First Ever HTC Phone

Hello guys,
I am very new to HTC phone and i managed to root my htc desire
using this guide nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire
after root you can see in the picture i have App2sd enabled in pictures but my internal phone memory is still going lower. I have couple of gameloft games installed Ashphat 5, RealFootball, Gangster,heavy gunner and hawx and apps like astro, act1, documents to go.
I tried installing Darktremor A2SD version 2.7 but phone kept on restarting after htc logo so i rooted the phone again with nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire guide.
My phone is on orange contract uk. I don't want to brick this phone.
please guide me to the right direction to install right rom with apps2sd+ or apps2sd so that every thing gets installed on sd card instead of phone memory. I have been reading this forum and Modaco forum for couple of days now. I can't get apps2sd to work properly so i can have loads of phone memory.
I have 16gb Sd card class 2 during apps2sd process i made Goldcard with sd card 4gb which came with the phone.
I don't want to brick my phone. what is the safe method?
Please guide me in right direction so i can enjoy desire more.
Sorry if i asked question which were asked before.
Thanks

I'm facing the exact same problem as yours. All the tests shows that app2sd and app2sd+ is working.
But, the internal memory still decreases. Till now, I have no idea how to solve this.

Apparently it's related to the /data/data/ folder still filling, I don't know much more past this point.

There must be another rom which has app2sd+ where application gets installed in to sd card.
I am not sure about if i should boot to some awesome roms posted here. Will try when someone who was in same situaution as me gives me thumb up to install new rom and apps2sd which works

As has been previously said, the application does get installed to the SD card. However, any "data" in /data/data is left in internal memory.
I have Copilot installed on my Desire. It takes up 18.50mb in total - 11.23mb for the application and 7.27mb for data. If I used Apps2SD, I should regain the 11.23mb, but the 7.27mb data is still in internal memory.

I understand that some data gets installed on internal phone memory. I also read in these forum people are downloading google earth and co pilot big application and they still have over 100mb data left in internal memory. I haven't installed apps2sd+ i only have apps2sd normal when i followed this guide nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire.
I wanted to know is there any other rom which has apps2sd+ which store majority data in sd but not internal rom.
Which rom do you think is better for newbie like me. Modaco customer R3 which has app2sd+ custom build or any other free rom in htc Desire Android Development thread?

[Q] still cant transfer apps to sd on froyo 2.2 htc desire

hi to everyone.
plz plz if any body can help me m going to become mad installing and uninstalling apps on htc desire due to low memory msg.
what i have done yet.
1.i while putin rooted official htc rom with busybox, did partition of the sd card and updated the partition to ext 2then to ext3 during the process(dont exactly remember the process name) .
2.then had app 2 sd application from market, i moved applications to sdcard but the phone memory still went down.
3.then i changed the setinstalllocation on phone through adb shell to sdcard for full apps installation to sdcard but still the phone memory goes down.
4. i also used the default apps tranfer to sdcard in froyo 2.2 but no change of low memory msg
i have literally uninstalled every new app, one or two has remained and to avoid low phone memory msg i have just kept at 15mb free.
what i do???? i am becoming mad plz help me anyone.
millions of thanks for anyhelp.
should i use rom manager for partitioning the memory card again or gparted live cd.

I don't know if someone bothered to tell you but the apps don't move completely on the sdcard. For example I use the froyo apps2sd because my card went dead 10+ times when partitioned. The google earth app is 22MB and when I "move" it to sdcard it gets to the astonishing 16MB on the main memory.
If you wish, partition the card with rom manager, do a full wipe, then try to insall the apps again and see how it goes. I hope you will be lucky

thanks for the reply freakzone,
actually whatever way i have used, the application does show that the file has moved to sdcard, the app memory itself also changes but overall the phone memory is the same with no change.and low memory msg on top.
you mean partitioning sdcard is risky should i give it a try???

It might work for you, try it, but make sure you make a backup, mine died many times

thanks alot dear, will do it when the emergency in ward gets over..

[Q] Installed CR BlissMod007, can't install apps, although sufficient space free

Hi dear xda-community.
I'm new to the forum but calm down, yes I used the search engine to find my solution, but to my problem I could'nt find one so far. Maybe you can help
I installed the recommended Radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 and flashed my old (very old ) Defrost v.6.1 with Android 2.1 to BlissMod007 with Sense 3,5 and Android 2.3.3., full wipe of internal memory beforehand included.
It worked fine so far but I can't install any new app from the new android market. It says that there is no free space but its not true.
Internal Memory: 50 mb free
Sd : 4,7 Gigabyte of Space
What I tried:
- to move apps from internal memory to sd card
- deinstalled lots of apps to gain even more free space
#
Anyone an idea what I can do w/o flashing it again? It would really help!
Many thanks in advance!

Maybe changing to cm7r2 hboot would solve your problem. If you're on it, then try to repartition your SD card.

Ok that sounds nice. I think I can handle this, the rest will tell me dr. google Many thanks for your reply. I'll report if it worked, but it'll take some time because I won't be able to work on my desire until Tuesday next week.
Thank you!

[Q] Memory card problems

Hey hope somebody can solve this problem
I bought a new 7 GB SD card for my Wildfire not so long ago and saved most of my apps from the phone accross to it. All was fine for a while until my phone alerted me saying that it was low on storage space. On checking the memory card I noticed that I still had well over 6 GB of free space. All the apps that I checked are saved onto the SD card and some don't give an option to be moved to SD card. This is also stopping me from downloading new apps and also all the apps I have wont update as it says there is no space, even though there is plenty.
My wildfire is NOT rooted and has the original HTC installed Android OS (Froyo 2.2.1)
I am planning on rooting the phone and putting on a custom ROM in the future but in the meantime I was wondering if there was a solution to this problem.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks, Wooster

When your deivce say that you are low on storage than it means that you don't have enough internal memory space left!
You cannot move many apps to your sd card because your device is not rooted.
I would recommend you rooting your device to solve that problem because then you can create custom mtd partitions and installing a2sd script (both can be found in development thread).

Thanks for the reply. I will just root the phone then today. Thanks for the help

[Q] Help with data2ext on JT R30 please ?

Hi all, I have just got my first Droid (Desire HD) and I love it - I am an experienced techie (software developer) but have no experience of custom roms etc before reading stuff on this great forum
Anyway here is the situation : The phone is rooted and is running Jellytime R30 and 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M radio (had to flash this to get the GPS working).
It also has clockworkmod installed.
It has a 32gb SD card.
Now, it is working like an absolute dream and I have installed lots of shiny apps (including lots of paid ones such as copilot). Thing is that they are taking up lots of space on the internal storage. I have been able to move 60% of them to SD using the inbuilt feature but I am now considering moving them all to SD via data2ext (through ROM Manager).
Here are my questions :
1. Will moving all apps to SD give me a performance hit - IE: Does the sd memory (Sandisk HS) read considerably slower than internal?
2. What is the best way to go about it considering I have a collection of apps already installed and split between SD and Internal memory - Should I uninstall ALL apps and then partition the SD and then reinstall them all again ?
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
