HOWTO: Automated APPS to SD (EASY!!!!)

[egyptianbman]

NOTE:
1. Must have a rooted phone
2. Must have two partitions on the sd card (fat32 for everything, and ext2 for "expanding" the phone's memory).
3. Must have Android SDK installed (so that adb will work)

Ok.. So I got sick of all the commands running back and forth. I found that I'm wiping my phone several times testing out new things and didn't want to continuously put in all these commands to get the apps to sd thing to work.

Therefore, I created a file to automatically do it for me!!! I just run this file with the usb connected to the phone, and let it run all the commands.

I've attached a file "tmp.zip". Download this file and extract it to your c:

The folder it extracts NEEDS to be at c:/tmp

After extracting, navigate to the folder and double click on "appsToSD1.bat". Follow the instructions and you'll be on your way.

I hope this helps!!!!

EXCELLENT!!! I have already set my apps to sd... but I always welcome alternatives. Good work. I can't wait to try it out some time.
Thanks!

looking at the bat, it looks just like the commands from that other thread. Any1 game to try and share if it it works =]?

[SpyderMS]

Nice, I might finally try this when I get home today...

[androidmonkey]

Anyone try this out yet?

[modem_over]

Failure, after last reboot i am stuck at the flashing android loader.

I did verify i was all the stuff the bat file said to look for

Ive been struggling with this for three days, using paragon how exactly do you partition a card it says mines has been partitioned and showes the ext2 and the fat32 both as being primary but It wont show on busybox as my previous post above states, from there how do I go on to complete apps on sd card, it just aint working for me Im getting frustrated

Since ext2 is a linux partition I would use a Live Ubunut CD to partition the card. This is the safest bet.
