Apps2sd Tutorial Activate, Check & Repair ***NOT FOR FROYO (2.2) users***

I have received alot of questions about apps2sd so this tutorial is to help anyone with issues with apps2sd ***NOT FOR FROYO or any 2.2 rom release.. (Froyo 2.2 has its own version of apps2sd built in so this is not needed)***

Evil Eris 3.0 & 4.0 have the apps2sd file built in. Most non froyo roms have it as well but if they don't, you can download the file here and flash over the rom "Courtesy of darktremor from XDA--->http://www.darktremor.info/files/a2sd/a2sd-2.7-update3r1-signed.zip

If you need to install apps2sd, go here ----->  http://www.droid-eris.com/tutorials-corner/how-to-install-apps2sd-with-evil-eris-3-0/msg10085/#msg10085



There are 2 ways to check and fix (activate) apps2sd

Method 1 - (You will need to have SDK installed on your PC, easiest way to install is to c drive directly on to C:\ drive not in any folders)

1) Connect phone to pc with usb cable and select charge only

2) make sure usb debugging is selected (on phone go to menu/settings/applications/developement and check the box for debugging)Open the command promot on your pc)

3) Open command prompt on PC and you will see c:\users\xxxx> (xxx = your username that is on the pc)

4) Now type cd space and then the the location to your SDK tools (should look something like this C:\android-sdk-windows-tools) and hit enter.

5) Now the line should look like this - C:\android-sdk-windows-tools

6) Now type adb shell and hit enter

7) Now you should have a # prompt.

9) Now type a2sd cachesd and wait about 30 seconds or so and it will move activate apps2sd and move all apps to sd card and then you should be done.

10) you can also us a2sd check and a2sd repair to check or repair your a2sd file.


Method 2

This is easier....If you are rooted just download the Terminal application from the marketplace and install then.
**make sure the rom has the supper user program installed (it should)

1) open the terminal app
2) type SU then enter
3) now at the # prompt type a2sd cachesd and enter
4)Wait about 30 seconds or so and it will move activate apps2sd and move all apps to sd card and then you should be done.

I can tell you from experience, it depends on which keyboard you are using to make the enter and backspace work correctly.  Which keyboard are you using? 

the keyboard im using is in the pick above, i hit the curved arrow in the bottom right corner...

Great catch Sik, didnt even see that.  SIk is right, Froyo has it built in.

ALso from experience, I could not use any other keyboard but the default phone keyboard to make it work for enter, back, etc. 

Ive been trying the second method with the terminal. Verytime i punch everything in and hit enter i get not found. what am i mssing thanks ned
I am running EE3

That was it thanks for the help

Just follow one of the methods above to activate it. It will move them to the sd card as well. If it comes up not found then you have to install apps2sd..

Just follow the guide listed
