Hi, i'm running cyanogenmod 2.3.7 which allows me to move lots of apps to my memory card, however i've still never quite got enough spare space on my phone memory due to not being able to move any of the google apps (gmail, maps etc) and the apps that use a widget. So is there any way i can free up more space or maybe a list that shows me what is safe to delete using titanium backup ?

Cheers

The System partition in flash memory is too big for our rom, and there is alot of free space there, so what you can do is resize the system and data partitions by.

Reboot to recovery and back up your rom, this will wipe it.

download this file to your PC and extract the Swiftbootloaderbuilder.exe to the folder with fastboot in http://kulkoff.com/swift/downloads/SwiftBootloaderBuilder.zip

Connect your phone to your PC and boot to fastboot.

Open the bootloader builder and set System to 150 the data one will change accordingly, the click flash new bootloader and confirm.

Then click wipe data and reboot to recovery to restore your backup.

This method will give you about 100MB free space in memory for apps.
