Ok so I'm kind worried about my phone's internal memory . Is there any way to force all app's to SD card . Some apps can't be transfered to sd through conventional apps or settings>Apps .
Thx and I'm very sorry for a 2nd thread openend in such a small ammount of time
Cheers.

[Script][A2SD] Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5.3 Beta 04 (01/29/2011)
[Q] Apps2SD on a custom ROM
Hmmm interesting, but seems way too much of a hassle . Primarily I just wanted to move Yahoo messenger which occupies quite a lot of space and maybe Chess elite which again is rooted ( literally speaking ) into the internal memory . This makes me sucha a sad panda
For that I just use move2sd enabler or apps2sd froyo. They're in the market

It will not force move apps like Yahoo mess , or chess elite unfortunately . Seems like I'm stuck with a pretty limited phone memory
If you like having everything on the SD card, you can use ROMs that come with dalvik2sd and darktremor apps2sd That is, if you like that. I personally don't prefer those though. As long as I have more than 50MB of free internal space, there's nothing to worry about.
I have lots of apps installed on my optimus one.
Some on SD and some on phone.
If I go for this mod, do I have to install all the apps on the SD card again as those would be deleted?
No idea. I tried flashing Light ROM(i added darktremor for my personal use and testing) without wiping anything, and darktremor apps2sd doesn't seem to work. To me, this looks like wiping everything then flashing. In short, complete reinstallation.
I'm not sure though. Maybe I just haven't given it enough time.
Try move2sd enabler.
Try links2sd from Gt540 forums. As far as I know it need some work with some kernels. For sure works with Mik_os kernel (1.0) Backup all content of SD card before ext partitioning.
i have installed app2sd in market free but there are some app only install in phone memory, how to move them into sdcard
you can try via adb:
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

You can try that too. It won't be picky since it will create symbolic links from /data/app to your SDcard's ext partition. I yet have to try this, but this method seems to be easy, plus there's a GUI (app) for it.
I'm not sure if this works with the stock kernel, but flashing something else should be easy
apps2sd with stock rom
Anyone here tried installing darktremor's apps2sd?
I can't seem to get it to work. It just loops in the bootup animation.
Goofy problem but every rom I have tried will not update tweetdeck properly in the background with the screen black, except for xtrsense. Even the original stock rom does not work properly at doing this. Has anyone else had the same problem? Is there a fix?
I would love to be able to go to one of the 2.2 or 2.3 roms but i need tweetdeck to update properly on my accounts.
Side question - will there be a 2.2 or 2.3 for xtrsense?
Side question 2 - I am going to be searching for this but figured i would throw it in just incase I can not figure it out. I loaded the gscript for the apps2sd but I cant get any apps to the sd card. It is not even an option when I go to the manage apps. Like I said, I am going to search for this one but while I was typing I figured I would throw it in.
Tweetdeck is one of my key apps and I have no trouble at all with it on CELB Froyo or GSB. The only ROM I had an issue with was a later version of Nonsensikal. For some reason, that had an Autokiller-like aggressive memory setting and Tweetdeck would not stay open in the background.
Unlike many other twitter clients, Tweetdeck has no way to autostart and seems to have no server component to get updates, and aggressive memory settings will close the app when it is in the background. If you are using autokiller or something like it, using the optimum preset seems to work pretty well. Just vanilla GSB settings are just fine.

Gscript for Apps2SD? I never heard of a GScript for that capability. There's an Apps2SD flashable zip which adds the Apps2SD script to your phone, if that's what you're talking about, but you don't use it in GScript.
Technically and completely literally, there never can be a 2.2 or 2.3 version of xtrSENSE because xtrSENSE is (currently) based on the July OTA 2.1, so it's a heavily modified version of THE official ROM for the Eris. There is no official 2.2 or 2.3 for the Eris, so there's no 2.2 or 2.3 stock ROM with Sense to base a new Eris ROM on.
Devs have worked on 2.2 and 2.3-based Sense ROMs based on stuff from other phones, but none of them are as stable and "finished" as the original stock ROM, or even xtrSENSE. Things don't work such as Wifi and Camera, and possibly some other difficulties. They haven't given up but they've been beating their heads against the wall for months for Froyo Sense. At this point, there's probably a marginally better chance that we'll ever have a port of a Gingerbread Sense which has everything working, over Froyo Sense.

Yes, he has a gscript script built in to xtrsense that you can just load and run to do it.
I will have to redo my sdcard again and see if that fixes it. I still like how 2.3 lets you move the apps though. It is a WHOLE lot easier.

That's not how it works with xtrSENSE. With xtrSENSE, you first need to partition your SD card to add an ext3 partition to store your apps. Then, as you noted, you run a gscript to activate apps2sd. This will move *all* of your user apps to the ext partition - you cannot choose to keep some internal. You either have your apps internal and not on SD, or you have your apps on SD and not internal.
The original post in the xtrSENSE thread explains this pretty well. The relevant portions are here:
Apps2sd and Cache2sd:
I have revamped my implementation of apps2sd to use simpler and better organized scripts. For apps2sd to work you must first complete the listed prerequisites and it is a good idea to read through the "things you may want to know about apps2sd" section. Although it can provide gobs of space for apps, Apps2sd is not for everyone as it ties the stability of your phone to your SD card... If you do not need the space I would recommend that you keep the default of DISABLED; if you want to try you can always disable it again however there is always the chance of issues.
To enable/disable apps2sd and cache2sd just run the appropriate GScript and reboot your phone (Quick Boot makes this easy!).
Prerequisites
If you have not setup your SD card (for those new to Apps2sd) as per tkirton:
BACKUP YOUR SD CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER. Can't stress this enough, as partitioning will wipe the entire card.
Reboot into recovery
In Android System Recovery, select Partition sdcard
In the Partition sdcard menu, select Partition SD
Follow the instructions on the phone to partition your SD card. Most folks seem to recommend using the default values however you can go larger or smaller use values 256, 512,768,1024. You will also be asked to set a swap size; I stayed at 32mb (anticipate future ROM options to allow moving swap to sd)
Once the partition is initially created you must then convert to ext3 - In the Partition sdcard menu, select SD:ext2 to ext3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
Press the back button on the phone to go back to the main menu.
Your SD card is now ready to work with an Apps2sd supported ROM.
Things you may want to know about apps2sd
Bootloop protection is built in if your SD card is corrupted or is removed from the phone with Apps2sd enabled. Your apps will go away but your phone will boot .
There are 3 subsets of data associated to an app when it is installed and run on your phone.
1) /data/app/ (and /data/app-private) - actual .apk files we think of as the applications that are not system apps (i.e. installed on /system/app)
2) /data/data/ - the files produced by ALL apps (system apps and market apps) during installation that are used by the Android system to run the app
3)/data/dalvik-cache/ - app cache file and work space for ALL apps (system apps and market apps).
From root explorer (or similar) you can browse to the /data/app OR the /system/sd/app folders and you will see the same thing, both will tell you how much space you have used and have left. The way apps2sd works is by "linking" the /system/sd/app to the /data/app folder so that the Android system thinks it is accessing the /data/app it is really at /system/sd/app.
I have seen using Apps2sd cause issues with some.zip flash updates as they try to write directly to the /data/app folder which no longer "physically" exists
If you get into a bootloop issue using apps2sd boot into amon_ra recovery and try one of the follow:
1) from the Other menu option select the Fix apk uid mismatches
2) from the Wipe menu option complete a)Wipe data/factory reset b)Wipe Dalvik-cache c)Wipe SD:ext partition
Apps2sd and Cache2sd Basics
When you run the apps2sd or cache2sd script, upon reboot, it will move ALL your existing apps or cache to the sd card ext partition and ALL future apps and cache will be installed and stored on the sd card ext partition.
Running the apps2internal or cache2internal script, upon reboot, it will move ALL your existing apps or cache to the /data block of internal storage and ALL futures apps and cache will be stored in internal storage.
With HTC based ROMs it is all or nothing and you cannot move individual apps like in the CyanogenMod ROMs.
So how do I know Apps2sd is on? - You can run the GScript report_system_stats which will give you a printout of what fileblocks are used as well as a “true/false” value for Apps2sd On. You can also go to menu>Settings>Sd card and phone storage - when on space available under Available storage will go down at a VERY slow rate when new apps are installed.

It works fine for me on xtrSENSE. Try uninstalling advanced app killer for a while and see if tweetdeck works better. Also, run the gscript set_memory_balanced or set_memory_stock. I have had Tweetdeck work just fine in xtrSENSE4.6.5 with both of those settings.

I did not explain well, I did do that but the apps still would not move over. I thought i had to manually move the apps after the ext3 partition and such but there must be something little I am missing. I will go back through the steps again and see what happens. I still like how 2.2 and 2.3 move the apps a lot better and I wish xtrsense would be based on 2.2 or 2.3
As for tweetdeck, it DOES work right in xtrsense just not in any other rom even the stock rom.

When you run that gscript that I highlighted above (report_system_stats), does it say that you have apps2sd enabled? If it does, then you do. After you partition your card and run the gscript to enable apps2sd (called apps2sd), there is nothing that you need to do manually - the apps will move to SD. All new apps that you install will go to SD. You cannot pick and choose - apps are either on SD or internal.

To be honest, I think that this method is better. For one thing, you can back up your ext partition on your SD card; unless you use Clockwork, you cannot backup .android_secure. Also, when you connect your SD card to your computer, it dismounts the SD card from the phone, making those apps unavailable until you re-mount the SD card to the phone. Because you cannot dismount the ext3 partition (without trying really hard, that is), your apps are always available. Widgets can run from those apps. Lastly, there is no this app is internal, that app is on SD - they are either all on SD or they are not. Plus, of course, you don't have to move apps one at a time.

Yea, it just doesnt move anything for some reason - Really isnt that big of a deal just would be nice with me being a packrat for everything so I wouldnt have to uninstall as often lol
Thanx for the help!
I am still wishing and hoping for xtrsense based on 2.2 or 2.3 though =)

There's an app called Link2SD which allows you to use old-school Apps2SD with the ability to only move what you want to move. Haven't tried it but reports are positive about it. Creates symlinks or some such for individual apps instead of for the whole data/app folder at once.

There's a couple of apps on the market, Dual Mount SD (used to be called SD Share, I think) and Multi Mount SD, which now, not only allow you to mount your SD card to both your computer and your phone at the same time, they also both have the option to auto-mount your SD card to your computer when you plug it in to the USB cable, which is now what I do. Multi Mount SD had that feature first, Dual Mount SD copied it just recently.
Also, Titanium Backup (paid, don't know about the free version) will allow you to batch move as many apps as you like to and from the SD card.

Good to know, but I still like the "old school" apps2sd kludge more than the official kludge that Google added with Froyo. I've had more problems with apps2sd (when I tried it) with Froyo than I ever had with xtrROM before cache2cache was added to that ROM.

The absolutely only thing I don't like about, now that Link2SD is out, is that it's difficult to use the old Apps2SD under Froyo and beyond, requiring special partitioning arrangements, concerning where the particular partitions are and making it difficult to mount all the Fat32 partitions to both the phone and the computer, unless there's been progress in those areas I haven't been made aware of.
Even though there's some things which won't move to the SD card in a friendly way with Froyo's move to SD, almost everything will move if you use an app such as Titanium Backup to move them. As I said, there's still some apps it won't move but it moves almost all of them for me. I guess I wouldn't like it if I was stuck with Google implementation of it, but as long as there are third party apps to make up what it's lacking, it works great for me.
I also like that since I "only" have an 8GB SD card, that I don't have to partition it, the apps that are moved to SD will only take up as much space as they need to, no partition with space that'll never get used because I want it at least large enough to cover my worst case scenarios.
Off topic, it's unbelievable how much "crap" I get on my SD card, from all the apps I've stopped using but never deleted any respective folders for from the card. Mostly because I replaced the app with something better.
So I'm currently running Ginger Tazz 12 and I want to run all my apps from my SD with a partition but when i do my phone says I have an unsupported or blank sd until I delete the patition. I have like 100+ apps and I use the cache2sd script but I still run out of memory. Can someone Plz help me to get this to work. Thnks

Froyo (2.2) and beyond, at least on our phones, do not like the old style Apps2SD partition except if it's located in a very specific way. If you ask me, it's a PITA and therefore I prefer to use Froyo and beyond's native Apps2SD ability, which doesn't require multiple partitions.
If you want to try that way, make a backup of your SD card, partition the SD card with no Ext2 or Swap partition, and all the remaining space as FAT32.
Then (assuming a Cyanogen-based ROM) in the Cyanogen settings enable Application moving and set the default location as you wish (sounds like External).
Apps to assist in using Froyo+ native Apps2SD ability:
"Install Manager for root users"
"Apps2SD Pro"
Titanium Backup (paid) will allow you to en mass move apps to and from the SD card, also it has the option to restore backups of apps back to the location they were in when they were backed up from another ROM.
Also note that with Froyo+ native Apps2SD, you can't move apps with widgets you want to use on your homescreen to the SD card. The widgets won't be available in the widget list until you move them back to the internal memory.
If you remain firm that you want to use the old style Apps2SD, I am no expert, but Conap has outlined how to configure it so it will work under Froyo+. There's a thread in development, but you'll have to search for it. It's more complicated to have access to the FAT32 partitions (you would have to have at least two in this case) under both the phone and Windows. To clarify, exactly one of the FAT32 partitions will be naturally accessible from either the phone or from Windows, but they'll each access the opposite FAT32 partition. You have to take extra steps under both the phone and Windows in order to access the "other" (not normally visible) FAT32 partition.
Like I said, personally I think it's too much a PITA for me, but you're taste might be different.
Well over all it just runs all the apps from SD and it still saves memory. I have Ubuntu so any partion is easy I just need the steps

I really don't remember the name of the thread Conap gave the directions in. As I said, you'll have to look over in the Eris Development area. It's in there, somewhere. You can use the search function to try to help. Key words: Froyo and Partition.
First of all, thank you the developers who bring about the GingerDX, one of the greatest ROMs for Mini Pro on this forum. It is fast and stable.
However, the full functions of Link2SD seem not to work in this ROM, if any steps I am missing.
1. After linking apps to SD, the apps cannot function at all and were forced to close, even Link2SD app itself.
2. Initially I could move the apps, dalvik-cache together with libraries to SD on ROMs such as Froyobread or Slade's CM6, but only apps can be moved to SD now using Link2SD on GingerDX.
Does anyone encounter the same problems and have subsequently solved them? In light of limited internal storage in our devices, being able to move as many as possible the app files will certainly save the day. Please provide kind assistance in this, efforts appreciated.
Also, apart from Link2SD, all custom ROMs based on the CMs come with the 'Install Location' for selection built-in the Settings. Does it work like Link2SD, since the number of internal storage did not seem to change, in spite of having set it to 'External'?
Thank you!
Hi, I have upgraded my x10a to 2.3 Cyanogen but I don't like the stock camera it has. I miss my old camera (in 1.6 or 2.1 version). Is it possible to have that camera installed in 2.3? I don't want to go back to 2.1 to have it.
I've found some disadvantages with this new camera:
1. Zoom buttons don't work neither on video or camera mode (I changed the settings and rebooted it but not fixed yet).
2. Shutter screen touch mode is not available.
3. Burst & self-timer options are not available in camera in 2.3
I have tried others camera app like FX, pudding, magic camera... but none seems to have all features in one.
Thanks for any suggestion
its known that camera in cyanogenmod has its faults,but why just you dont keep the 2.3.3???? and just upgrade the things you want,like facebook inside xperia 2 and the swype keyboard from 2.3.4,just my humble opinion
Having a similar trouble with JP MIUI v6. All the customization is great but losing the ability to zoom is killing me. I'm thinking of going back to 2.3.3 stock until i find a way around it. I was really sad to hear @gm007 had a new phone and was no longer working on his mod because it really rocks.
I started modifying my cell coz I wanted to move apps to my SD. my cell's memory is not that big (500 and something) so everytime it gives the error of not enough space and I had to delete some apps to release some space... do u know if 2.3.3 allows moving apps to SD? I tried app2sd when I had 2.1 but SD partition is needed. After sd partitioned the app don't recognize the partition and it said unable to move... I guess I have to sacrifice one feature for another. Thanks 4 any suggestions

All 2.2.x up roms support native apps to SD. A stock 2.3.3 rom will move the apps to the SD Card. App2sd, link2sd and S2E all require a second partition to link to, but you can move dalvik and lib files also so you pretty much have unlimited app storage. On native android those files will be stored internally eventually filling up your internal storage.

you can move apps since 2.2,also with adb mask controller you can set the default location to install apks to sd card.
