Root Apps I have verified that support Apps2SD

Here's something interesting. I DL'd Google Earth from the Market, intending to move it to my SD card -- but it had already installed itself directly to my SD card.

I tried that to see.

Same thing.

Also added some random game app, it installed directly to SD card. Havent checked to see if they work.

*****They do.*****

I suppose all will install to SD card, and if you want to install one with widget, you have to go in and move back to phone... dunno.

Google Earth definitely works. Oops! You were typing "They do" as I was typing that first sentence. I'm thinking the same thing -- running that command makes apps install by default to the SD card, so you have to move them if you want them on the phone.
 
su
pm setInstallLocation 2

worked perfectly!

The following can be added to the list of apps that run off the SD card:

aCar
Adobe Reader
Discovery
Docs to Go
Epicurious
eBay
eBuddy
Engadget
Facebook
Goggles
Google Sky Map
Movies
My Verizon
Pandora
Replica Island
Scanner Radio
Seesmic
ShopSavvy
Slacker
Sportstap
TV Listings
USA Today
Virtual Vuvuzela
Where
World Droidcup
Zillow

NON-working:

Layar (FC's)

I didn't move anything that has a widget that I use - I have rebooted a few times and have had no problems, BUT, I have lost icons for these apps -they all show as the little icon that resembles the market app icon.

To get the icons to show back up, go into setting, whatever launcher you use, hit "Force Stop". You should be able to go back out and see them now.
 
Ok, I got it to work, but it don't move on the first try, I have to do it twice for it to work. And also, how can we reverse this if we want to?

I suppose this would be code for back to regular?

su
pm setInstallLocation 1

I will try. One sec.

Let me backup, I like it auto installing on SD card.

I rebooted with no problems as well, and will post my larger list later. The weird thing is that my apps lost their icons when I moved them using TiBu and then rebooted, but they haven't lost their icons when moving from Settings>Applications after running that command.

That is the command to change it back to normal. Just tested, can verify it will go back to installing on your phone, as normal.
 
So far, I've verified that the following apps run perfectly from the SD card (using the command above and moving to SD card from Settings>Applications or DLing from Market directly to SD card:

I was going to keep updating the list, but with this command, I think the list is no longer really needed.
 
However, I will say this:

Everytime I reboot my Froyo (FRF57 base-only, no theme) LauncherPro loses all apps that have been moved, and I have to FC and then let it restart on its own.

Anyone have any ideas about this issue?
 
Gods, I have some updating to do with this thread...

Hmm, time to make a Google Docs for us all to update, eh?
