Hi, I have an HTC desire on orange. It has 500mb internal memory and I have a 32 GB sd card. I CANNOT move some apps to the SD card as Orange have put their own rom on the phone (I think! I don't know much about these things). The version of android is 2.2.
How do I install apps direct to SD card? Do I have to install a custom ROM, if so, how, and how dangerous is this? Could it ruin my phone?

hello there.I have a rooted(unrevoked) htc wildfire with a 2gb sd card.I want to change the 2gb card with a 8gb one.I have several questions about this:
1)Does unrevoked have anything to do with my sd card,i mean if i change the sd card will i have to root it again or will i somehow brick my wildfire?I dont really know how i rooted it...i just connected my htc with my pc and ran unrevoked...i remember i didnt do anything i just let it that way and after several reboots it was good to go.(is there unrevoked documentation available...for example i need to know what an hboot is...)
2)my 8gb sd card is formatted as FAT32...what types of format does android 2.1 support?and which is the best?
3)and one more dump question...will using a higher capacity sd card make my phone run slower than before...?although i think i already know the answer
thanks in advance

Kumusta Pare! Just copy everything from your old sd card to your computer then transfer it to your new sd card.

thanks for the reply! so i would assume if everything is copied from the old sd card...there would be no problems putting in the new one so long as the files/folders remain the same. thanks.
That is correct! I think.
I really doubt that!!!
Your data should be fine (pics, music etc)
but if you have installed apps on your SD, I would recommend re-installing them on the new SD
So the step would be..
1- Copy all data from old sd to pc
2- put the new sd in and copy the data to the new sd from pc
3- Re-install apps.
usually, just copying the whole SD card to the new one is enough, as said above, that's what I did from a 16Go to a 32go, that's what I did from 08 to 16 on my former phone.
Maybe one or two apps will require reinstalling (I doubt, all of my downloaded apps were working when I went from 16 to 32Go with my Sensation) but you won't lose any data.
Thanks for the replies!

Hi all, i know this will be an old subject but the truth is i had a Desire 2 yrs ago before i started to play around with rooting and flashing etc.
Now i own my second Desire and it is rooted, s-offed, clockworkmodded and flashed with cm7.1.
I have recently been looking at improving my internal storage space and from what i can gather there are a few ways to do such a thing.
The problem is they seem a little bit too complicated for me not to mention a bit risky.
I am wondering if anyone has a simple method that will give me more internal space.
My sd card is partitioned (8 gig total 1gig ext3) i just don't know where to go from here.
Here are some details of my device.....
CWMod 5.0.2.0
CM7.1 Android 2.3.7
HBOOT 6.93.1002
Please Help!!
UPDATE:
I have managed to gain a little more space on my internal storage.
I found an app in the market called A2SDGUI and it allowed me to move the Dalvik Cache to the sd ext resulting in my storage jumping from 44mb to 107mb.
However, i am still looking for an answer to using the sd ext partition for all my apps since i have 1gig of space available.
Looking forward to hearing from someone!

CM 7 doens't have APP2SD integrated, this is why all the apps are installed onto the internal memory.
If you install any custom rom on XDA with APP2SD (MIUI, leeDroid for instance), you won't have any space problems.
Don't need to do anything else beside flash the rom, since you already have partitioned your SD card.
I currently have a 16GB card which I used to install the fireware and Rom for my phone. If I switch to a 32GB card, would I need to go through the same process of installing my fireware and Rom or are these saved on the system memory?
Nope, no need to reinstall anything.
Think of the phone like an old PC. The SD card is just the 3.5 inch floppy disk. You can take it out but the computer still runs on the hard drive.
What you'll want to do is hook the phone up to your computer first, copy the entire contents of the SD card to a folder on your computer, then change to the new 32 GB card, then copy everything back to the new card.
The phone and your apps won't know that anything changed (other than seeing 16GB of extra free space)
Everything else will work fine. Your apps will find all your data in the right spots.
Unless you use app 2 sd
