Hello everyone!
I'm thinking of upgrading to the Legend from the Jade and i read somewhere that apps cannot be installed on the memory card. Is this true? I sure hope not! The built in memory of the legend surely is not enough for the apps that i would like to install in it. Appreciate and thanks for the feedback in advance!
Android 2.1 does not allow apps to be stored on sd card, the forth coming android 2.2 software upgrade does allow this.

HI first id like to say thanks to all the people who develloped this software for my blackstone its given my old phone a wonderfull lease of life.
I am new to this whole scene so if my question seems a little stupid please let me know.
I have the 2.2 Froyo version installed (I think) and all is working wonderfully apart from the camera but i never use that anyway oh and the ability to change wall paper just reverts the wallpaper back to the origional. but again thats not a problem.
But i have a question. Is it possible to install my apps to my sd card ? i want to try a few apps ive downloaded but im running out of space on my internal memory i would like to install apps to run of my sd like in winmo is this possible?
Any help would be much appreciated
And again thanks for this wonderfull software

I haven't tried this so don't know if it works on our blackstones, but apparently with 2.2 you can now move installed apps to your SD Card if the app has been written to support that feature. Read more - http://www.androidtapp.com/android-...-sd-card-feature-in-android-2-2-requires-you/
any updates on this? i tried to use the provided solutions but i lost the access to mai blackstone sdcard....
there is this free app on the market. search app 2 SD.
this will show what apps that can be moved to SD card.
Hi sorry for the late reply ive been busy.
I tried App 2 SD and it told me which apps i can move to my sd card, this is good but when you actually try to move the apps it tells me operation failed.
Its not a big problem i just thought it may help in memory use to have apps installed on the memory card like windows mobile.
The data.img is only 256mb and all your app's are stored in that file..If you want to expand the data.img to have more app you either have to do it yourself or modify the rootfs

after you install an app go to application management,select the installed application and there will be a button called move to sd
Hi, is there any way of storing the apps and running them from the SD card on the Wildfire?
Cheers,

I guess you must be new to Android so welcome.
Phones running on Android 2.1 CANNOT store apps in SD card by default.
Only phones running on Android 2.2 would be possible to do so.
However there are a number of ways you can do to enable this function in your phone.
1.root your phone then flash a custom Rom with apps to SD capability or comes with 2.2
2.patiently wait for 2.2 to come...
3. Backup apps and delete them when not in use
4. Live with it..
Correct me if I had missed out anything.

Hi folfs, yes, I've searched, there are plenty of posts discussing APP to SD issues.
But here, since I'm from the Nexus 1 league, I was wondering if there is any easy way to install the apps to sd automatically?
Specifically, I'm on Axura 2.1, any tricks in the ROM where I could go and make the APP2SD selections?
Thanks in advance.
Hi All,
I have couple of basic question regarding rooting my xperia play. First of all i am not sure what i want is rooting only, so i will explain my problem, please let me know what i am trying to do is correct or not.
With the device, i got a dumb internal memory. I am a gaming freak, so downloaded most of the games and apps. So now i m running out of memory(Internal + SD card).
Today i purchased 16GB card over 8GB, which solved one problem.
Another problem is with the Internal memory. only 30MB is free currently.
1) Somewhere i read that if i root the device, i can force move all the applications to the SD card. so i decided to root. Is this the only solution?
2) I am following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043630
thread for rooting, can you please let know the OS image mentioned in there is the latest?
3) If there are multiple flavors of OS for xperia play, can you please let me know which the best OS to flash?
Thanks,
Harsha

@AndroHero:
Thanks for your help. It really helped me a lot. With the help of App 2 SD i moved all possible apps to SD. Now internal memory has 130MB free.
I have some more questions,
1) After i move any game to SD, i could still see its presence in internal memory but in few KB's. Is this the data of my progress in that game?
2) How to move already pre-installed games to SD? Also a game called "Crash......" i want to un-install.
3) Going forward, with installing new games and apps, i may run out of internal memory again, that's the time to root?
Thanks,
Harsha

1. Not too sure but I know it leaves a footprint in your internal memory.
2. Use Titanium Backup to remove them and then reinstall the apk to force them to the sd card. I did this with fifa, sims, etc.
3. Yes

Hi guys,
I have an old HTC HD2 and today i have been trying to find a version of android that installs on the internal memory (NOT on the sdcard, which I don't have). I think it has to be a DAF file? On several sites and tutorials I have seen people having some version of android installed on the phone, but i have been looking on here for a few hours now but I'm not able to find any... Does it still exist? I already task29 my phone so i think it's completely formatted and has no OS on it now, so If anyone knows a link to a android version that can be installed on the phone memory without sd card, it would help me a lot!
Thanks in advance!
I think those builds are still available, but you need to search in the very od threads. ANd you need to make sure it is Sense 1.0 because newer versions are larger so either you would not have enough space for user data or the ROM would not fit internal storage anyway.
