How to move the phone app to SD card ? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'd download some app from slideME market using my hero, after I installed the apk file, it seem save to my phone memory instead of SD card.
My problem is - When I open the 'All program' page, I can't see the app I'd install, its only seen through the ES File Explorer.

Thx for reading my question.

Have you installed a ROM with Apps2SD, and partitioned your SD card appropriately?

[Q] Can't detect SD Card

I'm having some problem with my sd-card. I use a class 4 16 gb SD card and I can browse it using a file manager and even play songs stored within. But some apps cannot detect it. When using the camera, NavDroyd and some apps, it is asking me to attach a card. I tried remounting the card to no avail.
And another thing - I have a torrent app. I started downloading a 2gb file but decided to cancel it. But the free space of my card was still reduced by 2gb although I removed the torrent and data. Any tips on this? Thanks.
Any ideas?
Try to copy what you have on sd card on your pc, then format it and copy the things back on sd card.Have you tried another card? Maybe is a rom problem. And the utorrent thingy, browse the sd-card and check the folder where it downloads the torrents and see if the file is still there, and manually delete it.
If I format my sd-card. do I have to repeat the convertion of ext2 to ext3,etc.. stuffs?

[Q] Stupid question but I really want to know

Hi guys,
Titanium Backup is installed on my sd card.
When I go to:
Settings -> Applications -> Application settings -> Manage applications -> "On SD card" tab ,
I can see that Titanium Backup (installed on sd card) takes up 1.94 MB of space on the sd card.
But I really can't find any Titanium Backup files on the sd card that would take up 1.94 MB of space.
Where is it?? I can't find anything, even in the hidden folders...
Thanks guys!!!

Apps installed on SD card will be at location /mnt/asec
You simply can't see the app, if you browse through SD card contents from a File Manager.
All apps installed on sd card are hidden but you can see them using root explorer or any other good file explorer
i'm not a newbie
Karan128, I know all about rooting and root explorer. I really can't find them anywhere on the sd card, even on the hidden folders of the sd card.
coolsandie is right-- all apps that are installed on sd card can be found in mnt/asec
I KNOW it's on the sd card
"coolsandie is right-- all apps that are installed on sd card can be found in mnt/asec"
I know that too.
But I cannot find the files that are actually taking up space in the sd card.
Hope that's clear.
try this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wOSwiY29tLmdvb2dsZS5hbmRyb2lkLmRpc2t1c2FnZSJd
It will show what files are taking how much space, I think you can find the apps installed on sd card.
Thanks karan!!!

[Q] [Question] Moving apps to SD Card

I just recently rooted my L9 (finally been wanting to do it since I got it) and the main reason I did this was so that I could move system apps to the SD card to I could download large games. Is there a way to directly download from Play Store to SD card or do I have to go through the SD card? Also what apps would be good for this? I'm currently using this file manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rhmsoft.fm. Can I do it with this app or is there another I have to get?
Try using Link2SD, I remember that there is an option to install apps on sd automatically, and you can delete, move or freeze apps

HELP.!!!!!!!
How can i move pre-installed apps to sd card??? My phone is rooted...
pre installed apps are usually placed in system folder
the updates of those apps can be moved to sd card using link2sd
in order to move the entire app to sd card, the system app should be converted to user app
heard about another app called folder mount with about the same usage, but personally haven't tried it yet
