Installing to the MicroSD card ?

Postby Detection » January 5th, 2011, 12:09 pm

Hey guys, Ive bought the scroll and it arrived today, and an 8GB MicroSD card which is all working fine

1. How do I browse the sdcard ? I have copied some .apk files to it via the PC and made a folder on it, but through ASTRO it shows a folder called SDCARD but there is nothing inside it


2. Can I install apps to the SDCARD once the main 2GB memory is full ? if so how ?


Thanks

Also, when you connect to PC make sure you mount the "External" USB device, as you will see two on the Scroll. One for the intenal flash drive, and one for your SD Card.

If you have put it on the wrong flash card, it will be in /nand on your scroll.

Not on 2.1 i'm afraid - this functionality is introduced in 2.2 Froyo.
