Everything is on SD Card and still I have only 30mb free space...how can I clean up phone memory?
Install Root Explorer and delete the non-used apps
Hi install darktremor app2sd script! quick instuduction how to: first of all you have to partition your sd card via cwr then download darktremor app2sd script, put on sd and install zip from sd! its important to mount system and data first before install darktremor! then reboot if its done your phone will reboot again to put all apps on 2nd partion of sd card! then download app2sd gui from the market with this app you can move dalvic cache to sd also! and if both done tada emty interial memory ;-) ok one thing dont do or move anything in settings/apps on the phone after you install darktremor cause it ruins the script and it will not work anymore! do settings when only with app2sd gui!

Even though everything is being installed on the sd card the root or core files of the app gets installed on the phone memory not much but a bit

Moving apps to sd-card doesn't move complete app (it only move movable part of the app to sdcard and leave other to internal memory)....
So, partitioning is recommended. Partition your sdcard and install a2sd scripts to move app to sd-ext. For more info regarding this search at http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com
Best solution for me: with Titanium Backup Pro i used integrate sys Dalvik into ROM now i have free internal memory
I think s2e works just fine for our CM7, except the "Download Cache" option... Just don't tick it.

I've installed CM 4.1.11.1 and created an EXT3 partition on my SD Card using the recovery console, but when I install apps they seem to take up space on both my SD card AND my phone internal storage. I tested with a decent sized app such as Guitar Hero (4mb), which took about 3mb of my phone's storage, and 5mb of my SD card. Is there any way to make it completely use my SD card? Or is this normal?
Not using actual Apps2SD, using the one built into CM

I just got my g1 not so long ago and decided to start rooting. I've gone so far as installing cyanogens newest rom. and i just finished partitioning my sd card to ext2/3 successfully. but when i flashed the rom again all my apps were gone. on the market it says i have them but i cant uninstall or open them because they're not installed on the phone. any help on how to get my apps working again?
My HTC Hero is running low on memory space (I have Apps2sd installed also, but it can't move all apps), so I partitioned my 8G SD card with ROM manager, with 32M swap, 1g ext4 and the rest being FAT32.
After reboot, I still only see 160M of internal memory from settings, which is the original, and about 6.1G on SD card. That means it already took out the 1G, but why I don't see it as internal memory? Is it because of ex4? I tried ex3 too and got the same.
I have backed up the original SD card, but have not copied it back to the partitioned SD card yet. Anything else I need to do in order to see the expanded Internal Memory?
Thanks in advance!

Your sdcard space has nothing to do with internal memory. What you need to do if you want to have more space is 1 or 2 of a few different things: go into root explorer, move apps from /data/app to /system/app; Use Firerat's Custom MTD Partitions
either of those should give you more internal memory.

I read that after partitioning the SD card, apps will be installed into the ext3/4 partition automatically. But that's not the case after I partitioned. Then I found I need to install app2sd+ instead of app2sd. Is that true?
Where do I download app2sd+ ? do I need to flash a different ROM? I am having CM 6.2.0 now.
Thanks!

CM6.2 has native apps2sd. Go to settings>CM settings>Application settings and select "Allow application moving", then select "External" for Isntall location.
Also, you can move apps that don't install or allow swap to the SD via Titanium Backup.
Just be warned that any apps that have widgets lose widget functionality if you move them to the SD.

Does it install ALL apps to SD card? I thought it's the same as App2sd, only moving those apps that specified by the developers as movable. And there are many apps that can't be moved to external.
My understanding is by partitioning the SD card, the EXT2/3/4 part is considered as part of the "internal memory" so that ALL apps will be installed here, thus free the real internal memory and lead to better performance.
The problem is it doesn't work after partitioning and I read that it needs app2sd+ or app2sd EXT to work, and I am having trouble finding them...
Thanks any way.

Not all, but most. Like BrandoKC said, you can move more apps to the sd using Titanium Backup. Don't move anything with a widget you use, or it won't work anymore.

Are you talking about the paid version of Titanium? The free version doesn't have this feature.

CM's built-in Application Management can only move those apps that you can move by app2sd. I don't see such feature on the free Titanium Backup. My 160M internal memory is constantly under 20M of free memory.
I heard all the good things about using partitioned SD card. I have partitioned my card but that alone doesn't seem to work. it seems I also need to install some customized ROM on top of my CM 6.2 so that apps will be automatically installed on SD?
Thanks!
The free version of titanium does have it. I just used it on my fiances phone last weekend.

Hello:
I've getting these low memory warnings everytime i update my apps. i've moved most of my apps to the SD.
My internal memory is 196MB, is this right?
i'm thinking when i flashed cm7, i might have assigned way too much ext memory. if thats the case, how do i re-partition my memory. i need to update my rom to version CM7.1
thanks,
oh yeah, and for some reason, my SD card total space is 3.03GB (but the factory SD card's memory i believe is 1.99GB)
If you're using CM7 why not use DT a2sd or S2E to move apps to the EXT section of the sd card?
If I read your post correctly, you partiton your sd card but you're moving apps to the FAT32 portion of the sd card.
If you use S2E or DT, you can move apps, and dalvik cache to the sd ext portion of the sd card (what these script does is make the phone think the sd-ext is part of your internal storage. This way apps with widgets, passcode can stil lwork like normal.

Yes that is correct
Confirmed here too. 196 on non-rooted stock N1. That's all she has.
I just found out that deleting dal vik cache via root explorer. It empties about 60 mb of internal memory ...
Is it possible to direct the cache to sd....
And remember duke nukem 3d game sucks don't download it.
Is there anyone who can atleast reply

ya that's corrects dalvik cache use about 60-70 mb of internal memory and you can move the cache to sd by a2sd script but to use it you have to partition your sd card
So what partition should I use??
I tried using cwm to partition now it show s only 7 gb when my card is 8 gb how do I bring it back it also does not shows on pc that there are any other partition via mini partition tool...
Help me
Atleast tell me what partition should I make and answer the previous question...
well mine was having 65mb so i cleaned it up...i hope i haven't done anything stupid by deleting all files in that folder

that is because u did a partition of 1gb sd-ext which is a linux partition and will not be shown on windows.
so now u have,
7gb fat partition and
1gb sd-ext : use DTa2sd or any other script to move that dalvik-cache here if u feels it is necessary.
Hei can i use this script on stock rom...

Ok you can do
1) First partition your SD card by Gparted http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php and burn to cd
2) make partition ext2 or ext3 (not FAT) to your SD card and insert
3) Download link2SD application from market
4) Link2SD will detect partition
5) select partition and reboot
6) Now link2SD shows all apps and that helps to move dalvik cache and data to sd card partition, and u will be able to free internal memory
7) Remember, those apps currently installed in SD card need to be moved to phone first then Data and dalvik cache need to be linked to SD card
after linking Cache and data to SD card reboot your phone
link2sd

link2sd recognizes and uses FAT32 partition as well.
Hi I have Squadzones CyanogenMod 7.2.0 RC5 and I tried to partition my SD card for using one of the apps to make internal storage bigger.
So I have a 2Gb SD card and want to use 512Mb for Increasing internal storage, Dalvik cache, System apps and all other apps (But I want system to think they are internal, know what I mean?) and then 1.5Gb for External Storage so I can use it for Music, downloads, pictures, videos etc... Basically the space my PC can see.
So what settings should I choose in CWM and which app is the best for increasing internal storage????
Thanks in advance
first partition sd card on pc using a partition manager like Easeus partition manage,minitool etc. Format the partktion by either FAT or ext3 file system.Now,download a free software from android market called 'link2sd'.
Advantage of using this is that you can select which apps to move to sd or which to not.You can also link any apps to sd-ext partition.
If I helped helped you press thanks.
If I use this how much space will I have left to store music and such or will this use let the whole 2 Gb be used and then use some of that for storing cache and such

If you have a 2gb card you can make a partition (for eg.512mb ext3 partition)by using the above mentioned ways.You can only link any application to that partition only. However you can force move any app to sd card by using link2sd.In that case some software may gets functionless if they are not meant to move to sd(here you can apply 'link'function of link2sd.)
Advantage of link2sd over darktreamer app2sd or s2e is that you can select which part of the app (app,data or delvic cache) should be linked to sd.Moreover it is the most easiest method.
