can someone tell me how to install apps into sd card then open them..i found that my legend's internal memory not enough for me..
What ROM are you using? First of all your phone needs to be rooted.. Second.. You need a ROM that supports App2SD (Applications To SD) - Then you can move the apps to sd and install further apps directly to SD
Most ROMS in this forum supports apps2sd
im planning change my ROM right now..im going to use Indigo bean 0.6..
is that support app2sd?
I use this one and i don't see app2sd ! :/
I just flashed with modacos rom with app2sd. But i dont see the app anywhere in the programs list nor does any app ask me which drive it would like to be installed in. I partitioned my sd with Rom Manager too.
yup..im using modaco with a2sd but still cant found any way to install it into sd card..
any idea?
In my opinion Darktremor app2sd is the best way to install app in sd, you can unpack your current rom, add darktremor, and build it again.

errr..can u give me more explanation about this..
honestly im newbie about this..and i haven't partition my sd card
ext2 or 3 partition is a must for all app2sd ROM except CM6 that use app2sd on Fat32
in indigo the app2sd is not available unless you make an ext partition on your sdcard

Ok, I just got my nexus today and flashed Modaco alpha 21.
I saw there was an apps2sd version but instead downloaded the normal one.
Do I really need apps2sd on a 4gb class 2 card?
Can you point me in the direction of how to set this up for modaco.
Also, do I need swap?

Thats what i used, its fairly simple and well wrote. Use the recovery ROM method, its the fastest and easiest.
To set up App2SD, you need an ext partition on your SD card and the userinit.sh script to initialise App2SD (search for it!!)... a faster SD card is recommended for App2SD, though it will work you ur 4GB class 2 card. Use App2SD only if you want to install many market applications and u know that the internal memory won't suffice. And for the Nexus one, if you've got HiMem enabled, you do not need any swap partition...
My HTC Hero is running low on memory space (I have Apps2sd installed also, but it can't move all apps), so I partitioned my 8G SD card with ROM manager, with 32M swap, 1g ext4 and the rest being FAT32.
After reboot, I still only see 160M of internal memory from settings, which is the original, and about 6.1G on SD card. That means it already took out the 1G, but why I don't see it as internal memory? Is it because of ex4? I tried ex3 too and got the same.
I have backed up the original SD card, but have not copied it back to the partitioned SD card yet. Anything else I need to do in order to see the expanded Internal Memory?
Thanks in advance!

Your sdcard space has nothing to do with internal memory. What you need to do if you want to have more space is 1 or 2 of a few different things: go into root explorer, move apps from /data/app to /system/app; Use Firerat's Custom MTD Partitions
either of those should give you more internal memory.

I read that after partitioning the SD card, apps will be installed into the ext3/4 partition automatically. But that's not the case after I partitioned. Then I found I need to install app2sd+ instead of app2sd. Is that true?
Where do I download app2sd+ ? do I need to flash a different ROM? I am having CM 6.2.0 now.
Thanks!

CM6.2 has native apps2sd. Go to settings>CM settings>Application settings and select "Allow application moving", then select "External" for Isntall location.
Also, you can move apps that don't install or allow swap to the SD via Titanium Backup.
Just be warned that any apps that have widgets lose widget functionality if you move them to the SD.

Does it install ALL apps to SD card? I thought it's the same as App2sd, only moving those apps that specified by the developers as movable. And there are many apps that can't be moved to external.
My understanding is by partitioning the SD card, the EXT2/3/4 part is considered as part of the "internal memory" so that ALL apps will be installed here, thus free the real internal memory and lead to better performance.
The problem is it doesn't work after partitioning and I read that it needs app2sd+ or app2sd EXT to work, and I am having trouble finding them...
Thanks any way.

Not all, but most. Like BrandoKC said, you can move more apps to the sd using Titanium Backup. Don't move anything with a widget you use, or it won't work anymore.

Are you talking about the paid version of Titanium? The free version doesn't have this feature.

CM's built-in Application Management can only move those apps that you can move by app2sd. I don't see such feature on the free Titanium Backup. My 160M internal memory is constantly under 20M of free memory.
I heard all the good things about using partitioned SD card. I have partitioned my card but that alone doesn't seem to work. it seems I also need to install some customized ROM on top of my CM 6.2 so that apps will be automatically installed on SD?
Thanks!
The free version of titanium does have it. I just used it on my fiances phone last weekend.

Hi guys,
I don't manage to understand what is the deal with types of app2sd.
On my MS i have froyomod installed and i can push "move to sd" in the app manager without creating a ext2 on my sd card.
1st question: where did the applications are being move to when i don't have a ext2 partition?
2nd question: what is the difference between having an ext2 partition or not having it?
Any one????

The native app2sd sends your applications to a DRMed container on the SD card. You do not need any special partition. App authors need to authorize this (to my knowledge) and does not always work super well.
The older style app2ext hack tricks the os into thinking that apps are installed into the phone nand when in fact this is just a link to the ext2/4 partition on the sdcard. This is apparently more reliable and works with every app.
I used both and dont both with apps2ext anymore since froyo. But i use a very small number of apps...i can imagine that for a fully loaded phone this can be very different.
Also, there was a lot of talk recently about RAM, lag, performance, etc when using each version in the CM7 thread. I didn't really pay attention, but it may interest you (last 2 or 3 days).

There are to method to move app to SDcard:
1. app2sd, this is native feature, all 2.2 rom support this method, but not all parts off a app move to sd, there is few thing still store in internal memory, with this method, all the data that can move to sd will store in .android_secure folder.
2. app2ext method. This method you need to create a ext2 partition on your sdcard, add some modules to support move app to ext2, and all app will store in "fake internal" memory!
Thanks a lot for answering my question!

I agree with this.
Hello,
my internal storage is nearly full. I cant intall some large applications anymore, altough all possible apps are moved to the SD card. (17/192MB)
I use the evil's nxsense Rom.
I also have partitioned the SD to 1024MB ext and swap.
I've heard that it's possible to extend the app storage with the SD.
How?
(Sorry, if this question is already answert somewhere, if that, please just send the link to the post)
Search Darktremor in the dev section...

If you installed eVIL's NXsense, it will automatically utilize EXT partition if present.
Repartition your SD card in recovery.
BACK IT UP FIRST - repartitioning erases everything.
Everything is on SD Card and still I have only 30mb free space...how can I clean up phone memory?
Install Root Explorer and delete the non-used apps
Hi install darktremor app2sd script! quick instuduction how to: first of all you have to partition your sd card via cwr then download darktremor app2sd script, put on sd and install zip from sd! its important to mount system and data first before install darktremor! then reboot if its done your phone will reboot again to put all apps on 2nd partion of sd card! then download app2sd gui from the market with this app you can move dalvic cache to sd also! and if both done tada emty interial memory ;-) ok one thing dont do or move anything in settings/apps on the phone after you install darktremor cause it ruins the script and it will not work anymore! do settings when only with app2sd gui!

You can try also this:

Even though everything is being installed on the sd card the root or core files of the app gets installed on the phone memory not much but a bit

Moving apps to sd-card doesn't move complete app (it only move movable part of the app to sdcard and leave other to internal memory)....
So, partitioning is recommended. Partition your sdcard and install a2sd scripts to move app to sd-ext. For more info regarding this search at http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com
Best solution for me: with Titanium Backup Pro i used integrate sys Dalvik into ROM now i have free internal memory
I think s2e works just fine for our CM7, except the "Download Cache" option... Just don't tick it.
