Hi,
I am new to Magic/Sapphire. I only got mine today but have had a G1 for 5months.
Is it possible to do Apps2sd on any of these roms?- i have rooted it and am running Skittle's ion port for 32A. Can the roms be setup to run aps2sd the same way Cyanogen's rom does or do we have to do it old skool with symlinks?
I haven't seen any posts on this so thought i would put it out there...is it really necessary is my next question- do we have enough memory as it is?
We have bigger ROM on Magic, so no need to make app install on SD to reduce performance and usable life of your SD card
I am lloking for a ROM that has apps to SD but NOT a hero rom, I only have a 32B sapphire so Hero is really slow.
Im using cyanogen 3.6.8 (i think) but it wont install apps to my sd card, I have Rooted and partitioned my card although it says
SD Card Secondary

Try to use the hero 32b port with compcache. You can disable the rosie gui if it is not fast enough for you

He ain't lyin', the 2.7.3 Hero ROM with compcache runs really well on the 32B magic, even with widgets aplenty.
thanks for the rwplies.i have tried that hero port but still found it way to slow.always end up going back to cyanogen mod,all I'm looking for is an original android 1.5 Rom that has apps2sd thanks anyway guys
This app cleaned out my sd card and no longer works lol
What app?iWell i tried that JACHero rom and its not fast at all imho.Lags like hell not smooth,Typing on the keyboard takes forever
I have the 0.7 rom load with both patchs and the blue theme, I want to try out apps 2 SD i just didnt know the best route in doing so, for it to work correctly with your rom. If i use the format function in the recovery menue would it automatically save my apps on the SD and work properly or would i have to reinstall them?

(I personally don't like apps2sd but if you really have that many apps...)
Yea. Backup your sd card (it will get wiped). Boot in to recovery and create swap+ext2+fat32 and then convert ext2 to ext3 (all are options in the recovery menu). It will move everything for you.
Why don't you like apps 2 sd? I just figure if you have that you won't have worry about internal memory if you wanted to have a lot o

**My note about Apps2SD: I added support for it in this release of the rom because people who were using it in other roms that tried to install this rom were receiving errors. Here's my point of view on it.
I played with it for over 8 hours today between implementing it and then testing it to make sure this fix would work. I have personally come to not like apps2sd, but I am including it for those who use it.
The reason I don't like it is because it puts your phone at a huge risk of having problems once anything goes wrong. If you install a program that causes issues, a nandroid backup will not resolve the issue because the application is installed on your SD card not your phone. If your phone starts going crazy as reported here and here, then even just a restore possibly won't fix it. You might need to go as far as to wipe your SD card too. If you are lucky enough to have a restore fix your problems you will still need to reinstall every app, even if you didn't wipe your card. And on top of that when you try to reinstall any app it will think it's still installed, even though you restored your phone. But when you click "uninstall" it will just freeze half the time because there's nothing on the phone for it to actually install. I have also read many threads that say if you happen to boot the phone up without the SD card in then it will screw everything up.
So now maybe you are wondering why I would add Apps2SD support in this rom. In order for people who are currently using Apps2SD to upgrade to this rom I must support it or require them to do a hard reset before coming to fresh. Clearly I don't want you to have to reset so I have supported it. With that said: I personally recommend not using it. This rom will auto-use it if your SD card is formatted for it (fat32+ext2+swap partitions) but it won't use it if you are only partitioned as 1 fat32. My suggestion is to stick to the 1 partition and let your applications install on the phone. Linux is not like Windows in the sense that it will run the same whether you phone has 140 megs free of storage space or 10 megs free. So unless you plan on installing 100 apps, I don't see the practical purposes of using Apps2SD. But a lot of people like it.
Now with all of THAT said -- this rom officially has and supports Apps2SD. It is a program that I think has the possibility of being great, but has to work within the confines of the phone which means tricking Android in to thinking that the applications are installed on the phone when they aren't. That is what leads to all the problems mentioned above.

If i have apps2sd already from the previous rom i don't have to re-do it for the new one correct?
no you dont.
using apps2sd2 problems
I followed all the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5618439#post5618439 for apps2sd2 yet when I open the app, it STILL says Oops, you have to run through the tutorial to set it up. I've DONE THIS. I'm extermely frustrated. I have no idea what more to do. My sd card is partitioned correctly. I've run all the commands listed in that tutorial. PLS HELP! Also all my apps are showing in /system/sd/app AND data/app. Is this correct? Why won't Apps2sd2 work for me? I really need some troubleshooting help.
I have a rooted CMDA HTC Hero using the Fresh ROM. Also is there a way to still get Sprint TV using this ROM?
Fresh .7 doesn't support A2SD, only Fresh 1.0 & 1.1.
I've downloaded a ICS CM9 beta build for HTC Desire (BRAVO) hoping that the native same APPS 2 SD in CM7 is featured.
I don't have a special partition on my SD card but CM7 would like me move part of the apps* to it anyway. (*99% of apps including GMail, WhatsApp, Facebook, Google Maps. All apps apart from system apps)
I've tried to partition my SD card before with Clockwork Mod and Rom Manager before but it's never worked. RM says CWM's updated to the latest version but CWM is still stuck on 2.5.0.7 (a problem for another thread.)
Anyway. Does someone knows if this type of APP2SD is coming or if it's in CM9 already and I need to activate it? If it's not coming, is there another way to partition my SD without CWM and is Mac friendly?
This is my first post so I can't post it directly to the development thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403113

Solution
I did a search on Google for "Force apps to SD" and found a solution. I had to download and use the ADB tool.
Hi people! I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, I searched but couldn't find the topic about that. If there is one, please direct me there. Thanks!
So, my friend has a ChaCha, and she gets the low memory msg all the time. She can't install anything, only having ~80MB of space taken (when calculated) although the phone says that more than 130MB is taken. She can't open Gtalk or Gmail - the phone is slower than imaginable! We wiped the cash from the Apps Settings, checked and everything possible is on the SD card, but still... The phone is not rooted nor anything.
Thanks in advance!
Link2sd app
Be carrefull !!
But the phone itself offers the option of installing a part of the app on sdcard - why then the link2sd? Can it be that the phone alone isn't doing the job properly?

Link2sd is one option. When you use native a2sd (built in) it doesn't move everything on sd, just part of application. The best way is too flash one of many custom roms that have ability to install scripts that will move all apps to ext partition. CM mods support those scripts (IMO the best one to use is CronMod Script - D2EXT and INT2EXT (+)), there are also many stock based custom roms that has dta2sd preinstalled.
Of course you need to be rooted and you need to partition your sd-card in order to do that.

didije, can you please tell me how to root your phone and install this partition thingy onto the SD CARD without losing the stock rom? I like sense widgets and the stock rom very much!

After you unlock the bootloader flash recovery and to root it install this zip though recovery.
On a stock rom (stock kernel) you can only use apps such as link2sd. And there are many threads on partitioning sd-card, just google it. The easiest way is to partition from advanced menu in clockwork recovery but I am not sure if partitioning through clockworkmod recovery works with link2sd.

1. First Unlock the phone, then root, follow the thread.
