Root CelbFroyo 4.3

Ok so I flashed Celb and my sd card is half full. It was maybe a 1/4 before I flashed. Is this normal with this rom?

No.

If you expand the CELB 4.3 zip file, you'll see that there is absolutely nothing that gets copied to your SD card by the install. I'm not sure which Google apps package you installed, but if you expand that I'll bet that you see nothing under /sdcard (which would be the things that get copied to SD.)

Of course Nandroid backups take up space, but that's on the order of 100-150 MB.

Perhaps you have an app storing data or cache on the SD card?

This app: Download DiskUsage for your Android phone on AppBrain will show you what is taking up space, both on SD and within internal storage, if you are curious.

Thanks I'll check it out.

It looks like band backups.

you can delete old nand backups if you're not using them.

Yeah I ran into the same problem. I never realized how big they were and about 3 weeks ago, I only had about 2 gigs left on my card. I knew I transferred apps over but still not THAT much. I went in and found I had about 12 nand backups. I deleted about half of them and it cleared up 2 gigs on my card. Much better. Lol.
