How to install apps from MARKET to SD card, so we dont have to reinstall them each flashing

you need root! and a custom rom (MCR2.2 or 2.3 are my faves) these have apps2sd built in.

p.s your thread should be in Q&A NOT the Dev section

hi. i've partitioned my sd card as per the instructions on this website. prior to that, i'd installed the modaco rom version 2.2, which is meant to have apps2sd on it.

i thought that after partitioning my sd card my apps would automaticaaly get transferred to the sd card. but that doesn't seem to have happened. how do i go about making that happened. i don't want to reinstall the modaco rom, it should happen already shouldn't it?

also, where exactly is apps2sd on the modaco rom? i can't find it.

try booting your phone without the SD card in....are your apps still there?

apps2sd is built in to the rom, you dont need to run anything. It does it all by itself in the background.

thanks. I'll try that tomorrow. Before I do, just one other query. I thought that after partitioning the sd card, everything on it would get wiped. But the same folders (ther were only 2 before i partitioned it) are still there with the files in them!

which makes me think, did i successfully partition the card? there's no doubt that when i typed 'print' in the adb shell/ gparted after the partitioning process it gave a list of 3 partitions in the sd card. I basically followed the instructions to the letter. I won't be in a position to check again until tomorrow.

Just to be clear before I do something I may or may not regret, to get apps installed on the sd card, I need to partition it first, correct? Once it has been partitioned correctly, any app installations I do, say via the market, should go straight to the sd card? I'm running MCRv2.2.

Yes partition your card first. (FAT first, then EXT3 second)

they usually go to the SD card after a reboot i think.
AFAIK it is a script that is run during startup.

thanks alot for that.. i done a bit more research an have it all sorted.. cheers.. brett
