Hi!
My question is, how to install the android os (Cyanogenmod) on sd card?
I have only 12MB left on my phone memory and it's too small. I can't install apps like Skype or others because theese are "phone only" applications. Yeah, I know I can use App2SD apps, but it's not good for me.
Any ideas?
Thanks (and sorry if I had some solecisms?!)

Friends,
Can any tell me why some of the apps I have downloaded cannot be moved to SD?(the option is blanked out). Is there any way to do a workaround this limitation?
Thanks.
Applications that run as services and widgets can't be moved to SD card - Froyo (Android 2.2.x) limitation. The workaround is to use app2sd (aka "a2sd") or link2sd, applications that make use of an ext-type partition on your SD card and link the system and data folders to that partition. Doing so, the apps will physically install on the SD card, even those who aren't supposed to (services and widgets I mentioned earlier). Also, apps already installed in your phone can be moved.
Feel free to search the forum and the web for more details about how they work and how to install and use them.
Thanks for quick reply. Still puzzled. Do I have to root in order to install apps2sd? If so how to get around the no root limitation to my 2.2.1? I do not wish to downgrade. Thanks again.
If you don't want to downgrade and/or install a custom ROM that has Darktremor's apps2sd (follow the link and read that post anyway, it's useful info), then you need a tool able to force-move the applications to SD card. I can't help you with any suggestion here so you have to search the Market or any other source you trust. But if that tool needs root rights you're stuck again, because 2.2.1 can't be rooted at the moment.
I have a sony Ericsson x10 mini pro. I'm wondering if its possible to move apps to my sd card, because the phone doesn't have a big internal memory. I heard something about having to root the phone, and doing something to the sd card. Could someone guide me through that, or tell me more about it? How will that effect the apps?
Thank you x
BTW, sorry if this is in teh wrong part of the forum, i wasn't sure what section it came under
I am also trying to find out the answer to this question. All i have been able to find out through search is that one has to root the phone and there is probably just one application superone click that allows you to do that currently for X10mini/pro 2.1 version. However once one has rooted through superone click, how do you then transfer all your applications to the SD card and whether its possible or not is my question. Hoping someone answers soon so i can take the risk of rooting.
There is an app that you can get at the market to enable you to transfer apps to SD..
App2SD and Link2SD.. just search on the Market
and also search the forums for these 2 apps, there are dedicated topics for these with more detailed discussions...
I've tried both App2SD and Link2SD along with a few others... none of them install on X10mini/pro runing on v 2.1. They require some sort of partition on the SD card which i have no idea how to do.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is no. Of videos of partition of sd card in YouTube.
I m using link2sd and I feel its better than app2sd.
.
If you use Android 1.6/2.1 then you have to use link2SD.
Use this guide for partitioning the sd card
SD Card Partitioning
Or if you have gone to the new Android 2.2/2.3 you dont need these steps, because they are integrated in the OS itself. There are some advantages running 2.2 or 2.3
Good luck
Thank you all... It worked!!!
Used link2SD and created partition on SD card as advised by Tommylee567. Transfered my apps to SD Card. Only issue i am having after the root is that Skype is giving me problems. Have to take the battery out to reset the phone and stop it from ringing continuously whenever someone calls me on skype. I didn't experience this problem before though.
Anyways atleast i got my apps transfered to SD Card.
Thanks Tommylee
I have partitioned my ad and installed link2sd. However it gives an error saying the 2nd partition not found. i have followed all the steps correctly and my mini pro is rooted. Can anyone help? Please!!!
Hi all
After installing a few hundreds of apps I find my phone (SGS2) is full of crap. Is there any way to leave the internal sdcard (not talking about the external_sd) as it came from factory? I tried with a factory data reset and I still see all the folders the apps created :-( Maybe rooting and installing some ROMs is not helping...
Please, help!
Thanks in advance to the great community

Ups... sorry, Won't happen again
I am talking about what Android calls "USB storage", in case it wasn't clear. Where the apps are stored by default, when you don't have any external SD card.
Thanks

Hello everyone im new here...
I have been at it for hours, and i have finally managed to root my tablet. Its a samsung galaxy tab 3.7.0 wifi only with 8GB of internal storage, most of which is taken up by system memory. Its model is the SM-T210. I have a few questions and i would be very grateful if you could answer them...
1) How can i move apps to my sd card?its a 16gb sandisk...i have already tried folder mount, apps 2 sd and APPMGR 111, but they are either not compatible for my device or dont work/let me install them?
2)ive rooted my tablet...now what do you reccommend i do?
Thanks everyone, in advance.
1) Give Link2SD a try, it sounds like the closest to what you want. Make sure you read its FAQ, it's not a one click solution and you'll need to setup your SD card first.
2) Why did you root if you don't know what to do?
