SO i was running nook color version 1.1.0 and i used the autonooter to get clockwork installed. I then tried to use the monster rootpack to install phiremod but after it says install is complete i rebooted but now every time i reboot it goes directly to clockwork and i cant get it to boot up normally. is there anything i can do besides a restore to stock to install phiremod/cm7 or exit recovery? BTW i did remove the monster sd card so thats not the reason its booting that way....
When booted to CWR, use adb:
adb shell
Check that rom is mounted with:
mount
You should see /rom somewhere in the returned result.
If it's mounted, do:
echo -n -e "\x08\x00\x00\x00" > /rom/devconf/BootCnt
If not:
mkdir /rom
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /rom
Then use previous command.
If that doesn't help, you can always flash my cwr remover .zip, found on my nook color restore to stock thread.

thanks im going to try that right now.
So i am trying to run adb but it says device not found and i cant figure out how to get the device to mount
I had the same thing happen. In recovery, install the zip file in this post to remove recovery and keep it rooted. You will then be able to reboot normally.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
I read that it does that with autonooter 3.0. What you need to do is reboot normally after flashing recovery (don't reboot into recovery immediately after flashing). Afterwards you can reboot into recovery.
Hello guys,
I had the same problem, but with Team Win Recovery
I tried to remove TWR folder in sdcard, wipe Cache, Dalvik cache and even factory reset.
I installed a new rom, and as last attempt i tried to wipe all system tree, but nothing happen.
I tried to fix following the list showed in this post, but I'm not able to mount "mmcblk0p2".
Any ideas? There is a TWR remover ?
Advance thank for helps.

Not really sure what you are saying was your problem. But I have a lot of solutions to booting problems in my nook color tips thread linked in my signature. See items A8 and A12. And there is my partition repair thread.

As always, DISCLAIMER applies!
Pre-install:
-Backup files on your SD (optional but recommended should anything go wrong)
-Make sure that you have a 2nd partition on your SD card. If none, partition using CWM or any other method
-Format 2nd partition to EXT3/4 using CWM or any other method
-Make sure that 2nd partition is mounted at boot. You can check this by typing the command below -
Code:
mount | grep sd-ext
You should see this
Code:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,nodel
alloc,data=ordered)
How to install:
1. Download Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5.3 Beta 04 and save it on your SD ==> http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&drKey=1359&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D715940&v=1&libid=1311654060226&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.darktremor.info%2Ffiles%2Fa2sd%2Fdtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04-signed.zip&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com.ph%2Fsearch%3Faq%3Df%26sourceid%3Dchrome%26ie%3DUTF-8%26q%3Ddarktremor%2Bapps2sd&title=%5BScript%5D%5BA2SD%5D%20Darktremor%202.7.5.3%20Beta%2004%20%5BN1%5D%20(01%2F29%2F2011)%20-%20xda-developers&txt=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.darktremor.info%2Ffiles%2Fa2s...a04-signed.zip
2. Reboot in recovery
3. Backup (optional but recommended should anything go wrong)
4. Mount system and data partitions (Main Menu > mounts and storage)
5. Install file in Step 1 (Main Menu > install zip from sd > choose zip from sdcard)
6. Reboot. Done!
NOTE: After the phones boots, it will reboot again. This is normal because a2sd will automatically move apps to the 2nd partition of your SD
thanks for your head up for creating a tut for it for those who find it difficult
offtopic:
but one thing again i want to mention that all this topic will slowly moved in back and will be difficult for mini owners to find untill n unless there is a seperate mini section in xda.cant we together pm the admin/mod/stuff and request them for a mini section by showing all the dedicated thread for it. just a thought.
Thanks for the tutorial!

Plz Help
What are the recommended commands that should be run after installing app2sd, Or if we follow from the 1st post the everything is done and no need to anything anymore ....
Am i wrong or right plz corect me .....
I initially looked for a complete update guide on here and eventually found all the information I needed, but it was in multiple places and sometimes hard to find. After getting everything installed on my N1 I thought I would write a guide for other noobs like me that want to try out ICS or JB but would like a step-by-step guide. I hope that it is helpful. SpazeDog ROMs (both ICS and JB) are working wonderfully on my N1 - its a very nice update from CM7 with only minor issues so far.
Note: this was initially written specifically for SpazeDog roms, but as they have not been updated in a while I have provided links to other popular roms as well. If you would like to try a different ICS or JB rom this guide should work, just substitute with the appropriate rom and depending on the one you choose, you may also need to install Google apps.
If you looking at this guide and don't know the basics yet, check out the Newbie Friendly thread first.
Links to popular roms that will work using this guide:
Evervolv JB 4.2
Evervolv JB 4.1
CM 10, JB 4.1.2 by vijendrahs
CM 10, JB 4.2.1 by vijendrahs
Spazedog ICS/JB
Disclaimer: This guide involves making changes to your phone that potentially could brick your phone leaving it unusable. I am not liable for any changes you make or problems you may have with your phone. You should at least be familiar with entering commands using command prompt. This procedure will erase ALL the data on your phone. Make sure you have a backup of everything. A nandroid backup is highly recommended. Proceed at your own risk.
Before we get started make sure you have the following: a rooted Nexus One, a USB cable to attach your phone to a computer, and the Android SDK. If you are just now installing the Android SDK, open the SDK manager and make sure to install the "Tools" and in "Extras" the "Google USB Driver" are checked off and download them. Alternatively, you just download ADB and Fastboot (search this forum or google). If you have a Mac see this thread to get started with ADB and Fastboot.
If you Nexus One is NOT already rooted, then follow this guide from Cyanogenmod to root your phone. If you plan to use the adb commands below (they are optional) make sure you have usb debugging enabled: go to "Settings" → "Applications" → "Development" → enable "USB debugging."
Step 1 - Download everything you will need:
4EXTRecovery Updater - the first link will download the .apk to your computer or phone.
BlackRose - go down to bottom of the first post to "Attached Files" and download the latest BlackRose zip file. If you don't want to do it yourself, check out this thread to flash a pre-made partition scheme. Often the developers (Evervolv) will also have a partition schemes that you can flash via Fastboot from your PC as well.
Your rom of choice - go to the downloads section and choose which rom you would like to try. Download the zip installation file.
Since you will be decreasing the size of your partition that apps can be stored on consider something like Mounts2SD or AD2SDX to move apps to your SD card.
Step 2 - Install and use 4EXTRecovery Updater on your phone:
The easiest thing to do is go to the 4ext link above, download and install it, directly from your nexus one. You can also install it by copying the APK file to your SD card, then using a file manager to find it and install it or you can use command prompt by opening command prompt, cd to the location of the Android SDK tools, and then type in the following command (replacing "path" with the path to where the APK is located on your computer):
Code:
adb install /path/4EXTRecoveryUpdater.apk
After you have installed 4ext open the 4EXT Recovery Updater. Tap "Settings" → "Allow" superuser request → "Yes" to connect to 4ext to get new data. Now select "Online install/upgrade" → "Yes" assuming it detects your nexus one correctly → select and install the latest 4ext recovery (at the top of the list).
After 4ext has installed, it will have placed a recovery image on your SD card - find it (its called recover.img) and it should be located in SD/Download/4EXT_Recovery_Touch/ folder. Copy this to your computer in case something goes wrong later and you need to re-flash the recovery image!
After installation of the 4ext recovery turn off your phone and boot into recovery by turning off your phone, turning it on again while holding the trackball down. This will boot into the bootloader, then press the power button once, use Volume Down to select "recovery" and press the trackball to select. Alternatively you can use the command prompt:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Your phone should now boot into the 4ext recovery menu. Before moving on make sure you have any important stuff backed up because you are about to erase your entire SD card! Select "tools" →“partition sd card” → “remove all partitions and start from scratch.” Then for the 1st partition select “1024″ for a 1GB partition (this will be where ICS will be able to put your applications & data). Select "skip" for the 2nd partition and for the swap partition. Finally select the system “ext4″.
Step 3 - Copy the Evervolv, SpazeDog, or whatever zip installation file you have chosen to your phone's SD card
Download the ICS or JB zip file above and copy it to the root of your newly formatted SD card.
Step 4 - Installing and using BlackRose to resize the system partition:
Download the BlackRose application and install it on your computer. (Alternatively people have made flash-able partition schemes that you can just flash from your PC - usually links and instructions are provided in the installation rom's thread, Evervolv's here. If you do have access to a computer you can check out this thread).
Make sure your nexus one is attached via USB to your computer.
Open the BlackRose application - it will install and reboot your phone. Then follow along as shown in this video to resize your partitions for a JB ROM.
If you plan to install the ICS rom then use the video above as a guide but use the numbers (sizes) for the different partitions as indicated below.
After BlackRose has installed you will need to restart the application. After it has started up and recognized your device select "apply stock/custom blackrose" by typing in 1 and enter.
Then select "custom blackrose" by typing in 2.
Then type "resize" when prompted.
Now you will need to change the sizes of the system partition to 220 for ICS or 260 for JB.
Change the cache size to 8.
Finally name the new system partition, either "ICS" or "JB" depending on what you plan to install.
Note: some people have reported having problems getting into recovery at this point (if not move on to step 5). If that happens, luckily for you, 4ext put a recovery image in the downloads folder of your SD card and if you did what I said in step 2 you saved it. Try reflashing that recovery image using fastboot (remember the one that was in SD/Download/4EXT_Recovery_Touch/ and was named "recovery.img"). Put your phone into the bootloader by turning off your phone, turning it on again while holding the trackball down. To reflash the recovery open command prompt and cd to the location of the Android SDK tools. Then type in the following command (replacing "path" with the path to where the recovery image is located on your computer):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/recovery.img
If that does not solve your problems (inability to get into recovery) then I would recommend going back to the cyanogenmod wiki and installing Amon_Ra's recovery. Then you can use it to flash your installation zip.
Step 5 - Install JB or ICS:
Now turn your phone off and boot into recovery as you did in step 2.
4ext will load. Select "wipe/format" → "format all partitions (except sdcard)" and then also "wipe data/factory reset."
Now go back and select "install from sdcard" → "choose zip from sdcard" → and then select the ICS or JB zip you copied to the SD card in step 3.
Now either the ICS/JB installer will load or it will just install in one step. Just follow the prompts to install and enjoy.
Depending on the ROM you chose you may need to install Google apps (see the specific ROM thread for details) and will also likely want to flash an apps-to-SD script as mentioned above so you do not run out of space.
This method worked perfectly for me, hopefully it will work well for you as well. Enjoy.

I am sorry to hear that. Can you boot into recovery or is that broken as well? If you can boot into ext recovery try selecting "wipe/restore" → "wipe data/factory reset" and then try to install BCM again. I probably should have added that above, I will do that now.
If your recovery is broken but you can get into the bootloader (holding down trackball while starting up), you should be ok. You will probably need to flash Amon_Ra's Recovery using Hboot as was described in the guide from cyanogenmod link above. If there is a way to directly hboot flash 4ext recovery I don't know how to do it. Then you can try installing BCM again from the Amon_Ra's recovery and re-install 4ext after you get everything working.
I tried the Texasice ROM and it worked, but I didn't like it! Later I tried again BCM and It worked! I dont know, maybe I did something wrong... Anyway thanks again for the guide!!

I am not sure which part you are referring to, but, yes, a few of the above instructions could be replaced with fastboot commands.
The adb commands, instead using adb I can use fastboot commands right. That's what I used to root my n1 kinda familiar with fastboot. Thx

I used the adb commands above because you can use adb to reboot directly into recovery (fastboot you can only reboot normally or into the bootloader) and you can also use adb to directly install apk files - fastboot cannot do those two things - it is more for flashing images (recovery, roms, etc). In order for adb to work make sure you have usb debugging enabled: go to "Settings" → "Applications" → "Development" → enable "USB debugging."
Note that adb commands are not required - you can reboot into recovery and install the 4ext manually.
It won't let me post a link right now, but just google "adb commands" to find a list of all the commands you can use.
Hope that helps.
Thx. All I need it was to install black rose and partition it. Put zip on SD card wipe and flash. Installation was easier than I thought it would be lol
Also on ur guide you forgot to put 200 for the data part. You only had 220 and 16
Thx again got ics installed on my n1 smoother than cm 7.2

Yeah, its not bad - glad you got it working! ICS has been smoother than cm 7.2 for me as well.
Blackrose didn't ask me about userdata - it just assumed that automatically after putting in 220 system and 16 cache... I'll make note of that in the guide so its clearer. Thanks.
Got the issue with not being able to get into recovery after step 4, but I don't have the recovery image to flash. Once the SD card was formatted in step 2 I don't have a download folder. I attached what is in my SD card right now. Help please.

Try to find if there is a "recovery.img" anywhere on your SD card, perhaps in the 4ext folder?
If you can't find it, do not worry, you can just go to the first page of this thread, click on the link labeled "follow this guide from Cyanogenmod" and then go to the section on how to download and install Amon_Ra's Recovery. Once you get Amon_Ra's recovery flashed you will be able to install any ROM of your choice.
You can reinstall the 4ext recovery later if you want.

OK I'm stuck on what the path name is suppose to be. I tried it every way I can think of. Can you take a look at my screen shot, and tell me where I'm going wrong? The recovery image is on my desktop, so I'm not sure what exactly I should be replacing "path" with. I tried it from the link, and how you have it in your note. You don't have the "/to/" after path as in the CM link.
Well I tried a couple more times, and I can get it to seemingly do it, but it just hangs on this: (see screen shot) I get no error, and if I try to enter recovery on the phone I still get the reboot to the android and triangle with the ! in it.
place the recovery under the folder which contains fastboot.exe and rename it to recovery.img
now use the command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img from platform-tools directory

WOW Thank you both. I spent literally hours yesterday trying to get it to work. Tried your suggestions, and in five minutes it was up and running!
---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------
I may have spoke too soon. I followed the instructions to the end. Installed the ROM, and rebooted, but now after the X I get the Spazdog splash screen with the big Z in the middle and green dots moving, but it stays there forever. I waited 20 minutes one time. Tried reflashing, but I get the same thing.
---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------
Just giving an update on progress (in case someone else is in my boat too) Flashed back to stock GB. Reinstalled recovery, and reflashed Spaz. Got past the X, and the splash screen, but now it's stuck on the Android logo that looks like the night rider beam that goes across the word. Been there now for about 10 minutes.
You do have Blackrose, right?
Yep. Installed everything according to OP. I think it may be the partition sizes as I think flashing back to GB messed with them. It says 220 and 10, but after checking some threads, it looks like there is one missing (userdata). I tried flashing a custom GB from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1214543&page=98 and I was able to install everything. Got it up and running, so I'm going to start over for ICS, or do you think I can flash one of these for ICS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637166 , and then just flash the ROM after?
220/10 means that you have 220MB for system and 10MB for cache, everything that's left will be userdata, so it doesn't ask (total is ~436MB, so userdata will be ~206MB in that case).
In HBOOT you can check how large your partitions are, or you could use the FreeSpace app for example. Always make sure your system partition is large enough before flashing a ROM.
Hi
I have recently flashed Cassie's XtraLite v11 which is JB. After installing this, I found that I no longer have write access to /mnt/sdcard or /storage/sdcard0..
Whenever I try to run swiftkey, it says downloading language packs failed. I also noticed that an app called SMS backup & restore was throwing an error saying no write access to the folder where it backs up.
I am guessing this might be because I have lost write permissions to the internal sd card. I tried the following but still swiftkey gives an error:
1. Tried reflashing the Philz Kernel
2. Tried wiping everything and flashing the ROM and kernel again
3, Checked SU app and it shows I have root permissions
4. Checked permissions of the above mentioned folders and it shows up only as Read access in ES file explorer. I am not able to change the permissions to write access
5. Tried installing the app called Mount /system (rw / ro) from Softbeans. It says that the system has been mounted as rw but I am still not able to get Swiftkey to work
Any help would be highly appreciated. Please ask for more details, as I might have missed relevant details due to my lack of knowledge

What rom did you come from originally sounds odd and no other reports of this. I don't have swiftkey but did use sms backup n restore wit h out glitch.
Did you follow the flash instructions as detailed in the first post. Can you copy a file from your external card to your internal card.

I will try to reflash everything to see if it changes anything. Meanwhile if you can think of anything please let me know.
thanks a lot.
try this :
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /storage/extSdCard

sorry I have never tried this...where do I type this command?
Would it be possible for you to provide me a few links which I can go through to get started with commands?
Is there a noob way to do this? like an app on android?
I would first try fix permissions in cwm. If that fails then you could use terminal emulator to see if above command works.
Then if all fails I would copy all internal files from sd card to the pc. Then in settings unmount internal memory usb storage and wipe it clean. This is untouched in Rom installation.
Test you can write to.it I.e download file from internet if good
Then copy files back
Else
I would flash stock ls7
F lash Phil's kernel in Odin then flash the custom Rom again

ok
1-you need to install android sdk in your pc from HERE
2- then connect your mobile to your pc via usb cable
3- from command line :
export PATH
adb root
adb shell
4-now you are inside your mobile
for internal sd issue:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /storage/sdcard0
for external sd issue :
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /storage/extSdCard
Good Luck

1. Tried fixing permissions from cmw to no effect
2. Installed terminal emulator and wrote the command you mentioned...before that did su to go to root user...command implemented succesfully (no error). Still there is no change the permissions on the sdcard0 folder are rwx,rwx,r_x....I am not able to choose the last as write...I dont know why it is considering me as an other user
I installed the android sdk and launched eclipse as mentioned on the website...however when I try to type the export command it says that export is not recognized...I am sure this is a very very silly mistake but I dont even know if I should have typed this in the normal cmd on windows
Trying to reinstall everything from scratch now...
Okay an update:
I did everything from start and reinstalled...everything seems to be working fine at the moment...hopefully it will continue that way
one thing...do you know if the last installed apps are backed up somewhere and all the apps would directly be installed from play store? It used to happen on CM where apps would automatically download from playstore. I dont want to use TB or app2zip as that might add new variables which might lead to potential problems
Did you go the stock root first.
I don't use restore Google option as apps I don't want auto download.
I just use the all apps section in market my apps option. Only takes about ten minutes for me to reinstall all apps

No I didnt go back to stock rom first as I am not sure how to do that...wouldnt that be unsafe since it might have a buggy kernel? let me try to search where to go back to stock from.
Thanks a lot for your prompt responses, really helpful.
What did you do before it went. Was it installing app if so which one.
You should bide able to go back to stock safely. Using Odin.
Check Dr ketans thread for advice.
It sounds odd hopefully it's not a hardware issue and a good clean setup will help

about export path :
I mean the path to where you installed android sdk
if you use linux , the command my be like this :
export PATH=${PATH}:${HOME}/galaxynote/android-sdk-linux/tools:${HOME}/galaxynote/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools

The properties of the folder were still rwx rwx r_x but swiftkey was working...then I ran an app called Rescan Media Boot(which stops media scanner) and then the Swiftkey error showed up which said cant load language packs...
BTW, the other option where you have mentioned I can delete everything on the internal sd...the step to copy all the files of internal sd and copying back is just for backup purposes (to save my data) or is it something that is required for android to function...as I dont have anything important on the internal sd I can delete all the files directly?
It's for backup purposes. Apps also store save data in android and data folder so always good to keep a copy.
Out of curiosity why use the anti media scanner

Used the anti media scanner because everywhere people have suggested that on JB it is Media which eats a lot of battery...same thing was happening to me as well
Now, I tried to delete everything from the USB storage...it says that it is formatting USB storage but even after formatting the available space remains the same...is there anyway to do this wipe from CWM? is that safe?
Okay your advice on internal storage and this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985101 solved it...
I was able to format the internal SD through computer and now it is mounted as writable
It looks that I had a bad file/folder/whatever on my internal storage, so the system put /sdcard (internal memory) on read only as it notice the bad thing.

I'm having hard time flash custom recovery. I installed ROM Manager, when I tried to go to recovery I got stuck at android logo with EXCLAMATORY POINT. I already followed this instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10467058&postcount=1638 (deleted these files /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p)
Followed these instructions:
via fastboot
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (power on while holding the trackball)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc/mac/...
fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
via terminal app
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
su(press enter)

I also installed 4Ext Touch Recovery, but I think it need a wifi to connect to server, but I can't access a wife connection as of now.
What am I missing? I'm about to flash a ROM, my problem is just the recovery.. Anyone can help me with this? :crying:
i dont think you are missing anything just boot into recovery and flash your rom.
dont use rom manager to flash recovery, dont use 4ext recovery control app.
if you used one of the two methods you mentioned above (terminal or fastboot) and it was successful
then you have a recovery on your phone, boot into it and install your rom of choice, of course some roms will need custom mtd partitions whcih can be managed through blackrose, but for now just flash one within your parameters so you can begin
happy flashing!

I really dont know what is happening. Still I can't go to recovery. Btw, does locking/unlocking bootloader affects in flashing custom recovery. But I think I already unlock mine, how would I know if unlock or lock my bootloader?
... Yea very much so, and I believe I misread you first post, I take it you didn't root your phone properly. First of all check what boot loader you have by booting into your hboot. There are a few ways to get there but for now just power off and then power back on holding your volume down key, here will be a screen with some words and androids skateboarding, write down everything from that screen here.

Well you are better off than just an unlocked bootloader, you have black rose installed which essentially is an engineering bootloader that allows custom mtd partitions.
Right now you have 260 for system, 10 cache and 166 for data, this should be fine for any chance ROM but may consider changing later on depending on ROM you want to run
For now you need these things
ROM of choice and anything else the dev thinks you need (gapps etc)
Put that on root of sdcard, make sure it is partitioned to fat32 and not in any folder
Also need to have fastboot working, I'm assuming you are using windows.
You will need fastboot.exe usually found in the android SDK and elsewhere.
Proper drivers installed, and although not necessary its nice to add fastboot and adb into path in environmental variables.
If all this is done great. If not go do it now.
Now get recovery, let's say amonra. Open cmd in the same directory as the recovery image, make sure you name it recovery.img (if you don't change command to fit)
Boot into hboot, and put phone into fastboot mode and connect to computer
In cmd type
fastboot devices
If you see your serial # good, if not then you missed something earlier
Now type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If the output say done then you are good, select recovery from within hboot menu and reboot there, once in recovery do a nandrpoid backup (good practice) then do a full wipe, (yes wipe everything you possibly can - side note fastboot -w is cleaner for future reference) then flash ROM, gapps, whatever you need
Let me know if you get stuck

Finally.. Thank you so much.. I can now go to custom recovery.. Now I will backup and wipe then flash.. :good::good: Will press THANK button now, maybe a million times.. hehe
No problem, fastboot is a key skill to learn with any android device that supports it
Here is a guide I made a while back
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27796375
Its meant for a different phone but the basics are the same, I would suggest to read up on it a bit and you will have a much easier android experience

Hi, I have a follow up question regarding sd partition, I will just raise my question here than making another thread. I have 4GB SD card but I forgot how much ext partition I made before but my total space in my SD card is 3.21GB. I want to partition my sd card again and increase it maybe to 1gb. If I will increase my partition should I flash again my ROM (VJ CM10.1 | Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - v6.0) and execute a2sd command in terminal emulator? or it's okay to partition my sd card without flashing the ROM again?
You can partition SD without fllashing rom again
On this phone the easiest way to check what you have is in 4ext recovery under info, or if you have a Linux distro run gparted
You could also run df through adb shell or if not by a computer, open a terminal and type
such
df
But being it sounds like you want too repartition I would just flash 4ext recovery and do everything from there

I think a2sd is not working in my device. When I tried to install a2sd or reinstall it there was a line written in termenal emulator (/dev/block/mmcblkop2) I think that the reason why I easily having internal memory full, even I already partition my sd card, with 1024 ext partition using 4ext touch recovery. Check my screenshot in titanium backup showing my memory status..
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
It looks like its working, just need to move what you want from data to ext partition shown by titanium as a2sd. What ROM are you running? It does support having apps on ext correct?

if the rom doesnt have the feature built in then use an app from the market to do it, ive never used this rom so i dont know what options it has
also if you want an easy to see graph style layout of you partitions download Disk Usage from the market, you can easily see what is stored in which partition

Thanks, Btw, what if I wanted to change my ROM, what procedure should I follow? Should I go back to Stock ROM before flashing a new ROM?
Nope, boot to recovery, do a nandroid backup, wipe everything, wipe twice even, hell fastboot wipe (most issues people have when flashing a new ROM is not clean wiping)
Then flash ROM like you did first time, and being you have a huge partition for system right now I would suggest to shrink it a bit first, maybe around 170 if your going to use cyan mobile. If you do this you propably should be prepared to flash recovery again as well

Thanks for the quick reply. So, you're saying that I should partition my system first and flash recovery just like what you taught me in our previous posts? Just to be sure and making all things clear to my self.
