U probably have the Apps installing to ur sd card.... apps with Widgets that are installed directly to your sd will cause the Widgets to have load failures

I suppose Atrix "SD card" is same as internal memory because it is internal 16G memory.But i also find the system will auto disamount the SD card" when turn off.i will try to move app to internal mem to see if it works.
Thx for your idea.

finally i found they are not installed into phone.they are installed to media area......how could the phone decide where should the app be installed to?
When i try to move the app to phone,i still cannot find out the widget..How can i install this app to phone directly?

"Error while downloading "(appname)". There is insufficent space on this device."
I seem to have gotten this infamous Market problem on my phone.
Every time I try to install or update an app, I'm met with this problem.
I've deleted the Market data, unmounted and remounted the SD card, deleted updates to the Market, restarted the device and I still get the same problem, even though I have enough space on my device.
I also would rather have an option that doesn't involve me factory resetting my phone.
Can anyone help? I'm on Froyo right now, if that helps.
I'm also using the new market (3.0.27), but it happens regardless.
do you move apps to your sdcard?

Yeah, all the ones I can move to SD I have done.
Though, I still have space on the SD card too.
Had the same problem with Star Chart app.
After I cleaned > 100M from internal memory, I still was not able to install this app from the Market. Ended up downloading apk from the internet (I'd already paid for it) and installing it manually. So it seems like a problem with the Market..
There was a fix program, even on market. I think it was called market Fix. It basicaly puts market cache folder to sd card and links to it. Thats it.

App storage

I'm using a ZTE blade with CM7 and ICS launcher overclocked to 748 MHz. I'm using a super app to SD application called Droidsail.
When I boot my phone, because of all the apps loading ( I have 150+ apps) I get multiple force closes and the phone hangs. I've to try like 10 times before it gets stable. Somebody help. is there anything I can do?
Move some apps to your SD card.
1) Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
2) Select an app from the list, and press the button 'Move to SD card.'
Go for the 'unimportant' ones, like Angry Birds. (i.e. I'd keep Flash internal.)
Avoid anything with a widget (that you're using).
I can't say if this truly is a cure. It worked for me, but, personally, it just doesn't seem to be logical.
150!?!?!? And I thought 110 was too many.
dude all the apps are on my memory card. all 150+ except for my launcher and my widgets. that's the problem. when I boot, it loads all 150+ from the memory card causing multiple FCs. it sucks. I tried increasing the SD cache size. no difference :/
and yeah, 150+ and counting.
I think you should use an app to configure your startup apps which runs when you starts yor phone.. i'm using an app called System Tuner its great, and in the section Startups you can prevent the apps u don't want to open automatically when u turn your phone On
thanks a lot. I'll try it.
but the apps don't fc. the launcher does. I think as It reads and loads the apps. Idk. :/
btw I'm using ics launcher v1.4. it has a bad rep., but I want the ics look.
no man. I limited the startup apps. no difference. I just rebooted with 7 FCs.
somebody help!!!!!!
if its worth anything, this happens even when I mount my SD card to my laptop and then unmount it.
HELPPPPP
Try moving some apps to the internal storage.
And try and see if your phone supports DarkTremor A2SD. If apps are on a partition on the SD card, they seem to not be as buggy on startup.
(I had the same issue as you, now that I've got most of them on an SD EXT partition it boots normally.)
thanks. a lot
noob question. how do I make am SD ext partition?
First make sure it's compatable
Then backup you SD card (partitioning it will format it)
Third, boot into the recovery and select advance -> Partition SD card
Select your size and the partitioning is done, now you can move your stuff back to the SD card.
thanks.
I have two follow up questions
1) once its partitioned how do I mount it at boot / before boot
2) how do I select it as the default location to install apps
First, SD partitioning is not something I'm comfortable with. Just my 2 cents.

OUCH! That sounds crazy! I just checked the phone specs. It says your phone has 512MB internal NAND. Now I understand why everything is on your SD card... sort of.
No expert on this, but I would say it is safe to say that all 150+ apps are not loading into at boot. Only the ones that are A) services, B) started by the launcher, or C) the annoying apps don't seem to have a reason (which tick me off).

Well... I've tried way, way more. I just replace or uninstall the duplicate/unwanted/unused apps... leaving me at a pretty constant 110. It is fun to experiment. I guess that's why we have Androids!
As a rule, if the web browser can do it, then I avoid the app. (e.g. GasBuddy, WeatherChannel, etc.) (Also, the likes of Tapatalk. Nothing wrong with it, but I just use the website.) </tangent>

This hints that some more apps need to be moved from the SD card to phone storage. Which apps FC when you unmount? Or is it just on remount?
I'm hoping you can track down which apps are at fault, move them to "Phone Storage," and avoid the SD partitioning.
Other things:
I have to wait for a bit until I unlock the screen, otherwise my launcher will FC. My conclusion is that it (and the system) are still busy getting setup. Asking the launcher to draw is just asking too much of the CPU, and the watchdog flags it for FC. If you instead press "No thanks"(?) and wait, it will run without error after things have settled down. Pressing "Force close" on the launcher with just restart it's "boot" process, overload the CPU, and FC again.
Default install location is set in: Settings -> Cyanogenmod Settings -> Application -> Install location.
thanks a LOT.
I finally solved it. I created an ext2 partition and since that mounts before boot, all my apps load fine. I also switched to GO launcher.
idk, one of the two helped solve my problem
thanks

[Q] Music apps can't read from SDCard

Hi guys,
I've been frustrated with this issue for a while. By using any kind of file manager, I can see my sd card (under /storage/sdcard1). Can copy file to and from. The same goes when I connect the phone to my PC. But when I try to read music from the sd card, it seems that non of the music apps can see the SD. The same goes with the gallery, can't see any pics from the SD. Tried to clear data from media service but still no luck.
I am using RR Rom, before when I used GB, didn't have any problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!!

[Q] Apps Missing After Moved to SD

Hi there,
I've got a problem.
After I moved some apps to SD Card (using Link2SD or Titanium Backup), they are gone from home screen, app drawer list,and even in the list of installed apps they still missing. However, the files are still in disk but for some reasons, the OS cant detect them.
They only came back (to home screen and app drawer) after I perform Hot Boot.
Could you please explain why that was happening?
And how to avoid that problem?
I am using 4.1.2 Wanamlite XWLSW and Philz kernel 5.06.
Thanks,
I'm not really familiar with moving apps to other storages. But I'd recommend you to leave them where they are. Our SGS2 has storage for hundreds of apps. Plus they are slower if you move them and widgets won't work anymore.
Edit: Almost forgot about that: Big games automatically store their data on sd-card so there's no need to move them since the apps size itself is rather small
Move app using stock function setting》applications》select app》move to sd card
Send from my SGS2 I9100 with HassanROM and latest DorimanX 8.xx kernel

Thanks, but if I dont move them, my Internal storage will be empty and I cant do some of basic functions (ex: take camera pictures, download documents, take screenshots, etc). Moving apps gives me some space in internal storage (maybe around 100 MB).

I tried that but still doesnt work.
I tried using Link2SD and Titanium Backup, but after reboot normally, they are still gone. I tried Smart Launcher, but they stil didnt appear. Because they were listed as uninstalled. The files are there, but the system doesnt load them. Must still do hot reboot first before the system loads them.
I guess I'll take 1 example for disappearing app, this information taken from Link2SD (after Hot Boot):
Temple Run 2 Version 1.2.1 (on SD Card)

What actually Hot Boot does and normal reboot does not?

JB manages Memory in a diff way compared to ICS or GB, so its always better to have the apps where they get installed, rather than moving them to elsewhere and face trouble

But it looks like every apps installs themselves in internal storage (even app that uses big APK size), so soon or later my internal storage will be full. Is there any workaround about that?
Thanks

just open settings>manage apps and under 'All' tab u can tap on the app and see whether u can move that app to 'sdcard' or not, if its there then u can do it else its better to leave it.
since moving apps to sdcard using third party apps from stores, will always bring issue's for u, rather than resolving the storage problem

[Q] Some apps not working after using Link2sd

I use link2sd to link app, dalvik (dex), lib and data files of all 3rd party apps that I install to my SD card to keep the internal memory clean and save space. Most of the apps work but some apps like Subway Surfers, Rail Rush, etc. stop working after linking everything and REBOOTING the phone. Until I reboot, it works but not after that. When I try to launch them, I get "[app] has stopped working error". 95% of the linked apps work totally fine. Problem is only with some apps (these apps that are troublesome are mostly the ones that automatically get installed to the SD card. But even if they do, only apk is stored on SD card and the dex, lib, data are still on the internal memory so I still need to use Link2SD).
Any solutions? Or workarounds?

Install these minority of apps as the developer intended? , if it's only a few apps it's hardly going to swamp your internal memory.

Yeah its just a few but I'm afraid I wanna keep more such apps in future which might behave this way. As far as it seems, this problem is only with some of those apps which automatically get installed to the SD card (like subway surfers). I found a workaround that seems to be working. Firstly the app needs to be moved to the internal memory before linking (which I already did before). But there are two ways to do this: One through the Android system (Settings -> Apps -> SD card -> Select app -> Move to phone) and other by using the Link2SD app (Select app -> Move to phone). The second option solves the problem. If the app is moved to phone using Android system, then linked to SD card and rebooted, apps stop working. So, its needed to move it to phone using link2sd.
