I was trying to dual boot with bootmenu and when i install a ROM, i tried to install all of my apps with titanium backup and it said i did not have enough space. So i was wondering if dual booting takes up a lot of free space?
Okay, so yes and no is the answer. When you use boot menu and two ROMS, one ROM is on the normal phone memory and the other gets put in the place of the webtop partition. Which is why you make a backup of the webtop when you do so. So yes, the ROM running in the place of webtop is VERY limited on space as I believe the webtop partition is BARELY over a gig. However, your normal ROM hasn't changed as far as space goes.

By trying this a2sd version(which I love BTW) we will have to wait to update from this thread correct? And not from the miui updater. Just wanted to clarify.

You don't need a thread for this. DarkTremors a2sd is already in a app on the market.

Yes. If the update is available from MIUI it will be here as well.
Quick question when I partition my SD card through clockwork mod recovery it doesn't give me the option of choosing ext 4 or 3 it ask for the ext size and swap after I choose those two it starts partition, takes like 2-3 mins then says done. My question is shouldn't it give me the option to choose with ext I want???

You don't need another recovery to partition your sd card. There are plenty of tools for your PC that you can use to create an sd ext.

I'm curious to know how this is working out for everyone...how many of us use links2sd. And the ones who use it how much space were you able to save?
For me it seems to be working fine and i have been able to consistently keep 200mbs of free space..the ui is nice and easy to understand. What are the disadvantage to using this?

UGH.
What partition are you guys using.
I tried ext2. After 2 reboots all my apps disappeared and L2SD failed to mount partition 2.
I tried ext4. After "1" reboot all my apps disappeared and L2SD failed to mount partition 2.
I am trying FAT32, hopefully will work.

You will need to partition it first. You will lose all data on your SDcard so make sure you have your card backed up.
1. Go into recovery and partition your card.
2. Open up Link2SD and it will ask what type of partition it is ( I believe it is ext3, I could be wrong though )
3. Select the partition type then it will create the script.
4. Reboot phone and open up Link2SD and set it up as you would like.

try installing busybox, this should take care of the apps disappearing. it that doesn't work just clear both caches and then you should be good to go. make sure lind2sd is set to ext4 as your sd card should be formatted to this with the latest roms if i am not mistaken.

Check out the Play Store. There are tons of apps out there that will allow you to transfer apps to your SD card. Titanium Backup has a batch setting to move all user apps to SD Card (not sure if you need PRO or not)

If you click on the misc data it will give a more detailed break down or even better in ROM toolbox under the SD card booster it had a detailed breakdown.
If I had to guess though I would say you probably have like 5-6 cwm backups.

I had over 2gb of phone storage left and got the message. I deleted an old rom backup and it went away. Like kintwofan said, that misc is probably a lot of backups.
Oh okay that's probably it. I figured backups would he stored on my sd card. Thank you for the help!

Hi my tablet is experiencing storage issues although I don't have much apps installed... I have moved all the photos, videos, music on my external sd card, removed many games, cleared all the cache and now there is less than 500mb space available which is not allowing me to install new apps or update the existing ones also, my device lags a lot.
Pls suggest me a way to free space I don't know where all my space has vanished, I will also like to inform that I'm running on official 4.1.2 release and the device is not rooted!
Thanks
