Is it normal to have essentially zero free space for system slash ROM apps? I've been trying to convert a few apps to system but it won't let me. Any I did if this is normal, or if not any way to increase space for system apps?

Hello, I am a total noob and could not find a similar problem listed. I just rooted mt3g slide and can't install more apps due to insufficient memory. Seems I have 416mb dedicated to ram and very little left for use to install apps. I moved as many apps as I could to the sd card yet the amount of space I have is really low. I am running CM6.1. Any help would be appreciated and thank you.
Are you using DarkTremor's apps2ext or Froyo's built in apps to sd feature?
I'm using the built in feature of froyo. I don't have any issues moving the apps just not enough room to install new ones.

Open termnial emulator and type the following as it appears:
su
df
And paste the output here. It should show the sizes of your different partitions, although if you are still s-on these should be normal. Try clearing your app caches and stuff, how many apps do you have installed anyway?

There are 57 apps in the app drawer and a total of 110 (system apps included) apps. I attached the SS requested.

That shouldn't give you low space, but it could I suppose. You have 148 mb for memory, I have 320 or something, since I repartitioned my phone. Since you have less than half the space I do, and I have 159 app elements, (77 user apps). That gives me about 80 mb of free space. I suggest you hop over to this thread to repartition your phone. If you are running cm6 or cm7, just follow the 140mb system 1.5 mb cache scheme, it gives you BOATLOADS of room for user apps, as you can probably gather by the fact that I have 77 user apps.

Thanks. This worked out really well. Have CM7 RC1 running with tons of space. Did have to play around with the cache setting - I'm using 140mb system 20mb cache. Thanks again!

No problem, glad it worked out
Hey Guys,
I have been running this firmware for around 3 days now, I noticed it uses around 50mb more memory than the 4.0.A.2.368.
I have removed exactly the same bloatware, and have the exact same applications, usage etc
Any ideas on how to improve the available memory?
Obviously the more being used i= more battery use and that is also noticably shorter than the previous firmware I had.
Nobody have any ideas?

Seems there are more open processes in the background that's taking that memory up.
You gotta remove background services that you don't use (and that aren't vital to the phone's stability of course) if you want more free working ram and less battery drain. Static cached apps use pretty much no battery, but services do. I hacked and slashed away at my system apps until I now have no apps left that aren't vital to the phone or to me. After applying the Dalvik2cache mod and moving many user apps to SD, I have about 320MB free ram and about 185MB free system space. Seems like plenty to me, and the battery drain isn't that bad for me either now that I have barely any services running
it's called Android memory pooling, linux stuff.. the more memory used, the better your phone performs..
Went to scan something with Photo Reader and was told that I didn't have enough storage space available. This seemed odd to me as I've installed fewer apps than on my tablet, and haven't even had time to download data files for most of the games.
1.45 GB Available, and it's not enough space for system functions?
Is ~10GB how much I should have internal?
EDIT - Probably should have said 11GB, just actually looked at the full number 10.97 is rather closer to 11 than 10... And that's why you sleep at 3 am not post!
Hello everyone,
As I have downloaded more and more apps I have noticed I seem to have run out of room in this section. This is not only preventing me from downloading more apps but more annoying preventing me from updating some current apps. I know I can uninstall some but that is less then ideal.
I have searched this site but most fixes look like they might be phone specific so I thought I would ask others with my device.
For information purposes I am running a cynanogenmod 10 build.
Any help would be greatful,

There is currently no way to expand internal app memory, but what you can do is move some apps over to the internal SD. Most game files are already stored in the internal SD, but APK's are mostly stored in the internal app memory. Some apps though do have a large executable. For instance Antutu Benchmark. Might wanna try cleaning app cache as well, could free you quite a bit of space
I'm using the stock kernel and, of course, facing issues with the small internal memory. I'm using link2sd, but it still leaves a fair amount of data in the internal memory (ie, 16 mb for Asphalt 6, 14 mb for Facebook, 13 mb for Flash, a couple of mb for many other apps), so I'm always with a somewhat limited space for applications.
So I wonder if there is something capable of moving far more data to the SD card, so I don't need to worry about having enough room for apps. I was looking at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spazedog.mounts2sd but it mentions init.d support, and googling about all that stuff doesn't really explain it in more layman terms.
Thanks in advance
You cant be using Link2Sd properly then. It leaves virtually nothing in the internal memory. I had a 32gb SD card full of games and still had about 200mb free internal memory. When you create a link are you trying to move the apps to SD afterwards as they should show as being on internal?
Well, I have it set up to link automatically on application install, and to link application, dalvik-cache and libraries. The install locationis set to external and I have ticked the check boxes to relink libraries and dex files at startup.
To test it, I've unistalled Facebook and reinstalled. Once the app finishes installing, I get the link2sd notification that it's linking it to the SD. I login to my account and once I go to the application settings to check the app size, it reports a total of 31,33 MB, of which 23,56 MB correspond to the aplication and 7,77 MB to data. And has the option to move to the SD so it's certainly in the internal memory.
Link2SD storage info reports the internal memory (380 Mb total, 15% free), the Sd card (12% free) and the sd card's second partition, at /data/sdext2, with 712 MB total, of which 390Mb are used.
Sorry for bumping, but is the link2sd behaviour I'm describing normal behaviour then?

Yes, it does appear to be normal behaviour. Try going into the Link2SD app and see if it says whether the app is linked or not. I've had instances where my apps don't get linked even after running the process. When you check the application size in settings (not in Link2SD), the application size will remain unchanged as I think Link2SD treats your partition as internal storage and therefore it still shows the application as it's full size as opposed to how much of it is actually on your internal storage
