Hi,
I need your help. I've got a rooted desire running Oxygen 2.0RC ROM (thanks AdamG).
Question is...I keep running out of space when installing apps. I've seen references to "A2SD and EXT2/3/4" and so forth around the forum.
Can someone explain to me what they are and how I can somehow fool my desire into thinking my 16Gb micro SD card is part of its internal memory. I've already moved as many apps as I can to SD card but I keep running out of space.
Is it even possible to fool the desire into thinking the SD card is internal memory??
thanks in advance!
First of all, you're posting this in the wrong forum- this belongs in the Q n A section.
What you need to do is to use an A2SD+ paritition. Download Rom Manager, and make a partition with 512mb and 0mb swap. This will "extend" your internal storage and give you loads more space.

Thanks Samleung.
Just tried that. Seems to have worked so far. Am i right to assume that I have now extended my space by 512mb?
It's not necessarily an extension per say. From now on, your apps will still be installed on the internal memory, but with greatly reduced memory needs as it will be installed to the 512mb partition as well. Download "Quick System Info" to see how much of the 512mb has been used.
I suggest you reinstall your rom, just to be extra sure everything is installed there.
Remember to post in the correct section! PM me if you have any more questions.
Hi sorry for being a big noob but I really need your help guys. I was having low memory issues on my desire so I sucessfully rooted today. I also install the AceS007-3d stable Rom from the developers section and successfully flashed that. It says that I need a sd card with a partition to move apps to ad. I have a 4gb sd card with a 2gb ext2 partition. But when I install an app it still is on the internal memory! the apps should move to the sd card shouldn't they? What do I need to do for them to move? Please help!! Thanks
I don't think you understand how it works fully. Read the root memory faq available via my signature

Hi,
On doing the stock update to KitKat and also with a with custom Lollipop rom, my internal memory was reduced from 32GB to 16GB (with 10.11GB usable).
Can someone provide details of procedure to recover this memory.

Not internal memory, you have it mixed up with internal storage. The actual internal memory is 2gb and the internal storage is 32gb. But the actual sizes are 1.5gb and 24gb, since the missing spaces are used for system files. So if your internal storage is reduced to half of the storage, then you may need to format the storage. Flash the device back to the stock ROM should format the internal storage as well. Else use app such as link to SD to format and partition the internal storage.

Tks Hawkwind. Yes the internal storage is what I am referring to.
If I flash back to stock 4.1 then the 32GB internal storage may well reappear. However I updated via LG update to stock Kitkat and lost 16GB of the 32GB. So will I be able to do any update (from 4.1) or update to custom rom, without losing 16GB ?
Am I an isolated case here ? Has everyone else (with a 32GB internal storage version) successfully updated to Kitkat with no loss ?

You can flash the stock kk rom, and see if that gives you back your lost half of storage space.

No joy, using CWN, I wiped data, system caches. Unmounted cache and system memory. Did a stock install of factory 4.1, and still have not recovered original
32GB of internal storage.
PS. I used stock Android 4.1 KDZ file from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2460859
Hong Kong E98810D_00.kdz
Question would this file be phone specific (like maybe it is for a 16GB version of the phone, and not the 32GB version ???)
Therefore maybe I need a stock version for a 32GB E988 model ? Any advise pls.
I believe this will be resolved
After more searches, it would appear that the KDZ file needs to be device specific.
Therefore I will be looking for either a KitKat or Lollipop rom which is for a 32GB specific version.

Hello i have htc 820 dual and it is supposed to have 16gb internal memory. And i figured out that 9.12gb only is usable and the rest is for the system. My problem is that my internal memory is full and i figured out using sd maid that my files occupy only 1GB of that space.
So, my question is what is hogging the rest of my phone memory? does anyone know about it please? Can that be a bug that have anything to do with the recent lollipop update? thanks in advance waiting for your reply people.

Realistically, virtual sd and /data sharing the same space.

Hi all,
I have a question regarding a phone i own. I flashed cm13 on it and i see it shows only 11.xx GB. Is this normal ? The phone is 16gb
Thanks
I own a 32 gb model and storage wise i think i only have 24 available so much is reserved for system partition plus other partitions efs aboot ect so id about say its normal
I know but on my wifes Galaxy s5 it shows her internal space is 16gb and if i remember correctly my phone showed that as well on the stock lg firmware. See video what i mean. CM13 shows something else (picture first post)

Mine does that after a while what I usually to do is if there is nothing you need on internal storage is to boot into twrp wipe internal storage ,making sure you have your rom on ext card (don't want to wipe that do we) then flash my rom.
This leaves me from a clean install with about 8 or 9 gb left to use on internal storage.I think what happens over time is a lot of useless files tend to build up on internal card and this is the reason you don't have much space left and also the operating system takes up quite a bit as well.
just buy a 64gb micro sdcard... or even a 32gb if you don't need much more, they are really cheap.
part of the missing space is the partition information space and the space used by the system/recovery/cache etc. on android 6.0 you can format it as internal.
How can i format that space ? I am running CM13 that uses Android 6.0.1
Here another screenshot from the recovery, why does the recovery not say i have 16GB ???? i don't really understand why it's not listed.
Because it shows available storage not total
Oke thanks for the answer.
