Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.3.3 Custom ROMs | GingerBread 4.12.651.1 | *Updated 6/3/11*

I wanted to post some findings of mine regarding apps that install to SD on restore.

I have a2sd working and while most apps automatically go there on restore, i've noticed that a few apps have historically re-installed and had the check box checked to install to the SD card. Apps2sd style. Since I'm using a2sd I want that box unchecked and for the phone to think it's installed on internal memory (which by way of a2sd is sym-linked to the EXT partition).

The problem appeared today when I tried to uncheck those few apps and have them move back to the phone (a2sd EXT partition). I got an error about not having free space. I have 270mb internal phone memory free and 533mb EXT partition free.

I uninstalled the apps and re-installed just the APK (no data). I went back into settings and moved it to the phone no problem (no error message this time). I then restored data for that app and all has been well since.

Hope this helps those who have reported this error....
