Hello can anyone suggest any solutions to this problem.
I had 21Mb on my internal memory on my HTC desire ( 2.2 stock ) ( internal mem = Hdd )
I installed the F1 app,
The free space reduced to 8Mb, it used over 13Mb
I looked using app2sd and it says that its installed on the memory card but its only 1.2Mb
I un-installed it and its only freed up 1.2Mb
my question is where the **** has the other 11.8Mb disappeared ?
I've cleared the cache off the phone and rebooted.
Anyone know where I can look ? or what I can do ?

Hi all guys.
It's possible to increase internal storage on HD2??
Total space is 281 MB. Right now i have 20 MB. T T
Anyone suggest?
Thank advance.
Wath build or rom give you this free memory, try app2sd then uninstall some apps
Personnly 30 apps install with 190 mb free under android. All apps are in sf ext partition. Search on forum
Send from my hd2 Under android By Mdj build.
If you want more storage, you have to either buy a t-mous version or make a partition on your SD card and using a2sd. That will save the applications to your memory card.

Yes. Try a rom that has data2ext. It uses secondary ext2/ext3/ext4 partitions to store internal data.
I have a freshly installed Stock Desire (cotulla's one). I installed it without a secondary ext partition and after install I had about ~50mb left on internal storage.
I installed apps2sd and moved what I could on sd card. However I also installed Igo and some other apps that only want to remain on internal storage. Now I have 2 mb left.
Desperately, I used qtadb to delete the default crap from /system/app/, that htc sense comes with. ( Friend stream, news widgets, etc)
After deleting them and rebooting, they don't apear in qtadb anymore but I still have the same amount of free space left.
What can I do next?
PS: It seems it's not rooted. I now have rooted it with z4root.
Sorry to bump this but I am confused. If I have 512 mb of NAND space, how come this 134 mb rom leaved me with 40 mb free?
I compared Desire and HD2 and they are listed to have the same amount of NAND space. So taking a desire rom replica into hd2 should work the same.
Anyone?

Sorry to bring up that thread.
Is there a solution for the problem?
I think that Cortullas stock rom is one of the smoothest Froyo builds.
Works like a charm. But like nemuro i also missed creating a ext. partition.
these days i only have 20mb free.
Is there a way to create an ext. partition afterwards, without reinstalling the whole system?
Thanks for your help...
Can anyone explain to me why when I have a 1Gb Ext4 partition on my SD card with only 367Mb used I am getting Low Storage warning when restoring my apps (143 of them) through Titanium Backup onto a clean HardDroid2 CM7 build with A2SD flashed and confirmed working? When I check it states 199Mb used, 13Mb free but when I use Root Explorer to look into SD-Ext I have App, Private App, Data, Dalvik, etc and all of the app APKs appear to be in there. Am I missing something here? I had the same issue for the first time a couple of days ago when I reflashed Hyperdroid - never had it before, and always do full Task29/fresh MAGLDR/fresh CWM/CWM wipe wipe wipe/etc for each new ROM so SD Ext is always reformatted too. It's driving me nuts
when you install an app, the size of that app gets knocked off the available space, but gets restored when you reboot, so try installing a few, check eth remaining space, then reboot, see if the reported space changes. (Ive never tested it myself, just repeating something i read)_
..also using app2sd and my phone mem seems to decrease also.
When i look into /data and /sdext i see in both the app folder with all apps installed.
but the used space seems to be bigger on the sd-ext.
...when you install e.g. Angry birds with 20 mb you will notice that your internal storage will NOT decrease to that amount: thats the reason why the data folder is smaller than the sd ext.
Seems so that parts of the apps are stored on the phone mem although we ve got app2sd with an sd ext.
Once i tried to delete that data folder, but then all apps stopped working.
In twyeens rom you can move your apps to sd, there was a fix some months ago, so that all apps runs fine from it also e.g. angry birds.

Hi Guys,
I have a Defy Plus with DFP-231 Asian Retail version ROM. I had some memory cleaning widget which shows that my applications could use a total of 350 MB memory.....
I thought that the D+ came with 2 GB internal memory so I could load upto ~2GB of games(apps) running. ...:crying:
With all this confusion...
My Question is : What is the Difference between The RAM and ROM and Why is my widget showing only 350 MB usable for apps???
Kindly correct me If I'm wrong in my assumptions.
Cheers,
Vic
do not confuse ram with rom. rom is the storage which stores installed apps and system files, its like the hdd in a pc, and it keeps its content when powered down.
ram is a temporary storage from where apps run, and it clears after a power-down. (memory in a pc)
the defy has 2gb built-in storage (rom), from which 1.2 is usable for apps, and it has 512MB ram (around 470-480 usable).
you probably have a lot of apps installed, thats why the widget shows only 350mb remaining.
Thank you for clearing this

Hi, :laugh:
Thank you very much for clearing this.. So does that mean when I install apps to my phone instead of SD card they get installed in RAM and not ROM????
Cheers,

Usable for Apps means memory that can be used to store apps permanently.. It is the available ROM on your device. As stated before the 2GB memory is shared by OS & Apps.
RAM (512 MB on defy+) is temporary and is cleared on reboot and other activities.
earlier i read a post where samsung said that from 16gb total storage half is taken by main software ... now that i have a new rom on my fone ... m still getting only 8gb storage and from that 4 gb is taken by new rom ... m confused hee .. where is the rest of 8gb gone now ???
You have a total of 16GB internal memory.
From that memory, about 7GB is reserved for system, cache and other stuff.
You should have about 8-9GB free internal storage with nothing but the ROM installed. A ROM is installed on the reserved system partition, it shouldn't use your internal storage.
yes thats what i thought but i installed new rom n its using half of the remaining 8gb and m left with only 4gb usable space ..
did i do something wrong .. like installed rom normally as we do but now this prob :/
You obviously have left over app data or something. As I said, ROMs aren't installed on the user data partition.
