i have a optimus phone that i had recently rooted with gingerbreak. no issues, everything went fine and i had superuser, droid sail and other rooted apps. i had a 2gb sd card. i just reached my maximum capacity the other day and i got a 4gb sd card. I transfered all files to my new sd card. I still have root access, and can use my rooted apps, but i can no longer move any app to sd card unless the develpoer okays it(basically exactly like it was be4 root). im not sure why this is happening. is it ok to try to run root again since it is already rooted or is something else i have to do???

Which ROM are you using, and what method are you using to move apps to sd?

well these apps are not system apps...i should be able to move these, it has to be something with the sd card. not sure tho...yea the phone is rooted and i didnt change the rom afterward, like i said it worked with no problem until i got a new sd card, now the phone will still do rooted actions, just wont transfer to sd card...im using force2sd and droidsail

yes and that will let me move certain ones but these are downloaded apps from the market and i normally can move anything downloaded from the market, but now with the new sd card, i cannot. when i try to use my droidsail, it comes up with a message saying make sure your phone is rooted and debugging is enabled. as far as i know, my phone is still rooted tho. i ran the root checker and it said it was rooted. so now what?
