Question [Q] Move "un-movable" apps to SD-card?

Some apps can't be moved to SD-card via apps2sd or what that app is called. Is there any other way you can move those apps to your sd-card?

Some apps cannot be moved to the SD card even when you have used the "pm setInstallLocation 2" command using adb, alot of widget, live wallpapers, some social networking apps like tweetcaster, and system maintenence apps all install to /data no matter what, to save space usually i push these apps to /system/app that way they work correctly as they are installed to the nand, but they dont take the space up in data ]

I hope soon someone will get apps2sd working on our devices, this symlinks /data/app/ and /data/dalvikcache/ to and ext partition on your sd card and not only saves space, but you dont have to worry about the install location of an app you may want to start at boot or sync using the native android sync settings
