Htc desire internal space problem!!

Hey I am having htc desire 2.3 stock rom rooted and after installing gingerbread i had around 100-120mb free and after installing and moving all apps to sd via link2sd only 46mb is left and this too is continuously decreasing and also on reboot i have to relink library files again. Would appreciate any help

Actually i have the same problem too with Link2sd. I found out that Link2sd doesnt move ALL the app but a part of it. ( My friend has a Samsung Galaxy 5 and he tells me that the internal storage nevers goes down!).. IT seems there is a problem with Link2sd when having android 2.3!!
I am waiting too for somebody to tell us how to manage this problem and find a solution for it!

Cant we use a2sd in its replacement?

Im running MIUI 1.9.9 with A2SD and it allowed me to shift the Dalvik Cache to my SD-EXT partition.. which I didnt know you could do.. it has saved me about 40mb, perhaps you could do this? I used the A2SDGUI app from the market

Hey i had already tried installing it but i get the following error:

U need a rom with data2sd if u want unlimited memory
These kind of rom requires an extra partition on the sd card...So u have to partition the sd card in order to have one fat32 partition (where ur data like music, images, etc are stored) and one EXT4 partition of 1GB for example (all the apps and apps data will be moved automatically in this ext partition)..with this u don't need to move ur apps to the sdcard with the move to sd option.
after partitioning u can flash the rom..for example this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045824
read all the instructions in the thread, and make sure to understand how the data2sd work

K
Did you already create an ext partition on your sd card for the apps/data2sd?
Backup your SD card data to PC before start.
Boot to ClockworkMod Recovery
Use volume down button to go down to ‘advanced’.
Then press call button
.Select ‘Partition SD Card’.
Select the ext size that you want (128M, 256M, 512M, 1024M, 2048M or 4096M).
Select 0M as the Swap Size.
Copy back your data to SD card.
See if it then works

well mate,
you want to use sense3.... this sense works mostly with HD port from desireHD to desire.
there are different developer's rom presenting this into the development forum:
leedroid HD 3.3.3 r5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170633
there is a faq thread - howto - leedroid HD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226017
coolexe with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250815
those are the most stable rom... i could be wrong, other would correct if i m wrong.
in resume:
- root your device with unrevoked
- s-off your device (unlocked the security on bootloader) alpharev or revolutionnary could do the trick.
alpharev link => http://alpharev.nl/
bootloader resume:
Code:
the bootloader prepare you nand device to launch the system. In that purpose it would format 5 partition calles mtd.
mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "misc"
mtd1: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd2: 00280000 00020000 "boot"
mtd3: 04380000 00020000 "system"
mtd4: 04380000 00020000 "cache"
mtd5: 04ac0000 00020000 "userdata"
those modified when flashing a bootloader are system, cache and userdata in order to gain space for userdata (application)
from bootloader stock system = 250mb
cache =40 mb
userdata=147mb
from coolexe or leedroid rom it s advice to flash a bootloader called cm7r2 coz
system=145 mb
cache=5mb
userdata=287mb
those dev have been able to put a complete rom into 145 mb whilst the stock rom needs at lkeast 250mb. you understand that it would be a waste of precious mbyte space to our tiny device.
to do so they used several script to do so (data++, a2sd) it means you MUST have a partition sd card with
first fat32 (primary partition) followed by ext3 or ext4 (primary partition)
data++ uses symlink linux capabilities to point from system's folder to sd card's folder extX partition.
a2sd use linux power to forced installation app's to extX partition onto your sdcard aswell dalvikcache (it is responsible of growing amount of data when your 're looking to you internal available space).
all this have been widely explained into the faq howto thread leedroid
hope this help

Cool Sensation is sense 3 rom with data2sd

You would definitely have to be rooted which you are already I think but I don't know sorry.
Maybe get a stock based rom that has been tweaked with data2sd?

hmmm already told that sense3 rom with data2sd doesn t exist.
however you can grab from market an app calles A2SDGUI
https://market.android.com/search?q=a2sdgui&so=1&c=apps
which is able to move things like dalvik to your sdcard , you would safe space internal memeory. works with stock rom from what i ve understood.
(never need or used such apps coz used embeded rom's script)
hope this help

Hmmm I have tried a2sd but it didn't work properly therefore I installed supernova Rom which has satisfied my need of internal space but it is slow and lock screen takes a lot of time to pop up what to do now ?

Hello. What class sd card do u have ?

Partition SDHC

I have a Kingston 4gb class4 sdhc card.I want to install galaxy nexus by JM.so how to format card for how much size.can we alter size in future means if another Rom needs more size than this?if yes then how can we?can we delete partition in future?
What is mtd partitioning?
Iam using cwm4.0
Thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

for installing galaxy nexus by JM,i created 512Mb external partition with 0 swap size.You can create SD card partition from recovery.It can be deleted whenever you want by formatting the SD card.
For MTD partitioning you can see this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233340
for galaxy nexus by JM 145Mb system partition and 20Mb cache size should be enough.

If I create 512 mb with 0 swap size SD card partion does other any custom rom will automatically detect it?
Ext3 or ext4 which one to choose for partitioning?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

I might be wrong but I think CWM recovery creates ext3 partition on your SD card,so that would do.
And I have used the same 512Mb partition for rempuzzle rom and for galaxy nexus by JM as well.But when I installed MIUI gingerbread it didnt seem to work,coz it was moving apps to the unpartitioned space.So I think it should work only for the roms for which a partition is required.I might be wrong though.

Correct me if Iam wrong that means a Rom which does not us sd-ext feature will not boot or will have some problem???

If a ROM doesn't use the EXT partition there is no problem.
You can even flash DarkTremor A2SD to get the same functionality.

Hello there,
did you reboot the phone? Did you link only apk or also dex and lib files of the applications?
How many apps are installed? You can view apps that are on the SD card but not on the ext partition. maybe they didnt get linked?

yes i did reboot the Mobile..and i have linked the dex and lib files too
there are 46-49 apps installed
yes it says ---> Linked

when im on sense, im using DT a2sd (ext4)
when im on CM base, im using S2E (ext4). I got more than 100mb free space after more than 50 apps installed.

so should i delete the old ext2 partition and make a ext4 one?

Use flashable data2sd script...it worked for me

It doesn't really matter.
I would suggest factory reset, then installing Link2SD.Open it, and tick "Auto link".Then install all apps you need, and you're fine.
By the way, that internal storage information from phone is not correct.
For example, I have 50 apps installed with 30mb free internal storage.Then I delete one app (2mb), and the phone shows 50mb free.So, it's not correct.Don't know why, but that's the way Link2SD works.I got used to it.
Anyway, if you have Class 6 or up sdcard, then I'd suggest using data2sd, otherwise, stick with Link2SD.

how can you tell what class sd card your using plz ?

I would also recommend S2E, like asdot said earlier.
It is in my opinion the easiest and best solution when you are using CM (7 or 9, both work).
Just install it from the market.
And it is true, if you have a slow SD card I would not use data2sd. The app S2E gives you the option to move apps only, not their data. I use that option and have a very fast phone with basically endless memory

Have u already made partition of sd card via CWM ?
If yes, then install link2sd.
When u'll open it, it will ask whether which partition do you have ...... select ext3
Then reboot.
After that go to link2sd app > menu > show storage info and u'll see it.
Now how to use this
Link2sd is the first app i install on a new rom. Open > link2sd > setting > create link > automaticallly create link of all apps to sd card.
So even if u restore apps from titanium backup, newly installed apps will move to sd ext.
For a CWM partition tip, i'd say select ext4 there with swap size 0.
That's how i did it.

You know how to make partitions with 4ext. You cant do it without losing data. Unless you use gparted
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

I recommend to backup your sd card to pc first.
Then backup your sd-ext partition within 4ext if you have a stuff on the partition.
Within 4ext there should be an option to format sd partitions, then repartition with 1gb. Consider increasing it to 1.5gb if you have spare fat32 space and want to install even more apps.
Finally restore sd contents from pc and sd-ext from recovery.

Thanks guys. I thought I might be able to just increase it without doing anything else but obviously can't. Thanks again.

Hi Guys,
I am using a rather old ROM (LeeDroid) and I already increased the EXT 4 to 1Gb.
However, the phone still got full with apps.
Now I bought a bigger card, increased the EXT 4 to 2 GB, but the phone (or ROM) doesn't seem to recognize it...still cant install new apps...
Are there limitations I don't know? Is there a max size of the EXT4?

Theres no actual maximum limit, but it highly recommended that you dont make the ext partition more than 1.5gb

OK, thanks, I will reduce it, but is that why the phone doesnt see the increase?

you can't just swap cards. have you restored restored the ext4 partition from the old card to the new card?
also depends which leedroid rom you are using. you can get much more space by changing hboot and installing the data++ version of his HD port, read the FAQ. this approach requires s-off.
you don't see the increase because a2sd won't report internal memory as "internal + ext". apps get moved to ext automatically. keep them on internal will trick them to sd-ext, i.e. don't manually 'move to sd'
you can use more of the ext space by also moving dalvik to sd-ext, search the leedroid threads on in that FAQ for flashable dalvik to sd zips. there will always be a limit depending on how many apps you install.
i always recommend using an app like 'diskusage' to browse all your partitions, that way you know exactly how they are filling up

Chief,
Thanks for your responses so far... I am thinking to "upgrade" but the LeeDroid 3.3.3 Data ++ ROM is no longer available to download it seems..
Any idea where I might find it?
Thanks again.

also depends which leedroid rom you are using. you can get much more space by changing hboot and installing the data++ version of his HD port, read the FAQ. this approach requires s-off.
you don't see the increase because a2sd won't report internal memory as "internal + ext". apps get moved to ext automatically. keep them on internal will trick them to sd-ext, i.e. don't manually 'move to sd'
you can use more of the ext space by also moving dalvik to sd-ext, search the leedroid threads on in that FAQ for flashable dalvik to sd zips. there will always be a limit depending on how many apps you install.
i always recommend using an app like 'diskusage' to browse all your partitions, that way you know exactly how they are filling up
