Root Apps I have verified that support Apps2SD

I'd test it, but I am on a different version.

Couldn't you run a backup, then test it anyway? It would be valuable, I think, to know if it is in fact ROM-specific.

I am on 0.1.1, which should be essentially the same thing. Let me make a backup and test it out.

I'm essentially running the same thing, since I applied the WiFi fix, which I believe is the only change in 0.1.1.

Worked for me. I can move them from the settings area now. Most of them. A few, like you had said I still couldn't, but the majority I can.

Here's something interesting. I DL'd Google Earth from the Market, intending to move it to my SD card -- but it had already installed itself directly to my SD card.

I tried that to see.

Same thing.

Also added some random game app, it installed directly to SD card. Havent checked to see if they work.

*****They do.*****

I suppose all will install to SD card, and if you want to install one with widget, you have to go in and move back to phone... dunno.

Google Earth definitely works. Oops! You were typing "They do" as I was typing that first sentence. I'm thinking the same thing -- running that command makes apps install by default to the SD card, so you have to move them if you want them on the phone.

I didn't move anything that has a widget that I use - I have rebooted a few times and have had no problems, BUT, I have lost icons for these apps -they all show as the little icon that resembles the market app icon.

Both of the ones I installed worked.

To get the icons to show back up, go into setting, whatever launcher you use, hit "Force Stop". You should be able to go back out and see them now.

Ok, I got it to work, but it don't move on the first try, I have to do it twice for it to work. And also, how can we reverse this if we want to?

I suppose this would be code for back to regular?

su
pm setInstallLocation 1

I will try. One sec.

Let me backup, I like it auto installing on SD card.

I rebooted with no problems as well, and will post my larger list later. The weird thing is that my apps lost their icons when I moved them using TiBu and then rebooted, but they haven't lost their icons when moving from Settings>Applications after running that command.

That is the command to change it back to normal. Just tested, can verify it will go back to installing on your phone, as normal.

I was going to keep updating the list, but with this command, I think the list is no longer really needed.

 

[johnlgalt]

However, I will say this:

Everytime I reboot my Froyo (FRF57 base-only, no theme) LauncherPro loses all apps that have been moved, and I have to FC and then let it restart on its own.

Anyone have any ideas about this issue?

 

[androiddoes]

Places Directory, Grocery IQ, Convert Pad also support it

 

[mihalich]

GStrings Instrument Tuner Natively supports installing to the SD Card.

Gods, I have some updating to do with this thread...

Hmm, time to make a Google Docs for us all to update, eh?
