Which feature prevents SD usage? #14

I have read 
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html#ShouldNot and 
the section which follows it. Thanks!

Well, ALL the features of Battery Indicator prevent SD card usage, because 
pretty much everything it does is done in a Service.

If there were a way to turn the option on and off from within the app, I'd do 
it.  Then I could make it possible for power users by having a confirmation 
dialog pop up that basically makes the user solemnly swear that they almost 
never unmount their SD card, and that when they do, they understand Battery 
Indicator will totally break and will have to be restarted manually after 
remounting.  But it doesn't work that way -- the permission to move an app to 
SD card is either on or off, and if it's on, then people will rightly assume 
that it's safe and reasonable to do so, which simply isn't the case with 
Battery Indicator.
