Is there a way to either a) make the data partition larger than 2GB or b) do some kind of apps2sd even though ICS doesn't support it? I've been reinstalling everything since putting on the latest version of the rom and have plenty of internal (and external) SD space, but only a few megs left of my data partition for installations. Would the partition be possible through CWM up to 4GB or higher through nvflash?

OK. Then, the easiest method is to use GParted.
0. Go to the Parted Magic website and download and burn the latest version of the Parted Magic CD or USB-stick image.
1. Boot into CWM, select the "mounts and storage" menu item, then unmount all mounted partitions. Do not back out of that screen--stay there until you're done.
2. Boot into PartedMagic, run Firefox and get the ADB binary from here. Save the adb.zip file into /tmp. Run these commands in a Terminal window:
3. Run these commands to make the internal SD card visible to GParted (use /dev/block/mmcblk2 for the external SD card):
4.Now run the Partition Editor (GParted) program and select the SD card device from the drop down list.
5. Resize the data partition by dragging the partition boundary, then select "Apply".
6. After the operation completes, exit GParted and run this ADB command to dismount USB storage:
7. Now back out of the "Mounts and Storage Menu" in CWM and reboot the gTablet.
