So, I recently recovered a brick folio 100, and used foliomod 1.4 for a few days. Then I tried installing cm9, but it simply will not work. So, I contacted a forum poster who created a thread to recover bricked folios (the solution I had used) and we tried to fix the issue. The problem is that his solution was devised for 8gb devices, mine is a 16. I was able to install honeycomb, but it seems something is messed up with the storage. The SD Card, for one, is mounted (in Astro File Manager) as USB). The Storage page shows:
MICROSD
Total 12.55GB
Available 5.66GB
INTERNAL STORAGE
Total 0.98GB
Media 6.88GB
Applications -7149256704.00B
Available 777MB
So, something must be messed up somewhere. Can anyone help, or point me in the right direction?
Bump - anyone have any pointers for this??

Hi to all from Greece...
I am facing a strange problem with my 2 months old 10.1v. Since yesterday there is a notification that the internal storage is getting low. In fact in the storage use of the apps is almost 8 Gb that cannot be true as the applications that are installed cannot be more than 500 Mb (including the cache).
I've read a relevant post in the forum that indicates a format of the sd card. I have made a backup of the apps and the data on my pc and I am wondering the best way to proceed.
Will this format affect the system on the Tab? The system apps?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you very much,
DK
P.S... by the way...how can i format the sd card? I have looked everywhere and couldn't figure out how....
Tks again
Internal space...
You internal storage is your APP (partition 10) space. When you are talking about your 8GB's free you're talking about your "SDCard" space (Partition 14). I suggest installing "File Manager HD", and browse your /data/app folder. Sort by size to see what your biggest applications are and uninstall a couple.
Reformatting your SDCard space isn't going to help here but if you do want to reload the entire thing including your SDcard (all 2-17 partitions) check out The Overcome ROM reload instructions. His install walkthrough has your completely erase everything (every partition gets reloaded) and starts everything off empty for you. (Find his ROM and website info on the "Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development" Forum).
Hope this helps...
Taran..
intalled CM7 several weeks ago - in general everything's fine, but I still can't find the answer for this problem
there's mnt/sdcard (for external microSD)
and mnt/media (seems to be a part of internal storage)
but there's no mnt/emmc or mnt/sdcard/sd_external
I can place about 450 Mb at 'mnt/media'; however file manager says that there's 11.1 Gb available of 11.9 Gb total
how can I mount the internal SD?
or should I partition it somehow first?
or is there a way to "resize" mnt/media?
Thanks in advance for any help
Check out the repartition thread in general discussion.
Seems like a lot of stuff, but its quite easy to follow.
Thanks, mate.
Had no success looking for something like this myself. Doesn't this topic worth to get into some FAQ? Is there something like that for each device?
Has anyone else had problems installing larger apps? I tried installing "Broken Sword" from one of the Humble Bundles a while ago. It seems to just stop installing and says the application can not be installed. There is no detailed error at all.
I can install other (smaller) applications from the bundle. Maybe the partitioning is decided in a wrong way, I have the following:
Internal memory:
11,87GB - 11,52 free
Internal memory:
1,00 GB - 759 MB free
SD-Card:
7,41 GB - 5,69 GB free
The apk I want to install is on the SD-Card already and is 540MB which shouldn't be too much for any of the memorys, except maybe the second internal memory? Why is there this second internal memory?
SOLUTION 1: If you don't use an external SDcard changing the mount point of /sdcard1 and /sdcard0 should help, there is a package for that there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32093304&postcount=179
OR you might want to consider to just make /sdcard1 a symlink to /sdcard0 with at least the drawback of not being able to use external sdcards anymore, as long as this is a symlink and not a directory - and maybe other sideeffects!
SOLUTION 2: Specifically for this app, the app itself has some glitches, see there the last post on how to install this specific app: http://forum.revolution.co.uk/topic/636/?page=4
Thanks for help and clarifying, maybe a repartition will be needed? (If it is needed, any link to a useful guide for someone that can manage UNIX / GNU/Linux systems but doesn't know too much Android specific stuff would be the most helpful)
Or is the problem maybe another one?
The partitioning isn't the issue, what else could be the problem?

My System Details:
Nook Tablet bought from ebay with CM10 (I think) installed already in internal memory, but no working internal recovery - installed CWM 6.0.3.7 and CM10.1.2 internally using a bootable CM10.1.x sdcard. Maybe the partitioning also isn't the default but was done by the pre-owner.
Okay, seems like size wasn't the issue
I repartitioned according to the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531120
And now made internal memory 1 to be 3,3 GB and Internal memory 2 to be 9,99 GB
Any of these still has enough space left, so there must be another problem ... any help?
Then some other issues that seem to persist: adb is shown "offline", I am running Linux and don't need to mess with Windows driver issues, all relevant solutions that I found for this didn't work, I also tried with data/factory reset and a new cm10.1.2 and nothing else on the system, still it is always "offline" ( adb in cwm works ).
Is there overall something else to care about with the Nook Tablet that I might have overlooked? It is also not too nice that the usual "central resource" for installing CM ( http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_acclaim ) does only show a non-working general guide... but I don't want to complain
I am also having the same issue. I have a nook tablet 16gb running CM 10.1 with 3.3 GB Internal Storage for all of the apps and 9.99 GB Internal Storage for everything else.
I have 2.8 GB free on the apps storage partition and 9 GB free on the other partition. when I go into Settings --> Apps and look at the SD Card tab, I see that 326 MB are listed as available for SD Card storage with 0 MB. I am not using an external SD Card.
I am unable to "move to SD Card" for any apps even though the option is highlighted. All apps have installed fine, but when I ran Minion Rush for the first time it stopped and said that I need 70 MB of available SD Card storage space to download additional data for the game. I have plenty of space available on both partitions, but for some reason this app doesn't recognize either of these partitions as an internal SD Card.
Is there a way to configure this device to use either of these partitions as internal an SD Card?

I figured it out bluesock. There is a former post that provides a solution. There is a ROM you will need to install that will fix this issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32093304&postcount=179
I copied the ROM to an SD Card then booted up into CWM and installed this ROM. After the reboot the second partition is renamed to SD Card and shows 10 GB of total space. Under file manager this partition is listed as sdcard 0 instead of sdcard 1. After that I was able to install apps of any size successfully.
Ok this "ROM" basically only modifies /system/etc/vold.fstab and switches sdcard0 around with sdcard1. This probably helps when not having a sdcard like in your case.
My problem wasn't this one, I have an external sdcard - so both sdcard0 and sdcard1 have enough space left!
But there was a problem with this specific app, check the last post on how to install: http://forum.revolution.co.uk/topic/636/?page=4 - sorry for not reporting back earlier, I will edit the first post in some minutes with our two "solutions" / explanations.
But first:
For you the better solution might be to do what digixmax said in that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2430335
I will reply there in some seconds with more details about what he said!
hi, i bought a cheap and cheerful chinese tablet, works well, but the internal memory was partitioned leeving little room for "internal memory" so i did this (try) to fix it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2412319,
so i started link to sd and it said partition not detected, so i restarted the tablet, and now it is saying "available memory 0"
i have nothing installed and i cant access internal storage via pc anymore, it shows the drive letter but when clicked it asks to "insert memory into drive .."
after looking around, it would seem that i need to re-flash it, or just put up with it.
this is my tablet http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351019060457?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
so either i need a rom or i need to re-format the internal sd.
can someone help me find a solution please?
i have found that i can see the internal storage from mtp on pc, but i cant format'
it is saying that the drive size is 0.00mb
anyone?

Similar issue - internal storage that isn't usable (different reason, but same end result - unusable storage). Look at post #5 for a rough idea of what might help. Basically you'll need to find the partition block your storage is located on (typically different for different devices) and erase the partition completely and then reformat it.

nevermind iv just bricked it!
Hey guys, figured this would be a good place to ask. I got this mirror off ebay:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/5-Android-4-...Monitors_Cams_Kits&hash=item2c87701b25&_uhb=1
It's pretty neat, but it has a pretty modified version of 4.0.4 and it's kind of a pain to get around some limitations. Maybe someone with more knowledge can guide me a bit:
1) I managed to root it and install gapps which work
2) i figured out how to get into recovery, but no volume buttons so all i can do is select reset
3) i can use ADB and connect it to my computer
Issues:
- i would like to install clockwork touch, but since it was never developed for it, i seem to be SOL.
- it has 8GB internal memory, but something is off, the "system partition" is 250mb and seems to be the only partition the OS thinks as of internal. Oddly enough the other 6GB also show up as internal in storage, but apps will install by default to the 250 partition, which limits me quite a bit. Connecting to the computer will lead to the 6GB partition. I don't get it. Moving apps to the 6gb partition shows them as "on sd". It has a micro sd slot which shows it as "sd"
- i cant for the life of me change the default launcher which is made by them and garbage
If anyone has some ideas, shoot. First thing would be figuring out a way to backup and restore, without that, i don't have much courage to mess too much with it.
Thanks for reading!
any news about this one ??
can you install any rom on it ?
