HTC Desire :: Apps On SD
Nov 6, 2010
I have a lovely black Desire on Orange UK, still yet to debrand/root to free up valuable memory. Currently enjoying 2.2 apps to SD although I don't seem to have found many apps that can go to SD, just wondering what everybody else has found.
I appreciate the list will grow as more developers get on board so nothing is definitive.
So far i have:
Google Earth
Go!Chat
Google Goggles
Google Shopper
Appbrain App Market
Tricorder
Thinking Space
Google Sky map
Uninstaller
RAC traffic
Vignette Demo
My Valentino Rossi
Blackmoon atachsave
Darth Vader soundboard
Homer Quotes
App 2 SD

I have recently purchased an unlocked HTC Desire. As you may or may not know, here in Australia the only carrier of the Desire is Telstra. However I use 3 mobile so that's the reason I purchased an unlocked device.
My problem is that my phone has about a dozen or more apps which are installed by Telstra and uninstallable. Most of them are 100% useless because I'm not even on their network and I'd like them out of my applications list.
I've had a read around and I saw something about being able to remove them by deleting the file and then uninstalling them using a command prompt program.
Would anyone please be able to give me detailed instructions on how to do this because I'm not sure how to find the system/apps folder and I'm also not sure on how to get the command prompt thing to work.

My phone is telling me my internal storage is nearly full, whereas I have a 4gb microsd card which is not being used.
How do I move my applications to the SD card (or how do I have my apps automatically install there in the future)

I've been adding, and uninstalling, I've been noticing some installed apps that I don't seem to be able to add to my screens, or use.
I was wondering what these were.
They are: -
Rosie Utility
Teeter
and
Street View (Okay I KNOW what this one is, but how do I add it to Google Earth/Maps)
Also I've noticed that on the pattern lock screen. There is a message that says, "This phone belongs to". How do I personalise this with my name?

As above, are there any apps that can do this?A big bug bear of mine is that if im loading a particularly slow web page and want / need to be doing something else, if I open another app, effectively sending the browser to thr back ground, loading of the page stalls until the browser is called up again.It's not a big deal, but being so used to my blackberry loading pages in the background, I kind of miss it.

Sadly I didn't realise how bad Virgin are in my area, so I'll be cancelling my contract with them and moving back to o2...
Unfortunately this means I'll have to return the handset and get a new one from o2...
Does anyone know if there's a way of moving my apps or being able to download them again on the new handset?

For some reason, sometimes when I boot up my phone, I'm unable to use the apps that are on my sdcard (froyo no root). It's not that my sdcard doesn't work, because I'm still able to listen to music.
It also happens most of the time I connected my phone to my pc and then reconnect it. I sometimes also can't unmount the sdcard. this happened before and I tried factory restoring the phone and reformating the sdcard. It seemed to work for a while, but now the problem has returned.

I've rooted my Desire, and am currently using the deFrost FroYo ROM.I'm trawling through and looking at different ROM options.I currently have all of my applications installed on the SD Card.If I take out the SD Card with the installed apps, and use a 'fresh' SD card to flash the new ROM, will putting the original SD card in the phone retain all of the apps and just work 'as is'? Or do I still need to back them all up somehow?

This isn't anything special but it looks promising and fun. If you don't know how to write code or just lazy. Google Android have come up with something. I saw it on this site. looks fun. Might try it: Google Unveils Android App Inviter, Create Android Apps without Writing Code.

I have been scrolling through the market looking at the free apps and considering downloading some of them, however I keep getting the warning notifications and some of them can be quite scary ie will access phone contact data etc and this puts me right off downloading. Some of the sites are what I would call trusted sites and I already have them on my PC at home.
My friend has an I phone and never gets these warnings and downloads lots of apps, so im sure she thinks my phone is rubbish compared to hers
So is it safe for me to download and why does Apple not provide the same warnings...

I went to the menu where you can see how much battery you have left and what apps are using battery life. Google Maps and internet were using the battery eventhough I wasn't using them. I tapped on Google Maps and Internet and got an option to close the app so I did. But the apps didn't close.

I have a rooted Desire with 2.2. I've been using the set InstallLocation command to force my apps onto the SD card. This as been working ok and I can confirm the apps are saved on the card. However my internal memory does not seem to be changing at all, it's still on the same amount that I started with before saving the apps.

A couple is questions: 1. I've installed Advanced Task Killer and I use it fairly regularly, but I don't understand why I keep finding apps I'm not using popping up when I check it. For example: when I finish online I turn off 3g or WiFi and use task killer to turn off internet. But I also find half a dozen other apps running, things like Clock, Messages, Last FM, etc. Can I stop that from happening?
2. I keep hearing that the display really eats battery life, but when I check Battery Usage in 'About phone' the things that between them account for about 90% is battery use are 'Phone idle', 'Cell standby' and 'Android system'. Display has used around 7%. Does that sound right?

I know there is one of these on the Apps board but I was wondering what your favourite app or apps are on your Desire.
Mine?
1 - Hancent (free) - So much more customisable and just so much better than the stock sms app. I particularly like setting a different colour icon for people, meaning I know who has text me without looking.
2 - Thinking Space (free) - Mind mapping app, I find it really useful for many things, especially when I can take down ideas when I am on the move and can't access my PC.
3 - Bebbled (free) - A great little time wasting game, I have wasted many an hour on this one.

I'm a newbie to the Android world and HTC Desire's. I got mine on Monday and am very happy with it apart from that when I am at work and using the WiFi here, I cant download any apps. They just sit there and says starting download. I then turn off the WiFi and put on Data Connection and they still dont download. But when I go home and am connected to my WiFi, it all seems to work.

I sent an email to HTC's Customer Services:-
"The HTC Desire appears to have "limited memory capacity" of around 570Mb RAM and 512Mb ROM. The MicroSD card can hold up to 32Gb. So, why can't you (HTC) allow apps be stored in MicroSD card? If you or Google are concerned about piracy issues, i.e. copies of apps from microSD card to another microSD card, etc., there is one way round to this problem. You and/or Google could consider installing some kind of unique crypto-key within the Desire's ROM (perhaps IMEI or Serial number on each phone?), and any apps saved to the microSD card would be automatically encrypted "on-the-fly" with this crypto-key. When apps are accessed, it is decrypted on-the-fly, as well. In other words, apps will ONLY work with THAT phone as it shares the SAME crypto-key. Putting a microSD card containing apps into another Android phone (even if it is of the same model) WOULD NOT WORK, thus solving the piracy issue? Therefore, would you PLEASE consider allowing apps to microSD card (as much as 32Gb card) and BEAT iPhone/Nokia N900 at their own game! Many thanks."
This is HTC's response (received today (6/April/2010):
"The reason that it is not possible to save applications to the SD card is due to limitations in the underlying Linux operating system in that it requires a filesystem that supports Linux permissions and FAT32 doesn't. The SD card is fomratted with FAT32 to provide compatibility with as many
platforms as possible. Thhis restriction is not due to us but rather a limit that is imposed on Android devices from all manufacturers.

Is there a way to update all apps (with updates avaliable) with click of a button, instead of going through one by one?

I'm painfully considering selling my Desire and making the jump to the Desire HD. A bit annoying since I've only had it since around May, but what can I say, I'm a sucker for upgrade models I guess.
The plan is to sell my sim free Desire to fund my purchase of the HD.
So first of all, if there's any glaring reasons why this is absurd - as my instinct is telling me - feel free to call me on it and show me why I should just keep my remarkable Desire and that the HD would be a negligible upgrade.
But moving on to the topic: this is probably a silly question, but am I right to assume that apps I've bought are obviously linked to my Google account from purchase, and so I can simply redownload them on whatever new Android phone I'd get...?
As a little side note, does anyone else enter into a fit of giggling when they receive a text with the sad face? The Android sad face just looks ridiculous to me, in a way that's okay, but just very funny to me for some reason

Just got my Desire and I am so happy to see how much faster it is compare with the Legend, and I specially like the addition of the wifi hotspot this is really a must have app nowadays. I give the phone 4 out of 5 stars, due to un-closeable apps and unable to attach a hand strap this is really stupid design.I find some apps can't be closed even with task manager, one of them is the build in FM radio, it won't close even when I unplug the earphone, there is indeed a shutdown button on the app, but click on it has no function, if I force it close with task manager another instance of it will start instead. There are many apps auto start by default with no reason, I use task manager to shut them down to save the resources. IMHO, by the time Android has become stable the Desire will be retired and excluded from the update

Ive had a look around various forums and cant seem to find an answer but is there a way, WITHOUT rooting, to remove preinstalled apps on the HTC Desire. Such as Facebook ,twitter, stocks, friendstream, footprints.
