Ok, so I followed some instructions I found to see if a2sd was installed properly, and it was, but I've installed some apps and my free memory inside my phone is around 33 MB... (not ram) Anyone knwo why a2sd would be installed correctly according to the instructions I used, and why the phone says I have such little space left?Last time I checked, it was 99MB

There was a thread just like not more than 30 minutes ago.
Anyways, check your widgets load out as they could be pre-fetching or eating your ram. I had a similar issue and ram kept dropping until it was around 29MB. Weird thing is that I then wanted to try to setup an alternate setup on the stock launcher, and when I tried loading a widget there, it forced closed the launcher and when I checked my memeory at that point, it was back solid around the 110MB point. I switched back to Sense with my widget setups and had no problems since.
you might also try to not use things like pre-fetch on widgets such as News and Weather, and shut off auto updates for items you don't use.
You can also just ry removing all widgets and starting again to see if that does the trick.

Not ram... not ram... not ram.... phone memory... the internal phone storage.
And I was wrong, its not down to 33... it used to be near 100MB free, now dswn to 71.83MB free space. Not ram
But while I am thinking about ram, I start up with around 78MB free and consistently run at around 58MB

Im not sure if this is a known issue or an issue with just my phone. When ever my today screen refreshes, like if I change the settings or which plugins are showing, SBSH weather 1.2 takes almost 30 seconds to return to the screen. I have it saved on the memory card and after a soft reset I have 25 megs free ram, usually down to 19 after using some apps. Does this happen to anyone else? Also I am not using the extra icons that it includes.
I have SBSH but i dont have the same problems but i do have the same exact ram as you about 25, then down to 19 but i dont have that problem with it takin a while to refresh

The problem occurs if you install PW to storage card - install to main memory and it will be fixed
I actually do have it on the main memory. The first time I installed it I had it on the sotrage but then I reinstalled it to the main. Im not sure why I typed memory card.

It happened on mine with memory card installation - maybe you have some residual files/registry etc.. from previous install causing conflict.
Also try version 1.3.5 http://www.sbsh.net/forums/index.php?s=f6c6322510ca731655c32740434a83fb&showtopic=11350
My phones lately been acting funny
programs have been fore closing and its been laggy and idk why i did put any new apps..
dont know what iv did different i never did anything i have dxtop but it never did anything before
my phones moded and rooted and all the other stuff JF released
If you have a lot of apps or if you're running low on internal phone memory, it would cause your phone to lag. There is also a couple more reasons, I just can't think of em at the moment. =/
You ned task manager. Look which programs you've got running, may be you don't need some of them. I know for sure that "phonebook" app and "mybackup" app are some serious memory hogs, my phone was acting all goofy, uninstalled those two-problems are gone and forgotten.

And i happen to have both of them..........well how do I check my internal memory..I have dxtop memory widget and always says around 24 to 26 mb free of memory..so u think i should remove those 2 apps? i mean my back up i can always reinstall but i have that nadroid backup thing when i got my phone rooted to do a full system backup to my sd card

Don't quote me on that but....
24-26 mb of memory is probably available for app installs (that would be system/data/data part of your phone). Running programs occupying different part of the memory, think of it as a RAM memory on the computer. Android has it's own program to decide which processes will run in the background and which wont but it's too immature at the moment. It'll get better with time.
With that said, phonebook, mybackup and in your case dxtop are all running constantly on your phone along with gmail, myfaves (whether you like it or not), maps, messaging, and bunches of others. Something is coded in them to prevent android to shut them down. Lock 2.0 is another one that runs in the backround all the time but it's not that memory hungry and doing just fine by itself.
The best way to check what's running is to download "Task Manager for root users" from the market (it's free). It will show which programs are running at the time. Click on any program and it will show the option to shut that program down. but if you shut down phonebook and hit refresh you'll see that it will restart itsef.
I suggest that you get rid of the phonebook, it looks very very nice but can't make it default so what's the point? Backup is waste of space too, you can back up all the info other ways so again, what's the point?
Good luck, I'm sure you can figure it out and reclaim the speed that G1 is capable of. Sorry for taking so long to get to the point.
Oh yeah, Imeem will run in the background indefenately as well.

Well got rid of phone book and my backup since i can always back up my full system
and I already have advance task manager and i can close all the applicatiosn running but not proccess or services with that said I always have close everything app and run that once in a while
I noticed that with dxtop(trial) that every time I went to the home screen, either by hitting home button or backing out of an app, there was a lot of lag. And this is before the little countdown timer the trial has in it.
Uninstalled and am in the process of trying out the other two home replacement apps. Dont have that problem with them. If you are still having issues might try unistalling dxtop.
I probably shouldn't even ask because it was covered many times but.... do you have your caches on sd and if not do you clear them often?
how do i close programs running in the background. i know i have to hold home, but wat do i do to close them.

My I9000 is very laggy. Not always, just most of the time.
Closing com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.una & Daily Briefings with TasKiller gets me back around 30 MB, available memory now back around 60MB & phone now useable.
I've found a couple of samsung apps in system/app, SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk is 8.9MB, I think that's the culprit. How do I stop it running? Do I just delete it? (I'd probably copy it to the SD card & backup just in case.)
Are there any others i should get rid of/prevent from starting?

I use LauncherPro so I don't (can't) use any Samsung Widgets. However, I was using touchwiz for a while, I didn't have many memory issues with it. If the widget is running you can just click and hold the widget and move it to the trash, you don't need to back it up (it'll still be installed). There are many other things running that the Samsung TaskKiller doesn't pick up, that said, Android from what I read and see myself doesn't need much more than 30-50mb free at any time (though when I'm going to start surfing and doing a lot of activity I do try to free up around 150mb, just incase) and if you happen to push the boundary it'll free up memory for you.
If you want to be able to kill more tasks get ATK (advanced task killer).
After what ive read android dont page memory the way computers do, when it runs out of working memory. Reason is lack of memory i guess. But with several gigabytes of memory in internal storage, whats the problem?
With winmo I had to share working memory with installed software (if not installing on sd).

No lah. Ram & rom, different.
Hello Desire HD world !
I have a problem really annoying with my DHD.
Sense is rebooting very often when the device is out of memory (it always happens at the bad moment ).
I experienced the same thing with my Milestone, and problem was solved by adding the line ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 in /data/local.prop, and then system took memory on other apps, and LauncherPro stayed in memory.
Sense does not use this file, I tried to create it, but nothing happened.
Any idea ? Because with so much RAM, I don't understand why Sense is not kept in memory, there is a lot of useless apps loaded !
Thanks !
PS ; I use the last stock ROM with no taskiller.
Up !
Nobody has the problem or nobody knows how to fix it ?
I have been noticing this as well. It's pretty annoying to turn your phone on to use it, and have to wait 20 seconds for the launcher to start!
You'd think they would be more aggressive with keeping it in memory, as there are plenty of apps sleeping in the cache which should be removed before Sense.

I would say get rid of some apps that you don't need. I have everything I could possibly use, and still have well over 700 MB left. To use all the memory you have you must see some apps you downloaded just to see what they are, and don't even use. If you actaully do use them all then I don't know what you can do unless some can be moved to a SD card.
I think you misunderstood the problem .
The memory is the RAM, not the ROM. I still have about 700 mb free on my device.
But when a lot of programs are opened, Sense is killed by the system, it does not have the priority, and I don't understand why.
Oh sorry. Yeah misunderstood. I use Mini Info from the Market, and my RAM usage even under heavy use barley gets to around 200 out of 623 available. Maybe there is something stuck that is using up so much memory. Do you have a lot of widgets on your home screens? Also do you restart often?

I have one widget on each screen. And I make a restart every morning.
Maybe the Live Wallpaper is the cause ?
I am the only one having the problem ?

No you're not! I just had Sense restart on me RIGHT NOW, after installing and using Catch Notes.
Ok so issue is real.
Without Sense no problem to keep the Home in memory.
Weard.
Do you use the Spare Parts app?
No spare parts, everything is stock, except the root.
So i download this new app called process manager. It is a pretty good app that has a feature that shows you what starts up and how much memory it takes up... This works for both apps and services....
I strictly use Launcherpro for my launcher but was surprised to find that my phone was starting up and loading Dell Stage, and all the widgets. The stage took about 5 megs and each widget took an additional 2-3 megs. I used titanium backup to remove these things because I do not use them.
Further analyzing the data of what memory was being used, I went from 140 megs free to 200. I either removed or froze items that I decided weren't really necessary.
I have noticed battery time improvements and the phone is leaner and meaner now. I end up opening up this app now ever few days and check to see what is going on...
so if you are not using apps or background apps, its best to probably remove them.. just be careful!
What apps you running there?
I'm running 351 and I have Stage Home running, with the Music and Pictures widgets. I uninstalled the other widgets(Movies, Social, Books) and I have 232MB free, and my Dell runs lightning fast.
I like to keep my Streak light and fast.
Map and pandora always starts themselves automatically and eat 40mb worth of memory.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
use Root Explorer and delete all the .apks and will solve most of your problems. I installed process app you mentioned and had hardly anything like you mentioned loaded. I always delete them about two minutes after installing any rooted ROM.

Ok youve sold me , I am going to root. Which ites did you remove and which did you decide to freeze? Your list may be helpful.
You can probly use task killer as well.
but use titanium backup to delete or freeze apps
I froze lota, log manager. Log storage
Removed all att crap
Removed uneccessary live wallpapers
Removed swype
Removed anything I didn't use that was an app.
Take a look and see what is loading on your streak before you remove items
