Default Root/ Froyo question

I currently have a R3 Rom with A2SD on it. The only i rooted was that i can install A2SD on it to have apps on the SD.

But since froyo will allow for apps on the SD, is it better for me to install the original froyo rom rather than an aftermarket?

The stock froyo roms idea of a2sd is crap!

It only allows you to put certain apps on SD, and then only after the app developer has made it possible in their app.

You can flash a custom froyo with the old a2sd. A good combination in my opinion!

You do realize that's how it's supposed to work, right? I've had no issues with it, and neither should anyone else who has at least 2MB free on their device.

So how does it work, does it work with every app?

No, only those that have the option enabled by the dev. Just go to Applications > Manage Applications. Then, if you tap on one, you'll see a Move to SD button. If it's not greyed out, and the app isn't/doesn't include a widget, you can move it. If not, no. You can probably move most apps you find under Downloads there.
