How much space do i need to have on my memory card to boot my phone to android? and does someone have one recommended for me?
1 GB Sd card
I think you need a clean 1 GB sd card, After running on sd card you have free 200 MB to use.
Works better with nand install

Okay, I use MDJ's CM7 2.4 build and I saw that to increase my internal memory for more apps I need to install Ext3/4 on my SD card. I think I did that successfully because it seemse that the apps don't use up much internal memory anymore and my SD card shows that it has 7 gigs of free space (I have a 8 gig card) so I presume the other 1gig is ext3. The problem is I cannot explore this partition. I searched but found nothing that could help me. Also if I decide to delete this partition what do I do? I tried formatting my card but it still shows 7 gigs. Thanks for all who decide to help me .
i just installed LEO "Stock" NAND Android ROM on my tmobile hd2. im wondering what happened to my 16 gb of internal storage. I dont have an sd card, and im left with 518 mb of storage. so my questions are,
1. where did my 16 gb go, and how do i get some of it back?
and
2. how can i make the phone think some of my internal is an sd. in order to download some market place games that require sd?
your phone doesnt have 16gb of storage it has 1gb rom storage

Hi,
You have four different storage areas. In order to see what you have got and where it is, download and install Titanium Backup.
When you open up this program, it will display:
System
Internal
SD card
EXT. On the sd card

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 to all,
i am using sensation xl rom on my htc leo (hd2).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316632
and i have a 8 gb memory card (sd).
i format the card with 1 gb linux ext2. when i look from pc, i see that
used: 543,4 MB
free : 554,7 MB
but always have a problem with storage area on my phone while i am installing a new apps. all my apps are removed to sd card. and when i check my space from phone, it says just 48MB free area in internal device area ((
is it normal or did i do something wrong? how i can make it larger?
thank you all in advance
any comments?
still waiting for a comment
It is normal in international version HD2, ROM+Caches+Personal data almost full 250MB internal memory. I suggest you using ext3, it would save your internal memory.
Hi,
I wonder if someone can help me, I've got WP7.5 install as a NAND installation, with Android 4.0.4 as a SD installation. Both work brilliantly, although I do have some slight problems.
Android won't detect an SD card installed, so I can't use some apps, that require an SD card to be present.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this, surely I'm not the only person in this position.
Cheers
I'm guessing it's because your SD has been formatted specially by WP, and Android can't read this. Your FAT32 partition is probably too small for anything to be stored in it.
The Fat32 partition is 1.6Gb.
Is it worth making that bigger, or creating another FAT32 partition?
Cheers
Hmm, I'd guess that you wouldn't have any more than 200-300MB free on your SD as read by SD Android then. I don't know how much an SD Android build takes up but the data.img is at least 1GB of that. As for increasing the partiton/creating a new one, I don't actually think that's possible without losing your data is it?
Hi,
Thanks for your help.
I'm not too fussed about losing anything...
Here is what I have just tried without any success.
I have a 8Gb card partitioned like this.
1.*Gb
Primary, FAT32, (Android SD install)
2Gb
Primary, FAT32, (My hope would be that Android would see this as the SD card)
4Gb Other (WP 7 partition)
No luck unfortunately, any ideas?
Cheers
Are you sure you're using an 'unlockable' WP7.x ROM? If so, try formatting the storage card to normal and flash a Android build, see if it utilises the memory card like normal, if it does, then I would say that you're doing something wrong when setting it up.
Just double check each step of a tutorial (example: this one) twice and hopefully you'll only have to flash one more time.
Why do you have 2 fat 32 partitions ?...just use one fat 32 partition..in regular sd android....data image is used as internal memory and fat 32 part as sd card
I believe your second partition is not being recognised...make only one fat 32 partition you don't need two
