Step four: The white checkerboard icon in the middle is the app drawer. Go there and open settings, then CTmod settings, then Koumakernel settings, making sure to click "allow" when the superuser prompt pops up. You will have three options: None, Data, and SSM. For our basic setup, we will be clicking Data. This is what turns our SD-ext partition we made earlier into internal storage. Also make sure that "disable internal data" is checked (thanks kouma)
IF YOU ARE USING THE NEWEST VERSION OF CTMOD (3.75+) YOU WILL NO LONGER SEE THE OPTION TO DISABLE INTERNAL DATA. THE UPDATED VERSION OF KOUMAMOD DOES THIS AUTOMAGICALLY :)

Step five: Reboot

THE FIRST BOOT AFTER YOU SWITCH TO DATA MODE COULD TAKE AS LONG AS 10-15 MIN

Step five B: if the phone gets stuck at the koumakernel screen ( and by stuck i mean for more than 15 min )
Reboot back to Clockworkmod Recovery (by holding volume up + power until it reboots). Select the "mounts and storage" option and then select "format sdext" NOT SDCARD once it finishes, press the back button and select "reboot system now"

This was taken from the root for dummies guide :)
 
Then you're doing it wrong :rolleyes:

If you switched to data mode, it would have essentially factory reset your device... since it no longer uses the internal memory as the /data partition.

You may want to try a fresh install and re-read the root for dummies guide, starting with chapter 3.
