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.

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

[Q] what is best rooting method for me??

hi, im new signing up here and i've been look all over this site but i just can't find out what i wanna Really know
I'm looking into Rooting my B&N Nook Color (1.2.0) with a 8GB Class 6 Micro SD and i have looked all over to find out what rooting method & program is best but i still can't figure it out. so can anyone give me some Real In-Depth details to this.....
here is what i wanna do:
1-Watch Online Videos(youtube and so-on)
2-Message people online (i.e.: IM's, text message or yahoo mail messenger)
3-Play Music (online or mp3s)
4-Play Apps/Games
5-and of course Web Browsing
if someone can please provide some In-Depth Details to what is the best rooting method for what i wanna do i will be very thankful and i will Rep
Please and thanks!

When you said "Rooting my B&N Nook Color (1.2.0)", you actually have no choice but only one option, that is using ManuallyNook, with whatever version, sorry can't help since I didn't root my device.
Other options are installing and running CM7 or the a-like onto eMMC (aka internal memory) or from an external uSD card.

thank you for your reply and i did say thanks/rep
but i know there are things like.....
Froyo (Android 2.2), Honeycomb (Android 3.0 & 3.1), CM7 and ManualNooter 4.6.16 and i just have no idea what would work best for what i want

If you don't care about the stock OS cm7 is the best way to go.

Use the SD card method by verygreen. Get yourself a class 2. 8 gig sandisk and boot cm7. This way here if ( and I use if lightly) you want to revert back to stock just remove the card. Verygreens post can be found on the development page under size agnostic.

1. Froyo, HC are OS
2. CM7 is Gingerbread-based OS, custom ROM.
3. ManualNooter is a tool to unlock the NC stock OS
So, if you want to keep and use the stock OS (in this case, Froyo) and want to utilize its full capability, you then "unlock" it using ManualNooter.
If you don't care about the stock OS, you then can install/running other custom ROM such CM7, HC, ...

NAND vs. SD method

Hi
A friend of mine asked me if I could put Android on his HD2 as he bought one with German language and he doesn't understand anything at all. Now we wan't to completely remove Windows Mobile 6.5.x from the phone and install Android. ICS with HTC sense is prefered but and older version will also do.
I have found multiple tutorials, but I wonder which method is the best. NAND or SD?
At this point in time we don't have any SD-card in the phone, so I asume the Sd method isn't usable. But which method and ROM is the best to use if we want to be able to switch language and want Android experience as close to the HTC android phones as possible.
Are there any bugs with the HD2 in Android? I've heard that there should be problems with the sound when calling people, and the data-connection should be unstable as well. Are these rumors still current or have they been solved?

Ok. First of all, Nand is the better of the two. As your friend want to COMPLETELY remove winmo6.5 its better to use NAND. Currently there is no ICS sense rom but the sense gingerbread roms work very smoothly with all features working. So you may want to try that. And dont worry you can change language from german to english. You basically select english at the startup setup.
One more thing. Even when installing the NAND version of android you will need a sd-card. The rom is a .zip file which must be copied to the sd card and this rom will be installed on the phones internal memory hence: NAND.
Hope it helps
Feel free to ask but i suggest you search it first and read more, because clearly you are lacking information

Thanks for the quick reply. I will read further on how to install using NAND method. But how big should the SD-card be. As said he doesn't have a SD-card in his phone. I have one but it's only 128MB, so not a whole lot. If the phone was using the MiniSD cards instead of microSD I had a 1GB card. But isn't it possible to get a Gingerbread HTC Sense ROM and then extract and repack it on the PC so it can fit the 128MB card. Or are the packed ROM's small enough to fit on a 128MB card?

Tell your friend to invest in about 4GB or more, once you've got a few apps, video video clips, music files and recovery backups then the 4GB will be eaten fairly fast imo. If you grab a class 6 card you can get one for less then $1/GB (aud).

Dont forget the thanks button
Anyways, basically the sd card is used to put the rom in and all music, pics, apps etc. will be stored on the sd card. plus, the 128 mb card will not hold the rom. Some files of the rom are installed on the sd card as well(some) so yeah, like the above user said, invest in a class 4 sd card with a fairly high amount of memory.

try the link below, it could give you an idea

You will need an SD card anyhow as mentioned before. Not only for flashing it to Nand, also some ROMs needs an ext(2 or 3) partition on the SD card. Specially when it's an EU device as yours might seems.
F.e.: I got an EU model and the great Energy ROM running - this needs a 1Gb ext(2 or 3) partition on the SD card!
-> It depends on the ROM of your choice.
Right now, I guess there is now ICS ROM with sense out there - or an I wrong?
I can definetly recommend the NRG ROM as this one runs really great. There is also a very good lashing instruction in its thread.
Good luck :good:

Ooh, ooh, me too!!

I also want to completely remove winmo6.5 from my wife's stock UK HTC HD2 and put some form of Android OS on it so I can then get her Ovivo Mobile mobile connection to work (I'm not bothered about dual boot functionality). Could you quickly link to a guide you would recommend to do this ("Thanks" will always be given :good: ).
(Note: I had an HD2 once, and bricked it after 9 months of ownership with a dodgy radio, so I'm a bit once-bitten-twice-shy about doing it).

I am in big trouble with installing games right now, they kill my android, I mean kill really, after installing few best games, which I really want to play, my android drain the battery in 12 hours and even when he have enough battery he crash and after that he do not turn on anymore!
To start use the phone I have to install a backup to original to run it again.
Someone know something about that?
How it is possible and HOW AVOID THIS AND INSTALL ANY GAME?
Help.:crying:

Is your phone a tmo or eu? Are you using an a2sd script? is it just with games or it's about apps in general?

hey, my phone is TMO, I am new to android and I am astonished what Android can run without changing hardware but you ask me to much, I don't know what it's a2sd script and is first time I think about it! How can I know which I have?
After installation I start installing games and I got problems so I can't confirm right now if I have the same issue with apps too, that will be a massive problem!
What can I do to let you help me?

This never happened with games, I was able to play with few games but when I leaved the phone in standby he crashed by him self.
Where is the problem?

You have a tmo, so forget about the a2sd script.
Which bootloader do you have (clk or magldr) ? and what rom are you using ? and what is your recovery partition.
P.S.: Was it you who installed Android on it or you bought it already installed/let someone do it for you?

Ok, I do not have CLK ot MAGLDR, I downloaded Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3Revolution, kernel Hastarin 7.7, Android 2.2 but they call 2.3 for from last update. I do not use recovery partition because there are not partitions, all is on sd fat32 partition, basicly old stuff, but I like the rom. I put all the package folder (Android) into my sd, the type Android is based on rootfs.img, and I run it from Windows Mobile 6.5 with Android Launcher. First time he boot in 10 minuts because he had to made the fresh data.img of 1024MB. After he boot I reboot 3 times and he working very well, the problem comming when I try to install app or games, fully sure.

Any idea?

Hmmm .. to be honest with you, the last time I used an sd-build was about 2 years ago. I do not know what may cause such an issue. It could be the sd-card's partition since you are unable to "write data" to the "data.img" file. Or it could be a problem with that particular build.
Can you try the same build on a different sd card?
I remember having some problems, and a format of my sd-card usually solved them. (due to leftovers from previous roms) << you can try this one as well.
I am sorry, I am not experienced in sd-roms.

I was thinking exactly about do that, I got now the last Sandisk Micro SDHC 32GB Class 10 and I am unhappy because she don't work well from the first time. The first day I put the OS Android into this card he never turned on. I formatted the card with CMD and the card start working a little bit faster than before but not really well, also Android start working. Today I already paid for Samsung 32GB Class 10.
But what if I change the card and I will have same problems?

or the program will be installed wrong and will never work. So why the Games working and also Android still working after installing few games and he crash leater? data.img compromised?

Since you are running sd builds(you didn't tell me anything about that) it's you card problem. Try deleting everything from .android secure(you're now losing apps from previous rom) because I think that the new rom is trying to overwrite the old one. I was using sd build but this problem is totally unfamiliar with me.
Anyway, install android on your HD2 on NAND, strongly recommended, or native sd since you mentioned that you have class 10 sd card.
I can give you a great tutorial that I've found on youtube if you want, or search the xda, there are a few good ones.

Sorry, I don't know how to define all the Android build so I get confused. Now I should know, SD Builds are the OS like mine on sd fat32, Native SD are the OS on partition ext4 and they can be installed with MALGRD, ok, and NAND are flashed on ROM. Too many thing for me to learn and also my english is not so good.

No way, I hope you understand , I try to make it work but I alrady paid today for another one HTC HD2 , so 1 I use daily with Windows Mobile 6.5 and the "new" one when comes I try to make it work with Android.
AND, when I finally will understud how to have 2 OS on 1 HD2 perhaps I am happy. :fingers-crossed:

Ok, Guys, problem solved, was the microSD!
Yes, the crap Sandisk Class 10 (28mb/s in Read, 15mb/s in Writing) this time let me down, I changed the sd and the Android do not crash anymore and I can install apps and games also.
The battery life,is not so long but this actually can be resolved too, I will try new Androids anyway to find the best set-ups for me.
Thanks for all the support and and tips.

[Q] low internal memory in the new nand roms ?!

Hi Guys
I am in a really deep problem so I will explain as much as I can
I have the EU htc hd2 and I tried so many roms from xda threads
first I was happy that my phone can run android (it was froyo 2.2 by the way)
I had big internal memory fast performance everything
Now I have a huge problem I want to install the new roms like 4.0 , 4.1 and 4.2
But I can't install it on nand as I must make a partition like 250 mb or 300 mb so there is too small memory for me to install apps
So I read other threads that talked about this problems and they recommended to use the [email protected] method
But the problem that they said that solution for sd cards that have class 6 or above and Mine IS 4 :crying:
So I appreciate any help from you guys cause you are the best on the internet and the hd2 is a legend
sorry for my bad English I am from the middle east "Egypt"

No, your SD card doesn't need to be any specific class. Class 4 will do just fine.
I think you're talking about NativeSD? Well, even if you are, class 4 is actually good for NativeSD.
Either way, your sd card will do the job. Happy flashing.
