I should try to get a clear answer before i proceed with moving apps again. Under settings->applications settings-> manage applications, I got four tabs in there. "downloaded", "all", "sdcard" & "running". Currently, I only got a few apps under SDCARD and none of them are checked to the right. I could long press on each of them and open up a page where I could clear data, force stop, uninstall and move to sdcard. I could perform similar operation under "downloaded" tab and "all" tabs as well.
My question is (1) why some apps are grouped under SDCARD tab while others are not (2) which are the widgets apps that I am not supposed to move? will these widgets actually have "move to sdcard" option blanked out to prevent me from moving them? if not, how could I tell between ordinary apps and widget apps?
(3)I seem to read somewhere that says apps will automatically be moved anyway if I have a sd-ext paritition in ext2-4. I suppose there's a script during initialization that does that. Is this true?
(4) there's a setting under cyanogenmod settings -> applications called allow application moving. it is unchecked right now so what exactly does it control?

I loaded the Nookie Froyo to SDCARD and have been having weird issue all of which has been reported here and in other forums elsewhere. I thought I would take a few minutes and list them out and how I fixed it and also list a few I am still having to see if there is any resolution.
These resolutions are based on posts from this forum and others. I do not have the links for them all as I have scoured so many and tried so many things I stopped book marking them.
My Nookie Froyo is 0.6.8 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922324 (Thank you Brianf21) and I used the free EASEUS Partition Manager to extend #4 to the end of the 8GB SDCARD (http://www.partition-tool.com/). I am also using the multi-u-boot.bin from rookie1 (sweet thing as I can boot SDCARD or stock Nook Color w/out taking out the card!)
If I missed credit to anyone please forgive me. I am not a developer, just an end user that likes to play and am working off of other people’s hard work.
Problem 1: Market downloads apps and then stops and won’t download anymore.
Resolution: Go into Settings/Application Settings/Manage applications. Select ALL. Scroll down to Market and tap it. Tap Force Stop. Tab Clear Data and tap ok to any warning messages. Go to Google Services Framework in All Applications and tap Clear Data. Tap OK and and warning. Power off and back on.
Market should work now and if you got sign in errors for Goggle Talk that should also work. On first run of Market you may not see all of you installed apps. After I installed an app, exited market and went back in all installed Apps were present and accounted for. Been good since doing this and will continue to monitor.
Problem2: WiFi doesn’t work after sleep.
Resolution: Go into Settings/Wireless Networks and Settings/Wifi Settings Hit the Menu Button and tap Advanced. Select Wifi Sleep policy and set it to Never.
Go back to Wireless Networks and Settings and tap Mobile networks. Deselect anything in there that is 2g/3g (I have a nook color so not needed for me).
Run a file manager program that gives you root access (I used Root Explorer). Go into /System/App and rename Phone.apk to Phone.apk.old. Rename TelephonyProvider.apk also to .old. Power off and back on again as you will eventually get errors the phone doesn’t work. Again I am on a Nook Color so no phone and no need to load it.
Problem3: Can’t get the latest Google Framework to load.
problem 3 was resolved kinda by a new build from the developer
Problem 4: Market not showing all apps (protected apps missing)
edit the build.prop using something like root explorer. change the ro.build.fingerprint line to what is shown below (make a backup copy just in case). go into device settings and clear the market cache (not data) and force stop. clear the data for the google framework and force stop. reboot your nook and go into the market. search for something that was missing like vevo. if it apears you should be good.
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.2.1/FRG83D/60505:user/release-keys
Mike…
Using Titanium Backup (with CM7.0.2), I moved many apps from internal storage to SD card and it seemed to work just fine. However I noticed that I had not selected "Allow application moving" from the "Application" menu under CyanogenMod settings before I moved the apps with Titanium. What is the purpose of this CM7 setting when it is disabled (which is the default) if apps can be moved anyway? Many thanks in advance!

You're moving apps using Titanium and given it su permissions that's why. It's like what's the purpose of locking your door when this guy Titanium has been given a master key.

Thanks, robot8. That's what I thought the CM7 setting was for but even though it was set to not allow moving apps, I will still able to move the apps with Titanium.
My recent apps menu sometimes lists the wrong apps--for example, I open program A, go home, open program B, then open the multitasking menu and find that program A is not in the list of recent apps (or it is near the top, not recent). Closing other apps will sometimes cause the list to be correct next time I open it, but I may need to close *all* the apps before it works (then the list will show a few apps that were lost before and were not in the old recent apps menu). I have a custom ROM and have installed mods, so I'd like to know whether others have experienced the same problem. I'd really like a way to fix it, but I think that's too much to hope for. Thanks!
Hey guys I have an issue with my new phone. For some reason I cannot get my Honeywell T6 geofencing to work unless I put the app in the foreground. I've also noticed I don't get any notifications until several hours later for my apps and Gmail. I checked all these apps and they have background data enabled and I don't have the data saver on either. Any ideas??
Here's a few things to try:
Go to Settings -> Device care -> Battery
Select the 3 dots in the upper right and select Settings -> Sleeping apps
Verify the apps you have trouble with aren't listed in there.
Then, from the main settings screen go to Apps.
Find one of the apps you're having trouble with and tap on it (or just select any app you wish).
Select Battery -> Optimize battery usage
Change the drop-down from "Apps not optimized" to "All".
Verify that the apps you have issues with are not enabled.
I had this same exact problem with mine. The only way I would be able to get app notifications to come through was to reboot and everything would come flooding in. I tried the app sleeping apps thing but there was only about 5 apps in there, and out of all the apps I was missing notifications from only one of them was in there. The problem went away on its own though. Not a single clue as to what was going on or causing the issue.
The second part fixed my issues! Thanks!!!! I was scratching my head wondering what was going on! Once I disabled the honeywell it instantly recognized that I was within the geofence (ive been home for 20mins now)and started up my furnace!
I rooted my 4XL and find that I'm locked out of doing anything with /sdcard (AKA /storage/emulated/0). Specifically, I'm trying to point Poweramp at the Music folder, and d/l AdAway's hosts files. Obviously there's a work-around to let apps use /sdcard, but what?
Apps have to ask permission through scoped storage.
For example, in PowerAmp, go to Settings > Music Folders... delete your previous selections if you're having trouble... click "Enable" next to your device name(which points to sdcard in effect) or click the + icon to pick otherwise. The system's folder picker will show up and you can either choose the root of device storage(~sdcard) or the Music folder. Once you tap "Use this folder" at the bottom, PowerAmp will show a list of checkboxes to select folders rooted at your selected folder. Check the desired folders and tap "Select Folders". PowerAmp should initiate a scan automatically.
Some apps cannot select the root of your device storage, but it seems like PowerAmp can. (I guess it identified itself to Google as a file manager)
I'm not following what you're trying to do with AdAway... it systemlessly modifies /etc/hosts and that will be overwritten every list update. Are you trying to get into Android/data/org.adaway?
Thanks for getting back to me.
PowerAmp has, in "Misc." options, a legacy option to manage access to SD's. That moved from my previous phone to the P4XL as part of the overall porting effort (I hate moving phones!!). Turn off the option and life is good. End of that problem.
AdAway... I'm confused about what happened right after I installed it, but it's alive and well now. It looked as though I couldn't get the host list to store anywhere in the phone. That's what prompted the question. When I looked at AdAway just now, it says it killed off five figures worth of ads. Yea!
Why things looked weird then, and look fine now, is a mystery I leave for others to fret over. Having too many other mysteries in my life (e.g. where do my car keys go when I need them the most?), I'll let this mystery age out of my "to be puzzled over" queue.
