Hi!

After installing and playing around with some Roms, I found out, that
the internal memory is full.

I have found several informations about handling the internal memory thing - but I don't know which one is the right answer for Legend.

I used app2sd to install/move all apps to SD Card, but the internal memory still gets full.

Then I found a post in which one says that it's needed to make a ext partition on the SD Card to make it work right.

Can anybody tell me, what is the best way of getting more internal space?

I use the [ROM][RC3][24.07.2011] Gingerbread 2.3.3 with HTC Sense 2.1 - which works perfect - only the memory is strange.

I also made WIPE and Factory Reset before flashing this Rom.

Thank you!

best you can use apps2ext by darktremor, i have also used it on this rom and it works

some quick instructions;

-backup your sd card manually in windows/mac/linux, because making an ext partition on your sd card will delete all your files on sd card

-use clockworkmod 3 to partition your sd card, you can chose different sizes (i use 250mb and its enough) and you need only an ext partition ,cwm3 can be found here

-restore your files back on the sd card (previously backuped)

-flash darktremor (link above)

-restart phone

that sould be it ;)

I have flashed DarkTremor. But how exactly do I know if it is working? I converted my SD Card from ext2 to ext3 and I still can't move applications over. My internal storage space is still less than 20MB. Can anybody offer any assistance please?

Thanks

theres an app on the market which controles darktremor's script, just search for "darktremor" on the market its free, and see what is using your internal memory and if darktremor is even working

remember, your cache is still on internal memory and your text messages etc are to

Blayo's kernel has data 2 ext support so you can run a ext partion as your internal memory. I would suggest a class 10 for it though

out of my experience and the words of TheGrammarFreak (who made the data2ext script for cyanogenmod), data2ext is faster in benchmarks but slow in real use

and a class 4 sd is the best (words of TheGrammarFreak)

so out of my experience don't use data2ext but use apps2ext
