Of course, this is an issue, and of course, this has been discussed several times on the forum.
Do a search before you start a new topic!
You will find your internal sd-card on mnt/emmc...

[Q] motorola milestone problem with cyanogen mod 7

hi every one
i have moto milestone and rooted it , downloaded the cyanogen mod 7 and flashed it successfully" after wiping all cash dalvik and data partitions" and it worked in excellent manner but after installing a lot of apps and games and for some reason rebooted " or may be shut it down or even the battery was empty" and tried to restart the problem happened !
it starts normally for 2 or 3 minutes and prepares the sd card and starts force close/wait/report msg with the adw launcher and then stuck freezes and stop responding completely .
restarting by removing the battery for several times with now result!
wiping the data partition was the only solution but on account of removing all my installed apps!
tried backing the nandroid backup with all my apps installed and restoring it and no hope!
tried alot of other launchers like adw launcher ex , crazy home , regina launcher and miui and samsung pure breez some of them had the same problem and crazy home and i91 home struggled a little bit so i thought it was the launcher problem but after 2 or 3 days they have the same problem and the phone got freeze after every restart or power up
i am very sorry for very long description but only to let u know my problem entirely so what to do ? what is the problem and how to fix?
is this is due to the large no of apps or due to gapps installation or what?
help pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez

Are you sure you're not running out of space on /data partition?

sorry pleez tell how to know as iam new to android system but if u r meaning the internal storage space no for sure as i set the installation destination in the cyanogen settings to external and all of them on the sd card !
if this is not what u mean pleez help !

another notice is that the phone works excellent if i removed the sd card !!!!!
so may it be because of the large no of apps or as u said before about data partition which iam waiting for u to explain pleez !

backup and delete .android_secure folder from sd card and see for yourself if the apps are the problem.

here it goes !
i deleted this folder .android_secure and powered it and worked snappy and no any issues so great but all the apps didn't appear and the manage applications shows them as unavailable on the sd card icon without there icons and the displayed size is the data and not the apps size after moving them
so hence the problem is the apps large amount of data or large no or some thing like that !
so what?
what is the problem & how to solve?
does any body faced this?
what is the max no of apps and games u have?
or what wrong setting or hack i don't know?
plz helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllp

Its no good moving many apps to sd card... specially your launcher. If you do really want to do it, i strongly suggest you to partition your sd card via OR and add an ext4 partition.
Please refer to OR thread on how to do it if you are not aware of it.
One huge tip is after creating this ext4 partition, install S2E from market and READ the instructions.

The Milestone port of CM7 is not official, so there are bound to be issues. Under the assumption that it is not the ROM's fault, I suggest trying a different SD card. I highly suspect that it is just the ported ROM's compatibility issues, but you may still want to check the SD card to eliminate the possibility of your external storage being at fault.

you need a ext4 partition on your sd card and an app which enables you moving apps to sd like "link2sd", "s2e" or similar. And you need to root your phone.
Look a bit around in the ace section here on xda and youll find everything you need

addition : if you a user-type that like to remove your sdcard, better to use link2sd instead of any type extended-internal memory

Just switch off your phone before removing sd card.
I won't give up. I'll wait for you.

you must create ext3 or ext4 primary partition on your sdcard. to create partition, install mini tool partition wizard to your pc. then you can use link2sd to link dalvik caches to your sdcard. or, if you use cm7 as your rom, you can install s2e. to remove system apps, use link2sd

Are you linking the apk, dex and lib files or just installing (moving) apps to sd? You should create link to free up your internal space.
Take it from my experience. I used stocklite for almost 5 months with link2sd. Linked all apps except for those with widgets or that i needed at boot left on internal. 80 apps, 50 mb free on internal.
If you change to cyanogenmod you won't have more internal space, same space, different rom. When you do the required wipes with cwm (which you should to install cyano roms) it will format and erase the partition. You'll still have your partitioned sd card, but all info in that partition will be gone.

I installed Cyno Mod 7 ROM and it works just fine and i have partitioned again and everything is fine now..but i backuped my stocklite and i dont have the original ROM which i used even before rooting how to get that 'the real one which i had when i bought the phone?' if i have that one ..i can change it to anytime when i want..

Carrier specific roms are harder to find than free roms. Go to sammobile and check if they have the rom that came with your phone.
The stock roms are all installed through your computer with odin and your phone in download mode.

Are you rooted ? if so, use es file explorer (may work on other root explorers?) and go to settings, then select file settings, then tick "show hidden files"
now, look for a folder called trash1000 inside this will be all the files you have deleted, delete that folder and reboot and you should regain some space.
this happened to me the other week, i had 0 files on the sd card, but upto 9gb of deleted files inside this folder, roms that id deleted months ago.
also, throw in a format for good measure too just make sure to backup anything you want to keep !

I am currently on ultimate n7000 4.1.2 jb rom but i have also tried changing different roms just to find out if there is something wrong with this rom ... but nothing worked for me ...
I installed es file manager and i went into settings and did how you said .. i checked on show hidden files but i couldnt find that folder bro ...
Do you have any idea now whats wrong with it ....
Thanks

And id i try to delete something from the file manager ... it is not letting me delete anything as well ...

To delete system files, make sure that files are mounted as R+W (read+write) & R/O (read-only)..in ES explorer, you can see this on the right top..once mounted as R+W, you should be able to delete..

Not your card . I had this crap with the jb roms
Need to wipe the odex file of offending app. The one you try ,like galley,in my case,which gives you the message
Sent from the man hiding in your attic......

Why if you are having a problem, the first thing you think of is flashing roms and kernels ?
It's like buying a new car if your shoe doesn't fit snugly to your foot..
If you get these error messages one of three conditions might be true :
1. Your memory is read only....
2. The partition you are writing to is full.
3. It is trying to install to a non existing path.
So a logical approach would be to first determine which one of these cases is
causing your problem, and then take appropriate action..

Can you please tell how do i wipe that ... ?? Because i am actually fed up of it now and i need some solution ... actually i have this another application with which i can actually see the pics but i dunno why not from the orignal application

I got a solution... :thumbup: i was on rr v3... below mention things i did to work it normal again now no problem at all
1. Wipe data from recovery
2. Using pc odin i flashed ginger bread and 16 gb pit file.
3. Stay 15 min on ginger bread
4. Flash 4.0.4 using pc odin
5. Rooted hydracore kernal
6. Wipe all data.
7.flash jelly bean stock deodex rom ( which i make my own).
8. Flash new xxls7 philiz kernal
All work fine now n much smother than before.

[Q] Memory swap possible?

Is it possible to have a memory swap in our device? I do have a GT-i9305T flashed the latest sentinelROM 5.0 and tried all those memory swap (internal storage to external storage) that I've google but without a luck none of them is working and all I've searched were for s3 devices but still no luck. Anyone here already done this thing since I wanted to install many HD games as 16gb is not enough? Hope someone knew the answer as I badly need this one, been searching for a couple of hours now :-/. TIA

I use an app called "FolderMount" to move the files from an app to the external sd card. You only need root, I didn't use any memory swap mode. Try this app, it works fine on my s3 i9300 4.3 omega rom

great thank you for pointing it out, will note this one as I've already switch back to a stock rom just to try out @mattiadj memory swapping solution and it works great. Anyways thank you for taking your time answering my query as I've appreciated it a lot but still I'm open with any further solution with this problem if anyone knows. Thanks again
