I have updated ClockworkMod Recovery for the G Tablet to support the internal SD card a bit better.
There is now an advanced option to partition the internal SD card. This can come in handy when the internal partitions get hosed (which seems to happen on occasion with this device). To keep it close to stock you can select a 2048MB Data Partition and the remaining ~13GB will go to the internal SD card. You also have an option to format the internal SD card space as well as mount it as /emmc. You can still format the external SD card using the existing advanced option.
This recovery still uses the external SD card as its primary mount for actions (install ROM, backup, restore, etc.). However, the recovery is configured to “fall back” to the internal SD card for these actions if (and only if) there is no external SD card available to be mounted.
As always, credit to Koush for creating ClockworkMod Recovery in the first place.
----------------------
This is the current BETA release of the CyanogenMod 6.1 port for the G Tablet. There are still several issues, but it is far enough along that I use it as my daily system. Please review issues and post new ones as needed at the Issues page linked below. Feel free to leave feedback in the forum, but I may not be able to follow up on it. The best option is to catch me in #tegratab on Freenode IRC.
CyanogenMod 6.1 Beta4
CyanogenMod 6.1 Beta4 - MD5
ClockworkMod Recovery
My site: bekit.net post
gapps does work, but I probably should not release that here. Just make sure it is the MDPI variety and has an update-binary compatible with tegra.
*Note:
This version now matches the standards for SD card mounting on devices with both internal and external SD card space. This means that the external SD card slot now mounts to /mnt/sdcard (symlink /sdcard) and the internal space mounts to /mnt/emmc (symlink /emmc). The device properly recognizes the internal vs. external space and allows proper unmounting and handling of the external SD card. This also means that some apps (if they were coded poorly) will not recognize the internal SD space as available SD card space and will require you ti insert an external SD card. I will see if I can do something about the default apps (read: camera) that have this problem; other apps will need to be fixed by the developers.
Changelog:
CM6.1 Beta4:
Updated SD mappings for internal/external SD space to match standards (see note above)
Using latest available source from the CyanogenMod repo
Updated kernel to latest G Tablet version (still waiting on source so we can build our own)
Updated to the lasted drivers available for the G Tablet
Included updated libGLESv2 from nvidia (Angry Birds!)
Proper setup of CPU values - this allows the folio Flash APK to install properly
Matched fingerprint and device settings to latest G Tablet values
ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.3 (2010.12.11):
Added options for managing the internal SD card
Using latest available source from the CyanogenMod repo
ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.2 (2010.11.24):
Updated SD mappings to match standards (see note above)
Using latest available source from the CyanogenMod repo
Enjoy!

Nice may try it on one of the other g tabs I picked up today.
Thanks for all the work
Happy Thanksgiving to you too!!! and I will enjoy this for desert.
Works like a charm! We all love you! Now wish this damn camera would work right >_<
Awesome, Thank you for putting this together!
Do you know if it addresses the slowdown problem that was present in cmb2? (After using it for a while,browsing etc would slow down till you did a reset)
As usual amazing work. Everything is rock steady. Only things I added were Spare Parts to maximize some apps and a certain keyboard replacement that starts with S.
titanium backup is not seeing my internal sd card, is this a known issue? also i'm unable to mount sd or external sd to computer, the window closes when i try to. the rom seems to run smoothly though.
Thank you Bekit!
First time posting here in ages. Is there a trick to getting the audio working? No audio here, except for a freak accident. Not sure how or why it started working out of the blue, rebooted now it's gone again.
happy turkey day!

Same here and Kobo wants /mnt/sdcard. I've uninstalled both and re-installed in case something changed with beta4 that they'd cached but it didn't change anything. I've found the Titanium Backup official support site (www.legendroid.com/forumdisplay.php?27-Titanium-Backup-Official-Support) but haven't done through it yet ... turkey'd almost ready so it may be a while. Folks out east (or north or anywhere that this isn't a holiday) may wanna check in there.
EDIT: Meant to thank you, bekit, for your work on this. Sorry, was distracted by the smell of nearly done turkey!
No SD card here as well. Do I need to install the newest recovery?
Will be kinda hard to download anything.
Thanks for this update! As with all releases, I will try this one out as well. It's great to have choices in firmware, and at this stage, these firmwares are really-REALLY nice.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!!!

Mind=BLOWN! Thanks!
I can't get the recovery installed. Can I get an update.zip?
I can't install anything from the market. I keep getting not enough room on card? I have internal card selected in CM settings.
I tried installing this, making sure to put on the new clockwork and clearing user data, and when I was all done and went to reboot I got "magic value mismatch" no matter what I did. I was able to get into nvrecovery but flashing the old clockwork wouldn't fix it. I finally gave up and flashed the stock image to get going again, blowing away my internal SD titanium backups. Not a huge loss, but if anyone else is thinking about trying this, copy anything important off the internal SD just in case.
*edit*
Whoops, scratch that, apparently the nvrecovery stock image install doesn't wipe the SD, everything was there when I was done and flashed Clockwork again.
This is running well and I am seeing very smooth scrolling in the browser. That has been my biggest complaint with the gtablet.

Try pluging in headphones and then take them out.
Had the same exact problem.
(Oops... missed the fact that it was already answered!)
Thank you SO much! This is finally a usable ROM for this hardware-rich unit.
I have two questions:
1. Can anyone compile/provide a tun.ko file for this kernel? I would like to use VPN Connections on this device.
2. Is anyone else experiencing odd slowdowns after the device wakes up? When I first boot the device works smoothly. After the device is off and then turned back on, I sometimes experience an unbelievably laggy performance...
Thanks in advace!
Ok, I have run this install method 2x today http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957&highlight=verygreen+sd+bootable *VeryGreen*
Now, I am not new to rooting but haven't been keeping up with my nook as I passed it on. Went from CM7 stable to MIUI couldnt' stand the market issues and didn't want ot deal with removing the up dater..blah blah blah ok enough of that
I have followed the instructions and was have booted CM fine but each time I look at my SD card I only have the one partition. Should I be partitioning it myself before doing the steps metitioned or should the install make the partions for me then I just write the FAT or FAT32 (<---top of my head) myself post install.
I wanted a dual boot but figured I would wait for CM9 to come out and wanted to test the SD install. Also, the system seems laggy and I would attribute that to the card i'm using but was also wondering if maybe it was from the partitions? I believe the card is only showing 120 mb used and 14 unused.
Thanks, for any help I have been working on this for 3 days different scenerios and used searches but I get so many dated threads.
~D
If you are using windows you will only see the first partition.
Sent from space
That would be why, hadn't thought about that but was going to into partitioning i myself this evening in linux either would have seen this or been worse for the wear. Thanks, seems it's still not running as smooth and I am thinking it' the card, I'll just got with old faithful for now and work on it more after NYE have a trip coming up and would rather have it in state I know works.
Cheers
Hi guys, I have the Huawei U8800 and it has the Official Gingerbread (2.3.5) B528 ROM and I read that I need to have 2.3.5 to upgrade to Aurora ROM, I did root the device and installed Clockwork Mod 5.5.0.4 which is compatible with that rom. I did wipe dalvik cache, wiped user data and all that. But when I flash the rom, it gets stuck on the Huawei Boot Screen and when I turned it off and on again it installed Android 2.3.5 on its own. On the screen it said upgrade firmware step 1 out of 2, do not turn off device. Any help would be appriecated as I have searched high and low for a solution, so I did try to find someone with a similar problem but I still can't solve it.
I'm sorry, but I think you are not following the steps properly. Make sure you go through all steps thoroughly.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NEED CUSTOM PARTITION BUT I RECOMMEND YOU CUSTOM PARTITION YOUR PHONE SO YOU CAN INSTALL BIGGER ROMS!!! (here)
Go to my Xperia Style GB ROM (in my signature) and follow the steps there install a ROM, but use Aurora instead of my ROM.
I think the 2.3 GB ROM installs again before you still have the 'dload' folder on your sd card. The phone detects it and starts installing it again.
Wow thanks for such a quick reply, I will try to follow your steps. Thanks a lot!

Elora ROM
UPDATE: I managed to installed the Elora ROM which is based on Aurora ROM and is working just fine! Thanks. Also I tried your ROM the Sony Ericsson Themed GB and it worked also . But somehow when I used your partition guide I messed up my phones internal memory (2GB) and I cannot access it from my computer.

That doesn't mean it is messed up.
The custom partition takes memory from your internal sdcard and dedicates it to your phone's internal memory. So, your internet sdcard's memory goes from 2GB to 1.46GB, and your phone's internal memory shoots to 1.2GB. This way, you can install bigger ROMs on your phone and install more apps on your phone.
I don't know about accessing the internal sdcard from your computer because I never even tried doing it.
Ok I managed to find a program on the PC that can read the internal sd card and it worked great! The weird thing is, I installed an Updated version of the same ROM (Elora 1.7.28) and it was much more unstable than the previous version, to be frank Im trying to understand if the developer is still updating the ROM or not since it is dated from 2012.
For example, downloading apps from the market were extremely slow and when I connected the phone to the PC, the PC didn't even detect I connected my phone and apart from that, usually in android it tells you to connect your device for usb storage, Android didn't even give me that.
So I restored to a backup I made of the previous version of the ROM (Elora v1.1.10 something like that) and connected to the PC works fine, android tells me for usb storage, and downloading apps from the market is extremely fast.
Although the phone is working quite well (Elora V1.1), some games like Real Racing 3, Frontline Commando and Frontline Commando D-Day didn't work. Apart from that its working quite well. Sorry for the long text.

I don't know about all those errors because I never tried Elora. But, the developer is obviously not working on it anymore. (Don't know where the developer is )
I decided to jump ship and go back to 2.3.5 using your Xperia Style ROM, it's much much much more smooth.

remove dload folder on your internal and external sd card before flashing new rom
Yeah, in fact that did cross my mind. Yesterday I managed to repartition my card now I have ~2GB to install applications (Internal SD Card) thx guys. But I do have a problem Real Racing 3 tells me insufficient space although I do have enough space and it is installed on the internal SD Card and not the SD Card.

Hi there XDA !
I can`t find an answer for my problem..even google did not helped me!
I bought Nexus 7 32Gb GSM (tilapia) to try out Ubuntu Touch and to play with other OS`s and roms. I flashed the device many times with native roms and with Multirom so the last events are: removed all secondary roms (Plasma active,ubuntu core and ubuntu touch), removed multirom with multirom_uninstaller, upgraded bootloader to 4.23, upgraded radio to 1231_0.18.0_0409, flashed stock Android 4.3 and installed again Multirom (multirom_v12_n7-signed) with kexek kernel, installed Bodhi linux.Then I tried to put back again Ubuntu core and the process was stopped with msg like "there is not enough space".When i check in "Storage" tab in Android the info is Total space 6.02Gb and available 5.81Gb..
Is there any junk left after the old roms and how can I fix this mess?
Please help!!!
I remember I was having a lost memory issue, not nearly as bad as you, but if you have root Explorer or some way to get to /data/media/0/multirom check the ROMS folder and ensure it is empty. If it isn't, then you still have old ROMS there. Not sure if that will help but let me know

If /data is empty then you have no files on your SD card I'm guessing? If you have files on your SD card then you are looking at the data folder in your SD card and you need to get a root app which allows you to see the data folder on the root of your system

I had the same problem and it was caused by nandroid backups, duplicated 0/0/0/0 folders (with allll my files mirrored) and misc junk items in my system. I used disk view app to determine where all my space went and deleted all the appropriate files. This was on my 16gb N7, which lost 12gb once. That's how I was able to recover most of that space. Now, whenever I do nandroids on my 32gb N7, I move them to my computer immediately. I also make sure to clean up with root cleaner every so often, wipe cache and dalvik, etc. Get the disk view app, it will show you where your space has gone. I was able to recover almost all of my lost 12gb on my 16gb N7 by doing this.

I understand this is an old thread, but I recently had the same thing happen AGAIN on my Nexus 7 32gb. This time I updated from 4.2.2 to 4.4.4. After the flash, I had 6gb of usable space. I reflashed 4.2.2 to no avail, updated my recovery, and checked all my files/folders. I found an interesting, unexpected solution...
I upgraded my bootloader to 4.23, then I re-locked it, and then re-unlocked it. Voila, it was back to my normal space (something like 27gb usable). I read somewhere this worked for someone else, so I tried it, and it worked. Locking & unlocking the bootloader could help others reclaim their missing unused space.

An alternative that is much easier if you're familiar with fastboot is:
fastboot format system -w
It completely erases your rom and the entire user data partition. The partitions will have to be reformatted in recovery, but you'll be sure that there aren't any orphaned folders anymore.

I'm always happy to learn new methods- the more, the better. Thanks! Also wanted to add, I didn't have to update the bootloader, I just chose to. It would have also worked had I simply locked & unlocked the BL. It was super easy & didn't have to reformat anything. Anyway, I have a list of commands I'm compiling & saving for future use, so I'll add yours to the list.

Hi guys! Non developer here!
I have J500H, 6.0.1 and I'm following this forum for a couple of weeks. The "not enough internal storage" bring me here to xda forum. After buying SD card and realizing that will not solve the internal memory problem, I googled everything. So the only solution was rooting the phone. I followed some YouTube video, used Odin, flashed Super SU, some recovery (TWRP_J500H_MM.tar) and now my phone is rooted. But since then it is slow as a turtle, major lagging and using the SD card as internal storage problem was not solved, so I was left with the same problem as not rooted phone. Because I'm a total n00b, I was reading and learning about flashing ROMs, kernels, and stuff like that, but since I'm not a developer it is very difficult for me. Sooo....
My question is:
Can someone please suggest some stable ROM, which will primarily solve using the SD card as internal memory, and be stable and not draining the battery. And because as I said I'm a noob, please link some step by step guide so I don't mess something up. I currently have TWRP 3.0.2-1 Recovery, so let's start from there!
Thank you in advance for your help!
The reason your phone is slow as a "turtle" is because you used your SD Card as internal memory. Remember, SD card memory will never be as fast as system memory, that is why your phone is running slow, and it is the reason samsung did not include this option. If you want, you can do like i did, move all the apps like instagram, whatsapp to SD Card, there might be few crashes (as those apps are not intented to be moved to SD card) and uninstall all the bloat ( trust me there is a lot of it )
This way, i managed to have a ton of apps on my phone, and still have 2 gb free internal memory. The phone is blazing fast.
Or you can downgrade to Lollipop and use Nick Verses cm 13, gl

Actually I didn't use the SD card as internal... But I want to. When I rooted the device I thought that I'll be able to to that by default, but I never did. I never got the "mount as internal" option on the SD card. I downloaded some app I think it was app2SD or something like that and I placed instagram and some other apps on SD, but it never solved the insufficient storage icon appearing. But since you are telling me it will slow down the device even more I will not use the SD as internal.
As for the bloat. I have no idea how to remove that. Is that a simple way to remove all the bloat apps? I only have 8GB internal on which System memory is taking 3.24 GB, and the apps taking 3,41 GB with only few apps installed by me... all the other as bloatware. I would taken a Screenshots, but as a new member I'm not allowed to post links on my replies.
So that's why I needed to use the SD as internal, or flash some custom ROM which is more optimized.
Thank you for reply and please suggest some solution for getting rid of the bloat.
With the J500H, most users are stuck on 6.0.1 bootloaders.
If im not mistaken there are 2 stable roms for 6.0.1 bootloaders.
1. Skiesrom
2. Cm 13 port by Zonik
With Skiesrom it is still in beta with many minor bugs but most are fixed by using different apps/settings.
Version 2 of Skiesrom will fix most of these bugs.
With the Cm 13 port from Zonik. The only bug ive really heard of was the mtp connection.
Check the thread to see if theres any more bugs

I would taken a Screenshots, but as a new member I'm not allowed to post links on my replies.
So that's why I needed to use the SD as internal, or flash some custom ROM which is more optimized.
Thank you for reply and please suggest some solution for getting rid of the bloat.

You can use my script that is going to uninstall all the bloat, about 90 apps, it is in themes section

I've done it! And I did uninstall all the bloat, and it freed some space but not too much... I still have 6,88 GB used out of 8. Even though I only have FB, Instagram, Messenger, Chrome and two other small apps. And FB started to crush every 4-5 minutes or so. That's why I wanted to try some stable custom ROM and use the SD as internal.

You use chrome right, than why not uninstall Samsungs stock Internet, that is another 200 mb and you say u have facebook and messanger, but you don't understand that every mid range phone will lag woth those two, combined those two apps take almost 1 GB of memory..

Hi guys! Non developer here!
I have J500H, 6.0.1 and I'm following this forum for a couple of weeks. The "not enough internal storage" bring me here to xda forum. After buying SD card and realizing that will not solve the internal memory problem, I googled everything. So the only solution was rooting the phone. I followed some YouTube video, used Odin, flashed Super SU, some recovery (TWRP_J500H_MM.tar) and now my phone is rooted. But since then it is slow as a turtle, major lagging and using the SD card as internal storage problem was not solved, so I was left with the same problem as not rooted phone. Because I'm a total n00b, I was reading and learning about flashing ROMs, kernels, and stuff like that, but since I'm not a developer it is very difficult for me. Sooo....
My question is:
Can someone please suggest some stable ROM, which will primarily solve using the SD card as internal memory, and be stable and not draining the battery. And because as I said I'm a noob, please link some step by step guide so I don't mess something up. I currently have TWRP 3.0.2-1 Recovery, so let's start from there!
Thank you in advance for your help!

Use alternative apps for Facebook try Metal for Facebook, it's tiny and very light with no need of messenger to chat with your friends.
There're some stuff in root folder, for example in my j5 2015m there's a preload dir with games and more crap installed by local operator that can be "erased" too without really messing your phone functions.
Personally I don't use Facebook nor Messenger...these are "greeeaatt internal space eaters". Use Zonik CM13

Hey, I am in EXACTLY the same position as the original poster, literally every detail is the same; I want to use sd as internal, I have a rooted samsung J5 (okay, J500M in my case), and want to know which custom rom is best for this. The replies above were helpful but no one directly answered the question: which custom rom allows you to put any/all apps on the sd card of a samsung j5?
Does Cwm 13 allow this?
Seriously, this phone is pretty much unusable with stock. The original poster is not exaggerating, about 4 apps that cant be moved to sd (most apps) and the phone is full. If I had known I wouldve gotten a different model... anyway, thanks for any/all help!
ok first of all, do not use your internal storage as main storage and buy an sdcard with 16gb or above (i use 16gb and im ok with it) and put all the files to the sdcard and set the download locations to sdcard (some apps would work and others wouldnt). second, limit your downloaded apps or put it all in sdcard(only move the movable apps, i recommend using link2sd on it). third, use obb on sd(requires xposed) if you want heavy games with obb files work even if its additional files are on sdcard. fourth, do a weekly cleaning of your phone. smart manager will do the trick but its recommended to use sd maid for more features. fifth, do not use any adaptable storage(sd card as internal) since it will give you very slow performance and it will be a pain in the butt if you flash another rom since you'll reformat the sdcard again. and sixth, flash a very light but very stable rom(flash zips that wont go above 900mb or more) and i suggest cm12.1 rom by zonik and J2UX rom by mitko7411. i'm currently using J2UX rom and i still got 1.4gb free on my internal storage and ive been using it for a month now and no slowdowns whatsoever in this rom

Yup, and you can't have stock camera on any custom rom
