[android-beginners] Re: Install on SD

[Jeffrey Blattman]

yes they get installed to phone memory and you can't change that. you can however setup "apps2sd" which in which case you create a linux partition on your SD card and mount it where the OS can install apps. several 3rd party dists come with apps2sd enabled and if you have a linux part in the right place they will just use it. for example, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566130 it was my impression that installing apps2sd from scratch was a little hairy, so IMHO it's better to install a dist that has it enabled. there's a little bit of a learning curve to setting all this up, so be prepared to spend some time educating yourself. bear in mind that the SD card is much slower than the phone's memory, so consequently your phone will be slower overall loading apps. this is why (i assume) android doesn't install apps on the SD in any standard, stock android install.

When I download the apps It does not ask me where to store them, and since I have only 40mb left on the device I wonder if they are all getting installed on the phone memory instead of SD.
