apps2sd on stock froyo?

Has anyone found any apps that this works with or do we need to wait for all the devs to come out with new versions? All i checked wouldn't allow me to move them.
Unrooted by the way.

Every app has to be updated by the author. No way around it.

If your rooted you can just switch the toggle to 2 and all the apps can be moved over to sd and new apps install there by defaut. I'm not a real app whore having maybe 50 more or less but still, they are every last one on the sd.

No problem thankyou. Just making sure I was not doing anything wrong with it lol.

Try searching im almost positive that there is a tut on it but, You need to install the Android SDK and create a connection to your device with the sdk.
You can then run the ADB command from terminal(mac OSX) or CMD(windows)

i switched setInstallLocation to 2 but if i try to move an app to the sd card or install anything from the market my phone just restarts.
anyone else having this problem?
i installed the ota from .zip directly over cyanogen 5.0.6 no wipe
sdcard is formatted fat32/ext3/swap
any help appreciated.

Is there an easy way to find out which of the currently installed apps have been updated to support FroYo's apps2sd?
There has to be a better way than to open Manage applications, sort by size and then click on on each app..

Had this problem a while back. A wipe was required before it worked correctly.

There is also my modded spare parts that let's you choose where to force install app, without having to go through adb

There's a free app on the market called "App 2 SD", it shows all apps that can be moved and moves them for you (that should be all of them
Visit this link from your phone or use Chrome-to-phone if you used the shell command above) if you're cool like that:
App2SD
[EDIT] Having the App 2 SD app running after using the command above will crash the apps!

yeah if you want to spend ages compiling

Cannot create soft link as root on rooted GT

At some point, I had created a soft link under Copilot so that I could have the maps on my external SD card... and it was working great.
But now, after installing new firmware, I am trying to recreate that link, and having trouble doing so. The image shows that I have tried two different ways to create that soft link, and either way should work (at least on other platforms they should!). But as can also be seen, they do not.
Can some kind soul point out what I might be doing wrong here?
Of course, when I try this without 'su' I get 'permission denied' or some variant.
Thanks,
Edit: I apologize. This dang "improved" app is not properly uploading pictures. Will update when I'm home, since, apparently, xda-developers isn't friendly with IE7, which is all I have here at work.
Edit2: Updated with picture. Thanks for any advice.

Yeah, I used to do that before my employer decided to disallow any USB access. Ports are deader than dead. :\

Even with root powers you cannot create symlinks on filesystems that do not support them. Like FAT32.

[TOOL] 1Click_CWR

I have made a small utility that will install CWR on the LG thrill. Untested on the optimus 3D....
Thanks to designgears for outlining the original procedure in this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257588
WARNING:
Your warranty is now void.
I take no responsibility for bricked, dead, or unresponsive phones. If you are uncomfortable using this tool, then DON'T. Furthermore, I created this utility for my phone, and decided to share it with the community.
This utility was coded in c# in a windows 7 environment. I can only speak to this working on windows 7. If it works on XP, great; but I only tested it on my windows 7 system. Confirmed working in XP by: gentzleon
Before you begin:
Phone must be rooted!!! Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1251663
Must have an SD card in the phone.(This is used for the storage of the recovery backup)
Drivers MUST be installed! ( Direct Link: Here)
Instructions:
1). Plug phone into computer via USB cable.
2). Turn on USB Debugging mode
3). Launch 1click_CRW with admin privilages (right click->run as Administrator)
4). Enjoy
Notice
Because people have different computer speeds and the fact I wrote this in 10 minutes, there is a pause between each command. Just click 'ok' when the popup messages says waiting.....Its fool proof.
ALSO: I did not put any error checking in it because I did not feel the need. I created this for fun and decided to share it.
If you see an error from ADB like no devices found, make sure your drivers are installed and restart the computer.

Sure no prob at all.

This installed cwr just fine but when i try to make a backup or install a new rom it says error cannot mount sd card does anyone know y this would happen

Freaking sweet. I was hoping to find something easier to do this with that having to go through the other method to flash GB Roms. That is what this is for right?

All those having problems installing, make sure all your permissions to /data are checked-(all 9) if not you will not be able to install recovery...
To set permissions you must;
Have root explorer or the free app ES file explorer.
---Navigate to /data and press and hold
---Select properties
---you will see at the bottome where it says permissions an option to change
--- Select change and make sure all are checked.,
---click out, reboot phone and it should all work..
There have been instances where the folder will change back permissions or not save the new permissions so just perform it again... Enjoy the 1 click CWM Now If this could be included in the script it will make it fool proof.....

Can you manualy mount the sd card in Clock work by going to mounts and storage...and mount sd card? ALso, i know this is a stupid question, but do you have an sd card in your phone?

No I can't manually mount it and I dont have an external sd card do I need one? I just switched phones from the samsung captivate and did not need one to mount sd card Is it different for the thrill

I think I may change this app and create it in a windows form...I will have a button that follows the same procedure as it does now, and a second button to fix permissions..However, should I have it apply the permission change to the entire /data? Seems unsafe to me, but I'm paranoid.
Also, work has been long, and my wife and I are in the final process of buying a new house. So that is why I haven't been on much.

Figured it out thanks for this tool

I can confirm this works on the p920 (or at least a p925 flashed over to a P920). I've done it on two phones.

How to transfer a huge file to the 4x HD ?

Hi all, i'm trying since a little time to transfer a MKV from my pc to my 4X HD external sd card but each time i try, at the end of the transfer, there is a message poping up that tells me the file transfer failed.
The file is exactly 4.37go and i don't understand why it doesn't work, knowing that all my other xvid files are well transfered (from 700mo to 2go).
Any idea, buddies ? :laugh:

1. Via recovery
2. Put it in few parts in .rar and extract it in 4X in Unrar app

Damn, it ain't possible to just copy and past it inside the phone ?
So weird.

It's impossible, because all Android phones and tablets have FAT32 file system, what means no more than 4GB file.

[Q] Possible to enable USB mass storage mode on Trickdroid 5.6.0 ?

Hi there,
I´m about to cry myself to bed tonight Just came home from vacation with my family and by accident I deleted the folder with ALL photos and videos I have taken..
So I have tried everything now to recover my files without any luck. I´m using a rooted HTC One (M7) with Trickdroid 5.6.0 and ClockworkMod 6.0.3.1. I found some recovery software for pc but the phone needs to be in USB mass storage mode in order for the recoverysoftware to work. But it is not possible to choose that mode in Trickdroid 5.6.
I triede to finde some UMS enabler on Playstore and also tried to use adb shell /system/bin/sdutil ums enable without any luck. I get an /system/bin/sh: sdutil not found message and now I´m tired and out of ideas.
Do you guys know any solution or workaround on how to fix this ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Pierre

The phone appears in windows as a portable device and not as usb mass storage. However I can browse all directories in windows but recovery software aps wont recognize the phone.

guess then there's no chance for you to get the pictures back (apart from really professional help, but this is expensive), because it seems that the data got already overwritten if these apps don't find anything...
