Ok so I have my vibrant and I want completely erase every single application, folder I mean everything and start from scratch, what's the option in ODIN that erases every single folder in other words I want re-partition the internal SD card so I can work my way up to the ROM of my choice.
Thank you and I appreciate it in advance for the tip...
click repartition in ODIN
I checked repartition on my com and it didnt format my internal sd card. What does repartion actually do?

I tried the same and the old folders still present the only thing different is the actual stock vibrant rom... maybe wipe everything in recovery mode?

The internal and removable SD storage is treated separately from the phone's system storage. Those can be formatted from SETTINGS/SD CARD AND PHONE STORAGE from within the OS.
use eugene's froyo that doesn't brick -- click repartition
then go back to DL mode flash JFD
if not just delete all files in internal/external SD while mounted.
before flashing a new rom wipe data (factory reset / wipe cache / wipe dalvik / fix permission / flash new rom

There is your answer, format both, then ODIN.
Data storage space is always a problem for Android, which is why there are a lot of app2ext and data2ext solutions. There is app2sd function build-in in Froyo (there are a lot of problems), but those methods are not as good as expanding the data storage space directly.
Instructions:
1. Backup your Internal 2G Storage, doing this will erase the internal 2G data.
2. Download the attached partition.zip to EXTERNAL SDcard, make sure there are enough space in EXTERNAL SDcard (depends on your data partition size, around 600MB is enough).
3. Disable APP2SD, DATA2EXT, SWAP.(if have)
4. Boot into recovery, do not clear/wipe, flash this package directly, same as flashing a ROM.
5. After flashing go to advanced options, choose to reboot to recovery.
6. Go into recovery again, do not clear/wipe, flash this package again directly, same as flashing a ROM.
7. Reboot device. Done. All data will be kept, no data lose, all remains the same as before, but the storage space has been changed.
Characteristics:
1. Data storage space expanded to 1.2G, internal storage space squeezed to 1.46G (you can use custpartition.bat custom your size).
2. Data storage space is expanded permanently, no matter what ROM you are going to flash, including official ROM!
3. No side-effects, very safe.
How It Works:
Changed the Huawei internal 4G ROM partition solution, squeezed 2G space to 1.46G, leftovers are given to data storage.
This is cooperation work with 凡人 from 5irom, thanks for his bravery to test it out, otherwise I will not take this step ahead, you know it is money, bricking is scaring!
thanks simplistian provide me a U8800H partition table,and translate!
This is not a ROM, this is an upgrade package, you can treat it as a simple partition solution.

return-to-stock partition solution upgrade package:

Custom Partition tool:
useage:
1. download this tool and unzip to any directory 2. run custpartition.bat, follow the prompts to enter the number 3. and custpartition.bat positions will generate the partition file 4. replace the same file in the package 5. flash the zip pack, OK!

To Those Who Upgraded to V6 Before: you can reflash same ROM,replace recovery, then install this upgrade package.
So if i understand correctly apps will now install on internal disk?
Tnx for development btw )
Anyone tried this update?
*update
I just tried it and it works great.

So will this change the 2GB internal as the mobile memory? so all apps will be installed in there instead of the system?
Will this effect the external SD?

It was already answere by developer himself it does work as "mobile "memory , so apps will be installed there
Anyone know if the performance difference between the two will make a difference? (I'm assuming the 2GB may be a little slower, but probably not noticeable).
It will be the same speed. It is the same physical chip inside the phone. Think of this as repartitioning your hard drive. It just moves the unused space of HWUserData to data.

Cheers, didn't know it was the same chip.
How do i apply the update? i cannot see the zip file when i got to recovery.
I now have 1,66 gb internal space but no internal sd card?
When i use a backup before i used this update, do i have then again 2gb internal sd card?

internal space=internal sd card
sure，but first replace the zip‘s 3.2.0.0 recovery
AMAZING!
Not even a backup was needed (my 2gb was empty)
THANK U FOR THE GREAT WORK
You should include it in every ROM you create!

After you apply this update there will be no 'Internal SD Card' since it is converted to data storage (for apps and OS files). If you haven't applied this update the internal SD card will appear in my computer when you plug in the device and mount storage.
Hello,
I want to delete all files and folders on the internal file system.
There are a lot of folders from app I have just tested and uninstalled.
The "wipe data / factory reset" option does not delete the files - only
the user settings.
Compared to a computer I want to do a "format c:" ... do you know what I mean?
Thanks...
Settings > sd card and storage > unmount sd card > format sd card

If your gt is rooted be careful about deleting/formating . You might erase your boot files which will result in a a very expensive paper weight......
what do you mean??format usb storage or what?
Just use your file explorer and delete the folders not wanted.

I already partitioned my sd card months ago but this totally bothered me. I 2nd partition is 1gb and when i open settings->apps->manage applications, it still shows that my internal memory is only 190mb. What seems to be the problem?

You want to increase you internal storage?
Cant see what you want dude
Are you using any mods?
Sent from my Galaxy Pocket with rooted stock ROM
There is no problem here
use link2sd to mount your 2nd partition then you can link apps to free up internal storage so you can install more apps
your total internal storage will not increase - only available storage if you link apps to sd card that are currently on internal or have lib files on internal
on most deodex custom roms after you have installed around 80 apps you will have between 30mb & 60mb of free internal storage depending on the data & cache of apps

I know how to mount the 2nd partition. All i want is to see that my internal memory has inreased to 1.190gb. Because in task manager, it only shows that i only have 190mb, though i already partitioned my sdcard for 1gb.

I don't believe you understand what a 2nd partition is/does
your total internal storage will not increase - that's impossible without repartitioning the internal storage & taking space from other internal partitions which would be stupid as you would take space from boot partition
an sd card partition is on your sd card so you split the total storage of your sd card into two therefore your total internal storage hasn't increased - you haven't put a bigger internal hd in
your 2nd partition size is displayed in the info in link2sd
what it does is take apps in internal space & place them in the 2nd partition - it then leaves a link file where the app was so basically the app still behaves like it's on internal but it's not
No, i understand. Well, that would be all. No problem anymore.

using Link2SD doesn't increase your internal memory/RAM ... Link2Sd makes it easy for Android 1.6+ users with root privileges on their phone to move applications to the "SD card".

Its a script that you put in your init.d folder.
But i cannot ensure that works on every rom/kernel kombo.
With hells fusion 50# kernel + evo x3 rom is it working (my daily use)

Yea, if your SDcard not partitioned yet, the rom will bootloop

If you modify the fstab correctly and make userdata at least 1GB you should be fine. I've partirioned my sdcard to use external sd, cache, system, and userdata giving me much more space to install roms and apps. I'd recommend a more powerful sdcard to take away the lag

Hello Omkar,
Maybe, I don't understand you well. For me, a memory card is... a sdcard. Have you got external and internal sdcard/memory card? what recovery have you used? What tool are you using to know what space is or not free?
The memory card where you flash the ROM has some partitions: /boot, /recovery, /system, /cache, /data, /sdcard, /misc
The system partition could be 1GB (but... I think is too much) and basically contains the entire operating system. The data partition contains the user’s data and the sdcard is not exactly a partition. In terms of usage, this is your storage space.
I'm not sure that you format the entire memory card... I've just read a guide to Android partitions yesterday and other about ClockWorkMod Recovery and how to use it. They are complete and good. I would like to share them with you:

Clockworkmod and how to use it

Hello omkar,
I'm sorry, but I'm not using the same phone model than you. If you're following a XDA thread to install cm9, it should be work.
I had a similar problem (it got freeze after flashing). I'm not sure what didn't work of the tutorial that I followed. So I decided to update the cwm recovery version and try with other CM. I followed the steps and I also formated the /system partition to make a "clean" installation of the CM. Finally it worked.
:good:
