Internal storage isn't like RAM. Having the absolute maximum possible left over won't give you the slightest benefit.

I know that... just wanted a clean ROM without preinstalled apps that I don't use, but also can't remove. OD is perfect it seems

Well, if you are after fast then I can recommend the dGB ROM. I'm currently useing it and very satisfied. Although one might find it too "basic" (/system is only 60 mb)

How about you search a plethora of other 'what's best rom' threads and read them instead of opening one more?

Omg I hope I don't see this right. I don't know who opened another of these stupidity threads. Should I start spamming links?
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.
Oxygen 2.3.2, with dalvik-to-SD zip flashed afterwards is really fast, great battery and plenty of space.
You can get more space by flashing the Bravo Sense or CM7r2 hboots before flashing the ROM.
I have the Bravo Sense hboot at the moment with the above setup and have 163 MB free even though I have 54 apps installed. There would be even more free space with the CM7r2 hboot, I just can't be bothered reflashing right now!
Search google for Oxygen forums.
I'm using insertcoin which runs very smoothly with no problems. I would recommend you try this

These kind of information is not helpful. Write all information you get and never ever "and so on".
Running any apps like SetCPU or a script like vipermod (controls the cpu voltages dependet on the clock)?
I had the same problem. My solution was to use a2sd instead of amarullz AD2SDX. By some reason my phone kept crashing all the time when i used AD2SDX, but it worked smooth with a2sd
(Now im running SuperNova because the battery life is waaay better and it works like a charm too! )

And how can you change back to a2sd from aramullz AD2SDX?? do we need to re-install the whole rom again?
I did so... didn't want to risk anything

HTC Wildfire S Rom & Partitioning 16GB card

Hi.
I think I'm going to install this rom on my HTC Wildfire S. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314430 (unless someone can suggest a better stable alternative)?
I have a 16GB sd card - how should I partition it (ie - what sizes)?
Im using mindhaxor's Rom. Its good for me.
Size depends on the amount of apps u r going to install.
If link2sd not more than 2 GB.
If data2sd. Generally no limitations.

[Q] Big Thanks and some questions about Supernova ROM

Hello everyone!
First of all sorry for opening a new Thread, but I am not yet able to post to the ROM Thread directly :-/
I want to thank everyone involved in the creation/development of the Supernova ROM, because I am thrilled with what it gave me!
I struggled with the memory limitations of my Desire over a year until I decided to give rooting and custom ROMs a chance and the first rooted stock GB ROM with APP2SD+ Support gave me much more space than I ever had before, but as you may suspect already it did not hold for long, so I searched for a more drastic solution and stumbled upon the Supernova ROM!
Clear and precise installation instructions, easy installation and now I got rid of the memory restraints once and for all! Thank you again for that!
Never the less I have two questions regarding the ROM and I hope someone can answer these for me!?
I am using 4EXT Recovery and excluded Cache and Dalvik from the backup to save some space, but I read the warning about wiping cache and/or dalvik so I am wondering whether I should disable the exclusion or not!?
Second thing is that the Android Market App does not Update to the latest Google Play and I am wondering whether I can do anything about it!?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
Guido
You will have to download the Play Store manually because, I used SuperNova rom some time ago and it does not allow market update because new play store is slow.
Here you can download play store

Yes, you should be including cache and DK in your backups. Otherwise the restored backup wouldnt have your app data.
Market update is blocked in my Rom, so as mentioned, you should backup the rom, and flash a Market zip manually. I'm still using the old Market which I included in the Rom.

Well, good that I asked before making a Nandroid Backup
Are there any disadvantages in using the "old" Market?
And one other question! Speed with all Data on the SD is ok, it is a 16 GB Class 4 Sandisk with a 1.5GB ext4 Partition! Is it safe to use Apps like SD-Booster to try out different read-ahead values? What would you recommend?
Also is there a short explanation / recommendation when one should use the DalvikOptimizer.zip?
Thanks again!

Why is that? And what about manually increasing the readahead?
Regards,
Guido
Change the line:
Code:
readahead=256
in the file /system/etc/init.d/01data to the value you like for readahead. 256 is 256KB. The effect of changing the value is different for each sdcard. You'd have to experiment on your own to find a comfortable value.

Thanks! But doesn´t the app SD Booster do the same?
And if it does, why not using it?

Use whatever you want. You asked a qn about the rom, and I was explaining what was built into it. If you wish to use an app to do the same thing, be my guest.

I only asked about this because the user "race55" said that using SD Booster would be bad and therefore I liked to have a statement from the ROM Developer, because I trust your opinion more!

Just needed your assessment about this!
May I ask another question?
Due to low RAM the task Htc Sense got killed very often! I took your advice and disabled unnecessary events with Autostarts!
Isn't it possible to just prevent Htc Sense from being killed?
Thanks!

It shouldnt be killed if the foreground task and Sense combined require RAM <= Free RAM. There are some scripts which allow you to tweak these settings. Search for Supercharger.

Missing 5GB+ space?

I have a OnePlus 3 and my phone has a total of 52.57 GB of internal memory. Out of it, 34.46 GB is used for all the personal data. So in theory, I should have 18.11 GB of free space. But only 12.8 GB is available. So where is the missing 5.3 GB of free space? I don't understand these numbers at all.
Somebody please help me sort this out. Thanks in advance.
please try a reboot! could be a problem of SDcardFS bug which is in the XDA news!

Thanks for the reply bro. But I'm not sure that's a bug coz the missing extra space thing was found on almost all the devices I used. And even my friend's Lenovo P2 has the issue. I wonder if that's ROM related.
Between restarting didn't help.
oh okay then. well I really don't understand why is it happening then. you could try the infamous solution of factory reset after taking a back up ofcourse. I guess that's the last option you have if nothing works.

Not fully sure.. But keep in mind that there are other partitions such as for your rom, kernel etc that need space aswell..

So you mean off the 52+ GB free space I get, some will be taken for the ROM? I thought I got 52GB space for user data and the remaining 12GB was reserved for partitions like ROM. Isn't that so?
This is just speculation, but some people think that OnePlus has reserved ~3 GB of internal storage for the .OTA folder beginning in OOS 4.1 (7.1.1). This may be used for Google's seamless system updates feature in the future.

Ooh well. There's no option but to get used to it I guess. Whatever.. thanks for the replies guys.
Check the oem_log folder.
If it takes up a lot of space simply delete it.
It got discovered recently that OOS is storing huge logs when using Bluetooth.
You can simply delete them without any issues.
It's a known glitch on OOS a reboot should fix it temporarily
That what mine was doing. Reformatted to ext4 and reclaimed the missing space.
