did you move the cache? or did you move /data/data? there's a difference and you shouldn't do both .. if you moved /data/data over then just undo that and the market should be fine
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
I just ran

copy.sh app

copy.sh data

and it did the rest is what I did.

I got a little frustrated and did a factory wipe. Tried it again with no apps installed to see if something got stuck somewhere and had the same results.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
might not be able to do "copy.sh data" as some people have had problems moving over the /data/data portion .. try just the app portion and it should be fine
[G1 Android Development] :
Just trying to be sure if I dont have my card partitioned and I install this rom it will hang on the g1 screen right.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
if your card is not partitioned, you have no need for this modified update.zip
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
Yeah I've noticed that after a few tries. Thanks for all your help and the app moving worked perfectly. Cache is another story and I don't want to be greedy so I'll leave it alone for a while. :D
[G1 Android Development] mrmikemcguire:
So after trial and error i believe that I have successfully switched apps to my sd card.

however, i havent been able to confirm this. I did notice that my phone will only restart fully with the SD card in the phone. When I take it out it will only hang on the tmobile g1 screen.

I didnt get any errors, actually i got DONE in the Terminal emulator when transfered apps. i then cmd reboot and it rebooted normally. I took the sd card out and it now hangs. If i put the sd card back in, it will start no prob.

I remember seeing a post about this but didnt see anything after it. Is this just something that goes along with apps to sd or is this boot issue wrong?
[G1 Android Development] question.com:
something very odd just occurred. Ive been runing my apps and cache from the sd for a while. today i went to make a call and my wallpaper changed. when i double check everything, everything is force closing. I turned off the phone and waited to to get home.

Now i see my partition is gone. I still have the fat 32 side, but my ext2 is no were to be found. im gonna wipe my phone, format my card, and start over. i have no idea what could have made this happen.
[G1 Android Development] question.com:
so my sd card def bit the dust. gonna have to call transcend so they can send me a replacement. this is ridiculous. ill rock the internal memory for a while till i get my new card from them.
[G1 Android Development] nehctuk:
i know prob not lol

im not saying that some could do this but cant someone just copy the apps on on there sd card and then refund it and get it for free? so why does google not block people from doing this? :confused:

Update question

Hi this is slightly off topic? I have completed this mod and I am now running app's from my SD I am in UK and on your moded RC9 and thanks for all the work you do My question it what will happen when its update time? I use your app from the market place to check for updates will I b able to download your normal image and keep the ability to run apps on SD? or do I need to wait for your modded update on the forum?
[G1 Android Development] Seventynin9:
Edit: Found the answer I needed. Thanks for all the great post. I am a noob. Learning a lot from these posts.
[G1 Android Development] free_man:
Since yesterday I can't access my downloads section of the market app everything else works I get a server error has occured pls retrt or cancel to go to the previous page. So - don't know if is a google server problem or is because I have app on sdcard. So right know I can search for market apps but I cannot unistal using market app I can upgrade manually each app but I don't get any notification about updates unless I search each app for updates.
[G1 Android Development] naars90:
hi...okay, I've got my card partitioned and everything...did the scripts and now my internal storage keeps going down everytime I install an app? It wasnt a problem before....
[G1 Android Development] :
to undo the process do i do copy.sh app followed by copy.sh undoapp or just copy.sh undoapp
[G1 Android Development] free_man:
it was a google problem
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
you only need undoapp .. um .. unless i'm missing something .. so just make sure you have enough space on your phone to transfer apps back or else you will have problems .. obviously if you have too many apps installed they won't transfer back
[G1 Android Development] dashed:
Can someone tell me how I move my data back to the phone storage? I moved my apps, data, and dalvik to the sd and ever since then my browser has been extremely slow and my market begin to force close.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
very simple .. flash my version of JFs stuff and do copy.sh undodata

Apps on SD Card, NOW WHAT?

After using the "apps to sdcard" application from the market, all of my apps seemed to be moved onto my sdcard. However, now how do I get them back onto my phone to be used? Is it only the .apk files that got moved to the sdcard? If so, do I have to reinstall every application 1 by 1? I can't seem to find an app in the market to help me with this. Please someone, throw me a bone. I'd really appreciate it. It took me forever to do this, now I just want my apps back!! I just have a bunch of blank shortcuts on my home app which is now default and not dxtop understandably. Please let me know. Thanks and Cheers!

Are you using a the MODDED JF Rom??
[G1 Android Development] G1Dennis:

[G1 Android Development] tranquilchaos:
Yes, it's actually the JF1.42_RC33 located on LucidREM's article explaining "apps to sdcard". It all worked. I have 64mb free after moving both the apps and cache. I ended up re-d/ling everything since then anyways but I'd like to clear all those files so its not just dead space.

Also, has anyone heard of the phone randomly downloading older versions of apps? This is the 2nd phone I've had that does this. It'll just start downloading/installing apps I've previously downloaded (uninstalled ones or old versions). I asked T-Mobile support and they thought I was crazy.

A little help with these problems would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Sandisk SDHC 16 GB class 2

Hello,

I have a Sandisk 16 GB class 2 Micro SD card in my phone. Wil this card be to slow for moving App's to SD?

Greetings,
[G1 Android Development] prep.krypton:
I've been considering doing this for the past two days. I finally did...but I don't think I did it correctly. I have Windows XP and I used Ubuntu. Which partition is suppose to be the primary partition?

It would be very helpful if someone could give me a step by step tutorial (I looked onyoutube and the only ones i saw were for the Wii)

P.S. I was going to look through this thread - but its 82 pages. So I'm sorry if it has already been asked.

Hello guys, i would like to ask your help, today i followed a post by jdc4429 to allocate my app in my sdcard, i downloaded the file ANDROID2SD.ZIP, which contains the files app2sd1.bat & app2sd2.bat, cache2EXT2.bat, data2EXT2.bat i followed the instructions and i finally could install my apps into my sdcard but when i was using my ahome i realized that it make me close the applications a lot of times, the last time it said something force or wait i clicked in force and it seems was stick so i rebooted and then it couldnt enter to the system, it showed the android image, the green one, one and more times, its seems is loading but then it showed again, the problem probably is the microsd, cause it seems the system is trying to boot from the sd which i dont understand, i tried to take out my sdcard but then the system seems to not load, cause it only show me my boot image not enter to the green android, i entered to fastboot but my phone is not in debuging mode cause the last time i unchecked that option, now i dont know what to do...im wondering if i delete the partition i made, it could resolve the problem, but i didnt try im afraid to break my phone, i also wanted to upgrade from the bootloader with an NBH but i dont know if that will resolve the problem i have a rooted phone with hardspl, everything was working fine before i allocate my apps in my sdcard, please please i need some help...i cant use my phone now, i feel so sad...buuu.

NEED HELP ASAP ! my phone was running really slow and i decided to restart it and when i was booting up it was flashing on the android sign and now the phones doesnt wanna work. I tried already to wipe and reinstall the OS and apply the ls -l /system/sd/app and the ls -l /system/sd/data and reboot it. i see that the application are back BUT ! it keeps giving errors and asking me to force close a bunch of stuff when the phone is booting up. i need some help fixing my back how it was.

i also would like to get my data back, like the configurations on the applications such as Astrid (to-do list software)

i am also see some applications not installed and not showing their icons....

please help ASAP

help. i wish i would've seen this thread before this one

i used This Thread before I saw yours and now im scared!!!

can someone help me???

i was rooted on rc 33 jf 1.42

i prepared my Class 6 8G card on my MAC using disk utility then 2 partitions half (3.43G or whatever)on FAT 1st then second half (3.whatever) as ext2

i was trying to do the apps to sd card thing and after doin all of the terminal commands (i got to the point right after seeing how much space i have on my sd card and internal) this was my next step:

busybox cp -a /data/app /system/sd

rm -r /data/app

ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app

but after doin it it kept saying "no space on memory" or somethin so i went to internet cleared cache, forms, cookies, and history then restarted to make sure the terminal knew (noobish)

and it just froze at the G1 splash screen...HELP!!!!!

something like this happened to me when i downloaded a theme and i just reinstalled my original modded rc33 firm and it was fixed, but this time it did the same thing. i can still pull up the system recovery utility screen so im wondering if theres anything i can type in the log (alt+L) or console (alt+x)
[G1 Android Development] ESKIMOn00b:
ext2 partition cant be more than 1.5G 800meg is Plenty... ive got like 715 or whatever paragon rounded 700m to
[G1 Android Development] CharonTheGreat:
could that be the reason its stuck at splash screen? i cant get past that so theres no way for me to go to home screen and terminal, so are there any commands i could input from the log or console in the restore screen (the one that pops up when holding home button on startup?) if so id greatly appreciate it!!!:(
[G1 Android Development] ESKIMOn00b:
not really sure, but i know that partitioning ext2 to a large partition causes problems, and i know once you move apps to sd and you remove sd (or make it so the phone cant access it, in the case of making ext2 too large) the phone will not boot because it cannot find the applications
[G1 Android Development] ESKIMOn00b:
so i finally got my sd card partitioned to ext2 and flashed this ROM, now whenever an app requests root access the superuser whitelist app force closes and doesnt allow whatever requested root access to have it.... any ideas, suggestions, help?
[G1 Android Development] CharonTheGreat:
oooh ok i see now...:( what should i do? would repartitioning it smaller help? is there a particular firmware i could restore to to fix my problem, because i tried re-installing JF1.42 rc33 but that wouldn't helpp..

:confused:or is there maybe a set or single command(s) i could input into the log on the screen after restarting with power+home

:confused:or even something to do in the bootloader (power+camera button)
[G1 Android Development] joadchob:
Im having the same problem my phone stock at splash screen, i cant get access to my home screen, and the problem started cause i allocated my apps to the sd card and it made me close many times, then one day simple started to stock in the splash screen i made a hard reset and i entered to my phone but it seems application was still running in the ext 2 anyway i took off my sdcard and reformat to fat32 and eliminate the ext2 partition, and then i tried to put it to my phone and my phone didint recognized...so what i did.i reboot my phone and once again i got the splash screen, now im stock, phone is not working but i read about NANDROID and i guess i will try that today..but im afraid to install something that make lose my root access i have jeses freke rc33, with firmware 1.1 and mode recovery 1.2 and i have nandroid and all the drivers...does anyone know how to repair this problem...
[G1 Android Development] CharonTheGreat:
:confused:could you tell me how to install the NANDROID thing? i dont mind losing root bc i can always redo that (or at the very least have a phone back)?? if you figure anything out could you let me know how and what you did it would very much be appreciated..:(
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
the EXT2 partition needs to be smaller than 2G firstly .. secondly make sure both /data/app & /data/app-private are both moved over .. people have had problems moving the /data/app without the other one
[G1 Android Development] CharonTheGreat:
how can i do this?? the only thing im able to access is the bootloader stuff and restore utility stuff (holding home when starting up) id love to try this nandroid restore thing, but i have no clue on the first step. i dont have any ROMs or anything i just have jf's rc33 mod and root. id love to try a easy step by step method that's understandable
[G1 Android Development] joadchob:
well both are desperate, i cant use my phone for 3 days i guess, well yesterday it worked until i delete the ext2 partition, anyway try to make a hard reset, maybe that can help you. Enter to recovery mode (home + power ) then ALT + W..by the way u must have SPL bootengineering or hardspl...
[G1 Android Development] acanz:
I just have 3 quick questions, I did everything and have the apps on my sd card running fine but say I install more ones and then move them over will that overwrite or interfere with the apps already on the sd card in anyway? If your manually installing an app do you just put it on the sd like normal and then move it over with the script? And do you have to restart your phone after moving the apps to the sd card because all mine disappeared until I did that.

Thanks and thanks for making such an easy way to move them to the sd card :)
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
once you create the link to ext2 any app you install after that it will be installed in there (ext2)
[G1 Android Development] CharonTheGreat:
YAY! im no longer broken!!!!!!

:D:Dhey everyone! I just fixed my phone by reinstalling the bootloader and here are the steps for rooting your phone (because I totally forgot them). I'm Super happy. I'll let you know how the rooting process goes and the reinstallation of my apps; but I think ill wait or have someone do the apps to sd thing for me...like my dad hes a develper so he may know some stuff..:p

he's the one that made it so i was able to do it all by reversing the steps of the apps to sd the i ****KED up
[G1 Android Development] 22350:
trapped like a rat

so i did the root access process listed here. Instead of your files, I used Haykuro 5.0.2Hr4 update. When I did, i didn't get any fonts.

I tried to go back up to a later rom, from rc29, but now the machine is jammed and when is gets to the htc logo, it just loops.

I can get to the restore console. I have tried wiping, and reinstalling rc30, with alt/s , but no luck.

i tried using the camera /power buttons, but I just get a white screen with skateboarding androids and a little word "serial"

how the hell do I get out of this?

In the system recovery utility it says: E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command

ps, i did do the rooting procedure too
[G1 Android Development] VGPOP:
I downloaded the JFv1.42_RC33 file, but I had not partition my phone yet. I renamed it update.zip and I flash it.

But now, I cannot get past the "T-Mobile G1" image screen when you turn on phone.

Anyway to get past this? Or to fix this?

I'd appreciate any help.
[G1 Android Development] acanz:
Is the link to ext2 made when moving the apps to sd? I only did what was on the first post commands.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
if you have my script file it's just "copy.sh undoapp" .. however .. you must be sure there is enough room on the phone for the apps you have or else there will be problems

for instance: you have 60M free on the phone .. but you have 70M of apps installed .. the process will not reverse because there's not enough space for the apps to come back to the phone

also .. any time apps are transferred to the SD or back to the phone they still have to be reinstalled or the market doesn't recognize them and simply states them as being "Free" and not "Installed"

[G1 Android Development] naTTan:
Hey there, i finally put in your mod, and doing the busybox df -h command i can see system/sd.

So now what commands should i do and should not do?

Before this i had moved all my cahces to the SD card, using a script, how can i undo it?

If i can't what commands is safe for me to put in?

Is there a problem with apps on SD?

Tried looking around but i am unsure of what to do next.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
running "copy.sh app" should give you no trouble .. don't run "copy.sh data" until you move your caches back off the SD .. there could be some trouble having both of those methods
[G1 Android Development] naTTan:
Thanks sorry for repetition and the pm and all, but how do i revert the links back?

I know that the browser one can be removed by clearing cache under settings but not sure about the others though.

phone storage:

Hello,

FINALY i got it up-and-running.......... NOT!!!

At least i don't understand what's happening. Here's the story so far:

I think i did everything correctly. Got the newest RC-9 radio, made the EXT2 partition with Ubuntu, flashed the MOD and used the terminal with command:

"$su

# copy.sh app"

good response:

"Expected

Done"

So fas so good. Then i started installing all the app's (because of using Alt-W). But here's the thing:

After installing ± 24 App's on my phone, my phone memory droped from 71 MB to 62MB. And some app's (

Locale

and

Droidsans on-screen keyboard

) can not be installed because of:

"insufficient storage available".

How can this be? It seems my app's didn't move to the SD.

And why do i get this error when clearly i still have enough phone-storage and also got 14GB SD storage left?

Any idease?

Thanks,

Dennis

Holland

RC-9
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
what size did you set your EXT2 partition?

if you do not move /data/data to the SD or /data/dalvik-cache your available space will still drop .. just not quite as much
[G1 Android Development] G1Dennis:
I made an EXT2 partition of 500M. This should be more than enough not?

And i only installed 24 app's.

I tried the command again but that did'nt work either.

Maybe made things worse. This is what i dit and got as response:
