Applications to SD on rooted droid

Ive had my droid rooted for awhile now, and its working great. But Im running low in phone internal storage, and I'm wondering how I can download applications to my sd card and also transfer the ones I have now from internal to the SD, which I'm pretty sure is possible with a rooted phone. What is the easiest easy to go about this? Or is there an app that does this for you?
 
1st you need to make sure you're on a ROM that supports apps2sd. What Rom are you using?
Next, there's a paid app in the market call ROM Manager, which will partition your sdcard for you. Its just 1 of the many features of this brilliant app. It will also give you a nice selection of ROMs and themes to choose from. Every rooted Droid should have this app.
 
I have rom manager, and I'm running bugless beast 1.0. I wasn't sure what partition your sd card did, so I haven't done that. So I just partition the sd card on rom manager, and download apps2sd? Is it in the market?
 
I just posted a how to thread here,

Its super easy. Let me know how it goes for you.
 
I followed your thread, but after the partition process, i went into sd card and phone storage, and there was no option for sd card secondary storage, it only appeared as though the sd card had less available storage than before. It obviously worked, because a chunk of sd storage was taken, but where is it?
 
After partitioning how you recommended in the thread i went to follow the sd card secondary storage step which wasnt there as i mentioned, but noticed that my sd card storage was down to total 14.11. Im not sure exactly what the total orginially was but it was something like 14.83. I assumed that was the partition, but if Im going to repeat the process will the data that was partitioned on Bugless Beast be gone? I'm basically just wondering where the partitioned portion of my sd card from the first try is.
 
Its going to wipe the partitions. Then you can repeat the process. There shouldn't be much data if any stored from BB. The memory is not missing.lol Its just partitioned off for apps and swap. 512mb and 256mb. But BB might not support, i'm guessing, therefor cant see it.

U.D. or Cyanogemod.
 
Ignore that last post. It worked fine. But i have a question about the speed of the phone now. SetCPU profiles on Bugless Beast could go over 1000, but on UD it only goes up to 600. Does that mean i need to upgrade the kernel? and if so how would i do that? I want to get the phone to around 1000 ghz again, since that seemed to be a fit speed.
 
Glad you got it working. I'm using Bekit's 0.8.3 low voltage, 7 slot, 1ghz kernel. Its the only one I've tried and its working great. You can find it under Cyanogenmod in ROM manager. 1st you have to check the advanced mode box in ROM manager's settings menu.
 
Ok great. Thanks for all the help, Im having one more problem now that everything is set. When i go into settings and try to access Accounts and Sync the phone reboots. Its also randomly going to the start up UD screen at times. Any idea why?
 
Thats not normal at all. Been running this one hard with no reboots. Does your market and gmail work? Even if you have to flash it over again it wont mess with your apps2sd. Just dont wipe cache partition and always backup existing ROM. But try rebooting it again 1st. You can try the fix permissions option in ROM manager too.
 
Agreed. Although i am pretty happy with this as well. I was running low on memory so apps2sd feels great. Games like homerun battle (18mb) and apps like Google Earth (22mb) are costly on memory. Now I can have all!
