Go to settings, applications, manage applications. Select the application you want to move and if it can be moved to your sd card it will give you that option. I don't recall the names of them but there are applications in the market that list which applications you have that can be moved and will help you do that.

Titanium Backup will allow you to move almost all of your user apps onto the SD regardless of whether the developer wanted it or not. Highly recommend you use the "Pro" version or it may take a while to process.
I will have to check out that titanium backup.. Is it a paid app?
Thanks!!

Don't supposed you'd be willing to PM me on how to use TB? I've downloaded the most recent version of Pro I could get my hands on, but I'm not sure where to go from there.

Menu > Batch
What Top Nurse said. You can move many more apps with TB than with the "standard" mechanism in settings.
To move an app individually, press-hold the app in the backup list, and a context menu will pop up. If TB thinks it can move the app, the move to SD button will be available.
Or, as mentioned above, you can have all the eligible apps moved via a batch operation.

At the moment I'm using 329.17mb of 484.80mb on the phone, then 12.09gb of 14.73mb on my SD card. I recently changed over from Syndicate Frozen to Bonzai4All and my phone is plenty snappy. I've got a handful of apps running via SD through AppMonster telling me that I can have them running from there as I installed them. I don't know if there is a standard or recommendation as to how much memory on the phone itself I should keep free, but as far as I can tell, I'm not experiencing any lagging issues whatsoever. No offense again Syndicate (was running 1.0.1, then 1.0.2 came out after I swtiched to Bonsai) but Bonsai is definately faster and the transition couldn't have been easier.

I just installed my first custom rom on my epic. It was Bonsaii4all 3.01. It is a wonderful rom.
I was a flashaholic with my Touch Pro2 (Go EnergyRoms) but have had trouble rooting my Epic. Finally got the drivers to recognize my phone and I'm lovin the change. I use App2sd to put apps on SD but I'mm going to try Titanium as I have that already. Rom Manager sometimes freezes my phone.
Dumb question: when you install apps to the sd card, if/when you wipe your phone, will it automatically find them and set them up, or do they have to be reinstalled or restored?

Hey guys.
Just saw a "Allow application moving" option in the CyanogenMod settings menu.
This allows any app to be moved to the SD card.
I have been wondering...by allowing any app to be moved to SD even though originally they can't...
are there any side effects, problems or any inconveniences caused by doing so?
Thx guys.

It doesn't let you do it for all apps but otherwise it works well.
It's also a good idea to keep your widget apps on the phone.
Oh ok thx.
If you will move any widget to SD. You will have to configure it every time you turn on phone. The same with launchers and keypads.
ok. I'll remember that.

Awesome, thanks... I'm downloading the trial now. Does it just save all of that to the SD card and I put it back onto the new phone? Or do I have to redownload the app on my new phone?
Between Titanium and MyBackup, I recommend the latter because it's much more simple and easy to use.

You'll have to re-download the app in order to restore the backups made on your previous phone.
Apps and contacts will transfer automatically once you sign in to your google account on your new mt4g. Pictures are stored in your memory card. So all you have to do is swap the memory card from one mt4g to the new one.
And why would you want to transfer text messages? Delete them. They take up space.

Tis' true, it saves all the info to your SD card and then you swap over the SD card to the new phone redownload the app and click restore. It will find the orginal back up on its own. Doing pictures is redundent though if you are keeping the same SD card from the old to new phone as the will auto transfer.

Because some people like to keep them. I always back up my texts before a wipe.
Not all apps will not be backed up because they are not associated with your Google account (only paid apps are).

It says "In this version you can only restore/view/manage what you have backed up from this device. To restore/view/manage backups from other devices, please upgrade to the Pro version."
Dang. Trying to determine if its worth paying the 5 dollars for. I have a good amount of contacts, which are linked to there twitters and facebooks, all my pages are fully customized, and I have a ton of apps. It will be such a pain in the but to do all of this manually.

It's more than worth it in my opinion. You only have to purchase it once, yet from then on you'll have the ability to back up and save whatever you want.
So I used Backup Pro to switch my contacts over, and besides the contacts I had it added the contacts of every single Facebook and Twitter account I was friends with or followed... I deleted the contacts for which I had no numbers for (300+). I then noticed that when I went to link the contacts I did have to there Facebook or Twitter accounts they were not there, I guess because I deleted them from my contacts?
Anyone know how to make it so I can link them again? The contacts are also classified as "Google" instead of "T-Mobile" like they were be for, which is kind of annoying.

I've been wiping and flashing custom ROMs on Android phones for years, and never once have any apps been backed up after re-signing back into my Google account. It's the exact same way for almost everyone else. If you're going to tell me I'm flat out wrong, maybe you could provide some info like what settings you use?

Settings I use are simple. One that came with the device. Have everything saved to google checked. I've never backed up anything with any back up app. Everything is backed up to google with me.
I factory reset my device when I first flashed cm7, when flashing iced glacier, going back to cm from ice glacier, going to royal glacier and back to cm and to honey and back to cm. Every single time my contacts and all my apps came back. Except one or 2 apps that I didn't download off the market but 3rd party.

Isn't there an option you can check when first signing into your Google account called something like "backup/restore Google settings..."? Way back when CM4 was the latest and geatest, Cyanogen said not to check that box because it could cause problems of kind, so I never have. If you have that checked, that may explain why your apps are returning. It's just weird that your apps come back automatically, when it doesn't seem to happen to hardly anyone else (that's why apps like MyBackup and Titanium exist in the first place).

If it's all apps that you installed to the SD card instead of internal storage, it might be that the SD card got unmounted. I get similar behavior sometimes after using USB mass storage mode...every once in a while it won't remount properly when I unplug USB and SD card apps will show installed but won't launch.
Reboot clears it up for me, but wouldn't be surprised if there's another way to fix.

I had to reinstall some apps after I rooted with gingerbreak on my Atrix...
I've had that happen too, not rooted.
Kind of annoying.
I tend to see this problem with Angry Birds. It installs to /sdcard. Once the phone formated my /sdcard partition, probably after it thought it was corrupt.
First things first: I like Sense, so don't start bashing it and saying "switch to CM."
Alright, now for the real problem:
I don't know if everyone else has this problem, or maybe its my 16GB memory card, but on any Gingerbread ROMs(or even some Froyo) nothing shows up, like in Ringtones it only shows stock ones, nothing from the folders on my SD card, same with Gallery, it only shows "All Photos", "All Videos", and "Downloads", where on Froyo it shows everything on my SD card. When I open Astro or OI File Manager I can see all the files though. Am I alone with this issue?
What rom are you using?
Right now, im using the stock froyo rom, rooted.
But ive experienced this issue with lots of ROMs, mostly gingerbread with the original sense style, and now with gingerbread mySense.
I've noticed this too.. use a 3rd Party app to add in ringtones.. the stay forever. You can find them on the Market.

Zedge is a good app. I like it.
You can also use Ringdroid. It'll actually add the ringtones to the native folder for easier pickings.
I've encounteredthe same problem. To get around it I created a media folder on my SD card. So on my SD card I have a folder named media and subfolders named ringtones and notifications were I drop my audios accordingly. I hope this helps

My apologies. I misunderstood you. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. This was the only workaround I've used and since it worked for me, I did not bother to look for any other alternatives.
Not sure exactly what did it, but I pulled everything off my memory card, formatted it, and put it all back(after sifting through a bunch of unneeded folders/files), and put them all back.
I also had flashed a gingerbread ROM in the middle of all this, so for all I know, this ROM just doesnt have that problem.. but all seems to be good now.
Anyone know whats going on? I guess this has been happening for about a week. All my old pictures are there, but when I reboot, any new pictures I took will just disappear from the phone
Im also on EC05 / Syndicate 1.2. Never had this issue before though
Ok I did a full wipe... and now it deleted ALL of my pics... Whats going on???
All the folders and other things remained intact, but all my pics from the DCIM folder are gone. Even other pics like icons saved in a download folder are gone.
Always backup your card fire this reason. I had to odin back to stock and then root and reload srf. All my pics stay now. Not sure what caused it. Thought it was because it is a new sd card.

By "full wipe" you don't mean "Factory data reset" under Settings -> Privacy do you?
As far as the original problem is concerned is the issue that the files were actually gone from the SD card or just that they didn't show up in Gallery and what not?
When I said full wipe I meant through CWM, so it shouldnt have wiped my pics out like that. I did do a backup thankfully though its a couple months old so I lost a bunch of things.
Its the same SD card Ive used since November or so. I guess I will format the SD card fresh and then copy over what I had saved.
This problem has returned for me with new pictures. I dunno.
Is everyone having this using a theme?
I think theres a broken framework.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I'll ask again... Are the files being removed from the SD card or just from Gallery?
No clue with SRF but "Media Storage" should be running (Settings > Manage Applications > Running Applications).
Clearing the data for this app will clear out Gallery/Music/Video/etc (just the displayed items, not the actual source files). The media scanner should run (scan) shortly after booting and display a notification.
Not sure how to manually fire off the media scanner but if the files still exist and simply don't show up for you then this would be my first troubleshooting step (searching Google for "android invoke media scanner" pointed towards some apps/methods).
Maybe this helps, maybe it doesn't

Pop the card out and put it in a computer. See if the pics are on the card that way. It's possible they are on the card but whatever program you are using to look for them isn't finding them. for instance, if you are using Gallery and you have disabled media scanning then it will never know about new pictures.
