Are you using A2SD+? Or this is the internal memory?

I have problem with internal memory
What are more things are on the memory I can delete
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Unless you are S-OFF, you can only delete the things you've installed by yourself or move them to the SD Card (Non_A2SD+).

THANK U

Probably cache & Other non-app related stuff.
Also, if you don't have A2SD+ (not App2SD), then some applications will be on Internal memory even after moved to the SD card.

I am not an android expert, but you do need app2sd or data2sd to fix this.
Any 3rd party rom with those X2sd supported can let you extend your limited phone storage. I don't know the android system file structure at all but here is the general idea.
i. App2sd
This will install the apps (most of them) on your sd card, but the data, I think, still remains on your phone internal storage. Your system should be very fast as normal even with low class sd card (most of the time I think :-0 ).
ii. Data2sd
This is a little bit tricky, it requires you to format your sd card and make use of the sd card instead of your internal phone storage for the operating system. You generally get an unlimited store, it depends on how much memory you allocated for the system, also you need a higher class sd card as better.
iii. Data2sd mixed mode
This is the best solution for me . it moves almost all to the sd card but some part of the system with more i/o on the phone internal storage (actually symlinks point back to the device on sd card). This will make the system fast (faster than pure data2sd), extended the phone storage a lot, but still limited to the phone internal storage (better than app2sd though)
Again, this is just my understanding. I haven't looked into Android in depth yet, but I will one day I have enough time

I have app 2 SD
I fixed partition ex2 to move the apps but I can't see ext2 partition
Must I have app2sd+ , where can download it.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Create at least EXT3 with more than 512 MB.
You don't have the option anywhere, to move to the EXT partition, it is automatically done by the script.
To see your EXT partition you must use TI Backup (Shows only as A2SD+) or GParted.

Ok not ext2
I have tried with ex2 it doesn't work , should I have swipe ?
I will do it with Linux
Which Rom do u think is best now ?
Where can I download a2sd+ ?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

A2SD+ is not a program, it is a script. Included in the ROMs.
Look around in the Desire Android Developement Section for ROMs and pick one you like. Most of them have A2SD+.

Do some reading... rooting guides include all the information you need

I will format the SD and try to found some Rom with a2sd+
Why desire have very little memory it should be 2 or 4 gb
Thank everyone and I will be back with feedbAck

No brainer... Data2SD !

This has always been a problem with my desire until i found out about AlphaRev. Now i've got 166MB free internal space. My suggestion is to install AlphaRev and modify the partition tables as listed in the tutorial on alpharev.nl. I would have posted a link but i can't post links yet.

i downloaded RCMIxHD_v3.4_ROT_D2EXT_RC1 and made a parttion ext3 and now work perfect.
Thank u everybody

[Q] [SuperNOVA]How to move apps from ext4 to internal memory

I am just flash with SuperNOVA and i would like to move some apps to my internal memory to reduce lag.
The main one is the GO Launcher EX.
I really want to move it into my internal memory. If i have a terminal emulator, what should I type in to do so?
Using this ROM

Thanks

When using A2SD, you can't. If you are using DATA2SD apps are always on internal memory.

No.
data2sd is like a2sd, but instead of moving all the apps, it moves the entire data partition to SD so everything is on SD (although it shows as internal).
@ OP, cant be done.

Thanks a lot. I catch what you mean.
However, is it possible to temporarily change the installation location to Internal and restore to sd-ext after rebooting? I am just wonder that would happen

No because SD-EXT IS internal. "internal" means /data/app/ which is actually now /sd-ext/data/app (or however it is structured).
With data2sd:
Internal = /sd-ext/data/app
External = /sdcard/.android_secure (as it always has = )

Thanks. Now, I would like to know the whether there is a need to GPART my SD card for superNOVA?

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Wait, DATA2SD moves both apps and data to SD card?

Yep, whole partition

Oh, but there is a solution if you need the app in nand though..create a folder in /system/data, then make a symlink in/data/app to it..

Oh really? Maybe you have a crappy card, and tried it on a crappy ROM. And don't tell me it's of a good class. That has nothing to do with it. To each his own..
If the speed of the card in random read write of small chunks of data is good, Data2sd should perform well. The basic criteria is that the speed of card should match nand. But making a very vague statement that Data2sd as such is laggy, is like a blind man holding the elephant's tail and saying the elephant's a small animal.

For me Supernova is one of the best ROMs out there, and despite occasional lag and hanging apps I haven't found anything that combines a fully working Sense ROM without Sense 3.0 crap that never works well, and so much space for apps.
One question though. All day it seems to work well, I have a class 10 Transcend card 8 GB. Lags usually occur when the phone is locked and I try to move out of the lockscreen, it seems like it never actually "wakes up" and everything is laggy, the lockscreen itself hangs and doesn't respond, and when I finally unlock it I get messages for HTC Sense hanging etc. This happened for example this morning when I got out of bed and tried to answer a call after leaving the phone on all night. (I missed the call btw, since the Telephone app was stuck as well and I could not answer it )
Any ideas?

Are you on 2.1 ROM. Flash the older ROM

No, I downloaded it yesterday so it was the 2.0.2.0 version. I also tried Gingerburst today with similar problems. Probably it's the SD card's fault after all

Probably. We have had limited success with class 10 cards..I'd try a class 6 transcend if I were you.

[Q] How can I install larger apps?

Hi guys, im pretty new to the desire (coming from an x10) and i was trying to downloads some apps and i couldnt download "jelly defense" because of insufficient space. The app is 49 MB and i have tons of free space on both partitions of the sd card. I'm running supernova 2.4 by the way. any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
P.S. I know there have been some threads started on this but none have been helpful.

What's the space of your internal storage? Downloading apps from market always saves the app to internal memory before moving to sd card (if the app allows) Sufficient internal storage is essential.

If I know, Desire doesn't allow to download large apps from market. You have to find APK file somewhere and than install it directly from SD card (after moving the APK file there). Don't forget to check Unknown resources in settings of applications.

Hey, Thanks for the quick response. I have my sd card partitioned and data2sd so i have 760 mb free. Ive heard that the issue is that the desire has a small cache but im a noob so i dont exactly know what that means or if there is anything i can do about it.

Swyped on my Htc Desire running on Supernova Extreme - Gingerbread goodness with 2 GB of Internal memory

Confused with swap

I got a 16GB class, 10 memory card. I made a partition if 1gb and 0mb swap. Is that correct? What does the swap really help with?
I tried Google but couldn't really understand it properly. Someone can explain it to me in layman's terms? ^_^

That's a good size. Now install data2sd by jikanturu and you have more internal memory.
good enough?

Swap is fake ram. With class 10 SD card you had to use at least 128mb-256mb because wfs have only 512mb ram

Don't bother with swap, you don't need it. Swap is just using disk space as RAM. But since the SD card is significantly slower than RAM (even if it is a class 10), you won't be having a good time. I've got like 120 apps installed on my phone and I still have 100+MB of RAM available. You don't need swap. As for sd-ext, don't bother with all the many different scripts, the easiest way is just to download S2E from the Play Store, it does it all for you

do we need swap? http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Swap_and_Compcache
It's up to your choice.
my sdcard has 128mb swap.

Hi, I have a 4GB (Class 10) memory card. (872 MB -Ext4 Partition, 700 MB -Linux Swap and 2300 MB on Standard Partition) and using Link2SD. I have installed 30 apps and got only 45MB internal memory left.
But I see you got more internal memory.
1. How is this possible?
2. Can I now move on to S2E? If yes then how?
Thanks.

The best way to do it would be to backup all your apps and data with titanium backup, then reinstall your rom from scratch. Make your sd-ext partition bigger if you wish, then install S2E, let it mount your sd-ext and then restore everything with titanium backup.

Correct me if i am wrong, but with all android phones, the internal storage is partitioned. 2 gigs are used for downloaded apps, another couple of gigs are used for the system and the rest of the remaining storage is used for the downloaded data within the apps.
Also try moving some of your apps to the SD card. It will help free up some storage in that 2gb partition.

Ou might be right for the partitions but ive never had this problem before. I think something messed up perhaps the partitions? I moved all my apps to the sd card the problem is still there. The bigger storage in the phone just iant being utilized or sonething like that.. I was on the embryo rom for good 4 -5 months had ****load of apps and never had an issue.. been running jedi rom for a few weeks and encoutered this problem. It just doesnt make sence.

I had this same issue on jmt v5, I have no idea what caused it or how to fix it I tried everything, it's like the Rom won't store anything anywhere but the system partition, it's very strange, I switched to embryo Rom by Mohan, all the great touchwiz stuff, very fast and stable, only difference is no Wi-Fi calling, but if u can handle that go flash embryo, best touchwiz Rom I've seen to date
