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

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
You can found the ROMs and almost everything you need from here:

Really appreciated the people who did the job there.

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

Phone Memory

I have a rooted Incredible with CM7 installed, and I'm having some trouble with the memory.
I have an 8 GB SD card and am currently using about 4 GB of it for backups, music, etc. However, when reading the system data on the phone, it doesnt even use one percent of the internal memory, and I keep getting a low space notification for installing apps.
Is there a way I can partition the internal memory to allocate more space for installing apps?

I don't think you can repartition internal memory, anyone feel free to jump in if I am wrong. Might want to check out S2E in the market, just have to partition your sd card w/ an ext partition & your phone sees it as an extension of your internal memory. Only works w/ CM7 btw.
Course, this doesn't fix the fact that you are showing only 1% usage & can't install anything... what numbers you get in settings when you look at installed apps? Amt used, amt available...

[Q] What is the correct use of A2SD+

So i managed to root my phone, flashed the latest Leedroid rom and use A2SD+ , to overcome the storage issues.
All is working fine, i can see the ext partition and that the partition is actually in use.
What i understood is that you should not move apps from phone to SD anymore, because A2SD+ is automatically installing them to the EXT partition.
However i notice some apps still take up quite a lot of phone storage.
When i move them to SD, the free space increases a lot
For instance i moved Google Earth and that got me an extra 23 mb of free phone memory. Also moving Rock Player freed up some space.
So my question is:
should i leave app on the phone at al times, as people are suggesting, or can i move apps to SD which seems to clear some phone memory?

If it frees up more space, move them to sd.. I use titanium to do that as i've heard it works better than the stock way.

Well a2sd+ moves that apk and the dalvik cache to ext. "move to sd" moves the apk and the libs to fat.
Using either solution over the other will not be as effective as using both. However bear in mind that it becomes messy when you are splitting the components of an application over 3 partitions.
My advice if you're struggling for space, do it with the odd application. Don't make a habit of it

[Q] storage help

Hello I am looking for a Rom or whatever that would make my sd card the phone storage instead the 500mb u get with the phone

There are a couple of apps that can do it they basically just link to your external try directory binder

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.

[Q] Does App2sd function really work?

Hi all, I have installed cm12 with App2sd function on my Xperia M (C1905) and although I get a message for successful movement to the ext card, nothing seems to work as my available internal storege still reduces with every install. Also, if I set the external sd card as the default install location, I get the famous "insufficient storage available" when trying to install big apps although I have more than enough free storage. Clean Master also says "Your device storage and internal SD card are the same, so moving is unnecessary" and google camera's option for saving photos to the external card is also dissapeared.
Despite all these, if I remove the sd card while having applications installed in it, the apps cannot open (popup: app not installed). It seems like the apps are indeed installed in the sd card but my phone believes they are in the internal(?)
Is there something I can do about this? I use a 32 gb fat32 sd card, but I have tried ext4 and ntfs too, with no result. I also can't mount a 2nd partition (if any) with Link2sd.

App2sd works but...does not move complete data...
I feel temp files, apk, and cache still remained in internal sd.
Link2sd if far better...than this...

Oh I see… Unfortunately I can't get link2sd to work for me :/ Do you know if storage swap works on lollipop?
Thanks for your help!

Hey,
The app2sd problem in 10.01 fxp is fixed..
Flash the boot.img in this file using flash tool
http://www.mediafire.com/?cpklvyh374193qw
And no swap method is available for lollipop yet.
Link2sd ll work only if you have two partitions...
Try like this, one partition with fat32 and second partition with ext4 . Good Luck :thumbup:
