528 MB are definetly not enough for a backup. I had a look in my backup directory. The system itself need 300 MB and in my case the date came with 500 MB. Depends how much apps and music, etc... you have but in this case you will have to buy a bigger micro SD or make a seroius cleaning of your data

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.

The link to Darktremor A2sd is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719164
There is also a installation guide there. You can partition your sd card through recovery or Rom Manager.

They're the same, ROM manager simply initiates fakeflash (recovery)

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.

Well, I've told you again . And it's a fine way to partition the SD card, it's how I did it too

Just format your sd and try again?

Maybe your partition is not big enough?
big enough. i say its 800mb free
Yes , You have 800 mb but on general partion.Check out how much space you have on ext partitions.
I check it in the easiest way without anyy software.I'm connectin WF to my TV and get in USB and there are few drivers to choose then check info about and here it is.
Or with some kind of software in PC
Internal 25mb free, External (SD) 837mb free.
I advice you to make a quite bigger Internal and then check out'em

Moving to SD does not move the whole app to SD many times. Internal memory is occupied too, maybe 25 mb is too less? What's the exact error msg that its giving?
Have the same problem.
As far as i know APP2SD doesnt use the ext partition (just the Darktremor Apps2SD does) - but the APP uses the Froyo/Gingerbread buildin function and just saves some amount of the Apps to the SD card.
Somehow it worked for me if i try it a 2nd time (or after restarting the device in begin - after it worked fine for me).
But sometimes if I install apps it also tells me - not enough space - and i have 37MB internal left - even the app is just about 500kb.... - anyway it also works if i just try agains ome seconds later.
Annoying - but perhaps also works for u

Could you also tell us how 2 make bigger internal !??! If I dont want to disasemble my device and replace a chip?
As far as i know u just can get bigger internal space by moving apps or systemparts to the SD card... and thats where he has problems.
(But yes many custom roms already do it a bit: dalvik cache,.. - but u need 2 reflash another rom.... not part of this discussin atm i think)
i didnt have any problems with 2.3 nightly 49# and other nightlys or even 2.2 roms. But with new 2.3 RC1 i have these problems. so im moving to other rom

i have the 8 gig stock card that came with the phone. it used to have a lot of memory but after flashing a few roms (usualy virtuous) i noticed i have alot less memory. can someone recommend a way for me to clear out some storage space? thanks

Delete ROMs off the SD card to free up space....Or do you mean the internal storage of the actual MT4G[Max is apprx 1.1GB]. Use file manager to get rid of junk, or if you do mean the phone's storage then remove apps or use cache cleaner. If after flashing a ROM the phone says around 800-900MB then that's because of the ROM you're using.
Also, nandroid backups take up ALOT of space. Only keep 1 or 2.

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.
Thanks

?? 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
Hi all, so to start with, as the title says im constantly running out of space on the FN model 2015, so ive dived into the forum looking for help. First thing i tried was the sd card hack to combine my 64gb sdcard with the 8gb internal. Harra! it worked, but then i still run outa space as it dosen't seam to to use the sdcard space as i had hoped. It's like it just copys some of the data from the apps to the SD card like normal but without having to go into the each app and selecting external sdcard. Kinda thought no probs I'll download a custom rom with no samsung apps and with a min gapp giving me as much storage space i could get. I can't see one, starting to think there isnt one. So my question is, is it hard for me to take my backup of my stock rom and strip what I can out bearing in mind I'm a bit of a noob and have to follow instructions from the clever ROM makers? not to bothered about increasing the speed and looks just the space. Would be able nice to update them without having to delete a few and re-install the ones I deleted. Any advice on what coarse to take would be great. Maybe theres a ROM I've mist I could use and give thanks for?
Cheers

Hi,
Instead of using Adoptable Storage, make 2 partitions on your SD, 1 FAT32 for photos,music,documents and another EXT4 for apps data. Use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd , i tested it.
You can make 2 partitions using PC or with TWRP Recovery.

Thanks for your reply! I went down the apps2SD route in the end. Kinda mest it up a bit but have free'd up nearly 1gb of space so thanks, that's more than enough! %) I ended up partitioning the SDcard and linking all the apps I'm not interested in, excel,Skype,Samsung etc. Anyway what i didn't realise was that i had mest the other part of the partition up. Ended up re-formatting the SDcard in recovery back to normal and those apps I didn't want 90% of the data of those have now been wiped %)
