[Q] "Low on Space" - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Let me start by saying I've always ran AmeriCanAndroid from SD on my old HD2 (stock, with WM6.5). But that phone is nearing its demise so I bought another slightly used HD2.
The new HD2 had MAGLDR installed and was booting MIUI from NAND.
Because I've always used SD versions of Android ROMS, this whole MAGLDR and NAND thing is completely new to me. So I'm positive my answers might have been answered (many times) before but since I'm so new to this, I have no clue what to search for.
Anyway, I replaced the MIUI ROM on the HD2 with AmeriCanAndroid, made a complete backup of the old HD2 using Titanium Backup and started to restore it on the new HD2. After just a few apps, I was told my phone was "Low on Space". After some searching here and on Google, I found out that to increase storage space, you need to create an EXT3 partition on your SD card then use an app like S2E.
I created an EXT3 partition on the SD (using Minitool Partition Manager on Windows) and installed S2E. However, when I start S2E, all options to move data to the SD card are grayed out. If I click the (I) icon, it shows it doesn't find "SD-EXT".
If I go into File Manager, I can see a SD-EXT folder just fine.
So what am I doing wrong here?

I suggest to try Link2SD from Play market. It is really easy to use and has nice interface.

s2e, doesn't that only work on cm roms? american is aosp isn't it?
<hint>
line one of the s2e playstore page says
S2E works only with CyanogenMod7 and CyanogenMod9!
</hint>
go have a read, and find out what aokp, aosp and cm7/cm9/cm10 in the title of a rom means, and you'll have a much better chance of picking an a2sd script that works for you.

try the INT2EXT+ script from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124
works fine for me with NexusHD2 rom.

Bump on that, i use it with the [17.Sep.2012] NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.7 [NativeSD][tytung_HWA_r3.4] rom and it works perfectly.
Its very importatn that the Link2SD app is the first thing you install on your phone.
good luck!

I also use Tuytung's ICS..(most stable ROM)..But Link2SD always gave me issues of 'low memory'..and max 'extra space' I had was 90MB...
So I read the INT2EXT thread and did a fresh installation & immediately flashed the INT2EXT+ script, then installed all my apps..it works wonders...super speed,extremely large memory (200mb +) and no annoying "apps has been linked to sd" notifications..I have a 500mb sd-ext partition and about 90apps installed...Lemme attach some snapshots..

Partition SD Card Help (Rom Manager)....

Hi there,
I'm having trouble with the "Partition SD Card" function in the Rom Manager application. It goes through recovery and does everything successfully, but after I install an application it installs to the phone. I checked in the "Settings>SD and Phone Storage" which showed a smaller amount of memory after having installed the application. I installed the application "Apps to SDcard", and when I run it, it tells me "Error, either an incorrect ROM is installed or your SD card is not formatted correctly". I don't know what I did wrong, I have my SD card formatted at FAT32, and my ROM is the NeonMod Rom. I will have a link to it after. I tried the Apps to SDcard app after using the Rom Manager to partition my SD card at, 256MB Ext size, and 32MB swap size. I have a 2GB card, and it's the one that came with my phone (Sandisk) if that helps. Thanks for the help guys.
Here's the link to the ROM I currently have and its description:

It might not be a fast enough card for a2sd to work.

Nope, the problem is you are running an Eclair ROM and the app is not "ext" type of A2SD - it just uses the Froyo A2SD, which uses FAT32 partition to move apps to.
If you install Froyo, this app will work, else install a ROM with A2SD that uses ext partition, it's much better
Thanks, I found a Rom that supports A2SD and uses ext partition, and it works. Just a question though, I used Apps to SDCard to move the apps to the card, but now can't find them. Where can I find them now? LOL. Thanks so much for the help I really appreciate it, this is the current Rom I got that supports A2SD just in case anybody wants:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834121
Not sure about this one, but why don't you use Froyo ROM?
Well if it's better then I will, I don't know much about Froyo but can you please give me a Froyo Rom if it's better? Android 2.1 version though. Thanks.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
It depends... Do you like sense? You can find a list of roms in stickies in Development!
Start there, but the list is not very recent. I'm currently running BlaY0's Rom, try that one if you like sense ;-) CM6.1 is an obvious choice if you don't...
Good luck!
and btw: Froyo is faster and alltogether better
Okay thanks I'll give it a try. And yes I like Sense a lot. Thanks again!

You cannot have Froyo AND Android 2.1 at the same time

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.

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.

[Q] HOW TO INSTALL ANDROID APPS TO MicroSD CARD, INSTEAD TO PHONE MEMORY?

OK..I've done everything, installed DFT Android ROM for HTC LEO etc...everything seems to be working fine, BUT..((
Most of the apps from Market or any other cannot be moved from Phone memory to SD card, thus consuming all phone memory very fast, and disabling me to install any more apps...and we all know that Android rules just because there are so many apps for it...
So, my question is: is there any possible way of making Android install apps to SD card, rather then phone memory? 'Cause this way, my 16Gig card isn't much of use on Android )
Please help, because there is no point in having Android on this device, if I can install only so many apps on phone memory...
Very thankful in advance....
Greeting from remote Bosnia ))
Which Rom are you using?
I am using Hyperdroid and it allows me to move apps to SD.
And they are working fine.
I'm using Desire ROM...from DFT 2.2 Froyo..
And this one also allows moving apps, but just some, not all.....
Could anyone be as kind as to point me to a ROM with Sense that allows moving all apps to SD card?

The best method would be to create an ext partition for your phone. ALL the apps that would normally installed on the phone will be moved onto this partition on your SDcard, saving you space. However, the trade off is speed. It will be slightly slower, but I don't think you'll even notice the speed difference day-to-day.
You can follow my guide here on how to make an ext partition without losing your data on your SDcard. It should only take like 5min to do. [HOW-TO] Make Ext4 from Recovery Without Losing FAT32 Data
well, there are some apps on the market that allows u to move all the installed apps in the internal memory to the storage card.
Try App 2SD Enabler. When you run the app, be sure to read the instructions.
If that doesnt work, Titanium Backup has a function in it that allows you to move any installed app u want from internal to storage memory (when u open the app, press Menu and then Batch. There should be an option somewhere there)
edit: keep in mind that some apps such as widgets, have to be on the internal memory to work properly. The Ext4 method is good if u want to increase the internal memory (by sacrifasing some storage memory), but you won't be able to connect your phone to the pc via Mass Storage. Plus, if it's the method with the 3 partitions(tbh i don't know if it's just for the 3partition method or any partition number), some of the storage card will be used from the OS as well, making the removal of the SD card impossible.
I would recommend App 2 SD. I use it to move all the apps it can to the SD card and it really does free up a lot of space.
Does Titanium Backup allow all apps to be moved too SD card? Just curious because Apps2SD doesnt move all apps to the SD card just some of them from my experience..
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
The original DFT Desire ROM wasnt rooted correctly so use Z4Root from market then try using apps like Titanium and App2SD etc etc.
As an alternative, if you like sense but without all the bloat and lag try the rom in my signature, its a stripped down version oh DesireHD it flies like **** of stick and has all the best bits of sense
Try a different ROM
The DFT rom was also my first, but the internal memory filled up in no time and made it unusable for me.
In my experience, if you move an app to the SD card, some residual data goes onto the internal memory so you will find that you still use it up. As mentioned above, you will need to put certain apps and all widgets on the internal memory anyway.
I would go for a 'clean' rom that gives you plenty of free memory. You should then have no problem with it filling up. Titanium backup (free from market) is a good app, although Apps2SD (also free) is good as it lets you know how much space you have left.
I settled on the prj rom in my signature as it gives 180Mb free space from install and everything works as it is based on the DFT rom with minimal tweaks. There are plenty of clean roms out there, so try some out.
The best solution really for EU HD2's (512MB) is to use a rom that supports Data2SD as that actually extends your internal memory to the partition on SD card so you have say 1GB of internal memory, this is much better then any other current methods as its much more compatible with apps.
Also, dont mess about with Gpartid or other partition apps, You can use CWR to do it, just partition 1GB and then choose 0 for swap. (unless told otherwise by dev).
Thanks everyone, really...
I did this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931126
Partitioned the card during setup and now I have 1Gig, which is OK..also the ROM is really stable and fast.... Try this, I'm quite happy, it works great and it is an upgraded version of DFT Desire ROM... Cheers!!!

Whichever ROM you're using is extremely old, so it may have even been a known issue of that ROM (although I highly doubt that) but we need more information as Kamerius said. For the mobile network issue, have you checked that the APN settings are correct?

Well, can you link me to that ROM please? I wasn't aware that there were any ROMs by DFT outside of the Stock Desire one, so I'd like to see it (although it isn't necessary of course).
You're using an extremely old and outdated method of flashing anyway, everything nowadays is flashed via CWM. See this guide and start by using the wipe data thing in MAGLDR, then just skip to flashing CWM with the correct partition sizes etc. It might not necessarily solve your issue, but you might as well do it nonetheless.
Are you trying to insert the SD card after the phone has booted? Just leave it in the phone and turn it on, I don't see any reason it shouldn't work other than if it was a known bug of the ROM or if your SD card is the one with the issues.
I'm confused about your second issue. The OP says that your data connection isn't working (data being mobile network) but the second post says that it's the USB connection to the PC that isn't working? Which one is it? Or are both of them not working?

That's fine, it just means it's an EU/International HD2 rather than a TMOUS. The only difference (spec-wise) is that it has 512Mb ROM rather than 1024Mb

There is no 'best ROM', it's all a matter of opinion. I prefer ICS ROMs such as NexusHD2 and IceCreamTosti because of the HWA capabilities, but you may not like them. It varies between each user. If you decide to flash one of these, you can create an EXT partition on your SD card and use the app Link2SD from the Play store to use that partition.

Did you follow the guide I linked fully? Including step number 2 - partition your storage card for a2sd ROMs? If so, then this is an EXT partition which you have created on your SD card with CWM. If you meant repartitioning the NAND with CWM (i.e. in your case flashing a 150Mb partition) then this is NOT on the SD card and isn't an SD EXT. However, since you have stated that the app App2sd works fine, I think you've done everything correctly. Congrats, you now have a fully functional Android HD2.
The ROM you chose (TyphooN) is a very good one, I used it myself as my standard ROM for the whole of 2011 and a bit of 2012 and it was absolutely great, but right now I personally feel that ICS ROMs are better. ICS is simply the latest version of Android (GB is Android 2.3, ICS is Android 4.0) and it's the best version of Android by far. As well as this, ICS ROMs have full Hardware acceleration. This basically means that games and videos will play a LOT faster on ICS than on GB.

[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
Awesome post mate! This'll definitely help some users with space issues.

I installed via Clockwork recovery and I created the sd partition, maybe my partition is ext2 :x I don't know how to change to ext3!
"sdmove " and "sd watch" app this automatically detect the app which can move to sd
GUYS THIS IF FOR Non Rooted Users DOWNLOAD "SDMOVE " AND "SD WATCH" APP THIS AUTOMATICALLY DETECT THE APP WHICH CAN MOVE TO SD AND NOTIFY ON UR SCREEN WHILE INSTALLING A NEW APP........NO NEED TO FIND WHICH APP CAN MOVE OR NOT.......

if you don't mind partitioning your SD, go for A2SD

Or link2sd which works pretty well.
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
