How do I move an app from rom to and sd card? - Treo Forums

How can I move apps from system ROM to an SD card? I am using Zlauncher and have FileZ installed (if these help me do this). I was just not sure how to move an app without removing and reinstalling it on the other media.

Thanks,
Chad

Don't think you can just "move" it to the SD card. You will have to install it onto the SD card. There are some programs that can't be installed on a SD card.

From ROM? Don't think you can. What are you trying to move?

Ok, after messing around some with Zlauncher I found it is easy to move apps back and forth from rom to the sd card. I think I am using the term rom incorrect….I guess I meant system memory? It will not let me move the standard apps that came with the Treo. I have read that you can make a custom rom with those removed, but I am not sure if I am that brave yet. The good news is Zlauncher let me move some apps that said they have to be run from the system memory and they still work great! Guess this might be hit and miss, and when in doubt I could read the directions…but that would just take all the fun out of it!

Thanks for the help!

Hi guys, I hope it is OK to jump in here. My question is pretty close to the topic.

I installed the game zap to my card (not enough memory in the palm). Is zap an app that has to be in system memory? How do you open an application on your card? New guy question.

Never mind I found the game on the card.

Opps!! I moved a program (solitaire to the card. Now I can't see the program to open????

How do I open the program.? I moved it to palm/programs on my card with zfile but how do I open it now?

Move it to Palm Launcher instead.

On the palm. Get a program like FileZ to move them. http://www.nosleep.net/
