force apps to sd card?

**eeyore6802** · 02-29-2012, 01:28 PM

Is there any app or anything that you can make an app go to the SD card? Some of my larger apps like flash,Facebook,groupon etc don't allow you to move them to the SD card. Everytime I turn around I'm getting low storage warnings or insufficient space etc. Is there anything you can do or do I just have to wait for a phone with more internal storage? :-)

If you root, you can move any app to the SD card (but you wouldnt' want to do it for some like widgets and some others).

I personally don't know how people manage that can't. I'm rooted and move as much as I can to the SD card and still am constantly fighting with the internal storage (I have an EVO 4G with a piddly 500MB internal storage, I think). Right now I only have about 44MB left, and it starts to flash warnings in the notification bar somewhere around 40.

And I certainly don't think i have a lot of apps installed.

I actually am rooted but some still don't allow me to move them(the traditional way at least) is there a different way to be moving them when rooted?

If you want to start over flash mikg. Apps to sd is built in and seamless. All apps install on sd but appear to be on system to the rom. No trouble with widgets. Got to backup all your files to computer and partition your sd card. ROM and guides are at themikmik.com

i did this.... after root download dark tremors a2sd... some roms come with it pre installed. follow instructions on tha page i linked.

goto market and download terminal emulator(make sure you have superuser installed)
open terminal and type the following commands:
su {enter}
a2sd reinstall {enter}
you can also move your cache and dalvik cache to sd to free up TONS of space.

OH... make sure before you do a2sd you partition your sd card. i know it seems like a lot, but dont fret, its not overly difficult. if you can follow instructions you can do it. here is a link on partitioning your sd card. DONT FORGET TO BACK UP YOUR SDCARD! partitioning it will erase it!

Good Luck bro!

after you do this Apps will be automatically installed to sdcard when you dl them from the market.

you could force most of you apps to sd WITHOUT ROOTING just google it because I didnt see it here and I dont think it would be right to link other sites.
