who wants apps to sd the froyo way ;)

u have to have the special capitalization, but dont capitalize the 'pm'
thanks. i was wondering how to get that to actually work.

 

awesome!!! FYI don't move swype or sweeterhome lol

P.S. Yes i am blonde :rofl3:

 

you can move swype, just go to settings and enable it
(for some reason its disabled) your special swype settings are still there

 

sweet jaysus i'm dumb!! ty so much that worked

 

Quick question.

I went and installed google earth, it installed right to the SD card. (I had it off the phone because it took up to much space)

Can others confirm apps are being installed directly to the SD card.

I wish an option would pop up when installing.

Also, is there a way to stop apps from installing right to the SD card?

 

would this work on any Froyo 2.2 room (rooted of course)?

 

Is this also effective for changing to different Operating Systems, like downgrading or ugprading is it a good way to keep your apps and settings?

 

Hey what do you mean by "from /system/bin (invoking sh for shell)"? I tried "sh pm setInstallLocation 2" and it says "sh: cannot open 'pm'". Any ideas on how to get this to work?

 

1. Open up terminal emulator
2. Type "su"
3. type "pm setInstallLocation 2"

It means from the directory /system/bin, meaning that they did a cd to /system/bin before running that command. That shouldn't be necessary - you should be able to just type "pm setInstallLocation 2"

Make sure that the ONLY capital letters there are the I and the L.

 

First things first. Try just entering super user mode in the terminal and then type pm setInstallLocation 2 and see if that works. If not then you have to type the following in the terminal:

su (press enter)
cd /system/bin (press enter)
then sh pm setInstallLocation 2 (press enter)

 

After some searching on the net, I found this...

install app to sd card in 2.2 (froyo) - Android Help

To revert back and have the install on the internal memory it looks like you enter

pm setInstallLocation 0

 

Thanks a lot man! I tried the second method and it worked like a charm! I must have a bad mapping to system commands like Boofster said. Either way, it works now so thanks a million!
