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...

Hi there, just a quick question about phone memory.
I have a rooted Legend running a baked Rom with Apps2SD, but I am hovering around 20mb of free space on my phone, even though I have deleted most of my apps and moved others to SD.
I have had a look around the root folder, but is there something else I should be deleting to free up space?
My best guess is you did not wipe and install the custom ROM. You installed it over the earlier ROM which is occupying space.
After MAGLDR 1.11 my android show total internal memory as 253mb shouldn’t it be close to 512mb what should I do.

It's OK, every build is using different size of the memory.
How much free memory does it show?
Total 253mb
Free 131mb
It's MIUI build
But how can i chick what is the size of my internal memory.
No that is about right, you are lucky that is pretty good for EU HD2.
P.S this is not a question thread

I recall at sometime in the past Android on HD2 could only use 384M stabley, dunno if this has been upped since???
EDIT: If the OP is talking about ROM then ignore what I said above.
Edit: Never mind, not thinking clearly

NAND is now partitioned, internal memory in Android only shows you how much left of and total size of the data partition.
You also have a system partition which is around 100mb for MIUI/CM/AOSP builds and about 200MB+ for Desire ROMs.

It is 512 - mine too
Just that miui is taking some part for the system to install.
This is not SD or RAM build, so you have to deal with what you have.
you can try this and install on SD:
Root your HD2 Android phone by donwloading z4root.apk.
Download and install ModInstallLocation.
In Superuser app, allow ModInstallLocation app.
In ModInstallLocation app choose location 2 (SD Card) and save
Maybe restart can't remember.
From now on any app you download will AUTOMATICALLY be installed on SD card. Also you can move your existing apps from Phone to SD in the Application settings.

it still takes up memory in the internal storage. Not the whole app gets transfered.
I got 65 user apps and games installed (according to TI backup) and have 125mb left. Got tons of more games i would like to play, but to chose freedom of not being dependent on the SD card, ill compromise.

Check out this, this may help!!!
I'm not running your rom, but if it helps I can show you what's taking up the space on my jdms rom. This is on 1024 leo
/system - 146mb
/data - 742mb
/cache - 40mb
So 1024-146-742-40 = 96mb used by radio, hardspl and magldr. 72mb if you include the 24mb of questionable space you can squeeze out of magldr.
Although I'm not entirely sure how the 1024mb is calculated in the first place. Memory and storage people tend to like to use 1,024,000,000 bytes as 1024mb, if that's the case then radio, hardspl, magldr + 24mb would only take up 48mb (that actually sounds more right to me).
jep, at 512leo it's like ~ 90mb system.img, 5mb boot.img, rest of 282 in my case (custom modified cm build) "data.img".
if cwm installed 5mb recovery, 1m misc, 32mb cache.
90+5+5+1+32+282 = 415, rest is used by bootloader, hspl, radio, firmware itself etc.
For some reason I don't have much memory left in my internal storage.
Already moved almost every app to SD.
What do i do?
Get a TMO US 1024 HD2
What rom are you running? Many of the later builds now incorporate a2sd+ or data2ext which frees up more space. This however involves having to partition your sd card. Check the threads out that have these terms in their titles.

2.2 NAND.
What is TMO US 1024 HD2?
This is getting pretty annoying though. Moved every app to SD, can't install a game because the internal storage is low.
I found a thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908528
But what are they? Noob here, don't know anything about such things... Is it a rom? Is it as stable as Android nand 2.2? Do I need to start from scratch to install it?

2.2 NAND, but which one? There are many roms using 2.2 NAND.
There are 2 types of HD2, the standard one had 512mb memory and there is a T Mobile USA HD2 which has double ie 1024mb memory.
Yes, that rom is a 2.2 NAND rom (based on Desire HD build). Read the instructions carefully on the first post of that thread and you will have plenty of onboard memory left. You can also try the rom linked in my signature. I still have about 700mb left (I have a 1gb partition on my sd card for the data and apps) after installing a heap of apps.
You will need to start again as that rom uses a different installation method ie CWM instead of using daf.exe to flash via usb.

So I lose all my apps that are installed on the SD currently?
Apparently the internal memory on my HD2 is 119 Mb.
I'm surprised that it only has 119 mb total though. It is showing that on Titanium backup. Can't view the total internal storage size normally. Or did this happen due to that rom?
Weird stuff...

Hi,
No, its not weird. Since european HD2 has only 512MB internal memory, so if you flash a rom it takes about half of your internal storage (depend on a rom you will use). In my case I had only 150mb after flash a rom and partition layout for CWM. That is why I use app2sd+ and installed all apps to sd card's extended partition and moved dalvik cache also to sd and now I have over 160MB free and all apps installed, including some games as well. If you are low on internal storage, you should try that.

That is the very first NAND rom that was released and was more of a poc than anything else. Yes, it is probably normal after installing that rom that there is little space for apps on internal memory. Even if you use an app like App2sd, you are limited in terms of what can be moved. Try one of the more recent roms which allow you to partition your sd card and have that recognised by the rom as internal memory. That way you can have 1gb memory and no more problems. You can take a backup of your apps and restore them (apps only) after flashing the new rom.

Use Titanium Backup or My Backup Root (both available from the market). If your rom is not rooted you will need to use z4root to root the rom first.
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.
Hello
I installed JokerDroid ROM and I really like it. After fresh install i have 167mb of free internal memory ( because of a2sd). But as we know there are some problems with sense based roms (2.2.1) and AlphaRev - no setup wizard, no htc wallpapers... and MMS send/receive problem.
After that i flashed Sense fix. Now i got working setup wizard and most important I can send and receive MMS.
But the problem is that after fix i get only 120mb of free internal space and all new apps are installed on phone. Somehow that Sense fix destroyed a2sd option.
Is there a way how to fix this?
Thanks
The 167mb free memory after fresh installation is not because of a2sd. Make sure you have created ext partition correctly. Then install "a2sdgui" from market and see if it is working.

I installed ext partition correctly because i was using it normal last month with this ROM.
Before i created ext partition i got 120mb free with this ROM(fresh install) and after i created ext i get 167mb. Also after ext partition when i install angry birds it uses only about 2mb of internal storage, before about 22mb. So yes ext partition works.
The problem starts when i flash Sense fix.
Any idea?

No idea. I haven't used jokerdroid actually. So, maybe I'm out of knowledge. But I doubt getting 120MB free memory on fresh install (without ext partition).
And regarding angry birds, suppose if you install it without ext partition, I guess it will be installed to ".android_secure" folder of sdcard (atleast on stock froyo rom). Because it supports default apps2sd and also has default install location to sdcard (fat partition). So, maybe you shouldn't consider it on judging that ext partition works.

Re-enable A2SD using the terminal emulator with the required commands (a2sd reinstall and a2sd cachesd), or, download A2SD GUI from the market and re-enable it.
Just before I read this last post i fixed this problem with A2SDGUI. I found that after Sense Fix the dalvik cache was moved to internal storage. I just moved it back to sd and now it works.
Thanks to both of you for your answers.

Same as any rom, flash it in recovery. But if you mean running sense on a cyanogenmod rom it's more complex, you'd have to port it from another source
