[Q] Possible to make 512 Rom 1024 Rom?

I have a TMOUS HD2 1024 from the US go live release (red reset button). I have been using various Android builds for a few weeks now and love the MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v2.2 (11 JAN). My question is this:
If I use one of the builds made specifically for the 1024 ROM will I see better response times? I know they are compatable since I am already using a 512 but more importantly would there be any benefit using a ROM designed for the 1024?
If there is a differnece is there a way to modify this build so it takes advantage of the full 1024 ROM? I have seen discussion related to changing the size of some spicific files that modify storage sizes but am very novice to phone edits and quite cautious. Any help would be welcomed and if this has already been discussed a simple link would be most appriciated.

With 1024MB ROM, there are no advantages in terms of speed performance.
However, you do get space advantages.
If you flash a 350MB ROM, 350MB is being used by the system partition, a small amount is used by the boot partition and cache, then the rest are all userdata partition, which gives you around 500MB free space to install apps and store user data. (SMS, etc)
People with 512MB ROM, 350MB is being used by system partition, minus boot, cache, you have like around 50MB to 100MB left which isn't much for apps and user data. Which is why they need to use A2SD+ or DATA2EXT or similar methods of increasing userdata storage.
Try using Clockwork Recovery. You will have ALOT of free space. Even if you don't do A2SD+ partition, since MDJ's Gingerbread Cyanogen uses less than 150MB for system partition.

[Q] How create/make bigger app partition Android 4.0.3

I have LEO T8585, and when i flash Android 4.0.3. NAND (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354267) i have only 100MB for apps. I tried this HD2 Android NAND toolkit to make partition bigger but no luck.
No matter what size i choose i'll get same size for downloaded apps - 100MB.
Im not total noob flashing NAND ROM-s , but do i miss something?
Or is it possible to make this partition bigger?
Thanks

First, the space shown as available doesn't include the system, boot or cache partition size, only the data partition size, and since during flashing, the data partition size is set to be whatever is left over after the rom is flashed, the only way to increase data size is by reducing the system partition size, , but then of course the rom wouldn't fit (because you flash the system partition to be only fractionally larger than the size of the system folder contents, if you flashed a larger system partition, the extra space would be wasted, unused by anything, example put a rom requiring 150mg onto a 250 Meg layout and you lose 100mb)
Secondly, if you set up an ext partition on the SD card, the rom will consider that internal memory BUT (on most roms) wont show it on the available internal storage calculation, but it WILL use it as internal.
third, the 4.x roms are still beta, and vary as to sizes required, whether they have ap2sd+ built in or whether you need to manually install and configure it. If you are looking for a rom you can keep as a daily for a while, wait until 4.x is a few more betas along.

Thanks!
Thats what i thougt. I made minimal part. 190MB and got 100 extra. My ext. on SD is 1024. For now its ok. And this 4.0 beta 10 it is very nice ROM, looks stable and smooth on HD2.

[Q] unusable internal memory

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..

System partition size on XtreStoLite ROM

I've flashed the XtreStoLite ROM, which claims to be reduced to ~1gb but my system partition remains over 4gb in size, is this normal, or did I do something wrong?

Very little space left in system rom! - How to clear space?

In titainium backup, it shows 150mb free of 2.60 gb in system rom.
I've just rooted the stock oxygen os 3.1.0.
Is it because stock 3.1.0 file zip is 1.1gb big?
Or is it because of the google apps?
Also, how should I clean stuff for more space?
I feel the nandroid backup I've created (2.5gb) is in the system partition but this makes no sense.
Also, installing Xposed modules and other apps, will they consume this System rom space or not?
Is 150mb more than enough and normal or will I need or space?
I've got a lot of space in Internal memory, around 46 gb.
Screenshot added .

You could use a debloat zip but it won't change the fact all apps that were system will use the data space... If save space is your thing integrate updates to system

It's oxygen os that takes the space don't worry it's normal
