Where am I going wrong

Ok . Got s-off last night and partitioned my SD card using recovery console.
I have then flashed a custom cm7 hboot using Android flasher and then tried both insert coin and rcmix roms but still only getting about 120 mb free.
Can somebody advise where I am going wrong and possibly suggest what I should be using.
I basically want new ginger sense with lots of app space.
Thanks

That's normal (if I.remember well)
Sd space should not be shown, you only see the internal free space

Yes you do. The ext partition is there, you just can't see it. Your storage will decrease the more apps you put on because of the dalvik cache.

hmm can you clarify that a bit? as in, is seeing ~120mb of free space is normal?
I recently flashed the InsertCoin cm7 rom and see that i'm using ~160mb and have ~130mb free. I thought this is normal given that the hboot used was alpharev cm7r3 (~290mb for data)
Though reading this thread makes me wonder, whatever happened to the 1GB ext partition? What is it used for?

A2sd: apps on ext(SD)
Dalvik on internal
Sent from my HTC Desire

Some rarely used system apps are on sd_ext which allows rom to fit cm7 hboot system partition. Also all downloaded apps .apk go to sd_ext, but their dalvik cache (which is from what the app actually runs) stay in internal memory and that makes rom super fast. What you see in settings is true but this space will be taken only by dalVik and that means (with your 120mb) lots of space.

Thanks to everyone for their input. Just wasn't really sure I had done it correctly. Bit of a noob!!.
I also just wanted it correct before adding my files and also flashing custom splash and boot animations.

Dtaps2sd with custom rom

I am currently running the going green rom, its sense 3.0 and also have dark tremors apps2sd. Im have a problem where my internal memory keeps getting lower and lower and lower. It was at 346mb free this morning and now at 296mb free. Ive cleaned cache, anyone else know what it could be or what I could do to keep the internal space from decreasing?

You could move dalvik cache and data or one or there other to your sdext but it could cause lag unless you have a fast sdcard but you can try it the command is in TE.
su
a2sd cachesd
a2sd datasd
You can get a list of commands by typing
su
a2sd help

Runnymede 5.3, increased internal memory?

I am running the Runnymede 5.3 from Sebastian which i find excellend other than the lower internal storage I have.
I am on the CM7/R2 version after restoring my apps, i only have 20mb free. I dont want to use the XD2SDX script as i find it laggy.
So question is, is there any other way to get increased internal storage? I was thinking of moving the dalvik to the SD by using the zip created by coolexe but it does not seem to work.
Is there any other way for increased storage?

move dalvik to sd slows system
like XD2SDX
must have a class 10 sd card to speed up the system

Rubbish!
10char

Tried sibere's data2sd?

Agree, I moved the dalvik on previous roms without any issues at all. Any ideas to the original question?

Im not familiar enough with the a2sd script thats in the rom.
if you explore the device, is dalvik on sd ext or on data instead?

Dalvik is on data. I was hoping to move this to sd-ext but not sure how.

The script attatched to the first post of 5.3 for a2sd, if you read it says:
Code:
busybox mkdir /data/dalvik-temp busybox chmod 777 /data/dalvik-temp###> Copy Application Dalvik to dalvik-temp cd /sd-ext/dalvik-cache; echo "Dalvik On SD-EXT:"
Which says it does move it.

Sorry, but where does it say that on the thread?
I have again checked and the dalvik is definetly on data. if the dalvik was on the SD, i should have loads more space.

It doesn't say it in the thread. At the botom of Post 1 is a list of attachments. One of which is a2sdx. If you download that and look at the script inside, it says that. Perhaps you need to flash that zip?

Im trying to avoid that script has i find it very problematic like many others.
So i was hoping a for a simple dalvik to sd script.

That script apparently doesnt work well with stock Hboot.
The simplest script is the redux one which you can download, but you will need to titanium backup all apps and settings, Factory reset, REMOVE YOUR EXISTING a2sd SCRIPT! then flash that one from the Redux website.

How do i remove the existing A2sd script?

If you have root explorer you can just browse to system/etc/init.d and delete what I assume is called 40apps2sd. But when you reboots all your app links are lost meaning all your apps will be broken so titanium backup first.
Or remove it from the Rom zip first in the same place (even replace it with the one on the redux site) and reflash

Did that and it seems to have worked, I now have over 200mb of space.
Strangely, the low memory warning message still pops up after a reboot.

(Q) Is my partition causing this?

Everytime I'm on a sense rom it runs super smooth for the like the first hour then i start getting extreme lag. By lag I mean I can barely go to the screen,when I use the keyboard it's really delayed and laggy. The only way to stop the lag is to wipe dalvik cache and cache. But that solves it temporarily. Is the partitioned card causing the lag? I'm using the stock sd card that came with my phone.

I think It's slow because your dalvik cache is on your partition. Use a2sd help in terminal to find the command to move it back to the cache partition. I'm blanking on that command.
Edit: type in
su
a2sd cachepartreset
This will move it back to the cache partition and clear it and reboot your phone.
If that doesn't work you can try
a2sd nocachereset
Which will move the dalvik cache to the internal storage.

Will try later currently on miui so can't test because I don't use a2sd on it
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

So I decided to unpartition and reformat my card. I only get that lag I mentioned on sense roms. So I'm going to stick to miui for now. Most likely going to best buy later and getting a class 10 card

I actually looked to see what class my card was an its 8gb class 4 thought it would be good enough

Keeping running out of memory for apps

Hi All
Really am getting tired of running out of memory on my rooted desire. I used the CyanogenMod and now the Mildwild 5.0 but i`m only managing to install around 5-6 apps before i get the memory is low notification and am unable to install anymore. Any ideas what i`m doing wrong before I go and buy a new phone to end this madness hehe?
For example According to Mounts2SD app my storage is
Internal (/data) 132mb of 147mb
External /sd-ext 75mb of 3.75gb
Cache /sd-ext/cache 75mb of 3.75gb
Applications 10.85mb
System apps 2.0kb
Data 53Mb
Dalvik Cache 70.97MB

First of all, wipe everything. Then repartition your sdcard using 4ext recovery and now assign only 1gb of storage to your ext4 partition. Also change your Hboot to a more efficient one like CM7r2 Hboot. Have a look at alpharev.nl for that. Finally, reflash your rom(preferably any of Mildwild's) and setup a2sd again from terminal or use mount2sd from playstore.

Hii, i had the same problem in xperia l_i think your stock gallery application is eating up all your memory by making up thumbnails, its a good thing your phone is rooted_try instaling "sd maid" application from playstore and run the "system cleanup" function in it_also use another gallery app and make it default, i use "quick pic"
Press thanks if i helped

Will give that a go, but I just noticed a big crack around the usb port of my HTC Desire. So might be time to go and buy something new.

Make sure u make a backup
