I have a FP1 that says I have about 1 GB Internal Storage and about 13 GB Telephone storage. The internal storage seems to be exhausted. All applications I could move from Internal to Telephone storage have been moved. Only app’s that reside on internal storage won’t update anymore. So I think repartioning is the thing to do. But how do I do that? Can anyone describe this in Dutch step-by-step? Starting with what I need? Since I am not the most experienced user, please keep it simple.
Perhaps the more clever girls and boys can write such a guide in their own language.
Can it wait till Friday? I then have translated the step-by-step guide mentioned by @stojmas into Dutch.
Thank you and yes it can wait till friday. The updates are now waiting so long those few days wont matter. In the meantime I will pláy with my new 32GB SD card and MyBackup Pro. The latter won’t do what I want it to do (make backup of application with data). It stops somewhere and there is no backupfile. Enough to find out till friday (or saturday)

Hoe kan ik upgraden naar de één interne opslagruimte
(dit is enkel van toepassing voor eerste editie Fairphone-eigenaren)
15 september 2014 17:31 uur.
Met de softwareupdate 1.6 (named Cherry =kers) krijgen de Fairphone
eerste editie-eigenaren de kans om hun interne in tweeën gesplitste opslagruimte om te zetten naar 1 grote interne opslagruimte.
Deze nieuwe grote opslagruimte is een verbetering van de oude situatie,
want de oorspronkelijke interne opslagruimte bestond uit een een zogenaamd intern deel en een telefoondeel.
Dit gaf soms foutmeldingen zoals “insufficient storagen =niet genoeg opslagruimte” of “internal storage running out =de opslagruimte zit bijna vol”.
Let op: Het is beslist nodig om een backup te maken van al je instellingen
en bestanden, want bij het upgraden naar deze speciale opslagruimte wordt
álle data van je Fairphone gewist.
Je kunt deze upgrade uitvoeren met behulp van de Fairphone Updater app.
Volg de stappen in de juiste volgorde om naar de nieuwe opslagruimte
te upgraden.
Stap 1:
Maak een backup van je Fairphone (volg zo nodig onze instructie Backing up your personal data).
In de volgende stappen zullen alle instellingen en bestanden verwijderd worden, dus zorg voor een goede backup.
Stap 2:
(hint: Je moet per se gebruik maken van wi-fi.)
Tik op de ‘Fairphone Updater’ app:
Stap 3:
Tik op ‘Fairphone Os’
en in het volgende scherm op ‘Storage Upgrader Cherry 1.6’
Stap 4:
Tik onderaan op 'DOWNLOAD AND UPDATE’
In het geel zie je waarschuwing “THIS WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA = Dit verwijdert al je data”.
Stap 5:
De upgrade wordt nu gedownload en geinstalleerd op je Fairphone.
Als dit klaar is, zal de Fairphone vanzelf zich herstarten.
Belangrijk: Als je de melding ziet “Fairphone OS is requesting Superuser access =Het Fairphonesysteem heeft superrechten nodig”, kies dan altijd voor "Remember choice forever =onthoudt deze keuze altijd” and “Allow =toestaan”.

Hello
Maybe it will help using Link2SD.
Look on my Post on Storage update: No possibility to move apps.
Best regards
Bobby
@A_J, did you find a solution yet?
Restoring single apps from Titanium Backup, one by one and without any of the Google apps, and rebooting after every restore, could be a way to find out if one app causes this behaviour.
In my case, I have not problem since I did something like that. I kept the system apps and the Google stuff as it came, and just restored apps I bought, one by one. (Later, I also tried to restore a system app, i.e., the Notepad, with it’s data). Seriously, no problem since then.
@humorkritik Thanks for the advice. I will try this as soon as I have a little more time. Even though it means to do the whole restoring process again. 
@Bobby Thanks, too. However, I’d like to have a more permanent solution rather than a work-around…
Hi @humorkritik!
Any updates on the “not enough space” situation? It became problematic for me, so if you still do not experience the same problem, I will factory reset my phone again.
Hi @dib0,
thanks for the reminder. 
I had no further “not enough space” problems after wiping, re-installing Titanium Backup pro, and restoring apps one by one (including only some system apps, like the notepad).
(Currently, my FP is partly defunct; got to send it back to have the service look at it. I wiped it, and will restore the same way like described above when I get it back from FP service.)
Lidwien, worked like a charm. Was wel even wat werk, maar ben weer een happy fairphone gebruiker! Willem
I had the same problem after upgrading to a unified storage partition. Clearing just the cache was unfortunately not a solution, so I did a factory reset following these instructions (including “wipe cache partition”). After that I used Titanium to restore my apps one by one, excluding all Google related apps. For me this solved the problem, although it took some time to fix it, I’m now very happy that I can enjoy the full storage capacity.
Hi all!
So this week my banking application stopped working and I couldn’t update. I decided now was the time to try this fix again. And it seems to have worked. Followed the description to the letter. Installed all apps individiually from the app store and restored the data for some of the apps with Titanium Backup (the first thing I did was install Titanium backup and restore the phone ID back the the previous one, and after that install the apps).
It looks like the problem is gone. So thanks all for the support and especially @humorkritik!

Glad to hear that!
Just FTR, personally, I didn’t go through the hassle of installing all apps from their respective sources (PlayStore, F-Droid etc.). I just installed TitaniumBackup, and restored the apps (in most cases: app + data) from the backup, one by one.
I finally had some time for a “factory reset” of my FP and (after xposed-framework, xprivacy, gravitybox, f-droid-store and f-droid-apps were installed) reinstalled every app via the GooglePlayStore (via their website because tapping on the phone for so long made me crazy). I then only restored the settings from the apps I really needed (I manually restored K9, Threema, TextSecure and after everything else the settings from xprivacy).
Since then everythings goes smooth, no more errors. What a relief…

Hey guys, seems like the problem is not resolved yet, is it? I did most of the things mentioned above and nothing did work, due to some inadvertence I now lost most of my photos and data for the second time in two months. Due to some mistake backing up I am actually worse off now than before, because once installed apps which I installed since the last backup cannot be installed anymore after the partition upgrade…even though I usually arent bothered by some problems with the FP, this begins to start annoying me as well :-/
For my fairphone first edition it was indeed, as mentioned above, so that only 1 Gb of internal memory was available for apps. After deleting enough (in total 50 Mb) apps everithing works fine again. I was told that the system keeps a minimum of 100 Mb free, so if less is left no apps will be installed. Thanks everybody for helping me out.
In my case, it is.
Could you explain in a little more detail what steps you took, and what happens when you try to install the mentioned apps? I hope we can help you out, since my problems seem to be gone, and according to this thread, I’m not the only one who succeeded.
In a nutshell, what helped in my case was wiping everything and restoring non-system apps including their data one by one through TitaniumBackup. I also tried, in one case, re-installing an app from the PlayStore and restoring “data only” via TitaniumBackup. Worked as well, got a lot of content in there which would otherwise be gone.
The main reason behind insufficient storage is due to cache. You can view this page for resolving insufficient storage problem of android.
I tried to clear the situation with a little bit too enthusiastically playing the storage upgrade. Other than I thought initially, my last effective backup was from September, thus I lost some apps which I had installed in the meantime. The weird thing is that some apps can be installed through the Playstore (or amazon or f-droid doesnt make a difference) and others don’t, irregardless of whether they are 500kb or 25MB in size. Same applies for updates…I was able to update around 50% of my apps, others remain unupdated (some deliberatedly like FB, admittedly) because of insufficient storage space. But being not able to install new apps does affect me in the long run. True, I could try again deinstall everything and format the whole device, but I am not eager to do so again until I know this will help this time.
