who wants apps to sd the froyo way ;)

[gszeman]

Thanks for this...nice find!

Quick question: Where on the scard do they get moved to?

Look in .android_secure they should be there.

Hmm...directory is empty? I went back under Manage applications and looked at the apps I moved, and they now say Move to Phone...so that leads me to believe they are moved to the sdcard...just not where I can see.

my bad they are there but you can only see them from the computer with your phone USB connected and mounted

So, it's been mentioned how setting the InstallLocation to 2 will make every app installed thereafter go to the SD card. It was also mentioned that to go back to the way it was would be to set the InstallLocation to 0. But I was looking back at the screenshot in post #14, and it shows that 0 = Auto, device decides best location; 1 = internal storage to device; 2 = external storage to media.

My question is, which is currently (as in, pre-hack) the default: 0 or 1? Because if the default is to install apps only to the internal storage (1), what would happen if we let it decide (0)? Or, is 0 the default froyo setting whereby it doesn't really "decide" by itself, but its "decision" is based on user input (like an option button) on where to install it?

Has anyone tried doing the move to sd from titanium backup.

that's all I had been using until I saw the later posts. It works fine but takes a while to do and you don't know which apps are on the SD card unless you hard press on it. I'm going to e-mail developer to see if he can put a different icon or change the color of the app once placed on the SD card to make it noticeable. Other than that, it works well.

OP: how did you figure this out? amazing job buddy!

[rcfx]

Yes! This was a great find! This is the wonderful topping on Froyo! My icons look like crap but in a few days someone will have that figured out! Great Job rican408!!

Figured out the icon thing, force close launcher, when it re-starts all icons are there. I'm using DxTop.

This worked great for me. And for those having icon troubles. After you move the app go to your desktop and the icons that have generic pic's on them right now drop them into the appdrawer again then put them back should be all set then.
