Hi all,
My girlfriend has the unlocked stock Wildlife S and she loves it! But, she is having trouble updating and installing apps on the phone, it keeps on saying 'insufficient memory'. She has a 2gb sd card and doesn't have a lot of apps on the phone or sd card, she has transferred as many apps as she can to the card.
Anyone able help me?
Regards,
David
because the apps to sdcard，but the data and cache still in internal
memory.you can flash recovery，and then flash custom rom，partion your sd
card and then flash data2sd.you can change the memory to 512M or 1G.
Or, if she doesn't want to change anything (mine didn't wanted too, i know the drill...), since you are already unlocked you could just root your phone with unlock root http://www.unlockroot.com/, supertool... or something similar, install link2sd and she can transfer all apps (system too) that she wants to the second partition you created for her before all steps mentioned above... (you have nice tut here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432459&highlight=link2sd)
if you don't want to change anything how you fix the problem？

Hi all,
I used to be on here all the time with my Windows 6 phone, but have been using Android for the last 18 months and have been extremely pleased - so no need to come on here!
Now, though, like many people no doubt I have become frustrated by the lack of space for apps on my Desire!
My ONLY requirement is to have more space for apps; I have no particular wish to change anything else, as I am more than happy; Soooo, which is the best way for me to go? Do I need to root and flash a custom ROM? Or is there a way of achieving what I want more simply? I should say I have used Apps2sd etc, and I am still short.
Any advice welcome!
Stuart

You will need to root and flash a custom ROM - to get A2SD or Data2ext working.
Then you'll have a lot of space on your Desire.
You'll need to install a ROM with A2SD or Data++ this will extend the internal memory to the SD card.
THIS tells you how to do everything.
hey guys
I've been looking for an answer for this question for 5 hours but wasn't able to understand what the next step should be.
My Story (not necessary)
I've successfully rooted my HTC Desire (which was a pain because I had to downgrade my phone first and root it with unrevoked on Ubuntu 10.04). I thought the latest version would be supported, actually it didn't change anything! (well it's rooted now after all...)
I was looking for the best method to update the Desire without loosing root. After hours spent on google looking for an answer
I wanted to know:
The best method to update an HTC Desire without loosing root. As far as I understand gingerbread was the 2.3 release and Froyo all the earlier releases.
Where do I get it?
How do I install it?
thanks in advance!!
ps: All methods from 2009 and 2010 wouldn't work for me.
my specs:
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: 32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-0cfb9f166
[email protected] #1
Build number: 1.21.405.2 CL174215 release-keys
Software number: 1.21.405.2
Update using a custom ROM (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=628 for all the threads containing these ROMs, and a how to). I use sebastiaan15's Runnymede AIO which is a Gingerbread with HTC Sense 3.5 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315961) but there are plenty of others on there, depending on what you want. You will keep root, as the Custom ROM will be rooted.
thanks for your quick answer! it really helped me getting a good overview!
still I have one more question:
that means that every custom rom is rooted?

I suppose technically it would be possible for a Custom ROM to not be rooted, but there aren't any that I am aware of, or have ever installed, and I can't see why a dev would produce a non-rooted ROM.
I'd recommend 4ext recovery (install it via the market), so you can take a full ROM backup. That way if you don't like a Custom ROM that you flash, you can just revert back to exactly where you were beforehand. Even if the new ROM won't boot, you can just boot into recovery and restore.
Also, a good idea to use Titanium to do a backup, so that you can then restore your user apps when you're on your new ROM. DON'T restore system when swapping from one ROM to another, or it may very well mess up your new ROM.
Hope that helps. I went through all this, and had all these sorts of questions a couple of months ago, so happy to help you work through it.

wow thanks, when I first watched the introduction video I thought I wouldn't get that much and awesome help here
There is still a question bothering me:
Concerning SD formatting, there are some guides which say that it is possible to create "virtual ram" by adding a linux swap partition at the end of the sd card, is that actually true? or does that also depend on the rom?
does that really help? (I know that having an ext4,3,2,1 depends on the rom and is used for app2sd)
thanks so much for helping me guys!!

You need to have a swap partition with some ROMs (swap partition is not the same as ext partition!). Select ROMs you like the most and read the first posts really carefully. All usefull info are there! Once you have selected the ROM you want to install, prepare your card accordingly, flash the ROM and ENJOY!

Hi, I've not found I'd ever need any extra RAM, so I've never bothered with a ROM that needs it. In my humble and limited experience I've not seen any that need a swap partition. An ext partition on the other hand is very useful, as you can install more apps. My sdcard for all 4 ROMs that I often use (Seb15's Runnymede, CM7, Stock Froyo and ICS Beta) just has a 1Gb ext4 partition (for apps2sd) and the rest fat32.
Hey guys, frankly im a noob.. Im running on a stock ICS, stock kernel on my Sony Ericsson Arc.. running really slow and I have decided to flash a custom rom onto it for the first time. I need your help guys on where and how do I start the process.. there are a few que i have in mind such as
1) do i need to unlock the bootloader of my hp?
2) there is something called internal sd..and im so not sure what is it actually.. the arc doesnt have an internal storage like the galaxy s2 and etc as to my understanding..so what does it mean by i have to copy the zip rom files onto the internal sd?
3) i thought of flashing cyanogenmod 9 onto the arc but i would like to ask on your opinion on the rom and what would your choice of rom be?
hope to hear from u guys soon...thank you in advance..
well bootloader (e.g the BIOS settings in our computers) is just like the police officer that controls which programmes should start, what should run etc. although unlocking your bootloader will void your warranty however, it can be relocked by ways, our dev's have shown.
NEED---- it will help you install (also known as flash) custom (your own) kernels (interacter between software and hardware) and roms (interacter between humans and softwares). thus you will be able to customize anything and everything. and without the risk of bricking (make it no more useful thn a brick) your phone
well u must have read xmooded 90.5 rom requirements hence you must have been asking this, i dont know what that means but the externel sd card even works superb with that rom.
lastly i would suggest you use jj'shybrid rom with stock kernel and cwm installed. it is as good as cm9 in ui and almost the best in battery life (battery drain is about 0.2% per hour when idle)
hit thanks if i helped you

Hey, I have htc wildfire s with s-on running on 2.3.5....
I want to root it to use applications that require a root..
I want to know is it possible to increase internal memory or use sd card partition to utilise as an internal mamory? If yes, then how to do it?
and I want a simple root... means no upgrading for 4.0 ICS is required for me.
I am a new to rooting.. so please explain me in simple way..
I dont understand the bootloader and clockmode recovery like words..
Please help me..
To be honest, if you don't understand the bootloader etc you may be better off leaving the phone alone, as you need to modify it to achieve rooting of the device.
This section is full of well written tutorials that are easy to follow.
Just use search function for how to root your wildfire s.
Look at the link below, it has a bit of advise and some links to look at.

Thanks for reply... but can i do the partition? and can i install all applications if I partitioned sd card of 1 gb for Internal Memory..??
Simple answer is no, there are a few apps that will move apps to the SD card (some apps cannot be moved though)
This is one reason why people root the device....to free up memory and remove unwanted service provider apps etc.
It is a fairly simple process, take the plunge and root the device.

hey... first try to search for the post.... this question hase been asked a lot of times... and post in correct section.....
BTW... you can root your device easily... it is just simple... and you can increase your internal memory by creating a ext partition in your memory card (data2sd)..
1. To unlock your Bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432199
2. To Root your Device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195275
Then if you love the stock rom... there is lot of Custom Sense Rom available... You can choose one of them... I prefer the following three...

you just need to full-rooting your device, no need to ubl
rooting with towelroot is half-root, you need to fix it with remountrebootfix
search around for tutorial
I already have full-rooted my phone, install remountrebootfix, like in tutorial. I tried this 3x, but it didn't work. I get boot-loop every time. Still don't know what's the cause of this problem.
I found 3 scripts that you have to do to remove it.
1 remove /system/etc/init.d/*link2sd*
2 remove /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and if exists rename install-recovery.sh.ori in its place.
3 remove /system/xbin/debuggerd and rename debuggerd.bin in its place.
After that you can also remove link2sd log files from /data and delete directory /data/sdext2.
