I installed Cyanogen Mod 7 on my new desire and recently discovered that if I move an app to the sd card I am no longer able to use/ add its widgets. Is this normal?

Yes, some apps don't work if they're on your sd instead of your phone.
The thing is, they do work, just the widget disappears from the list. Namely, I am talking about Evernote and Springpad.

Very normal.
Not sure if it still does it in the latest update, but in the previous version Evernote (2.5?) moving the app to SD also breaks the "take a photo" function. You can take a photo, but they never attach properly.
I'm guessing that the "widgets" are stored in the portion of the app that got moved off to SD. I don't know how Move2SD works, but from what I understand, a portion (which I term a "loader") have to stay in app storage. I am guessing that if the widget and resources stay with the loader instead gotten moved off to the SD card the widgets will still work, but I don't know. Maybe some Google folks can clarify, but that'd be off topic.
What surprises me is that there is any difference. After all, Android is using ext file system and this has support for symbolic and hard links.
Using these, I don't see why a program would operate any different between "/" and "/sdcard/"
I was wounding if any one knew how to make double twist air sync to the external sd card. I have the majority of my music saved there but when I air sync it puts out on the phones memory not the external sd card. If that's even possible please let me know.
Also I have astro but when I try to move it from where the air sync saves it to the external where the test is it says can not move? ? ? ? Thanks

I havn't tried the AirSync part but for regular USB syncing I was able to get it to use ext_sd by deleteing everything DT had put on the internal SD, shutting down DT and iTunes, connecting phone then under Storage Management removing the drive letter from the internal SD card. (obviously this is a Windows only solution though ejecting the internal one on a Mac befroe firing up DT might work too).
Once you remove that drive letter restart DT and it showed and synced right to the external SD.
I went this route mainly because I only want the internal SD used by apps, pics, etc. I do believe this will break the syncing of pics and videos thru DT, but not actually tested.
So what you can do for air sync if you want to use that. You just let it sync like normal than copy using astro to the external than delete the one on the internal where air sync puts it by default.
Not perfect but it works.
Would love to hear any other fixes or suggestions.

There is a setting for it.
Under the general settings tab in the android app, there is actually a setting for choosing the volume on which you want to store your content.
Brand new to the skyrocket, I have tried both CM9 and AOKP and have issues with external storage. My gallery pull all my pics from the external perfect so i know the o/s is seeing it. When i use astro file search nothing shows up on my external, and when i go to play music through my blutooth, google music wont play anything and jetaudio plays but cuts in and out. Is this a common issue everyone, and is there a fix for it?
Both my internal and external work fine on aosp roms. Are you saying you can't find the internal SD? :thumbup:

My internal works fine.Google music recognizes music on my external but says it can't access
the files to play them.jetaudio will play them but cuts in and out.
If I open astro file manager and choose external SD nothing shows up
Have you tried fixing permissions? I always try that when something isn't quite right.

Fixed permissions, rebooted, opened astro file manager,
Clicked on external SD,it says directory empty. I also noticed jetaudio is only recognizing
A portion of my music. I don't get it. I would normally think its a bad install,
But I do a complete wipe everytime and it does the same thing with Cm9
Are you selecting external SD from within the emmc folder? That will show as empty. To see the contents go up one level in the directory and select SDCard. That is external and emmc is internal on AOSP Roms.

I had the same problem, drove me to the brink of insanity, lol. I flashed another rom and decided it wasn't good so I flashed back and somehow everything worked. Not sure how but it worked.

Glad that was it. I believe there is some instructions for deleting the media db files in the CM9 thread in order to force a rescan. Try searching "media db" in there.
Thanks are great, thanks button is better

Solved-thanks for everyone's help, this is what I had to do to fix the music issue.
Uninstall music apps, use root explorer do to data/data/android.com.provider.media,delete database folder, boot into recovery,delete cache, reboot,reinstall music app
Hi guys
Been a long time since i last posted on XDA.
Back with a new thing. I have a lollipop 5.1 device running with extrordinary performence and never hangs up. But when it cones to downloading big files over any sort of internet connection the device just hanga and take a great time rebooting also.
But where there is problem there is a solution. If you are using SD card in device then unmount it from storage section of device settings and then try downloading the big application.
If the application have huge data. Let the data be downloaded in the device storage. Once the downloadng is complete. Close the play store and remount your SD card. Now check for app data which must be inside Android/data or Android/obb. Where ever it may be move it to the same place in SD card. Now go to settings and open application managment and move that app to SD card.
And enjoy the huge application on SD card without a slight performence lagging.
Hope this helps a lot of guys out there.
Peace!

Almost any game I try to install,
Take Nova Legacy for instance. I get a problem when data is supposed to be extracted.
The phone is rooted.
Using emui 4.0 and android 6.0
Its like the phone struggles to choose where to store app data. Could it be a conflict between Huawei's personal storage set to SD card and App2SD external app installation.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
