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?

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...

Given I cannot post into the dev forum and following the instructions/reasons why(under 10 posts, post in Q&A forum etc) I am doing as stated.
First Thing:
This rom is fantastic, wanted to give props to the dev who created this.
Now one or two questions:
1.) I noticed when clicking on "about phone" the baseband version is showing as "unknown". Everything works though(calls, internet, wifi etc). Should I be concerned about this? I did the jump from Gingerbread after wiping delvik, cache, and data.
2.) I had to re-install this rom after my initial attempt as I thought I did something wrong, but I was getting the SDCard error(no SD card or cannot find SD Card) when in camera or using Root Explorer/ES Explorer. Turns out unlike GB and Touchwiz the \SDCard path isn't the main directory anymore, but the \emmc directory is. I take it this is due to the stock ICS implementation(AOSP/AOKP?).
3.) I do not have an SD card yet(just got the phone last week) but it was a little confusing having two (2) storages called "Internal Storage". My first mistake was clicking the checkbox in settings -> storage to use Internal Storage(which uses the 2GB partition reserved for the OS). I wiped and reloaded after that and moved my apps to the other "Internal Storage"(10+GB). Was it my doing that they are both called Internal Storage? Can I "change" that for label it myself in a better way?
Again, great rom, and I've been lurking for quite some time just a few things I needed to understand. Mods, I am truly sorry if this in anyway violates any rules(i hope i followed them correctly) and I did try searching but a wide array of different answers or part answers came up.
Answers:
1) You shouldn't be concerned at all.
2) The ROM is based off of the unofficial CM9 so its going to have bugs in it. And currently, that is a known bug. Rebooting the device usually does the trick tho.
3) not really sure what you're trying to ask here. sorry.
Hope this helped alleviate some of your doubts. Good luck and continue to read and learn!
Thanks for the response babymatteo!
For number 2, I actually did try rebooting, still got the errors, but have since fixed it(still using the \emmc directory).
Number 3, I guess I am asking if its normal for the storage partitions to be called the same thing?(I can't remember if it was under GingerBread or any other ICS rom i installed. Basically the Galaxy note came with 16gb(more like 12GB) of internal space, 2GB was reserved for system use and the remainder for apps/storage. Both are called Internal Storage and it kind of confused me when snooping around settings. Just want to know if I can rename a storage label/partition(if I should call it that)?
Hello guys I have been rooting and installing custom roms for a few years so I bought a NT 16 gig and installed CM7 then used goomanager to install the open recovery script. Everything worked fine but i looked at the storage and it only had like 2gigs of internal and the sd card so I am wondering did i mess up or is this normal or do i need to mount it just wondering. Also I wondered if i did mess up can i use the total wipe with Ubuntu in the top of the dev page to start over and fix the storage and just start over installing cm7.
Thank you all
Brent
You didn't messed up. If you would like more space follow this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531120 . Follow everything correctly and you should be able to have more than 9 gigs of storage. Barnes and Noble made it so that you could only use 1 to 2 gigs of storage and the rest for app, books, and others.
Thank you
I guess when i went to the storage and only saw the 2 things it kind of threw me I have Galaxy SG2 for my phone and it shows the intenal and the usb internal storage so i was expecting to see some similar.

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!
I'm running Liquid Smoth 3.1, and noticed the internal memory (for apps and such) is separated from the internal SD. Can we increase the internal memory allocation? I don't recall if this was common or not before I installed the ROM.
Still no solution found...

This is how old Samsung used as a separated partition(2GB/Remaining space) structure.
I could confirm that newer models only have one partition.
I had researched days of searches and still did NOT find confirmed easy solutions like flashing ZIP files.
(My research -> Link)
I REALLY DO wish someone could guide me a solution to repartition as one total 16GB(Like newer Galaxy)
or expending 2GB system partition to any bigger size.
I still did NOT find the solution and still looking.
The only last method I did not try - Working with ADB command which I need to consider to brick my phone.
But this is my primary phone that I use.
Even worse, KitKat ROM(I am using beanStalk ver 4.4.4001) does not allow to use App2SD function.
I have to manage all of my apps+data+decent space within 2 GB limitation even if I have 11GB available
space as an Internal Storage (NOT External SD).
Hope it helps and let you know you are in same boat with me.
Once again, I wish there is an easy solution who could help us!
Any Update??
