Im coing from the Dinc, and I plan to get this phone, but im worried it will have the sam problem as the dinc.. The low storage issues, where I am constantly clearing cache and what not. Will this likely be a problem or have they improved on the software to prevent this from happening ?

how can RAM become low storage issue? you cannot put files on RAM (Random Access Memory). just make sure there's only small apps running background to save RAM usage. too many running applications will make the phone sluggish since it's only have 512RAM and single processor to do the job done.
HTC One V comes with 4Gb of eMMC (not the faster NAND) storage, while you can only use 900Mb of it to install apps and save files. but you could easily add a 32Gb class 10 microSD card to increase storage and never have to worry low storage issue again.

I am currently running the R3 rom with Apps2sd+. At the moment i have around 80mb free. I wanted to increase the memory so uninstalled a 5mb app but when i go to settings, the internal memory was still the same, it did not increase.
Why is this? I thought if i got rid of a 5mb app, it should increase the memory by 5mb.
i'm pretty sure you have to restart the phone for it to be updated, has happened to me some times
Ive also tried that but did not increase.
Anyone else got any ideas?
You are using Apps2sd. Apps are stored on your sd card so uninstalling will not change the internal storage amount. 80mb is loads - why do you need 5mb more?
Is there a minimum internal memory needed on the desire so that it does not affect the phones performance?

I've been down to 15mb and not noticed any performance hit.

Yeah, one megabyte. No, I'm not being glib.
Ive read through dozens of threads asking this very question. Is there anyway to avoid having all of your internal memory sucked up by the great unknown? Im running defrost with all my apps installed on the microSD card.

Don't think this is possible because some application data is partially stored in the phone in /data/data/* too. Nothing moves /data/data to SD card, because this would result in instability and generally poor performance. You could move the app and dalvik-cache to SD with less trouble, but /data/data is buggy, so that stays on the phone.
Download Cache cleaner like CacheCleaner or CacheMate from the Marketplace, this will free up some space for you.

Thanks for the tip!
Freed up about 4 MBs. Hmm... Maybe I've adopted Android a wee bit too soon. Figured they'd have something as fundamental as this solved by now.

It is a common misconception that this is somehow Androids "fault".
Quite simply - it isn't. It is the hardware manufacturers who are not building enough physical storage into the device. There's absolutely no reason, other than cost, why someone couldn't build a phone with more memory available for apps etc - in fact, the Dell Streak has 2gb space for apps which is likely to be more than enough.

Good point. I was too quick to stack all the blame on Android. What would be SUPER cool is a phone with dual MicroSD slots. That way, one could be dedicated to apps and one to mounting, unmounting / whatever.
Can we repartition the mtd like the g1 users can?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7061471#post7061471
cause i think for those who are not using sense ui, there is a lot of space unused on the system partition that can be transfered to data partition for our apps.
Hi,
I wonder where is the truth about moving apps to SD card. I have HTC Desire which has really low space for apps. I used to use Darktremor A2SD script with CM7 but according to some users this can really slow down my phone while opening apps when I have slow SD card (I have 4class Kingston) and it probably does, becuase I experienced this issue very often. It was horrible and I decided to use different partition table. Now I have dalvik cache on internal storage.
Today I read that the more space I have on my internal storage, the faster the device is. The question is: Is this true? And is true that apps moved to SD (not using A2SD script) are slower?
On a very slow (cheap class 2) it can be true.
I have class 6 and not noticed slowdowns.
Theoretically - the internal NAND is faster than the SD Card, but if the ROM is set up correctly, it is unnoticeable.

So where is the problem? When I used A2SD script I experienct heavy lags while opening apps (Handcent, gallery, etc.) sometimes 2-5 seconds. It was really bothering. Full wipe helped everytime but after two days lags were back.
Now I am trying have dalvik on internal to see how it behaves.
I believe that class4 is not so slow and I also read that Kingston cards are sometimes much faster in tests, sometimes similar to other class6 SDs.
AFAIK, it depends on the ROM, too. For example I had no lags with AOSP ROMs, just Sense ones.

Ok. And do you think that the more free space on internal I have the more speed I can get while using the apps?

You might. Again i Think it is affected by many factors. For instance, when I was using Gingervillain 2.7 the phone was fast even with 20 MB left on internal - then I moved internal & stuff to the SD and had around 96 MB free - but did not notice that it was running faster.
Try using s2e app from market, I'm using that and it works very well

I flashed the final evolved rom to my evo "r3 charged final"
I have noticed that with all the roms I flashed since 2.3 came out that i have very little free memory the previous rom I had about 130 megs but now I'm running 80 -100 and that is with a task killer set on 1 min kill intervals.
I read about low ram and something called HSPL but i have no idea what it is or how I can flash it
can any one help
also on the rom install i wiped the phone and even formatted the sd card so i know the install was clean ( it also runs really good until the memory gets below 70megs )
thanks for your help
Had the same problem, you need to partition your SD card and install apps 2 SD., I use one called dta2sd( dark tremors Apps2sd. Before using I used to get low memory messages all the time...
Give it a try it helped me out..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
is this for you to move your apps to or is this to use like ram it appears that my phone is running low on ram for the running processes but not room for storage ( I moved almost all my apps to the sd card already )
thanks for your quick reply above
Think its for more memory space for apps, but it must create more system memory as well, because before I used it I had moved all my apps to SD, but I was still running low on memory. Since Ive used apps2sd ive had no more memory shortages
Hope you like that Rom I've used it my self and its a good one.

I just partitioned my card but it did not affect my free available memory but i now have tons of storage space on my phone.
thank you for the advice though i really like having all the apps on a partition freeing up space in the phone any way ( i use alot of apps )

sounds like you don't quite understand the difference between ROM/storage space and RAM/memory.
A lot of people use memory and storage interchangeably but that is not accurate.
The OP is having a problem with low memory/RAM meaning that the OS and running programs are utilizing too much RAM, IE too many apps or processes are running or there is a memory hole/leak somewhere. He is not having a problem with storage space or room to install additional applications or store additional data.
you can use the V6 supercharger or Car-o-dope tweaks (i think thats what it is called) they will increase your RAM
If you get the RC4 release of the V6 (its still stable but not on the main page) you should do option 7 and 20. Be sure to nandroid before.

Aosp is faster then sense ALWAYS. And some roms do use more memory then others

Thanks for the heads up on the RC4 release of the V6 I put it in and it did help my memory on this rom . So after partitioning and running the script I just have one strange question.
Does this rom have a built in power battery saver? i am not running any sort of battery saver, I am running a task killer still but only to see free ram since the script does the task killing now. I notice my wifi shuts off when the phone sleeps and that I have sleep mode that enables at about 11pm. Is there a way to kill this since I do most of my computer geek stuff late at night.
I have looked all through my apps and i have nothing installed that i believe could be doing the power conservation stuff
thanks
I'm asking because I'm frequently out of RAM, causing extreme lags and launcher reboots. I know the CPU reserves 300MB, leaving 700MB, but how much do ROMs typically occupy? Any recommendation for leaner ROMs? Or perhaps there are modifications to enable more aggressive task killing (non-background tasks)?

First of all, that mod puts it in /system, /data and/or /cache. So it doesn't even try to use the sd card regardless.
Second, I just thought i would try it out and it throws out an error "incompatible with your device Galaxy Nexus (toro).
I figured maybe i would give swapper 2 a go again. It hasn't been updated in ages, but it seems to work. You can leave it on sdcard (which is just internal memory anyway) or change the directory to any you want. I changed mine to /cache since my sdcard is kind of full. Can even change the swapiness within the app. Only downside is the limit for it is 256mb. So far it seems to be working properly on Verizon Galaxy Nexus stock, rooted, 4.1.1 with lean kernel.

I have done some tinkering. What seems to work for me is limiting background processes to 4 or less. These turn out to be cached processes which keep opened apps open. They eat up your remaining RAM and should ideally be removed if an app you're trying to run demands it. However, the removal process causes significant lag, possibly due to the slow internal memory the GNex has.
I'm running CM10 (4.1.2), and I have 245MB free right now. It has gone down to as low as 150MB, but rarely below. When using 4.2.2 based roms, I get as low as 40-50MB, which causes problems. I don't have high hopes for 4.3 right now.
