I've been reading a lot. I'm trying to get some way to move applications after having swapped the memory. I'm using SM with an sript (extsd2internalsd xz.txt) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2430046. It works but is unstable, suddenly disappear the music or some application and is necessary to reboot until you get t again. Meanwhile, a notice: "not enough memory, some functions stop working" , appears. Besides, any new application you install, goes directly to the old internal memory, despite it appears like sd card (external). I'm trying to find some way to move applications from the true internal memory ( false external) , to the new internal (sd card). Any help!!!
Thanks

I have a HTC Touch (Elf) with the 1GB memory card.
When I download or install something, even if I tell it to save to memory card, it still seems to go onto the internal memory. I don't quite understand what's going on, but it is of course limiting what I can do as the internal memory is very small.
When selecting install location as 'Storage Card' its as if the shortcut to that is pointing to some location on internal memory, as checking the memory usage shows my internal memory depleting and my storage card not changing.
Unless I move files by cutting and pasting afterwards.
Cheers in advance.

OK to narrow the problem down a bit... when I install something and it gives you the option where to install it i.e. on phone or storage card, whether I pick phone OR storage card it always ends up on the phone.
I cannot install programs to storage card! Which is not good as the phone memory is tiny!
Any ideas please?
Why is it whenever I plug in\out phone, the home screen is blank, then 10-20 seconds later all the icons\widgets appear?
Also, related I assume, when I reboot, all the icons come up as the green system standard icon, then the actual icon is populated about 3-5 minutes after. The phone can't seriously be THAT slow can it?
I have a feeling it's based on the apps on the internal vs external SD card, but still, this is 2011, why do they take so long to populate?
Thanks!
This is a question I have had. I have noticed it takes several minutes to populate my Apps in app drawer.

Super annoying when I just want to get loaded back up and run an app and can't because it's not showing in the apps listing yet and on the main screen it's showing as a default system icon. Ugh :-(
Where it gtg to solve my problems?!?!
After unplugging your phone from a PC, the internal and external SD cards do a rescan.
It can take a while, especially depending on the size of your external card.
I suggest moving ALL of your apps back to the phone and off the SD card. This helps a bit. Unless you have a trillion apps, there's not much point putting apps on the SD card anymore. That was for old android phones that had little to no internal storage space for apps.

What's the best way to move them from external to internal with ease? Then how do I tell my phone to install to internal SD by default?

First of all, this isn't a matter of installing to the internal SD as opposed to the external SD. I recommend installing to the 2GB "Internal phone storage".
If you look under
Code:
Settings > SD card and phone storage
you'll see what I mean.
The internal phone storage never gets unmounted.
Go to:
Code:
Settings > Manage applications > On SD card
Click each app and the tap the "Move to phone button"
You could get the app SDMove which may help you manage your apps a bit easier. I'm sure there are dozens of other similar (maybe better) apps, too.
The only apps I install to the SD card are games. I really don't care if a game isn't available the second I unplug my phone from the PC.
I have no clue how to set everything to install to phone by default instead of some apps defaulting to SD. I believe it's something internal to the individual app installer itself.

Cool, I've moved everything over, and now just giving it some time to see if it feels snappier Thanks for the tips!
I'm using MIUI-1.12.9 with APPS2SD after preparing a 512MB partition for the apps on my 8GB Class2 MicroSD Card. The remaining section I used to store files for flashing, music, data, etc.
Now all of a sudden, my phone gives me 'You may remove the SD Card' error. It shows the MicroSD Card as unavailable and even when I connect vias USB, the computer cannot detect it. I tried connecting the card separately to the computer using an adapter, but no luck. However, it still reads the EXT3 partition where all the apps are stored as all the apps are still available to me.
Any ideas on what could be wrong and how to resolve this? I want to backup all my apps first but I can't do that with out Android recognizing the card
I don't have a solution for you, but just out of curiosity why in the hell do you use APPS2SD on Defy? After you install the ROM there is around 1GB of free space on the internal memory. This is more than enough to install over 100 apps. Moreover you can move some of the to SD-card from the interface (Manage Applications).
I figured, the more space I free up the more breathing space right? Anywhich way it was working great. No noticeable lag even though I use a Class 2 SD Card. When all of a sudden after over a week, it suddenly gives me a notification "You can safely remove your SD Card now." Huh? Even after reboot, it gives me the same message. I took out the card and plugged it directly in and it doesn't read, but the EXT3 partition still works fine!
I could just get a new card and start from scratch. But I'm intrigued by this error! Gotta get to the bottom of this. Didn't get any response on the General forum, so I figured I'd try my luck here at the risk of annoying a few people. Can anyone help with any suggestions?
Today my 32gb sd card stopped working on me and now when i try download and install apps all i get is not enough space yet i have 6gb internal memory.
I tried downloading apps of google chrome on the phone and installing that way but says the same thing,
The phone kept unmounting and mounting my sd card untill it didnt work..
I really dont know what to do, ive searched on the internet and everything and nothing seems to help.
I think you the sd card is either corrupted or removed unexpectedly (without unmounting)
Is your card readable when connected to PC or laptop? If yes this could be a minor problem. Switch off your phone, remove your sd card and re insert it.
Hope it may fix the problem.
Regarding space, the core apps and system UI will consume some hidden space even though you have space left over. Clear all cache, history and offline data, It will buy you space.
I have a china Feitneg H7189 Smartphone with a pretty low memory and decided to give this app a try.
The following are some details of my phone:
Internal space: 0.98GB
Phone Storage: 1.70GB
Sd Card: 16GB
So i partitioned my Sd card creating two primary partitions and one of them ext2 so that i could use with External2Internal App. I downloaded the app and configured it correctly, selected the necessary options such as "At boot" and swapped the sdcard with the memory.
Everything ran smoothly and brilliantly until i got two problems!
1) Every photo i take gets duplicated on the SD Card and on the Phone/internal memory which is very annoying to have a duplicate photo of everything.
2) I recently needed to turn off my phone which i rarely do to change the battery as i have 2 battery's and forgot to charge one of them. When i installed the other fully charged battery and turned on my device all the apps i downloaded where missing? ! Its as if the External2Internal App did not work. so i tried to manually go and arrange the settings again and try to make the swap again, but that did not work. I am going to flash my phone again and re-root it again to have a clean phone.
So basically my question is. Is there a way that i can arrange the problem of external2internal that when i turn off the phone my apps disappear, or do you recommend me using any other application which could help me swap my sd with my phones memory?
Thanks !
