Apps2ROM [ROOT] (v. 1.4.3) Разработано Ludovic RENAULT |
Willing to free up some space or speed-up your applications without uninstalling anything nor tweaking your system?
Apps2ROM is the solution!
As some of you might know, Android system is pre-installed on its own space called ROM which is not accessible by user. There is usually some wasted free space there so why not using it?
When you update one of your pre-installed application (say GMail as an example), Android does not really update it but "deprecates" the pre-installed version and installs a new instance in your user space, which causes your available free space to decrease because of some duplicate applications.
What does Apps2ROM do:
- Lists all your applications and indicates their location (System and/or User space).
- Allows you to select the user applications you want to move/update to system space.
- Once enabled, on every device boot it will automatically check for selected applications and move them to your system space if found.
- On some devices (mostly stock ROM neo-rooted), the auto-move feature might not work so you can try the "Move now" functionality which is compatible with more devices.
- Removes System application / bloat-ware
Info/Warning:
- You need to have ROOT access on your phone.
- If you have a "Not found" error, try installing busybox, restart and retry.
- Some devices are S-ON which means "Security ON" and prevents from writing to system memory. Apps2ROM cannot work on such devices until you find a way to S-OFF your device. This problem have been reported on some HTC devices.
- Never restore Apps2ROM's data with a backup software as it uses ROM-dependent configuration.
- Selected applications are moved during phone boot time (or immediatly with the Move Now button)
- Applications moved to system cannot be uninstalled by standard Android uninstaller. You can remove them with Apps2ROM.
- Please read help menu.
FAQ:
Q: Does Apps2ROM immediately move my applications when I enable it?
A: If you select "Move now", yes, and then your device will be restarted. If you Enable Apps2ROM, no, applications are moved during phone boot time in order to prevent instabilities (application disappearing or crashing).
Q: Doesn't Apps2ROM slow-down my phone by checking for updated applications to move?
A: No, Apps2ROM does not launch background process so it will not slow-down your phone. Once you close the application, it stops running and will do its job on phone reboot only.
Q: Why to I need ROOT access?
A: Apps2ROM needs ROOT access in order to write in your system ROM.
Q: Isn't it dangerous to write in system ROM?
A: Just be careful not to fill too much your system ROM. There is a security margin of 10MB that can be lowered in preferences (decrease it at your own risks!).
Q: You said it can speed up applications?
A: It does it indirectly. If you use some Apps2SD program, by freeing some space with Apps2ROM, you might be able to move some applications back to memory which will make them load faster. People using high-end devices with a lot of user memory will most likely not see any benefits.
Q: After restarting my device, applications haven't been moved.
A: Be sure Apps2ROM asked for super user permissions. If you have a stock ROM it most likely won't work. Try the "Move now" functionality. If it still don't work, try installing busybox if you don't already have it. If it still don't work, enable "debug" in advanced preferences and report the exact error to developer.
Q: Where are system and user app loacted on the my device?
A: System app are stored in /system/app/ and user app usually are in /data/app/
People having problems with Apps2ROM, please consider contacting me before giving a low valuation as you might help me fixing your problem. Thanks

[2012-11-11] Samsung: Help me How to get root access on my phone?? Somebody help me!! |
|
[2012-11-07] yusuf: Surga apps No coment. Masalh bwat lho?? |
|
[2012-10-22] Hélder Silva: Excellent Does exactly what is supposed to do. The UI could be improved (the green and red light are a bit confusing at first) but it is a free app with no ads. |
|
[2012-10-17] Deepan: Ok |
|
[2012-10-15] paul: Great Just for moving maps this is worth 5 stars. But it does so much more. It's allowed me to fill my phone up with even more junk than I was ever able to before. Thanks Dev |
|
[2012-10-09] James: Great No complaints! It does exactly what it says... |
|
[2012-10-06] Shadi: Freed up 33 mb Thank for this wonderful app |
|
[2012-10-04] Ria: Perfect Just what i needed and thanks for the support Ludovic |
|
[2012-09-29] Michael: Works And asks no permissions. And it is free. Doesn't. Get any better than this. |
|
[2012-09-21] BR549: Helpful Moving Adobe Flash Player 11 to system causes it to vanish though! |
|
[2012-09-15] Michael: Excellent Some apps force close when moved, so it is a bit of trial and error. This app let me put everything in phone memory instead of slow SD card as I have lots of apps and my rom had lots of free space. People, stop downrating this app for some apps force closing. It is poor coding in the apps that makes them only able to run from /data/app and not /system/app. Not this app's fault. All it does is move the apk on boot. And ffs, make sure /system/etc/init.d is writable before giving it a bad rating. |
|
[2012-08-29] Stefan: Brilliant! This app is just what you're starving for with a device as Sony xperia neo. Very very helpful! Works perfectly and helps you get rid of the useless stuff. Moved apps are also successfully updating and being automatically replaced by the newest version on the market. Be sure to read the FAQ and install busybox if you experience any issues. |
|
[2012-08-27] Remus: Good, what i needed worked Good, what i needed worked |
|
[2012-08-22] Medhat Raafat: Great |
|
[2012-08-21] paolosca: Fantastic It saves lots of space in my galaxy ace. Whenever there is an update of preinstalled software i move it to the Rom memory and it overwrites the original. No more wasted space. Someone complained that there is no way to move back an app from Rom to user space, an easy work around is to remove the app and install it again. |
|
[2012-08-19] Safwan: Works great This app is great! |
|
[2012-08-18] Winston: Great I've been using this for about 2 months and just found out that I can move almost any apparently to rom. |
|
[2012-08-12] Bondze: Sucks Now. Used To work great. Instead Irma fixing Irma. They destroyed It. |
|
[2012-08-06] ravi: Roky Exlent work ha.....ha very bed |
|
[2012-08-02] Eezhar: Not bad |
|
[2012-08-02] pet: Works perfectly, freed up a lot of memory. The only negative is you don't get updates as it breaks the market link on apps moved to ROM. |
|
[2012-07-31] Sam: It works No problems what so ever. And its easy to use. |
|
[2012-07-28] john: Force closing apps After apps are moved and the phone reboots all the ones i moved over to the ROM (and some that i didnt such as the clock) force close, i've tried rebooting again and it still does this. Would also be nice if there was an option to move apps back to user memory. Otherwise, great app it did free up about 50MB's of space but only gets one star because the force closing kinda defeats the purpose |
|
[2012-07-25] Nikhil: Best app!! This app is superb Working perfectly on my fit. And if you guys are facing any problem it may be due to older version of busybox so update ur busybox |
|
[2012-07-18] Mohammed: Awsome |
|
[2012-07-18] Benny: Very useful Just select your duplicate apps, such as the Google Play store, press move, and bam! |
|
[2012-07-18] simpleaic: Just execellent Thank you Dev :) |
|
[2012-07-14] Dulkar naine: dulkar naine super |
|
[2012-07-11] Mauricio: Best app ever |
|
[2012-07-06] pjf: Amazing! One of my favourite apps ever. Now I can have space in my data partition, and use widgets with the apps I love. |
|
[2012-07-04] Angie: My favorite app You can save a lot of space by moving all system app updates where they belong in the system not the user data... |
|
[2012-07-03] Timothy: Sweet Great |
|
[2012-07-02] imran: Best I like this app.. |
|
[2012-07-01] daniel: This app is great... when it works.... I get a lot of use out of this since my phone has very little space and I freed up about 40-70mb of space. The problem I have is that after the phone restarts or maybe other its something else, the apps that I moved are now back to the phone and I am low on space again, I then have to re-move them to free up the space again. I do not know what this is happening. I will give 5 stars if it is fixed or I am explained how to fix it. My phone is an EVO 4G and is S-OFF rooted with Fresh Rom. |
|
[2012-06-26] jcarvalho: Excelente Permite ganhar espaço para novas aplicações movendo as app para o espaço livre da ROM e mesmo eliminando apps de sistema que não queremos... |
|
[2012-06-25] EO69: Awesome It does open up more space. This and a sd card partition can open up a lot of memory. |
|
[2012-06-25] Abel: Very very good app. Thanks very much, really help me. Rooted samsung gio. |
|
[2012-06-17] Ali: It will be a very good app if there is "move back to user space" |
|
[2012-06-17] pr0wl: Must be rooted to use |
|
[2012-06-11] Hélder Silva: Excelent Does exactly what is says. The interface could be improved (the green light red light is a bit off from the rest of the UI), but since is free with no adds it deserves a 5 star rating. |
|
[2012-06-08] KAP: Great for low end devices Freed up 20mb on my Galaxy Ace by moving apps to ROM. |
|
[2012-06-06] joshdmiller22: Great Great |
|
[2012-05-27] Spriggsy: Did it. I downloaded it used and it worked great but it won't let me uninstall even after when I brought all my stuff back |
|
[2012-05-07] Faiq: Good job.. Thanks..it works in my device but must be supported by Busybox (stephen-stericson).. |
|
[2012-05-03] Ricson: it works what it said BEFORE: Free space in internal memory: 17.6MB AFTER: Free space in internal memory: 39.72MB i juz move superuser,facebook,gmail and google play store |
|
[2012-05-01] Michael: Omg... Absolutely fantastic. I can't say enough about this. Essential, can't-live-without app for rooted user. |
|
[2012-04-23] Kenneth: Unbelievable I removed some stock applications such as Swype and AllShare from my phone, so I was left with 20~MB of extra ROM left-over. This app enabled me to move the updates for Gmail and Maps to the ROM memory, as well as Facebook and Twitter (which are apps I always keep installed anyway). This way, I freed over 20 MB internal memory which I really needed! Moved the apps to /system/apps/, so if you ever need to "move the app back", you can (re)move the .apk file with a file manager with root access. Cautious with that though, removing system apps can lead to a broken phone! |
|
[2012-04-14] Leonidas: The best app in android store Excellent..this i was looking for long time ..thank you. |
|
[2012-04-13] Alex: Not working Does not work on rooted lg optimus net p690..... |
|
[2012-04-12] Mark: Awesome Frees up space by moving duplicates to ROM overwriting the old depreciated versions that just eat up space. Must have s-off so that you can mount the system partition with write permissions in order to work. |
|
[2012-04-06] Mike: Sgs2 Good and works well so far. |
|
[2012-04-06] mLengse: HS-910 I can use on hs-910. You must install busybox. |
|
[2012-04-06] Alexander: Great At first I was having problems but that was because I didn't click that big-o enable button. Very obvious |
|
[2012-04-01] Tommy: Half score Works perfectly for my boston,doesn't work at all for my hs-e910.both rooted.5 stars if u can make it work for the later |
|
[2012-03-29] likesam: Great Great app. I can move updated system app to rom instead of valuable SD or internal ram |
|
[2012-03-28] Xat: Best!!! Does what it says!!! I was just looking for an app like this. Its great! Its free! Thanks! :-) I dont need to buy titanium pro now... UPDATE:- SADLY, NOT WORKING AFTER UPGRADE TO 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD! :-(( |
|
[2012-03-27] Paul: This app ROCKS! This app saved my phone from being sledgehammered by. LOL Low space warnings annoy me.:-D |
|
[2012-03-27] Mark: Great Thank you! |
|
[2012-03-27] Jody: Sucks It just sucks |
|
[2012-03-26] NTH: Good but UI needs to be simpler |
|
[2012-03-24] Bill: Hooray The cheers and a tiger for you |
|
[2012-03-20] Jonathan: Outstanding app ******* 7 stars Brilliant app, DON'T TRY FLASHING OVERCLOCK WIDGET or VLINGO THOUGH ****FORCE CLOSES ON BOOT**** But credit to dev. Freed up 100Mb |

|
[2012-03-11] netizen: Great app . |
|
[2012-03-04] Brandon: Lg Thrill Works with lg thrill, but the x still shows. |
|
[2012-02-28] Ash: Amazing Simply the best |
|
[2012-02-22] Allan: Now it works Now works as expected ;-) a 5 star app. SE sk17i |
|
[2012-02-19] Ahmad: Excellent This is exactly what I have been looking for. Many thanks to the developer :) |
|
[2012-02-18] Ilia: Simple and powerful I'm using the app on LG G2X with MIUI rom and the automatic move on boot didn't work for me. Very nice and simple otherwise. |
|
[2012-02-18] Hate the sin, love the sinner.: THE BEST EVER Using Zte Blade a.k.a Dell xcd35. After custom ROM noticed that 85Mb of system space is wasted. Finally able to feel proud to be a rooted user. This application rocks. Seamlessly works. WOW.... |
|
[2012-02-09] CoolApps Limited: Just what i was looking for and now i have 10MB in my System partition XD |
|
[2012-02-05] Lance: Works great. This app rocks. It is a life saver. I love having full control. |
|
[2012-02-03] ivan: If you get "An error occurred while moving applications", try installing busybox. (Thanks dev) HTC Desire, (rooted with S-off). |
|
[2012-02-02] cyberpod: What an awesome app! I have been dancing on the edge of running out of space on my Samsung Moment for months. It runs on the noobnl Radioactive Froyo v1.8.22 ROM with the Meatkernel v2.0.9 by joeykim. I just moved like 35 megs apps including the huge Google+ app which by itself would be worth this install. All I can say is it's exactly what I expected! |
|
[2012-02-01] Darold: Work's on my Samsung Galaxy S 4G rooted Latest update makes it work on my phone seamlessly. May also have been latest busy box update. I think I had an old version. |
|
[2012-01-31] Jack: Works. ...even when I moved duplicate superuser to rom... No idea if that was a good idea, but it was the only dup I have on my t-mobile sgs... won't update the google stuff since they went Orwellian... ergo, no dups there. |
|
[2012-01-11] Victor: Brilliant This is a great app, will free lots of memory providing you are rooted & s-off. The developer is very helpful too - Thank you |
|
[2012-01-05] Marcel: Cool Very cool app! I did need to install busybox on my Xperia Arc to get it to work, done so with fantastic support from the designer. |
|
[2012-01-03] ray: I moved one program to the rom and it stopped working plus it took ages to delete the moved program |
|
[2011-12-28] Andrius: Excellent app. Very useful |
|
[2011-12-25] Wesley: Awesome Simply the best |
|
[2011-12-24] Martin: Excellent!!!! Takes some working out .... but transformed my HTC desire....I have now lots more free internal app memory and lots more installed apps ... but also moved apps seem to load faster .... |
|
[2011-12-23] Ray Morris: Awesome. Saved a lot of storage. This is one of the best apps ever for a phone with limited internal storage like the Samsung Galaxy Prevail. |
|
[2011-12-22] rebecca: Saved a good bit of room on my xperia x10mini |
|
[2011-12-15] soutthpaw: Works good Works well It does what its supposed to. Seems to be stable and I was able to move all updated system apps plus my core user apps to ROM, no uninstall apps function though. Had to use titanium backup to remove apps from rom. Had about 6 user apps that would not run from rom. So 3 stars. Samsung Epic w/ CleanGB rom |
|
[2011-12-14] Ganesh L P: Need to s-off to work. Works fine for me. HTC Desire |
|
[2011-12-02] Girish: I cant move I cant move my apps now,der is an error that u do not hv enogh rom space,you can decrease in preference at your own risk,but i hv 1.7gb free rom space |
|
[2011-11-30] d8nnii: Doesn't work. This used to work on my Samsung but it doesn't work on my HTC sensation xe, rooted and s-off. Keeps saying that an error has occured. Uninstall. |
|
[2011-11-29] john: Moves apps,then they force close and no option to remove app from rom,had to use titanium to uninstall app |
|
[2011-11-07] Ken: Great ! Work well on Xperia Arc with 2.3.4 update !! Thanks !! |
|
[2011-11-05] Paolo: Does the job Installed it on my u8150 running CM 7.1 nightly and it works great. Made my life easier! |
|
[2011-10-31] Philip: Brilliant, does just what it says it does! X8. |
|
[2011-10-28] bill: Brilliant - a six star App! The previous version did not work on my ZTE Blade (2.1 stock ROM) - but was worth 4 stars just to identify the duplicated files! The version 1.2 added the "Move Now" options - it does the job brilliantly. I can now update in one go instead of deleting old versions before downloading and moving new versions of apps to ROM. Nice one Ludovic! |
|
[2011-10-23] Fidencio: Ur update fix the trouble now i do see it move the apps to the rom u are a genius man,i was doing this manually the whole time now ur app will do it u deserve 5 star congrats |
|
[2011-10-23] shimoda: Works very well The only thing that needs is the ability to return an app from System to Data. Despite this, is fantastic! ;) |
|
[2011-10-22] Igor: Great! Works great! But needs S-Off on HTC phones! |
|
[2011-10-13] viraj: Can be improved Still not working on reboot pl fix it Galaxy apollo |
