HTC HD2 512 running out of space?

using HTC HD2 512MB version, with MIUI.COM installed into the NAND
Questions:
1) I went to setting, and check the disk space free for the phone, adding up the disk space used, and free space, I only have 250MB in my phone? Why? How do I see 512MB in my phone?
2) How do I make the SD card the place to install all applications? like making it default?
3) When an application has been installed onto the phone; it says "30MB on Phone" and I hit the button "move to SD", and after moving, it says "140kb on SD" - what happen? Does it mean that it couldn't move the application from phone to SD? Or file size reported incorrectly?

Wrong Thread. You have to post your question in here:
HD2 Android Q&A and General
1)And also this is a stupid question!
If you flash a Rom in NAND then your free memory will not be 512MB because the Rom you flashed takes up your NAND space to start the system and start working! Logically!!!!!
2) If the Rom supports a2sd or data2ext then you can install several apps in SD card to save space.
3)Another stupid question. Well this is Normal.
There are several applications that can move to SD to save some Internal memory. Not all applications can move there though because you may corrupt them e.t.c.

misunderstanding of question (1)
my phone should have 512mb in there; after installing MIUI + apps to the NAND; a quick calculation total (used + free = 250MB only!)
what happen to the rest? (512mb - 250mb = 262Mb)

Download Titanium Backup from Market press on Overview and you will see your 512Mb space along with Free space and such!

okay, let me try

please bang your head in the wall and search google, this ain't your personal forums for finding if your phone is defective or not.
as for your case, your phone is normal, please keep in mind, hd2 is not native android phone, we are still running on the os.nb partition on windows phone (atleast on clk, dunno abt magldr as its closed source)and within that partition, we have other partitions for kernel, recovery, settings and cache.
so please stop posting such idiotic questions. and just try to think or atleast google before wasting our time and getting flamed upon by some stranger.

i know that google is our friend; but for a person who follows the miui tutorial to flash the rom into the device,
how could we have known what is going on? and what search terms to search?
FYI, I've tried searching for someone who has asked the same questions in xda, but couldn't find it,

Seeing that you already know a few of forum rules, that makes you look even more idiotic having posted a question in development section. I wonder if the mods were just playing around while they created the Q&A section.

Ext Partition isnt used

Hey,
I am using insertcoin on my desire and have a 1gb Ext Partition.
Titanium Backup says the half of it is used but my phone says my phone space is full.
Why? How can i make the Ext Partition use?
Metin

The fact that you got Insertcoin installed proves that you have a working EXT partition. Now if you are using the CM7r2 version of the ROM, be advised that the dalvik cache was not moved to the ext partition for speed considerations. That's probably the part that is full on your phone. I use FreeSpace app on the market to view every partition. It's better than the one built inside Titanium Backup imo.

No i am using a2sd and want the apps to be installed to the Ext partition.
Ive tried link2sd but this makes some apps like opera unstartable

They should be installed to the ext part out of the box. Although it's been a long time I cant remember if I'm right. And yeah using another app could just mess the script baadnews implemented for the rom.

And what i have to do?

What partition type do you have? Ext3 or Ext4? I remember using EXT4 with Insertcoin.

I use Ext4

I run the CM7r2 version of InsertCoin. Your apps are automatically installed on the EXT4 partition BUT not all the app is stored there so some of the internal memory is still used when you install an app.
How many apps have you installed?

I have 60 apps or so, but i see the apps folder is linked to Ext. My data/data folder is about 60mb, would it help to move it to Ext? But where are the other 60mb used on Internal? Which folder would best to move?
How i move it?

I believe moving anything will cause problems.

Are there any suggestions? I have a 1gb Ext Partition but i can only use half of it?

I ran this on Sandvold's ICS with a class 4 SDcard. This has a flashanle zip. But as you can see in the thread you have to manually install it. I tried the ICS zip with a fresh InsertCoin flash and it falied. I have not attempted to install it manually yet as I have been focused on installing and learning to live with s Linux OS...
Try this.
Edit
I meant to say the download from sandvold's site for the ICS ROM is a flashable zip. It appears that you need to manually install it for other ROMs.

I think the libs of apps like opera are very big.
I think it would help if i link them to the system partition.
Link2sd link them to SD but would it be possible to link them to system?

Read this...
http://docs.insertcoin-roms.org/master/en-US/misc/free-space-without-data2ext.html
I remember someone made a little script based on this to make it easy. There was a thread about it.

I ve read that moving data to Ext isnt good because it damals the SD but can i do it same way to system Partition?

Probably not. From what I understand, when the phone boots it reads the system partition first before it reads the SD card. If you link system to sd-ext, I believe the phone will not boot at all as the system files cannot be accessed during the initial startup since they are on sd. I'm not an expert but I haven't heard of anyone moving system to ext.
If you are really after more storage than the Sense hybrid, check the Supernova ROM. It's the official GB rom from HTC with a lot of space for apps. Downside is it's the old Sense.

I mean a symbolic /data/data/*/lib=>system (or may to SD, but system would better) because the libs are big.
I have tried link2sd for it but a2sd deleted all libs from SD.

[Q] Internal storage on tommytomatoes Classic Rom

I'd love to post directly to the thread in the developers section to ask this, but until then, can someone testing The Classic v0.0.9 let us know how internal storage is with the latest update?
I'm currently on Classic v0.0.6 with a substantial number of apps moved to SD card with Apps2SD Pro, and still only have about 47 mb of available space in Internal Storage. Just wondering if the latest version has more/less/or about the same amount of internal storage than v0.0.6?
Thanks

I'm running 0.0.9 and have a ton of free storage, however I'm using dta2sd on a partitioned SD card. I'm not familiar with apps2sd pro.
sent using a freaking pigeon, with a note tied to its leg.

Apps2SD Pro just moves part of the app. Data and cache still stay in the internal storage of the phone for the apps. If you use a lot of apps you may want to partitioned your sd card and flash dta2sd. This way the app and data will be moved to sd partition. You can even move the cache if needed. Hope that helps.

I wasn't familiar with dta2sd. Just read some posts stating that this rom already has it. Should I move the apps back to phone using Apps2SD, uninstall Apps2SD, then move to apps back again with dta2sd?

Is your sd card partitioned? If not you must do so to use dta2sd. Just make sure to backup all data from your sd card to your pc before doing so.

Sorry. I did mean to include in earlier post that my SD card is partitioned already. Thanks for all of the help.

Then all you need to do is go into terminal emulator. Type su. Then type a2sd reinstall. This will activate A2SD and move your apps and data to the sd partition. This is if the rom you have has a2sd baked in already. If not you will need to flash it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715938

Thanks, this worked for me as well!

I'm not sure if it's related, but after flashing DT a2sd, I was able to reinstall the google search box widget on Classic Rom. For some reason, I kept getting errors about a month or 2 ago. So I tried to uninstall/reinstall. For the past month or so, when tried to reinstall/download from Play, I kept getting error message.
Thanks again for this recommendation on a2sd.

This is by far the smallest internal storage usage I've had with any ROM. I also have my SD partitioned
and use ROM Toolbox's App2SD...
...and I know its off subject but I would like to share...
...this blows away any battery life I've had with other ROMs and kernels and tweaks.

sorry, missing link

Insufficient storage Link2SD error?

I'm not sure what the problem is here. I'm running CM9A6 via the RobotoMod 1.0.2 ROM, and I couldn't get the default S2E to work at all. I installed link2SD as a workaround, and while I know it has it's limitations, I can't determine why it won't link an app.
I downloaded Where's my Perry? for my kids, and due to it's size (50+ MB), I wanted to get it out of my internal storage. It isn't working, though - link2SD is throwing an error saying there's "insufficient storage". I'll let the screenshots speak for themselves:

Perry?free is already on the SDCard. You are trying to install it to internal memory and then getting Link2SD to link it back to the SDCard. As you only have 51.18MB free on your internal storage and Perry?free is 52.73MB it won't work. Leave it where it is.

Hi,
For CM9, use Ext4 on 2nd partition on SDcard. Do you have it?.
Link2sd was working fine with me when I had CM9Alpha7. Try only with Link2sd(don't have multiple SDcard apps).
Select 'Autolink' on Link2sd settings. If you do right, all apps will be installed on SD card.

2nd part is formatted Ext2. It works fine other than this one program, and I have it configured to install to SD.
I'll try linking just the dalvik-cache and library, and see if that works, leaving the app on the SD card.

If you bothered to look at the images provided by the OP, you will see that Link2SD is working fine. Changing the partition to Ext4 will not magically create more internal space.

See tats the problem wit link2sd. I used it for a long time after using data2sd. Now I'm back to daya2sd. It may boot slower but it gives u happiness.

Do you use Superuser or SuperSU. I recognized a lot of failures of folderMount with Superuser, since i flashed SuperSU, everything's fine.

For me, I was able to move the whole 2.3 gb map file to ext sd card by just deleting the TomTom map files located in my internal sd and let TomTom re-download the map to my external SD. As for the TomTom application itself, I went to App manager of HTC and tap on TomTom, it has an option to move to SD. So around 70 mb of the app data gets move to SD. I hope I've answered your questions.
As for your past favorites saved address, the only way I can retain all my favourites is by using Titanium Backup to restore it.
