Root installing apps to SD card

[joshminton]

i wanna install all my apps to run off my SD card. How would one go about doing that? im running OTA 2.1. do i need to root, etc and can someone point me in the right direction?

Before you even think about Apps2SD, you need to root.

Once you're rooted then A2SD is available with certain(maybe most now)roms.

Yes, you can un-root. Here's the gold-standard thread regarding this, imho (by erisuser1) (probably telling you more than you want to know ): http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-eris/86620-fyi-root-re-root-root-unroot-ota-root-all.html

Here is another (shorter) thread re. unrooting:

erisuser1, no big deal (saw your original post in my email and I was like, "huh?" ...lol -- I do wish you had been able to help darthanubis...still can't understand what was going on there...); thank you for all of your help to everyone, just reading your posts is very helpful and educational.

cheers!
