Description

If you have any problems, write me an email!

APP2SD (especially hacks) is a very very bad idea for a widget. It has a reason that Minimalistic Text doesn't offer this feature! The home screen get's loaded before the SD card is mounted. Keep this in mind!

Please don't use the comments for feature requests or bugs. You can write me an email (develmil@googlemail.com). (Of course you still can rate lower due to bugs or missing features)
