ASK Desire Memory Problem

Dear all,
I want to ask, why is always my memory full if i install program? any way to help on this?
i am on froyo and transferred almost all the possible apps and games to sd card. but i still want to download more. is it possible?
thanks.

why not even a single soul reply my thread? =(

I have the same problem with my Desire. I've moved some application on the SD card with app2sd. Now I have 10-15 applications in the phone memory and only 30 MB free space !!!!! .... is there another way to free some space?

I've noticed if you've installed a Rom on top of another Rom without wiping complete data it reduces your memory.

Not possible sorry, flash and Facebook install has system services. Your better of rooting your phone, if not already done so and then install a Rom with data2SD like the one am using.
Witch give's you 2gb internal memory for your app's, you'll need a class4 SD card for this or better.
I have about 250 apps and still 1.2gb left

Its very stable has long has your SD class is fast enough its a superb RoM and there is so much more to come from the dev.
If your unsure you can boot your phone into recovery and do a nand backup this will create a image off your phone, so you can get right back from where you left of. Also use titanium backup and backup your app's contacts ect, there for if your happy with SN GB there you can just restore from backup All this can be done within 1 hour.

[Q] Solutions for limited internal memory?

Here is the scenario. My girlfriend has a HTC Desire, which I found out recently has very limited internal storage when I checked out her phone. We have installed App2SD, and moved every allowable app to her SD card. She has deleted old apps and such, and we have cleaned up a lot of all crap on her phone. I have suggested rooting the phone, as I have done this with my Mesmerize. She is fed up with this phone, and told me last night she wants to buy another phone, and said "I really really wish I could throw this mfer out the fing window! if only I wasn't so dependent on this piece of s! It won't install new apps, and I'm constantly getting messages about being out of memory. I have a SD card that is practically fing empty".
I would like to ease her frustration and save her the money of buying a new phone since she is not eligible for a contract discount with her phone since she has quite a bit of time before renewal. Is there a way to utilize this unused space on her SD card without rooting the phone? Can we partition the SD card to recognize one of the partitions as "internal memory"? Should I just go ahead and try and root this thing for her? Other suggestions?

There's 2 things you can do without root. They will both give a bit more space.
1) upgrade to 2.3 - go to HTCdev.com, kernel source, view downloads. This is an RUU exe to run from a pc and will upgrade to gingerbread. It will wipe the phone though so may want to install mybackup from market. Gingerbread also moves the libs of apps (not all apps have libs) which Froyo did not so when you move to sd, you may claw back a bit more space
2) there is a trick that will change the default install location to sd card. This also allows most apps that previously couldn't be moved to sd, to be moved. Beware, apps that need to run in the background at start up and apps with widgets should not be moved as sd is mounted late at boot and these apps will not work properly.
There is a guide for this in my signature.
Combining these 2 things may help for a while although ultimately root is the way forward. With root, she will never worry about space again. The above is just prolonging the agony
Hope this helps

Advantages to rooting?
Besides being able to move over any app I please on my rooted phone that I have... What would be the other advantages in terms of space for her Desire?

Well we can change partition layouts, use an a2sd script to link /data/app to /sd-ext or even move the entire /data partition to /sd-ext.
Theres also a root memory faq in my signature. Read that too.

Hmm... How come you forgot Data2sd? Op: take a look at the screenshots in the supernova thread or my site..

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.

There are workarounds for this. Remind me to post a script on the thread.

What you are asking is impossible, you can´t make bigger the space of you´re phone, using the sd card.
Allthough you can try to use some applications to move the apps to you're SD, apps like Link2Sd(You need root) or more.
Also you can root you´re mobile and use titanium backup to delete apps you don´t need and you can´t remove,normally, but attention, if you remove some apps you´re phone can stop working.
I hope i helped!

If you have unlocked bootloader, you can flash Lupus GB kernel. It have 640MB data partition. And with the help of Link2SD (to move as much apps as you can to SD) it should be enough for some time
You could also partition SD card so apps2sd or link2sd can use it expand storage but is somehow harder to setup. You might check http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning

Are you rooted? If so get titanium backup pro (it's worth the $6 or $7). There's an option for moving dalvik-cache to /cache in there. Depending on phone, you can free up 80-100 MB of space by doing this. Here is the manual method, but it may not work on a lot of devices. Lack of space on these phones was my driving force for rooting it. I'm not certain about this (maybe someone who knows can chime it), but I believe making a separate small ext3 partition for your apps (something like 1-2GB) on your SD card helps out with speed of apps stored on there using link2sd.
