"pm" is not a internal or external command
I have made what u say but it gave me permission denied
whats now?

As I See YOu Directly Type : pm set install location 2 , you must type 1 . adb devices 2 . adb shell, 3. pm set install location 2...
that method 100% works on Xperia Arc/S ...
P.S
now i will upload images that must be installed before doing anything,,, open sdk tools and install these packages which you see installed on my pics...firstly see maybe if you have already installed...

Awesone, man!
That 's exactly what i want to see! While i am searching about ext of sd card, fortunately, i see it! Now, I don't need to worry about the lowness of internal memory and I don't need to do too many steps to make a ext, too! Thanks! Your way is easier and more convinent so much!
thanks!
Was looking for this/ similar. Thanks a lot
This is just my opinion:
The MOD is worth trying but...
I have done this modification twice and was able to move more apps to my SD-Card.
Both times I felt the performance of all my apps was reduced enough for me to revert back.
The sluggishness was subtle but I felt my normally zippy phone was slower.
I also felt there was a lag even when my Arc S was overclocked (1.6ghz) and I applied several different SD cache settings (SD 32gig, Class 10).
In the long run, I am better off managing the the number of necessary apps and keeping things zippy.
Thanks for the guide, the mode may work for others.
Xperia Arc S, Vengeance Kernel.
Kind Regards,
i wil try it soon in my arc:highfive:

So i'm thinking of setting up Apps2SD on my Hero.
I have a fast SD card, and the latest recovery image (see sig)
To get it correctly working what do I do?
Is it:
1. Go into recovery mode
2. Partition sdcard > Partition sd
3. Swap-size ?
Ext2-size: 512 ?
FAT32-size remainder?
4. Then reflash Villain ROM?
or will it go automatically without a re-flash?
Please edit as appropriate.
Firstly this should be in the Q&A section not android development.
I dont use swap,i havent since i stopped using the Magic.So personally i would and have chosen 0 i found using swap made Rosie restart whenever i exited a HTC app.
EXT i would have 128 or 256.
REMAINDER FAT32
The process you have given is right all u have to do if see if the rom you want has apps2sd.Install the rom through ADB
adb remount
adb shell
su
(press always allow on the phone)
apps2sd on
it will say something like done please reboot.
Reboot your phone and it should be done!

This is in Q&A ...
I have read that 512 EXT is recommended for A2SD so i'll stick with that. Thanks for the info about swap.
I know the rom i am using has a2sd, so if i repartition the sd then do the adb commands in recovery mode, or whilst in the os?
Ah my bad bout Q&A Section...
Enter those commands in the android OS using ADB

HOW-TO Root the Slide
(MAC OSX FLAVORED) KAPOWWW!!!!
&
Android SDK on Mac
STEP 1.
Download Android SDK from here.
STEP 2.
Unzip it. Place the folder it creates in your Documents folder and rename it AndroidSDK or SDK. (Something Easy)
SUCCESS!!! Android SDK Installed… //WTF!!??!!
STEP 3.
Download This Package > Slide Root.zip
Place the Contents of "Slide Root.zip" into your Android SDK Tools folder.
(These five files need to be placed DIRECTLY into the AndroidSDK/tools/ folder)
STEP 4.
RENAME Loop.bat to Loop.sh, then right click, open with TEXTEDIT.
Delete it’s contents and replace it with
#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]
do
adb devices
done
Save and Close the File.
STEP 5.
On your Slide, GO TO Settings > Application > Development and turn on USB Debugging.
This should save you headaches.
NOW… Power Off the Slide
STEP 6.
OPEN Terminal
(APPLE + SPACE and type Terminal, press enter.)
Now, CD to the SDK/Tools Directory.
It should be where we left it.
/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Documents/AndroidSDK/tools/
Terminal SHOULD open with it already in your USERNAME
Type cd Documents/AndroidSDK/tools/
STEP 7.
Power On the Slide into the Bootloader by Holding Down ( Volume Down + Power Button )
STEP 8.
NOW run your loop file (the one we made earlier)
The Terminal should be all queued up to the Tools folder.
Type in ./loop.sh
(The Terminal should be blowing up with List of Devices Attached over and over)
STEP 9.
Once your loop is running, select Recovery from the bootloader menu.
(Volume UP & DOWN to change selection and POWER to Select)
STEP 10.
When recovery loads, you should Have an Offline Device.
The Slide’s screen will have a picture of a Phone and RED triangle around a !
(Don’t freak out, this is a good thing.)
Hit Ctrl + C to stop your script & see.
If this doesn't happen, Power Off and try again from STEP 7.
STEP 11.
Un-plug your USB cable from your Slide & Plug it back in for it to Detect ADB Correctly!!!
IMPORTANTE!!!
At this point you can adb devices to see if it detects your device and that it is in recovery mode.
Type into Terminal ./adb devices
If it says recovery you are golden and move onto STEP 12 to kick the habit.
If not, rinse and repeat from STEP 7.
STEP 12.
Select Update.zip from the menu. (This will fail, but we already know that! Select it anyway).
STEP 13.
Type into Terminal
./adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip
STEP 14.
Type into Terminal
./adb push slideroot.zip /sdcard
STEP 15.
MUY IMPORTANTE!!!
Have this Command ready in your Terminal before applying update.zip again!!
./adb push update.zip /sdcard
STEP 16.
On your Slide, Hit run update.zip
As soon as you see A Little Bar appear behind the text
Push ENTER to execute the Terminal command
(./adb push update.zip /sdcard )
STEP 17.
If successful, you should see Clockwork Recovery.
If unsuccessful, repeat steps 13-16.
STEP 18.
In Clockworkmod Recovery,
Go to the Partitions menu and Mount System
(It should be at the top and the only one not mounted.)
STEP 19.
Go one level back & select install any zip from sdcard.
Select slideroot.zip & apply update from zip
(This will finish the Root process).
STEP 20.
Reboot your phone & wait for it to load completely.
To confirm that your slide is connected as a device use the command ./adb devices
If this works, you will see it as a device. Your prompt will say something like:
$ ./adb devices
List of devices attached
HT05YUP12710 device
STEP 21.
./adb install Superuser.apk
(If it says it cannot locate directories, make sure you can find your device
using ./adb devices… If things still don't work, my best advice is to start over)
STEP 22.
After Superuser is installed try to use adb to shell to your device.
Type in Terminal
./adb shell
you will get a $
Then type su
On the Slide, Superuser should pop-up asking if you give permission, do so.
In Terminal, your $ should turn into a #. If so, you have root. WOOT!!!
Original SHOUT OUTS!!!

I don't understand the need for a separate post when the only difference between osx and windows is that osx uses a shell script and windows a batch file and osx is discussed in the post about rooting.

Five different people asked for it so they got it.
Thanks!
Thanks a bunch for the tutorial! We really do appreciate it. I just had a couple questions about 2 of the steps.
STEP 6.
OPEN Terminal
(APPLE + SPACE and type Terminal, press enter.)
Now, CD to the SDK/Tools Directory.
It should be where we left it.
/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Documents/AndroidSDK/tools/
Terminal SHOULD open with it already in your USERNAME
Type cd Documents/AndroidSDK/tools/
I got lost where it says "Now, CD to the SDK/Tools Directory." I do not really know what the CD means and what I should be typing into Terminal?
Also should my phone already be plugged in to my Mac?
Please let me know and thanks!
Thanks a bunch for this tutorial. I am about to try to ROOT, it should go over smoothly. Now from the ROOT what else have you guys been doing to you're Slide? I know Cyanogen has not said much, that is who I used for my myTouch 3G and my G1.

I flashed the Eng Build, then SlideMEROOT2 and then the new radio (you need this). Just follow the how-to's already posted, but remember to type ./ before the commands in Terminal.
Ex. ./adb devices Instead of adb devices.
There were a couple people who were trying to keep their original stock rom, but slidemeroot2 is basically the original rom. Plus, someone posted the original stock backup, so flash away.

It's no more "wrong" than your code...
The first assumes that you've configured your shell to link the "adb" command to the adb "app" in the sdk/tools directory. Your code assumes that you will be activating the script while "within" that very directory.
The code, IMHO, should read:
Code:
...
[PATH TO SDK/TOOLS/]adb devices
...
And the OS X user should be instructed to insert their own path.

WRONG the code running in the shell is to continuously run adb devices... which to do so correctly would have to be implemented with ./ in front to run correctly on a mac... dont try to correct what is right i will school u
and seeing as he clearly instructs u to place those apps within the tools folder and "cd" to it... means that the user should have those commands ready at hand which is included in the folder...

Ur right.. that is the right way..
also for those of u having problems with the loop step where it never sticks... try a different memory card... i was having problems with the stock card... so i tried a different card and it worked perfectly... with no problems

LOL. Okay, tough guy.
The fact is that the active directory in your terminal is irrelevant to the actual rooting process. If you want to argue about it, have at it. I really don't care.
Yes, in terminal you must type ./adb devices, but within the .sh you can just issue adb devices and it works just fine. It is because you are issuing a command from within a script and OS X understands you better when you use them.
As for the memory card trick everyone is perpetuating, tis but a superstition and whatever floats your boat, while you attempt to get adb to stick. When I rooted mine, it took five to ten tries. Rooting my girlfriend's, on the other hand, took nearly 15-20 min for it to catch.

within the shell command command it has to be ./adb devices or it fails at command line 4 which is the problem i was having until i changed it in the shell and it worked... along with a few others...
and as far as the memory card thats the issue... i tried 5 different memory cards one always worked the others never stuck... it may have something to do with the way the memory card is coded... my 16gb mem card out my hd2 is the only one that worked... not really a superstition

The memory card has nothing to do with the rooting process whatsoever. With that said, a lot of the memory cards shipping with the slides are misformated. The first thing I did was backup my card, swap it out with a class 10 16 GB card and set up a 1GB ext4 partition. Then I copied the files back to the FAT partition and all was well.

Oy vey. Seriously? The rooting process is a hit or miss operation. Your sdcard doesn't even come into play for a second. You could probably remove the darn thing and be successful.
Please, for heaven's sake, just listen to sk8rbebop, myself or any of the numerous other people saying in no uncertain terms that the sdcard issue is a myth. Don't perpetuate something that is entirely unrooted in reality.
Sheesh...

how can it be unrooted in reality when in reality it works and im proving that... its mighty funny that it doesnt stick unless this specific memory card is in my device... and u stating that it doesnt come into play is wrong... when u load ur phone into bootloader it does check ur "memory card" for an nbh image which is where i believe the problem lies... it accesses ur memory card just like the og mytouch did to locate a gold card... dont argue with me when it is just another work around that just may work seeing as IM PROVING THAT IT DOES INDEED WORK

Oy vey. Fine, believe what you want. What's *actually* helping you root the device is sticking gum on your nose, turning your baseball cap backwards, rubbing your lucky rabbit foot and reciting the pledge of allegiance. You just haven't realized it yet.

i wasn't able to find any thread about app2sd being used in xplay. has anyone tried it yet?
most of us just use.
adb shell set pmInstallLocation 2
Does this alternative method break the widgets like a2sd does?
I've rooted my Xperia Play and removed bloatware etc.
I also installed app2sd. I believe you can run it without rooting, but i've never tried.
Works fine for me.
Anything that can be moved to the sd card, it will move it to the sd card.
So yea, works fine.
sort of, when you "next" install an app if it can be installed to sd it will be, but you will need to install all your old apps to sd manually through applications/manage move to SD
Guys your missing the point. For starters apps2sd+ is much faster than googles version because it uses androids native file system, it also lets you move the dalvik cache to the sd ext. And most importantly it lets you move widgets and apps you wish to sync to the sd card

Can you tell me, where i can download app2sd+ ? I heard a lot about it but i never actually saw this app. Im planning to buy Xperia pro and this is quite a problem but it wouldnt be, if i will have 32GB sdcard and this working app.

First way you'll first get shell, then you have to execute second line command, and exit the shell with exit command.
Second way you send set pm... command to the shell and it automatically closes without you having to exit it manually - like a .bat file on Windows, or .sh on Linux.

Sorry guys this no longer works...
Ubuntu removed alot of the files needed to run it on a phone off of their website which is why you are getting the errors on the script to try and install it.
Recapped:
Here's what I mean the website the script is going to to get the files no longer exists...
Heres an example to see for yourself: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/universe/t/tightvnc/tightvncserver_1.3.9-4_armel.deb
I will try and find a new link to plug in but for now it DOES NOT WORK!

-Disclaimer-
This has been tested on my phone and runs perfectly fine, I am not responsible for you breaking, bricking, or dropping your phone on the floor and causing the USB cable to fall out and blow up your device.
Pre Requirements:
A rooted HTC EVO 3D or Sensation 4G
A S-off'd HTC EVO 3D or Sensation 4G
netarchy's kernel (Silverneedle Test5)
Android SDK
The USB drivers for your phone. (x32) (x64)
A microSD Card
2.3 GB Free of space on your microSD card
Know how to read to directions
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The intense Procedure:
1. Download this version of Ubuntu. [Download #1] [Download #2]
2. Unzip the Ubuntu folder to your desktop and if you want, delete the compressed one you downloaded.
3. On your phone go to Settings > Applications > Development and turn on USB debugging.
4. Plug in your USB cable (from your computer to your phone) and mount your (mirco)SD card.
5. Move or copy over the unzipped / normal Ubuntu folder. This will take a long time unless you have a class10 microSD card.
6. After moving / copying that file over, tell your phone to unmount the (micro)SD card / Set the phone to Charge Only mode.
7. Now on your computer, go to where you have Android SDK installed. (Example on my computer: E:\Program Files (X86)\Android\android-sdk )
8. When in the main SDK folder, hold shift and right click a blank area and then click on "open command window here". It should of opened the command line window with the directory of your SDK already put in. If not type cd "C:\Your directory or location of your SDK"
9. Now type "cd platform-tools"
9.5. (Optional) "type adb devices" and check if the computer recognizes your phone. If not you need to reinstall your drivers from the download link above in the requirements.
10. Type "adb shell"
11. Type "su" so we have superuser permissions
12. Type "cd /sdcard" so the directory is changed to the (micro)SD card
13. Type "cd ubuntu" so the directory is changed to the Ubuntu File
14. Type "sh ubuntu.sh" so we can install Ubuntu
15. Type "bootubuntu" to start up Ubuntu. Next time you enter Ubuntu, you just need to type "bootubuntu" from your /sdcard/ubuntu directory, there is no need to run ubuntu.sh again.
16. If you got "[email protected]" in the command line, you have sucessfully installed Ubuntu. If not make sure you installed netarchy's kernel. If it still does not install correctly please try a different ROM, I have only tested this on SteelROM 1.1. *AFTER INSTALLING ANY ROM, YOU NEED TO REINTALL THE KERNEL.*
17. Now type "apt-get update" to update Ubuntu to the latest version. Then "apt-get upgrade" to apply the update.
18. Type "apt-get install tightvncserver" to install the vncserver. (Your telling your phone to read off it self pretty much.)
19. Type "export USER=root" To make yourself a user / the user
20. Type "vncserver -geometry 1024×800" to set the screen resolution you want to display on your phone. Remember you can always zoom in by pinching, so you don't need to make this that much smaller. You should also get prompted to set a password, do so. You will need to remember this password to log in.
21. Download the AndroidVNC Viewer off the Market here.
22. Open the viewer, and put in a nickname, your PASSWORD FROM ABOVE, and for the IP Address put: 127.0.0.1 for the port put 5901. THEN SCROLL DOWN and make the COLOR FORMAT 24-bit colors (4bpp).
And finally, hit Connect to launch Ubuntu on your phone!
For Mac users:
Finder -> Applications -> Utilities (folder) -> Terminal
When you cd to where your adb is located, cd is lowercase as are most all unix commands.
If you're unsure where to go, get to adb in your Finder, right-click, get info, the pop-up will show you the path. Note in unix that the folders (subdirectories) are separated by / and not by \ like in Windows.
Once you're there, the only trick you need to know is to tell unix that adb is located where you are, so you change the adb shell command like this:
./adb shell
That's about it, all other instructions once you're inside the phone shell are the same.
OBTW - after the unzip of the initial file from the OP, just drag and drop the whole ubuntu folder to your NO NAME drive (normal sd card formatting doesn't get a name at the factory, so by now you know that your sd card mounts like that anyways I'd suppose - just put it here in case).

I posted a different script a few pages back that I think will help you guys. I modified it so we should have no trouble with apps in sd.. I finally got a bigger sdcard so I can test this stuff and this script works great. Please guys try this script. If you download it in phone it will change the name and add a bin on it I think, so rename it accordingly and make sure it gets into /system/bin with the right permissions (755 or rwxr-xr-x), then run it

FAQS
FAQS
Do I need to have everything in the android-sdk downloaded and installed?
No, you just need to have the base sdk.
When I tell the command prompt to adb devices, my phone does not show up!!
Make sure you have installed the proper drivers for your phone and for your correct operating system
I'm not getting "[email protected]" when I type / copy-&-paste "bootubuntu"
Well, this could be for a various amount of reasons, first make sure you have a rooted HTC EVO 3D/Sensation. And by root, I mean a full root, not just a temp root or S-off. If you still do not get "[email protected]", flash your device (or go though your data folder and delete all the ubuntu files, then delete the ubuntu file off of your sd card and clear your caches.), and retry the above steps. If the problem still persists, then please PM me with your exact problem.
I'm having issues within the VNC, and I get an error message when I hit "connect".
Make sure you typed your password correctly, the passwords are case sensitive. If you still cannot get in, make sure your IP Adress is set to "127.0.0.1" and your Port(s) are "5901".
The colors on my screen look all weird and disorientated, how do I fix this?
Close Ubuntu, and re-open the VNC application, then scroll down to "Color Format" and tap on "24-bit color (4 bpp)".
The on-screen keyboard does not work and I get a different letter or character for whatever character I type!
The on-screen keyboard will work now, if you install LXDE.
I'm not good with reading text! I need a video demonstration!
For a video head here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbunTRzEQCI
How do I close Ubuntu?
Two options here:
1.Logout of the server and go to your homescreen and push menu, then go to settings, then Applications, then Running Services and close any remaining open part of the server program. The service may re-open later, do not close it though. It won't use up a noticable amount of RAM, just enough to make sure the application opens quick again.
2. Logout of the server and use your favorite task killer to close the server process. The service may re-open later, do not close it though. It won't use up a noticable amount of RAM, just enough to make sure the application opens quick again.
FAQS should be in order chronologically (until the end of them).
I would like to give a huge thanks to EarlyMon, for helping out lost members. This thread would not be as peaceful if it were not for him.
And it seems I have forgotten to list another VERY helpful person here, danaff37. I am really grateful to both of these two for all of the help and work they have done to aid others.
Am I missing a question that you are pretty sure is asked ALOT (lol)? Then PM me please and I'll get it up here ASAP!

Haven't looked at the bootubuntu script yet, but I know a lot of these couldn't work if you had any apps on sdcard at all. Each app moved to sd takes a loop device.

Just moved partially like moving to the SD or Actually having them Downloaded and Installed to the SD?

Cool...
But, why.
Cause you can?

Because Ubuntu has some computer applications you can't normally use on your phone. In the browser download Java and check out runescape runs like shizzle but once we get new quad phones out I'm sure it would run fine. lol
This is what I wanted. Million thanks....

Using the stock apps to sd like under manage applications (like the same as is available on a non rooted phone). The script for ch rooting can be made to work around it though. But most aren't.

If there are any small minor problems like that and it's not working proper, let me know. I'll mess around with some things and release a patch.

The only way to get around it atm (at the moment) is to use a bluetooth keyboard.
Very sweet! I will test this tomorrow when I get home. It should work on my ROM as well
Nice....can't wait for the keyboard fix.
hello i have moto e ... this is a good phone in a low budget.. but the app installing option is really pathetic... i could not install high end games on my device ... thus i found a way a way to change the default app install storage .. using adb shell ...
using these commands
adb devices
adb shell pm set-install-location 2
adb shell pm get-install-location
then it shows 2 [external]
then i tried to install whats app it installed in ext sd ..but all other apps were installig in phone internal memory..:crying:
then again i used those adb commands.. as written bellow
adb devices
adb shell pm set-install-location 0
adb shell pm get-install-location
it shows 0[auto]
but all apps are installing in internal ..except subway surfer... and the "move to sdcard" option is not working for all apps.. i mean this option is not highlighted ... or not available.. but before doing this all adb commands it was possible to move some apps on sd ... :crying: now it is not possible for any app. for example messenger app is not possible to move ... some please help ... give me a perfect solution for this issue ..... i wanna move my apps on my sd..
Yeah.. In Kitkat there is restriction to move apps to sd. To overcome that restriction follow these steps :
1) go to my thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/guide-apps-games-to-sdcard-completely-t2869925 and download the app after reading instrctions.
2) install app and that's it. the settings are changed. Now install link2sd or any other app that moves apps to sdcard by native app2sd method. This works on Moto E as i had tested it.
3) Press THANKS to support me.
