    Default Applications to SD on rooted droid


    Ive had my droid rooted for awhile now, and its working great. But Im running low in phone internal storage, and I'm wondering how I can download applications to my sd card and also transfer the ones I have now from internal to the SD, which I'm pretty sure is possible with a rooted phone. What is the easiest easy to go about this? Or is there an app that does this for you?

    1st you need to make sure you're on a ROM that supports apps2sd. What Rom are you using?
    Next, there's a paid app in the market call ROM Manager, which will partition your sdcard for you. Its just 1 of the many features of this brilliant app. It will also give you a nice selection of ROMs and themes to choose from. Every rooted Droid should have this app.

    I have rom manager, and I'm running bugless beast 1.0. I wasn't sure what partition your sd card did, so I haven't done that. So I just partition the sd card on rom manager, and download apps2sd? Is it in the market?

    I followed your thread, but after the partition process, i went into sd card and phone storage, and there was no option for sd card secondary storage, it only appeared as though the sd card had less available storage than before. It obviously worked, because a chunk of sd storage was taken, but where is it?

    It may be because you're on Bugless Beast. Just use ROM Manager to flash Ultimate Droid and repeat the process. Thats the ROM I'm using.

    Ok, but have I lost some storage from the first partition on Bugless Beast? My sd card total space is lower than it originally was .

    How much lower? Just make sure you select wipe data and cache partition when you flash U.D.

    After partitioning how you recommended in the thread i went to follow the sd card secondary storage step which wasnt there as i mentioned, but noticed that my sd card storage was down to total 14.11. Im not sure exactly what the total orginially was but it was something like 14.83. I assumed that was the partition, but if Im going to repeat the process will the data that was partitioned on Bugless Beast be gone? I'm basically just wondering where the partitioned portion of my sd card from the first try is.
