Hi,
I've installed the last stable CM7. The weird thing is that with it I only get 148mb of total internal memory. I was using Miui before in which I had more then 400mb of total internal memory.
Does anyone knows what's causing this and a solution to have all the memory available.
Thank you

1. What hboot are you using
2. MIUI had "400mb" internal storage, probably because you're using an sd-ext partition on your sd-card and you flashed the D2EXT version of MIUI

I have installed the revolutionary 0.93.0001 (i think) don't have the phone with me right now.
I thought that but the phone supposedly has 512mb internal storage, and 148mb seems very little memory.
Do a little reading and it will be clear why you are having this less memory where your NAND is capable of 512MB. It seems you are using stock hboot. Do you have any idea of partitioning SD card and ext partition? if yes then download s2e and activate the ext feature.

I have a ext partition on sd-card to install apps, but the problem here is the internal memory. Not all the apps can be installed on sd-card and 100mb of free space is not enough for me to install all the apps that need to be on internal memory, like widgets and so on.

Install S2E (make sure you have ext3 partition)
In the app, move "applications", "dalvik-cache" to sd-ext.
Should be enough, leave Application Data on internal memory homever, as it might have impact on performance.
Move it only if you're running out of space again.

The answer you quoted already provided you with the answer you need to get things working. CyanogenMod does not support Data2EXT out of the box. Download S2E app on the Play Store. Launch the app, check all the boxes and reboot. You should have EXT3 partition for this to work otherwise all the options on this app will b e grayed out.
CM7 doesn't see EXT4 for some reason without doing a little modification.
Ok, thank you all for your answers.
What I get from this is that miui has all of those thing you're talking builted-in. Or is cyanogen that doesn't see all the internal memory of the phone?
As I explained in the OP on cyanogen it only shows 148mb of internal memory and on miui it shows almost 500mb.

yes exactly, miui has this built in.
cyanogen won't 'see' the extra partition, but s2e will use it.
i recommend 'diskusage' app to browse your partitions.
also, don't think it has been mentioned here:
- nandroid backup
- s-off if you haven't already
- change hboot to cm7r2
- restore
lookup guides for this, will repartition your internal memory, so it goes up from 148 to 287MB, further reading on memory stuff here
Yeah, exactly what's just been mentioned. Go to alpharev.nl and download the cm7r2 hboot. Flash it and you will have 245mb free.

I think I'll try Oxygen r2 which give me 332 data memory.
Are the diferences between CM7r2 and Oxygen r2 so big?
CM7 won't fit on Oxygen hboot.

Hey everyone!
I was wondering.. can you partition your SD Card so i have more than 512mb available for installing apps? because im one of those who LOVES to have alot of stuff on my phone :b I have all the GAMELOFT games etc, and they take up alot of space! Currently i have a 4gb SDcard, but im getting a 32gig.. so i was wondering.. can i get a 2gb partition? so i have 2gigs of available space for my apps??
Also.. can someone explain me about the SWAP, and those EXT, EXT 2, EXT 3, EXT 4 and pro's and con's? or just give me a link to it, because i just cant find it
Thanks in advance..

yes
you can use gparted live cd/live usb to format the card
one thing to note though, if you have 1gb ext partition be aware that some data is still kept on the data directory of the device there fore you will run out of intenal storage before you reach your a2sd+ limit

Aww.. i thought i just could have "unlimited" apps, all i needed was a big enough SDcard? Is there any way i can transfer that data to the SDcard too?
using data2sd or data2whatever but its more complicated

I dont bother with CWM Partitioning either, since the moment one choose the partition option, the Fat32 is erased!
would it work to partition wid amonra then flash back to clockwork just to gain 1gb+ partition?
I myself have a 512 MB partition made using ROM manager. No hassle, no fuss. I'm already close to reaching low storage space warning.
My internal memory left is around 35MB while my A2SD has 57MB left. I have around 150 apps. Using Oxygen rom, froyo stable.
In my opinion, I think you should only make a 1GB partition if you use the HD sense roms. You will still run out of space in your internal memory before you even use half of your partition.
Its a hardware limitation of the Desire.

I recently installed InsertCoin's CM7 HBOOT/STOCK 1.1.1, after installing my internal memory has become really low and i only get 120mb of ram when i got 220mb on the official 2.2. I have partitioned my sd card using gparted. I made a normal fat32 and a EXT4. Do i need to make a EXT3 partition? also how would i know if the apps are on my sd card since i cannot move them manually with application manager. Please can you help me. Thanks

Go to market search quick sysktem info pro
U will notice A2SD PARTITION label under basic info
It will tell u how much used and how much free
Dont get mad of free 120 mb i have 87 app installed
All workes fine
Hope iam usefull
do i have to move the apps to the sd card with the application manager because after installing less than 15 apps i get low memory notifications, i had like 40kb internal memory. Using the System Info app i can see that my ext4/a2sd is being used.

i flashed the CM7r2 hboot from alpharev.nl by downloading the hboot, naming it PB99IMG.zip and using clockwork recovery to update the hboot. then i installed Insertcoins 1.1.2 rom.
WARNING!!!!
FLASHING A NEW HBOOT WILL MAKE YOUR OLD NANDROID BACKUP REDUNDANT, YOU CAN ONLY USE ROMS WITH CM7
Hi
I have a question regarding the available internal memory for installing new apps.
One of the main reasons i rooted my desre was to gain additional space to avoid the constant low memory space warnings.
So from my understanding, the additional space is achieved in 2 ways. Firstly using a custom hboot which gives more space to data/apps than the standard stock hboot. I've updated to alpharev cmr2 which should give me 287 internal mem.
Secondly with the use of apps2sd+ more apps should be moveable to the sd card.
So far I have flashed a miui rom and now I've got the cooleve runnymede v5 rom.
When i was using the miui rom - internal space appeared to be showing approx 400mb available. When I have flashed the coolexe rom internal space available appears as approx 120mb.
Why is there a difference between the 2?
What I want is sense 3.5 rom which will give me approx 1gig memory to install apps to without worying about space. is this possible or have all recent efforts gone to waste and I'm back at square one???
Thanks

Wipe the phone and then re-install the ROM but before rebooting it flash amarullz ADSDX script then reboot. Should get 1gb but it will take 10-20 mins on first boot so wait!

Hi,
I have rooted my desire for the same reason as mannysroot - low memory!
I have rooted with unRevoked and installed CM7. I got some more freed up internal memory as the stock HTC apps were gone. However, after installing a few apps, I again got the low memory issue!
My Titanium Backup shows:
System ROM: 262 MB (122 MB free)
Internal: 154 MB (15.8 MB free)
My queries:
1. Now, while my internal still remains a measly 154mb, I have got free space on the system rom! Can I use this for my apps?
2. Do I need to install the app2sd scripts mentioned above? Cos I already can move most of the apps to the sd card. Of course, some apps refuse to move.

Zanyguy - from my understanding, firstly you need to S-off which gives you access to write to a part of the memory which is currently locked. Once you have achieved s-off you will have access to this area. To do it - i used the revolutionary tool.
Once you've done that, you can update your hboot. Again from my understanding, updating the hboot will update the layout of internal memory. I updated to CMr2 hboot (downloaded from alpharev.nl website). What this gives in theory is 287 internal mem. The area used for storing the rom will now be a lot smaller, which will mean your stock rom ownt work. So you will need to flash a custom rom which will fit - look for the cool 3d runnymede v5 which I am currently using.
Once you've done all of that you will probably get to the same stage I'm at - whilst you've gained more memory, its not as much as expected.
You will also need to partition your sd card to have an ext4 partition. i used gparted tool for this. I allocated, 1gig for the ext4 partition, thinking that I will have 1gig to use for apps etc. However, so far this hasnt been the case, but having an ext4 partition appears to be a requirement for a number of roms.
Thanks

XD2SDX makes your ext4 partition look like internal memory, e.g 1gb ext4 will look like 1gb internal memory!
It's only for certain ROM's. It works fine in coolexe's sense 3D 3.5.
Here's the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18911182&postcount=1784
Steps:
Change your HBOOT to CM7r2 using the bootloader
Wipe all of your system using your recovery
Flash the coolsense 3.5
Flash Amarullz XD2SDX script
reboot
Wait 15-20 mins when the HTC screen appears
And follow the setup
And you're done!

You need a 1gb ext4 partition on your memory card using GParted

I followed the steps above, but I'm not sure it worked. After I installed the Darktremors script, my phone hung on the HTC boot screen. After awhile, I pulled the battery and it rebooted fine. However, I'm only showing 100 mb free. I ran Quick System Info and it appears my ext4 partition is working fine. Are there any settings I need to change? I have a Desire CDMA, does that matter?
By the sounds of it there isnt much point/advantage to apps2sd+???
I tried a newer version of the Darktremor script and the phone rebooted fine. However, I'm still at less than 100 mb free. What can I try next?

To a certain point there is. The darktremors app2sd script allows the apps to be installed on the ext partition and therefore allows you to install more apps!
Although XD2SDX is now my favourite script but you need the cm7r2 partition to use it. As you already have it, it is all good
System ROM: 262 MB (117 MB free)
Internal: 154 MB (58.9 MB free)
SD card: 14.0 GB (13.3 GB free)
SD card (a2sd): 1.55 GB (1.51 GB free)
It seems that Darktremor is working to some degree (or maybe the CM7 rom is just better). It's moving more of the app to the SD card than my stock rom did. However, it's not moving anything to the ext4 partition.
Would I be able to do the cm7r2 partition with XD2SDX and have better results?

I guess I will have to go for the partition sooner or later looking at how measly HTC has been with the internal memory! But, then I will have the guts only when I need to do it
Another thing I noticed were the number of guides now available online! Its like the information overflow problem. Just that you don't know which to go with!
Which one should I go with - in particular for turning s-off, changing hboot and partitioning sd card! Any help appreciated.

Think its only GSM you should always use Gparted, I like to stay away from recovery partition and windows partition.
Recovery partitioning is as good as partitioning with GParted. One should only be aware of programs like MiniTool Partition Wizard.
Hello, Yesterday I rooted and flashed cyanogenmod on my Desire for the first time following this perfect noob proof guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084 to the letter and its working perfectly.
I partioned the SD, got 1 GB of Ext4, as the guide did and all that, and I have had this for a day now and after a few apps I am already down to 40 MB internal memory, whats going on? Did I do something wrong?

You need to move apps and dalvik-cache to EXT4-partition or flash CM7-Hboot via fastboot if you are S-OFF.
Swiftkeyed from ICS with Transparent XDA App
Thank you for your reply but I really have no idea what that means, im a complete newbie... I followed that guide so I am S-OFF. Where is that Hboot I need to flash? Flashing that now will that remove or clear my phone?
Also I checked my phone:
a2sd:
Capacity: 0.96 GB
Used: 67 MB
Free: 0.89 GB
Clearly its in use is it? Or maybe not... :/
Could someone tell me what to do please?
Look for S2E on the Android Market. That will move your apps to your EXT4 partition. Check the selected folders that you wanna moved to the EXT4 partition. Check Applications, Private Apps and Dalvik Cache (optional but recommended if you have a fast sd card). Reboot after configuring. It will take some time to reboot since it'll be transferring your existing app to the EXT4.
Don't mess with your hboot until you fully understand what you are doing. Check http://alpharev.nl to get an idea and read the sticky on the development section for more information.
THank you so much for your reply. One quick question: If I do as you wrote, Check Applications, Private Apps and Dalvik Cache, will the future apps I install be installed to the Ext4 drive or do I need to do this every time I install new apps etc?
Also I havent messed with my Hboot, I just followed that guide, and one step was to download that alpharev cd and turn S-Off, nothing else.
Thanks again!
As long as you have Cyanogenmod set to install apps to the Internal, you'll be fine and apps will be moved to EXT4 automatically.
Go to Settings>CM7 Settings>Application>Install Location>Internal
The thing to keep in mind here is while using S2E (or any scripts that do the same) is that the EXT4 partition acts as an extension of your internal memory. Although you aren't going to see your phone's internal memory increase in size.

To make full use of your 1GB ext4 you need a Rom with data2sd , data2ext , xd2sdx. Your using app2sd+ witch dont fully move all app data to sd ext4, say you download a 20mb app 15mb would go to ext4 and the other 5mb would still be on real internal.
Using a Rom with data2ext ect put the ext4 partition has your internal storage showing you 1GB and all app data will go there.
Worked perfectly, thank you so much, now I can get more then 5 apps installed!
I dont really care about the numbers, aslong its on the ext4 and I can install the apps
Thank you for your assistance.
I'm interested in trying this too. Right now I have oxygen with darktremors installed, but would switch back to cm7 if this would give me more space for apps. If I do a nandroid backup and restore, will the apps that had been moved to the sd card be restored properly?

So the reason that my data storage is looking like this, could be because I'm running MIUI which uses A2SD not fully moving my apps?
Because I already moved everything I was able to move with s2e.
The link doesn't seem to work because I'm new: This is what it was showing:
Data: used 89 % (used 132 MB, free 15 MB)
ext: used 6 % (used 32 MB, free 440 MB)
cache used 2% ((used 1MB, free 38 MB)
Denobe, what app are you using to give you those stats? I'd like to check my system too.

The app is called FreeSpace.
I have the same problem with the Revolution 3.0
I have installed the data++ version but i am not sure ifi need to do something else with the hboot (i did the s-off but nothing else).
What could be wrong?
Thanks
My phone is rooted and running on cyanogenMod 7.2. The storage problem I am facing is immense. Have very few apps installed but still always keep getting that Low space warning. Any suggestions?

Create an ext partition on your sd card using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37383522#post37383522
Then look for an a2sd script and flash it. Then all apps you install will be automatically installed to the partition on your sd card.
Could you kindly elaborate the second step? A2sd script and flash?

Check out the "using the ext partition" section in the guide.
You should also s-off and change hboot to cm7r2 to use space more efficiently.
I believe you're still on stock hboot, so you have a lot of free space on system partition which is wasted. Change hboot will also increase upper available /data (internal memory) size.
Check everything's working correctly afterwards by installing another app like 'diskusage' to browse all your partitions.
