Hello guys i have a T-Mobile HD2. And i know its has 1 gb rom.But the toolkit for hd2 supports only 450 mb max partition. How can i make it 1 gb? Thanks,,
no one knows :/
that 450 is the system partition only, if you made a 1gb system partition, you wouldn't be able to install anything, and you would waste a heap of space. when you setup the partition layout, anything left over becomes the data partition. so a 450 meg partition layout would leave about 550meg as the data partition for your user data, apps and such like..
Also, there's no point making the partition bigger than you need, ,if you flash a 200meg rom to a 450meg layout, you will lose the 250meg difference, it wont be used by the data partition, it will be wasted space.

You can use clk1.5 to increase the system partition to that size in settings>repartition.

Oh i see so if i put 200 mb rom then the rest 800 mb i will be able to use

i've got HyperDroidGBX-v11 and i have only 150mb. i've installed recovery_250M but after installing that rom there is still 150mb. i need some help with this issue. please explain that very simply what to do. THX.
i think you misunderstand how it works, the 250 is the amount of space neeed on nand to install the rom, whats left is the 150
after i've installed HyperDroidGBX-v11 i go to storage settings and i've got there total space: 151mb and available space 118mb. after android restores all my programs i have only 40mb free space and after 1-2 weeks i've no storage space. i'd like to have about 100mb more for programs.
sounds about right if you are installing apps on the internal nand but it does say to use a 150CWM partition not a 250, that should gain you an extra 100meg straight off
i don't understand exactly what do you mean. can you just tell me how can i get more storage for apps please? is it possible at all?
you are using the wrong partition size for thew rom!!! you are lsoing 100meg by using the 250CWM you need a 150CWM as per the rom instructions...reflash using a 150CWM partition size and you will more free space
also sounds like you dont have an ext3/4 partition for use of a2sd
ok. i've changed recovery_250M to 150M and i have 67mb more. what is going to happen if i change 150M to 100M? do i get an extra 50mb free space?

The ROM probably wont load if you use a partition lower than recommended then you will have more problems. If you follow directions of the developer you will be fine.

thanks guys. now i know how it works. i've had that before Eelkede but i didn't know why i have to change size to lower but now i understand, so everything is clear thanks!
I personally use the 100meg recovery size as the system size for v11 is very small have not ran into any problems. I believe he uses the 100meg file and recommends it.

Hello . How much MB Cach most be put when I use 250/300MB System Partition Size for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354267 Android?
From that thread.....
Installations:
Please use at least 190MB system partition and at least 2MB cache partition

So, 2mb will do.
Also, if you flash that rom using 250 layout you will lose 60mb, android wont use it for anything.
so I got a question. I see that the nexus roms need a 150 or 200 MB partition, and the sense roms take a 400 partition. so could I just set a 400 partition and not worry about changing when I want to flash a new rom

No partitions must be changed in order for the system to function properly. You can however switch bootloaders to clk 1.5 and change partition sizes without ever connecting to a computer.

To clarify yes you could flash a 150 Meg rom to a 400meg layout, but android wouldn't use the extra 250 Meg for anything, since it isn't part of the data partition, so wouldn't count as internal storage and so wouldnt be used for data or apps., it would be wasted.

As the other two said I would advise not doing so as not only is it a waste of space but it will also prevent you from running some apps (and widgets) as they need to be installed on internal storage to function and you won't be able to have them due to insufficient storage space
Hi, I am using MIUI with Android version 2.3.7. Everything is allright, but I only have 217 mb of internal memory in total. The MIUI ROM and other apss take up about 180 mb and although I have moved some apps to sd I now only have 40 mb available. It should have 512 mb internal memory. Why can't I see and use all of it? Is it possible that I didn't delete windows mobile or one of the other android roms I have used so far, though I am sure I have tried "clean install" a few times?
Dalvik cache & app data take up a lot of space too, you could move these to th SD ext partition to free up more internal memory. You will need a2sd installed I think to enable this.
Peace

the 'available internal memory' figure only counts the data partition size.
so (for example) if your rom requires a 200 meg system partition, you would show..
512 minus 200 minus whatever cache size you flashed minus the boot and recovery partitions (lets guess 50 meg) so your available internal memory on a completely fresh install, no data or apps, would still only show a max of 262meg available.
Also, if you flash a system partition bigger than required, you dont get the extra space to use. So flash a 180meg rom onto a 250 meg system partition, and you lose 70meg, the system wont use it for anything.

Thank you so much. My ROM itself is about 100 mb. How much data partition size should I actually spare for such a rom? Also could you please direct me to the post that tells me how to arrange the data partition size and do the rest of flashing my rom again? I would really like to have more available internal memory. Also I would be happy if you told me what ext 3 or ext 4, whatever it is called, is and if it has anything to do with internal memory.
If the rom is 100mb then you need a partion of at most 110 so if your using clk or magdlr..after you have wiped nand...partition it to 110 if possible or use 105 even cos you don't wanna be giving up wanted space..
i have installed coredroid for the hd2 useing the great tool kit.. one thing i have incountered is i can not use a custom partition over the max 445mb. the US version can use 1024mb internal rom and 512 ram anyway to work around this or am i looking at this wrong...

I don't see why you would need a larger partition but an easy solution is to go to the HD2 CWM thread and download the latest version, then within the downloaded folder open the file flash.cfg (not flash.cfg.txt) and change the system partition to your desired size, then flash through daf.exe

to explain, in case you didn't realise, , making the system partition bigger than that rom requires is pointless, since the system doesn't store anything in the system partition, except the system. The data partition (and sd-ext of in use) is where all your apps and data get installed. If you make your system partition 100mb bigger, for example, your internal storage will actually go down by 100meg.
When you partition, the data partition is set to 'allsize', meaning it will take up however much space is left after the boot/cache/recovery partitions are created.
When you look at the available internal storage space in settings, it ONLY shows you the space in your data partition, nothing else, which is why it will never show 1024mb, more like 800mb for a cm rom, or 550mb for a sense rom.
thanks
thanks for the info.. sorry for the delay in the reply
