Okay. I believe the most simple way to put it is like this:
On your stock HD2, you have a certain amount of memory on the device itself(512mb for unlocked HD2, 1024mb for TMOUS), this is where the OS is contained and also allows you space to install apps, store photos, music, etc...
The data.img that you either download from the thread or created by the Android build you're using is more or less exactly what is described above. It is "device memory" but contained in a single file so that it can be placed on the SD card.
Hope this clears things up for you.
EDIT:: Thread moved to Q&A forum.
Hello,
will the Android-made-data file expand during use?

No. There are guides in this forum on how to increase the size of one, rather than have to start again.

Hi.
I have searched for this issue, but haven't been able to find any answer to it.
I am running low on space on the phones main storage, and I discovered that there are several albums sample pictures which takes up a lot of space and I don't use CoPilot and the exe file takes up about 6MB. I tried to delete them but couldn't.
I have done step 67 in hints, tips and tweaks thread, and I install most of my apps on the storage card, but I am still running low on space.
So my question is: is it possible to delete some of the albums sample and CoPilot.exe?
Thanks
Copilot.exe is burned in the ROM, so the answer is no.
But I don't think that is the problem, as well as the sample pictures.
Try this instead:

Thanks for the help but, that thread didn't help me.
I don't get any error when I try to install an app. I just noticed that I don't have much space left on the phone's memory.
It seems that although I install most of my apps on the storage card, some files are still copied to the phones memory. And trying to cleanup the space on the phones memory I noticed some files that I don't use (e.g. CoPilot.exe and all the Albums sample images, total about 17 MB!). I just cannot delete them, since they are part of the ROM. So I was just wondering if someone had succeeded in deleting them. Has anyone succeeded in deleting those files?
By the way, I have done steps 65 and 67 in the tips & tweaks thread.

there's no point deleting files in rom because they are not consuming ram anyway... because they are in rom! So even if you could delete them, it wouldn't help.
deleting the googlemaps cache and the htc album cache will free up device ram.
you can also move your opera cache files to the storage card. If you use the MS facebook app, the thumbnail images located in \Temp\fbimagecache can also be moved to the storage card and i'm pretty sure the HTC generated facebook thumbs can be moved there as well. But you'll need to delve into the registry to do it
The \windows\rings folder can also be moved to storage card

that's not relevant, he's looking to free more space from the internal storage memory, not the ram...
And alas, you cannot remove files that are in the rom... that's why you'd be better off finding a custom rom suited to your needs without all the apps that you don't really need.
Best I've seen is ~250MB free after flash with sense, or about 30MB more without sense

Yes, exactly.
Anyway, thanks for the help. I'll take a look at the custom ROMs.
Its a HTC Touch but for this simple Question don't want to open a new Thread in the Touch Forum:
My Girlfriends HTC Touch P3450 (with this 6.5.3 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636589) is running out of space.
(even with Original 6.1 ROM the little Space was a big Problem)
All Apps but Windows Marketplace and My Phone are installed on Micro SD.
Office Mobile 2010 needs less Space than the "old" Office Mobile so i upgradet
Ist there a Way to delete the sample Pictures, Sounds/Ringtones and other (unused) Files?
No success with Windows 7 or RESCO File Explorer.
I remember that it was possible with original Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM on P3450 and T7272 but with 6.5.3 it isn't.
Thanks
(and sorry for my poor english)
Hi all,
There are a few updates/hotfixes for the Leo on the HTC website at the moment which I want to download and install. My question: As some of these files are quite large, one is 12mb, where would these files be installed, internal memory or SD card, or will I be given a choice as per cab installation?
Thx for any replies.

Thx for the reply.
I have about 60mb of free memory on my phone at the moment. The updates/hotfixes I've downloaded, 9 files in all, add up to about 32mb. I know I should have probably gradually downloaded and installed these files. Therefore I would prefer to install to SD card. Can anyone see any problems with this, or do these files NEED to be installed direct to the device?
Again thx for any replies.

these updates are not like cabs, and install into the ROM directly replacing previous file, so no extra storage is used up.
Not to mention you could just, take the stuff on your actual phone's memory and shift whatever files you have eating up the ridiculous amount of space the phone has on board to the SD card as well.
System files or updates shouldn't ever go on the SD card unless you're doing rom changing and that's a completely different beast. Reason being for me is that an SD card can mess up over time plus its nice to have reference to the files incase you need them again in the future.
Greetings.
Does a larger data.img hamper performance by comparison to a smaller one or is it just boot up time that suffers?
Thanks

Boot up for me takes about, complete from turning phone off, 20 seconds. I read that going over 2 gigs does screw with Android.

Gents.
I searched this form without an exact description about the file data.img.
when installing Android in my HD2 I have options of data.img.
256MB, 512MB, 1GB ....etc.
My questions are:
What is the data.img for?
What is the difference between different sizes of this file?
Really appreciate your help.
The data.img file is what is used to replace the 'internal memory' a native android phone has. The 'internal memory' of your HD2 stores Windows Mobile, so we use the SD card. The Android OS and the user's apps are stored in the data.img file and loaded into the RAM memory when needed.
edit: Oh and, the bigger the file, the bigger your virtual internal memory is, the more apps you can install on it. I'd recommend going for a 512 mb since most ROMs (with Froyo) support moving Apps to the 'actual sd', so the same place the data.img resides in.

Check my signature for a link or go to my thread and you'll see the "Data.img maker". Go up to 2 gigs for use with storage.

Hi,
I recently installed some NAND android (i.e. miui 1.4.29) roms (magldr), they work perfectly. I also partitioned my sd card with 1GB ext3(also tried other values) and in my system info it says there is available a2sd+ memory. But on every rom and with every install I have a maximum of +-7.5MB internal memory space of which +-1.5MB is free to use. So if I install 1 app my memory is full and i can't read my sms messages etc.... Why do other users have 100MB+ free space? Is there a way to check where all that memory is being used? (overall?), At install I wiped my device fyi.
thanks in advance,
Jo

hi,
Are you flashing the correct cwm recovery that the Dev recommends in the [OP]?
Flashed from my fingers to your face
I've got a worse problem, I'm trying several ROMs for my HTC HD2 but each and every ROM only gives me like 0.5 MB internal memory....I'm lost i don't any idea what to do , any suggestions for me?
Setting the correct partition size each rom?

can you tell us your device spec, magldr/clk/ partition size/flash.cfg etc
my guess is...you have EU HD2 and you flashed a 350> partition
did you install a radio that allows 576mb ram? I am not an expert but that is needed and there are several available. Also, post as many details about your phone and what you did so that the Developers have enough information to help you better.

If he hadn't, magldr wouldn't start, android wouldn't boot.

There are several ways to create more space. The first one is deleting some apps but I don't think you want that.
If you have room on your SD card, place some apps on the SD card. You can do this with several apps like 'app 2 sd'. Since you are a beginner this is probably the best way to do it but you can also use a script for this. Most custom roms have this but you have to read the instructions on the particular roms thread on how to operate it.
Not exactly what i wanted

But others have like 400 - 300 mbs of free space on the same rom. I want to know what is wrong with my rom or installation. I have experiance in android and the lg optimus one, just no this phone. I know we can install link2sd but I want that 400 mb
First possibility, they have a device with 1024 MBytes storage, as i understand, this is the american version of HD2 (LEO1024).
Otherwise you must use A2SD or Link2SD.
I prefert the last one, because you have an influence, which APPs will be moved to the SD card.
Sounds like maybe you made too large system partition. Example, if your instructions says it needs 150mb partition, and you create 250mb partition, you LOSE 100mb of storage space, because storage is calculated on what is left AFTER the system partition is created.
