running apps from sd card help

hello everyone
just got my 8g class6 card partitioned to ext2
running cm3.6.5 and it shows my card being partitioned.
now my question is, what else do i need to do in order for my apps to run from the sd card?? I'm very new to all of this and need some help.
i thought cm's build would automatically do this but i've downloaded apps from the market and they take up my available memory up so i'm missing something. hehe.
do i need a certain app to do this or commands of some sort?
I've tried searching the site but can't find simple to understand instructions.
Thanks again in advance for any help.

Nope, Cyan should automatically be doing it for you. Try rebooting the phone. If they are doing something, it should be in small amounts. How many apps/how much room remaining on the internal memory?

cool, thanks for the reply.
wierd thing is that when I had flashed cm's rom i had 73 MB on internal
I then installed the hero theme and that changed it to 69 MB.
reflashed the rom again to take off the theme and MB still on 69.
I just installed like 15apps and they are indeed on my 2nd partition! w00t

It's the data. Data doesn't reside on the SD. So if you browse the internet or market, you will notice you're internal mem go down. But you can fix that by just deleting the caches

Apps2SD Issues on FroYo?

So today I managed to go from CM5 to stock to update 1 to FroYo; and on my SDcard I have it partitioned for 1GB of apps on the linux partition...
I didn't mind losing them all since I can get them all back via appaware; but I'm having issues moving them to SD as was shown in the froyo demo. The option's there in manage applications; but it's greyed out.
Any ideas as to why it's doing this/how to fix it?
I'm using the stock 4gb class 2 card that came with my nexus, and it's partitioned for 1gb of ext3 for apps2sd.
Tips?

I'm having the same issue.. my SD is 100% fat32.

The installing apps on the SD card in FroYo isn't really A2SD. The developers of each individual app has to support installing their app on an SD card. That was mentioned during the day 2 keynotes. So until the developer of your apps enables that function you won't be able to install on the SD Card.

yea that's my question also,I also have partitioned my card, just tell me what config should I keep to store apps back to sd card in froyo.. or if there is any method to completely wipe all partition in my card, I am using 8gb card..

No partition needed, just wait for the apps to be updated to support it.

This sucks
Can't wait for that source code...

[Q]Installation Unsuccessful - Apps2SD

Wondering if anybody here can help me out. I was cleaning out and backing up my SD card yesterday. Since then I have not been able to install anything straight to my SD card (installation unsuccessful error).
Apps will install to the phone and I can move them back and forth if App2SD is enabled. This is only a problem when space is low and it automatically installs to SD. Did I delete something needed on the SD card? Am I just stupid?
Nexus One - 2.2
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Same problem
I am having the exact same problem. cannot update an app that is on the sd card. Also cannot download an app that installs directly to sd card (for instance angry birds, had to start phone up without sd to install then reinsert sd and move app there. Using nexus one unrooted 2.2 if anyone knows a way to fix this please let me know
Update: okay so i moved all of my files to my computer from my sd. Formatted the memory card. And now it works again

[Q] Failed to move application. Not enough memory" when trying to move applications.

[Q] Failed to move application. Not enough memory" when trying to move applications.
I've been using my google skills to try to figure this one out, but unfortunately, I did not find a single helpful post. I'm hoping someone can help.
When trying to move an application to the internet SD card, I get the error "Failed to move application. Not enough memory".
Problem is, I have 1.7GB left "On phone" and 11.3GB left "On SD Card". I'm using Apps2sd to report how much storage is left and to determine which applications can be moved.
I have read that if I had an external memory card, it would work. But I want to know if there's something that can be done so that we can move them to the internal SD instead.
From what I saw on a Nexus One, it appears that other Android phones don't have an internal SD card. So it would make sense that it moves it only to the external SD...
I just want input on this "problem", I'd really like to know why I can't use my 16GB of storage for applications! And also, enlighten other people that might come across this.

same problem here, any work around this issue?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Same problem. I don't want to use an external SD card. I just want to move the apllications to the internal SD card.

same Fu******ing problem...i've formatted my sd card...nothing, i get always the same message...failed to move application not enough memory

Anyone? C'mon folks! Why is this happening? How do we fix it? Could it be because of the lagfix? Using Froyo JL2 on a rooted and lagfixed (OCLF) I9000M.

Same here. As the previous posters, I am unable to move any app to SD.
When I try (through Manage applications), I get the dreaded "Failed to move application. Not enough memory" even if I have plenty of memory.
Is this a common problem? Are we the only ones experiencing it?
I am running JPY, updated through Kies after disabling the Voodoo lagfix and then doing a factory reset.
Please please help. At least let us know that it is just us and that it works for the rest of JPYs out there.

Received my replacement handset from Orange (UK) today. The GPS is locking on soo well, functions properly now.
I flashed straight to JPY via reg patch, tried moving an app to SD, get the same error message.
It worked on my old handset 2.2.1 JPY also but with subpar GPS. Today i receive a new handset with a different problem lol.
Any ideas...anyone??

Hey all .... the move to SD is only valid for EXTERNAL SD card, NOT internal.
I successfully moved some apps over after I slot in an external SD card for my SGS. Tried this after I read somewhere the 'apps2sd' tool is designed only for EXTERNAL SD.
Hope this helps....

So is the internal SD only for data storage, not apps?

I found a solution!
I had the same exact problem as you have, and after some rummaging around the interwebs I've found an answer -> SDMove

Just for the sake of information, make sure you don't have the phone connected to your PC via cable. Just like how it happened with me.

Also try SDMaid in market. It cleans the sd.

same problem
I have the same problem and I have an external SD card. Captivate ATT android 2.2 (for now)

Link2sd questions

I have a rooted Fire Tablet 5th generation 5.0.1, i used the one click script and it worked like a charm. I've used Link2sd (the free version), created the 2nd partition, and moved everything I can, but it hasn't changed the amount of free space on the device, for that matter it doesn't seem to have increased the amount of space on my external sd card either, so I'm still getting out of space warning/messages. When I look at the list of programs in link2sd almost all of the programs I've added say: on sdcard, linked->sd card. I had rooted with an earlier method (not one click using twrp) and had started using link2sd then without a 2nd partition. After I used the one click script and created the 2nd partition, it's recognizing it but when I try to move something to sd card in link2sd it looks like it's sending it but it just hangs and never completes. My sd card has 11 gigs free in one partition and 2 in the other, my internal storage is down to 256mb or so. I used the debloat version of the script and have about 12 apps I've added either prior to or after the script.
Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Did you enable the links in Link2SD? You have to do this as it won't enable itself.
I have been using it and it works fine. I only have the free version currently.

Ok, this is gonna sound like a dumb question: Is it possible I set it up wrong? when I look at storage info in link2sd it shows:
internal 11% free
Sd Card 11% free
External SD 93% free
SD Card 2nd Part. 78% free
could I have setup the internal sd card (item 2 in list above) rather than the external SD (item 3)? If it's even possible to do that how can I tell? I can It be fixed or would I have to start all over?
Thanks

I just realised that I am using FolderMount, Thought it was Link2SD.
Sorry.

No worries, btw, I have been "enabling links" or "linking to SD" for everything I just haven't seen a decrease in the storage consumption on the fire's internal storage. I'm not familiar enough with the file system to be able to tell what is on the device and what is on the external sd card. When I ran the script I did choose the "de-bloat" version so I'd expected to see space free up.

Is there a decrease in free space on your SD Card?

Not as much as I would have thought but I haven't been able to add any programs or games of any size as I keep getting the out of storage message when trying to download from an appstore.

By far the biggest space consumer on internal storage is TWRP which I used to root. I'm still on 5.0.1 and my understanding is if I deleted it and ever updated to 5.1.1, at least currently, that TWRP would not work any longer. Not that I'm using it.

I've installed Link2sd but having few problems.
Just as I got everything running smooth and apps on the sd card i've started to get ' Sd card unexpectedly removed' errors which means I have to reboot each time.
Never had the error before so i'm not sure if it's link2sd causing it, or just a coincidence and that my sd card is actually failing. Tried removing the card, cleaning contacts etc.

link2sd working?
Hi,
How did you get link2sd to work?
I'm trying to get link2sd working on a Amazon fire 7 5th gen.
When I try to get the app to link to the second partition I get 'Mount script error. Mount script cannot be created. Mount no such device." I thought it was because bootloader was locked down but if you guys have link2sd working maybe I'm wrong.
I've rooted the tablet using Rootjunky's video which works well.
The os is 5.1.1

I had that problem last time my card went south. Sounds like the same for you...

When I tried this it said my device wasn't compatible. Looking for a tutorial.
UPDATE: Found a APP2SD (All in one) which did work perfectly.
