apps2sd let's you store android applications on the SD card so you can have more installed without running out of space .
Moved to q&a as not development
sorry didnt realise was in wrong thread. so it alows me to put apps on sd card, i thought that was a feature in android 2.2 (being able to save apps to sd card), thus was under impression that if i donwloaded a 2.2 rom like vilainrom 1.5.0 i wouldnt need app2sd. is that correct?

Well, froyo does let you use the built-in method, but the EXT method is generally accepted to be better, since your apps don't disappear if you mount the SD to the computer.
You can use the froyo method if you wish, but I don't know of anyone else who is using it, since EXT also puts apps on SD that don't have the "please put on SD" flag set since they're older, or the dev didn't want them to go there.
Up to you.
thanks guess ill use the app2sd method. just not sure how to set this up. need to do research
ok so i have an hauwie Ideos s7 fat on 2.1-update1 (not the newer slim one which already has the update to 2.2).
its not tied to any network just use it at home on wifi.
i would like to know how to install apps on the external sd in stead of the internal also how to get to the folder which holds pictures and videos so i can move them to create more room. it doesnt have to much internal memory so by installing everything on the sd i plan to improve usage.
i have searched the google and have searched this site and various others and havent found the answer to my question.
so any help given would be great thank u
ps would also like to be able to to move existing installed apps to the external sd as well thank u

You either need to install the Froyo update (since moving apps to the SD started as a default feature in Froyo) or root your device.

Use this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en.
root check said "congratulations this device has root access"

Great, so that means your device is rooted. Now just use this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=en.

Use the app to transfer whichever apps you want to the new partition. Also set it to automatically link new apps to the sd partition, if that's what you want.
If you're having trouble, just Google it. There are hundreds of guides for using Link2SD, and thousands covering all kinds of ways to move apps to the sd card. Here's one to try.
First of all, one of our relatives gave my mom a Samsung Galaxy tab 7.0 Korean clone tablet, but the real device name is Softwinners V706, which runs on android 4.0.4. and has 5.05gb of sd or internal storage. First it was very descent, easy to use. But then, When I install apps on google play like Hungry Shark Evo, Dead Trigger, apps with very large files, an error pop up and said "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card". The solution was unmount the External memory card then mount it back again. But the tablet we were using didn't have an External memory card yet. And here's another problem. I tried to move apps to INTERNAL memory of the tablet, an example was the game "pou", It won't save. what I mean about it wont save, it becomes some thing like this, "me.pou.app", and becomes missing on the app drawer. another is the pictures and even screenshots, it won't save on the Internal memory of the tablet. We are new to this android thing. Please help us! I used the camera of my phone because the tablet won't save pictures for the screenshots.

do the factory reset
but it will delete all your app & data
if you want to do that
open setting, and search it on there, i forgot the location

oh, Thanks for your response, really appreciate it. Hope someone really helps me. hehe thanks again :good:
Hello, well, I'm sorry if this thread shouldn't be here, I'm a new user =D. But well, I ask help please, I hope to find an answer.
See, I've rooted my phone, but I can't move the apps to SD. I partitioned the SD for using Link2SD and it recognize the partition ext2, but can't create the links for apps. I fixed the problem the SD for writing (I can copy, cute and paste from internal storage to SD and inverse? - Sorry, my english is basic and don't have enough megabytes for using an English-Spanish dictionary =D-). So, I think that LG made a good job locking the system. I found some apps for trying to solve the problem, but I think the system protects of they (like Force2SD, Final App2SD, etc.) because don't let me install them, it says that the device don't have enough memory, but does let me install other apps heavier, like facebook. So, the system doesn't give permissions for move apps although the device is rooted. For now, I read that my only salvation is installing a Custom ROM. But there is no ROM for my device until now . Someone knows another option for help me?

I just figured it out, phone is rooted, card is partitioned, you can still only move very few apps to the card, but you can "link" them to the card, it is the option below the move to sd button. I went from having 400MB free to 750MB with the free app, and now have 1.2GB with the paid version. I am amazed!
