i had stock froyo, 92, and i moved some apps over to the sd card.
last night i installed KANGED CM 6.0 RC1 and i want to reinstall or move the apps i have on the sd card back to the phone, how can i do that??
Thank you!
please help!
I read somewhere apps2sd apps should just reappear when you flash but they don't.
If you want to start over you can delete all the files in .android-secure on your sd card.
blah....
then what's the point of having apps2sd then?
I don't think the CM6 - RC1 has app2sd yet. You'll have to wait until CM6 - RC2. That's why I am still waiting to update to CM6. I could be wrong - shrug.

Am I missing something here? I have successfully formatted my card, I've been running JF 1.42, then JF 1.5, and right now I'm on Haykuro's Hero ROM... however in none of the ROMs did I manage to get the apps to install straight to SD... I have the card set up correctly (since Hero works), 1 partition as fat32, second as ext2 (using gparted)... I'm just not sure why it's not working... I'm installing apps with ASTRO... do I have to move them to SD card after I install them? app2sd application didn't work on my JF builds (well it worked but after I applied it, nothing installed at all, so I'm gonna count it as not working)...is it an ASTRO problem? starter 1GB card problem? something I'm doing wrong? I seem to be following everything 100% correctly but it still doesn't install to SD... thank you verymuch for your help!
On jf roms you have to install the marcus maximus files to get apps to sd working correctly.
Or you could install a pre-modified jf1.5 rom that are on these forums.
Did at anytime you get a warning of low space?
Just because your internal memory is going down doesn't mean the apps aren't on the sd.
If you got a warning of low space then there's a problem. If you can install more than 25+ apps without getting the low space warning you should be good.
Hope I helped even though I babbled lol
And also
This post doesn't belong in the ANDROID DEVELOPMENT thread!
Please post it in general or a mod please move this
Thank you
I do believe I ran out of space on one of the JF ROMs, I don't remember if it was on 1.42 or 1.5... I really wanna get this working on Hero... my memory is going down and I don't see the apps on the ext2 partition when I boot into linux on my laptop... I guess I'm gonna go app-crazy and install a bunch of applications and see if I run out of space again... also will pulling out a card on Hero work to see if where the apps keep getting installed? or will it just not boot?
I am going to soon install the Hero Rom but I have a question about updating it...I would like to have a lot of apps on my Ext partition so it would be problematic to keep wiping it and lots of trouble to keep all my music and photos as well...so since I would have a different SD card partitioned with all my stuff...would it be possible to take that sd card out...and use the stock sd card to update the Hero ROM's on my phone...like just having the update on that card, wiping and flashing and then putting in my partitioned card with all my apps and music... would that work..that way updating is as simple as switching sd cards to keep all my stuff???
Sorry for the long paragraph but if this works this will make me want to flash ROM updates more often.
Wiping doesn't effect your SD card, other then it breaks alot of apps. Your best bet is to reinstall ALL apps after a wipe so that way they don't FC. Putting the update on the SD card is easy and won't effect it, all your music should be there after a wipe from recovery.

ummm...i had reset my phone before when something wasnt working right and the problem was fixed...no root then. but music and photos were wiped out...it took me forever to download my 80 apps... and i saw on some thread here that if you use apps2Sd then you have to wipe the partition as well...and since I still will have the stock sd I mighters well use it...so I just want to know if everything will work if I switch Sd cards like that.

you dont have to wipe the ext all the time UNLESS you are goin to a different hero rom. i.e jachero to drizzy hero. i had to wipe my ext whenever i went to drizzy becuz i encountered a boot loop.
and whenever i do flash a new rom i always create a new folder on my desk top titled "g1 files (whatever date it is)" to create a back up my files just in case. and since swap recudes the sd card life its always best to create back up on the conmputer

After installing CM6 RC3 I have lost all my apps on the SD card, they did come back for a short time after a reboot but then disappeared again after another reboot. I cannot even uninstall them or reload them from the market as they just hang when I try to uninstall or re-install from the market.
When I look at application info, the apps on the SD just show "Computing" and nothing ever shows up.
Also, I am unable to mount the SD over USB.
I have gone back to stock ROM but I still have the issue.
I was using apps2SD but I made sure not to move any widgets or running apps.
I've tried booting into recovery to wipe data and cache but of course my recovery is broken.
If I missed this in the forums please give me a search that will give me results that are not too numerous to parse.
Thanks for any help.
There is no apps2SD support in CM6 or the stock rom, that's why you can't see them.
CM6 only support the FroYo apps on SD method right now, and they are working on a newer better apps2sd for future versions.
If you flash back to CM5, you might be able to see them, but I am not familiar with the old apps2SD method.
Then why did my apps show up in CM6? They were there and functioning fine, I think I must have messed with a setting somewhere.
FYI, I was able to restore my apps by deleting .android_secure from the SD card and then re-install Ti Backup and restore my apps.
Can someone explain how the app location setting in CM6 affects apps? I am thinking when I enabled this it screwed things up.
The .android_secure directory on the SD card is the 2.2 official apps to SD. So you probably were using that all along and something screwed up. That's why you could use them for a bit.
I've had some trouble with CM 6.1 because I haven't been able to install certain kind of apps; first the restore failed with Titanium Backup, so I tried on the market, but that was unsuccessful too.
What seemed to solve the problem in 6.1 was telling in CM settings to install directly on the phone (CM Settings->Application Settings -> Install location-->Internal).
Now that I've got 6.1.1 the problem is back, and the previouse fix does not work. I can't seem to get back on the phone apps like StumbleUpon and SDMove.
I don't know what the problem is since everything worked in 6.0.
Anyone has any clues?
Thanks in advance
Do you have DarkTremor's apps2SD installed? If not, what always worked for me was to unmount the SD, install the app, remount the SD and then use froyo apps2SD to move it.
I am having the same problem but have DarkTremor's apps2SD and can't unmount the SD so I don't know what to do now.

Unmounting worked!
Well, thanks a lot.
But still, this is really annoying. I mean, I should be able to install without the need to unmount/remount every time!
Yeah it's really annoying now that unmounting isn't a possibility but no one seems to have an answer why this happens in either case.
I suspect it has something to do with the way the app wants to install. One developer I talked to mentioned that apps that want to install directly to SD have this issue and this is why unmounting works, it forces the app to install to internal memory. With DarkTremors though this is no longer possible so I don't know what to do.
I got this doubt.. I was using stock ROM (Android 2.1) and kernel for my X8 and i had app2sd 2.1, when i recently updated to 'latest' FroyoBread.. I had problems with updating, so i removed app2sd, reformated the SD card and it worked.
When i finally moved to FroyoBread, i started installing the applications, and just got stuck! And it said that there are no more space for any more apps.. I used app manager that came with Froyo, to move some apps to SD, but that didn't seem to do the trick.. Reinstalling app2sd didn't also work..
Do i need to setup some other version or there's some catch?
Before installing the apps:
Go to settings/CyanogenMod settings/application/install location/and tic the external option
After installing the apps:
Go to settings/applications/Manage applications/tic SD tab to manage..
widjet apps must install to internal
Thanks for this, was wery helpful
