How is this possible? I only have a few zips on there yet I only have 708 mb left on there. Is this normal or what should I do to clean up
I started off with 10GB free, if that's any clue to how much you've used.

Because there are some apps that you cant simply move to the ext partition and have to be installed on internal memory i.e. gmail, youtube and updates!
yes I know that! thank you ...but I hade all that apps when installed new rom...3days internal phone memoty was 161mb and after that installed only games (apps 2 sd always aksked me to move to sd and succesfully moved them)..on phone list apps is onlu market and 3gwatchdog...on SD apps list is everything i downloaded but still dont have 161mb ...now there is 142mb and still shrinking!!! How about now???
app2sd or similar isn't moving all app-data to sd I think

Yes,but moveSD enabler does. App2SD only ask for some app's
the "problem" is, move2sd creates a sort of "link" to the data on the SD card. Thus, when you install lets say an app of 15MB, 14MB goes to the SD card, but 1MB of data (files that can't be run of the SD card + link to SD card) stays on your internal phone memory.
So when you install lets say 100 apps, that all have 1MB of essential data and 14 MB of move-to-sd-able data your internal storage shrinks by 100MB and your SD cards' storage shrinks by 1400MB.
Its shrinking because app data is still stored on internal memory.
Please post in correct section. This has nothing to do with development.

Finally wright answer . . .
it says not enough memory.is it same for you too?
I haven't had this on the SGS2 as it has 16GB of internal memory but if you're having trouble then download something like this which will allow you to move all apps to sd.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&feature=search_result
Failing that use the ADB script that is floating around on the forum.
Just make sure you don't move widgets or live wallpapers to the SD card or they won't work at startup.
app2sd didnt work.it is still same.and when i checked my phones storage it shows:
total space: 11.50gb
why not 16gb?
Some space is reserved for System data, some space is reserved for Personal data, and some space is reserved for Application data, so you only end up with about 11GB of usable space. I know this to be the case for the Tab so I presume it'll be the same for the SGS2.
I also believe you need root access to use stuff like app2sd?

Because there is space reserved for the ROM/OS and for Apps. 11.50GB is the internal SD. You also have about 2GB of space for apps. And some space is for the OS I believe.
i see.maybe that not enough error because of,system doesnt see the 11gb phone storage as an external storage and it means you dont have an sdcard so you dont have enough space?
I don't have an SGS2, but as I believe it is pretty much the same as the SGS1 which I do have.
apps2SD is for moving apps to a removable SD card. If you don't have an SD card in how do you expect to move to it?
The internal SD card is partitioned into several drives, for the rom, cache and includes a 2GB drive for installing applications to. After this it has about 11.5GB left for personal use, eg music, pictures, whatever. None of these partitions are considered the external SD.
Personally, I have never found a need to actually use apps2sd on the original and I can't see much need on the S2.
My nook has 7.0.3 encore stable, 4 GB card, and I was wondering if there was a way to increase the SD card space in Android to greater than 39 MB.
On my computer, I did extend the partition, but the extended area shows up as the internal storage, and I need the SD card space for some apps.
thanks
R u running CM7 from eMMC or booting it off uSD?
Do pls indicate clearly
I am booting CM7 off of the uSD card
If so, you should have at least 110MB+ space on "boot", roughly about 1GB for /data and /system and the rest, probably 2GB+ left over, for your own use.
Use a tool such as Minitool Partition Wizard, to extend the 4th partition on your SD card all the way to the max. You should get roughly over 3 GB of space on a 4GB card when running off uSD.
what I'm talking about is the "virtual" SD card that android recognizes. I did extend the fourth partition, but the space for my stuff goes under internal storage. is there a way I can make some of that space go under SD card that android recognizes?
did you ever get an answer or figure this out? I have been searching for 2 days and cannot find info on which partition CM7 thinks is "the phone" for the purpose of installing apps. I get 2-3 on then it says I am out of space.
Yes, when I used a 32 gB card, the internal storgae partition was about one gb, and my SD card partition (inside android) was 28 gb
So I guess it would depend on the sizeof your SD card?
Thanks for this thread guys!!
Minitool partition allowed me to upgrade my 8Gb microSD to at 32Gb microSD.
Now I can REALLY load those PDFs, ebooks, and music onto my Nookcolor's Android C7.
Hi Iknow plenty has been said about this subject but I have completed the following but still get message not enough space:
Partitioned SDcard
Downloaded both link2sd and Titanium backup
Moved and lnked all apps to sd
LINK2SD tells me only link2sd on internal
Power tuner working
Storage info as follows
INTERNAL total 146MB! used 128MB! Free 19MB
SD card 81% free
Sd partition 98% free
System 0% free, ROM takes this
Why have I only 19MB free on internal, does not make sense:
Total internal only includes the data partition, so let's say youflash a 300 mb system partition,that leaves 212 for the boot and recovery and cache and data partitions,meaning around 190 total internal storage.
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!.
