So, i got a new SD card, transferred everything over and it works fine. Except safe strap doesn't recognize that the new SD card is bigger. When I try to create a new ROM slot it thinks the SD card doesn't have enough room. Any suggestions?

Safestrap
Safestrap is not using space on your external SD card for ROM slots. It is uses your phones internal memory and partitions it. 8gb of 16gb is for your stock rom. The remaining 8gb is available for custom ROM slots. When you create a ROM slot you choose the size of the data partition. Even at 1gb of data your ROM slot is going to take up a little over 2gb (System/Data and cache partitions). Your External SD card just holds back-ups. I at one time had my stock ROM and 3 additional slots created in Safestrap..I didn't have enough free space for a fourth additional slot (even at 1gb data partition). I know that doesn't help in your situation, but explains why you are limited to the memory internal to your phone.
That makes sense. I guess I wasn't understanding how safe strap works. I haven't rooted a phone since the original incredible so this is kind of all new to me again. Thanks for the reply.

Hello
I have installed a Custom ROM (Cyangenmod) on my HTC desire recently. I was wondering if I can repartition my SD without losing the installed ROM.
Now my SD card (originally 4Gb) is showing only 2.5Gb capacity. how can I get the 4Gb back ???
If I copy the content of the SD to PC then repartition to full 4Gb, then copy them back on SD will my applications work?
How to do this step by step please?
I hope my question is clear
First, rom is installed in phone and not SD. Unless you are doing dual boot, it will be stored in SD (I don't think you use this).
Then, as what you said, you have 4gb, and now only 2.5gb. The 1.5gb may be used for ext partition to let you have more space on your phone. You can probably get back to 4gb, but you don't have ext partition anymore.

There is no option for it in the phone and I would use Titanium Backup if not for the fact that the phone reads the SDCard as SDCard-EXT and the internal memory as SDCard, so it would just move it to internal memory like in the settings menu. Any ideas? Gameloft SD card downloads have already filled my 4 gigs. As-is, my 32gb card is useless right now.

Yes, that give me a lot of headache because I am a gamer... I have been used Moto phones Atrix, Photon and now Razr... All phone don't have this option...Cm7 got the option to change default SD Card. Some people says this is default setting of Android OS. But manufacturers should have provided this option in their phones since they included internal & external SD. Some games SD data are nearly 1GB in these day...How?

Check out the Droid x2 forum. Dev named navenedrob made.a flashable mod to flip-flop the storage designation. Maybe it could be ported?

Ok so heres the deal. My phone shows 2 internal memory sections. One of them is the actual internal memory, but the other (27gb) is ACTUALLY my external SD card. And I don't know what 'SD CARD" represents. Maybe the expanded internal memory? I don't know when this happened or how. I've known it was this way for a while but I didn't worry about it until I ran out of space and it started causing problems. Which it is now. The problem is, that no matter what settings I change in the phone, if I change apps/photos to save to the SD card, they don't really save to the SD card, they save to one of the ones listed as internal memory. So I basically bought a 32gb sd card for no reason because my phone is completely out of space. My apps can't even update. I wake up in the morning with a notification bar full of "insufficient storage, cannot download" messages.
Has anyone heard of this happening before or has it happened to you? Can someone PLEASE tell me how to fix it. Screenshots are attached.
Also, my phone is rooted and running Jokersax (now Th3Bill's) CM10 ROM, but it has been like this probably since Jokers CM9 ROM.
Thanks in advance for the help =]
Okay, I am and have ran almost all Th3Bill ROMS, and Am currently on Pac man. The images below are going to work no matter what ROM you have. First shows my actual internal memory the Rom is running in, SD Card, is the actual internal memory for storage.
The second picture shows another internal which would be my 16 gig card. Which comes as SDCard 1, my internal is known as SDCard 0. This is set because I chose this when installing the Rom, emmc(internal) as my primary.
This would be switched if I chose my SDCard as primary in installation.
With as many applications, games or such you have. You may want to wipe all and reinstall with your SDCard chosen as primary. This way you will have plenty of memory.

There is no other way to set my SDcard as primary other than wiping everything?

Edit your vold.fstab in root/system/etc.
Mine has this
dev_mountsdcard/storage/sdcard0 auto/devices/virtual/block/nandi
dev_mountextsd/storage/sdcard1 auto
Change the sdcard storage/sdcard0 to a /storage/sdcard1
And vice versa

I know that you can make ROM slots on internal. What about extrernal? Can I buy a external SD card and run the Roms I made slots for, on the external SD card? My internal is barley at 1.3 gbs left. In know the answer might be no, but I'm just checking.
So can you use your external SD card, for more rom slots without using up your internal SD card storage?

our phone have 16gb storage but we use only 8gb.
3.8gb is too much for applications. 1gb is enough for applications.
or i don't use webtop, can i delete webtop partition?

I thought our phones used 8GB for phone/system, 8GB for internal storage, and then whatever space you have on the user changeable micro SD card. Check settings, storage to get a complete summary of the memory on your phone (If you are running a custom ROM do this check from the stock ROM).
Mine has 16GB external storage. Motorola says you can use up to 32 GB micro SD cards and there are reports that the new 64GB micro SDXC cards will work as well (may require reformatting first). 128GB micro SDXC cards have just been released; I'm waiting to see if anyone gets them to work in our phones.
That should be plenty of storage for an entire music and photo collection IMHO. I would be hesitant to delete any system files like the webtop partition unless I had a complete backup so I could recover if something goes wrong.

You cannot re-partition your internal storage.
However, you can always use an external sdcard if you are running low on space.
