It is already included in ROM [Froyo] DJ DROID v1.0-R1 BETA - with HTC Sense - HD 720p - base 2.04.

Requirements:

• root
• froyo
• USB debugging (Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Developement -> Check USB debugging. Thx pexon).

Let me know what you think

Does this still keep the dalvik files on the faster internal storage?, i've been looking for such a solution.

not certain, give feedback.

I tested with google skymaps because i know it likes to install to sd with froyo. So I set it to install to internal memory before installing skymaps and it still installed to sd. Although it did open up the option to move to phone in application settings and that worked!!

I dont think that option worked before installing this app. Could be wrong

I tried the tool also.

After setting the option to install to SD I installed the IMDB tool and PicSay.
Both gave the error 'Application was not installed'. When I switched it to internal memory, they installed just fine.

However I don't see the option to move a program. I'm looking in Settings>Application settings>Manage applications and then selecting a tool. The 'Move to SD card' is not available, not for the old tools I installed as for the both tools I did after installing this setinstalllocation tool.

Any bright ideas?
The SD card is formatted with several partitions to make it all run so I don't know why it won't work.

by default isnt the .apk designed to install in certain locations either NAND or SD. depending on where the programmer desires to have it put?

I've been using this for some weeks and it's just great.

Can you give any examples of programs you used it for and to which location you moved it?
