Pointless maybe in it's current implementation for hackers. I think what we are all looking for here is to get back to our EXT setups. That works. No mounting issues, widgets always work no matter where they are. We've been spoiled. I understand and appreciate Google's efforts here. It is an innovative method to give standard phones more app buying power. They cannot go reformatting innocent, non-rooted user's sdcards OTA and expect it to be problem free, although all of us here know, that is the best method discovered to date.
[Nexus One General] touchpro247:
Works great big thanks to the OP
[Nexus One General] Bicster_:
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that you can move apps to sd in-place from the command line:

cd /data/app
pm install -r -s appname.apk

To see your apps sorted by reverse size order (biggest on the bottom of the list):

busybox ls -lrS
[Nexus One General] djdarkknight96:
Worked perfectly in the terminal:

You have to have root to do this!!!!

Su (enter)

# pm setInstallLocation 2 (enter)

#

As long as the # shows up after the command and no errors...go to applications and select the app and the "Move to SD card" is no longer grey...I have only the fat 32 on my memory card, no ext!
[Nexus One General] overground:
Same here...on average drops the internal app size from 1/2 to 3/4 of original. :)
[Nexus One General] MaxiJavi:
OK, so that explains why the app size increases when I move it from SD to internal (I have to do this for services or widgets, otherwise they don't work).

Cool, thanks !!

Home++ vs. Launcherpro

Hey, i ran across a reply from brashmadcap who was saying that home++ loads the apps that are on the SDcard, i tried it and it works great, is this something is it possible to get Launcherpro to do this? thanks!

EDIT: I think we just need to kill Launcherpro and restart it, and it should work... worked for me :)
[Nexus One General] Henchman:
With launcherpro, after the phone boots up, use an app killer to kill launcher pro.

Then when you GI back to the home screen, the apps will show up.
[Nexus One General] cdmove:
which folder on the SD holds the apps?:confused:
[Nexus One General] overground:

[HD2 General] Trzu:
Hi For all

i have a HTC HD 2

i have done HARD SPL this phone

Before Install 2-3 pcs Energy ROm

inistall completed

but before restart or shtdowne

the phone can not startup windows

and stop on the HTC Logo

But before if i installed Orginal HTC companys ROM on the phone

My phone can startup!

whats this problem?

please help me?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
flash the correct radio first. See the energy rom thread for recommended radios.
[Nexus One General] SabrWolf:
looks like no FM radio for us for now..

multi-touch still snaps axis (obvious hw fault), but i can no longer get it to swap axis, can anyone confirm ?

flash works ok~, flash elements seem to lag behind when scrolling/panning the screen (kinda like they are overlapped, not really "embedded" in the render cycle.

is the launcher smoother or is it placebo ? either way launcher PRO is much faster anyway.

-- ( LauncherPRO works fine with FROYO still blazing flast, but the google search widget just gave me a crash after "acting up", never cared for it anyway )

new taskswitcher GUI, now says "recent apps", and fades out the background, displays more than the default 6 apps.

gallery is MUCH MUCH faster at loading photos ( i have around 200, and it just swept thru those thumbnails), ZOOMing in has better resolution, still not 100% quality.

new gallery PINCH-to-peek works great, looks very animatish too :)

another placebo to check, WiFi seems better, i just connected to a router that usually disconnects me allot because its too far, works ok atm, 1 bar.

power control widget now allows switching to auto-brightness (thx mortzz)

multi-calls from same person now grouped in contact list/recent calls

power button ends call

come on, share your findings :)
[Nexus One General] fender2k1:
the stock messaging app is quite different. shows pictures of the contacts for each message. and... its white.

4.06?

and the music player is there a new interface?
[Nexus One General] jrl022:
So LauncherPro does work with 2.2, no problems? I was curious of this.
[Nexus One General] fender2k1:
4.06.00.12_7

same music interface
[Nexus One General] SabrWolf:
radio version = 4.06.00.12_7

yes, newer version.. will take a while for me to notice the diffrence :)
[Nexus One General] mgear356:

hmm it';s weird that in google's i/O there was a new music interface..

Trackball colors ?

Did they implement pinch peek into Gallery ?
[Nexus One General] fender2k1:
can't see a way to change trackball colors.

maybe its possible to create an app now that can do this without root?
[Nexus One General] SabrWolf:
pinch-to-peek works, updated the main post, checking trackball colors atm
[Nexus One General] fender2k1:

perhaps a non-root trackball notifications app is possible with the new SDK

Can anyone explain what pinch peek for gallery does?
[Nexus One General] blisk:
Noticed that any pictures you posted on buzz will pull up in your gallery. I reformated my SD card trying to get the app to sd card thing working and since i don''t have photos (yet to move it back on there) i figured that cool feature out.

Looks like moving to the SD card is something that might need to be enabled by the apps.
[Nexus One General] slimfady:
Won't you lose JIT when you do that?

Edit: Nevermind, Intersect just released a Froyo version of his kernel. But you will certainly lose JIT if you use an older one
[Nexus One General] andrewpmoore:
Don't think either of these were there before:

You can now drag icons widgets from one homescreen to another.

You can change the voice engine for text output, so we may get some better voices implemented that'd then get used in navigation and other apps.

i am having one issue where my own picture is grey in a message thread. the pic of who im messaging with shows up alright. Anyone having this? thinking it should pull the pic from my google account.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
This has already been covered in a couple of the other Froyo threads. Just create a new contact for your number. Then either add a picture by editing the contact and clicking on the picture, or if you're like me and have a pic associated with your Google account, it will automatically pick that up.

True, shame to lose that. I really used that a lot.

Also, being able to choose languages by dragging the keyboard is a lifesaver for non-english speakers like me.

It's there. After you install an app, open it up (where you normally have the uninstall option) and it's there at the top above 'rating'.

I have tested it, and that "unknown" is the cause of greyed out picture.

I have 2 sim cards, one is 3UK, and the other one is one2free from Hong Kong. The phone recognises the 3UK phone number but not the one2free (it shows up as unknown).

I have both numbers under the same contact with a avatar / picture.

Nexus one shows up profile pics correctly with my 3UK sim card plugged in, but it greyed out all those pictures when I've plugged in the one2free sim card.

FYI all those messages were sent and received on the one2free (hk) number.

I know (at least in Hong Kong) there are a lot of carriers who don't put the phone number in SIM cards. It wasn't a big problem until now. :/ I wonder if there will be a solution addressing this problem.
[Nexus One General] Amdathlonuk:
Thanks all, found it.

I've only installed one app :)

However I thought there was going to be an 'update all' option?

I have 440 apps in total.

Interestingly they don't appear in my app drawer as they're on my EXT4 partition.

However if I go to installed apps tab on manage applications it finds them all. weird. Still can't run them though but it knows they're there...

That's how it works. After you've entered it, look in the settings and UAString is there.

what irritates me most is what somebody else called "a staring competition" with the trackball. With the 10-15 sec interval picking it up and switching it on is faster than waiting for the next blink. This is so useless. I'm on a rooted 2.2 and no matter what i try the only trackball color is white....in all programs with notifications. trackball alert doesn't do anything. Most of my paid apps are gone and usb unmount FC's and reboots.

It has been the most awaited thing. A lot was anticipated and expected from this update. Flash is finally available. This thread is about the performance and bugs you've found in Froyo.

Becasue handcent and other apps are not working is not a froyo bug. The apps are not working mostly because api classes are changed.

I've noticed in Gmail under settings you can now set it to alert you every time an email arrives, rather than once until you check it. I used to have to use an app for that. The setting is at the very bottom called notify once.

Do that and make sure you reboot, it's what I didn't do!

Major problem: while charging with the wall charger or the usb cable from pc, the battery percentage drops if you have the screen on and play with it (40% brightness). This never happened on 2.1. It always kept charging the battery, no matter what task you were doing.

Another issue: If you have around 90% charge and plugin to charge (wall or usb) it fails to change the status to charging. It says the battery is fully charged. After around 5 minutes it kicks in and the status is changed to charging. In those 5 minutes you will lose battery life if you are playing with the phone.

I don't like this at all. Is there a way to get back to stock 2.1 without rooting?
