Guys,
is there a way to change the Market installation location to the 16 GB sd card?
I tried app2sd and other similar app, nothing work on Gtablet or I am just not doing it correctly?
please help.
thanks
Android newbie.
Use install manager and it will let you move Apps2SD or if you sideload or use another market it will let you pick install location.

Using CM6t8
Is it possible? If so, would anyone mind explaining how? I have the option under applications but it fails every time.
I went into rom manager and set up my preferences for SD partition (anyone have suggestions on those by the way?? partition size/swap size<--no idea what that means), I have an 8GB SD Card.
Then it said I needed to reboot and it put me into the recovery screen, what do I need to do here?
Thanks in advance
I'm lost on getting the Google apps installed through ROM manager as well.
Hi,
As you guys know Froyo has the Feature of installing Apps 2 Sd card directly.But a lot of apps still Remain on The Internal Memory.It also depends on the Developer of the app if they want to allow people to install on SD card or Not.The Following will Lift up that limit and you can install Each and every app On the Sd Card.
Things required:-
Root
Terminal Emulator
Instructions:-
Open Terminal and type:-
su
pm setInstallLocation 2
(Note:Above is case sensitive)
usage:-
After typing the above if everything is successful you will go back to #
Now to explain the Above:-
Froyo has 3 Switches to install apps-
1-Internal
2-External
0-Auto
u can select any of them by typing : pm setInstallLocation <switch>
U can also Get to Know the Present Path by typing: pm getInstallLocaton
Another thing to note:
Some apps will fail to install on external Mem.the work around to that is.Set the default location to internal Mem.Install App.Set the Default location to External Mem.go to Settings->Program->Manage Applications and click on the installed app.You will find the Settings to Move to SD card.
The above has been tested by me on:-
MIUI 11th December Rom
Cronos 1.7.0
CM6.1 (12.12.10)
Please feel free to contact me in case of any probs.

No Probs Mate...Hope others also find it useful
This is specially useful on MIUI where you do not have the CMparts included.
Since its actually included as a Sub Menu in the Cyanogenmod!
But dang! i still cant get angry birds to work
Never tried Angry Birds.Cm had the option to install to SD but still a lot of apps used to take up internal Storage and just refused to go to SD.....So this should be helpful in those cases as well
thx a lot, works like a charm
posted your HowTo on Android-Hilfe to more spread it in our German community: http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...2221-how-full-apps2sd-auf-2-2-froyo-roms.html
Mods.....how about Making it a Sticky?
thank you! i searched a bit and found out, that there is a little app for this already called "Mod Install Location For Root". Its in the market...
Or you could use the built in feature for doing this
Go to Preferences->CM Extra / (or something else having CM as menu item name) -> Application Settings->Install location and there you have a nice GUI
works on Cronos <=1.70 and CM6.1
Dunno about MIUI
As someone mentioned, in CM6 you can set it in settings. Would you know how to partition the SD card to have linux partition and fat32?

Yes But there are other Mods also...Not just CM and Cronos.Anyway..about partitions..In the latest open recovery there is an option called eclair mods->Menu apps2sd...You can partition your card from there.but it will format everything so be careful.But you do NOT need to fomat the card while Using Froyo to install in Sd card.

You dont really need to format it on 2.2..it will work anyway...and to answer your question.So to settings->Applications->Manage Applications->click on the app...you will see either Move to Phone or Move to SD..if move to Phone then the app is installed on SD card and vice versa

At the Moment am using Cyanogen Mod...n i downloaded the trial from Market..i am easily able to move it to SD and back in phone mem
When in Phone Mem size=1.23MB
when in SD size=484
I will flash to MIUI and check it there and let you know.
i uinstall my wersion of gentle alarm and download from market trial wersion and have the same problem maybe is something wrong with miui but is not so important for me bcs rest of app i have on sd and i have 84.79mb free on phone
Just want to be able to install apps directly to the sd with this rom. I liked how in CM6.1 you could select to install in the phone or on the sd and this same thing would complete this rom. If anyone knows how to do this please let me know.
Update
Only needing this to install larger apps on phone and some apps are too large to install and then move to sd.
I have been getting "Application not installed" a lot when installing game apps from my SD card, anyone know if it's an app or settings or the market that is 'causing this? I have a Dinc with Redemption Rom 2.4, 2.2 froyo. Thx.

Try unmounting the SD card...don't remove the card, just unmount it. Then find the app in the store and install it.
i am able to download from the market just fine, the problem is when i install an .apk that's on my sd card. i'm wondering if chainfire 3d did something? in a bit i'm going to try the unmounting and also fix the market links. anymore ideas well be appreciated.
Do you have Froyos "Move to sd by default" enabled?
Yeah I'm getting the same thing. First it was just the wireless tethering app, then it was Angry Birds and some other apps. It says it was unable to install, and then that there was "insufficient storage space" which is BS b/c I have 210MB internal mem free and over 9GB free on my SD card :/

where do i go to enable it?
you just make me laugh
phone internal memory is probably full. just move some of your installed programs to sd- card -for example games
i had plenty of spaces and no notifications. all the info that this problem gave me was "Application not Installed" i solved the problem by flashing a Rom. thx for the help guys.
I had the same issue when I tried to manually change the icon of an apk using winrar. I think it happens with unsigned apk's, or if they were modified in some way from the original.
The app may not be signed properly or you may be having trouble with apps moved to SD not being read correctly. You could try moving the app from your SD back to your phone or even copying everything from your SD card to your computer, formatting the card, and then transferring everything back to the card as a last resort. I've had to do that before and it solved the problem but it was a pain.
Sent from my Inc using Nil's Business Gingersense. Now that's incredible.
Here's one solution that worked for me:
I installed Android Market 3.0.27 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166152
I cleared the market cash and Google services framework data as per the steps described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893538
Then the trick that did it was to disable app2SD under settings/applications.
I still am missing some apps in the market (Skype, Facebook, Google Maps, etc.) but at least I can install them from apk files now.
I hope this helps.
Cheers
Hello, i´ve got a problem that is:
Because of a bad reset or another problem there are some apps that got unistalled and I have to install them back, but some apps aren´t allowed to it. The phone shows a message saying "there´s not free storage left, but I have and if I try to install diferent apps I can.
Looking for this in forums I think that the problem is a file saved somewhere in the mobile. The question is, how can I find this file? (I have link2SD, likely this can influde)
Thank you for helping and wait answers soon
According to your writing. I think your phone don't have enough space to install the new apps. Remove your unnecessary file from your phone and install those apps again.
move to sd card
go to setting -> Application Manager and move some apps to sd card that way you will free some space in phone storage install the application after.
