SHould the "internet phone storage" ammount have gone up in sd and phone storage in settings, or will it just ramain at the default.

Mine is 109mb currently, and i installed another app and it stayed at 109, is that what its meant to do?

Is it possible to browser to the folder where all the apps are now stored? Im using astro file manager.

Internal storage remains the default , Your apps are on the sdcard's ext2 partition. You see it under system/app/ .
There is a check script which should be load to gscript as app2sd and it will show tells you the free space.

No , I didn't try it to remove it . My phone contains it in the factory default setting .Try a factory reset if you backup the phone and reroot the phone and install gscript and run check .

The size will go down, but not by much, I've got 28 apps installed and mine is sitting at 112meg, it was 126meg to start with, so it must be the app cache, that does that.
Your information is held in data/app (using root explorer)

Thanks..

Your Root/Unroot works great, so Thanks..

Unfortunately, I could not get this way of installing app2sd to work, but the other method did work on a friends(windows 7), so i had to use that way(in the other thread), but works fine now..

UPDATE: My app count has increased, but it has stayed at 112meg, so maybe it's some sort of cache/log file for the initial space change.

I forget to wrote that the app2sd made by polish guys and posted by me works after the phone is restarted and gives the stderr error and the 2 folders from the zip should be in the root of the sdcard.After the stderr it says something in polish " restartow "or something like that (Sorry it is the original version and I am not speaking polish) .Even the stderr error it finish the process succesfully .If it fails you will see . There is also a check script to check it after restart .

I have followed joestones guide on how to install app2sd.

However I keep getting the error:

stderr: mkdir failed for /system/sdcard,
File exists

What am I doing wrong?

How did you get it to be 126meg to start with?

Even with a fresh install of the Baltic 2.1 my free internal space wasonly 122meg, and that was without any apps installed.

I honestly don't know..its just what i got, the guy on page 1, he got 109meg.
It was 126meg, it went down to 112 with around 28 apps installed..i uninstalled them all bar Astro, and it went back up again, but installing them all it got to 115, and when i installed titanium backup, it installed busybox, which took it to 112meg, where its at now.

Does it write at the end something like that "gotowe , mozna zrestartowac" ?
If yes restart the phone . After restart your apps on the sdcard.

You can always use the other way in this thread.
I had to do it that way, and it works.
