Where are apps saved on the SD when using Cyans ROMs?
Using Astro I just realized I don't see any of my apps....
you can't see them with astro lol. they are in /system/sd/app. if you want to see them donwload root explorer from the market
when i download apps from the market they show in my notifications car like normal but once there done downloading it doesnt install. i have to go to the market and hit cancel and then try to download it again and again until in finally installs. i was told once to delete the download folder, the android-secure folder and the lost.dir folder on my sdcard and that works but i have to delete those folders over and over again everytime i wanna download one app.anyone have a solution or similar problems ?
i did notice that if i download an app and it doesnt install the apk file appears in my download folder and i could use astro to install in manually. THIS IS REALLY FRUSTERATING!
Try clearing data+cache for the market, fixed It when I had a problem downloading.
If updating an app stored on the SD, try moving the app back to the phone first.
If installing a new app, try unmounting the SD first, and remount afterwards.

thanks guys tried to clear cache and that didnt work. and i could move my app back to internal and then back to external but my a2sd is automatically implemented with a ext3. so i flash the rom and its auto moves my a2sd. even in titanium i cant move a2sd. so how would i do that. for example one app im trying to update is flash 10.1
Hi,
on Gingerbread/CM7, is there a way to put more apps to the /system partition? I am always low on space for apps, even though i have moved almost all my apps to sd using the A2SD function. Currently, only market and rommanager are on /system, i would like to move some more gapps to /system if possiblr.
PS. DT apps2sd is no option for me since it keeps on crashing my nexus one.
Thanks!
Use Root Explorer from the market and move the .APK's to /system/app. Other alternative is to use the premium version of Titanium Backup and use the option to "integrate update into ROM."

i just finally switched to yesterday's CM7 nightly, and with moving all my apps to the SD card with just the standard (but improved via gingerbread) a2sd method, i now have 130MB free space with 81 apps installed. i wonder if the new release puts some things on system partition automatically that i dont know about.

Thanks, I think the 130MB is your free space on the sd-card? Isn't 130MB about the total space available for apps?

Thanks, Root explorer does the trick! Isn't Titanium's "integrate update into ROM" only available for apps that are already in the system dir?

Sorry, yes. But this a handy feature because even though you may have a app stored within \system\app, if you install a market update, the update will go to \data\app. You would then need to manually move the update to \system\app and replace the old .apk file. If you don't, then the app is stored in 2 places and is an inefficient use of memory.

No that is my internal free space. I just moved all apps to the card with the standard froyo method.

So I can just manually move apps with root explorer to free up space? I'll give it a shot.
Sorry I have 110 free, not 130. I just checked.
Dumb question, once I move the app It no longer opens cause it has moved. How exactly do I handle this? I tried the market, vending, for example.
Never mind, change permissions then reboot solved it. BTW strangely before you reboot the free space actually goes in the opposite direction showing less free space after the move, till a reboot.
Glad it worked for you Roger. Personally, I have never had to change the permissions, but just needed to make sure I renamed the update exactly the same as was in system, reboot and enjoy.
Seems to be working well. I'm still confused how I have so much free space. It says 114mb free right now with 81 apps installed. Granted they are just regular sized apps, nothing huge.
Hi all,
my Gtab P1000 2.2 rooted is out of space.
With Titanium Backup i've seen that i have only 5 MB available in system rom space
infact i tried to install an application of 13,62 MB and i'm unable to do it.
Is there a way to clean up system rom? is the fault of the installed applications?
thanks
one last question: my tab is rooted if i upgrade to gingerbread would i re-root the device?
move some app from your phone to sdcard
use titanium if can do so or search on the market there is alot of them up there
I've already copied some apps to sd but nothing is changed.
i ve 2gb for apps and i have 1,46 gb free
system rom is almost empty. If i uninstall apps or move them in SD nothing change....
I'm having the same prob. I've moved all programs to SD (via move to SD card or link2SD program) but it doesn't solve the message or the quota.
I think it's a bug.
I use Titanium Backup PRO and it tells me that my system rom has 285MB and I only have 4.75MB FREE...what uses this space and how do I get more FREE? I have tried uninstalling several applications but that number doesn't change.
Internal: 1.98GB 1.48 Free
DB dataa; 132 MB 1.48GB Free
SD card: 13.9 GB 11.2 GB Free
Ext SD card: 15.9 GB 15.5 Free
The system ROM: seems to be the only one almost out of space. Can someone tell me what to do?
Thanks

system ROM would be anything under /system
apps that are included under /system/app, lib files, config files
basically it DOESNT matter that its almost out, you DONT need to be installing stuff to system. if you are stock, you can uninstall some of the bloat, or if your rom builder put everything in /system/app/ you can try converting some of them to user apps using titanium backup. do not go willy nilly converting everything to user apps, you will kill your rom and it will probably cause you to have to reload it.
dont know why you think you need more space though.

Thank you for your response I appreciate your time and sharing of your knowledge.
I was concerned because when I go to the market place to install something it tells me that I don't have enough space but if I reboot I can then install. So I looked in TB to see what kind of space I was out of and didn't know about that System ROM space. I am rooted and have a AT&T Samsung Captivate Galaxy S with android 2.2. I have all the AT&T stuff frozen I think.
Thanks again

when you download stuff from the market, it installs to /data/app
nothing should be getting installed to /system at all
