[Q] memory issue

Mt3gs, Rooted, S-on (havent gotten around to s-off yet) CWM installed, formatted system/cache/data installed T-mobile 2.2 froyo ota rom. installed 5-6 simple apps (yahoo msngr/mail, Facebook,)( App2sd on card, pandora on card). getting memory is low message. memory list shows apps i installed take up approx 26 meg. 147 meg supposed to be available. but i only have 9 meg available. where is the rest of my space?

HTC evo 4g. Please tell me what is its RAM? and few other n00b questions.

I have little background in traditional PC hardware. So if some one says their computer specs are 3Ghz dual core, 4 GB ram, 1TB hard drive I can understand it.
Say my EVO specs are:
1 GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 200 GPU, Qualcomm QSD8650 Snapdragon chipset
Internal 512 MB RAM; 1 GB ROM
I am guessing your EVO has the same specs.
So what is my RAM?
and What is my internal storage?
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
I installed Quick system Info pro and it gave me the following specs:
SD Card storage: 7.39 GB, Free 6.8 GB
A2SD Storage : 211MB , Free 65 MB
Internal Storage: 426 MB , Free 291 MB
System Storage: 350 MB Free 68.2 MB
System Cache : 160 MB , Free 157 MB
Memory : 415 MB , Free 109 MB, Idle 14.61 MB
Can some one please take a look at the above stats and tell me what they mean and what can I do to increase my performance as far as making my phone snappier/faster?
____________________________________________________________
Is that "disk" space or RAM available? Or am I talking completely different things?
If I uninstall apps, this space is freed, will my phone be snappier too becuase of increased space? Is RAM == Disk space in these phones?
ANyone help me out understanding this?
Also, I installed apps2sd and I move whatever apps I can to sd card but not all? This was before I rooted the EVO. so
does apps2sd doesnot require root? Then why doesnt google do that by default?
Finally, I rooted the phone using unrevoked recently, is there a way for me to move the remaining apps to sd card which did not move when the phone was un rooted?
Sorry for the barrage of questions. Its saturday and I meant to ask these questions for a long time so I guess I will do the due diligence today.
Thanks guys!

From the overall memory, 512 MB are for use in storage while another 512 MB are for RAM. These are hard limits, freeing one does not necessarily means adding to the other.

See above. There are ways to make the phone more responsive: installing a new kernel can help OR using an overclocking app such as setCPU or juice defender. Obviously, faster phone == faster battery drain in most cases.

Google's app2sd and the app2sd included with certain custom roms (darktremor's) are different things: the google one can only move the app IF the app itself supports it, in some cases ONLY the data associated with the app is moved not the actual app. This does not require a separate EXT2/EXT3 partition.
Darktremor's A2SD works by moving the entire app and its data to the SD card by creating a link to the SD card, the issue with this is that the SD card MUST be partitioned and EXT3 formatted in order to work properly. Not the entire SD card must be partitioned, only a small fraction of it (512 MB).
Finally, I rooted the phone using unrevoked recently, is there a way for me to move the remaining apps to sd card which did not move when the phone was un rooted?

Yes, you can run the command using a computer with ADB installed OR from a terminal emulator: apps2sd reinstall. After you run it, it will reboot the phone OR it will display any errors that prevent A2SD from running properly. You must already have the SD card partitioned in order to use this. Note that you must run the command on 'root' mode or it will display error msgs everywhere that might not be connected with the real error. So make sure you run su first (unless the command prompt already runs in root mode).

i really do not know enough to fully explain it to you.
but if you take all the info you have and add it up you will find all you RAM and ROM.
about 1.5 gb of memory.
Internal Storage: 426 MB , Free 291 MB
System Storage: 350 MB Free 68.2 MB
System Cache : 160 MB , Free 157 MB
Memory : 415 MB , Free 109 MB, Idle 14.61 MB
android takes your phone memory (not sd card) and splits it ... to use as it sees fit.
if you are low in memory because you have too much installed..
when you uninstall apps.. you do free space for the phone to you and will see better performance.
but from your posted info.. your phone should not see any performance issues. I dont see issues till my free storage memory falls below 120 mbs.
you do have memory lost that you nor your phone can use:
System Cache : 160 MB , Free 157 MB
and there should be a few others too... about 200mb lost.
there is a way to get it back, but it is not for NOOBs to try.
Search in the development forum of evo ... for firerat partition mod.

[Q] Can't move App even with Free Space

I'm using Link2SD and even though there are Gigabytes of free space, I can't move a 6MB app from the SD card to the SD card's second partition because of apparently lack of free space:
"pkg: /mnt/asec/appnamehere/pkg.apk Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]"
The internal memory has about 50MB free, SD card has 7GB free and the second partition has 800MB free..
In fact, I can't move any apps to or from the SD card or internal memory either. However, I can unlink apps back to the internal memory without issues.
I'm using ICS for HTC Desire 0.5.1, default HBoot, Clockworkmod Recovery Touch 5.8.0.2, aGPS and default homescreen with no scripts.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks.

Did you try to restart your device? Do the same process again...

[Q] CM 7.2 after moving apps to SD card Internal memory not getting refreshed

i have installed Cm rom 7.2 on my buzz , after moving apps to Sd card internal memory is not getting refreshed...seems like it has been occupied by app only which has been moved to sd card....please help (do ask if you are not clear about the problem i am facing)

Do you mean that for example you have angry birds on internal memory (22 MB) then you move it to sdcard so it become 2 MB. The free space doesn't increase those 20 MB??
If that is what you mean then the answer is really simple. Just wait !
Close the app manager and use your phone normally, after a while go to the app manager again and see the free space
