Can anyone recommend a rom with lots of internal space

I'm currently using CMYLXGO stock desire rom and i love it but the last few days ive been getting a low memory icon. I look and my phone says 90%. Wierd cause ive deleted many apps and have app2sd as well. I dont know if its me or the rom but I was wondering if anyone can recommend a rom that offers lots of space for apps. For some reason while the icon is up I dont even get emails. If anyone is using app2sd i have a question. When i click on the "phone only" tab it says 21 apps but on the moveable tab it says "no moveable applications found". And on my sd tab it says only 9 apps. How do I move those phone apps to my sd? Maybe that'll clear space.

If your using SD android, (i dont know about nand or ram) Search for toporesize in xda, find [app]windows resize data img maker thread and download the app, then just follow the instructions but backup your img first and don't resize to bigger than 2048mb(2gb).
Then you have larger internal memory with the same rom!

I beleive so. Its a zip on my sd card, if thats what you mean

Ok sorry. I just searched for it and it is nand. Different filesystem setups.
I only use SD card builds so I can still use winmo if I like.
Looking at the thread for your build you need partitions or something.
In which case I'd recommend the rom in my signature.
Sorry for the mix up.

Oh my, I'm loving the look of coredroid but need to research to mke sure it works for tmous and most importantly how to install. Not very savy when it comes to this. Off to read I go...

There's a special version for TMOUS and everything is explained so you cannot make a mistake
Enjoy the power dude!!!!!!!!!!!!

so it seems the instructions are cut and dry. One question it doesnt answer. Should I take all my current rom zips out of my sd?

Unless you absolutely positively need sense, I would recommend and AOSP build like this lightning fast gingerbread build: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918899
sense builds will always tend towards the bloated side. The system partition on the gingerbread build i linked only takes up about 125 mb. vs the 400mb partition that cmylxgo's dhd build takes up

so i went with coredroid and so far so good. I wanna thank you guys for all the suggestions you've provided

Use wipe data/cache (factory reset ) option in CWM . Make sure you install a rom after that

Just do wipe data from cwm recovery and flash the new rom. If im not wrong you only have to flash ext4 patch for an ext4 rom but not the other way around. Tbh i didnt find any major difference between ext3 and ext4.

Thanks Guys i thought as much but wanted to make sure. No i never noticed any major differences between them but i want to flash Honeysense 4.0 when it's uploaded and it's ext3. Gotta love Honeysense!!! Big ups to Samuel!!!!! Just a few more posts then i can post on the dev area's of the forum. Silly rule!

Haha me too. Got what i think is a bug in tb fusion rom so trying to get my posts up so i can post it in the dev forum. Might give honeysense a go actually while the bug gets fixed.

Honeysense is quite good
but im waiting for the EXT4 version now.. please come out tonight

Yeah the ext4 version should be cool the new rosie is excellent and mattes new swype keyboard he is developing looks to be his best work yet!
Sent from my DHD on Honeysense through the XDA App! Take it easy!

Honeysense HD EXT 4 come out already

A question from me, so if coming from ext 4 you just do a full wipe in CWM (system, data, cache and then factory reset) then install the ext 3 ROM.
But what if your on ext 3 and want to try a ext 4 ROM what is the procedure ?

If u want to go to ext4 rom, u run first full wipe ext4 1.5 and then the rom.U will find full wipe zip in every ext4 rom in addons.

And since there is a thread already, here is my question...
What is ext3 and ext4 ?
What it does?

yeah i'm also curious to know the difference..

After searching google I finally found something!
ext4 - Wikipedia
ext3 - Wikipedia
ext2 - Wikipedia
Is different ways to partition the SD Card but what are the differences exactly and what are the pros or cons for our phone I have no idea, at least not yet

This is not true! This is not concern SD card.
If you use EXT 4 in your phone, for example using rom ARHD 5.1.11 which is build on EXT 4 , your device will work much better, and SD card stay untouch.

So does the ext4 format speed up the usage or not? AND is it noticeable or not?
Because in nearly every update for roms they write speed improvements, but I don't really notice them.

I think the speed improvements are quite minimal but noticeable, after formating everything to ext4, i noticed a smoother handling.
So why not trying out and test a little bit? It works, dont worry The newest LordMOD UE Kernel for example has many ext4 patches inclusive.
Sry for my bad english =)
Forgot to say: I use CM #108 with LordMOD UE 4.5.1 Kernel and newest Radio, works like a charm

+1 for this thread answered all my ext4 questions in one place

Ext4 Roms

What are some of the roms in the mytouch 4g thread that support appstoext4, currently using a zip file that supports apps2sd (thanks to that dev) but i do prefer using the ext partition. I also prefer aosp to sense, but if there are some sense roms that support apps2ext i will def check them out. Thanks for looking @ my thread and any information is welcome

Why would you need the ext partition in MT4G? ~1GB of internal RAM isn't good enough?
And if you're talking about reformatting /data with EXT4, why is it of any concern?

No, 1gb of ram is not enough for everyone especially me. I have tons of apps/games i install to my phone and the only way i can do this atm is with apps2sd which is decent, but having them installed to an ext4 partition makes them run faster then if they were on sdcard. It's ok i understand why you would think 1gb of ram is enough.

If you're installing the downloaded part of the game on the internal memory (it's not RAM, my mistake - it's probably best to refer to as just internal memory), I can understand why.
In any case, the solution might be to use A2SD by DarkTremor on any ROM that you like, which you're probably doing already. I don't think many ROMs bother to support A2SD initially, since the demand for it is very small.

Ya, using dark tremors flashable zip for the moment until i can either find a rom that supports apps2ext(4) or someone educates me on which rom does support it lol Either way problem is very temporary anyways since my upgradeis in August...tho i may just wait till the Hercules or Nexus 3 come out since my last phone was a g1. This MT4G i got from craigslist with a sweet deal and blows away the g1 haha

Please Read this. Quick answers would be appreciated.

I am using the Stock JPS firmware with no Mod and want to know is there any app for Partitioning a SD Card? Please help me soon. I have a 8 GB SDHC Card and want to partition 2 GB for Apps.
Please See- I dont want to migrate to any custom ROM for CWM I want to stick to Stock JPS.
Also I want to know does the Stock Samsung Kernel support loop devices? Asking because I want to Run Ubuntu on my I5801.
Kindly reply soon. Thanks in advance. Waiting for reply.

You can partition using minitools partition wizard. And then you can use Kyrillos' App2SD v2 script to move apps to SD.

Any links for Kyrillos App2SD Script?

i don't think you can use app2sd as it needs a kernel that supports init.d scripts... Stock kernel doesn't so all you can do is:
1) switch to a modded kernel
2) download app2sd app (or somethink similar) from market to move apps to sd
However, i suggest to wait for someone wih more knowledge to answer.

thanks a lot..

Yup. You do need a custom kernel which supports init.d. App2SD script here.

thanks a lot but i have my work done.. Got a app on android market - root all to sd.. .I think it will work...

[Kernel]Dual Boot Roms - Kernel & Instruction Online

Hello,
I'm successfully booting a second Rom on my SD Card. Here is what I did
- Build custom ICS kernel. Source from SpeedMod K3-3
- Make a copy of current rom and put on SD card.
- Boot the rom on the SD Card using the custom kernel
I'm currently testing a function to switch the rom by pressing the home/or any key button during boot.
I'll post the kernel and instruction how to setup a rom on the SD card soon.

I'm liking the sound of this.....
Not sent from an I phone....cos I'm not a fanny.

I'm sorry, but placeholders aren't allowed in Development. When you're ready to post with files, links, etc. you can then open up a thread in Development.

Sounds good.

Update: Sorry guys, I've been busy, so I couldn't have enough time to write the instruction. It's very easy to set up with my scripts.
1. Install any ICS rom - flash the rom like you've been doing. (be careful about EMMC brick, please don't wipe using unsafe kernel, even if you are on my modified kernel)
2. Flash my scripts using CWM to copy current rom to the SD card.
3. Flash My modified speedmod ICS K3-3
4. Reboot
Please note that, this method only works if both roms are ICS. It will not work if you have one rom is GB and one rom is ICS. Unless, somebody can make a kernel that works for both GB and ICS.
I'm test couple of changes to the config file before upload the script & kernel.

wow great
please post some videos too

Looks promissing
A rom to be used on work and another to use at home *_*
Will the apps be shared between the roms?

Good idea, that's what I'm trying to do. I have a init script that you can use the same application file to save space. It's working on my old roms. I've not tested it with ICS roms. I got a lot of force closes when I try to share both apk and data.
