[Q] Low internal memory, no keyboard, no market - HD2 General

Hey folks,
i set up my HTC HD2 with this Android (Coredroid 1.7) Version. Now i got at least one problem.
As i tried to start my phone, he said he's got too less internal memory (~ 576 KB). And that's where my problem(s) start(s). It's not possible for me to sign up for the MarketPlace, because i don't have a keyboard popped up (I guess because of too less memory - the set up of the phone (at the first start) also aborts when i try to type with the keyboard). My idea was to install App2SD to get some apps from internal memory to my SD Partition. But as I just said, i can not connect to the market. It's a vicious circle, seems at least like this to me.
I also read it could be a problem of a too big data.img, but actually I did not use my mobile at all so the data.img should be nearly virgin.
Would be nice if somebody got an idea, already asked in other (german) forums but just got the tip to install a "smaller" rom, but i would like to try CoreDroid (which should work for HTC Leo/HD2).
Best Regards

What size cwm partitions are you using?
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium

Do you mean the ext3 Partition on the SD-Card? I configured it with 1024MB, The Fat32 should be ~3GB. Hopefully this wasnt such a nooby answer

No, he means size of the Clockworkmod / a.k.a. system partition that your ROM requires... it's ROM specific...
But as I recall, coredroid has a somewhat odd way of installing it, it does this automatically...
Don't know what's up with your phone :/ , you can try another ROM (like TyphoonS) that has a step by step clean install instruction...

Ok, got it. But as you said, i used the flash.cfg from the Coredroid_1.7_Instructions.zip, extraced it together with the DAF.exe in the same folder and flashed Coredroid with the DAF.exe. Perhaps i try to adress another size than 390 MB or just try to flash CoreDroid once again, but this has to work . Got the used HTC HD2 since 2 Weeks and it never really worked yet

...just read a little bit more:
EU HD2s got 512MB RAM. Therefore CoreDroid, as a ROM which needs 390MB system space, should not work properly because there is too less space left. Is this right? Am I able to change the value for "system ya" in a certain range or does the ROM just work properly with nonEU/HDs with more internal space? Otherwise im going to try the JW MIUI 1.9.2 Rom...

NAND DFT - Sense and free space issues

Firstly, amazing day, finally been able to get rid of winmo and get android into my NAND.
Sadly, i keep running into free space issues which is a bit frustrating. Im sure it might be something i am doing (or not doing), but was wondering if i am alone. As far as details, im running UK HD2, with DFT - SENSE rom flashed into my NAND and radio 2.15. I had no problems with the flash process and the phone generally works well.
I have apps2sd running and it says there are no apps that can be moved to the SD so i have everything where it should be. My SD is listed as 6.1gb free but internal memory is 115in use and about 38mb free. I cant even get copilot to install as it just says there is no space left (although i was running the .apk from the sd to install on the sd).
Could this be because i was previously using the sd card for android? Anyone else having these issues?
Thanks.

try the desire hd version, it has a bit more space ..
the owner of a hd2 (us) with 1024mb have no problems with that ..
Hi
Did you try titanium backup to move apps from nand to SD, it should be better to give it a try...

TMOUS HD2 Rocks
I just get free space only 99 mb on my hd2, i want to know why each device don't be got free space as same as ones.
My hd2 runs in Colluta's desire nand rom.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
This is not a problem with you guys, it's just with the 512 limit of our devices.
Be patient and someone /Cotulla/ will fix it so that we can install to SD card.
BTW
I just downloaded move2sd and it works just fine. Now my apps go to the sd and i've moved all possible apps to sd.
I am left with 82 mb which should be enough for txt and logs...
Im glad im not by myself with this. I guess the solution will come when the devs get chance to get ext4 up and running on our sd cards as data.img, that way the problem goes away. apps2sd/titanium etc are all fine, but if you have a lot of apps then you will always be in the situation i am of bouncing off the warning of low space.
The only problem is now the low space...
Hope the devs can add a partition from the SD that functions as the internal memory.
And people with 1024leo's should stfu. It's like saying to a blind person.. hah that's weird I can see perfectly fine.

Totally agree with the ignorant TMOUS owners saying they have no problems. I used to put a 4gb data.img in with my builds to make sure I had plenty of space. Still early days so lets wait for TMOUS users to come forward saying they have used up all their memory.
Putting that aside, the same problem happens with most other devices. I suppose using Android from SD card we had the luxury of choosing how big data.img to have. Now we are in the same boat as other Android handsets with the exception we cant go into recovery mode. If we could go into recovery mode then we could partition the SD card into two partitions. One for sd card usage like music, pictures etc and the other partition as ext3 to expand the phone memory onto the sd card.
If Cotulla or the DFT enables us to use our device in recovery mode, maybe they should only make it for HD2 Europe devices, seeing as TMOUS owners are all saying they have plenty of memory.
Google Earth and Flash Player are killing me.
They still hold much space after moving to sd.
Looking forward to app2ext.

Sorry man, not tring to be ignorant, I do love my TMo HD2. Ido agree with you on the ext3. I have my N1 w/a2sd and its awesome, no need to worry about space.I had about 95+ apps at one time and still had 150mb free of internal. Im guessing once we get a recovery img. we can then get the ext3 and a2sd working as it should. I have clockworks recovery on my N1 and works awsome. You can Backup any part of your rom even your ext3. Also Amon_RA's recovery is good too cause it has PSfreedom implemented, for those looking at PSFreedom Modds

low internal memory HELP

hello, i hope my thread didnt post somewhere else.
so, i am using hs2 and i installed android 2.2 yesterday and i installed 8 apps on it. everything is working perfect until i installed google eath. i run it and it says that i dont have enough space and it close.. i also remove many apps and i only have 50mb internal memory only. how do i clean android because i wanna install more apps soon!
also how many mb internal memory hd2 has?
is android installed on internal memory of my hd2 thats why its running low now??
thanks i hope to get what am looking for
USA T-Mobile HD2 - 1024MB ROM
Everywhere else - 512MB ROM
Which NAND build are you using? Perhaps it supports A2SD, A2SD+, data2ext, data2sd, if it does one of those, partitioning your MicroSD card and formatting the partition in ext2/ext3/ext4 will give you more space to install applications.

wait wait wait i bought hd2 at 14/1 and i put android at 13/1 so am sooo noob on these what A2SD, A2SD+, data2ext, data2sd are?
how do i partition my sd? how do i format to ext...
i got 512rom btw uk one
thanks
This is the downside of using NAND rom, the internal memory is very low. My phone is showing about 120 MB available and still I permanent have the icon telling me low disk space.
So there is a solution and that is to partition the sd card? Are there any instructions for this available so it becames part of the OS?. I have searched but could not seem to find the proper thread.
BTW I am using the "desire stock rom":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893620
Have a look at this one. Especially the instructions.
Or search the NAND Forum Titles for App2SD, Data2EXT, ext4, data.img or something like that.

"-_- sweat -_-"
I am not going to explain what it is, but instead, I am gonna tell you what to look at. When choosing a ROM.
Example1:
[15 JAN] -=MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.4 [A2SD+][GRH78][RMNET][Kernel: MDJ S10.4 OC]
See the wonderful [A2SD+] that means it uses A2SD+
Example2:
[16 JAN][DAF][ZIP] RAFDROID HD 2.2 [DATA2EXT][Kern:MDJ 10.3][RMNET][UPDATED!]
This uses data2ext
Example3:
[30 DEC][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM
This doesn't use anything, so you are screwed... you run out of space, that's it, SCREWED.
I highly recommend that you read this, and understand what it says.
[10 JAN][RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for HD2 - v1.2
Because Clockwork makes things really easy for noobs, if you want to call yourself that. It is also used in every Android Devices that I know of, including the Real HTC DesireHD, Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Nexus S, HTC Desire, and many more. HD2 users prefer people to do everything for them and package everything neatly, then complain about having to wipe everything away each update.
** [GUIDE] How to format SD-Card to EXT 3 **
bakskj, so yah, you have 120MB left. So unless you know how to put A2SD, A2SD+ or data2sd or data2ext into the ROM you are using now, pretty much, use that 120MB sparingly, that's all you will have.

amazing post . bit i use LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM so am SCREWED . do i have to install NEW ROM ? and start downloading apss from the bigging? if yes what rom is the best ?xda-developers - Reply to Topic or RAFDROID HD 2.2 ?
whats the difference between these 3 roms? more available internal space?
thankss
Urm, it's hard to say what is the best. I guess look at the screen shot and choose the one that looks the most pleasing?
But you know what, now that you are starting again,
[10 JAN][RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for HD2 - v1.2
READ THAT... USE THAT...
Then choose a ROM that says CLOCKWORK
-=DOWNLOAD v. 2.4 A2SD+ NAND Clockwork Mod=-
Like that. This way, if you have a small little fix, you don't have to reflash the whole rom, some nice guy/girl might already post up the fix in a nice zip file that you can use clockwork to install.

flashed on nand the original desire android on my hd2. its 2.2ver and i cant save app on sd card. the other 2 ver are 2.3 android right? the last one?
PLEASE NOTE:
There are down sides to using app2sd and data on sd.... Namely you cannot mount the SD Card via usb.
The single best option for having a stable, low maintenance build is projections Stock desire, which has some squashing to reduce the space. HD builds are all flawed for 512mb users because of the size. You either have no space, or you cannot mount your sd card.
Based on that I would always go for a stock desire/evo based build, which give full functionality, but with ~180mb free space. Everybody is so quick to ask for data on sd.... but the corruption factor that is still there, combined with the inability to mount the drive, makes it a no go for many people who are starting out, and will be back on here in a few days asking why they are getting force closes, or why they cannot access SD card via usb.

First off thanks for the informative replies. I think I'm gonna go for a partitioned one because more space is essential for me.
What i do want to know is. Is there a fix for those eventual crashes and what not? And if they are really to annoying. Because nothing beats stability.

Thanks for you reply RayHeath, yes right now i flashed with the factory rom.
First i wiped everything by task29, then i flashed with the factory rom tracked by my serial number.
Even thoug Only 162.42 MB i can see in Total storage, if you have the same device can you please check with yours how much its showing please.
Imp note : in settings --> about phone ---> hardware information , i can see RAM SIZE : 576MB & FLASH MEMORY SIZE : 512 MB
ARE THE VALUES CORRECT
when you perform task29 you have to flash magldr again, did you think about that?
I think with task29 also partitions will be deleted...when you are able to install stock winmo rom you must be able to flash any other rom. At least mdjs cm7 should work when you try an android rom because it uses less memory than winmo.

First thanks for your reply, Task29 wil not remove partitions, it wil wipe fully thats what i can conclude after my 2 days of investigation, the harware information which shows the values as 576 MB & 512 MB are fine. even i agree with you, as it is giving the values of hardware present on phone.
can you give me once your values @ settings ---> SD Card & Phone Storage please, then i can explain you more clear.
My values : Total Storage : 162.42 MB Urs :
Total Program : 208.20 MB Urs:
If any one have the same model with 512MB please provide me the inputs, usefull for investigation

I think you have to add these two (Storage and Programm) because winmo seperates?! Please, correct me if I'm wrong^^
I can tell but it would be useless because I'm using Android w/ data2ext
btw: I'd wp7 on my device 3 times and I always could get back to Winmo, Android or whatever. Maybe you should try to install magldr 1.13 and cwm 400mb. I don't think that your nand has gone

You are right. Task29 does wipe everything. He was having problems with his internal storage.
Naughty, first he´s right, you should now flash the MAGldr 1.13. Then choose an Android NAND Rom from whoever you want. Most of the cooks have included the CWM already with the right size. It would definately be easier for you using one of them. I personally use CorDroid. It´s fast and used doesn´t use that much of the internal space on the HD2. And a lot of eye candy. And again very very FAST. Okay?

Yes, those values are ROM and RAM... the ROM, or internal storage seems right, I think, because a lot of the internal storage is taken up by the operating system. The RAM seems a little low, though. Some of the RAM isn't shown because it is used by system and radio, but you should still have a total of 300 or more, I think. I can't remember what the numbers are suppose to be exactly. Try asking in WinMo section what their numbers are for the totals.
What WM rom did you flash? I have heard there's a problem with build 3.14 and HSPL, I think if I remember right. If that's the stock rom you flashed, you should probably try a different stock ROM or just task 29 and go directly to MAGLDR and whatever android or wp7 rom you want.

thanks for your reply, i just dropped in Winmo and waiting for inputs....
I Flashed with 3.14.707.3 (04666) WWE, before this itself i had problem with it. I am not remembering , i tried for "DL.DesireZ.v3.4.final.nand" and also "Motoman234_MyTouch4G_V3.1_DAF" after WP7... from here i am seeing this problem.
Before WP7, i loaded "Motoman234_MyTouch4G_V3.1_DAF" just for review and it worked fine, but now due to less phone memory after flashing HTC SENSE itself is not loading "its force closing" nothing i can do just loop of this force close. So i concluded that there was some partition operation went accidentally, and now there is only 162.42 MB partition available for phone memory to use totally.
Are there any tool to work on phone memory partitions..??? i tried task29, clockwork recovery where i went for advance & wipe options too.

I Flashed with 3.14.707.3 (04666) WWE, before this itself i had problem with it. I am not remembering , i tried for "DL.DesireZ.v3.4.final.nand" and also "Motoman234_MyTouch4G_V3.1_DAF" after WP7... from here i am seeing this problem.
Before WP7, i loaded "Motoman234_MyTouch4G_V3.1_DAF" just for review and it worked fine, but now due to less phone memory after flashing HTC SENSE itself is not loading "its force closing" nothing i can do just loop of this force close. So i concluded that there was some partition operation went accidentally, and now there is only 162.42 MB partition available for phone memory to use totally.
Are there any tool to work on phone memory partitions..??? i tried task29, clockwork recovery where i went for advance & wipe options too.

Okay, try the CoreDroid Rom. All of the apps will be installed automatically on sd card and you don´t need to worry about you internal memory. Here´s the link. By the way please read!
Sorry dude, forgot the link. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926507

Yes, those values are ROM and RAM... the ROM, or internal storage seems right, I think, because a lot of the internal storage is taken up by the operating system. The RAM seems a little low, though. Some of the RAM isn't shown because it is used by system and radio, but you should still have a total of 300 or more, I think. I can't remember what the numbers are suppose to be exactly. Try asking in WinMo section what their numbers are for the totals.
What WM rom did you flash? I have heard there's a problem with build 3.14 and HSPL, I think if I remember right. If that's the stock rom you flashed, you should probably try a different stock ROM or just task 29 and go directly to MAGLDR and whatever android or wp7 rom you want.

Hippeee....Hurrrraayyyy....!!!
Total Program came to 336.17 MB, i removed HSPL and i got this.
But sir still i have one doubt, Now My RAM Size is showing 448MB, where before i had saw it as 576MB. How come suddenly it had been decreased. any idea...what should be the exact value of RAM Size should be in harware information...??
FYI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11286863&postcount=6
Stock rom doesn't let the users use the full 576 ram. It will save some for the system.

Need Help with HD2 storage/Partitioning

Hey guys, I;m appealing for a little help here.
I have an HTC HD2 which has been great for about a year but all of a sudden it has problems.
I;ve been using this rom pretty much since it came out....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060
I;ve never had any problems with it untill now. I started to get the "insufficient storeage space available" message on it so I assumed a restore/reflash would solve the problem.
I used HD2 toolkit to resize my MAGLDR partition to 450MB & reflashed - the phone wouldnt boot. Stuck on the HTC logo.
Repartitioned to 400 - still no boot!
Repartitioned to 350 - still no boot!
Repartitioned to 300MB - phone now boots however now, I;ve installed no apps & when I try to install spotify, its telling me insufficient storeage available, again! With nothing on the phone except the ROM!
I'm a bit of a n00b with all this stuff, but had my HD2 running fine for ages & its frustrating me that now it wont work properly!
Anyone care to help? THanks, Cardz.
Edit: im using MAGLDR 1.13 & the latest Clockwork mod to flash the ROM. I'm wiping cache & data partitions every time...... :/
Install it with as lower as possible space for system partition. In your case it shoud be 135MB of system partition and 2MB cache but I recommend to put some more of space for system partition as I had some problems with low system partition so you can put 150MB for system partition.
The simple explanation of why you dont have enough of space for apps is that you gave too much of space for system partition and simply this ROM does not require that much of space for system partition. And other space left in your phone memory will be used for apps etc.
EDIT: And also try to install MAGLDR and CWM manually if you can and when you install CWM edit flash.cfg in WordPad or other text editing tool before you flash CWM and edit system partition size to 150MB and Cache size to 2MB

Thanks a lot for the reply, i understand now about the 150MB/2MB cache, but what is the point of this other bit? Could you explain more the purpose of this?>

Well to simply explain you why i wrote you to use manual installation of CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY was that I wanted to explain you how is it working with partitioning your nand memory using cwr or magldr. I just added some helpfull info for you from my experience with HD2 and android flashing. So in the future you will know what to do and you will be able to uderstand more from technical point of view about flashing etc. I just wanted.to share some of my experience with you
But it is up to you if you want to use hd2 toolkit or manual configuration.

You can also use 4ext recovery instead of clockwork...

Afaik it's better to post in a similar topic than create a new one, so here I go.
I have recently switched to an ICS NAND rom and since then I keep having constant storage problems. I understand that in order to solve that I have to partition my SD card but it seems, since I don't really understand the whole android storage management process too deeply, I am not doing things properly cause I keep getting "Low on space" notifications. I attach some screenshots below in order to give you more info about my sd card partitions and rom specs. Please let me know what I did wrong and how I can solve it. I understand I will probably need to repartition and reflash the devide again?
Edit: The screenshots I have attached don't have 2nd part mounted, going to upload proper screens in a minute. Done.
Edit 2: Will this fix my problems?

You are mixing different things. In the first post of this thread the issue was the partitioning of the internal Flash-ROM in the Phone.
You wrote about the SD card partitioning and these things are totally different.
I think, you have a problem with your internal memory and you have to try the same things like cardyology has done after the hint from jan.selep.
Partitioning for Ubuntu's users
I don't find the way to modify partitioning of the internal Flash-ROM when you are an Ubuntu user on PC (no Windows boot anywhere..)

If you use cLK instead of magldr you can repartition from the cLK bootloader, , no PC necessary.
Before you say 'I cant install cLK without a PC', there is a version of cLK you can flash from sd card.
It will mean you have to resinstall your rom, though.
I believe more simple to find a Windows PC...
dont see why it should take any more than 25 minutes to accomplish, properly prepared.

Hummmm because the Murphy's law? :crying:
I found a Windows PC, I downloaded the HD2 Toolkit... but not the good one, because the last version don't works with 32 bits PC. So, I found the good one, I saved all my stuff, I tried to repartition and... I miss a dll and other bull****... 2 hours later, I thought is too long to be good and I sought a lighter ROM (I understood Hyperdroid CM7 has a 150 Mo system partition : it's very short!), but, I found nothing with ICS or JB, only GB... pfff.
So, I took a week to flash ROM, I read miles of thread, hours to understand how my device working and each time I found a solution, each time I have at less a new issue to solve. It pissed me of.

Titanium Backup's "System ROM & Internal" size

After using my HD2 for close to 1.5 years, I finally manage to get root on the Froyo NAND ROM I have, and installed Titanium Backup. What took me so long? Partly due to the fact I don't have much time to try out different ROMs and also I need something reliable, which made me stuck to the same early NAND release for so long, but the lack of internal space is really getting on my nerves recently.
Just a backtrack on what ROM I used. I followed instructions on the [GUIDE] Flashing Your First HD2 NAND Android Rom [For Newbs] thread, installed LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM by Cotulla and never bothered with anything else, even with the fact it doesn't have root access.
Upon installing Titanium Backup, I discovered a section where they listed "System ROM: 274MB (18.6MB free)" and "Internal: 144MB (17.2MB free)", well, that explains why I kept running out of space, the first boot up, I remembered I only have like 30MB out of the 144MB Internal space to use for any other external apps I installed! But another question beckons, 274MB + 144MB is only about 418MB, I thought we have 576MB to begin with on the HD2? What happened to the rest of the storage? I've checked my radio and I'm running on 2.15.50.14 which is supposed to have unlocked the extra memory.
And I'm also thinking of installing a new ROM after all these years, probably sticking with a Sense based one, which I've seen a pretty good Rom SENSATION XL V 3.0 or DESIRE HD OFFICIAL RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_V 3.0 made by haldric, but the partition of 5/220/5 or 5/180/5 is a little worrying as that would mean less internal space left for apps I install, but how does one calculate and estimate the amount of internal memory left after a clean install? If not, I would be considering tytung's NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.2a which has a small system partition of 135MB, which probably meant I have more internal space left for apps instead, but it doesn't have SENSE, which I prefer to have even though it makes the phone slower.
Also, I guess I prefer to stick with the MAGLDR way of flashing thru DAF.exe as I think it's probably the most straight forward and easiest way compared to the other methods which seemed kinda complicated.
My main question is actually the "System ROM" and "Internal" size showed by Titanium backup, is that normal that it doesn't add up to the RAM/ROM size?
Hope to get some response soon. Thanks in advance!
ever thought of using ext???
Thealshear, I would, but it seems the procedure to set it up seemed pretty complicated, and, well, I've been thinking of trying out a new ROM as well.
I guess I got confused anyway, it's 512MB of ROM, so after deducting 274MB out of System ROM and 144MB out of Internal memory, where did the rest of the 94MB went? Cache?
First of all, RAM is a completely different thing from ROM.
ROM, stands for Read-only memory , is where your OS resides. Whereas RAM, stands for Random Access Memory (you should already know this), is where your running apps are kept ... RUNNING !
The HD2 only has a RAM of 576 MB (after radio install).
But as for the ROM:
The T-mobile packs a 1GB ROM, while the regular (Euro) HD2 only packs 512MB (not 576MB).
And finally, don't trust TB . Mine says (167 System ROM & 1GB internal when I actually own a European HD2 ) and that is because the A2SD script.
When you want to flash a recovery, your maximum is 400MB system (considering 10MB cache, 2MB boot, 5MB recovery & 1MB misc) Which totals to about 418MB.
I don't know why the rest is not used, but since it is happening on both DAF flashing AND CWM, then I assume it's a thing we cannot change.
Well, yeah, I just found out I got mistaken, it's the ROM size that I need to take note about, one of the things that baffled me coming from iOS is that, in iOS, whatever listed storage size, I could use it all up for apps instead of like in Android's case, it's based on the ROM size.
Anyway, other than checking the flash.cfg configuration, there's no where else to roughly estimate how much internal memory is left? Moving apps to SD doesn't seem to be the full blown solution as I think some parts will still be left on the ROM, or I had been misinformed?
Is it possible to setup without Clockwork Mod?
Settings > Storage
Always shows you the actual amount of MBs left for you to install apps. (If you're not using an A2SD script)
Why are you still on that rusty ROM ?
There are now much better ROMs with better functionality. Furthermore, the installation procedure is rather simple.
I recommend doing the following:
1- Sync your Contacts & Calendar Events to Google. (Auto by default)
2- Backup your SMS with any app from the Market. (Optional)
3- Backup your apps using TB backup (requires root ofc )
After that, wipe off your device using Task29. Then choose either MAGLDR or cLK (see what suits you best). Then install CWM (cWM comes pre-installed with cLK 1.5) .. then customize the partition sizes. Finally, flash your favourite ROM.
Well, as mentioned, I'm still on this rusty ROM due to convenience and I didn't had much time to tweak around. Back then, I got the HD2 as it was the only possible phone that has 4.3" on Android
Recently, the internal memory issue is getting on my nerves as I need a couple of apps that's impossible to install without having more internal memory! Which was why I finally decided it's time to read a little bit more to get a much better ROM instead without resorting to changing phones.
So, basically, whatever I do, I would still need to run Task29? I just found out about the HD2 NAND Toolkit, so in accordance to the procedure you mentioned, I would still need to run Task29, install MAGLDR, use HD2 NAND Toolkit and then install whatever ROM I choose to use? Is CWM necessary? Or it just helps to ease up the work later on?
Thanks again!

Task29 is unnecessary I feel. Just follow this guide and you should be fine. Do a wipe in MAGLDR, flash CWM and carry on from there.
In terms of the internal memory apps, which ones are these? I made sure to move all of my games to the SD card, and any app which has a significant amount of data. All the apps on my internal storage right now are Widgets and Launchers, works fine for me.
^What he said.
And yes, CWM is fundamental. On the other hand, task29 is not. But I like to do it when switching from MAGLDR to cLK or vice versa.
