[Q] internal storage - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

For some reason I don't have much memory left in my internal storage.
Already moved almost every app to SD.
What do i do?

Get a TMO US 1024 HD2
What rom are you running? Many of the later builds now incorporate a2sd+ or data2ext which frees up more space. This however involves having to partition your sd card. Check the threads out that have these terms in their titles.

2.2 NAND.
What is TMO US 1024 HD2?
This is getting pretty annoying though. Moved every app to SD, can't install a game because the internal storage is low.
I found a thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908528
But what are they? Noob here, don't know anything about such things... Is it a rom? Is it as stable as Android nand 2.2? Do I need to start from scratch to install it?

2.2 NAND, but which one? There are many roms using 2.2 NAND.
There are 2 types of HD2, the standard one had 512mb memory and there is a T Mobile USA HD2 which has double ie 1024mb memory.
Yes, that rom is a 2.2 NAND rom (based on Desire HD build). Read the instructions carefully on the first post of that thread and you will have plenty of onboard memory left. You can also try the rom linked in my signature. I still have about 700mb left (I have a 1gb partition on my sd card for the data and apps) after installing a heap of apps.
You will need to start again as that rom uses a different installation method ie CWM instead of using daf.exe to flash via usb.

So I lose all my apps that are installed on the SD currently?
Apparently the internal memory on my HD2 is 119 Mb.
I'm surprised that it only has 119 mb total though. It is showing that on Titanium backup. Can't view the total internal storage size normally. Or did this happen due to that rom?

Weird stuff...

Hi,
No, its not weird. Since european HD2 has only 512MB internal memory, so if you flash a rom it takes about half of your internal storage (depend on a rom you will use). In my case I had only 150mb after flash a rom and partition layout for CWM. That is why I use app2sd+ and installed all apps to sd card's extended partition and moved dalvik cache also to sd and now I have over 160MB free and all apps installed, including some games as well. If you are low on internal storage, you should try that.

That is the very first NAND rom that was released and was more of a poc than anything else. Yes, it is probably normal after installing that rom that there is little space for apps on internal memory. Even if you use an app like App2sd, you are limited in terms of what can be moved. Try one of the more recent roms which allow you to partition your sd card and have that recognised by the rom as internal memory. That way you can have 1gb memory and no more problems. You can take a backup of your apps and restore them (apps only) after flashing the new rom.

Use Titanium Backup or My Backup Root (both available from the market). If your rom is not rooted you will need to use z4root to root the rom first.

It's OK, every build is using different size of the memory.
How much free memory does it show?
Total 253mb
Free 131mb
It's MIUI build
But how can i chick what is the size of my internal memory.
No that is about right, you are lucky that is pretty good for EU HD2.
P.S this is not a question thread
Sent from my 1GB T-MOBILE HTC HD2 using XDA App xD
I recall at sometime in the past Android on HD2 could only use 384M stabley, dunno if this has been upped since???
EDIT: If the OP is talking about ROM then ignore what I said above.
Edit: Never mind, not thinking clearly

NAND is now partitioned, internal memory in Android only shows you how much left of and total size of the data partition.
You also have a system partition which is around 100mb for MIUI/CM/AOSP builds and about 200MB+ for Desire ROMs.

It is 512 - mine too
Just that miui is taking some part for the system to install.
This is not SD or RAM build, so you have to deal with what you have.
you can try this and install on SD:
Root your HD2 Android phone by donwloading z4root.apk.
Download and install ModInstallLocation.
In Superuser app, allow ModInstallLocation app.
In ModInstallLocation app choose location 2 (SD Card) and save
Maybe restart can't remember.
From now on any app you download will AUTOMATICALLY be installed on SD card. Also you can move your existing apps from Phone to SD in the Application settings.

it still takes up memory in the internal storage. Not the whole app gets transfered.
I got 65 user apps and games installed (according to TI backup) and have 125mb left. Got tons of more games i would like to play, but to chose freedom of not being dependent on the SD card, ill compromise.

Check out this, this may help!!!
I'm not running your rom, but if it helps I can show you what's taking up the space on my jdms rom. This is on 1024 leo
/system - 146mb
/data - 742mb
/cache - 40mb
So 1024-146-742-40 = 96mb used by radio, hardspl and magldr. 72mb if you include the 24mb of questionable space you can squeeze out of magldr.
Although I'm not entirely sure how the 1024mb is calculated in the first place. Memory and storage people tend to like to use 1,024,000,000 bytes as 1024mb, if that's the case then radio, hardspl, magldr + 24mb would only take up 48mb (that actually sounds more right to me).
jep, at 512leo it's like ~ 90mb system.img, 5mb boot.img, rest of 282 in my case (custom modified cm build) "data.img".
if cwm installed 5mb recovery, 1m misc, 32mb cache.
90+5+5+1+32+282 = 415, rest is used by bootloader, hspl, radio, firmware itself etc.

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

Increase HD2 internal memory

hi guys new user of HTC HD2 here (previous motorola defy user)
so I got this phone yesterday thru swapping, and this phone is awesome, but I was rather disappointed with the internal memory. Mines got 186mb of application space so I always get memory full prompts. I know there is a mod to increase the size.
I flashed paranoid android this morning and boy is it good looking
I just want to increase my internal memory and Id be happy with it
what's the maximum I can a lot to it?

OK first things first,
Are you familiar with the 'stuff' of the HD2? MAGLDR bootloader, ClockworkMod Recovery(CWM)? sd-ext partitions?
well I'm trying to learn this terms but this is gonna take a while I think,
the Previous owner has installed magdlr 1.13 and clockworkmod and I have flashed paranoid android rom this morning. So I do have a recovery
sd-ext partion not so much
**okay okay, you will need to do a lot of research about your device and using it to its full potential; too much that it can't be explained within one post **
but here is a method I found in xda of performing a sd-ext partition within cwm:
> GO to advance and then partition SD card
> Remember this will wipe the sd card so back everything up if need be
> Choose how much space you want, 1024mb is recommended, on the partition then then choose 0MB for swap
>PLEASE NOTE PARTITIONING WILL WIPE THE SD CARD!
>and hey presto your done
> from here you can install link2sd and your set to go. -note, you will need to read about link2sd before use. just search it
There are many benifits of this using EXT-Partition such as you apps will automatically transfer to your partition meaning you will free space on your internal storage!
apologies if there's any misinformation there, quite tired :$
Sent from space..
ah I see, so basically the sd card will be detected as and internal card and I won't face memory full errors whenever uninstalling?
but I can just use link2sd app to transfer apps to sd card manually right?
I was wondering why I only have 186mb of internal memory wherein in GSM arena it says at least 512mb.
what I want to do is a phone modification to increase it, just in case the sd card was corrupted, I still have my apps on the phone memory
thanks for the reply though, if you can add something feel free :victory:

It says 186Mb because when you flash CWM, you also partition your NAND to run Android. Essentially, the storage you get is 512Mb-CWM partition size, although normally it's lower as there are probably things other than this installed to the NAND.
Thank you

Well it depends on the partition size you're currently using. If it's already the minimum for your ROM then no you can't increase the storage by repartitioning the NAND, but if it's any more than the minimum then you can increase this, by reflashing recovery with the correct size. Make a full backup in CWM first though.
so I reflashed 150MB recovery partition and flashed AOKP build by xylograph
now I have 217MB of internal memory
what should I flash so I can have more space?
the less is your recovery partition - more internal memory you get. Minimal recovery partition can be about 100 mb for some light roms I belive. So you can get 50 more mb than you hav now.
You've mentioned 300mb earlier, even if you get your desired 300mb it's gonna get filled up very soon.
I would advise you as was mentioned above to borrow 1gb from your sd card for sd-ext partition. Most of the roms support from the box (without intsalling any additional apps or scripts) sd-ext partition and install apps by default on that partiotion, Paranoid Android does, for instance, actually 80% of the roms do as well...
I don't know if it means anything, but you could look into a US HD2. Its got 1024 mb internal memory! That's double!
ok maybe ill experiment with this sd-ext partition
never had to deal with tgis when I was on defy
try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661892
I installed AOKP in NAND & had only a few 100mb's available, I just used Link2SD & moved most apps/ games to SD. SD has no ext. part. yet. will do it latter when i get a 32gig card, now just testing a 4gig SD

[Q] Not enough internal storage

Like everyone here, I have the famous HTC Leo. A friend installed Android on NAND, the 2.3.4 with the mod-HyperDroid CM7-v2.1.0.
This is a great device, but the more I use it, the more I have less internal memory.
At first, I installed a lot of applications, I was full of things and I ended up filling the internal memory. I moved the more applications possible on the SD card, but the internal memory ended up being full. So I uninstalled applications not too useful, and applications more useful, clean caches, remove data, but it is still too small. My system tells me that I only have 217.3 Mb total internal memory and while I hardly more than application system installed, I only have 21.3 MB available. Now, I know that this model has double.
I do not understand: what is this devilry? Where is my memory? How can I resume normal operation until all the memory is gone and my phone becomes unusable?
I can't be the only one to whom it happens, right?
only the data partition counts as internal memory, the rest is taken by the system, boot and recovery partitions, so your200+ sounds about right.
read up on creating an ext partition on your sd card, and either flash a rom that supports it already, or add a script to your current rom, , then, instead of using the data partition on the nand the system will use the sd-ext partition as if it were nand. (This is NOT the same as choosing 'move to sd' in the apps config screens, that moves it to the fat partition, and some apps wont work from there, , , all apps will work from the ext partition, and faster than the fat partition.)
There are two sets of scripts, some move the whole data partition to ext, meaning of course you are not using the 200+ mb on the nand, so for me i prefer the scripts that move only the apps to the ext partition, and keeps your actual data (txts, contacts, stuff like that) on the regular nand data partition, thus spreading the useage.
look out for keywords like 'app2sd+' 'data2ext' 'dataonext', , stuff like that when you're searching.

So, I don't really need to use this. I just can install a new ROM on my NAND after making extending place on my SD for the 'dataonext', can't I?
I have to choose a dataonext ROM (with french version) and make new partition on my CD card. I'm saving all the SD card data's just now (with luckyBackup, because I'm on ubuntu PC).
My problem is find a good ROM for my needs. So, I have HSPL 2.0.8 and MAGLDR. How can I find the rom radio number? I need this information to choose the good ROM. Any advices about good ROM for my needs?
r no need to change the radio,,, if magldr works then the radio is fine.

I bought a new 16 GB SD card to try the method of post 1843062. I am trying to format as it should, and tonight or tomorrow, I'm trying to see if I can install the script without too much risk, I am not a very experienced user of ROM for HD2 and, in addition, as I'm 100% Linux Ubuntu, I saw that many procedures are more complicated or impossible to run from a Linux desktop.
Thank you for all your help and I'll let you know.
I need to understand.
I have a EU HD2 with HyperDroid CM7 installed on it.
Like many people here, my memory became too small over time. So I look for a solution and I was guided to this thread. While speaking, I read everything I could understand (and frankly there really is too much to read and understand, here ) and I ended up deciding to adopt the solution Kokotas.
So I bought a new SD card (16GB class 10 Duracell - I know, Duracell is a brand of batteries ...) and I formatted properly Gparted as shown, with one primary partition of 12 GB fat32 I named /données (French for datas) and a second primary partition 4 GB Ext4 I named /data.
Then I primed to install the script Kokotas (but I have not yet done so, this is the trick!) And there: surprise!
I suddenly 4 times more free memory internally (from 20 MB to 80 MB), but it is still the same overall size!
I wonder how it is done, because it's been months that I want to release the NAND memory, I deleted almost all my applications downloaded without great effect and there, before installing the solution Kokotas, hop, I have the place!
I run Nautilus on my HD2 connected via USB and what do I see? in the partition /data in ext4, records were Cres /app /app-private and /dalvik-cache.
What does that mean? My ROM can do one DATAtoEXT 2011 alone, when she sees a partition SD / data?
Do I install the script Kokotas or it is not worth it?
Do I flash a new ROM (I thought MIUI-MIX_3.3.1, but I'm not sure it's a good idea) without risk, in short I need to understand what happens with my phone.
Thank you.
(Sorry for my english : this is the fault of Google translation )
You might also consider just running an SD build instead of NAND. You can get a 2GB "internal storage" system.img and you don't risk getting bad blocks on nand by constantly flashing things. In my use of both I didn't really see any great speed increase or advantage in using NAND other than boot-up time is a bit less, but does that really matter?
Just another thought on this.

ROM flashing don't work
I tried to flash MIUI-MIX_3.3.1, but, it wasn't working. I think this is because Resurection needs this specific table of partition and I don't how can I modify this table of partition. CMW had a partition tool? How can I do?

[Q] HD2 EU/International

Hi Guys,
A friend of mine has handed me a HD2 to install android on. I did it on a US version a couple of years ago. For the EU/International version if he wants a basic ICS or Jellybean rom whats the average system partition and cache size to use? I know it varies from rom to rom, but if I was to go for the NexusHD2 roms what would you recommend.
He also has a 8GB SD Card, so roughly what size should I partition that to? He would definitely rather a NAND rather than SD version. Then I guess once up and running it's just a case of using something like Apps2SD to get the apps on the SD card?
Thanks for the help
if it's eu, it's very hard, if not impossible, to install and run ics/jb roms on nand only. why not just go with dataonext? better than app2sd scripts, you could have 400mb system partition and 1-2gb or 512mb ext4 partition for data. that would be IMO very easy and beter solution than nand only on eu.

Hi Guys,
A friend of mine has handed me a HD2 to install android on. I did it on a US version a couple of years ago.

you can install a stock ICS or JB rom with non extra apps inside. The problem with EU and Nand install is the install of your apps. this apps is only in system/apps and with this install your phone is very slow and have reboots. for the EU HD2 is better the nativeSD or DataOnEXT install. for this install methods you must have a fast SD Card with two Partitions. the first is the FAT32/cluster default/primary and the second is the EXT4/cluster default/primary
