Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> "Application Name" -> Move to SD

It doesn't give me the option to move it to my sd...if I click on the app itself in manage apps....it doesn't say move ti sd anywhere....any suggestions?

Why don't you use apps2ext so they go on an ext partition? Froyo apps2sd kinda sucks IMO, makes things slower to mount, more problems with apps not showing up after a reboot, breaks widgets, only moves part of the space used for an application, etc..
And wouldn't this be a better question on the Modoco forum? Maybe I'm wrong

Is there any way to install Apps into SD card instead of phone memory?

I am running Darkstone Android. I would like to install all my apps onto the SD card instead of the phone memory. Is there any way to do that?
Thanks
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Select the app you want to move > Move to SD card. If you can it'll be available, otherwise it won't

Move all apps to SD

Is there any way to move all apps to SD, possibly without deleting my current setup?
I have found that some applications have "Move to SD" disabled, so my phone is filled up already.
Titanium Backup is free on the market - that will do it.
When you run it, open the menu, select batch, and look for "Move user apps to the SD card".
Titanium Backup does loads of other very useful stuff (as well as backing up, obviously ). It's worth getting anyway.
Just be aware that not all apps will run once you move them to the SD. If you find anything that doesn't work, just move it back to the phone and it should be okay.
In cyanogenmod you can set to allow all of your apps to move to sd. If you don't have CM you should try the method mentioned above

You cant and here is why:
If app uses any of the following features, it cannot be installed on the external storage. It's required by Android system.
App Widgets,
Services,
Input Method Engines,
Live Wallpapers,
Live Folders,
Alarm Services,
Account Managers,
Sync Adapters,
Device Administrators

With Titanium Backup, there's a batch operation to move all installed apps to external storage. But, if you want to install them directly to sd card, go to settings/cyanogenmod settings/applications. Then, check "Allow application moving", and set "Install location" to external.

I do that but I use my backup root so it installs direct on phone memory

[Q] Apps on sd

Ok I've got a stupid question but havent stumbled across the answer yet... HTC Aria, I've found plenty of info that says you can move apps over to the sd card to free up phone memory but I cant find the option to do this. I've gone through the settings menu, gone to the apps, but there is no button to 'move to sd'. Do I need to upgrade this phone to 2.2 in order to do this?
Personally I'm using the Samsung Captivate loaded with 2.2 and have no problems moving apps over to the card. Even apps that are 'apps2sd' enabled dont have the option to move on the Aria, apps that I was able to move around on my Captivate dont show the option on the htc.
Rooting and custom roms are not an issue for the user, they just keep getting 'out of memory' messages and asked me to fix the phone. The only downside to loading the official 2.2 update is the fact that all data is lost but I do have some spare time to reload everything - I just dont want to waste my time downloading and running the update if it still wont let me move apps over to the sd card. Thanks for the help
Android's built-in support for moving some applications to the SD card (apps2sd) requires Froyo (2.2), so that is why you aren't seeing the option. It is supported in the official 2.2 update for the Aria.
Those of us here don't like to recommend updating to the official 2.2 release because it makes it impossible to root your phone or install custom ROMs at a later point in time. There are a few custom ROMs available on this forum that can give you 2.2 Sense on the phone with things like sideloading and free tethering enabled, and most of the AT&T preloaded apps removed. However if you're OK with AT&T's limitations and don't have a problem not being able to use custom ROMs, then that's your prerogative.

not with the built in a2sd. but if you create an ext2 or ext3 partition on your sd card you can use the s2e app from the market to move apps to the sd card and still use your widgets.

Just to clarify (and potentially save someone some trouble), S2E only works with ext3, not ext2.
Also S2E only works with CM7, don't try it with any other ROMs!

rom memory

I own a hd2 with the lates nand hyperdroid rom, and a a2sd partition on my 16 gig sd card.
Now, my phone's memory is full at the moment. I cant even update my current apps due to low memory. So I deleted 5 apps worth of 4 mb. However i can't still update for example the shazam app, which is a 1,5 mb upgrade.
Now, my questions are.
1. If I delete 4 mb worth of apps, why can't I still update the shazam app? 4-1,5 would mean I have 2,5 mb left, right?
2. Second, how can updating apps cost so much memory. Sometimes I need to deleted a few apps in order to update some apps to the newest version. I assumed a new app version wouldn't cost a lot of extra memory.
3. in titanium backup I see there is 28,9 of system rom, 26,3 of internal memory and 800 mb of a2sd left. How come it says memory is full?4
4. Is there a solution to installing more apps?
I'm sorry if my questions are a bit vage, but it's just frustrating that I cannot install the apps I want.

try going into settings and than applications than manage it should show you a list under downloaded. go into some of your apps you downloaded not widgets or important things that you use like button savior cause they wont wont when on sd card. youll see an option to move to sd card move it wait for it to say move to phone than its complete do that to a couple of apps then try to update the app, but take shazaam out of sd card if its there then try to upgrade it if it doesnt work. or back up all your apps than reflash.

Hi,
I noticed when I moved apps to my sd card using SuperBox,that it moved the app,but left the data on the phone.
If you have apps with large amounts of data(saves,etc.),these will be causing your problem.
Try using root Explorer or something similar and look into the cache folder. Apk files that you download from market are saved there sometimes. You can delete them there. You also can move your dalvik to sdext. Easiest way is a2sdgui.
