Phone gets real slow when int mem gets low. So how do I release mem? I've realised that moving apps to SD does reduce it but not all will move. I've moved what I can so far but would still like more free int mem.

Root it or buy a new phone.
Several topics above yours you could find HTC Desire memory issues, at the 4th page I have described what one can do to increase available memory. And yeah, root + custom rom is probably the best thing you can do.
Edit
Ah I didn't saw that you are already rooted, so get a rom with more space for apps
Thx. Hmmmm yeah rooted with large SD. 2g ext4. Isn't there a method to use some SD space as internal or extention too?

Use data2sd, data2ext or data2whatever..
You can find it in development section..

take a look at this, DZ have a full HTC GB rom, just with ALL the space you need...

OK, all the threads I've found about this are quite old.
I've been pretty good at managing the storage on my Desire, but now I have this warning permanently on and I can't bin any more apps.
When I list them, all the big ones are on SD, so what is munching my space?
I have my mail set to only carry the last 30 days. At this rate I'll be getting my XDA Serra out of the attic...
Browser cache or contracts if you have a lot of them. If not probably data associated with your apps.

Just install S2E from market.

Use starbust rom to have upto 2GB of Internal Memory

And cache cleaner.
Better still, why not root the phone and install a custom rom as suggested. You can then run everything from a larger internal memory space, meaning a faster phone and no low memory warnings!
Root!
Data2Ext, A2SD+, CM7 H-Boot table, etc.
There are plenty solution for low on memory problem, and they are the main reason why I rooted my phone.
I just tried Data 2 Ext and partitioned my SD card as was told by the RCMixHD ROM thread, but after installing that ROM I get a Low On Space warning! Getting really annoyed with the badly tested roms out there. I mean really, so much for using the data2ext script when it doesn't even work!
I'm back to Redux. Only ROM that's actually STABLE. Too bad not having a HTC Sense keyboard on that rom.

It's a company phone so rooting is not an option, but thanks!
On the box it was written that storage is 4gb but when I turned on the phone my phone it was only 980 mb onlyyyy.whyyyy?? Is it possible that the shop that I bought the phone from has changed the internal storage piece??
Sent from my HTC One V using xda premium
I don't think its possible to change the internal storage piece, but I think that 3gb goes to the system storage.
Would someone else with a One V confirm this?
EDIT: did some searching, according to gsmarena 3gb is in fact for system apps
And here is an xda thread regarding the same issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586291
EDIT 2: I just found out the One V has a microSD slot unlike the One X and S, so the only thing you need the 980 mb for is apps and data. But since it has microSD expansion, link2sd will work if you really want more space

you have to make partition first...which is supported by kernel....

The procedure is slightly more complicated to setup, since yes you need to partition the SD card (the 2nd partition is how much space you want for more apps), and you have to choose a certain partition format, e.g. FAT32 is supported on all ROMs.
I won't get into the details, there are multiple guides on how to setup and use link2sd.
I will, however, tell you that when using link2sd, nearly every part of the app you are moving, every bit of data, lib files, etc. are moved to the SD partition, and less than a megabyte is saved onto the phones internal storage for each app.

Hi.
Is there any disadvantage moving apps from "phone storage" to "SD storage" in One X? Is there any write/read speed difference?
Thanks
Both memory is the same, just partitioned as "internal" and another part as "sd card".
So no, there is no speed diference.

Other than using less space on the "internal"
Yeah, but the op already knows that
Tbh i dont know why apps still dont install themselfs on sdcard by default if sdcard is present.. or at least ask where to be installed, like symbian did 6 years ago.. oh well, maybe we'll see that in android 6.0

Big games already do that automatically. Try installing Asphalt or NFSMW, the APK stays in the internal partition while the game files are on the SD partition.
Sure those do, probably because there is not enough space on internal or 2 games would fill it.. but still would be nice to be asked for the <200mb games too.. oh well, one day maybe

Hi guys,
I 've put CM10 on my daughters HTC Desire and in general it runs ok.
The problem is, she keeps getting a 'message memory full' warning.
She has deleted almost all her messages to try and stop it.with no joy.
Is there a known fix for this please or am I missing something obvious.
There seems to be a limit to how much you can make go to the SD card. (apps etc)
She has a 16Gb SD card, no partition.
If I can supply any more info, let me know.
Thanks
I made a 1 gb partition worked for me

Why do you need a partition.....what do you use it for?
How do you direct things to it?
Hey guys just a question I have just connected to my pc and ive just noticed after all tis time of having it lol that the internel sd memory is at 10.36gb is this right as I thought with and internel sd of 16gb we would have pritty much most of it
Thanks

Yes this is normal.

Wth does ram have to do with nand memory?
To OP. That is correct amount but not cause of RAM. The 16gb memory is partitioned for system, cache data etc.
And the one left is your sdcard.
You can always an external sdcard for music, photos and movies.
But game data and some other data like from gps apps must install in internal.

I just read something about nand memory being used as ram extension. I have no idea if that is the case here or not. http://wikibon.org/wiki/v/The_adoption_of_NAND_Flash_as_a_Seamless_Extension_of_RAM_Memory

If I understand that correctly it means that after ram is filled it will use nand space as virtual ram. I think that would decrease read speeds as nand is significantly slower than ram.

Yes that is what I understood from the article too, so we have dedicated 2gb of ram that has nothing to do with the 16 gb of storage, right? I wasnt entirely sure

Yes. Ram is autonomous memory. Nothing to do with the internal 16gb nand flash memory.
