This is great, I was always having problems with my internal memory, even after installing Link2SD.
Now, with over 500 MB of free space, that is one less problem to worry about.
Thanks, mate :)

@draltus:
This problem happens when you are using other sdcard instead of "stock" SDcard(sdcard included in phone in original package)
I bought 8GB SDcard and this problem also happened to me,but I reinstalled CM and data2sd script and now it runs great.

So try it and share your experience

Partitioned

Done partitioning. went with ease.
But I installed Link2SD rather. Now Im confused with using Link2sd. I put Auto Link Option ON and also I chose option to "install to external"
But after rebooting I could only see just 100 MB free
and when i tried to move the system apps It said it cant move system apps to sd.
If anyone can provide me step by step tutorial it would be really help full:p

Works on CyanogenMod 9.

By the way, the zip file in the attachment is corrupt, use the Mediafire link ;)

Why do we set the swap file to 0M? Can you explain this concept for this setup?

    This tutorial will increase your internal memory size

    my screenshots as proof in attachment!

    added screenshots with english language :)

    Requirements:
    Root/Unlocked bootloader
    custom recovery


    -this tutorial only shows you how to install fresh version of CM 7.2 with Gapps and bigger internal storage


    TESTED ON CM 7.2 AND HENSE MOD 4
    other roms need testing...

    This tutorial is made and tested by me on my rooted WFS
    First step:Backup your apps and settings with Titanium Backup, Make a nandroid backup and also save your whole content of SD card!

    Let´s go:

    1.Use POWER+HOLD DOWN to start BOOTLOADER and choose RECOVERY
    2.Choose wipe data/factory reset
    3.wipe cache partition
    4.Advanced->Wipe dalvik cache
    5.Ok,let´s go to increase internal memory size
    6.Choose Advanced->Partition SD card
    7.Choose new size of IM(Internal Memory),what you want (max 2GB), size depends of size your SD card, e.g I have 2GB sd card so I used only 512MB( new size of SD card is now 2GB-512MB=1,5GB)
    8.In next step choose OM
    9.Choose Mounts and storage->mount USB storage
    10.Copy files from attachment to sd card(download CM 7.2 :here)original data2sd http://www.mediafire.com/?757066a1516tdkt
    11.Now go back and choose Install zip from sdcard->choose zip from sdcard
    12.Choose CM 7.2 file ,start installing
    13.Next step we need to install Data2SD,which we have on SD card,so install it
    14.Finally we install Gapps
    15.Reboot phone
    16.Restore apps from Titanium Backup

    Screenshots from my phone in attachment

    Enjoy it.

    apicia: it works for me too, I used DATA2SD which is posted in my 1st post

    Updated Data2SD.zip link

    Credit goes to izi501 for this!

    Thanks much for this simple tut - I kept receiving "installation aborted" errors when flashing the Data2SD file, I have since located a version of Data2SD .zip that installed successfully and made this whole process smooth as butter.

    I found it HERE from the #2 post in THIS thread.

    Thanks again for the tutorial, and helping me help my wife's constant low memory errors :-/
