Maybe the Simplest way of Apps2SD!

[Guest Edward.W]

First, I just want to said,I saw this method in another Android forum in China, it's not discovered by myself :)

And this is really simple to do this. :D

1:) Open a terminal (whatever you want)

2:)Type the following code: (Don't mix up with uppercase and lowercase letters :) )

su 

pm setInstallLocation 2

3:) Done! :D

This 'll active the Apps2SD function in the system in 2.2

P.S: Only the apps you install by yourself can move to the SD card, not the system apps

Screen Shots:

Only tried on MetalFroyo ROM 2.75...But all 2.2 ROMs should work with this

sorry but im newbe,

how can I use the terminal?

thanks for all

[Guest Riekr]

yes adb shell should be used to input those commands

but remember that foryo apps2sd is different from a2sd or malez apps2sd: some appplication if forced to be installed on sd will not work and same for every widget (once you reboot, or immediatly i don't remember, you will not have your widgets).

normally android installs on sd only applications that says "i can be installed on sd". some other app can be forced, some other not.

i hope to have been clear :D

Hi,

App2sd puts the apps in /data/app in a ext2 partition. When the device start, a2sd mounts the partition in /data/app

So there is no need to use this way, because it works since you flash it.

However with this method you install the apps on the SD, and not in /data/app, so this method is incompatible with a2sd.

And not all parts of app is installing on SD, something is left on phone

Yeah, if you adopt the ext2 a2sd , you can't use this

And this 'll only move some of the data of the apps, so maybe it's the easy way for new comers. :D
