Find a boot animation that's less than 2.13 MB (that's what your screenshot shows as being available). You could also try having less apps in your system...

I moved my apps to sd and it freed up some memory

Moving your apps to SD doesn't do a thing for /system partition. It's only relevant for /data partition. And bootanimation sits on /system partition.
As suggested, move some of your system apps to /data, and/or uninstall some to free space. If the phone says "not enough space available" - the first thing to check would be just what it says, it might be right

A pretty handy app in my opinion, and as always, if it's a widget you use, keep it in internal memory.
Thanks, this should come in handy. I was previously moving everything over 1 by 1 with Titanium.
Thanks, looks like it's an easier way to figure out which app is Froyo A2SD compatible then anything else I've found.

[Q] Nexus One showing total of 405mb of RAM

Hi guys,
I've installed CyanogenMod 7.0.0-RC2 yesterday on my new Nexus One.
When I go to "About phone" I see in "Mem info (avail/total)" > "XXX MB / 405 MB"
This is implying that my phone only has 405mb of ram when it should have 512mb.

Is this a problem with my phone or is it normal? Is there any way to reclaim the memory?
Thanks for answering,
PD: Sorry for my english.
The radio I know takes up RAM causing it to appear less in the phone specs. At least on the g2 is like that.

Great, thanks for answering.
The RAM is used by lots of other things such as the OS, the launcher, Google core system apps, the system process, etc. Those all reside in RAM.

Might be you need to download again...

[Q]Always booting into recovery, any ideas?

I don't know that I can be terribly specific as whatever I did, I did a long while ago when the touch pad was still new to android. I was running a rom that had an available update, so I selected the automatic update option. I didn't realize my recovery wouldn't handle whatever script it was running after it booted into recovery. Something got interrupted when it shouldn't have. Now anytime the device starts it automatically boots to recovery. I bypass this by holding the volume keys as it boots.
I have reset the device using webos doctor, but the problem persists.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: attached a photo of startup

Sounds like it's set to boot into recovery all the time.
Get it loaded up in recovery, then using ADB, mount /boot and look in there. If there's a file called moboot.next, delete it. Also, type the following (without the quotes):
"echo CyanogenMod < moboot.default"
That should set your default to CyanogenMod (assuming you have that on your tablet)

What is the 'Other' in storage?

Just a little over 10gb is being taken up by Other when looking through storage in settings. Can anyone break down exactly what is included in it so I can use an explorer and free up some space? Thanks
Other stands for files that are not apps, music, videos/photos or browser downloads. For example if you transfer from PC to your phone navigation maps, games backup data, etc they will appear as Other because the phone doesn't know for what that file type is used for.

Do you have nandroid backups or any ROM zips on your phone anywhere?

It's your OS. Sense takes up that other for 8 or 9 so gb.
