I am pretty sure that can be done only with rooting. I'm sure that I've seen many posts on here about that. I don't do either, so I really can't help further. I think the app is called apps2sd or something of that nature. Again, only when you root the phone at this time.

 

No. Google specifically designed it this way to prevent app piracy. Why they don't allow free apps to install to the sdcard, i'm really not sure.

You must root the phone to run apps from the sdcard.

 

Piracy of "Free" applications?!?!
Isn't that a hoot! Lolz...

If not included in the 2.0 update you will have to root the phone then for this function... from a certain point - not piracy - I can see some sense in disallowing this, i.e., loading 1,000 apps on the card and then wondering why the phone won't work... but I'm not one to accept intentionally disabling function too. So if it is possible they should make it available. Just my humble opinion...

 

if HTC designed the phone like the Pre then you would have an arbitrarily decided 20 app limit. i already have over 20 apps, and still have plenty of space. dont forget to clear ur cache regularly.

 

I have all my apps on my as card, 50+ to be more specific. I do have my Hero rooted with Fresh 0.6b Rom flashed on the phone. I have an average of 120 mb of internal memory free with the cache being cleared every 2 or 3 days.

 

do you have to have fresh instaled in order to use apps2sd?

 

I am thinking of rooting and installing a custom rom, but I cannot find anyone to answer some questions. One is does the custom rom change the whole look of the phone desktop, are you still using sense UI at that point? Also I would love to be able to install apps to the sd card, remove junk apps to try to speed up the phone. Does this in fact speed up the phone?

Also if you could post a pic of what your phone desktop looks like with the custom ROM I would greatly appreciate that.
