[Q] Internal memory full

Hello everyone.
I'm running Oxygen 2.0.1 with A2SD enabled.
My internal memeory seems to be almost completely full though i have nothing installed in it.
I cleared the cache a look through almost all my apps, but i really can't figure out why i have no space left.
Usually i have more than 100MB free space even with many more applications installed, so something must be using all my internal mem.
Do i have to clean my internal memory each time i flash a new ROM or something like that?

When you flash a new rom you do a factory reset and clear dalvik cache. As for your memory being almost full, depending on how the a2sd script works and what it puts onto the SD card, data can still install to internal memory. Like the dalvik cache. If you can, use a file manager to see what is using memory.

could you please tell me how i use a file manager to check what's using my memory?

Use root explorer. It will show the space available on each nand partition.

Okay thank you all guys.
I bought root explorer and look around a bit, and ofcause i came across the dalvik-cache.
The Dalvik-cache is nothing less than 85mb, which is pretty huge right?
is there any way i can shrink the case/is it possible that the cache contains information from my old rom, which does nothing else than using the space?

You could wipe it through recovery then reboot and see what it looks like then..

I have a problem similar to this, but I had installed Intercepter-NG, and forgot to tell the program to use my SD card, and it filled up the internal memory with logs.
Now I can't get to the logs, because I have lost my USB cable.
Is there a free program for the Galaxy Y S5360 that will let me look in Internal Memory and delete the logs??

You don't need your usb cable to browse your own phone
There are many free programs, search the play store for a file manager...
Uninstall some apps if you need to make space
Or...is there an option within this interceptor app to delete the logs directly?

HTC HD2 512 running out of space?

using HTC HD2 512MB version, with MIUI.COM installed into the NAND
Questions:
1) I went to setting, and check the disk space free for the phone, adding up the disk space used, and free space, I only have 250MB in my phone? Why? How do I see 512MB in my phone?
2) How do I make the SD card the place to install all applications? like making it default?
3) When an application has been installed onto the phone; it says "30MB on Phone" and I hit the button "move to SD", and after moving, it says "140kb on SD" - what happen? Does it mean that it couldn't move the application from phone to SD? Or file size reported incorrectly?

Wrong Thread. You have to post your question in here:
HD2 Android Q&A and General
1)And also this is a stupid question!
If you flash a Rom in NAND then your free memory will not be 512MB because the Rom you flashed takes up your NAND space to start the system and start working! Logically!!!!!
2) If the Rom supports a2sd or data2ext then you can install several apps in SD card to save space.
3)Another stupid question. Well this is Normal.
There are several applications that can move to SD to save some Internal memory. Not all applications can move there though because you may corrupt them e.t.c.

misunderstanding of question (1)
my phone should have 512mb in there; after installing MIUI + apps to the NAND; a quick calculation total (used + free = 250MB only!)
what happen to the rest? (512mb - 250mb = 262Mb)

Download Titanium Backup from Market press on Overview and you will see your 512Mb space along with Free space and such!

okay, let me try

please bang your head in the wall and search google, this ain't your personal forums for finding if your phone is defective or not.
as for your case, your phone is normal, please keep in mind, hd2 is not native android phone, we are still running on the os.nb partition on windows phone (atleast on clk, dunno abt magldr as its closed source)and within that partition, we have other partitions for kernel, recovery, settings and cache.
so please stop posting such idiotic questions. and just try to think or atleast google before wasting our time and getting flamed upon by some stranger.

i know that google is our friend; but for a person who follows the miui tutorial to flash the rom into the device,
how could we have known what is going on? and what search terms to search?
FYI, I've tried searching for someone who has asked the same questions in xda, but couldn't find it,

Seeing that you already know a few of forum rules, that makes you look even more idiotic having posted a question in development section. I wonder if the mods were just playing around while they created the Q&A section.

[Q] Low disk space with Oxygen--what's the solution?

I've been running the latest version of Oxygen and my available internal memory wanders between 13MB and 18MB and always has. The same thing happened with Cyanogen before. A friend of mine with a slightly newer (12 month instead of 18) Desire has well over 100MB of free space. We haven't done anything differently except that I tried several ROMs before Oxygen and he went straight there.
After rooting with unrEVOked about 14 months ago I tried Leedroid (Froyo), then AuTrax, then Gingervillain, then Cyanogen, now Oxygen. I might've forgotten one. At some point I partitioned the SD card to use A2SD.
Currently reading as....

I have all apps on the SD card apart from widgets and Swype. Before every new ROM I wiped all data, dalvik cache, and battery statistics. I use Cachemate and even erasing the data from nearly every app (except LauncherPro and other essentials) still leaves me with under 20MB free.
I've seen this question a few times but never a solution except "Use Data2SD!"
I'd rather not have to do that, and I can see Oxygen working just great on another Desire so I know I shouldn't have to.
But what's the solution?
Thanks in advance!

Go for S-OFF with alpharev.nl
Then change stock hboot (149MB) to Oxygen r2 hboot (about 340MB). Then make 1GB ext4 partition for A2SD+, and use script for moving data part of largest games and maps apps to ext4.
About 150 apps (largest games and nav apps) and 90MB of free internal mem with dalvik cache on internal mem for lag free experience.
This combination beats any other's including data2sd. Period.

You have the exact same apps installed, received the exact same e-mails, browsed the exact same web pages the exact same amount of times, got to the exact same place on every game, have the exact same settings for every part of android/apps and have the exact same contacts as each other?
All these things use disk space.

Imho, it's completely senseless to use a2sd if you already changed to oxygen hboot.

Ext Partition isnt used

Hey,
I am using insertcoin on my desire and have a 1gb Ext Partition.
Titanium Backup says the half of it is used but my phone says my phone space is full.
Why? How can i make the Ext Partition use?
Metin

The fact that you got Insertcoin installed proves that you have a working EXT partition. Now if you are using the CM7r2 version of the ROM, be advised that the dalvik cache was not moved to the ext partition for speed considerations. That's probably the part that is full on your phone. I use FreeSpace app on the market to view every partition. It's better than the one built inside Titanium Backup imo.

No i am using a2sd and want the apps to be installed to the Ext partition.
Ive tried link2sd but this makes some apps like opera unstartable

They should be installed to the ext part out of the box. Although it's been a long time I cant remember if I'm right. And yeah using another app could just mess the script baadnews implemented for the rom.

And what i have to do?

What partition type do you have? Ext3 or Ext4? I remember using EXT4 with Insertcoin.

I use Ext4

I run the CM7r2 version of InsertCoin. Your apps are automatically installed on the EXT4 partition BUT not all the app is stored there so some of the internal memory is still used when you install an app.
How many apps have you installed?

I have 60 apps or so, but i see the apps folder is linked to Ext. My data/data folder is about 60mb, would it help to move it to Ext? But where are the other 60mb used on Internal? Which folder would best to move?
How i move it?

I believe moving anything will cause problems.

Are there any suggestions? I have a 1gb Ext Partition but i can only use half of it?

I ran this on Sandvold's ICS with a class 4 SDcard. This has a flashanle zip. But as you can see in the thread you have to manually install it. I tried the ICS zip with a fresh InsertCoin flash and it falied. I have not attempted to install it manually yet as I have been focused on installing and learning to live with s Linux OS...
Try this.
Edit
I meant to say the download from sandvold's site for the ICS ROM is a flashable zip. It appears that you need to manually install it for other ROMs.

I think the libs of apps like opera are very big.
I think it would help if i link them to the system partition.
Link2sd link them to SD but would it be possible to link them to system?

Read this...
http://docs.insertcoin-roms.org/master/en-US/misc/free-space-without-data2ext.html
I remember someone made a little script based on this to make it easy. There was a thread about it.

I ve read that moving data to Ext isnt good because it damals the SD but can i do it same way to system Partition?

Probably not. From what I understand, when the phone boots it reads the system partition first before it reads the SD card. If you link system to sd-ext, I believe the phone will not boot at all as the system files cannot be accessed during the initial startup since they are on sd. I'm not an expert but I haven't heard of anyone moving system to ext.
If you are really after more storage than the Sense hybrid, check the Supernova ROM. It's the official GB rom from HTC with a lot of space for apps. Downside is it's the old Sense.

I mean a symbolic /data/data/*/lib=>system (or may to SD, but system would better) because the libs are big.
I have tried link2sd for it but a2sd deleted all libs from SD.

[Q] How to get MORE free space in Internal after Link2SD?

hi all,
hopefully this won't be too much of a noobie thread, but I've done a fair bit of reading and cannot seem to find what I'm looking for...
I've rooted the Wildfire S and installed CM10.1 as below..

I used Link2SD to move my user apps to the SD card 2nd partition, however the phone is still moaning that the internal memory is low
looking in /data I can see that there are 3 main culprits..
/dalvik-cache (63MB) - this contains the .dex files for the system apps (and linked .dex files for the user apps)
/data (34MB) - seems to be user app data?
/app (7MB) - contains the files for Link2SD and Titanium Backup, which I have running on Internal.
so I guess I have the following questions:
a) is it possible (or advisable) to link the system .dex files in /dalvik-cache to the SD card? maybe there are some that are less risky?
b) can I move/link the user apps data somewhere else?
c) any other advice?
thanks in advance guys & gals.

There's an option to create a link for apk, dalvik cache and lib file. Just tick all of them and u will get more space.
M also using it same have enough space.

thanks, but I have already linked all 3 for my user apps.

May be u should then factory restore, again install all application. Last time m having something similar problem, even after linking I got very less space. But now with same apps installed have 40 mb space still left.
Have a nandroid backup, try once factory restore. If didn't worked u have the option to use ur backup.

Even though Link2SD provides an alternative way to install more apps on our device, it still has it's limits.........Installing too many apps will cause problems no matter how much the 2nd partition is free,plus CM10.1 gives us so less space in /data that we have less space to start with.
You can try to wipe once to see if some file is taking unnecessary space, or try an INT2EXT script for more flexibility.............but it might hinder a bit with performance

try using the int2ext+ script for increasing the internal memory for your wildfire S
flash it then partition SD card in CWM 512 MB then 0 MB for linux swap space. njoy installing lots of apps.
data2sd is also available but slows down you phone

I have to htc wfs, and cm10.1 i use CronMod-INT2EXT+_signed
And now i have big memory u need then only cretae ext partiton and have u more memory
and swap use minimal 128 for faster phone but then u must download "swapper for root" use it and u have great mobile
