Dont know which convert tool you are using but if it's Chainfires app then ~15mbs are needed on /system.pick titanium backup and remove some (2 should do,I removed ebook app and mini diary)system apps.

I don't agree with you if you take long term use into account. FAT based Filesystems like RFS will fragment, hence ext4 has a big advantage in these terms and it's absolutely not useless.
It might be not needed as long as you keep flashing new ROMs every few days, however.
Back to topic: Free some space on /sdcard/! For filesystem conversion data needs to be stored somewhere while the partition is formatted with the new filesystem.
you dont have to agree - but also you do not own MY phone
hence you do not know what is my experience with it
and i had both file systems and have not spoted any diff
also am not flashing phone every few days
can you point me to some source outside xda talking about fragmentation on rfs/ext4 you tlk about ?? or are you just repeating what youvef read here from self proclaimed gurus?
as for the space use chlorine with google preset -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145707

You are absolutely right, that there could be another problem with the last step of the conversion, as the ext4 file system might need slightly more space due to different meta data or block size.
But, he said there was no space for backing up the data during file system conversion:
...but I always get an error message saying can't backup data, not enough space.

So the error occured before writing the data back to the converted file system.
so you say not enought space to backup data

I'm using chainfires tool. I can convert the system but when it gets to data, datadata and cache it fails saying there is not enough space.

How much free space do you have in /sdcard/ ? And how big are data, datadata and cache?
This is what it says in the ext4 app.
/system
ext4, 25.1m free, 273.6m total
/dbdata
rfs, 121.2m free, 127.2m total
/data
rfs, 1.3G free, 1.9G total
/cache
rfs, 24.1m free, 30.1m total

So that makes around 626MB to backup from data, dbdata and cache prior to converting the filesystem, if that is done in one step in cf's tools.

Do you have more than 626MB free on /sdcard ?
On the internal sd card I have 333mb free

there you go!
you must have 700+ (to make it safe do 1GB free)
The small internal storage is catching up to me. I am running low. I've rooted my phone and deleted as much bloatware as I can. But I still have too many apps that need to run internal and I believe a lot of data for apps, even if that app is move to external, is still on the internal. I do clean out the cache periodically but it is not enough. Any other cool tricks to try? I guess I will eventually resort to prioritizing internal apps and removing the ones lower on the list.
man I love this phone but which the internal storage was bigger or I can take more advantage of my big SD card.

if you have rooted you can try link2sd or app2sdx
If you are rooted then have you thought of turning some of then into system apps.
This will move into system portion of the internal space which does not show up in free space.
In effect you have 2 partitions one for the Rom and needed system apps like home launcher etc.
The other partition is where you move apps to internal storage.
Move all gapps there, move flash player, and any other apps that are big on space.
To move either use titanium backup or root explorer.

You can't make the flash player a system app; it needs to stay in the data partition to work.

For all this time I had SDMove and thought link2sd and apps2sd were the same when it is not. Never realized link2sd allows me to move those "non-movable" apps to reside external storage. works great and was able to free up more internal space. THANKS!

If you're talking about making the most of the phone's limited data space (ie. for apps, etc.), then the thing to do would be to use some form of a2sd.

System apps don't go to SD card. only installed apps can.
Currently my favorite script is CronMod Int2Ext+.
You can grab it here:
[SCRIPTS]CronMod-A2SD/D2EXT/INT2EXT (updated 08/24)
Note: the script needs ROM (custom) that support ext partition and has init.d tweak.

I use int2ext+ as recommended by the devs of this tweak
If you want use this script with oxygen ROM (GB/ICS), remove 10apps2sd file from init.d. If you don't, your phone will bootloops.
I not a delevppler I m just simple new Android user my friend
I can't understand this language scripts and very scare to read this but I like it
If u can give simple advice then its possible I understand only apps download using that it
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
First of all, we need to know what kind of ROM you're using -- stock, CyanogenMod, etc. -- before we can recommend an A2SD script. Some scripts are not compatible with certain ROMs. As for using the script, the respective dev threads usually have detailed instructions for installation and usage.
I started with Froyo stock (170 MB user available memory), then officialy updated to Gingerbread stock (155 MB) and currently I'm running a customized GB stock (180 MB) I removed all the system widgets and those system apps I don't use. I installed from the market some 20 apps that I use daily. I used Titanium Backup to convert those apps to system apps and to move system dalvik to ROM. And this way I have now a very light (180 MB available), battery friendly and fast ROM (launcher and certain apps overclocked with SetCPU up to 748).
Of course, there are also apps that I use rarely. Instead of moving each of these apps to sd-ext partition, I chose to integrate them into a second rom based on CM 7.2, which I installed on sd-ext with Multirom Manager. Consequently, I boot this second ROM from sd-ext only when necessary.

What's "opt" for disabling system apps? Personally, I deleted system apps I didn't use, of course only after copying their apks to the sd card with a rooted file explorer and making a nandroid backup of the entire ROM.
I installed ROM on and boot it from the sd-ext partition with Multirom Manager:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828151.
When I used to move individual apps to sd-ext partition (not "directly" on sd card), I did it with Link2SD.
But in both cases (Multirom Manager and Link2SD), an sd-ext partition being required, I recommend Amon Ra recovery, which has a better sd-ext support, and not Clockworkmod recovery, which could not backup properly my sd-ext partition.

Use ungaze script, it adds ext4 partition to your internal memory
We use this kind off stuff on HTC Pico as memory is very low ie. 90 mb

I already partitioned my sd card months ago but this totally bothered me. I 2nd partition is 1gb and when i open settings->apps->manage applications, it still shows that my internal memory is only 190mb. What seems to be the problem?

There is no problem here
use link2sd to mount your 2nd partition then you can link apps to free up internal storage so you can install more apps
your total internal storage will not increase - only available storage if you link apps to sd card that are currently on internal or have lib files on internal
on most deodex custom roms after you have installed around 80 apps you will have between 30mb & 60mb of free internal storage depending on the data & cache of apps

I know how to mount the 2nd partition. All i want is to see that my internal memory has inreased to 1.190gb. Because in task manager, it only shows that i only have 190mb, though i already partitioned my sdcard for 1gb.

I don't believe you understand what a 2nd partition is/does
your total internal storage will not increase - that's impossible without repartitioning the internal storage & taking space from other internal partitions which would be stupid as you would take space from boot partition
an sd card partition is on your sd card so you split the total storage of your sd card into two therefore your total internal storage hasn't increased - you haven't put a bigger internal hd in
your 2nd partition size is displayed in the info in link2sd
what it does is take apps in internal space & place them in the 2nd partition - it then leaves a link file where the app was so basically the app still behaves like it's on internal but it's not
No, i understand. Well, that would be all. No problem anymore.

using Link2SD doesn't increase your internal memory/RAM ... Link2Sd makes it easy for Android 1.6+ users with root privileges on their phone to move applications to the "SD card".

If you modify the fstab correctly and make userdata at least 1GB you should be fine. I've partirioned my sdcard to use external sd, cache, system, and userdata giving me much more space to install roms and apps. I'd recommend a more powerful sdcard to take away the lag

Oh i see what you mean.. My bad boss
So I'm trying to get BB Apps on my OP2, So far I have the KB, Hub, Launcher, Camera, This requires me to put files in the /system partition, it's currently 2.72 GB filled out of the 2.72 GB.
I'm rooted, unlocked obv, running the stock rom.
Is there anyway I can resize the partition?
easy
Of course you have ways to resize any partition on your PC.
You can resize it using your disk management but only when there is unallocated space adjacent to the partition you want to resize. If there is no unallcated space next to the partition, theoretically, you can not complete this action. Because the function of "Extend Volume" is grayed out. Then you can generate one unallocated space from other partitions. However, you are unable to move that unallocated space because Windows built-in disk management has no function of "Move Partition".
But don't be sad. You can turn to a 3rd-party software to perform this task. Many free hardware(according to your computer's type) can be searched on the website. For example, Partition Assistant, released by AOMEI Tech, has free edition(Standard, for home and commercial use) and paid edition(Professional, Server, for business use).
Banterlel, If it is your personal computer, I suggest you use free version, because it is totally enough.
He's taking about repartitioning the phones internal storage and not the PC:s. However just as you've pointed out, there has to be free space adjacent to the partition you want to make bigger, which in the case of this phone would require to delete the data partition, resize the system partition and it's file system and then re-create the data partition (which means losing all user data/factory restore). Also there might be other consequences by doing this.

Not unless you remove them and reinstall. All stock roms and gapps packages install them to system partition

Next time flash a smaller GApps package. The GApps package installs all google apps to the system partition. This saves space on the internal storage (data partition). If you flash a smaller GApps package, you can install the other google apps (excluded from the GApps package) separately through the play store onto the internal storage and saves space on system.
