I really need away to move apps from my tab to the sd card with out rooting it.

Download an app called a2sd or app2sd by Sam Lu. That should do it But have you really used 2gb already?

I have that app and it won't move all apps to sd. I wanna move all with out rooting.

Um, guys...it's running 2.2, there is no need for a third party app or rooting.
Go to Applications/Manage Applications, pick the app you want to move, click on it, you'll see a big huge tab that says:
Move to SD Card​
You should be able to figure the rest out.
It won't move them I have tried. I have a Evo so I'm familiar weith 2.2 froyo.

Which apps won't move. You can only move apps that would be in Data as well as aps that support apps2sd?
Wow, you want APPS2SD on a system with this much space? What on earth are you putting on there that an extra few MB becomes essential to you?

Exactly my first thought.
But still, even rooting isnt giving us a2sd+ atm, so referring to that is pointless. And FroYo a2sd wont give you that much more space. And the apps take longer to load after a reboot.

The amount of available space for application storage is still the same. The additional storage on the 16gb Tabs appears as external memory, exactly like an external SD card. The only difference is that with the 16gb models, you don't have to populate the SD card slot to have external storage.
As far as apps are concerned 2gb is more than sufficient - my HTC Desire had less than 100mb available for apps and that was too small, but we're talking 20 times that here.
FWIW, most storage hungry apps (e.g games) tend to install resources to external memory. For example most Gameloft games are around 20mb on internal memory, with an additional 300mb going external (which woukd be SD card on a Sprint or Verizon Tab).

Using cm7, I find many issues stem from apps trying to read from SD. is there a way to resize emmc to a smaller size and increase the size of internal storage? or are they on a seperate physical storage?
Thanks
If I understand correctly, what you are asking is it is possible to have CM see the WHOLE 5 GB as internal storage, rather than .998 GB and a mount point at /mnt/emmc?

Could it be that the apps are written to store data to the mount point /sdcard?
There is a app in the developers area to swap /mnt/emmc and /sdcard. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034939
I have not tried it so can not tell you how it works.

Let me get this right, you want to join the capacity of the emmc and the sdcard as one mount point. Like a strip set?
I do not think that it would wise or even possible.

No, no. If you look at the way that CM7 uses the EMMC card on board it "splits" it into storage(the way a phone sees it in android) and a mount point that is like an SD card. The problem with this is that some apps are poorly written and can't see that mount point at /mnt/emmc. So you end up with certain apps not being able to access roughly 4 gigs of onboard storage.
The sdcard is seperate and handled correctly.
What the idea is here is to get the "phone storage" size to be the whole emmc and not just.92Gb(some limitation of android/CM7?). So you would end up when you look at the storage option in CM with Internal storage reading something like 4.9 gig instead of .92 gig and have no mount point at /mnt/emmc. All apps should be able to see the full capacity of the EMMC card and the external SD card this way.
Edit: sorry if I seem to ave threadjacked you electrikjesus. You just asked a VERY good question.
I would be happy even if there was a nice way to mount the emmc as /sdcard and then mount the actual external sd card as /sdcard/external_sd, similar to how my Captivate handles is. This would at least allow both to be access by all applications, and not just those few that will allow you to access parts of the filesystem besides /sdcard. Is there any reason fstab couldn't be modified to this?

I figured that you all would pretty much take it from here You know exactly what I was asking. Currently EMMC is a huge waste of usable space even if I resize it for DualBoot, I still have a good 2gb left over that could be used to increase the internal storage of my Daily CM7. I use the DB for honeycomb tests.

Yep, I understand it perfectly...just never would have thought of actually asking about it
anywho...heres hoping that one of the devs or someone with some knowledge of the subject will chime in.
bump bumpty bump. Did we get lost in the 1.2 flood or what?
Really would like to see this happen as well, as it's kind of silly to have such a low amt of space for Apps and then a bunch of space kind of hidden that some may never even know about.
couldnt agree more - bumping my apps to the sdcard is a pain - Id like to have that unwasted /emmc 5 gig slice for something..
I have been looking everywhere to find an answer to this very question. Would love that extra space for apps and what not.
I use emmc to store all my music. Then point my music app to that partition. PowerAmp sees it just fine and I have the rest of my partitions freed up for more important things. Call me silly but I thought that is what it was for, to store data.

Nope..you are both getting and missing the point. What if I want to store epubs there and my reader app of choice can't see anything but the "internal" storage or SD card. That's roughly 4 gigs of unusable space for me then. It would seem to me that from a compatability standpoint, getting all this to be seen as "internal storage" would be optimal.
Some apps just can't see that mount point, mostly those that were designed with typical phone setups in mind.

Tassadar released his amazing app, multiboot v3 yesterday, which among other things provides usb booting support. Today, I installed rasbeanjelly on my external hdd. I now have 147 gigs of internal memory in android.
I just thought I would share this, as i believe it is the largest internal memory on an N7 to date. Thanks again to Tassadar for multiboot. No more worrying about space.

Not really "internal" though is it.
That's pretty cool but carrying around a HDD just to use the tab is pretty counter-intuitive.
Than this is not for you. It is not physically internal, but from a software standpoint, it is indeed internal. You dont have to carry it around, because i also bave two more + ubuntu installed on the device itself. This is for when i am "docked". It works well also because I made a modified otg cable that is about 6 feet long, and the hdd cord is 3 feet. That, and my hdd attatches to the back of my case.

It really is. I keep 2 android and one ubuntun installation on the device itself, and one android and one ubuntu on the external hdd. I test alot of apps and beta test others, and never have to worry about crashing my os. I jist test everything on one of my extras. If it crashes, i just boot back to internal. Also handy for big games and having 10-20 movies and thousands of songs accessible whenever I want them. My external is very small physically, so no big deal there.

On memory size, it is overkill. That was the point, as this started as a test to see if it could be done. The hdd will be split into 3 partitions. One android, one ubuntu and one collective storage to be shared across them all. The handy thing is, there are three nexus 7 in my house. I can boot the same os from any of them, by just plugging the hdd in. No transferring backups, no flashing. Just plug, boot and done. All my stuff and settings, just as they were on the other.

What is the 500 Gb formatted with? Mine was picky with fat32 and ntfs. Once I formatted to ext4, it took right away. I would bet it will work for you too. Hope you get it going!
Edit: You also need an hdd with external power supply. Mine did not, so I had to splice a 5 volt supply into the usb cord. Works perfectly.

So did you format your HDD with Linux in ext4? Yesterday I tried to install paranoid on a 16gb pen drive formatted in fat32 and I set data.img to 1024mb, cache to 500mb and system to 600mb but it took too many time! How long did it take to create a 147GB data.IMG?????

On the external hdd, an android rom installed even faster than flashing straight to the n7. Rasbeanjelly installed in about 6 seconds, and gapps about the same. Ubuntu took 10 minutes from flash to desktop ready. Format your hdd to ext4 and give it a shot. The speed is actually pretty shocking. A regular usb 2.0 pendrive would take forever to install to. The hdd is lightning fast. I will make a video and upload to youtube of an android installing to the hdd later tonight.
So also if I try to format my pen drive in ext4 nothing changes and I've to switch to HDD to obtain your installation time, right?
Did you format it with Linux or a windows tool?

Correct. The hdd has a much higher i/o speed capability. The 2.0 pen drive is very slow.

I think you are confusing "internal" and "on board". Internal is not just memory "inside" the device. Internal also refers to the space in which the operating system is itself installed to and grows within. When booting this particular system, it is entirely on the hdd. It is using no on board space at all.
To be strictly accurate, "internal memory" is any memory which loses its contents upon loss of power (dynamic, ram). So we are both technically wrong. However, the android clearly sees it as internal.

Based on what I was reading in the Barnes and Nobles Nook HD forums, setting up a Hybrid system SD card as primary storage is NOT a task for the light hearted. I found a way that's easy to do and works great. I have 32gb G.Skill class 10 Sd and a Barnes and Noble Nook HD
(Not Plus, Haven't tried this on Plus). (Seems long but it really only took me 30 mins from the very beginning)
- First and foremost you have to set up your SD card and get CWM (Clockworkmod) active. I just followed Diogenes5 instructions that are posted on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37578234 . I just followed up to Step 7
- I then booted up to Cyanogen and once I got to the lock screen I just held the power buttom to shut down.
- Now pop out the SD, and hook it up to the computer
- I used a program called Mini Tool Partition Wizard
- This will dislplay all the Partition on your SD card (Should be split in 4 parts)
- Now Delete (Format) the larger part ot the Sd card which should be all the way to the right (Fat 32)
- Also Delete The Ext 4 partition and now you will have 1 larger empty space.
- Partition the Unallocated space into 2 any way you like. The left half should be partitioned Ext 4 (Primary) this will be your actual system space.
- The right half of the partition will be fat 32 and Cyanogen will see this as an SD partition. I prefer to make the system partition larger.
With my own set up I have the system partition as 21 gigs and the secondary Sd partition as 8 gigs.
Downloaded the Newest Rom at the time which is cm-10.1-20130425-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird *** NEWEST
good luck and let me know how you did

Why is this a break through? Having your /system at 21GB is a complete waste of SD space. You cannot use it for anything. CM10.1 only uses about .5GB of that and the rest is wasted.

Edit2: And if you are talking about using the 21GB for something besides the /system ROM, it is not usable. That is why we made it so small in the first place.

You are right about one thing, there is no other thread with a tutorial about how to change the Hybrid's partitions. But what you are not explaining well and I am not getting is, why would anyone want to do this?
Are you under the impression that making the /system partition larger is somehow useful? If so, tell me how you are going to use that extra /system space. Maybe that will help me understand.

Well what I found Is that 5gb is not enough for me personally. I am really trying to turn this thing into a media player which I'm assuming everyone else is trying to do as well, so < 5gb is not cutting it... At all. There is a dramatic difference between 5 and 20gb; you have a lot more freedom and flexability. Also please keep in mind that formatting the wrong partitions can brick/corrupt your Nook HD so please don't speak of it so lightly because you might mislead others who may think its harmless.

Lol. This is a good read if only for the amusing factor. You don't realize that you just lost 20Gb of usable space because the /system partition Is used for system files and ONLY system files. And that's why it's so small, because the system only needs .5 gigs. The rest (in partition 4) which you significantly reduced, is where the media and data is kept.
Leapinlar has tried 3 times to make this point. He is a very patient man but I think you are stretching him pretty thin. Please re read the entire thread carefully and hopefully you will see why he's saying that the process you are describing is not beneficial.

There is no reasoning with him.
I think I understand now what he is saying about the 5GB. The stock 8GB Nook HD has only 5GB of internal media space for storing media files. But what he is not getting is his mod does not help that situation. Somehow he is thinking increasing the SD /system will help. Like you also tried to point out, he just took 20GB of his SD media space away that he could have been using for media files and allocated it to useless /system space.
I really don't care what he does with his own device, I just don't want him influencing others to do the same thing with theirs. Thanks for the support.

Wow! . Just for the record both partitions have OVER 5gb of content and I have no problems what so ever with the space being used. In my first post I made a mistake of saying that the Ext 4 is the system partition which I guess is wrong thanks to **** and dock who were so PROUD to correct me. Use common sense, I guess its obvious that I didn't touch the system partition because If I did format it I would have a bricked system. Thanks for the information and I see the error in my explanation but please don't be so condesending with your little comments.

Apology accepted.
can you use live wallpapers with 7.4.3? if so how?
You cannot use any wallpapers in this version by default. There are system level changes that prevent it. There is, however, a patch floating around the forums that can fix this.

I suggest running it without having a alternate launcher installed already, among a few other things. Anyways, here ya go!

says that awk.exe is not 64bit
Yea I heard about this on my thread a few days ago, can't debug it till my dad brings his laptop from work home on Friday, I don't have any other pc,'s with a 64 bit os. If you need a workaround use a Ubuntu live disk with my script until I can fix, if I even can, don't know why a simple 32 bit program like awk won't work on a 64 bit is, should easily be backwards compatible, maybe it has to rely on the 32 bit c++ redist , and my program doesn't tell the user to DL the 32 bit version unless they are on a 32 bit os. just a guess though, I'll test it out this weekend.

ok so i tried it on my other laptop with XP and i get
Your system partition is too low on disk space to complete the procedure, please delete your alternate launchers, widget picker, and live wallpaper chooser installed and try again
i do not have live wallpaper piker or app widget but i am running go launcher HD
this is a Kindle Fire HD with 32g why would i be out of space?
Ah that's be cause you don't know what a partition is. You know how on windows your hard drive is usually c:\ ? Well that just represents a partition on the hard drive, not the hard drive itself, you can split the hard drive into several partition and have multiple drive letters, like how most PC's have a recovery partition and a system partition. Well the kindle does the same, it has a partition separate from your 32gb primary area, this is where the system files are stored, and its rather small. Thus you ran out of disk space because you already have a launcher installed. I am planning on making a release this weekend and doing something to avoid that error by making the backup in a different area so the system partition doesn't run out of disk space, because while this new message is rather annoying, it is now saving more people from bricking their device.

is there a app to see individual partition sizes and space left?
Found one, was kinda surprised the usual commands I use in Linux don't seem to work on emmc. I don't think this has the capabilities to edit partitions on your kindle because i never got a root prompt, but if it does, do NOT under any circumstances try to modify your partitions, it will hard brick the kindle.

how much space do you need to install it?
My fix needs around 64 mb after backup and copying the new fix over. I will release a version this weekend that doesn't need near as much space because I'll be rerouting it to /data/local.
