IF YOU DON'T HAVE PARTITION, JUST FOLLOW THIS [this guide apply to all Rom that are supported cache to ext]
If you already have partition, just factory reset and reinstall rom and you'll have 165mb.
165mb left in a rom is a quite much. After i installled 100++ apps+games, it still has 130mb left. (None of the apps is moved to the SD)

OMG? too long's post? then go 2nd post which is shorter
Sounds impossible? But it is possible!
Wondering how??? Lets start.
What you must have
Hardware: Rooted HTC Wildfire, Micro SD Card, Card reader
1st, You need a wildpuzzle rom 2.2.1 (V0.6 gives 165mb, v0.7 160mb, v0.8 102mb[without cache move to ext]) Wildpuzzle rom 2.2.1 download page
2nd, Make sure that you BACKUP your SD card (copy whole SD card to computer).
3rd, Move wildpuzzle rom 2.2.1 that you have already downloaded to the SD card (DONT delete the copy in computer).
4th, You need to WIPE ALL THE DATA (wipe/factory reset) in your wildfire and make sure that you have already made a backup of your rom before wiping.
5th, Make sure that you backup your SD card with your BACKUP (backup-ed rom).
6th, Run in recovery mode and select wipe/factory reset the data.
7th, Choose install zip from SD and install your wildpuzzle rom 2.2.1.
8th, After your rom has successfully copied to the system (phone), reboot your phone and wait for a few minutes. (it may take up to 10minutes)
9th, Now simply set up your data (you may ignore them, you don't need it).
10th, Go in to the rom manager, and choose partition SD. Default is ok. (I use 512mb, swap 0mb)
11th, Now your SD card will be wiped and will be partitioned.
12th, Now shut down your phone (take the battery out).
13th, Take out your SD card and copy your wildpuzzle rom 2.2.1 to SD once again (make sure your phone is FULLY OFF).
14th, Now select system wipe (wipe/factory reset). [Dont worry about the partition, it won't format SD card]
15th, Install the wildpuzzle rom 2.2.1 once again and wait for a few minutes.
16th, After successfully installed, you can set up your personal info. Now go to menu > setting > sd and phone storage > and you will see 160mb++ left.
17th, Now you can ignore the move to SD, you can leave all the apps in phone but after you have fully installed your apps, try to reboot. It will takes UP TO 10 MINUTES to move the apps to ext [It will take quite a long time, dont worry].
[P.S. It DOESN'T move the apps to sd, your apps still in phone, it only move 9/10 of the file size (MB) to ext and reduce the size in phone. So you have more available space in phone.]
18th, You're done!
Please go menu > setting > SD & Phone storage > and check available space.
IF IT IS LESS THAN 160MB, THERE IS PROBLEMS, please try again
*PLEASE CONTINUE READING*
***Something that you cant do***
1st, Mount as disk drive in USB is working.
[If you hate taking the SD out, here is the solution. Use Dropbox, a apps that you can download in your phone and computer. You can upload files to dropbox and download in phone. So nothing to worry about mp3.. files.. and games..]
2nd, DON'T simply take out the SD card without FULLY shut down the phone.
3rd, DON'T press unmount SD. Your phone will not working and hang.
If you need to move apps from computer to SD, FULLY shut down the phone and take out your SD and use a card reader.
What if partition not working? Showed >> [a Triangle with a Exclamation point]
1st, try take out your battery and try reboot and partition it again.
2nd, if it is still not working after several tries, try to go market and download the ROM Manager in market.
After partition, your files still in SD card?
1st, try go partition again.
2nd, your phone isn't root yet.
3rd, try another SD card.
When you want to connect your SD card by using Card Reader, it shows "You have to format before using it"
1st, try to get a new Card Reader.
2nd, try another SD card.
I need to change the size of my ext, How??
1st, backup your phone
2nd, copy SD to PC
3rd, go menu > setting > sd and phone storage > unmount SD > format sd
4th, create partition
5th, copy SD from PC
6th, go recovery, restore your phone
7th, all ext and files will restore to ext.
8th, restart and done.
I want cache move to ext. what should i do??
Use this code to move cache to ext.
You may install 0.6 rom then install 0.8 rom without wiping the old rom. And ext partition still working.
if not, you need to use this.
Code:
a2sd cachesd (move dalvik to sd card)
a2sd cachesdreset (move dalvik to sd card and clears contents of dalvik-cache)
a2sd cachepart (move dalvik to cache partition)
a2sd cachepartreset (move dalvik to cache partition and clears contents of dalvik-cache)
I want the apps that have in Wildpuzzle rom 0.6, and 0.8 doesn't have it. How???
Dont worry, you can create your own update zip or apps and install it by visiting How to create your own zip?

Now go to Wildpuzzle rom 2.2 V8.0.11 page to download select trackpad to wake up and download it. Go recovery and install from SD. So there is no more problem anymore. XD
I want cache move to ext. what should i do??
Use this code to move cache to ext.
You may install 0.6 rom then install 0.8 rom without wiping the old rom. And ext partition still working.

You must have a2sd script install and type these code in terminal emulator.
Type su, it will have the superuser permission and type these code in depends on what you want to move.
Code:
a2sd cachesd (move dalvik to sd card)
a2sd cachesdreset (move dalvik to sd card and clears contents of dalvik-cache)
a2sd cachepart (move dalvik to cache partition)
a2sd cachepartreset (move dalvik to cache partition and clears contents of dalvik-cache)

regards;

Nice tutorial. Great work.

Hi melvinchng :
You did a great job.
But i have a little suggestion.
Since the rom mnnager only 3 options (128M 256M 512M),if i want to partition at difference size, it cannot be done at RM.
So partition SD card before install the ROM, (use Gparted or others,1 for fat32,1 for ext2 or ext3 ),then it can shorten the steps,
just install ROM once.
Thanks.
The reason for more space is because dalvik cache has been moved to sd

You can make and delete partitions directly on ADB SHELL using fdisk.
Code:
fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0
and next type m to show what you can do here.

Yes, you can do what you want, but there is more complicated because you don't use MB, but cylinders.
There is small tutorial chow use fdisk if you want: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/fdisk_partitioning.html
I only have 98,56 MB free (
hi really good tutorial but i got a prob i followed this step bye step but it nt worked properlly think i only got a 101 mb left and when i install apps they install on phone memory any advice welcome:d
or shud i just do dtapp2sd?????
I have found the stability of the system gets compromised when important apps like home start running off the sdcard. The sdcard deteriorates with usage faster than internal memory. So overall, be careful of running everything off sdcard. Nice to see free space but not at cost of stability.

the second point, I can understand, but the first one..... I`m truly dissapointed. So I should rape my sd card slot every time just to copy a few photos to a computer. (and yes, I know that there are several ways to copy data from the phone to aa pc and backwards, other than the cable.
Damn.
what if I've already partitioned my sd card and when I install apps it goes to phone memory by default @[email protected]

No difference, if u move to sd, after reboot, u need to wait for SD card to prepare the apps. If u put in phone memory, the apps is in the phone once u reboot. u save a lot of time on waiting apps from sd

Hi guys,
I am running a PA at the moment and I want to switch over to CM9, however I would like to try and clean up the phone from all the app leftovers and stuff. With the SD card this is easy, I will just format it, but what do I do with the phone itself ? Is it possible to format the internal memory as well ( the part that is not used by the ROM) or should I just delete the folders created by the old installs etc ?
If there is a procedure for this, this one would be really grateful if someone could point him in the right direction.
Thank you
you can safely format your sd card (internal) via windows / mac without any issues, Just make sure to copy over your important stuff (pics, videos, music ect) before formatting, then copy them back after.
Android will rebuild its required files and folders upon a reboot. You could also try the app 'SD Maid' (free & paid) which keeps your sd card(s) free of junk, removing empty folders, Duplicate files and a whole lot more... Kinda like CCleaner for windows !
+1.
would love to know too.
EDIT:
Wait what?
So I could actually like delete all my files and folders on both the internal and external sd cards, and my device will still work perfectly fine with Android automagically regenerating all the required folders and stuff?
That is...
Awesome.
Sure You would need to reboot straight away tho !
only Android will rebuild its needed files, Not your apps, So you might need to back them up too, or make a Titanium backup before hand.
I format my SD cards everytime i do a full wipe. what i do is:
Connect to my PC
Make a titanium backup
Copy all my important things over (Roms, Mods, Pics, Music ect)
Format both SD cards
copy back to phone my important things
reboot into recovery
do a full wipe / factory reset, along with caches and dalvik cache
*install new ROM*
Reboot
Restore Titanium Backup
Google for squeaky clean install from rocketrom thread.

Thanks guys, I had no idea that android rebuilds itself, that is mind boggling to say the least.
btw, since we are talking backup and restore, do you guys have a good solution for backing up and restoring contacts other than Gmail? Kies doesn't work with custom roms sadly and with Gmail I can't only sync a certain group.
Thank you again
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
sure, Go to your contacts and select menu, Go to import / export and export them to your sd card, This will create a .vcf file, Then all you have to do is the same method but this time select import from sd card and select the file and hey presto, Contacts are back

Also had that problem and spent my whole researching for the answer but failed to find an effective solution. What I'd just did is Ive downloaded Winamp from the market (it has a rescan media function) and I downloaded a third party Gallery app. Winamp solved my problem, Apollo music player recognized my music files. But on the gallery.. Im stuck using Quick Pic.
It happend to me while I was trying to upgrade from 2.1 to 2.3.7 and it seems that there's no solution for this.
Now I'm using MixZing Player for audio and Quick Pic for photos.
I got the same issues in the beginning of cm 10.
Backup your internal sd card files to your PC (also do a titanium backup for apps) and wipe sd card via system settings / storage options. Now only copy your music files and other stuff like photos back to your device and download latest GNexus Port from Elite (cm10) and do all wipes in recovery (data/cache/dalvik cache/system). Install Elites Rom and don't worry if the first installation is very fast and your phone reboot its normal. (your device should only reboot 1-2 be patient) if you are in recovery again, do all wipes like before and install the Rom.
Now all should be fine
Hope it'll fix your issues good luck buddy

Better Solution????
Any other simpler solutions? It's a hassle to copy and paste media files or using third part apps.
Need a solution please!!!

Option 1. Try clearing Media Storage app data from settings->app
Option 2.
For ringstone:
create on SD:
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
For notification:
create on SD:
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
and put your audio files
It work after unmount/mount SD( by enable USB mode and disable ).
good luck
I had the same problem when i was running cm7. Now i'm using 2.3.3 ... nice'n'easy.
All my photos appear in gallery, and songs are playable.
