Sorry guys. I just can't figure this out. My apologies.
I have searched and read... but can't quite get my dead brain around this.
Flips Fresh 2.0d rom flashed.
Didn't partition the SD card until AFTER I had flashed.
Before partitioned I was running about 20 megs of memory and getting a low memory warning.
After partitioning I went up over 60 megs of memory.
Now after downloading more apps, I am back down to the low 50's.
By using estrongs file explorer, it looks to me like most of the apk's are still on the root directory and not on the sd card.
I have a 4gig sandisk card.
Under "sd and phone storage" it shows 3.06 gb of space. 2.87 gb available.
Oh and one more thing. I cannot figure out how to get into "shell" to do the adb commands.
It is a wonder I have a working phone at all
Walk me through this please. And thanks for your patience.

I had hero up and running with apps2sd and everything. Decided i wanted the launcher.apk on my phone after i had ran the optimization scripts which removed it, made a bad choice and tried to adb push it which corrupted the boot sequence somehow cause the phone was stuck at the g1 startup screen.
So no big deal, figured i'd start with a clean slate. I wiped, flashed ion back onto it, reformatted the sd card, then went to push the app_s folder back to system/sd/app_s. Everything was going smoothly until it said it ran out of space and only installed about 30 of the apps. So i loaded up Paragon and checked the sd card and it said it was blank. Then i used adb to check the sd card and it said the app_s folder was there, but it was still incomplete. I reformated but this time used paragon to do the file transfer of the app_s folder, which was successful, and then i checked it with adb and it says it's blank.
At this point im lost as what to do. Paragon shows the app_s folder on the sd card, but the phone won't find it. Im beginning to think my sd card maybe corrupted somehow. any ideas?
you might have to backup the files on your memory card..then repartition your SD card..not a 100 percent sure though, ask one of the more experienced developers in a Hero thread
Already repartitioned it... fat32 and the ext2
How old is your SD card?
Perform a complete reformat of the memory card using Windows.
alright been messing around and discovered that the phone isn't mounting the ext2 partition.
Gonna do a complete reformat of the sd card with windows as you said then give it another try.
And the sd card is barely a month old. its a class 6 8gb if that matters.
Please post in the right section, and try to search before starting a new thread.
Hello, I'm having difficulty formatting a 2gb Sandisk micro SD card.
I originally had autonooter 2.0 burned onto it and i remember i used it for other disk images when i first rooted my nook color.
Now i'm trying to help a buddy of mine and trying to burn a 2gb image of CM7 onto it.
I erased everything on the card and tried to format it on my PC and it showed only a few MBs of memory... i knew it was something i wasnt doing correctly but i decided to try formatting it from my phone which sort of worked
It freed up 1.84 gb, and left some random files from the phone.
I searched around and figure it has to do with the card being partitioned and such, but i dont really know what i'm supposed to do about it.
The disk image im trying to burn is 1.86 gb, so i know that there's something on the card i didnt wipe properly.
Thanks in advance for any input.

You formatted, which got rid of the low capacity from the image. Now you just need to delete the files and directories that the phone dropped onto it; you can do that from windows explorer or whatever.
Iirc, a 2gb card actually is 1.86gb, so you won't get more than that. And that's probably why the image you want to use is exactly 1.86gb.
If you have a windows pc, you can try the utility SDFormatter to format you microSD.
Good luck.
Hi,
I guess the subject says it all.
To clarify, I've just got my new Note and I currently have Acer A100. I took the titanium apps backup folder and transfered it to the Note and did a titanium backup restore.
I've successfully restored 316 apps, but still have 84 apps left.
My System Storage says: 1.8gb used - 184mb free
USB Storage from Storage says: 11.07gb total space - 8.37gb available space.
I couldn't complete the titanium backup restore and have to turn the phone off/on in order to stop the FROZEN apps restore process on the 318th app out of 464ish.
Moreover, I can't install anything from the Market and I get unable to install for insufficient storage error.
Any ideas, help? And please don't say I've to install an external SD card since I'm not planning at the moment. My concern now: why this is happening?
BTW, I don't have Facebook app installed so I can clear the cache, and I already did Market clear cache, but no luck.
Thanks!
No one????

Move some apps to SD.
i had this issue when i first started loading my apps on the note. started getting low memory alerts after about 200mb was left then stopped loading any app when about 190mb was left. what the f*** my old htc desire had 147mb internal memory available for apps and would load apps till about 5mb was left on initial firmware then with updated firmware would allow apps to load only till about 15mb was left on internal memory.
anyway even i too had about 10gb left on the internal storage and still would get the low memory alerts. and just could not move apps to internal sd card with apps2sd pro or even the stock apps tool for moving apps to internal memory. my 32gb card was almost full so was stuffed till i deleted some stuff on card and then could move a bit to external card.
but somehow later, when installing / uninstalling apps it seems to have now moved some to internal sd storage dont know how it happened and i have more meroy on my external card now.
but phone does crash with freezing and only sorts itself out when card removed. happened a few days ago and again last night. works perfect when no sd card. card is sansidk 32gb and works fine on my htc desire. but the folder structure is a bit different from my htc desire and dont know if my htc desire folder structure being present on my card is causing issues and freezing and crashes. if not sorted then will put a new card and copy over stuff that i need.

As I said earlier, I don't want to insert an external SD card at the moment. I want to use it like any other phone/tablet that has more than 3/4 of the storage available... BUT, thanks for the suggestion!

I had the same exact thing!!!!!!!!!!!!
Around 190mb, my phone started to give that error.
So, I either had to install/uninstall apps and see if it moved them to internal storage, or I have to have an external SD card????
I just ordered a class 10 16gb sd card from AmazonBasics and I'm waiting for it. My problem is that I'm overseas and I want to use the phone fully without an SD card!!!!!!!!!!!
how big are the backups and what are you restoring? if you have loads of sms/mms etc then it will take up the internal space
the usb space you can ignore as that isnt part of the data space provided
The backup was 1.8gb. But I was restoring only the apps nothing else from titanium backup...
Is there away I can use the USB storage as internal storage for apps? And I mean not using an external SD card at ALL...???
Post with incorrect information.
I tried doing that, but it tells me that I need to insert an SD card!!!!

You have misunderstood move to SD option.
Gingerbread storage operate a bit different from Honeycomb.
The 16GB onboard storage in the Note is divided into two visible partitions, 2GB for storage apps and 11GB as SD card.
The move to SD option simply move the apps from the 2GB partition to the 11 GB partition, no external micro SD card is needed.
Just download App2SD and see which apps can be move to the 11GB partition to free up space for install extra apps.
Once Note get Ice Cream Sandwich update, hopefully we will not have this problem.

no your method didnt work for me even though i had 10gb free on usb internal memory and 190mb free on partition reserved for apps. app2sdmove pro and stock application manager would refuse to move any app to usb 11gb memory. my 32gb sd card was full so couldnt move there either. only after i deleted some data and made space on my external 32gb card could i move apps withh app2sd pro or the stock app manager.
but curiously later (2w later) somehow (i dont know) now about 155 apps seem to have moved themselves to internal memory (the 11gb usb memory present internally on the phone and now i have 10gb used up on the internal memory and similar amount free on my card. god knows how that happened.
now as my phone was crashing again last night have had to remove sd card from phone and phone working fine. will see whether to copy data to lapton and reformat the card in phone and then transfer back data or whether to use a new card.
but the app move to sd feature is certainly buggy with there being different areas to move the app to. now some of my apps are on internal 1.9gb memory, some are on my 11gb internal memory and some are on sd card. i have no contrl over which app goes where irrespective of whether i use stock app manager or app2sd pro.
any pointers anyone, how to force all apps to move to internal 11gb memory and not to external sd card?
Thanks for the clarification.
There must be something (some sort of process or an action) triggered the apps transfer to the internal storage!
Don't you think? Can't you think of anything that you've installed or did that made that happen?

dont know but the crashing usually starts at night uk time and always hangs when system media scanner is perpetually scanning then device crashes. cant remember what apps i uninstalled but most were reinstalled and seemed to work fine a few days. same phone has been phone all day today but the sd card has been removed since last night. am busy work wise till tomorrow so havent had the time to sort out the sd card. will see over the next few days.
regarding the apps moving to internal sd card. i just deleted some apps then reinstalled them then used the regular apps2sd pro to move to sd card, seems t work sometimes, but not at other times. same goes for the app settings menu. for example if i now without sd card in phone try the sd card move option, it does not move apps to internal 11mb but rather i get pop up saying no sd card. but dont know how the 155apps are already on the same 11gb on internal memory, but many are still on the 1.9gb space of partitioned internal memory and can be moved.
i already have google earth installed from the market and moved it to sd card. but thought that some bits of it remain on internal memory. but doesnt look like it. now without sd card if i visit market then google earth on market gives install option again inspite of having it already on my sd card and when i press instal it installs again onto 1.9gb of internal memory and when i try apps 2 sd option then i get pop up saying no sd card and doesnt move it to the 11gb internal memory.
dont know how to sort this issue. will try to figure it out over the next few days but hoping someone else can give some pointers how to move apps to 11gb internal memory.
out of the 303 app icons present on my noteapp screen (including all the ones that came with the phone) 128 are on external sd card, 155 are on internal 11gb card. dont know how some went to internal sd card and some went to external sd card. hope someone can help out to move all of them to internal 11gb memory.

This is not correct.
Apps to SD moves files from internal memory to /sdcard/external_sd/Apps2D.
This is the external SD card normally. (it's technically possible to mess with the device links to swap /sdcard and /external_sd though).
Data in /sdcard comes from applications which download their own data.
I.e. you run them and they say 'I need to download a bunch of data!'. For example, Asphalt 6. That data can't be shifted out and there is a definite possiblity of filling up your 10 gig partition with stuff like this.
This is one of the bigger faults of the Note, IMHO.
- Frank
That's what I thought...
It's one of Note's drawbacks in terms of usage of internal storage and there's no workaround as far as I know.

My bad, good to know.
I don't seems to find /sdcard/external_sd/Apps2D path, or Apps2D folder using both My Files and Root Explorer apps, must be hidden.

Whoa - you are right... Me neither. I got the location of Apps2D from the diskusage app. I wonder if it's a diskusage bug.
Under storage settings.
Shows me SD Card total space 116MB Available space 12.52MB. My SD card was a 32 gig class 10.
Internal storage 4.9GB
Available space 4.33GB
Also C7 will boot without memory card in it. My cousin helped me root it and we used the SD card to root it. According to him I should be able to take the SD card out and boot into the normal NOOK settings. This correct?
I am getting errors when I try to install things to SD. Tells me there is not enough room.
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense still very new to this.
Thanks for the help.
First, go to Settings>CyanogenMod settings>Application> and make sure Use internal storage is unchecked.
Then go to Setting>Storage and let us know about SD card, Internal and Additional storage values.

Sounds like you installed CM7 to the internal memory, not to an external SD card. that's probably why you are seeing the space available on internal memory, but not the SD card. There is Verygreens's method to install CM7 and CM9 to the external card, leaving the stock Nook ROM in place, but it doesn't sound like you used it. To get answers to most of your questions, go to Leapinlar's great information page here:
Leapinlar's Tips
Specifics relating to installing CyanogenMod on an SD card are in the second post.

Yes, I agree. It sounds like his friend set it up to install to SD by burning the image to the card, but somehow flashed the rom to internal memory instead. That would explain the 5GB internal space and 116Mb SD card space.
He needs to reformat the SD card to get the full size of the card available.

Well sounds like the stock nook interface is gone then. No big deal. Do I just reformat the SD card through the settings in android? The option states Erase SD Card. Would that be what I want to do?
Also not sure if this is related. But sometimes C7 wont boot when I have the SD card in. Take the SD card out and it boots just fine.
Well I grew a pair and did the Erase SD Card. Now it is showing 29.66GB.

LOL. Good job. Yes, stock Nook is gone. I can help you get it back if you want it, but most never miss it. The only reason people want it is for warranty or if they want to have kids books work.
Random side question but figured since I have ya here.
Any idea on a good note taking app for android? As in for school notes like during class?

Don't use it much for that, but Googling yields this:
Best note-taking apps for Android
am I missing something here? the move to SD function seems absolutely worthless to me. I installed today's update and downloaded a 1gig game I wanted to try out. It downloaded and installed and I noticed that it is still taking up 1gig of internal storage on the phone. I went in to Application Manager, moved it to the SD card, but it is STILL taking up 1gig with only about 10meg moved over to the physical SD card despite App Info saying:
Total: 0.99 GB
Application: 1.39 MB
SD card app: 0.99 GB
Data: 0.00 B
SD card data: 0.00 B
Despite it saying SD card app: 0.99GB, that whole 1gig is sitting in the phone's internal memory and not on the SD card. My phone's internal memory is down a gig and the SD card's available storage didn't change at all.
this makes it seem more like a gimmick here to say the phone supports app2SD but it really doesn't and everything still resides in /storage/emulated/0 instead of on extSdCard like you'd think it should.
Any suggestions or help here would be greatly appreciated.
My understanding is that it only moves the ,apk itself and data stays on internal memory

That's very misleading then, especially to say "SD card app" when its still actually on the phone's internal memory ... Almost makes it a complete waste ... 10meg APK and 990meg data file ... Its the data file we'd want to move ...
Very much agreed, however, data and cache being run from the sd has been unstable in the past also potential data loss in the event of sd failure etc. These are the reasons that Google discontinued apps to sd to start with.
If you have root you can try using the foldermount app to move data to the sd, or if you wanna move more things to sd you can try this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285221 , I have done this to the letter and it's works very good!.
