NOTE:
1. Must have a rooted phone
2. Must have two partitions on the sd card (fat32 for everything, and ext2 for "expanding" the phone's memory).
3. Must have Android SDK installed (so that adb will work)
Ok.. So I got sick of all the commands running back and forth. I found that I'm wiping my phone several times testing out new things and didn't want to continuously put in all these commands to get the apps to sd thing to work.
Therefore, I created a file to automatically do it for me!!! I just run this file with the usb connected to the phone, and let it run all the commands.
I've attached a file "tmp.zip". Download this file and extract it to your c:
The folder it extracts NEEDS to be at c:/tmp
After extracting, navigate to the folder and double click on "appsToSD1.bat". Follow the instructions and you'll be on your way.
I hope this helps!!!!

EXCELLENT!!! I have already set my apps to sd... but I always welcome alternatives. Good work. I can't wait to try it out some time.
Thanks!
looking at the bat, it looks just like the commands from that other thread. Any1 game to try and share if it it works =]?
Nice, I might finally try this when I get home today...
Anyone try this out yet?
Just tried it
Failure, after last reboot i am stuck at the flashing android loader.
I did verify i was all the stuff the bat file said to look for

Since ext2 is a linux partition I would use a Live Ubunut CD to partition the card. This is the safest bet.

I have read how people do it through paragon Id rather not download a 700mb file just to format my card, but thanks for the suggestion.

If you have a good net connection it will download in 10-15 minutes. Worth the time knowing that method works
Also, having a Live CD is a good troubleshooting tool for future issues.

More than likely because you didn't have the partitions on SD correct. READ THE NOTE FIRST!
I think you're going to have to clear the phone. You might even need to re-install an update.

Nope, I'm not seeing a "/system/sd" partition on your phone.
Don't know how easy using LiveCD Ubuntu is... but there's no way it's easier than Paragon Partitioner...
I dl'ed it, Personal Trial version.
Inserted my G1 via USB.
Create partition.
Select sd card.
Choose size.
DONE!
That's it. Voila. Sd card partitioned into 2 parts.

I ended up having to use Ubuntu. I'm not sure why, I installed Paragon on my work computer (new, running Vista x64) and it couldn't create the partitions correctly... kept on giving me some error. I think it had something to do with mounting... So I thought maybe it's because I was on an x64. Took it home to my laptop running Windows XP and had the same problem. I finally got tired of it and got Ubuntu who worked like a charm

Yep, Ubuntu will work every time. Since EXT2 is a linux format, having Windows create it is a mixed bag. I tried creating windows partitions on my Mac awhile back and it was a disaster.
Does this device have a boot.img file that is accessible and editable?
I have the following details from the system files:

YP-G70 - 3 boot logos... wtf?
I successfully flashed the boot logo and replaced the animated boot logo but there is still a samsung boot logo showing up on this device.
When I boot I see my custom boot logo which is written to param.lfs after modifying the name of the original logo.jpg to l0g0.jpg and reflashing via odin. Heimdell won't successfully flash this device although it can extract the pit file without problems.
The custom logo in /mnt/.lfs displays for about 2 seconds then I see the original "samsung" logo for about 5 seconds then I see the custom boot animation.
I replaced the boot animation like this:
# cd /system/bin
# mv samsungani samsungloopani
# mv bootanimation samsungani
# reboot
I added my own custom boot animation "sanim.zip" to /system/media which plays just fine. Samsung have renamed bootanimation.zip to sanim.zip for no apparent reason.
I can't find any info anywhere about this mysterious third logo that shows up between the boot logo and the boot animation.
I found a logo file in /sbin/ called fota.png but it seems that it is not possible or at least undocumented on how to retrieve and edit the samsung "boot.img" to replace /sbin/fota.png with my own logo. Even if I did that I am not certain that it would solve the problem.
no one has any hints?
Turns out the "zImage" partition is located on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/mnt/sdcard/zImage
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/mnt/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/mnt/sdcard/param.lfs
hi i like ur thread
so can i change the
GT-S7500 Logo before boot animation
Hi!
I'm using this mod for some time, and i'm pretty much happy with it..
one of the "little" things which keeps me annoyed is that it just randomly reboots.. i'm going through the logs but i can't really figure out what happens because of my lack of programming skills
is there any tips what normally causes these? or what should i look for in the logs?
#2 i like games, so i want to play on my phone.. thing is, that most games just takes me back to home screen after loading for some time.. even those which i know work on the phone!
best example is "where is my water". i played it a lot, now it's hardly starting, and when it does, it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow. like i want to play Crysis on a commodore64 ..
currently the CPU is set on 1 ghz, i played with heapsizes, and now it is on 24
plus my avg free ram is ~25.. although i'm not using widgets or anything :\
suggestions?
Reboots could be cause by over ckocking.
1gz should be oka but what is vessel set at?
heap size should be 32.
i recomend the ram manager.

250 - 30
i found lots of ppl saying 72 is good for 1ghz
i changed the heap size to 32 and i'll take a look for that ram manager soon

1gz should be oka but what is vessel set at?
heap size should be 32.
i recomend the ram manager.

Also reboots could cause by sdcard.
Check it in openrecovery.
My xt720 is overclocked at 1GHz 66volt . On cm6.3.7 . Works incredibly well ! My average ram is about 110mb (no joke) with some "trick" . ~25mb ram is really too problematic to play where is my water . I almost able to play heavy games (temple run , eternity warrior , contract killer etc) , with the help of chainfire 3d . Install chainfire 3d driver if you haven't , totally awesome .

As fifalcon wrote the memory card can cause reboot.
The sdcard the phone came with crapy you want to replace it.

i have an 8gb transcend class 10, which should be in perfect condition, or does the log say otherwise?
the last random-reboot i noticed was currently after taking a photo, which has not been stored on the card.. that makes me think it's all about the SD card :\
how can i check if it is the problem or the connectivity between the card and phone?
the cause is the system..
i'm not saying that xt720's programmers here is not good enough but apparently building a perfect rom is a hard task..
maybe the specific cause of those reboots is something with the memory access.. i'm not sure is it only with external memory or internal too or maybe also with the ram access..
my other example is my phone always reboot after an alarm event.. not only after using an app or playing games..
hmm i should try to remove my sdcard and use my phone without it i wonder is there still will be any strange reboot..???
The frist thing the devs have done a great job thing could be diffrent if not for the locked bootloader.
The milestone is only 256 ram.

i bought a new SD card.. rom works like magic! thank you all!
strange it feels like with my prev card it hasn't even worked like this before.. maybe that was a fake? dunno.. now it's good
I have p3100 8GB and I saw that internal storage is only 2GB. is this normal? if not, what should I do?

It is 8GB total between all items stored. You have /data, /cache, /sdcard, /system, and then a couple other random items as well. The total of all of those should be ~8GB.

But isn't 2GB too low? Its only 2GB and I cant instal apps to sdcard.
sorry for my bad English.
I have about 3gb of storage not counting the space my apps take up.

Tab2lite beta 2
Storage lists my total space at 4.6gb.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using XDA Premium HD app
The memory layout on the Tab 2 is a strange bird. The 8GB is divided into two partitions of equal size, and you will always see the internal memory and virtual SDCard being of equal size. You really only have 4GB to actually install anything programwise. With Ice Cream Sandwich, you cannot move apps to the ExtSDCard because of Google's far-seeing "wisdom" that said that we would not ever need more than what they gave us in the Tab 2. There ARE some apps that will allow you to move some game files to the ExtSDCard like GL to SD(Root) and Directory Bind, but there really isn't a long term solution yet on how to move apps to the ExTSDCard consistently without need of special apps. I imagine that it may take a major ROM tweak that will allow this function. There is also a 1GB dedicated cache directory that needs to be cleaned ever so often otherwise Google Play will not allow you to install anything once the cache is filled. There are a number of utility apps available in the Play Store that will optimize memory and clear the cache...

So what should I do to get 4GB free space instead of 2GB ?

This is not right.
There are several partitions of the 8gb flash memory, not two. Not being able to move apps to an sd card is not an ICS issue but a modification made by Samsung. The cache never needs to be cleared, its size is 688mb not 1gb, and if you want to clear it (even though it offers no benefit whatsoever to do so) you can do it from the menus in ICS.

Do you have a terminal emulator app? adb? It's hard to fix your problem if we don't know more.

Yes I have terminal emulator app.
I have similar problem. I have p3110 16Gb and after installing Tab 2 lite beta 2 (I tested all other p3113 rom,stock and custom, and they all worked without any problems), memory went from 16GB to 8G. I can't find a way to revert this(installed the proper stock rom). One other strange thing is that i can't re-partition anymore using odin,it fails on that process. Any ideas?

I wonder if this will work without busybox but you should run
$ su
then
# fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0
then
# df
also
# mount
and tell me what you see.
It would also be helpfull if you could go to the '/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/' directory and tell me what you see.
For the guy that flashed tab2lite, you should proabably pm the dev and ask him for an odin flashable partition table for the 16gb version.
This is what i get.

You have the 8gb model and a custom rom. How did you flash this? I heimdal or Odin? What ROM are you on?
Your /data partition is messed up.

We can close this threat. I solved this problem myself. Formated data and cache and now I have 4.56GB of space. THank you matt30 for your help!!!
LG Optimus 2x (P990), Stock ROM, Android 2.3.4, rooted, ROM Manager and CWM Recovery installed.
My phone seemed to be getting rather slow so I decided to clear the cache and the Dalvik cache, from the recovery menu, to see if it would speed up the phone a little. Both processes completed without errors and I rebooted the phone.
The phone now works faster and is completely normal except for one thing. I find that I cannot now download any apps from Google Play as I get an error 498. If I look at a DF listing in a terminal there is no /cache listed. If I look at the results of 'mount' in the terminal I cannot see a cache partition either.
I have tried clearing the cache 3 times now with no success. I have also tried Cache Fixer but that gives errors if I try to move the cache 'Cache has NOT been moved'. I assume that may be because there isn't a cache partition now. I also tried restoring the cache using a partial restore from a nandroid backup which completed successfully but hasn't cured the problem - I still don't seem to have a cache.
EDIT: I've just had a look at the partition using fdisk and this is what I see:
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0p2: 4 heads, 16 sectors, 2048 cylinders
Nr AF Hd Sec Cyl Hd Sec Cyl Start Size ID
1 00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00
2 00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00
3 00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00
4 00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00
Doesn't look good!
FURTHER EDIT: That bit about fdisk above is wrong. I thought that I was looking at a device but it was a partition.
Using fdisk on the proper device I get:
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 7996 MB, 7996440576 bytes

If I try and unmount, mount or remount the cache partition I get 'Invalid argument'.
I have run a file system check on that partition and it shows 'clean'. So, to summarise, the cache partition is there, the file system is clean but it isn't being mounted and I can't mount it either. I'm baffled.
I would be really grateful for some suggestions.
I've made a correction and added some extra information under 'FURTHER EDIT' so I've bumped it.
I have the same problem on motorola defy (jordan)

Sorry for the very late reply but I've only just seen your post.
Yes I did solve it. It was because the partition had been formatted ext4 which my current OS didn't recognise. It used ext3 so I reformatted it manually via a terminal and all was well.
