This is an ongoing problem for me and it's definitely not ROM related, but it makes flashing ROM's difficult, in fact downright awkward!
When installing apps from TB it will get through a couple then reboot, at which point nothing will install until I repair my ext partition (Thank God for AmonRA!). Then it will do the same thing again. It will do the same thing with installing apps from the market too, but it's not so pronounced as I don't tend to install loads of apps at once especially as I've got TB.
I found that TB worked fine with CM7 as it didn't install to the ext partition until I flashed DarkTremors aps2sd, and that worked fine as a way round the problem.
None of this happened until I upgraded my 8Gb to 16Gb sd card. The card seems fine in every respect, just the problem with installing aps :-(
Anyone with any ideas?
My previous thread on disabling aps2sd has not proved fruitful either.

Before I upgraded my pathetic 2gb I done a little research and the word on the street was the hero couldn't handle more than 8gb, recommended by HTC apparently!
Whether this was due to the limitations of the rom(1.6 at the time) or the hardware I don't know.
Have you tried re-formatting your SD card and making sure the ext partion is compatible with the rom your using?

Yeah I've reformatted and reformatted, initially I thought that the problem mgiht have been the backup files had become corrupt when transfering them over ... and yes I've tried ext2 ext3 and ext4 all with the same results (the only rom i tried which wasn't compatible with ext4 was Cronos).
Maybe its true about 8gb being the limit the hero can handle, maybe someone else can confirm or deny.
I'm sure I've seen some on here using 16Gb cards, but it would be good to know, maybe I should change to the Froyo aps2sd?
Maybe you could try doing a nandroid backup, and trying a different rom to see if it works, if not you could have a faulty SD card???
I a, using a 16 Gb card without problems, I always do a full wipe of my phone and a format of my card before flashing a new Rom. I use the aps2sc within the rom and make sure that the settings are right (install to external) before I use titanium.
I am on elelinux 6.2.0

The max htc Hero should handle would be 32gb I believe. According to link 1, htc hero supports SD 2.0. While SD 2.0 is also called SDHC, which according to link 2 its max is 32gb
Maybe you should try to pull /proc/last_kmsg to see why it rebooted? (post it at pastebin.org, and place url here. Maybe we can understand it )

Yeah I'm really confused as those were my settings also and I tried in on Elelinux 6.2 ... I think it must be either my Hero had a bad day it was born or the sd card did, but it always comes up clean when scanned.

16gb card here, use TB all the time and nadroid as well and never had a problem. Maybe your card has some faulty sectors. Try to copy 16gb on it on the PC and copy it back to your pc after you've made sure nothing was cached. Or try scandisk to see if a part of the flash is broken, maybe.
Using a cheap ebay-bought Team 16GB Class6 with TB, flashing and nandroids. No issues whatsoever. Works great!
I've scanned the disk multiple times, not tried a full 16gb transfer ... and I'll get the log output in a minute or two
output of /proc/last_kmsg

Thanks in advance!
Edit: It got to installing around 15apps this time before crashing. It varies as to when it dies, but it will. I even considered that it was overheating, or due to OC'ing, but it does the same thing regardless of temp or CPU speed
i also use 16gb sd card for 3 or 4 months and nothing ever happens like that. everything works perfect...
Have a feeling that it's corrupt, as I have a new problem with installing anything, I now get told there's not enough room to install or updates apps ... when there's plenty ... arrrgggg!
if 16gb isn't working for you, send the card to me. I have a working 2gb you can have instead.

Haha that's really funny.
Actually I ran some scans, fsck's and reformats with repair options, and if it wasn't for the reboot issue and instability issues I have with Elelinux 7.0.3 then I'm sure I've got it fixed... I hope ...

Hi Folks,
So I installed Redpill and sure enough the ex SD was swapped to internal giving me 32gb memory so I started downloading my stuff onto it bit now any updates or any new apps will not download to it even though there is still 19gb left on it instead it seems to be trying to download to the original internal memory which is full.
this issue is such a pain for such a great phone
please help

Nothing
You really can't expect to be able to do that without a hitch. Check out directory bind. It's not perfect either but it seems more reliable than swapping the whole sd card with internal

Why not?? ... it was working perfectly at 1st now nothing
memory swap not happening
Dear all,
I have the redpill kernell installed in my note2.
The memorycard I use is a fat32 64GB Sandisk(fresly formatted in my device and checked on a pc).
After use the settings in misc with fat 32 and a reboot nothing happens.
When checking, there are no changes.
Also not when checking with total commander.
What am I doing wrong here.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi all. Im writing here to help others who might be having the same issue I was having with full internal storage. I had plently of storage then I rooted and ran a few roms and suddenly I had no internal storage left. I searched and searched and finally figured out the problem. Im no stranger to rooting and running roms and custom recovery. But I am new at using cl ockwork mod recovery. All my old recoveries that ive used when making a nandroid backup they store the backup to sd card by default. Well as I found out not clockwork mod.it must be specified with cwm. Otherwise it goes to the internal memory of your device by default. As I soon found out. My four backups filled my internal storage full. Which once I realized what happened I deleted my backups and my internal storage came back. from now on I must specifically direct the backup to the sd card. Im writing this to possibly help someone else who might be in the same situation as I was. Hope this helps someone. I was used to my backups automatically going to my sd card so I assumed that cwm also directly sent them to sd. I was wrong. So if your suddenly faced with a internal storage issue you didn't have before and your using cwm, its likely your backups are being sent to internal storage unless otherwise specified. Just thought this could possibly help someone else out in the future. I should have paid closer attention to exactly where my backups were being stored but its never been an issue with my other recoveries so I didn't even think it would be sent to internal storage. I really hope this thread helps someone else out. Thanks for reading.
I saw the title and was going to suggest moving the Backups folder to extSdCard card in TiBu, in addition to flashing Nandroids to extSdCard card.
Then I read your post
Good suggestion.
Will definitely help many :good:
When I used to use TWRP, I always back'd up to extSdCard, especially with some of these back ups being around 2.5GB.
I miss the 32GB of internal my S3 had, but my 64GB card picks up the slack.
I actually have about 8GB left on my Internal. I was having to wipe internal often due to previous freezing issues, which have since been resolved, so I kept everything on extSdCard. I gotta get back in the habit of utilizing device storage again.

It took a bit for me to figure out what was actually going on. I had about 4 backups to internal storage. It was so full I was getting messages that my voicemail will no longer be saved. Glad I got it figured out. Now I have plenty of room avaiable. I do hope this post helps someone else.
I am rooted, running Negalite WondeROM v2. Stock kernel. Half the time, when I boot, the contents of my SD card dont show up. I get the gray squares, and when i try to open apps that are on my card, it says that they are not installed, or that I need to download the additional data(which I have already downloaded). Hot boot fixes it. And it doesn't happen all the time. Today, I was trying to update a game I purchased from the Play store, and I keep getting a message saying that I have insufficient external storage space. I have over 9Gb left on a 16Gb card. I used the Android applucation manager to move my apps to external SD, and not an app or anything. I have unmounted, removed, re-inserted and re-mounted my SD card, and the problem is unchanged. My internal storage is close to full, if that makes any difference. I have downloaded an SD fixer app, but when I opened it, it said that my SD was already writeable. Any input or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: making 5Gb space on INTERNAL storage seems to have solved the problem. Sorry for wasting everyone's time. Mods please close thread, OP a jackass.
Edit 2: nope, problem persists. Anyone have any sugestions?
I have a galaxy s3 clearly.
Trying tofind out where the 4gb that are taken up in my phone and how to free up some space.... i dont have any music or anything installed... wondering if it was previous back ups that are hiding and cannot find where they may be located. i deleted CWMR and rom manager hoping they would go with it. Also installed TWRP instead but have not made any more backups.... any ideas? Currently running bliss stalk rom and gapps.
Many s3 in Canada shipped with 16 GB of internal memory. Once formatted, the amount of usuable space actually goes down. Once you install an ROM and apps, this space foes down even more. You will never have 16 GB of internal memory on a 16 GB s3.
i realize that, but it didnt take up 4gb before which isnt a huge deal but i just wanna know where that space is kept. i deleted all my CWM stuff hopeing any saved backups would be deleted but it didnt show a big increase it space so im wondering if they could be storeed elsewhere and where that place may be lol.
You deleted clockwork mod directory?
