CyanogenMod style Apps2SD in Froyo

I'm hoping we just have to wait for CM6

 

Just click on the link in my signature. It gives instructions on how to enable global install to SD card even when downloading from market. There are a handful of apps that will not install to SD at this point with these settings. The Com2us games and the Verizon apps. Pretty much everything else installs or can be moved and works fine. My suggestion though is to not move anything that you need to run on startup OR has a widget that you use.

 

Will you be able to see the apps in the app drawer? That's the biggest problem I'm having. I move the apps to the sd card, then they don't show up in the app drawer anymore.

 

What launcher are you using? This was something I noticed as well as my desktop icons becoming generic "android" icons....

Restarting my launcher made everything right again. I typically have to "restart launcherpro" after every power off/power on cycle.

I'm guessing the launcher loads faster than the system is able to mount and read the SD Card for apps moved there.

Once I restart the launcher, all my icons pop back up in my app drawer and all my shortcuts on the home screens get their proper icon images.

 

I'm using LauncherPro also. I'll try it out. Thank you for your prompt response!!!!! Much appreciated!! :icon_ banana:

 

Ok, so far, it's not working. I moved some apps to sd and it has worked with some but others, the tray icon doesn't come back. I don't even get the generic droid icon, it's just gone. Even after re-starting LauncherPro. Any ideas?

Nevermind, I guess I just wasn't waiting long enough for the tray icons to pop back up. Thanks again, that trick is working!

 

Oops....just read your edit.... good deal.

 

lol, no worries. Thank you again for getting back to me!!! =)

 

I hope and pray that the apps2sd that is used in CM 5.0.8. is implemented in 5.6.

I've had nothing but trouble out of all the apps2sd that's used in the current 2.2 roms.
