Hello all. I need some help with the internal storage. I just didn't really understand the fair usage of this memory...
It says the phone is 16 GB but we only could use 10 GB so I am assuming that the rest (6 GB) is for the system but when I calculate, I am only using like 2,85 GB in internal but it shows like 6,54 used of 10 GB.
What I use is: 2,85 / 10 GB
What it shows: 6,54 / 10 GB
I mean there is a huge difference and I want to know why... Is this phone come with 3,69 used storage in the first place? This is a bit hilarious to me.
Someone please tell me why, is it the same for everybody or just me?
Please, anyone?
Hi, same here. I had an Nexus 5x before and it was different. Ok, the Nexus is running a Vanilla Stock Android Rom and Huawei comes with a lot of Apps and theming. So it must be bigger as the Vanilla Android. I think it is normal.

Fresh Rom 1.0 with De-Fresh and Nexus One Boot screen
Recovery 1.5.2
8GB SD Card (96mb Swap, 1024 ext3, 6736mb fat32)
I had around 122mb of free space after installing Fresh rom, after a while it dropped to 120mb. I tested to see what was on the SD Card and all of my apps were on the SD card but nothing else so I moved everything I could like dalvik cache, apps-private, /data, /data/data, etc. After moving everything to my SD Card I removed it from the phone and after removing everything from the phone I had around 144mb free space. I rebooted my phone I had 122mb again! Woke up this morning and had 120mb of free space. Is there anything that could be causing this? Any tips on how to free up internal memory?
Thanks.
why would you need more than 122mb free memory?
Nothing to worry about but if you get below 50mb then I might start to worry.

What do you mean you moved it? You can't just move dalvik-cache and boot-cache. They will just rebuild themselves after you reboot. Like others said, you have a ton of free space.
Thanks for the quick replies everyone. I was just wondering since my friend's Eris showed 144mb completely stock with about 8 apps. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong. Any suggestions for making the Hero run faster?

i believe the eris has more memory than the hero, i know it comes with a better battery also. but with apps2sd you don't need to worry about free internal memory (it isn't RAM) so it won't help the speed of the phone. that's just for app/data storage.
edit: the eris also comes with a 8gb sd card, compared to our 2gb

i thought the eris came with a 1350ma battery and sprint hero got the 1500ma battey

you're right! i looked up on the htc site and for sure i stand corrected.
i misunderstood this post i read a few weeks back...

They do have a 1550mah for the GSM Hero oddly enough.
I have seen reviews for the Seido battery which is like 1750mah and some people where saying they were getting another 3 hours of use out of it. Then again when paired with the Eris people were getting almost an extra half days use out it(we are stuck with like a 1300mah battery).

i just figured out when i read it again this guy has a eris. i feel stupid
Someone told me the Nexus One doesn't need apps2sd. I'm curious why they said that. Is it because it works that way automatically or are they just saying that because of the extra RAM and ROM?
The nexus one has 512 megs of rom. Tons of room for apps at this point there just really isn't much need for apps2sd since there is so much room. Also native ROM storage is probably faster then SD access.

Also I'm pretty sure Google said they were working on encrypting apps so you could store them on your SD card in the future
I installed all my apps that I normally use, plus a few others, and I have 130MB+ left in storage. My G1 started with around 70MB free depending on which ROM I used. I had a 512MB partition (formatted to around 500MB) and usually had close to 400MB free with my apps on it. I think we'll be fine for a bit, but when really, REALLY nice games come along to take advantage of the phone's power, we'll need microSDHC storage.
I've moved up from a G1 rooted to the MT4G, so I've always had apps2sd. It's just a necessity with the limited space.
My question is on the MT4G, since we have 1GB of internal space, do I really even need to move any apps to SD? What would be the pros and cons of moving apps to SD on this phone?
Right now, I'm still stock, not rooted, with 96 apps installed and I still have 850+ mb internal space.

I'd say don't go for it. See my sig; I'm also leaving behind my G1 where yes, it was definitely a necessity. However, even with a C6 SD card, things were noticeably slower off the SD vs internal storage. It's just not worth the performance hit right now when you have ample internal storage.
I dont see a reason to move them with a 1gb of space, that will be increased once devs figure out how to unlock the partition.
I had 2 on my N1 with only about 150mb to play with
cool. I wondered about that. I just moved everything that got installed on SD back to phone.
no a2sd until i run out of space for apps.....which i dont see happening for myself.

Yeah... a gig is really a crap-ton of space for apps like these... maybe when apps get huge after gingerbread, there may be a use for moving some less used / less critical apps.
I'm just wondering as this does not seem to be a topic written about much.
For example, this thread details how to do it based on another rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7021325&postcount=2
But, this would be doable on a rom such as Cyanogenmod 6.1.1 I presume?
One obvious benefit would be to have more internal memory to be used for apps or whatnot, but does it benefit with making the system feel a bit faster or speedier, or anything of the sort?
Thanks for any info you provide.

The problem with doing that is it usually causes a performance loss.
Unless you have a high class card.
I have a class 6 SD card, I read that using a 4 or higher is recommended, so perhaps it would be fine in my case? I certainly wouldn't try it with the included card, that's only a class 2.

Class 6 may be fast enough to do it.
You're welcome to try it and see what the result is.
I certainly wouldn't try it with any slower of a card though.
Anyone have any experience doing so, or encountered any positives or negatives of attempting to do so?

I've done it to free up space. I've got about 230 apps/installed widgets and moving the davlik was the only way to reclaim my space. Works fine. Has slowed my phone but is acceptable (Class 2 32g card). I do have to say though that at this moment I'm in the process of replacing my microsd with a 32g class 10 card to speed things up a bit.
Hi guys,
I'm using this bulid for a while now, [25.FEB.11][CWM] RAFDROID HD 3.2|Fastest Full DesHD|DATA2EXT|[Rafpigna 1.7 OC] ,
and I'm sure most of y'all heard about it and maybe you are using it right now!
it is THE best DesireHD build out there,
...
well as it is clear from the title
my question is:
What would happen if I increased the data2ext3 partition to more than 1Gb?
because I love treating my HD2 like an iPhone and installing a lot of apps and I love games too
I have a 16gb class4 sandisk microsd card which turned out to be the most compatible sd with nandroid builds (bought based on your professional recommendations)
it has already a 1gb ext3 partion with 4b cluster size
can I make it more??
and whats the limit and why is there a limit?
THANKS
Grow a pair and just try it. Either it works or it doesn't.
well it kinda works but gives sometimes fc's on sense and phone apps
but I am afraid of any bugs that I as a new user wouldnt notice
and all the developers usually warn us about that
