Settings - applications- move to phone.
If it's not highlighted then it's either A, on the phone already or B, not movable.
If it's not movable that's fine leave it.
I was more meaning how can i move them back to phone when there is no space on the phone, which was the reason for putting them on the sd card in the first place?
Confused!
I worked out the backup bit( I thought Nandroid was a separate app, rather than something done from within clockworkmod)
Uninstall the biggest ones, like angry birds and updates to Flash, until you have enough room to move the rest back to onternal storage. You'll loose some user settings and data when you do this, but as far as I can tell there's really no other way.

Its not f12 on all computers. It can be F10. It should say at the bios splash screen.
Although, personally I think its best to use a virtual machine to boot to the ISO so you dont have to turn off your computer. Theres a guide for using vmware in my signature.

I'm guessing it is set to SD - otherwise why would installing Ti give messages like that?
Check it's undone. There are various apps, such as Spare Parts or ModInstallLocation that can be used to do this simply, but I don't know whether you'd be able to install those (i.e. I don't think this is a problem with Ti specifically).
Googling that error brings up a lot of suggestions that removing a file called smdl2tmp1.asec from inside .android_secure on your SD card will fix this. You'll probably have to mount the card on a computer to do this. To be safe I'd recommend nandroid backup before doing this. But first, try to ensure apps are installing to internal then try to install the app again.

I had this problem on just one app, install location set internally. I read about this fix too. Although not sure if it was mnt/asec or something.
I actually cant remember what fixed it in the end..

Seems the way I had burned the image to cd was incorrect in that i used windows and not some stand alone burning software (nero etc). I'm told this didn't create a proper ISO image.
When redoing this I can boot to Gparted, so all systems go again - but i'll wait till tomorrow before having a look at partioning - looks complicated
Yes you have to essentially "clone" the iso image to disc as the iso image contains boot information. Using windows simply writes the iso as a data file to disk, like moving it onto a hard drive.
VMware virtual machine (as per my guide in my signature) is the best way though.
The menus/options etc I'm getting don't resemble those in the guide i'm following - is that because i'm using the cd version - does that matter? I assumed that was only to get it up and running.

Trying to follow these instructions from your sig liks
1) Backup your SD card contents to your PC
2) Download GParted and Burn to CD/USB or use the Gparted with VMware guide.
3) Boot into recovery and select the mount as usb mass storage option (cwm recovery) before plugging the usb in. Plug the usb in when Gparted is at the language selection/keyboard mapping section
4) Resize the existing FAT32 partition from the back, leaving space after it and create an EXT partition in the space. Steps for the GUI are below.
In the drop down menu (top right) select the SD card (be careful not to select your HDD)
Right click on the FAT32 Partition and select resize
Press the Up arrow on "Free Space Following" until you have the desired sizes
Click Resize
right click in unallocated space and select New> EXT format of your choice
Click Apply
Hope you sort it out, ive now installed ubuntu and gparted runs straight off it, it's an awesome OS. Far easier to partition sd's as no need to boot from cd or anything, not everyone's cup of tea but it's good IMHO,
I also always use a card reader when I'm partitioning.
As far as apps go, I know you have sorted it now but I install app brain, create an account and sync it, then go on their website and you can print off a list of all your apps, i did this and just installed them all from scratch, again not for everyone.
Thing the issue for me was where the guide said select mount as usb mass storage, when selecting recovery, 8 menu choices game key, one of which was mounts and storage, on selecting this 12 menu choices came up, one of which was mount usb storage, on selecting this unmount came up - took me a very long time to work out what was going on - probably just me though.
Also on Gparted it seemed to stop at various points needing the enter key pressed to proceed, which i hadn't being doing.
So I have a nandroid backup ( does that keep my old rom incase i need to go back??)
I have a Titanium backup - this should give me my old apps back (hopefully i won't loose this when i wipe data? as its on sd card.
I have a mybackup backup - which should give me sms and call logs etc
Have i got that about right??
Also thanks for the Ubuntu suggestion - i actually tried that last night without much success - was going to revisit today if pc was unsuccessful.
mybackup is overkill I think. You can use smsbackup+ to backup sms and call logs to gmail.... Good solution IMHP. Backs up as you receive them and can browse them in your Gmail online too.
Ah things were going too well, done all the wiping and reinstalling the new rom (the dGB280112 one)
All was going great - took the opportunity to change my googlemail to gmail ( was a bit worried by that, but all seems well), installed tiitanium and was half way through - installed 36 of 63 apps - and now says my phone is low on space and can't seem to install.
Hoping this is an easy fix - my partion should be 1000mb
Think i may be remembering that this is the way it will appear but isn't reality?
Is that correct

What did I miss - and more importantly is it easy fixed.
I really thought i was following to the letter but have obviously missed something - i thought i had to do that for apps2sd+
Not overly worried about wasting space on SD card but would like to get the rest of my apps restored - could you possibly point me to a guide or step me through it.
I take it I would need that partition anyway if i wanted to experiment with different roms in the future?

If your SD card has the space then an ext partition is useful if you swap ROMs in future. dGB won't make any use of it though, as it doesn't include an a2sd script.
To get the best out of dGB you need to be S-Off and to flash a custom hboot with a small /system partition. Read the root memory faq, then ask if anything is unclear - most of us here have done it.

Can anyone confirm if they can get downloads to work from the redux site - not working for me.
Alternatively, could someone please point me in the direction of all the relevant guides to "fix" dGB ( i obviously missed some parts of the other guides).
Most of the my frequently used apps are currently uninstalled due to space availability, i would really appreciate if someone could help me with this.
Many thanks - i feel i should be able to sort this myself but very nervous about doing so
Also i freed up some space by deleting some less used apps, but can't get titanium to re run to install the ones i want

To use dgb properly, you must be s-off and be able to flash custom hboots. It's an advanced rom, for advanced users. If you're not ready for s-off and custom hboots and expect to use SD ext partition, it really isn't the right Rom
Since you have partitioned your sd card, after flashing dGB, you can flash apps_dalvik2ext-UNSIGNED.zip from the redux site: https://sites.google.com/site/romredux/downloads. The download link is working and it works very well with dGB.
you will have to toggle the signature verification a couple of times as it is unsigned.

Awesome thanks for that!
Obviously I could have mentioned this. I didn't as its 100% against my wishes. This is 100% against the design principle of the Rom.
Understand that I cannot stop you doing this, but I will point out that I do not support this solution. By that, I mean any problems with the Rom, you will not get answers from me.
This is what oxygen is for. dGB is a no2ext solution and using a2SD+ scripts is offensive. I spent months developing this Rom, Testing the resilience of my personal relationships and stretching them beyond the unknown, all to ensure no ext partition was required. All that work and suffering does not deserve to have an a2SD+ script thrown back in my face.
This is an advanced Rom for advanced users who can use custom mtd or hboot.
I am so sorry SUroot. I did not in any way mean to offend you. You got me totally wrong. Let me tell you, dGB is by far THE BEST rom out there. Using it, I can so clearly see the hard work you have put into it. Since the day I flashed it, I haven't been able to use any other rom for more than a couple of days and I am on the 65 hboot right now.
But, from time to time I get these urges to flash/try out other roms, which are useless without an ext partition (which is another complement to your rom). So, its much easier to keep the ext even while on dGB, and since I am wasting 1 GB of my sd card, it made sense to me to use app2SD+.
As Hadron mentioned in the post above that gd123 might find the ext partition useful for other roms and since gd123 has already made the ext partition, I suggested this.
I apologize once again if I offended you.

Don't let it get you down pal, alot of us know how much time and effort you put in to this. And I fully appreciate the sole purpose of the rom was to do away with everything non essential and the need for an ext partition.
I just use standard move to sd and that works for me, i get worried if my space drops below 60mb lol,
As you have said countless times, this rom is not for everyone, in my opinion its a rom that NEEDS the 60-65mb hboot.
But chin up dan, you have created an amazing rom, its a credit to you.

Still running dGB - one issue i'm having is that the notification at the top of Wifi and mobile signal sometimes shows black and white only and does show green..
So it will show say 4 bars but white/grey colour not green - during this time I can't load web pages - turning off wifi and back on seems to work.
Is this normal or is there a setting somewhere that i need to change

That's standard on gingerbread. Means Youre not connected to Google services. Nothing to do with dGB

There's someone here (Dan55? Ducky?) who would flash UOT themes in order to stop the colours changing.
Haha, Cheeky! not me, i like to change the colours but i like to know I'm connected to Google servers, dan55 probably flashes several times a day just to simulate the server connection! Hahahahaha.
