what else will i able to do?
can i install a stock froyo rom without sense for my desire?im sure that would free up some space?
Yes, yes, yes and yes If you want all of the above, you can get it by rooting.

thanks alot
how much memory free do you have on your desire?
does apps2sd move the entire application to sdcard or just the data?
This should not be in the Development forum, should've gone in Q&A
I have 100 mbs left after installing about 20 apps and a couple of games. Apps2sd will still use a bit of internal memory, but most of it goes to the sd.
EDIT: This is with ~30mb taken up from adobe flash and air on internal.

so it wont work even if i root my stock rom?i'l have to load a rom?
one thing im wondering
how come you guys are getting 140mb +- free with apps installed?
where did the space come from?
If you root your stock ROM then yes you can then use adb to remove system apps. The issue is they're not part of the internal storage but on a seperate system partition. This means removing them won't add space to downloaded apps
If you want to install hundreds of pointless, needless apps** then you're going to need a custom ROM which uses A2SD+ - LeeDroid is one example but I personally prefer either an MCR ROM from MoDaCo or the Desire HD port (RCMixHD). Both also extremely good ROMs
** This is my personal opinion, I don't use my Desire as a replacement for every other device I own so have no need to use excessive ammounts of apps

Tks
I don't have alot of apps
Maybe 20
Problem is copilot, flash, air, google maps etc
They take up alot of space, I'm not trying all apps
S-OFF then remove using root explorer
I have 69MB free with the following updates/apps installed:
1. Facebook (Update)
2. Twitter
3. Angry Birds (on SD Card)
4. Adobe Flash (Update)
5. Google Maps (Update)
6. Gmail (Update)
7. eBay
8. XDA App
9. Street View (Update)
10. App Manager
11. Dolphin HD Browser (on SD Card)
12. YouTube (Update)
13. EStrongs File Explorer (on SD Card)
So, for me, I don't NEED to root. I still do to try a new ROM if it's something that appeals but I love Sense - stock Android is so fugly
Hi,
If you're using Android (Froyo) you can I believe move, some, of the apps an data to the SD card using your existing ROM.
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications.
Look at the downloaded apps and highlight one, it may or may not give you the option to move to SD card. The ability to move to SD is dependent on the Application developer in question. Hence, this doesn't work for all applications and data.
There are also some Market Apps that can scan the list for you, I tried "App 2 SD" by Sam Lu which seemed to work for me.
Regards.
Colin

I'm guessing for removing system apps...if you don't know what it is then don't even think about it at this stage

most of them are on the sdcard according to sd move and i've checked
some cannot be moved
i've already done the adb thing to set my default location to sd card
so most new apps go to sd
all apps with widgets are on the internal memory
i cant understand why i have so little memory left?
Because you don't have a lot of space in the first place. If you want more then you have no option other than to go with a custom ROM which uses A2SD+
ive been flashing some cm7 nightlies today and finally got on cm7.2. everything is running well, but it just reboots every time apps are loading from sd card.. normally i can use the phone when sd card isnt inserted, i really dont want to wipe it, is there any way to find out what app(it has to be something, because apps stop loading in the menu at some time, and then phone hangs up) is force closing everything?

Hmm... One of the reasons why a custom MTD Partition is needed. Apps on SD won't function like apps on the the internal memory. I have apps on my SD and rarely see FCs. I would advice you check your card if it is error free. Your phone shouldn't hang.
My apps have always worked perfect from SD ext, its probably a corrupt file on your SD card and could be anything not just an app, hook it up to a pc and do a disk check, see if that helps.

i did a backup with TB, wiped data, reflashed cm7. i wanted to check which programs cause everything to FC, so i installed games first - nothing happened. so i installed rest of the apps, i mean those:
flash player
ak notepad
antutu
camera360
real drums
drums hd
convertpad
dolphin browser
elixir
fancy widgets
gg(its a communicator, i dont think so it would cause the problem)
google sky map

^ what app causes all the problems? maybe you guys know which one is this, i know i can still reinstall them, but im running out of time..
I've been removing some bloatware on my phone with root explorer (because this is the only method that works since I need to mount r/w on the veondor folder), it's been working great and it's much faster now. Suddenly whenever I try to install from the market or an APK it now says I have insufficient storage available when I have 59mb of memory left on my system and plenty of GB on my SD card. I can still update apps through the market perfectly fine but nothing else works.
Things I removed...
From .../System/App
-Officesuite.apk
-talkback.apk
From .../System/Vendor/App
-datatrafficswitch.apk
-semccrashmonitor.apk
-timescapespline,apk
-timescapewidget.apk
-widgetonoff.apk
-playnow.apk
-letsgolf.apk
I deleted these from looking at a guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614761
I am on firmware .587
I'm not sure if this was the cause because I have installed some firmware changing packs such as the nxt theme but ThillanaC and .587 Framework Deodexer by papayayoghurt.
If anyone can help it would really help, and I do have a nandroid backup from before all this but I would prefer to know what caused this.
System space not the same as Data space.

The applications you deleted resided in the System partition of your internal memory but the new ones you want to install require space on the Data partition. So unless you can use an application like SystemCleanup to move some old apps to the System partition you still won't be able to free up space in the Data partition.
I've had apps fail to install when I've had as much as 60MB free. It really does suck - Sony just didn't give us enough space for apps. Either move some apps to your SD card or install Link2SD and kiss this problem goodbye forever. There is a great guide here:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/12/link2sd-guide-never-worry-about-internal-memory-limits-again/
It's well worth doing and doesn't take very long at all.

Works perfectly! Thanks a lot!
Just got a GT N7100 few days ago. rooted it. i have lots of games installed like max payne, gta3 etc. so all my storage is gone. i want to ask how do i move games and apps to external sd? can i backup game data which is everytime whopping over 1gb so that i do not need to download it again if i reinstall any game. is there any way to move gamedata to ext. sd?
and:victory: i just got idea if i do not uninstall game back but just backup gamedata and delete it from phone to free up memory and when i need app i just move back data to its original location which is usually android data, will it work.
i have 300 mb free space and now my phone doesnt allow me to install an app even less than 1mb of size..any idea......thanks in advance.......:good:
Moving to external sd has been asked and answered before. Here is one I replied to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010235

No if you want to use the same files/folders on another phone. The game downloads files for your specs, not for other phones.
If its for your or another Note 2 then it might work if the game has not been updated since your backup. If it has been updated it might need the new files.
RE
what about if i do not uninstall game back but just backup gamedata and delete gamedata from phone to free up memory and when i need app i just move back data to its original location which is usually android data, will it work and yes i will be doing this on same phone.
That will probably work unless you open it by a mistake. Maybe not if it has the permission to run at startup. It could look for the files then, and not find any.
Both of the solutions i linked to works for me.
Directory Bind is most useful for me with this phone.
And then you don't have to wait for the copying every time you want to play a game.
re
can u shed some light on directory blind and how to use it?
I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889550
Remember that apps with root access can do everything they want with your phone, including making it as usefull as a brick.
Don't use an app with root access until you think you understand a little of what it does, and you have read a few reviews/posts about it.
Be extra careful with root apps that are not in the Play store/Market. This is not. Why are they not there? Maybe because Google rejected it because it does bad things?
I wanted all of the data in the folder DirectoryBind on my external SD card. What you are supposed to do then (step 2 in that guide) is change the default data path to /mnt/extSdCard/DirectoryBind. I wrote /extSdCard/DirectoryBind because my Galaxy S II had a link to the microSD card there. The Note II does not, so the /mnt/ is important
Took me a while to realize what was wrong...
Thanks man .. DB did the job.....everything s now fine.
Startup soung stopped working?
hey man ! after installing DB startup tone doesnt work..any ideas?
The Samsung tone when you turn on the phone? I don't want that, so let me know if you find out what removed it.
Hello, I have a GT-S5660 and last week I loaded this ROM -
Jellybean 4.2.2 (CyanogenMod 10.1) 20130908 from maclaw.
But I am running out of space on the internal storage, I have tried the App2SD app but there are some apps that cannot be moved and after loading up 3-4 apps I am running out of space already.
Can someone point me to a ROM that allows me to install ALL my apps to the SD card? I dont mind going backwards in Android versions - I just want to run apps off the sd card. I mainly use the phone as a phone but am a heavy user of whatsapp - footmob - dropbox - music and ebooks.
I have a 2gig SDCard installed in the phone and I made a partion on it using CWM. I hope everything is setup to be able to a new ROM and allow apps install to the SD.
I dont need - FM radio - email (I use gmail) - exchange - only English language - voice search - voice dialler or talk.
Can anyone help me make a good choice for a new ROM ?
Thanks a lot in advance!
You should install JellyBread.
It's the best rom for Gio, it's fast and stable.
And it already has a script in it to move apps to sd-ext.
So create a ext-2, ext-3 or ext-4 partition on your sd-card.
Then go to terminal emulator (pre-installed) and type
su
Then it will ask for root, accept, then
int2ext
reboot
Then check in Settings>Apps>Mangage applications and if you see your storage is huuuuge then it worked.

I use CM10.1 by Mardon for 3-4 months and is very stable and good looking too.I had the storage free space problem too but I used Link2SD to uninstall and move apps to SD and now I have 100mb free.I also replace original LatinIME (11mb) with another that has only 3mb

Had to load the ROm twice for some reason, it got stuck on the loading screen for about 20 mins so I did a factory reset and wipe again then it worked fine.
