Hi first post...new phone.....great product, I love it......to get to the point, I have down loaded a couple of simple apps from the in-house market place, the second one "i spy wifi" wouldnt complete because "quote" ...reqs newer version microsoftR.net compact framework, this wouldnt download because I dont have enough free space, even though there is a 4 gb micro card with loads of room.........how do i get things onto the card storage?.......can I put a 16gb card in place of the 4 ?
cheers
Yes you can use 16gb card, normally when you install an app, it give you the option to install on device memory or Storage Card. I install everything on the the Storage Card and I've got a rude amount of apps installed .
Hi, do watch the cache in the main storage - this can fill up.
And, when you install apps from the Market Place it seems these automatically go to main storage and there is no option to install to storage card.
I'm using a 16 gb card with no problems.
thanks for the reply, not noticed an option offered for phone/card storage...will look for it next time....cheers..........
Just to follow on from this can all cabs and apps be downloaded on the card rather than the device? For instance I have cabs for home page transparencies and max manila, text removal on home page etc. Also cab games, official hot fixes, clocks, market place apps as well. And these are ALL on t he device.
Are there certain apps or items that MUST go on the device or can everything go on the card?

Anyone?
Pretty much everything can go on the card.
but I cannot seem to move anything onto my card, am I missing something ?
Just use file explorer to move the cabs to your storage card. Once you have installed cab's you can do what you want with them, move or delete them. When installing them it will prompt to install on the device or storage card. Choose storage card.
I always install to the storage card but when you install using Market Place it doesn't give you the option it just installs to the device. Does anyone know if this can be changed or if the cab files is stored somewhere so that you can uninstall from device and install on the card??
As far as I know, isn't possible to choose a different location when installing from Marketplace. However, is possible to move the applications from the phone memory to the SD card. To do that you have to use this app. Although there are some applications that you must install in the phone memory.
Many thanks, I will give it a go. I already have SK Tools do you know if that has a similar feature as I've not quite got to grips with everything it can do?
Hi, i am a new user for android OS. And one day i wants to install some apps in SD card, but doesnt now what to do first. i try to do something myself, but only thing that i do is split the SD card memory, and now some space from my sd card memory is not avaiable. Can so9meone can say what to do first... to install some apps in SD and install some unofficial 2.1 android version on tattoo.
P.S. - I am latvian and not know the English language perfectly, so maybe that is the reason because i dont understand what to do first...

Download AppMonster or Astro from the market. These will allow you to copy apks to your SD card. But note, you can't run apps from your SD card, you can only swap them in and out of memory.

How to install apps on HD2 Andriod builds?
I have tried installing a few apps via andriod market but they all "close unexpectedly" and a force quit is required. Can someone explain how to install the builds. I am using warren's 0.4 build SD build. Also what is QR code?
You'll find info on QR code here, but simplistically it is a bar code link to the rom/app you want to download.
As for the FC's and app install issues, you'd probably do best to ask in the devs thread as others may also be experiencing the same problem and know of a work around. Your sd card could possibly be corrupt and may require a reformat.
As for the bar code scanner I get that off the windows market or android?
Plus my sd card is fine atm. ty tho
Android
Some said that I should unmount my sd card, then dl and install the apps and it should work. Yet you say that I should use QR to dl and install app.
Both cases work or what? ty for ur continuous help btw
I wasn't really punting the QR method, you just initially asked what it was so I gave you some info
If your sd card is ok, there are certain apps which do install if the sd card is unmounted first ie Angry Birds. You can try that also.
Hi All,
After rooted the device using SuperOneCLick v1.6.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
I installed the Move2SD enabled and managed to move the installed application to SD card.
Steps:
- Root your S5830
- Installed Move2SD enabled
- Launch Move2SD enabled and set the install path to 'External'
- Goto Settings > Applications > Manage applications to move those applciation that you want to move to SD card.
i have tested this method with my s5830 and it works...
How about using an ext3 partition for the phone to use upon boot? Anyone tried Darktremor's app2sd?
I tried with my Galaxy Ace, but after I set Move2SD I'm not allowed whether to move apps to my SD card or to do something different from uninstall the apps as all the options are disabled in the "Manage applications" panel !
Any idea of what I got wrong?

I have rooted and installed Move2SD enabler. But, when I checked external & wanted to apply it, it said that "Sorry, unable to change the default install location". How to solve this problem?
Is the problem only on my Galaxy Ace S5830 or this is the software problem? Could you help me?
Thanks.

Yes those above methods aren't quite helpful. Try Link2SD, it'll surely free your internal storage as it shifts the entire app data as well as library files and dalvik cache to SD. I use the same. =)
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA Premium App
Thank you, it work
I thought SG Ace already had app2sd..(enable by Froyo). Because after I installed any games.. I just use setting inside SETINGS/APPLICATION/MANAGE APPLICATIONS and move to SD..
so what is the major different about Link2sd and Move2SD?
The Froyo way, Apps2SD or Move2SD Enabler still store the dex and library files needed for the application to run, on the internal storage. You will see your /data/dalvik-cache takes up the most space because of this. Whereas in Link2SD method, all of these files are physically stored on your SD card on a second partition which is mounted at boot. They are simply symbolic linked with the original locations.

Sadly Link2SD doesn't work on 2.3.3. There's an unresolved bug / uncompatibility issue and I don't know if/when the developer will come up.
I heard so, that's why I'm not upgrading to Gingerbread yet.
i've tried move2sd, first it work great but then i got this 'unable to install to sd' error when ever i tried to install apps. i have to unmount my sd card then i can install the apps, quite annoying to me, so i formatted my sd card and uninstall move2sd and the error is gone....
Well done !!
It works !! almost all the 3rd party applications run now from SD !
SAVE ME 30 MEGA pure rom memory AND SURVIVE MY GOOD HEALTHY !
Any help how to deal with all the provider rubbish and stinky applications to throw away from phone or moving into the the SD ?
THANK AGAIN
ALON

you can try simple2ext but this only works for CM roms. A caveat however. Most, if not all CM roms ported to the SGA are still at RC1 and not final yet. There is a bug which causes the phone to restart when market attempts to install a newly downloaded app. Appears to be CM related.
So you can choose to wait for the devs here to port CM7.1 final for SGA and then try your luck.
Trying to find an answer before I buy this phone. Is there a non-rooting option that will let me download music/save photos/store movies straight to a microsd card? If not, which rom do you recommend?
I have never rooted before btw.

Everything works better with root. Root just means that you have permission to modify system settings and files.
Kitkat, the latest version of the OS tightened security and no longer allows third party apps to freely write files anywhere on your SD card. Now they have to stick to their own directory on the card. This breaks or at least restricts what older apps can do.
But you should be able to find a newer app that does the things you asked about.. as long as the app has been updated to the new method of keeping all of it's files in one directory tree.
If you have root, you could change or remove those SD card restrictions.
