DELETE APK PROGRAM'S ON NAND

[brianzion]

hi all
just a quick question the programs i have on the internal nand once they have been installed can i remove the apk file which i download to the nand? like in windows? (store them in a file on my pc for re-use if need be?) just want to free up space i have a larger sd card now so my main storage will be there.

Yes. They are just zip files renamed to confuse the stupid.

Yes, and you can rename 3dgallery to stop getting more of them.

I am now transferring all my .apk files to my sdcard. I have download apps installer which allows installation from the sdcard. I got apps installer from:

@ bitsink
i done the same but i used the pc i had 2GB to move to 4GB card. you can use the default installer to install from sd card in the app installer you change the search to /sdcard go to settings > scan folder and type /sdcard then press ok and it will scan the sd card

You can put App's on the SD Card but do they actually get installed there and run from the SD Card?!?!?!?

As i think with 2.1 they just get installed in /data/app on the data partition of the internal memory.

mmmm sure they install to the nand not sd card on android 2.1 like if you install a program on windows from a external drive/flashdrive it gets installed on c drive for example.
