w00t i just got my Blaze! is there an irc chan somewheres? i might create one on freenode or somethin i googled massively and found tons of extra stuff about this bugger mostly from different language peoples found a few images but i dunno about flashing them, might have to ge into FTM mode like the root exploit does and mount/ rewrite images to the flashes can we we get a massive gathering so we all arent running around dumb i'm thinking freenode #BlazeRoot on freenode i'll idle there

I ran a cross this little tip to force all apps to be installed on SD.

Unlock move to SD card for existing apps:

adb shell

pm setInstallLocation 2
[Nexus One General] Lemim0uth:
I'm not able to move installed app on SD, the option "Move to SD card" is greyed... any idea ?

Remember people, apps that need root will not work ;)

Re: Force all apps to SD on FROYO

Is your SD partitioned correctly?
[Nexus One General] iVisionX01:
I don't think Froyo uses Fat32 for apps to sd not the ext partition.
[Nexus One General] seraphimserapis:
Re: Force all apps to SD on FROYO

Do I have to partition in FAT32?
[Nexus One General] Mikey:
That brings up an interesting question.........

If this update is for non-rooted phones, how/why should we be concerned if it is partitioned correctly?

Shouldn't it be done with the update.......
[Nexus One General] Rhoa23:
how?

Where do you place that command.
[Nexus One General] Lemim0uth:
As application installation on SD is natively supported by Froyo, I assumed that I don't need to partition the card...
[Nexus One General] Henchman:
Do you know how to use ADB etc from your computer?

If not, go figure that out first,
[Nexus One General] chazam:
Works great for me on my non-rooted N1. I can only move non protected apps but that's fine with me! :D
[Nexus One General] Henchman:
Once you run the command, all apps, including protected ones, will be installed in the SD card.
[Nexus One General] chazam:
Only my non protected apps have moved from my internal memory :( (which is good enough for me really). :D

Re: Force all apps to SD on FROYO

How were you able move them? The option to do that is grayed out for all applications on my phone. I heard developers have to give permission to move their applications to the SD card first.

-------------------------------------

Sent from my Motorola Razr.
[Nexus One General] donosaur:
I was also only able to move my non-protected apps
[Nexus One General] htcmagic:
So to clarify this, after executing the command all non protected apps will be moved to sd, or do we choose which ones to move from the applications menu. Are we able to move apps back to the phone for speed?

Can we reverse the command?

Thanks

Re: Force all apps to SD on FROYO

With the abd command? Or on stock Froyo?
[Nexus One General] brosenz:
Where are the apps being installed in the SD card ?, I see that my internal memory is going down and the apps are installed in the SD card based on what the system says, thanks
[Nexus One General] knightnz:
FAT32 doesn't support the required permission flags for root apps.

Apps need to be rewritten to support installation to SD under FroYo as it's not just using symlinks as with A2SD.
[Nexus One General] 1wayjonny:
After initiating the command on the original post you have to click each app and move to sdcard.

A shortcut to reinstall all apps at once can be done in ADB

cd /data/app
for app in *.apk; do pm install -r $app; done

** Note

I used this for unofficial apps2sd so after switching to froyo using the command should also do the same
[Nexus One General] showson1:
This works great, thanks for the post!
[Nexus One General] liorry:
Will pm setInstallLocation 1 return all apps to device memory? the official Apps2SD sucks! :) (at least for now)
[Nexus One General] ebernie:
Re: Force all apps to SD on FROYO

Glad I could help.

Guys, we will never ever get apks on phones from an aps2sd from Google. One of the main reason in delaying aps2sd was to figure out a way to allow disable the ability to redistribute apks. Currently everything that goes to your SD is encrypted.

however the apk on /system is not encrypted. if you want the apk pull it from /system/app befor you move it

and it cant be that well done since titanium backup can get them from the sd on froyo now

I'm on an unrooted N1 with froyo, managed to do the pm setInstallLocation 2 successfully, test installed my games onto SD, works perfect even after reboot. Why is everyone else facing problems with their icons not appearing for the app/game after reboot? Mine works just fine.
[Nexus One General] 24bronco:
I downloaded the Modinstall.APK a few pages back and that worked for me. I can move apps to Sd, However the apps now do not show up as Icons in the Launcher. And the apps the I had on my home screen have now disappeared but shows a regular Icon, it looks like the market Icon (green and white), when I click it it launches the app. What can I do to restore apps that are on SD card to Launcer and Homescreen? Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus One General] cdmove:
i noticed that once i enabled this feature, any apps i installed afterward got installed to SD...this is true right? :confused:
[Nexus One General] jerrycycle:
You can use a task killer or go to settings-manage apps, force stop the launcher of chose. This should on be needed after a reboot.

[Nexus One General] twism50:
Are you able to charge the phone? My USB stopped working after the .34 Kernel, I can't charge or Mount. My Batteries dead, I sent the phone to HTC to see if it could slip through the cracks, but no luck $196 to fix. I'm gonna get a desktop charger and see if restoring a Nand backup fixes.
[Nexus One General] P00r:
To be more precise some developper may decide that their app WILL not be movable, this is NOT an acceptable behavior as far as I am concerned

I guess we will have to wait for someone to pull out a hack that bypass their selection and give back control of the install location to the phone owner.

I already noticed a few application that can't be moved to SD even with the setinstalllocation 2 trick...

One of the cool feature I noticed on the other side is that application get compressed in the process by about 50%!!!
[Nexus One General] P00r:
If you are happy with the way the new feature work then NO you can safelly remove the other partition, but you will need to do a backup and format it I think I do not know another way...
[Nexus One General] rheza02:
i'm using quick rooter from cyanogen early build. just now i checked the kernel still 2.6.32.9, i think its default kernel right for froyo ?

charging works fine.

damn...i had to put all my apps back in the phone because after a restart...a lot of the apps installed on SD didn't show up.

is there a fix for this? :confused:
[Nexus One General] mlbl:
did u wait for a while , at least 1-2 mins? The apps will appear after a while. Mine had to wait few seconds before it appears in the menu. FYI mine is unrooted N1, not sure got any prob with rooted + apps2sd.
[Nexus One General] e4604:
yea i ended up deleting it, ill be running froyo for a while so it not needed, but as soon as "cyanogenized froyo" comes out, ill be going back and if i do infact need another partition it can be easily created in Amon's recovery.
[Nexus One General] adelja:
Performance improved?

Can anyone confirm the improvement of the Phones Performance after sending the apps to sd?
[Nexus One General] mlbl:
Phone performance is pretty much the same as before except that startup takes longer due to loading apps from SD.
[Nexus One General] cdmove:
i moved all my apps back to phone except one. i restarted the phone and that app's logo is replaced with i guess the default android logo, i can run the app by clicking on the andriod logo.

but the app is gone from the app drawer.

maan this sucks. :(
[Nexus One General] stanley1024:
what is the 2 's meaning???

i put the apps in /system/data

[Nexus One General] jblazea50:
you need to run the following code either in CMD or Terminal

CMD: adb shell (press enter)

pm setInstallLocation 2 (press enter)

Terminal: su (enter)

pm setInstallLocation 2 (enter)

reboot

pm setInstallLocation 0 is auto

pm setInstallLocation 1 is internal

pm setInstallLocation 2 is external

to see what you have already, run the following: get setInstallLocation
[Nexus One General] kosei_inoue:
I noticed that by using the application "fast reboot" in my unrooted nexus one, I would be able to get all my apps back in menu even though they are in my sd! I guess the disappearance may simply be caused by the fact that the sd card is not ready yet when the apps menu is launched!

Unrooted Nexus One with Launcher Pro Beta
[Nexus One General] D200P13:
i have to wait a bit (not long) when rebooting my phone.

the only problem i am having (not sure if this is the correct thread to post this) is apps that run on startup do not run on startup. for example, locale isnt loading when reboot along with weatherbug. unsure why but hope its either a fixable problem on next froyo update or updates on apps to work on froyo. worked fine on cyan 2.1 when installed to sd.
[Nexus One General] mightykc:
I used the pmSetInstallLocation 2 command which allowed for the option to move the apps to the SD card. However when I go into settings and then applications and try to move an app to the SD card my phone reboots every time. Anyone know why?
[Nexus One General] CrazyCoder:
FYI, MarketAccess 1.0.5 now has an option to change the install location for FroYo: http://amip.org.ru/android/marketaccess .
[Nexus One General] Geniusdog254:
Its because the A2SD partition on CM was mounted from boot, and the normal sd partition isnt.

When the system boots it broadcasts a BOOT_COMPLETED intent, and it only broadcasts that once. Since the SD isn't mounted on boot, the apps on SD miss that intent being broadcast, thus never open. Its yet another fail on Google's part with this A2SD method.
[Nexus One General] :
Not so much of a fail since its on the developers on whether the app should be allowed to be installed to the SD card. Services and apps that need to be active from boot should not be allowed to be installed to the SD card as mounting the SD card for storage will cause errors. This is why developers have to flag their apps to allow for installation to SD as many users aren't technically inclined to make that determination

Rebooting was fine. The apps that moved were only the ones I specified (via Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Downloaded: Move to SD) and the only issue was that any moved apps that I had shortcuts for in the Launcher I had to recreate (the shortcuts still worked, only that the icons themselves became generic).

Happy Camper! :D
[Nexus One General] jerrycycle:
Most may know that Froyo does not reconize the partitions set up for use with the custom roms. I have found, for me, that there is no need to re or undo the partitions that where set to use the app2sd need for the CM rom.

I have been using this method for over a week, i had around 20 apps on SD card. Last night i moved most of my apps to SD card, this morning i was trying to install some new apps from market and it was taking forever to install so i rebooted my phone and now all apps on my SD card are gone and it's not letting me install any apps. I even tried "pm setInstallLocation 1" and "pm setInstallLocation 0" and it's still not letting me install any apps at all and all my apps in SD card are gone as well. I have tried rebooting my phone couple of times, no luck :(
[Nexus One General] s0nniez:
What type of launcher are you using? Try to restart the launcher and see if the apps are there. That always worked for me.
[Nexus One General] sparkling:
i am using ADW launcher, already tried that. Im pretty sure its not due to launcher because if i go in settings => applications, in "On SD card" tab it shows all applications as com.adobe.psmobile ...etc and no app icon. it's not even letting me install or update any app in internal memory either. I just tried wiping cache and dalvik cache, no luck :(

any other suggestions?
[Nexus One General] joel.bourquard:
Hi sparkling,

I believe your apps are lost. The "pm install" command usually works fine, but sometimes it will hang - and when it does, all SD apps are lost on next reboot.

The only solution afaik, is to do regular backups (including a copy of /sdcard/.android_secure) until the final, stable Froyo arrives.

By the way: The latest version of Titanium Backup can move apps to/from the SD card.
[Nexus One General] pc2828:
I'm having same issue, can't install or update apps, it just hangs "Installing...."

Noob here having same issue, can't install or update apps, it just hangs "Installing...."

If I go back and install 2.1(CM 5.0.7) and sign in to google account, then wipe and install Froyo it works fine. But it breaks again if I use Titanium to restore my apps--this doesn't happen if I install apps fresh from the Market. Somehow restoring some apps triggers market to think it's 2.1, then it breaks and hangs and can't install/update, even if installing app directly from developer's site with .apk file.

Thanks in advance for your help/insight.

For those of you not very comfortable with ADB or don't have a PC handy this moment, you can simply use the terminal on your phone..

[Nexus One General] cue_32:
LOVIN IT!!! Thanks...

Edit:

Had to switch back to Location 0... couldn't keep the weather widget or Astro File Manager to stay installed on my phone.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Here's what I do..

Install location is set to 0 by default

Set it to 2

Go into manage Applications and click the handy button move apps to SD card (those which didn't previously allow it) (the Apps 2 SD application doesn't seem to work here, although it normally does?)

Set install location back to 0

This way I have complete control over what gets sent to the SD card, and none are forced there which shouldn't be (programs which always run, Widgets, Live Wallpaper, etc..)
[Nexus One General] harisn:
This trick works absolutely fine! Or if you don't want to mess with ADB, download the Mod Install Location app: http://www.sizzledcore.com/2010/07/02/install-any-app-on-sd-card-on-android-2-2/
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Except you don't need root to do it via adb, pretty sure this would, but good tip regardless!
[Nexus One General] Deekayy:
If anyone can answer this question of mine i'd appreciate it..

Well i have a stock frf-91 N1 and i have it forced to install apps onto my sd. What i'm trying to understand is.. are the apps im going apptosd transferring all the memory to SD? Because i noticed when i transfer an app to sd the internal memory is still being taken up. Like i said i'm not sure how this apps to sd works, so if anyone can clarify that be great.

(reason for this question is because i installed soo many games/apps and its forced to my SD, then i realized that the internal memory i had 160 to start with is down to 20.)
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
It only moves the apk itself. It's up to the application if it stores data in internal or external storage.

I went from 20 to 45M free, so it was sufficient for me to gain some extra internal storage space, but the drawback is having 20-30 apps on the SD card makes it take foooorreeeevvvveeeeerrrr to switch to mass storage. The apks are somehow loop mounted, and it has to unmount each of them before it can unmount the SD card and give it to the mass storage.

When I switch to another ROM, I'll be using the old apps2sd method.
[Nexus One General] texasice:
Thanks for the tip. I was under the impression move to SD was app specific and the had to be enabled within the apk before froyo would let you move it. This is great for those huge apps like flash that was stealing all my storage space.

Use this in combination with LeoFroYo's data to sd and i was able to free nearly 100MB.
[Nexus One General] Deekayy:
Thanks for the feedback.. i thought apps2sd would take all of the memory straight to sd. So rooting the device would unlock the rest of the internal storage the phone has(512)?
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
er, what? I don't know of any storage limitation the Nexus One has, it had a memory limitation due to the kernel in use, but the Froyo kernel fixed that.
[Nexus One General] Deekayy:
What i'm trying to understand that the nexusone has flash memory of 512mb but my phone only has roughly 180mb to start with. then i have to use force apps2sd in order to save some of my internal memory. i want to know if anyone has 512mb memory like the phone should have?
[Nexus One General] dudyk:
The phone has 512MB for everything, that's including the OS (that's about 180MB), your data and applications (about 200MB) and cache that improves some of the performance, especially on FroYo.

You have even less than 200MB to start with since on your fist boot the applications allocate space for their data.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
512M - ROM (OS/Apps/Radio) - Data - cache = around 190M free out of box as I understand/remember from first installed.
[Nexus One General] EwanG:
SO if I have an SD card in it, why can't the phone be "intelligent" and move out at least the data? I understand that apps are more problematic (which is why it's only an option in Froyo), but I get nervous about installing too many apps as it is.

Don't suppose there's an app to let you move things out like there used to be for the old DOS machines when they had the 640K limit but you could buy 1-2 megs of RAM?
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
:confused::rolleyes:

So yeah, there's Apps to SD, which Froyo can do. It only moves the apk itself, not the data.

There are alternatives which move everything, but require a custom ROM.
[Nexus One General] MaxCR:
How / where do you run these lines to enable the app2sd?

Will it work on a none-rooted stock 2.2 Desire?
[Nexus One General] mtw4991:
I believe you must be rooted to run adb commands, plus have the SDK on your desktop. Assuming all of this, the command lines would be:

adb shell

pm setinstallLocation 1 (1 for internal, 2 for sd card)

Don't forget to change back to 2 after installing to internal;)
[Nexus One General] BelgianAtheist:
No need to root, just install the SDK so you can do an adb shell
