If you go to settings/applications/all applications you will see the Move to SD card button. Probably most of them will be grey however. In order to fix that, download Terminal Emulator from the Market and then with the hard keyboard type in the following:


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

Now this will turn most of those buttons white and you will be able to move them to the SD card. Do not move any widgets to the SD card.

It's also going to install any updates for your apps to the SD card from that point on. If you want to install something on the phone again run the same commands but change the 2 to a 1.

If you go to settings/applications/all applications you will see the Move to Root button. Probably most of them will be grey however. In order to fix that, download Terminal Emulator from the Market and then with the hard keyboard type in the following:

cd /system/bin (enter)
sh pm setInstallLocation 2 (enter)

'Force Close' every time, even after restart? moto droid 2.2

What do I do?

Theres one called 'Android Terminal Emulator', is that the one?

 

[hookbill]

Sega, are you rooted?

 

[SEGA]

nope, not rooted

Kinda skipped that 'move to rooted' part, my bad.

 

[hookbill]

nope, not rooted

To use terminal emulator you need to be rooted. Is terminal emulator force closing on you?

 

[SSHGuru]

App 2 SD............ sorry

 

[hookbill]

nope, not rooted

Nope, that was my bad. I was thinking about the root but I meant to say SD card.

So one more time…When you launch terminal emulator it's force closing. That would be correct because you are not rooted. You can't use terminal emulator.

App 2 SD............ sorry

That doesn't seem to work on as many apps as I moved to my SD card as terminal emulator does.

You have so many apps loaded that you're running out of space on the phone? I figured out a long time ago that if there is an app that I'm going to use infrequently, I'll just leave it uninstalled and only install it when I need it. It only takes a few seconds after all. When they are so easily accessed from the market, it just doesn't make sense to have infrequently used apps stored on the phone. YMMV

Why shouldn't you move any widgets to SD?

Problems. They don't work correctly. Sometimes they don't work at all.
