Hi guyz. I am a newbie to this desire community. During last week i tried as many roms as possible. I made a ext 4 partition of about 1GB. When i tried sense based Aurora rom, i noticed 900 mb of internal memory available(guess its counting ext partition as internal memory). When i tried some other roms i noticed 180mb of memory(a2sd). Why is that?
So if i use a2sd and install 40 apps what would be my internel memory? Will it be sufficient? I raised this query because before i try few other roms i should be clear which is the suitable one.
Thanks

I have a 1GB ext4 partition with some 60 apps installed. Usually I have around 4-600MB on ext partition and 70-100MB on internal memory free, depending on the ROM I use. Hope that helps.

The Aurora-ROM used a technology called DATA2SD / DATA2EXT (different names, but they work the same way)
A2SD: All apps you install will be automatically to EXT-partition (internal memory still decreases and is still 150 MB).
A2SD+: Functions plus the moving of dalvik-cache to EXT-partition
DATA2SD / DATA2EXT: The whole internal memory (/data-partition) will be moved to EXT-partition and the size of the EXT-partition is from now on the "new" internal memory.
How much internal memory you have free depends on the apps you install.

Hi,
Have my Desire running Oxygen 2.0 RC6 for now with stock tables and 1gb EXT3 (why is flashing tables so much harder? lol). Running oxygen with my standard apps I have about 115Mb free of internal memory.
I've been playing with a couple of other ROM's however I seem to end up with MUCH less internal mem - usually about 60-70Mb free with the same range of apps.
Have I done something wrong? Is there something I can do to "push" apps on the internal memory to the ext partition?
Cheers in advance
Has been mentioned about a dozen times in the oxygen thread, the dalvik cache isn't moved to the ext partition any more. There should be some flashable zips to get the old script back or you can fix it manual by replacing the a2sd script with a older one.
When did that get changed in Oxygen? Because my RC6 install has no issues with memory usage.
Are the "other" ROMs Desire HD ROMs?

No, just other AOSP GB roms.
Hi,
I am new here, sorry for noob question.
Recently I have flashed [ROM-GingerBread] Ginger Villain 0.9 with A2SD+ feature.
Before installation I did full wipe and created new EXT partition on my 4GB SD card with ROM manager (Size: 512MB Wipe:0MB)
After few days from flashing I have installed several applications from Market. Today I have tried to install another one, but no success. It shows me internal memory running out of space. So installation has failed.
I am not able to install more apps anymore. I don't understand it! When I run Quick system info it says:
A2SD storage - total 457MB, Free 342 MB
Internal storage - Total 148MB, Free 13,69MB
Where is the problem? Why is system installing apps to internal storage and not to A2SD storage?
Could somebody help me?
Thanks.
Read up on how A2SD+ works. Either use search or start here.
I have the same problem with Leedroid 2.3d
A2SD+ but internal memory is running out of space and ext has about 300 mb left
Please help

So basically if internal memory is getting low, the cache is the culprit?

Most of the time, yes.
i have installed miui a2sd+ edition... i have created a 512mb ext partition... i still have low storage issue... but i still have a lot of space available on my 512mb partition... (only 100mb is used up) and internal storage i have only 20mb left... why aren't the apps stored fully on the ext partition?
u have to flash the rom after u create ext3 partition
yup already flashed the rom.... still it used 100mb out of 512mb of ext partition but i have only 20mb internal space available.. why aren't all internal memory moved to ext partition?
There is plenty of information about what a2sd+ is and does. Try searching!
If you need more space search fire data2sd.

ok thx... so basically what i am reading is that a2sd+ is mostly like the move to sdcard feature of froyo and gingerbread...? 512nb is way too much if i understand correctly
okie i installed data2ext version of miui!! it's great!! i now have a true 1gb internal storage!!!
Hi
I have installed the Aces V4 ROM on my HTC Desire (HBOOT CM7/R2) and I have run out of internal storage when installing apps from Market. I didnt experience this problem when using V3 of Aces for the same number of apps installed.
This is what I have done:
1) Wiped everything
2) Formatted SD Card
3) Partitioned SD Card (Swap 0, ext-3 1024 mb), rest FAT32
4) Run Alignment_Cool_2.zip to change ext-3 to ext-4 and then re-align ext-4
5) Flash Aces V4 Rom
6) Flash Gingercakes0.8b_bfs Kernel
7) Installed weather_pack_new
What do i need to do to get 1gb of internal memory? I've read up a bit on data2ext but not sure if that's the right thing to do because I can only a CM7/R2 HBOOT version of the Aces v4 rom.
Many thanks in advance,
Shaximinion.
I dont think you can have a 1GB Internal memory on the HTC Desire. It only has 512mb i swere?
No you can there is stuff on data2ext have a read it partitions part of your SD Card.... but i cant find any clear guides on how to do it with the Aces V4 rom....
Hi all
I have now resolved the Low Internal Memory issue by flashing A2SD.KD after flashing the rom. Takes ages to become stable on first boot but then runs perfectly - and fluidly with Gingercakes v0.8b Kernel

Hellllpppp!!!
I have a desire running CM7.1 and i only have 50 mb of space left. I am 100 percent sure about what i am doing and I was wondering if you know of a simple method to gain more internal memory. I partitioned my sd card already (I think it is ext3) but my phone isn't seeing it as internal memory, which was the whole point of my partitioning it. It is really frustrating because the desire is an excellent phone, its just the storage that lets it down.
Thanks

the phone won't see the ext partition as internal memory by default, so will remain at 147MB if you're on stock hboot. to use the partition with CM7 i believe you can flash an A2SD script such as darktremor (even afterwards it won't 'increase', the system is fooled into thinking apps are on internal when they are actually on the ext partition).
i found reading this useful
to actually increase the internal memory, you can flash a different partition table (requires S-OFF), or use a data2sd script where the ext partition is actually mounted as part of internal memory
Hello ALL!
i have htc desire with stock hboot s-off.
1gb Ext3 on sd,
Nikez Lente ICS 4.0.4 installed
after that i decide to install some memory swap script to increase memory
i installed int2extv2+ .
Luckily it successfull installed . i can see internal memory 1gb (my sd ext mounted as internal storage)
but after installing some applications i get notification "phone storage memory full"..
what to do please help.. but internal storage is still 400MB free (sdext)

I think u have to activate the script by terminal emulater like how u do a2sd but I never used int2ext.

- Find out what is using your internal memory first. Install something like DiskUsage, enable root and browse your actual /data partition. It should be 147MB total size. It's probably filling up despite the script. This may explain the low memory warning
- How did you partition your sd card? Should be done with 4EXT recovery or gparted only, not clockworkmod or minitool
- Did you install the correct version of the script for your partition? I've only used it once on a different phone / ROM. I used in2ext4+ or something like that, suitable for an ext4 partition, seemed to work
You could repartition to an ext4 partition (slightly faster than ext3), and pick the version of the script which moves apps and dalvik cache to the sd-ext.
Why don't you try Beanstalk RC6 4.4.4 + mounts2sd? You will never have low mem issues.. specially if u move everything to ext4. The thing is you need a good sd card..
