my screenshots as proof in attachment!
added screenshots with english language
Requirements:
Root/Unlocked bootloader
custom recovery
-this tutorial only shows you how to install fresh version of CM 7.2 with Gapps and bigger internal storage
TESTED ON CM 7.2 AND HENSE MOD 4
other roms need testing...
This tutorial is made and tested by me on my rooted WFS​First step:Backup your apps and settings with Titanium Backup, Make a nandroid backup and also save your whole content of SD card!
Let´s go:
1.Use POWER+HOLD DOWN to start BOOTLOADER and choose RECOVERY
2.Choose wipe data/factory reset
3.wipe cache partition
4.Advanced->Wipe dalvik cache
5.Ok,let´s go to increase internal memory size
6.Choose Advanced->Partition SD card
7.Choose new size of IM(Internal Memory),what you want (max 2GB), size depends of size your SD card, e.g I have 2GB sd card so I used only 512MB( new size of SD card is now 2GB-512MB=1,5GB)
8.In next step choose OM
9.Choose Mounts and storage->mount USB storage
10.Copy files from attachment to sd card(download CM 7.2 :here)original data2sd http://www.mediafire.com/?757066a1516tdkt
11.Now go back and choose Install zip from sdcard->choose zip from sdcard
12.Choose CM 7.2 file ,start installing
13.Next step we need to install Data2SD,which we have on SD card,so install it
14.Finally we install Gapps
15.Reboot phone
16.Restore apps from Titanium Backup
Screenshots from my phone in attachment
Enjoy it.

IF YOU LIKE THIS TUTORIAL,SAY THANKS ​

please test it on stock and does i need to partition my sd card before doing all this or will it do it automatically. ( btw i have a 2gb ext2 partition with link2sd )

hellnoob:you dont need to make partition before this tut like for link2sd,you will create it in recovery so delete partition for link2sd and start with clear(like with new ) Sd card

can i use both link2sd and data2sd then by keeping my ext2 partition and making a new one through recovery for data2sd??

its not necessary,to keeping ext2,because data2sd does everything instead link2sd,so data2sd is better in my opinion,
after this tutorial people are using link2sd only for deleting and uninstalling system apps, but for this activity is best Root Uninstaller

It says the data2sd zip is corrupted n doesnt let me copy it to my SD card also!

^^ yes cant even extract it

This is the original link by Jikantaru for the Data2sd installer!

Hope it helps!

You say "CWM", but don't you mean CM 7 ?
CWM = ClockWorkMod
CM = CyanogenMod ...

Internal memory low

Hi, Im running MIUI v4 and when I go to App Manager It says I have about 54MB left in my internal storage. However, When I try to download Skype (about 25MB) It says that my internal storage is full. I'm not sure if thats a system bug or it's not showing my internal storage correctly? Any ides on this?

It Does.
In CWM partition your SD card to ext4 and
try ex2int --> put it to init.d folder in rom package and reflash your phone. After restart and reboot you will have a space from sd card on your phone.

One question. I understand I have to reflash ROM for this but can I use a backup to restore it after wipe so I dont't have to install everything all over again, Or I must reflash NEW ROM?

Use odex version.

sorry bro was not able to get you earlier
u mean you have a rom zip on your internal in that case just enter recovery and hope u have rooted and stuff
Switch of your device press Vol up+home+power all at the same time and leave the power button once you see the samsung logo
now in recovery wipe data factory/cache/dalvik cahe and you are good to proceed flashing if you have an external sd then keep your zip in ext sd and do full wipe which will wipe your internal sd as well but not the external so if u have an external sd you can do a full wipe else just do the steps mentioned it will be fine
and if you have stock rom it is flashable via mobile odin please read this thread to understand everything http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696

Really appriciate it. I am already runing on custom rom. I also have a new custom rom .zip file on internal sd (don't have ext. sd card) I change many roms, so I have a lot of unnecessary stuff in data. I would like to delete everything and then install new custom rom .zip file.
I am afraid of loosing new custom rom .zip file, twrp,... Is it possible to do it or I have to flash stock rom and then do the simple factory reset in settings?
Thanks

hi again. I guess I am not for this tech stuff
I have done this (or i think) I still have a lot of unnecessary folders. I installed new custom rom now. I am going to stick with it, but I still want to delete everything except rom that I am running on and other important stuff that makes this phone run.
Another help would be much apriciated. (step by step if possible)

It seems u want to get rid of all uneccesary junk so thats possible to be removed only if you do full wipe thats is u even have to wipe system that will delete everything of the last rom and even in internal but after that u need to mount ur storage from recovery and then transfer the zip of your rom and flash it .so u need to be sure that your recovery is able to mount internal sd , I blv I hv posted a super wipe link so u can even flash that that will erase evrything u wish to but mounting of card shd work to let u transfer the file of rom zip or the safest get a ext sd transfer the rom zip and after clean wipe install zip from external sd.
If your mount sd is working first try and check that connect ur phn to pc via usb and in recovery select mount sd if it shows then you are good to go and get what u need.
So the prob lies u want steps but I need surity if ur mount storage works if it does then just flash this file attached as I hope it has uploaded fine as I used my phn to do so .just flash the zip attached and it will wipe all on its own .mount sd transfer ur custom rom zip and selec t it to flash . U get what u want

I realy appriciate your work but still to fresh to understand. This mounting thing is driving me crazy. I will just go and buy the sd card, it's easy.
So what i could understand is that I put your posted zip file on my internal sd card and i put my custom rom zip file to external sd card. Is that 100% ok?
and when I do that, whats next? (sorry mate)

why are you so worried its a simple step
1. boot into recovery - u know how to do it
2. connect your phone to pc and now click mount and see if you find the option to mount sd as soon as u click it it will recognise the internal sd
3. thats said if it works you can move ahead - just select the flash zip u have kept in ur internal sd it will wipe everything and now u mount again and transfer the rom zip
4.you can proceed flashing the rom zip from internal sd. done!
5. if you have an ext sd card then place both wipe zip and rom zip in external and choose install zip from external sd and select wipe zip .it will run some codes on screen and everything is wiped out now the recovery will restart and now select the rom zip thats it.
note: its a simple stuff what i am trying to make u understand is that if u clean wipe then you loose all ,everything from internal storage so u need some rom zip to flash which u need in external or internal so u need to transfer that zip, if its in external it wont get wiped off so you dont need any mounting to be done.
before all do backup your efs for your safety . I hope you know that or must have gone through it.
or rather do some reading it will take an hour for you to go through everything in detail

[Q] Does restore factory setting remove the custom rom inside the internal storage ?

Hi guys, sorry this my first post and i am a total beginner in this. I am planning to flash CyanogenMod, for my xperia sl but before i do that i must delete data/ restore factory settings right ? But if i do that wont it delete the img. file in the internal storage ? , since my xperia sl has no external storage or a partition on the device named "/sdcard" .... So where should i keep the the img.file then ? I am scared that if i proceed then all my files including the CyanogenMod rom is removed then i cant flash anything ...

This will not happen.
You should indeed wipe data (and wipe cache and dalvik cache) when installing a new ROM. The data on your SD card will remain there, like your music and other stuff. Just place the *img. file in the root folder.
Good luck with flashing your new ROM :good:

Thank You

@live16: from TWRP, Backup, Storage setting, you should have a choice of Internal Storage, Micro SDcard and USB-OTG and the free space shown for those.
If you select Micro SDcard your backups should be at the top level of the SD card /TWRP/BACKUPS/'PHONEID"/...
