Hi.
My desire will not recognize the internal storage. Root explorer shows another 202.18mb left but the software shows 15. This has been a persistent problem since CM7. I am currently running JellyNow. It's an awesome rom, but the storage space indicator is getting anoying. Is there ar eason for this? And more importantly is there a way to fix it? It has happened with every rom from Mildwild to PA 2.+.
Help? I am fairly capable at these things.
I got the phone used with CM7 on it, could it be that hidden somewhere internally?
Thanks.

For more storage, check out the partitioning guide in my sig. You will get all the space you want.
Ps.. sorry for any mistakes.. i'm a bit drunk..

Hello guys,
I am very new to HTC phone and i managed to root my htc desire
using this guide nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire
after root you can see in the picture i have App2sd enabled in pictures but my internal phone memory is still going lower. I have couple of gameloft games installed Ashphat 5, RealFootball, Gangster,heavy gunner and hawx and apps like astro, act1, documents to go.
I tried installing Darktremor A2SD version 2.7 but phone kept on restarting after htc logo so i rooted the phone again with nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire guide.
My phone is on orange contract uk. I don't want to brick this phone.
please guide me to the right direction to install right rom with apps2sd+ or apps2sd so that every thing gets installed on sd card instead of phone memory. I have been reading this forum and Modaco forum for couple of days now. I can't get apps2sd to work properly so i can have loads of phone memory.
I have 16gb Sd card class 2 during apps2sd process i made Goldcard with sd card 4gb which came with the phone.
I don't want to brick my phone. what is the safe method?
Please guide me in right direction so i can enjoy desire more.
Sorry if i asked question which were asked before.
Thanks
I'm facing the exact same problem as yours. All the tests shows that app2sd and app2sd+ is working.
But, the internal memory still decreases. Till now, I have no idea how to solve this.
Apparently it's related to the /data/data/ folder still filling, I don't know much more past this point.
There must be another rom which has app2sd+ where application gets installed in to sd card.
I am not sure about if i should boot to some awesome roms posted here. Will try when someone who was in same situaution as me gives me thumb up to install new rom and apps2sd which works

As has been previously said, the application does get installed to the SD card. However, any "data" in /data/data is left in internal memory.
I have Copilot installed on my Desire. It takes up 18.50mb in total - 11.23mb for the application and 7.27mb for data. If I used Apps2SD, I should regain the 11.23mb, but the 7.27mb data is still in internal memory.

I understand that some data gets installed on internal phone memory. I also read in these forum people are downloading google earth and co pilot big application and they still have over 100mb data left in internal memory. I haven't installed apps2sd+ i only have apps2sd normal when i followed this guide nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire.
I wanted to know is there any other rom which has apps2sd+ which store majority data in sd but not internal rom.
Which rom do you think is better for newbie like me. Modaco customer R3 which has app2sd+ custom build or any other free rom in htc Desire Android Development thread?
Hi guys. I know the answer must be hidden somewhere but I have to make a quick decision about buying a Desire (I have a short term offer). So if I have a new Desire and I root it etc, then I should make a partition on the card of 512MB, using lets say Rom Manager. Then if I install a ROM containing A2SD+ , I should be able to install all the apps I want without worring about the internal storage, correct? Am I missing something?
Thank you very much ffor your time.
The internal storage memory will still go down in size as some of the stuff still gets put in there. It just won't go down as much (or as quick) with A2SD+ enabled.

And is it enough to have the generic rom from the Kitchen, containing A2SD?
Hi there,
I have this problem. I did noticed it just now.my phone keeps informing me there is not enough space in phone.i uninstalled few apps imstaled few other apps and so on so on.now i have only 16 Mb left.i noticed it on last app.i tried a few apps and games but after uninstallong them(via settings/manage applications) not all of the storage they have occupied have been gained aftwr uninstal.so basically some storage was lost somewhere.i cannot find any apps related files on phone and also they are write protected folders on phone memory(this is becasue i have NO root i guess).so i cannot delete the leftovers.what to do now?how to get the storage back? is this common issue? Also i have an issue that i cannot install/update apps on sd card. I have to install/move-then-update them on phone memory and then move them to sd card.for eg Mapdroyd cannot be installed.it keeps saying "could not install on usb storage or sd card" or smthng like that.i have to unmount the sd install it and then move it manually.
I am using stock 2.2.
I am considering an factory reset but i want to fix it if possible and prevent in future.
Any advice?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I had exactly the same problem with my son's Wildfire, but as I had already rooted and installed a custom ROM on my Desire to solve the same issue i was keen to root the Wildfire too. The procedure is painless (Revolutionary is a Noob friendly semi-automated process - search in the Android Development thread). I used Deep Knights ROM and now have 133Mb free space after loading loads of apps and games. Take the plunge!
Hey hope somebody can solve this problem
I bought a new 7 GB SD card for my Wildfire not so long ago and saved most of my apps from the phone accross to it. All was fine for a while until my phone alerted me saying that it was low on storage space. On checking the memory card I noticed that I still had well over 6 GB of free space. All the apps that I checked are saved onto the SD card and some don't give an option to be moved to SD card. This is also stopping me from downloading new apps and also all the apps I have wont update as it says there is no space, even though there is plenty.
My wildfire is NOT rooted and has the original HTC installed Android OS (Froyo 2.2.1)
I am planning on rooting the phone and putting on a custom ROM in the future but in the meantime I was wondering if there was a solution to this problem.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks, Wooster
When your deivce say that you are low on storage than it means that you don't have enough internal memory space left!
You cannot move many apps to your sd card because your device is not rooted.
I would recommend you rooting your device to solve that problem because then you can create custom mtd partitions and installing a2sd script (both can be found in development thread).
Thanks for the reply. I will just root the phone then today. Thanks for the help

I will apologize in advance for acting the village idiot but i don't get it.
I have been running the script to swap my card for the internal memory.
I have tried both Clean Rom 5.0 and Jedi x16
Tried both with different Kernels
Same Result, I get it to "Work" in that I see the "internal" memory as my 64gig card
However
All apps are still loading to the actual phone memory.
I am at a complete loss as to how I fix this. ill attempt to anwser some of the questions you may have in order to help me........
I am currently running Clean Rom 5.0 with perseus alpha36
card was formatted
ran script properly............Must have or I would have seen the swap under "storage"
Is there a step im missing? I see under app manager that the apps are still going to the actual phone memory.
I hope that made some level of sense and someone can help me out.
What is your micro Sd format?

anybody home???
Zzzzzzzzzzz
Seriously, nobody can help????
i'm sorry bud, but android ICS and higher version are not allowed to move apps from Internal to SD. Google made the changes, but there are ways to do this and i assume you are rooted. Here it is, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889550, directory bind, i used it for a while, it works.
I have a working zip for this, it swaps the internal and external memory. You still need it?
I believe folder mount may be of some use to you.
