it would be usefull if you told us exactly which desire hd rom, how you are running it (daf, cwm, sd card), and whether you have an ext partition on your sd card. Oh, and which phone you have, regular or tmous.
Sense roms are big, they take up a big chunk of the nand, so it is almost always essential to use app2sd and/or data2sd. (read the thread for the rom you have to know which it supports)
More accurate info = more accurate help.
rubbish info = rubbish guesswork help.

Thanks for your reply...
here is my details..
ROM : LeoRCMix S v.1.5 (RCMixS v.2.0) [Sense 2.1+3.0]
Running using : CWM
Phone : HTC HD2
Im using : TMOUS
I know i have to use app2sd/data2sd.. but im not sure how to config it.. even i tried to do but im struck with boot screen..
ok, so it should only need a 200 meg system partition, so my guess would be that you haven't set up the 1gb ext partition? you can do that through cwm (backup your sd card first, it will get formatted) and
but im not sure how to config it

you dont have to. it does it itself so long as you have the ext partition properly created. I also think that if you DONT have the ext partition set up yet, you will probably need to reinstal the rom after you DO set it up.
So, summary, , , question 1 - do you have an ext partition set up?
(Also, and this causes a lot of confusion, , , when the system uses an ext partition, it DOES NOT show the extra space in the available memory count, but it does get used, , so for example my phone shows 210MB or so free internal space, , , i install a 10MB probgram, that goes down to 200, BUT after i reboot, it goes back up to 210, , because the prog has actually installed to my 512MB ext partition, not the 210 internal space.)

then you are wasting 200 meg, , that rom says in post 1
EU and TMOUS: 200M system + 1GB EXT partition
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that means you have 200 meg empty in your system partition, not being used.
Stuff that you install do not get installed to the system partition, nothing (or at least not apps / settings) gets put into the system partition, except the system at installation.
Do a full cwm backup, reflash using a 200MB partition layout, reflash the rom to teh new layout, restore your data and sd-ext partitions from advanced restore (in cwm) and you will recover the 200MB

Thanks a lot... now i understood wht is system and data memory.. now i got 200mb internal memory.. thanks again
same problem
i have a nand of 4.1.2 in my hd2 its pacman
it shows system memory only 13mb, i have removed all apps i installed earlier but still no space freed, can i atleast get the same 150mb back which i had earlier i.e any way to wipe all data on it/hard reset it?
is there any way of expanding the memory? because after i have installed 10-15 apps the memory vanished(even though i moved the apps to sdcard using app2sd) does that means i can not install more apps any way??
p.s i am a new user of android dont know how to install new rom etc so please explain the solution in simple steps.
Hi everyone,
Now i have a problem with my htc hd2 nand rom. I had tried alot of nand roms and when i tried to make ext3( i tried with CWM, Gpartet, Easus, Minitool) but when i boot my rom i saw only 100mb of free memory. After puting my sd card in my PC i run easus and there is ext3 partition but the phone cant read it. Please help me if you can.

Are you sure that you created it as a second partition and as a primairy (instead of a logical)?

Which roms are you trying it with? Have you tried other cards?
Format the card using Panasonic SDFormatter..
Format: FULL (Overwrite)
Size Adjustment: ON
Now partition again using CWM, 1GB space and 0MB swap.
Yes i had tried 2 cards 16Gb and 2GB now i will try again.
PS: I'm using Typhoon now.

That looks like it should be correct.
Give rafdroid 4.02 a try, that is the one I use and which shows the the correct size for sure.

Hi,
I think you are confusing the different sections of space on the phone.
Get yourself Titanium Backup,and it will list the different storage spaces you have:
System ROM
Internal
SD card
SD card(a2sd) or EXT.3 partition in your case.
The 100MB you see is internal free space.
You can then how much space you have on your EXT. and what is being used.

Hi,
It looks absolutely fine.
260MB of free internal memory
And 999MB free on your EXT. partition.
You should update the app.It will also show system as well.

make sure you clean out the old rom before booting the new rom, , in CWM choose 'wipe data/factory reset', then 'wipe cache', then 'advanced - wipe dalvik cache'
I' m right now thank you for helping me.

HTC HD2 EXT3 partition not showing up
Hi,
I just installed miui 6.9.29. Everything is working fine but one thing: the ext3 partition i created in CWM (512 mb, 0 mb swap) does not show up as internal storage. I tried to mount it in CWM, but still no luck . Can someone please help me? I really need more than 115 mb of internal storage, since there is only 23.54 mb available. Pretty stupid actually because i only want about 3-4 apps more..
Please help!

The partition won't increase the amount of internal storage that shows up in Settings/Storage
Your phone will still tell you how much actual internal storage you have left, not how much is free in your partition.
You can see how much of the partition is used from Titanium Backup though

Your internal memory should be 220 - 280 mb. You have an european hd2, which means that you have little bit more than 500 mb of internal memory. You flash android + partitioning cwm, that uses your internal memory too.
Are you using a sense rom?
if you are using a AOSP rom, use tthe 150/5 partition. You will have atleast 240 mb of internal memory.
check this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954369
it shows 860mb internal memory...please suggest how to get it....
On a fresh install with no apps downloaded/installed, on a TMOUS HD2, with a 130mb system partition, 860 mb of free space sounds about right.
On your Euro HD2, never gonna happen.
But when you use A2SD, you don't have to worry about your internal memory space, because the apps are not getting installed there. So you can install a ton of apps and your internal memory will only go down very slightly.
The way to check how much room you have left for apps when using A2SD is to use Titanium Backup to view your used/free space on your ext partition.
I have hundreds of apps installed in my ext3, my internal memory has gone down a total of like 5-10mb from what it was when I first flashed the ROM, and my phone still runs smooth as butter. If you have A2SD installed, Settings/Storage/Internal Memory doesn't mean much.
thankyou

Hi guys,
I've installed a CM7 ROM then installed S2E, then flashed an AOSP build to replace it. When I try to use S2E to move the apps back to NAND from sd-ext, it shows up in NAND in the first couple of boots, but later on goes back to sd-ext without S2E doing the job. I kinda figured that it's built into the ROM to move the apps to sd-ext.
What would be the safest way to move the apps from sd-ext back to /data/app, and then repartition my SD card into a single partition and use its whole storage capacity?
Thanks in advance!

try link2sd in the market,it's free,but once you've moved all u want to,boot into recovery and wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik,that MIGHT do the trick
one question, how do you want to partition your sd? i mean one fat or one ext partition? But seriously, one partition is a bad idea, i wouldnt recommend that.
@Ty5982, Thanks for the input! Will try that later.
@greg17477, I'm using Windows so I want to format it to a single Fat32 partition. What's your recommendation?
Partition ur sd card in recovery with 1gb and swap size 64mb,THEN,open link2sd and when u 1st open it,it checks your phone and sd card then prompts u were u want to send apps to,ext 2,3,4 or FAT 32,select FAT 32 as its what u want,then a error msg will appear,reboot,then open link2sd and now you've got your fat 32 lol

Won't that have moved his apps to a fat32 partition?
If I'm reading this correctly what the OP wants is to move his apps to NAND so he can format his sd card to its full capacity in FAT32, presumably so he can use it as a normal SD card (eg for a camera, moving files etc)
I personally use a very popular app called DarkTremors Apps2SD GUI, it comes preinstalled on a lot of custom ROMS. This app checks where your apps are when you launch it, and gives you the option to either move them to SD-EXT or back again. Launch APPS2SDGUI, let it check your system, then click 'Apps are on SD!' to move them back to NAND.
P.S. I don't think you can wipe the SD-EXT partition off the SD card using Windows' built-in formatter. There are lots of freeware apps that can and will do this though, google is your friend =]

@Ty5982, unfortunately it didn't work. It went badly and I lost the apps in sd-ext so I ended up restoring them..
@jwchips, thanks! Will try that one instead. Yep, I've read about the tools/apps that can be used to partition/format storage devices with EXT. Thanks again.

well i would recommend tu have 2 partitions, ext and fat. Just to be safe or prapared in case your want to try a different rom. Nowadayes almost every rom uses ext partition. And you won't run out of space, if you install some more apps.

I see. Thanks! Currently I have a 512MB EXT partition on my SD card. I thought I'd be able to choose which apps to move there but it seems my ROM automatically symlinks the apps installed to the EXT partition.
So I decided I want to just install the apps to NAND since I don't really install a lot of apps and I'm using a TMOUS HD2, just for an extra boost in performance compared to when apps are installed to SD-EXT. Then I'll just selectively move apps to SD.

Hi, I hope you guys are still around, I´ve been looking for an answer and can´t find anything, heres the question I posted on another thread:
I´ve been having trouble with my phone freezing even after full wipes, so I´ve come to the conclusion my sdcard is corrupt.
So I want to go through the Gparted process to format and re-partition my sdcard.
Currently I have 16GB class 6, which has the recommended FAT32 and 1GB ext4.
Is it safe (or even possible) to format the sd card now. I tried with Gparted and only the FAT32 partition showed up???
The rom is runnymede aio which requires the ext4
Thanks

be sure to format both partitions as primary.
I have installed MIUI.us-Leo-2.4.27-HWA.ZIP in to my HTC HD2. Everything is working fine except Camera and phones internal memory is very low, only 25MB resulting cannot update any existing applications.
My phones total internal memory memory is 151MB and available is only 25MB.
SD card total space is 15GB and available is 9GB which is fine.
Total downloaded applications are 26 only, so it is not that I have too many application downloaded.
I moved most of the downloaded and other applications to SD card by using titanium backup. Few could not be moved for unknown reason as it does not give me option to move.
Can anyone please help me to increase my internal memory to at least at 70 or 60MB please.
Would appreciate your help.

i have used a few MIUI roms & did not have that problem
what is the data.img that you used?
are you using NAND rom? in that case what was the size of the partition you used, did you follow the recommended size?

Yes, it is NAND ROM. The recommended partition was above 200mb and I used 250mb, so it was okay.
All I need to increase my internal space at least to 60 or 70mb so that application update can be done.
Many thanks
The ROM suggested 200, but you installed 250. You just lost 50 worth o internal storage.
You'll need to install an A2SD script, in order to be able to use your sd card as an internal storage. (of course, after making an ext2 partition )

Marvlesz, I looked for 200MB partition but could not find anywhere. That's why I installed 250MB. There are only 3 options they gave which is 150MB, 250MB & 400MB. Please suggest me in details how I would be able to do ext2 or ext4 using A2SD
