Hey guys i was thinking too move the SE active launcher to SD card, sometimes.. Currently iam running on v.23 FROYOBREAD but at times my phone gets restarted, when on active launcher. My widgets also doesn't work sometimes. When i install a a widget i have to move it to phone memory. This makes my phone slow. guys please help me.
I say don't move UI apps to the SD card, meaning launchers and widgets. It will only result in instability.

i am noticing many settings/apps are not loading up when i restart my nexus. for example, the market doesnt show all my apps in the downloaded section, my swype and swiftkey isnt enabled (checkmarked in settings), and apps installed on card dont show up instantly (but not a biggie because they will all load up once nexus is fully powered up). is anyone else having these power up problems?

i found apps that should start up when froyo is loading up wont auto start if the apps are installed to SD. move these apps (like weatherbug elite, locale, mylock, meebo, live wallpapers, switch pro, y5, swype or any keyboards) to phone then run them. reboot the phone and they should all load up. took me some time to figure this out because after moving some apps they would show up as not installed but on another reboot they showed up fine. this solves the "why are my apps not auto starting on reboot/power up with froyo 2.2"

Kind of sounds like an issue with apps on the SD card maybe?
I'd maybe look at pushing those back onto internal storage to see if it has any effect on things. Any apps installed to the SD card will definitely not load instantly - the phone doesn't actually scan the SD card until the OS is pretty much fully loaded as I understand it.
Also, what he ^^^ said.
yes i dont mind them taking a while since they seem to load after the phone is fully powered up so not a biggie there. i will try what iammuze suggested

I'm thinking that I may have a bad SD card in my N1.
Current setup:
[email protected] [v2.8] MCR r19 MOD [FRF83]
Old style A2SD+
After a little while, in this case an hour or so, any app that is installed/moved to the SD card become inaccessible. The OS sees the app, sort of. Most of the time the link to an app disappears all together. Sometime there will still be a link to an app, but when I try to launch it, it says the app is no longer installed. I'll go into the app manager(settings, application, manage) and apps that were installed/moved to the SD card just show a generic SD card icon and I can't get any info for the app. I try restarting/force stopping the launcher (both LauncherPro and ADW) and sometime the apps will show up again and will work, sometime the icon will show but will not launch, and sometime the app are still gone. And eventually, I will not be able to see the SD card when hooked to my computer. On the flip side though, if I boot into recovery(RA 1.0.7), I can turn on USB-MS Toggle and I can copy to and from the SD card all I want.
I just a full wipe(factory reset, cache, dalvik, ext, battery, rotate) because I was having these problems before, and I was using the regular Froyo A2SD before, so I decided to us the old style A2SD+ this time to see if that fixed the problem, but it's still happening.
Again, I'm thinking bad SD card, but I'd like some other opinions/ideas/confirmations.
So no one has any thoughts on this?
I have the N1 rooted with cyonagen latest Rom and I notice that anytime I hook up my data cable to computer to transfer files that after I disconnect I am losing some widgets on my home screen. I had the app batt widget and Tajm and also silent widget (all installed from the market). after I disconnect all apps disappeared and left with the message,"problem loading widget". I checked in the add to home screen widgets and the names of the apps are not there. I then checked in the settings/ applications/...and then apps show as being installed on the phone.I also notice that my input method for Texting also is gone and reset to the default android Text Input. I then have to go to my settings/keyboard and then check the Sywpe box or the Swiftkey box. Has anyone experienced anything like this? its driving me crazy as I have to uninstall and intall apps all over again. Thanks in advance
sounds like you have apps installed to the memory card. its a well known issue that any apps on the sd card become not viewable when connected to usb. and wigets cannot be installed to the sd card for this same reason.

Thanks for the response, Yes I do have my apps installed to the memory card. I was not aware of these problems of widgets & apps. I guess I will have to move my widgets to memory.
well i got 2 questions ..
is there any way to see how Froyo decide wich apps/games could be moved to external SD card and wich not?
Since i would like to throw all apps on external SD..
i serch the WWW and ppl said that core apps you cannot move, but the rest you shuld be abel to move to external SD card.
and second .. well .. i just realize that when i enter settings my background is going black. Maybe since before i was having mostly black background and didint notice, so is that like normal or i ****ed up in some settings?
i made mistake .. when i said settings window i mean application window background ..
so can anyone just say when they enter application from home screen does they background goes black or not?
thx
Hello guys. I really need to solve this annoying problem.
So here's what's going on. I have app2sd pro. I used it to move all of my movable apps to the internal sd card. It's 11gb and has 1.84 gb free.
So idk how but sd card keeps getting filled. But that's another problem. (if you know how to solve it please tell me. )
The main problem is. All of the apps on sd card somehow decide to disappear from app drawer.
Even when I search for them they don't come up. So I go to app2sd and here's what I find on sd card tab: "no movable applications found from the storage" wth does that mean?
Anyways i decide to restart and all apps come back. But within 1-2 hours all of them disappear again. Help!!!
Thanks!
