They will ALL install to sd and they will ALL work. That's because they won't know they are on SD. I won't tell them if you won't!
One more question from me. I am right at installing app2sd and JiT. The problem is that when i want to do the " sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh" it alway tells me
"/system/bin/sh_bak: Can't open /sdcard/app2sd.sh"
And when i want to do the JiT thing it says cd: can't cd to /sdcard/JiT-toggle-0.1...
whats the problem here? SU works....app2sd work at one time but the script could not find the busybox file?..
Thx Guys.

Not about busybox my friend. Are the files in the root of the sdcard? And is the phone in the "just charge" mode?

My pc did cd it...
Actually after app2sd when you Connect your phone it connects your ext2 partition automatically even thoug you selected charge the phone..
You need to Click on safely remove hardware and than remove usb storage to unmount the ext2

Paid???? I doubt it in your case... Hahaha
Don't bother about titanium backup its useless... install xrecovery... 186free means your app2sd is working...
Enjoy and stop bothering that's my advice
Thanks man!
You can do this by mounting SD from your phone. No need for memory card reader.
Now I have one more question. I want to buy a bigger SD card. How can I copy all from my old card to a new one without losing any app?

Just backup everything using xrecovery and than app2SD the new card and than do restore...
Remember xrecovery will backup only your complete system (including the ext2 partition)however your card data will stay on your card so don't format your card unless you don't need it

2 possible problems:
1. when typing SU check your phone. It will ask for root access. Click yes.
2. phone not rooted or you don't have superuser installed

I got su to work but error is this:
busybox: not found
busybox: not found
mkdir failed for /system/xbin, File exists
rm failed for /etc/mount_sd.sh, No such file or directory
I formated my sd card like described. What files do I need to have on it beside extracted files form app2sd?

Jeap. Everything that tutorial said...
I see that there is a new version of 2.1 with app2sd and jit and xrecovery in it so I'm gonna try that

i've successfully app2sd'd my phone! though i noticed that the "actual available storage size" in my sd partition 2 (the one for app2sd) is invisible. it's only the internal phone storage that is displayed in settings (it's the 174mb display in a post about 2.1 root add-on's).
i partitioned my sd card into 6-2 parts (i have an 8gb card). after app2sd, i remember i have 182mb internal phone storage. after installing a host of apps (including biggies as handcent [5mb] and angry birds [14mb]), my internal phone storage went down to 178mb only! is it because the apps are now dumped to the sd card? if that's the case, why was my internal phone storage still decreased by 4mb?
does it really work that way?

Internal memory will decrease due to caches.. i installed the file posted in XDA X8 forum but still caches are in internal memory only. we can use "Cachemate for Root" application from the market, to clear caches and increase phone's internal memory..

use the script I've uploaded here (thanx to xda) it moves cache to the card too ..
but before you do it uninstall app2sd..
to dat just run the script again and it will give you option to uninstall it..

I know your case..
when you uninstall it, it asks for two options about installing apps
1. from backup
2. from sd card
you probably must have selected sdcard..
select option #1
