just wondering how you guys are determining what program should be installed in main or storage card? does it make any difference anymore?

I try to install as many programs as I can onto my storage card..The only programs that get installed to my phone are the ones that NEED to be.

I installed almost every program into the storage card, the ones i install into the main are the ones i need even when i have removed the storage card from de device, for example those that auto update from internet conection like system seven or weather panel they still work even if i have removed the storage card from de device...

To elaborate on the above post a bit, only those programs that are accessed on startup need to be installed to device memory (i.e anything appearing on your Today screen)

i just install everything to the main. guess once i start using the 8gig card i have i may remove what i have installed and the just save them to the card.

I usually put larger programs on my card and ones that I wouldn't need should the sd card not be in the phone for a period of time.

the rule to go by is this: if it is an app that uses the today screen, put it in main mem, or if the install say that it's required, put it in main mem.

everything else can go to storage/internal...

Been doin that every since I got a ppc (6700)

Anything that requires apps to start upon load/uses a today plugin gets installed to main memory otherwise it's storage card.

I cook all my applications into the rom then if I have to do a hard reset (I know... Not likely) I will already have everything installed... Of course, this requires a lot of up front time cooking everything into the rom.

Note, if something needs to be updated it is easy to just copy the new file over the old file in the rom so it is not necessary to burn a new rom every time something needs to be updated.
