Ima noob andwhen iinstalled cm7on TP i installed ittwice ontop ofitself with Acme installer. nowi onlyhave 6gb freeon sdcard. Howcan ideleate one of thepartitions tofree upspace?
if it was already installed all th files should have been detected and no duplicates made. I think that amount of free space is about right. Do you have any movie or mp3 or other large files on the webOS side? And you do have the 16gig right?
I donthave any mediafiles loaded, ihad 10gb freebefor 2nd installthen ittook away another 4 gb
Try an uninstall, then reinstall of Cm7 to see if any additional space is viewable. Performing a full touchpad restore would work, but you may have to hold off until you can get instructions on how to view/change partitions on the touchpad.
Any instructions on how to uninstall cm7
use ACMEUninstall instructions are posted in the install CM7 thread

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, since I'm a new user I am only allowed to post in general :-(
To make a long story short, skip to the question at the end of this post ;-)
So I have an a101 16gb and I have installed Urukdroid0.7 on my internl storage. I installed the google market app, done the google market cache and framework data bit. Google market runs and I seem to get a complete list of applications.
When I try to install an application I get an error message that says i do not have enought room to install the app. I've done some research and it seems that you can not have a partition larger than 2gb, fine.
When installing Uruk on an SDcard it creates 3 partitions, p1 512mb, p2 1gb, and p3 what evers left over.
I have installed Uruk on my internal storage and my partitions are p1 5gb, p2 512mb, and p3 whatevers left.
I'm thinking the 5gb partition is stock android, then 512mb partiton for Uruk system, but then the third partition should be <2gb right?
Since Uruk is installed on my internal storage, to make google market work how should I partition my internal storage, p1 5gb (stock android), p2 512mb (Uruk System), p3 <2gb (app storage for google market), p4 everything else?
I read in the urukdroid thread that its a known problem, just wait for urukdroid 1.0 ( probably release in a week - or maybe even faster )
Or you can pm sauron
solved
So it turns out my partion was actually to small. After several tries here what I ended up with- p1 <2gb (2047), p2 <2gb (2047), and p3 everything else. Now the google market app works in both stock android and uruk.
I had a hard time finding this information and I'm not a unix guy at all so fyi-
If you plan to do any droid dev you might as well get a copy of ubuntu. I downloaded the windows installer from ubuntu.org. Its cool, it runs in windows and creates a side by side installation of ubuntu and sets up all the multiboot stuff for you. Once ubuntu is installed go to the apps menu and open the software center. Search for gparted and install. Boot your tablet and go to the recovery menu. From there pick restore/repair. Then turn on the usb. Conect your tablet to your pc and ubuntu will mount the partitions in your tablet. Open gparted (you fine it in the system/admin menu). Select yout device. my machine has only one hard drive so my tablet was device 2. Unmount all of the partiions in the device. To do this just right click on the partition and select unmount. Once you have unmounted all the partitions you can rigth click on each to get resize/remove, delete, etc options.
Have fun. Oh and of course just because this worked for me doesnt mean it will work for you and you assume all responability if you brick your device ;-)
Thats a good tip. When you have your 10 post that in the Uruk thread.
I had some questions about uruk too and the forum wouldn't let me post there.
The same case here ... I have some troubles posting in dev topic ...
Yeah I hope it helps somebody and Ill post in again as soon as Im able.
Thanks
I just hope $aur0n takes his time and resolves the hang issue (I've been following the dev threads). I'd rather wait and get a stable 1.0 release than a buggy one...
He and the others are doing an amazing job in putting it all together. Keep going!
Guess Ive got lucky, 0.7 has been very stable for me. Eagerly awaiting 1.0
Hi,
I am new here and did my best searching but couldn;t find a conclusive answer so i just need some suggestions about a way forward.
So far using Froyo's move to SD implementation I have managed to gain some space on the phone for more apps but i am still running out. I also have to use the slow Apps 2 SD application.
So my problem is I want more space for apps. Using adb, setting the install location to SD card helps provide some more but i have hit that limit too.
So, from what i've read so far, there is another symbolic link based method, that creates a partition on the SD card and then the phone appears to think its still on the phone.
I have a stock ROM and would prefer not having a custom ROM for now. What would be the suggested way of getting Apps2sdext functionality? I mean like installing a package after rooting.
I have read about rooting, and apps2sdext also seems to need root. But i'd really appreciate if somebody could drop some links as to what I could do. Here are my thoughts of what they might be:
Root phone
Format SD card with partitions
Install a2sd
Another question: is there no way of using Gparted, etc to resize partitions and create the ext4 partition on pc? As in before taking it to the phone? that way no need to reinstall some apps.
Ok so for now I see I can use Z4Root to root my phone. So i've sorted that part out.
I also saw on DarkTremor apps2sd page that stock roms need a custom init.rc. Where are the instructions for that?

I'm not quite sure. I'm not an A2SD user. But, here are my hunches/ideas/opinions:
I suggest you partition with the partitioner in the recovery image. A2SD may have trouble finding the ext partition when the layout is quite different from what it expects, though I'm not quite sure.
As for not having to reinstall apps, this is what I did prior to installing A2SD:
Move all apps to phone memory
Backup
Partition SD
Flash A2SD
Install A2SD (yes, I had to manually launch a2sd scripts --')
Done
Works as intended, but I've found that there wasn't a significant increase in free phone memory storage, but I'm very sure a2sd was applied.
So I went back to native A2SD.
Which leads me to say: I suggest flashing a custom ROM with A2SD integrated
Idk, maybe I just didn't give A2SD some time. Just try it out.
Hmmm interesting! Still digging up more info as i go along...
Ok so far I installed, z4root and it installs fine and does the whole root and restart thing.
Now when i browse from adb shell i still get the $ prompt and not the # prompt. But when i go into z4root it provides options for re-root and un-root...
UPDATE: well i found out that once the shell opens as $, you type su. When you do that look at your phone and accept the superuser request, otherwise permission denied appears on the pc screen. now i have the # prompt!!!
UPDATE: Got Clockworkmod running now! and exploring a2sd... i give up. cannot find a concise thing that says here's the script that you use after doing the clockworkmod. what do i do???
Hi,I came from megatron rom and is using CM7 rom now.Not sure partitioning of sd card work on stock rom but you can try.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone! Below is what I did.
Instructions: Download DarkTremor Apps2sd.zip file.
Then,Backup all your sd card contents on your PC.You MUST backup as partitioning of sd card will wipe the whole sd card.
Reboot in recovery and select partition sd card > Partition sd card again> Swap Size:Choose 0 (I'm not sure what the other numbers will do.) > Then 512mb for the next option.Then it will start partitioning. > After you're done,upgrade ext.2 to ext.3 > Then upgrade ext.3 to ext.4 > After that,connect usb or take out sd card and put DarkTremor apps2sd.zip file in the root of your sd card and then flash it!
DONE AND PROFIT!
Your internal storage should decrease very slowly because your apps are now 'tricked' into being installed on your sd card Hope this helps!
Sorted my problem out!!
Gonna post details asap! So excited

So you did my method or what?
Nope actually not. Found a simpler method that's easier for noobs.
So here goes in very short since I don't have links
1. Split memory card into two partitions. I used 1GB. I did the partitioning on Ubuntu as it was much easier to just resize the partition using gparted. I am not sure what file systems are supported for the apps but i used ext3 for the 1GB. Backup should not be necessary but you are welcome to be careful
2. Root phone with z4root, very straightforward process
3. Install Link2SD from Android Market.
4. Once its installed, it'll prob ask for root permissions. Grant them.
5. Open Link2SD and in the list, one by one for each app you'd like to move, select and it opens a page with some details. Just click on create link, and in the next page an option for moving cache also shows. Select that too. Then the app gets moved in the background and slowly your space starts increasing.
6. I did not move any preinstalled apps that came with the phone. Just moving the apps I installed gave me plenty of space not to worry with App 2 SD (froyo method) or anything. Also with this method, mounting for USB Mass Storage also gets quicker.
What's there not to line?
Always do a nandroid backup! I didn't as i didn't think much of an app.. my phone went into continued android logo loop. After several tries of battery pull,I managed to get into the phone but many of my apps went missing.. sighz...

Just curious, on a scale of 10 how hard is it to get cm7 onto your optimistic? And any clue whether existing settings are lost? Any other benefits? And features missing? It would be nice if we either got more battery life or better performance if not both

I use a stock ROM (2.2.1) and I have rooted and installed "Move2SD Enabler" from the market and moved all the apps to SD (except for widgets) in the plain simple old fashion. I currently have over 150 apps installed with about 90MBytes of internal memory free.
Hi, i have been searching but have been unable to find some answers..
Completely new to this,before i start.
I installed urukdroid 1.5 using the easy install method on my archos 101.
1. When using urukdroid it is so slow and unresponsive, from what i have read this is probably because i have a slow cheap sd card, sound about right??
2. So if i want to uninstall ud from my card am i best using the recovery menu option (and would that just wipe all my stuff) or (as i saw in a different post) format the sd card on a pc and copy my stuff back on to it?? unsure of what is actually on the card and whats on the archos as far as uninstall goes. and what happens to the partitions
2.1. Secondly, why do people put ud on a sd card instead of the internal memory? (remember noob alert!!) it seems like you limit yourself to only using one sd card and the possibility of it running really slow.
3. So if i want to put it on my internal memory - should i do it? what are the pitfalls? will it wipe all my data like it did on the sd card? (lucky i took a backup eh!)
4. And, last question, i promise, is urukdroid really that much faster once you overclock and get it all running nicely?? for example i tried to run shadow gun on the stock 101 and it tried hard but didnt quite get there, would this run ok under ud? or am i completely missing the point of ud (very possible)
Thank you all for any help/answers.

I also just installed Uruk 1.5 on my A70 last night and have updated to 1.6RC2 then 1.6RC4. I used advanced install and let it do its thing to install to internal memory. I can see maybe a slight improvement over the stock ROM but I now have a problem where I can't install any apps due to lack of space. This method did not wipe all my data and while still on 1.5 I was able to find my backed up apps and re-installed a few. You will still have your original ROM to fall back on. Unfortunately I have a feeling that anyone knowledgeable will not be reading these posts and newbies cant post in the developer's thread where the meat of the conversation is taking place. Maybe we'll get lucky.
Hi,
Yes i agree, anyone who would know the answers prob doesnt read these. Is it possible to bump it up a bit in anyway??
Lee...
1. If you don't have a verrrry fast sd card ii is alot slower then internal, esp. as the controller is also slower on sd then on the internal .
2. If you remove the sd card, and flash the Urukdroid initram and zimage you can install everything on internal.
The easyinstaller allwas to resize your internal memory so that the original Android and Data stays intact.
2.1. UrukDroid started on sd because it is easier to not do something wrong instead on the internal. Since 0.7 it is stable eough to allways go to internal.
3. Yes internal is the best way, and for erasing read 2.
4. No it is not much faster, how could it be?
Std archos runs with 1GHz and Uruk sometimes up to 1.2GHz ( most of us can't get over 1.1 ) so to be able to play really demanding games it is the wrong tablet.
And yes you are completely missing the point.
UD and every ROM for other devices are there to give you more freedom, like root or the way bigger appspace ( std archos has 300MB ), OS upgrade ( when CM7 or CM9 are done for ex) or other designes ( like MIUI).
My A70 runs much better since I changed to Urukdroid. Less laggy and generally faster. Very few crashes. The ext4 filesytem is much faster than Fat32 and I think that compcache and swap also help a lot.
Don.
Hi Fzelle,
Thanks for your help, cleared stuff up.
Like i said, i thought i might be missing the point of it, i did wonder how much difference overclocking it to 1.2Ghz and the UD system would make. but i can see the point of having a bigger app area, i had the warning of running out of space.
Just to check though, to uninstall it from my sd card you said see 2. but it wasnt clear what that meant. should i go to the recovery boot screen and delete it there or just format my sd card? and i have now got a rootfs.img on my internal storage, is this normal??
Thanks again.
Cheers Lee...
Rootfs.img comes from the SDE installation, as you have installed Angstrom Linux with that.
If you don't plan to use that, you can erase that or save it to your computer.
If you shut down the tab and remove the sd, install the zimage and initram of uruk you will be asked to install again.
Use advanced and install on internal.
I just purchased a nook 16gb tablet and want to replace the nook software with cm7. I have been reading and there are so many different methods I'm not sure what to do. Can someone point me in the right direction? It has 1.4.2 on it and I want to completely replace it with cm7. No need for the nook software.
1.) Make bootable CWM recovery SD card, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446987
2.) Download CM7 internal version, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481826
3.) Download latest gApps, found here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps
4.) Place the CM7 zip and the gApps zip on My NOOK internal memory (mnt/media partition).
5.) Boot into your CWM SD card (plugging into the charger may be necessary to get it to boot from SD).
6.) Wipe dalvik cache
Factory reset
Install the CM7 ROM from internal SD card
Install gApps from internal SD card
Reboot
7.) Enjoy!
Thanks for the detailed answer. Will this give me access to more than 1gb of space or do I need to repartition the memory as well?

You will still need to partition. If you live near a bn store you could have them do it for you since you haven't changed anything yet, but it isn't that difficult to do yourself.

Note: having B&N do it will give you less space to use than if you do it yourself.
I used the repart.img from the bn 1.42 factory recovery to get 8 gb. Is there an easy way to get more space?
Here is the way to choose how much storage you want divided between partitions. Just folllow the directions and you should be okay.

Yes, you should be able to get the partitions back to factory stock if necessary. However, many people have used this method without trouble, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I know it seems daunting but if you follow the steps exactly and execute the commands as shown, you'll be just fine.
Well so far I have cm7 installed with 8 gb of usable space and haven't had any problems. Thanks for the info and reassurance. I will try to repartition it again after work.
I notice everyone seems to be running cm9. This tablet is mainly going to be used by my daughter to read books, play games, and watch side loaded video. Is the current build sufficient for that or should I wait for a later one?

If I were you, I'd stick with CM7 for now, at least until the devs publish a release candidate with the 3.0x kernel.
For what your daughter is planning to do, CM7 will fit the bill nicely; the only thing to be aware of is WiFi hangups -- you need to show her how to turn the WiFi off before turning the screen off, or show her how to reboot the tablet.

Steve

Everyone is definitely not running cm9, as of a few weeks ago, according to my poll here.
With that said, unless your daughter plans on using Netflix/higher end games, I'd check out CM9. The CM9 .04 version is extremely stable aside from hardware acceleration.
I was referring to the people responding to my questions based on their signatures. I will have to check it out. She won't be playing any high end games.
I installed cm9 and gapps then repartitioned the internal memory. Everything seemed to go fine but I can't see the internal memory from my pc. Unless I have an sd card mounted it doesn't even give me the option to turn on usb storage. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
For rock solid stability, since it would be used by your daughter, stick to stock firmware, root and install gapps via memory card the img file and apps are posted in relevant thread in development section for rooting 1.4.2. than install a launcher of your choice i prefer holo launcher as it gives the ics feel. All other builds cm7 and cm9 are battery suckers.
All roms dont support micro sd and internal memory together Stick to stock firmware. Try disabling adb debugging mode to enable usb file transfer.
I guess if i would open my eyes I would have noticed it is listed as a known cm9 problem. I really like the look of cm9 but think I'm gonna have to wait till they get a few more things working. I never really considered stock with another launcher. I may play around with that a bit and see what I like. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hello!
I have a S3. 16 gb, a 32gb microSD card. It's less than 1.5 years old. I've gone from the original 4.1 to aa Custom ROM, and 2 versions of Cyanogenmod. Currently 4.4.2.
I can't sync my GMAIL - it says not enough space, I can't install any updates to APKs. In fact I noticed outgoing emails have not been sent.
Each time I've upgraded my roms, I have wiped the internal memory as per the instructions. I use TWRP.
I have everything backed up via Titanium BU.
What is the best way to free up space?
What I think happened, is when I installed a new rom, those old files, APKs etc were still on the 16gb. I do not have a lot of apps on the Galaxy, in fact only a small subset of the apps I have on my back-up. No games. My videos are on the external drive, and only a modest amount of photos.
What would be the steps I need to take, to wipe everything off the internal memory, install the latest Cyanogen mod, then selectively restore my daily apps. I'd like to keep my pictures and dropbox folder, but anything else I can start from scratch.
If this were Windows, I'd know how to clean things out. I even plugged the S3 to my computer to try and free some space, but I'm not really sure about what can be safely deleted.
Any advice would be appreciated. I'm kind of stuck in the water not being ably to update, or do much at this point.
Thanks
Maxi
Go to custom recovery e.g Philz, format for a new firmware (make sure you have one ready to go on the external sd) then format the internal storage/emulated/0.
This will remove all legacy data from previous roms.
