From what i'v heard the phone has to be rooted first, which hasn't been done yet.
I may be wrong though.
Surely not much of an issue with the larger space for apps anyway. Needs root, but once that's there, I'm sure A2SD will follow.

you can download apps from the web put them on your sd card and install them to your phone (they stay on sd card) with out root. go to the market download "appsinstaller"
go to Settings>Applications> Check Unknown sources and your ready to go.
you just put .apk files on your sd card and open the app. thats it
Yes you can install .apk files from SD and yes the .apk files stay on your SD card to install them another time,
but the apps are not running from SD card, nor are they installed on your SD card, they install onto your fone, and take up fone memory.
UNLESS you get root and run an Apps 2 SD type application.

This question isalso very important for me before Buying such an expensive phone!
Any good news or still impossible? Because i read everywhere then with a rooted Hero it is still not possible to install on SD cards.
Never impossible!! Its android not apple... > However, I reckon Aps 2 SD will be done on the hero at some point - rooting is already there.
Point of info - The Hero has around 150MB of space left for apps after a factory reset. The Magic has 295MB with the standard ROM - HUGE difference isn't it and I was gobsmacked, so maybe apps2SD is more needed than I thought on Hero....
That said, the hero ROM has a lot of stuff in the ROM that has to be added on Magic - twitter apps and widgets, Weather apps and widgets, sense UI, Loads of other pretty but big widgets built in. I may start to look at anything I can remove using Root Explorer - I never use the built in You Tube App, Footprints looks like it can go (10mb big I think..) and a few others...

Well Hero Has been Rooted Already and i mean its just a matter of time until developers gets started on their work.
Apps2sd has been done for both the G1 and the HTC magic and soon the Hero as it is 100% Possible.
btw. just like Dayzee said the phone already has a good amount of space for apps. or at least i dont see the need for it.
So, after owning alot more android aps than I should, I feel it is neccessary to go with aps2sd
I do have questions though..
1.Where do I find a howto? When I say a howto, I mean a decent walkthru from the start of the partitioning process in amonrecovery to running all the way to setting it up on your phones rom.
2.Do I need a different card other than what came with my Eris? I have read alot that this card causes roms to lag?
3.Once this is setup, how does transitions work when you switch to other roms?
Thanks in advance guys
by the way, I am currently using Buuf rom which is bases off of Fresh2.1.2 if anyone is wondering.
1. there's a couple of guides here... but it's really easy to setup in amon.
- first, copy all your data from SD to your PC (i.e., backup your data)
- boot into recovery
- scroll down to "Partition sdcard" - press trackball to confirm
- for "swap-size" scroll down on trackball to choose "0" (this may be were you hear "lag" from... our internal Eris memory is quicker than your SD for swap)
- for "ext2-size" choose how much space you want for your apps... i choose 768mb (but this is quite alot... for most 512 is plenty)
- "fat32-size" will be the remainder of space on your sdcard - press trackball to confirm your settings and start partitioning.
- once done... you go back to the "Partition sdcard" menu and choose "SD: ext2 to ext3" - press trackball to confirm
after this, your card is ready to go... you can copy your data back.
as for "setting up" on roms... to be honest, in my experience, it varies. some roms work GREAT w/apps2sd... others take a lot of "playing" to get working. both cyanogen based roms here worked great with apps2sd... and it was as easy as going to Settings > Applications and checking the apps2sd box. reboot, install apps, done!
2. i'd say most apps will run just fine from the stock sd card. i didn't notice any lag when using mine (though i upgraded to a class 4 16gb card that i got on the cheap from ebay). again, if your swap was on the stock sd, it may cause lag (and i wouldn't run the swap on sd unless i had a class 6 sdcard, personally)
3. again, this will vary from rom to rom. when i switch between the cyanogen roms, my apps setup/restore just fine
There is a detailed explanation of a2sd by one of the devs himself over in the General Board (where this thread should be):

hey i just followed ur steps but when the phone rebooted all i get is blank sd-card or unsupported file system any ideas, please help
You may have completely wiped your sd card. Hopefully you did a back up on your computer.
Question for the others: if a rom doesn't have apps2sd, I downloaded one before and put some of my apps and widget apps on there, but when I do a long press on my screen to pick a widget its no longer there. is this how apps2sd work?
especially for the Eris since it only has 159MB.

Widgets from sd aren't supported. You have to keep them on internal memory.

Note that even for old school Apps2SD that there's an app (if not on Market, at least on XDA somewhere) called Link2SD that finally allows you to use old Apps2SD selectively, so you can keep some of your apps in internal memory like the ones with widgets and others needing faster access, and individually tell other apps to be on the SD card. Haven't tried it myself but it appears to be quite real.
Hi,
I am new here and did my best searching but couldn;t find a conclusive answer so i just need some suggestions about a way forward.
So far using Froyo's move to SD implementation I have managed to gain some space on the phone for more apps but i am still running out. I also have to use the slow Apps 2 SD application.
So my problem is I want more space for apps. Using adb, setting the install location to SD card helps provide some more but i have hit that limit too.
So, from what i've read so far, there is another symbolic link based method, that creates a partition on the SD card and then the phone appears to think its still on the phone.
I have a stock ROM and would prefer not having a custom ROM for now. What would be the suggested way of getting Apps2sdext functionality? I mean like installing a package after rooting.
I have read about rooting, and apps2sdext also seems to need root. But i'd really appreciate if somebody could drop some links as to what I could do. Here are my thoughts of what they might be:
Root phone
Format SD card with partitions
Install a2sd
Another question: is there no way of using Gparted, etc to resize partitions and create the ext4 partition on pc? As in before taking it to the phone? that way no need to reinstall some apps.
Ok so for now I see I can use Z4Root to root my phone. So i've sorted that part out.
I also saw on DarkTremor apps2sd page that stock roms need a custom init.rc. Where are the instructions for that?

I'm not quite sure. I'm not an A2SD user. But, here are my hunches/ideas/opinions:
I suggest you partition with the partitioner in the recovery image. A2SD may have trouble finding the ext partition when the layout is quite different from what it expects, though I'm not quite sure.
As for not having to reinstall apps, this is what I did prior to installing A2SD:
Move all apps to phone memory
Backup
Partition SD
Flash A2SD
Install A2SD (yes, I had to manually launch a2sd scripts --')
Done
Works as intended, but I've found that there wasn't a significant increase in free phone memory storage, but I'm very sure a2sd was applied.
So I went back to native A2SD.
Which leads me to say: I suggest flashing a custom ROM with A2SD integrated
Idk, maybe I just didn't give A2SD some time. Just try it out.
Hmmm interesting! Still digging up more info as i go along...
Ok so far I installed, z4root and it installs fine and does the whole root and restart thing.
Now when i browse from adb shell i still get the $ prompt and not the # prompt. But when i go into z4root it provides options for re-root and un-root...
UPDATE: well i found out that once the shell opens as $, you type su. When you do that look at your phone and accept the superuser request, otherwise permission denied appears on the pc screen. now i have the # prompt!!!
UPDATE: Got Clockworkmod running now! and exploring a2sd... i give up. cannot find a concise thing that says here's the script that you use after doing the clockworkmod. what do i do???
Hi,I came from megatron rom and is using CM7 rom now.Not sure partitioning of sd card work on stock rom but you can try.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone! Below is what I did.
Instructions: Download DarkTremor Apps2sd.zip file.
Then,Backup all your sd card contents on your PC.You MUST backup as partitioning of sd card will wipe the whole sd card.
Reboot in recovery and select partition sd card > Partition sd card again> Swap Size:Choose 0 (I'm not sure what the other numbers will do.) > Then 512mb for the next option.Then it will start partitioning. > After you're done,upgrade ext.2 to ext.3 > Then upgrade ext.3 to ext.4 > After that,connect usb or take out sd card and put DarkTremor apps2sd.zip file in the root of your sd card and then flash it!
DONE AND PROFIT!
Your internal storage should decrease very slowly because your apps are now 'tricked' into being installed on your sd card Hope this helps!
Sorted my problem out!!

So you did my method or what?
Nope actually not. Found a simpler method that's easier for noobs.
So here goes in very short since I don't have links
1. Split memory card into two partitions. I used 1GB. I did the partitioning on Ubuntu as it was much easier to just resize the partition using gparted. I am not sure what file systems are supported for the apps but i used ext3 for the 1GB. Backup should not be necessary but you are welcome to be careful
2. Root phone with z4root, very straightforward process
3. Install Link2SD from Android Market.
4. Once its installed, it'll prob ask for root permissions. Grant them.
5. Open Link2SD and in the list, one by one for each app you'd like to move, select and it opens a page with some details. Just click on create link, and in the next page an option for moving cache also shows. Select that too. Then the app gets moved in the background and slowly your space starts increasing.
6. I did not move any preinstalled apps that came with the phone. Just moving the apps I installed gave me plenty of space not to worry with App 2 SD (froyo method) or anything. Also with this method, mounting for USB Mass Storage also gets quicker.
What's there not to line?

I use a stock ROM (2.2.1) and I have rooted and installed "Move2SD Enabler" from the market and moved all the apps to SD (except for widgets) in the plain simple old fashion. I currently have over 150 apps installed with about 90MBytes of internal memory free.
I've been searching and reading various answers on the subject on different phones, but I wanted to know what worked best for Aria owners.
I've done the following:
1. using Cyanogen 7.1.0 factory reset the phone.
2. formatted the SD card to have a fat partition, ext partition and swap partition.
3. installed s2e and moved the checked the apps, private apps and dalvik cache to sd.
4. checked the 'Internal' on the storage location in the application settings.
5. Installed apps everything worked fine for a couple of days.
I've rebooted the phone today and all the apps I've installed on the SD card are gone, they don't appear in the drawer. Also all of their icons are switched to generic android icons.
I've read on different forums it's got to do with the launched running before the SD card is mounted on boot. some recommend moving back the apps to the SD, but I can't do that since I've got no access to S2E, and I have to use the SD card anyway since phone memory is so small. Also many of the threads were old so I've thought something may have been changed on new Android versions.
Is there any way to solve this? I don't have access to the market so I can't install anything from it.
I'd suggest moving only application and dalvik cache (not private apps) to see if it makes a difference.
Is your partition formatted as ext3 or ext4? Are you using the "mount as ext4" option in S2E?
partition formatted as ext3 and I've used mount as ext4.
is it preferable to format it to ext4?
how can private apps can cause a problem here?
I've now wiped the phone, re installed Cyanogen and Google apps.

I don't think it's the cause, but I'm just trying to eliminate anything that is different from the way I've set it up on my phone since I don't have that problem.
Personally I use an ext3 partition without the "mount as ext4" setting enabled. Perhaps that setting is causing your problems.
did you install the rom, apps and the s2e, or you install the rom, s2e and then started installing apps?
are you using the default adwlauncher or did you switched to a different launcher?
When I do a clean install I install apps before and after enabling S2E. It doesn't make a difference.
I've used several different launchers (including ADW EX) but not the built-in one.
do you enable in settings - Cyanogenmod settings - applications the following:
allow application moving - checked
install location - I select internal instead of automatic.
"Allow application moving" unchecked. That setting only makes it possible to move any application to the FAT32 partition, which you shouldn't be using at all.
Are you manually moving applications to SD card in application settings or something?
Maybe that's were the problem is. and you have the setting of install location on "Automatic" or on "Internal" ?
Please read this post where I explain the proper way to set up S2E when using it to move applications: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21667779&postcount=5
When you are selecting "move to SD" from the applications settings, you are moving the application to the FAT32 partition, which is NOT what you want. On its own, this wouldn't cause any applications to stop working though. However, since you enabled the "Allow application moving" setting, that forces the phone to allow you to move any app to the FAT32 partition, even if that app does not support it. When you move apps to the FAT32 partition that don't support it, those apps will stop working.
thx for the explanation.
If I'm setting up the s2e before installing any app, I can skip step no 4 as I understand it.
is there a real difference in performance/compatibility to the file system on the ext partition? I see threads here that mention that ext4 work without any problem.
should I format the card to ext2/ext3 or ext4 ?

ext4 should work fine. I only suggested moving to ext3 because you were having problems, but it sounds like that was unrelated.
Ok. I've formatted the card with gparted, wiped the phone, but no matter what I did S2E didn't show the Ext partition. I've finally used rom manager to partition the card and it worked fine.
I've checked the setting as you've recommended, and so far it seems fine. I'll have to wait and see if it doesn't shows up again after several more reboots.

read the entire thread, my problem was completely solved.
I am having this issue also - I goofed and checked the 'mount as ext4' for an ext3 partition. Now I can't see any apps, including the S2E app to uncheck it or the Play store app to download another copy so I can fix it.

Boot to recovery with SD card removed, and/or reformat the ext partition of the SD card from a computer.
Fast Boot option may be the culprit
I see folks here are deep into ext3/ext4 partitions and such (or at least you were a few months ago), and I hope it all works out great for you.
Just in case, here is a simple little fix that really helped me, without resorting to all the partitioning and reinstallation going on here.
Also, for what it's worth, I used ROM Manager Pro to auto-format the special "ext" partition on my sdcard when it was pristine, and since then have used Titanium Backup Pro to move apps to SD AFTER installing via Google Play Store or very occasionally side-installing .apk files.
CUT TO THE SOLUTION BELOW -- SEARCH FOR ////
Some (not all) of my apps moved to SD (all by Titanium Backup Pro) have begun to disappear and (sometimes) reappear without warning after I began to add and delete large Virtual Machines created in QEMU from my 16GB SanDisc class 10 microSD card on my HTC Droid Incredible running rooted stock Verizon Android Froyo 2.2.3. I know this thread is far from my phone's "home base", but from what I can tell this problem with disappearing apps located on an sdcard is NOT determined by hardware or even Android version.
I also happen to use LauncherPro by Federico Carnales instead of the built-in HTC Sense launcher. I noted elsewhere on XDA that a user had suggested that because at least some (maybe all) launchers start before the SD Card that this may be a problem, especially if changes are made to the sdcard that the launcher did not perform, or was not active during their performance by other apps such as Titanium Backup. That fits my situation, because I unmounted the SD, physically removed it to a PC, and added/deleted large VM files to save (lots) of time. No problems of this sort before I did this, so there must be some connection.
I noted that other users have tried reformatting SD, substituting different brands of SD, using newer/older SD etc. None of these reliably helped. So I skipped these options.
//// The (simple!) solution I tried that SEEMS to work (only time will tell!) is buried in the main Android Settings (accessed from the Menu button while in Home screen). Under "Applications" there is a setting "Fast Boot" that I checked long ago and forgot about (it seemed like a good thing to do at the time). The text warns "Turn off to use some Market apps" (that shows the age of my 2-yr old used phone and Android OS -- ohmygosh!-- because it refers to Market rather than Google Play Store!) Anyway, I unchecked the option and rebooted the phone.
Yes, it took a bit longer to boot (maybe a whole minute!), but after waiting about another minute ALL my home screen apps had normal icons and loaded properly. Titanium Backup Pro batch scenarios confirmed there were no apps in a forced uninstalled state (i.e. I had not done the deed, the system somehow had done it or at least rendered the apps "invisible" to Titanium, which decided they needed reinstallation).
The only odd behaviour was that auto brightness was turned off after I unchecked Fast Boot and rebooted. Going into Android Settings > Display and rechecking "auto brightness" took care of that. No other oddities or strange behaviours thus far (but it has only been about an hour).
I will report back here on this thread only (Samsung Fascinate > Fascinate Q&A > What just happend? apps on sdcard) if anything else requires reporting. Silence implies success!

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.
