Droid X2 External SD Card

[Ganuke]

Hello,

I have a question about a smartphone I have recently purchased which was actually an overstock item, but is new to me. The smartphone I am referring to is a Motorola Droid X2.

The question I have about this smartphone is wondering if there is any way at all through a tweak, rom, etc. To get apps to install and / or be moved to an inserted SD card ?

I currently have this smartphone rooted and have installed the Eclipse 2.3 rom which does have the flip/flop feature included. But so far I have only found the flip/flop feature to allow seeing the used & free space of an inserted SD card from within the app manager settings window of the Droid X2. I also notice that it changes the name of internal storage to " sdcard-ext " ...... And changes the name of an inserted SD card to " sdcard " when seen in a folder viewer.

However, apps for me are still getting installed to what is the internal storage and Not my inserted SD card. Also, if it matters, I have also installed Rom Toolbox Pro which has an " apps2sd " section. Within that apps2sd section of Rom Toolbox Pro, I tried the different options of " Auto " , " Internal " , and " sd card " ...... But none of those options resulted in my being able to install and / or move apps to my inserted SD card.

So, yep, I again ask is there any way at all on a Droid X2 to have apps installed to and / or moved to an inserted SD card ?

you can also try this app.. or another app similar...

and keep in mind that some things like games and widgets don't work very well when moved to the sdcard..
is there a specific reason you want to move apps to the sdcard.. because with the device having 4 gigs of storage for apps.. it takes allot of apps to fill it up.. especially with a rom like eclipse which is pretty well made along with being smaller giving you more storage space over stock

Thanks for the reply. I tried that and a few other related apps...... But none of them seemed to do the trick of getting the majority size portion of an app installed / moved to my external SD card.

It just seems the Droid X2 is so hard wired to put apps to internal storage that perhaps no app or flip/flop type mod could get apps from thus smartphone to an inserted SD card.

And while I know the 4.35 GB of available internal " SD " space is a nice amount...... i could see thw potential one day of running out of that space given just how large some apps can be in size. That plus the idea of having a micro SD card triple that size now unable to have apps from the Droid X2 placed on it...... Kinda stinks. Lol
