Want to optimize my legend

Hi all!
I have a Legend recently rooted and running CyanogenMod. Great experience. Just starting play with and see how works.
My first problem is I put in to much rubbish during the process and just playing with new rom now want to optimize. I already have a 8 gb sd card.
how I should proced to made a clean instalation to be able to optimize as much as better and wich order shoud be done.
I gess to format the sd card and also ram from legend but...
wich is next step?
how many partitions and how bigger?
i would like to run the apks from sd insted of phone.
thanks a lot!

1Gb ext3 should be enough for moving apps too, since alot of apps won't even move, you'd have to install hundreds on the SD card to even get near filling it up.
You could always use Blayo's B.02 rom and use the data2ext to have ALL your /data on the SD card, this supposedly increases performance too.

I think you need a pretty fast SD card if your using data2ext as well for it to increase speed. Want to try, but I'm using the 2 Gb card that came with the phone

you can shrink the fat partition and add an ext2 in front using a partition manager.
I have a 500 Mb partition on a 4 Gb card and have about 300 apps installed.
with still a lot of space free.

There is also a installation guide there. You can partition your sd card through recovery or Rom Manager.

Yes I know(you told me) What I meant was that there is a shortcut in Rom Manager to partition SD card. Don't know if that's the best procedure, but it worked for me.

How can I expand my internal storage?

Hey guys, hoping you could could give me more of a 'step-by-step' guide on how to expand my internal memory with my 8gb SD card. Please keep it mega-simple, I only got this phone yesterday, and managed to flash ICS thanks to a very basic tutorial.

?? What ROM r u using ??
The easiest way is using application or script that move application to SD card. These things will move your application to your sd card and not wasting your internal memory. it's work perfectly fine.
There are many script available - chose one that match your ROM cause not all script are working perfectly to every ROM.
try search using A2SD and ....... (your ROM) to see which one work and which one donot...... Unfortunately i have to tell u that some script might working well with someone's phone (even u have the same ROM).
The second way is to install the app to SD program, like link2sd, app2sd... it's free on the market. Also this program is not working on everyone's phone. However it's easier to install.
after install script and application there might be a problem like low sound, lag, internet issue etc. so check that everything is Ok after u do anything.
I can't give u a step by step 'cause i dont know which ROM r u using.....

it's different for roms indeed. generally we have app2sd, app2sd+(aka app2ext), data2ext, d2sd, ad2sdx and so on.
the most basic and convenient 1 is link2sd from play store~

i think it's impossible to expand an internal storage. capacity is fixed. i read somewhere that some of space will be used for kernel and ROMs wil use another some of internal memory space to copy system files. so normally you will have internal memory available around 150-200MB depends on partition layout you make. the only way if you want to install many application is as mentioned above to move your application to SDcard,and i think link2sd app is the easiest way to do that

[GUIDE] Resolve Low Internal Space Issues

Well if you’re here you’ve probably gone and bought the ZTE Blade or one of its variants (Orange San Francisco, Dell XCD35 or the Idea Blade). You’ve probably been using it for a while now and I’m pretty sure you’ve come to that annoying moment when you download an awesome new app and get that pesky notification saying “Not enough memory”. Here’s a way to fix that problem albeit temporarily for rooted and non-rooted users alike
# Non Rooted Users:
First off, if you’re Android version says 2.1, it means you’ve got a Gen1 device. It’d be best top update it to a Gen2 device yourself using a TPT, or ask your manufacturer to do it for you. Now assuming you have a Gen2 device, i.e. your Android version says 2.2, this is how you go about getting space to install more apps.
-Once you install an app, open the settings menu
-Go to the “Applications” menu and select the “Downloaded” tab
-Select any application
-Keep in mind that this works only for applications that have been granted movability by their developer
-Android 2.2 onwards has an inbuilt option that allows users to move part of the app to the SD card. You should see an option saying “Move to SD Card”. If you do not see it, or it is grayed out, that means the developer has restricted the option. This is common for some apps like widgets
-Repeat for any number of apps you want.
Note : This provides only a little breathing space and allows you to squeeze in a few more apps. The root methods are far more effective. There's also an app called APP2SD to help with this on Google Play
.
# Rooted Users
The following methods are only for rooted users. To check if your phone is rooted, download the Root Checker app from Google Play. Rooted users have two methods of increasing storage space: Apps2SD+ and A2SD.
Apps2SD+ is similar to the inbuilt option that comes with Android 2.2. However, this enables rooted users to move more of the app to the SD card and also move ANY application to the SD card irrespective of the developer’s restrictions. There are two things that must be kept in mind while using this method. One, widgets do not work if moved to the SD card, so refrain from doing that. Two, the SD card is read after booting, so moving too many apps to the SD card (75+) will cause the phone to hang a lot at boot and reboot several times. This is done using an app. I recommend "DroidSail SuperApps2SD''
A2SD is the process of partitioning the SD card and using it as phone storage. This is by far the best method to increase storage space as a 1GB partition allows you to install 500+ apps, the ease of use and performance aside. This is available for most ROMs if they support an sd-ext script. Partitioning the SD card can be done using Minitool Partition Wizard or by ClockworkMod Recovery. The recommended partition size is 1GB as this is more than enough. The swap should be kept at 0MB or if you use the phone for gaming, at 32MB. Once the memory card is partitioned, the apps along with all their data can be moved to this partition. This can be done by two ways. DarkTremor A2SD scripts for most ROMs, or S2E for CyanogenMod. This is very easy to use and having done it myself, I have 450 apps and the phone’s performance isn’t the slightest bit affected.
Partitioned and still no space? See this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933144
Good Luck installing those 500 apps and showing off with them

hi there. hoping someone may still read this.
Any options for resolving low storage space issues on a Blade V without rooting?
I've moved literally app possible to the SD card (which isn't many).... Are photos not stored on the SD card by default? I've had to start uninstalling updates for system apps that I don't use
with "low storage" my Gmail doesn't sync...which obviously is f*cking annoying
I've had andoids before and rooted them, installed custom ROMs. Just I'd avoid it with this one due to my fear of screwing it up. Is rooting my only realistic option?

Rooting and then using the solutions in the op seems to be the only plausible option.
However, you can try a cache cleaning app. Should give you 10-15MB depending on how many apps have cached data

[Q] Always running out of internal space.

I wonder why my phone runs out of internal space so quickly. Even with apps all installed in the SD card, as soon as it's time to update, the phone runs out of storage. I'm using a rooted stock rom with the latest update from Samsung and with a 2GiB microsd that came with the phone.
Is there a way to solve this without using a custom rom?

You need to get a minimum 8GB SD card & install Link2SD & link all the apps to the sd card,see the link2SD tutorial here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614700
Your ROM should also have init.d support & stock ROM doesn't have that

Yes, but what part of "without using a custom ROM." I said differently? Also, changing to a bigger SD card is not an option either. Link2SD also can't move system apps, unless I make them "installed" apps using Titanium Backup.

Too little space to install apps, how to solve this?

Hey guys.
I have a Tab 7", rooted, which has 8 GB of internal storage.
I have an SD card but I'm a bit at a miss on how to install the apps completely on the card.
I see I have 2.15 GB for System ROM (with 191 MB free) and 5.06 GB (2.90 GB free) for the Internal+Media partition.
Apps are installed on System ROM or Internal+Media? I assume it's System ROM, since the OS has been denying to install very small applications.
So, my question is how can I get more space to install apps?
Any way to install an app directly to the SD Card? Maybe the only choice it to repartition?
Thanks!

Hi,
Normally you cannot install anything in 'system' (but since you have root you can move apks to system). Apps get installed to a partition called /data/ on the internal memory. If you have more than 2gb free and you cannot install apps it means there is something wrong. Repartitioning is very dangerous. Its very easy to brick you device doing that. Have you patched/cracked apps?

i'll probably get kicked out o this forum but, you can try a system cleaner. I was running out of space on my tab two and dumped a ton of space that way. If you have root you can remove a bunch of space hogging crap that you don't use.
