Help Memory almost full.

I installed Lnt 10.1_0725 last night, dirty flash over another version of CM 10, Gapps at the same time, rebooted a couple times, allowing the TP to update completely. Aside from 2 issues, it seems to be running really well...

1. "Unfortunately, Android keyboard has stopped."

2. I'm getting a low memory warning, also. "settings/aps" shows I have 53ish mb available. I started digging through files to see what happened and I've found something confusing. While looking at the file structure under /storage, I see sdcard, sdcard0 and usbstick.

Near as I can tell, sd and sd0 are duplicated... I can't figure out which one I need to format or clear things out of... I'm sure this is pretty simple (or maybe I missed a new step 'cause I haven't messed with my HPTP for a while).

Help me out?
 
I did not partition. Back when I was using the TP regularly, there was never any need (or mention of it in casual rom flashing circles). I uninstalled a bunch of stuff and install the apps you suggested. After running basic AND advanced CM, numbers are as follows:

Boot/78% full, Cache/44% full, Internal/data/85% full, Micro SD/50% full, System, 57% full.

I sure would like to utilize my SD storage to free up internal data...

I'm thinking of going back to stock, then starting from scratch with the LnT CN 10.1 I installed last night.

Opinions?

So if you flashed CM10.1 without increasing your /system partition, you are most likely dangerously close to having little or no space left in /system. Depending on which ACMEInstaller you use,
ACME3 = 400mb, ACME4 = 500mb, ACME5 = 600mb of space on one's /system.

Secondly, don't start moving .apk's to the SD card. If you want to keep alot of installed apps, increase your /data partition using one of J.C. Sullin's size increase patches.

You really need to go read the OP of this thread:

[ROM GUIDE] How to install Android on the HP TouchPad "The Easy Way" - HP Touchpad - RootzWiki

In particular, watch the video that Roland just posted about installing Android.

And for the memory size increase patch, here:

Fixes for SDCARD issues for all versions of CyanogenMod - HP Touchpad - RootzWiki

Read the part of the OP about the patches for increasing the internal memory and the last 15 pages of the thread. Ignore the rest, it does not apply.
