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.
Does anyone know if there is a mximum number of apps you can download from the market? Even though I have plenty of memory left on the phone, I am only allowed to download a certain amount of apps and then the phone tells me installation unsuccessful due to memory. I have over 3 gb on phone and 10 on card. Any help would be appreciated!
Your internal memory is probably full. That even happened to me on the Evo. You should begin installing apps on your sd card. Get apps2sd or another app like that. You may have to have root access.. I'm not sure.
Install them on the SD Card just like @Adamp24 said. There is no limit as to how many apps you can download; only limited by internal or external memory.
Also, remember that when installing apps to the SD card the app will be tied to it. So if you remove the card and try and run the app you may get a force close.
I have 225apps installed from market on my Droid. No need for SD card and no error messages or low memory DroidX rules all

Are you sure, that there is no limit for the applications?
I am using link2sd, so I have a lot of free memory...
But I am unable to install more than 1023 applications altogether.
(I know, I know, maybe I should delete some of them, but anyhow...)
Am I doing something wrong? Can I do something to have more applications?
(MyAudio Tablet 7, Android version 4.0.4, by the way...)

You know how some apps are apps2sd when you download them from the Market? Let's say i do decide and move apps that I download from the market to the external sd, if I then decide to use TB to move my apps to the sd, will that end up creating duplicate versions in two different folders on my SD card? Purpose is of course to save space on my external SD card. I'll try it anyway and see what happens, but i was just wondering if anyone might know off the top of their head.
I purchased a 32GB MicroSD Class 10.
What do you think about Apps2SD?
Is it more useful for phones that has limited internal memory? or is it a smarter idea to run the apps from your SD card?
ALSO;
Since I install new ROMs all the time, will it make me re-download all the apps with a new install of the ROM?
Thanks!

I personally don't bother with A2SD. It was awesome on my older handsets that didn't have much space for apps. The 3D has something like 1.1GB so I don't think you'll fill that up too quickly even with application data/cache files. Some apps may require more data downloaded and they usually store extra files on your SD card.
Hi
i just rooted my sgs2 and i got 16gb external sd card, i have seen lots of good apps and i want to install them but before that i have read that some people recomend to install apps2sd to save space on the phone but other said that with that amount of space you dont need to install this app, also i readed that some roms dont support the app, so its good idea to install apps2sd???
I really like apps and i will check 3 or 5 roms. If its a good a idea, should i install first, before any other app??

I don't know apps2sd.
But it sounds like it moves your apps to the external sd card.
That can also be done with stock Android system: Setting > Applications > SD card.
Then click on the app you want to move and say move to sd card.
I had some apps on my external sd card, but some apps are loaded a little bit later/slower, when they are on the external sd card.
So, I recommend that all apps, which you need very often and especially direct after booting the phone, should stay on the internal sd card.
And after flashing some "early" ICS Rom versions, I lost my apps which were on the external sd card.
I had to re-install them from Play store.
But this was only an issue of some ICS ROMs/kernels, and should be fixed now.
Anyway, that caused me to move all apps back to the internal sd card.
I just want to be on the "safe side" ;-)
you should absolutely not install app2sd (the app of that name), because the functionality is already present in all roms.
in settings -> apps you can move apps.
however, in contrast to the previous post, apps are moved between the /data/ partition of the internal sd card and the /sdcard/ partition of the internal sd card.
as you might know, /data/ has 2GB, /sdcard/ has about 12GB. You can check on your current storage space occupation in settings -> storage.
if you have enough free space on data, leave your apps there, as sdcard is a universal storage space, that can also contain music, photos, videos and so on and since this space is also accessible to users that are not rooted, it is more versatile and therefor more valuable.
Since both partitions are on the same sd card, you don't have to worry about speed differences.
After moving some apps using apps2sd I had to restore a nandroid because it messed up my system.

great i wont install apps2sd, but now what kind of files or info is recommended to be in the external SDcard?
I have on the external sd card my movies, music, photos and videos recorded with the phone camera, my titanium backup folder, few custom rom zip files, nandroids etc.

^Ditto. Keep your media and big files on external SD, keep your apps on the internal app memory if you can (its around 2gb in size, unless you go over that there is no need to put apps on SD).

Pretty much a obvious question for most people . Do install it ! It moves apps to SD ( wow ) , clearing space for many many other stuff . So , why not install it ?
Thank me if i helped ~
well iam fully loaded an my opinion is the app notifies u wen u install a app,but on the hard core side wen many apps r moved to sd ,ive crashd sometimes..i think it was better if there was a option to store apps directly on the ext sd card instead of phone or int sd card...
Try GL to SD from the market, posted a threat like this a month ago and someone recommend me this.
