some developers enable it in their apps, some dont. with having root access, you can force them to to install in your sd storage.

As far as I've seen......no. I've got quite a few apps that I've forced to the SD, so far, no difference.

I can't say for sure in ice cream sandwich but I know in other versions if you force an App to the sd that has a widget then you cannot use the widget anymore. So that's one reason they don't maker it an option.

Actually now that you say that, it makes sense why the Facebook widget wouldn't work on my optimus when I forced Facebook to the SD....lol, I never really considered that. Thanks, it actually makes a lot more sense.

I'd look into "Prey" if I was you. It's free, and works across a bunch of devices. I have it on my Inspire, my MacBook Pro, and my iPod Touch. If your device has a front facing camera, like the iSight on my laptop, you can take pictures, and also screenshots of whatever the person who jacked it is doing. It also will tell you what WiFi network they are using, and where they are. And it's free!
I like the stock one. Htcsense.com

You might have heard that Google was rolling out a new Android Market, complete with book and movie rentals. You also might have heard it would coming in the next few weeks. Well thanks to an anonymous source (possibly with a time machine) you can grab it today.
Hit the download link, and install it from your SD card like any other app. Fair warning -- we don't know if there will be any complications from doing this, but we haven't seen any so far. Use your best judgement. Discuss it in the forums!

Seems a little cluttered but i like it mostly. I'd recomend using something to backup your old market app in case this one doesnt work for anything, in the comments on that post some people said they were having problems uninstalling/updating apps.

awesome looks cool by any chance anyone running Ninja 7061 and using the new market place.
? though since I have the stander market how would I save the .apk for that so just in case I dont like this one? Also do I just add the this new .apk like any other .apk file, I use Android Side Load Wonder Machine when I install .apks

Why bother with any software or plugging your phone in to install an APK? It all seems a bit unnecessary. I just chrome-to-phoned the dropbox URL and bam app installed.

If your running tpgb ninja your rooted, so you don't need the sideload machine, just go to settings>applications>and check unknown sources. Then put this apk on your sd card and use file manager (an app installed in ninja) to select it and install.
Oh, and i am running ninja 7061. but i think i might just go back to stock CM
FOr people who want old market follow these steps:
(Originally Posted By:Chris Chavez of Phandroid)
Go into your phone’s Settings
Select “Manage Applications”
Select the “All” tab at the top
Scroll down to Market app and select it
Select “Uninstall Updates”
Now have your old Market back!
----------------------------------------------------
If that fails, install gapps via rom manager>download ROM>gapps

It's not a "method" really, it's just.. installing the app, the same way you would any APK. Doesn't matter how you get the url to the APK to your phone (email, chrome to phone, typing it in by hand).

From what I've seen, it's not an easy task & not even always desirable. Many apps are designed by the Devs to Have to be installed on the internal sd. Since you've searched, you're probably aware of some apps that allow you to move some (but not all) apps to the external sd card.
Have a look at this link;

Does anyone know if this is confirmed? I got the OTA update via clearing the Google framework trick. After upgrading to 4.1 I have found that I don't get expandable notifications with emails that I receive on Gmail.
Edit: Nevermind. I got the expanded preview to work by dragging 2 fingers over the email notification.
Tunein Radio has it.

So yes, as the title suggests, I want to move my default app install location to my MicroSD card. I've seen lots of tutorials on how to move the default install place to the internal SD card, but nothing has said how to move them to the MicroSD. Thanks for your help in advance!

Are you sure you saw tutorials showing how to get info on the "internal" sd card? They normally go there. You sure it wasn't "external", that's the same as the micro sd card.

Actual you can. One way is to go to manage apps then select an app. There you will see a move to sdcard option. The easiest way by far though is to use this handy little app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droidsail.dsapp2sd&hl=en
You can also use it to set the SDcard as the default save location. Some apps won't play nice if installed to SD though. Meaning they take forever to load and there widgets won't work. Why you would need to do this with a phone that has 2gigs of storage is sorta beyond me. The OP must have a metric crap ton of apps. lol

It is indeed moving them to the internal SD. Nice catch. I honestly never bothered to look at it. Just assumed SD was the external. Well you know what they say about assuming. Thanks for the catch.:laugh:

The best help I can manage is a suggestion to avoid this. There is a good reason it wasn't implemented, more than one. Unless you like your apps to dramatically slow down loading times and disappear on boot, that is.

Yes, I did a bit further research and found a way, but it required making your phone think that the external SD was your internal SD, and I just thought that might be too much. Now that you say that it makes it slower, I'm going to abandon the project entirely. I have enough space on my internal SD to store my apps, and I can live with only storing media on my external. Thanks everyone!
