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.

Can anyone please tell me how to fix this?
Depends on what ROM you are using some roms have auto apps2sd. Like I use CyMOD that has it all set for you.
Yeah, my guess is that you're using an Apps2SD ROM that has them stored on the SD card, so as soon as you wipe, they reappear because the wipe doesn't affect the SD card.
Apps2SD will reinstall the apps.
it was on the jf 1.5 adp rom

It's possible, that Market remembers Your phone, and if You had error when installing app, after wipe Market will try to install it one more time (have got one game installing each time I reflash rom, it was funny ).
I don't know how to fix it.
Hi...
That was happening to me.
I has two partition (FAT32 and EXT2) and the applications still save in ext2 side. I just re-format the ext2 partition and that's it!
Well in the last days I've been having problems uploading things from my sdcard from apps, I thought it was an a2sd issue so I removed my ext3 partition from my sdcard by entering parted and use rm 2, so when I rebooted it showed my previous home screen with the same apps and it said that app wasn't installed on phone so I check my internal storage and it said 11 mb of storage left and that didn't make any sense so then I wiped and formatted my sdcard and rebooted and it said 20 mb left so I enter my downloads from market and see that it says my apps are installed but they don't show on my app tray so I'm guessing that apps are not there but the phone is reading it wrong. So I wiped installed CM 3.9.7 again and now I can't install apps from market or anywhere else
shouldn't this be in the Q&A?
I saw your signature and your running ROM: Cyanogen's MOD (3.9.7)...
Cyanogen warned you NOT TO INSTALL Apps2sd!
Format your sdcard ext partion and then wipe and install Cyanogen's MOD...
Everything will go back to normal

No I didn't use any scripts to activata apps2sd because its automatic, what I'm trying to do is reverse apps2sd so I can install apps on my phone instead of my sdcard I already removed my ext 3 partition
do you have a card reader?

Yes I do have a card reader
If you are running Cyanogen's mod, then I don't believe you'll be able to have your apps on your phone unless you do NOT have an ext 2/3 partition. If your SD card is only Fat32, then the mod won't have any place to move the apps and will leave it on your phone.
Atleast that's how I understood it, if someone who actually knows what they are talking about contradicts me, go with them.

Yeah that's how it is, I had ext3 partition before but I removed it because I was having malfunctions with a lot of different apps so I thought removing the partition would do it but no now I can't install apps.
I want to undo apps2sd I don't want it anymore, I want apps installed on my phone
I would be to reformat your card to just fat32 (I would just do it in windows or ubuntu, I wouldn't run any scripts to do it). Then load up cyanogens rom on your card, wipe, and update. You will have a fresh install and apps should go to your phone and not SD.

ok i'll try doing that, tell you if it works later on
I would also clean out dalvik-cache
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
I think that's where part of your problem is, don't quote me on that though
In my personal opinion, it's good to rebuild your dalvik-cache everynow and then just to make sure you don't have any junk in there. I suspect that you may have number of things in there since you did not uninstall apps but rather nuked the partition. Who knows... do it, it may help
Good luck

you are definitely the man haha it worked, i can install apps but have 55mbs of free space is that ok?
Hi,
I'm trying to make room on my phone cause it's complaining a lot, that it needs more space
Tried to use " Move to SDcard" in the manage applications, abut the phone reboots itself, and ofcourse the app hasn't moved anywhere.
What shall I do?
no one has an answer for that???????
Same thing has been happening to me. It's frustrating to have to delete apps because I'm out of space. I can't wait until CM with A2SD drops.
I used to get reboots whenever trying to move to SD. I couldn't figure out a fix so I backed up with Titanium and wiped and restored. :-/ Probably not what you wanted to hear.
if youre rooted get the RoDrIgUeZsTyLe or leofroyo rom.
Apps2sd via an ext partition works well on FRF83
you can wait for CM6 or do it yourself now.

a2sd from Darktremor/tkirton
Thanks for all the replies try tto wipe this evening, and see what will happen.
So I wiped and re-installed the Froyo, it solved the problem...
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 have searched for this issue but I cannot find an answer
I have just done a factory reset to my XT720, which was rooted and installed with apps2sd. I noticed that after resetting, the apps that are on the SD card cannot be found in the menu.
Also, when I try to install apps2sd again through adb, it shows a few errors:
warning'/system/bin/busybox' exists, use -f to overwrite
warning'/system/lib/modules/ext2.ko' exists, use -f to overwrite insmod:can't insert 'system/lib/modyles/ext.ko':File exists
mkdir failed for /system/sd, File exists
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd failed: Device or resource busy
sorry, mount sd ext2 fail!!!
So what should I do to get apps2sd back working?
I am still a newbie to Android and please forgive me if this is a stupid question. If there is a solution out there, I'll appreciate if somebody can post the link for me. I have been searching for 2 hours....
Reflashing my phone worked for me... maybe try that and then reinstall... should work fine
Thanks for your help
But is there another way to fix it?
And will the apps come back after I install the apps2sd again?
delete files, that couldn't be removed throuth adb, using Root Explorer and try to reinstall App2SD again. I like more Move2SD Enabler than App2SD.
thanks forbrand
i've solved the problem by flashing the rom.
Apps2sd installed smoothly after flashing
I didn't know there is sth called Move2SD.
How is it better than Apps2sd, say easier installation?

move2sd efforts to move applications to sd which app2sd doesn't affort and after moving everything works fine.

are you sure it's Move 2 SD ? i though that was only for Froyo
the only App APK that works in 2.1 is App2Card... as far as i know.
and App2SD is a script
