A couple question about the apps2sd

1 - when downloading an app that is apps2sd compatible, does it automatically save to your SD card or do you have to do something? And if an app you already have gets an update to apps2sd, will it also do the same and just move to the sd card?

2 - what happens to the app when you change your SD card?



Thanks
 
in general if you have A2SD enabled then any capable app you install will automatically goto the SD..... I have seen some apps that prompt you where to install......

the same holds true when you update old apps that werent capable of A2SD but now are....... when the update installs it will generally move to the SD or prompt you

if you have apps installed on your SD card and remove the card then you also remove the ability for that app to function...... you can create backups and store them on your computer for something like this..... this way if your card fails or you get a bigger card or whatever reason....... you can simply restore the files back to the new SD and be fine again.......... I recommend Titanium to do backups with..... this way when you do a backup you just have to move the titanium files to your computer...... then when you replace the SD you just reinstall titanium, copy the backup back to your phone and restore
