Hi,
I was messing around in clockwork mod and created a partition and assigned a 256 meg swap file, my problem is how do I get rid of this partition and get my 256 meg of ram back from the swap file. In settings its only showing 718 meg of ram now.
Many thanks in advance.
Tony
Not sure how to get rid of the swap, but the 718 is standard because there is already RAM reserved for the system that you can't see, the so that's why it says only 718.

I am sure this question has been asked somewhere in this forum, trust me I have searched alot before posting this question here, the only reason that I am asking this question because there are so many threads and so many pages to it. I am confused like anything.
i installed wm2005 after a long long time.
installed Rom Version : 2.01a00
when i click on memory it shows 120 and storage shows 14 something mb's
my device is XDA II, which as far as i know has 128 + 32 for rom + 32 for storage (please correct me if am wrong)
is there a way to increase 14mb storage ?
when i install Ramdisk i get 64mb more, where does that come from ?
when i install extended rom unlocker i get another chunk of mb, dont remember the size. where does all this come from ? the 128 mb i mentioned above, or is this hidden and the mentioned tools make it available ? and how can 14mb storage be increased for program installations.
a quick response would really be appreciated.
jeetz..
ramdisk is ram and is taken from the 128MB application ram

Hi guys,
This is my first thread in here so I apologize in advance for the noob question.
Ok, like the topic says I have completely run out of space on the phones rom. I keep getting the memory warning pop-up followed by the red SD card graphic.
My phone is rooted and all my apps were moved on the SD Card through Titanium Backup. I have even removed a few bloatware programs.
I have only 50 mb left and no apps will update unless they're a small file size. All I keep getting is the stupid red triangle.
Anything I can do to clear some space?
I have read the countless threads about the memory issues on this phone, but nothing was really specifically mentioned with my problem.
Thanks again for the help!

In Titanium Backup clear the Davilik (sp) cache on the phone that may free up some space. After removing a bunch of bloat and moving things to the card I freed up 40 or so megs internally to give me 133 free right now.
The author of this is correct.
I experienced it last night. I removed some apps and cleared some space.
It's ridiculous. The warning only starts when you have less than 50mb of space left. I tried to install a 700kb app and it failed.... Insufficient space.
REALLY? What is the 50mb for then? Swap?
Thanks guys for the response!
I have tried clearing the Dalvik Cache but there isn't anything to clear.
It has me stumpted. When I bought the phone I had a little more space available. Now, even with every app on the sd card, and bloat ware deleted, I'm out of space. Odd as hell.
What does everyone have for available space? I'm at 40.5 mb right now.

After zero-byte-ing the two fota files and moving a lot of stuff user-installed apps to the SD card using the pm setInstallLocation trick, I'm at 214/514 MB used, with 301 MB free (stock ROM).
Ok, so far for an update:
I've downloaded aCCleaner attempting to clean up some cache. Before the clean I had 45.8 mb free. After the clean I had 46.8 mb free. 1 whoping mb was cleared. So, it cannot be program cache hogging up my precious mb's.
I'm running out of ideas.
To the user above, I have all my programs installed on the SD card already. It doesn't seem like that 0 trick does anything other than allow the apps to be installed on an SD card without root access. So it wouldn't be beneficial to me
I'm still confused about this. Technically, with all my apps on the SD card and program cache cleared, shouldn't my available mb's be very similar to stock levels? Granted the only thing taking up space should be text messages and my gmail in boxes.
WTF. Frustrating. Tired of looking at the red triangles and red sd card.

I dunno how the heck you don't have anymore memory left. But if your really wanted to get that space back. I suggest using Odin and flashing aloneinshadow's Deodexed KB5 Enhanced v2.0 OR download the "fota.zip and extract the files and use root explorer and moving the 2 files and replacing the 2 fota files in the data/fota directory. You'll get about 300mb back.
Here's the link to the fota.zip file and also the TAR for flashing the stock ROM minus the bloat. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12153961&postcount=1
You can also reinstall the bloatware you want afterwards.
Here is the guide on how to use Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
Yeah man idk what you're doing.. the fota trick leaves me with 379mb of free space...

Sweet! Thanks!
I'm going to have to try that fota trick. Before I do that I'm going to try to explore the main directory and make sure all the programs are in fact on the SD card.

I just flashed to the custom rom listed above (worked perfect), also put fota files in /data/fota on sd card. After all is said and done, I lost TouchWiz, (which I love) and my memory is still at 53 mb! It kept all my apps and data, which I was surprised... but I did this only to free up internal memory. Did I do anything wrong or any guesses as to why my memory is still so low? Thans.
Got TouchWiz back (just had to choose that default instead of launcher duh) and now memory has gone up to 109 mb free, which is better, but still I was looking for 200+...
Here is my newest issue- two things I absolutely loved on the S4G were Program Monitor and Task Manager. Both are now gone (must have gone away with the bloatware). In Titanium Backup the two (along with all the other bloatware) are listed, but with a line through them. There is no way to restore these backups with lines through them. My second thought was to simply reinstall the apk, but when I do this all the phone says is 'Application Cannot Be Installed'. Any ideas on how to get these back? Thanks.

New rom being posted. V2.1. Has those 2 apps back plus extra and bugfixes.
Update:
I did the fota mod and WOW! Went from 33.1 mb to 290 mb!!
Amazing.
So, what does the fota files do anyway? Anyone know?

Hi,
After installing official ICS Rom from RUU I just have about 33 MB Free (of 575 total MB) on my /system partition...Is it the same for you???
It seems to me that with stock GB rom there was lot of more Free space...

Do you mean Internal storage? Or RAM?
My DS with GB 2.3.5:
Internal storage:
454MB used / 702MB free
Total 1156 MB
RAM:
246MB used / 281MB free
Total 527 MB
Don't know where is the remaning RAM (it should be total 768 MB of RAM)
i got 698MB free space on internal storage,218MB free RAM after installed official ICS rom and some apps.
Neither RAM (which is tot 768 MB) nor /data storage partition (which is about tot 1200 MB, where system install user data and applications)...
I intended /system partition (which is a storage of about 575 MB tot, where is installed the rom with all system apps).
You can see it via recovery or installing software like titanium backup or similar....

OK, sure, the new update (with ICS and Sense3.6) should be larger (bigger) in size than the old one (GB, Sense 3.0).
And in any case, this will not affect your system usage and performance, because the system itself and the user cannot use this free space to install app etc...
Hi, as anyone knows the moto g hasn't a slot for micro sd card.
I have a 16 gb version of G and it's about 12,92 gb available. Let's say it's 13 gb.
I cleaned some apps** from /system/app and system/priv-app.
**useless apps for me (Motocare etc), old apps that has a new .apk in /data (youtube, fmplayer etc).
And now I got 411 mb of free space in /system section. (And I think I can increase a little free space in /system if I'll deodex apps)
And I got 639 mb of free space in /cache section.
My question is can we take this free space and give it into /data? What for we need so huge /cache section?
For example can I keep ~20 mb in /system and ~50 mb in /cache and take the rest 980 mb and give it to /data? And it'll be about 14 gb of available storage.
I never did that. I know that it's not easy to do and while I'll be doing this I can lose all data. But anyway I will appreciated to everybody who will help me with this. May be you did the same on a previous phone, may be there is some guide or somebody already have done this on moto G.
EDIT: and what is /dev section and why it's so big and not using ?
XDA Thread - MTD Custom Partition Sizes​
The /dev directory is required by Android I believe. Feel free to remove it and report back what happens.

I doubt that this .zip files are compatible with the moto. I'm actually waiting for some adb commands that allows me to create a new partition sizes
EDIT: and I don't know why sizes are different from this screen and the screen in the 1st post

Hi Guys,
After a lot of trials and errors I finally succeeded in restarting my device. My current os is android V4.0.4.
My Tablet is GT-P6810. Tab is rooted.
I have been struggling with low memory messages and problems ever since I can remember. That was the reason I started installing custom stocks in the first place.
Now I am trying to find a solution to this low memory problem.
The first hurdle is to find out which memory is the problem.
On the forum they are always talking about low RAM, and the fact that Ram is only about 819MB. However, when I check my memory with 'link2sd' I get the following data:
Intern: 72 % free - tot: 12.96 GB, used 3.57 GB, Free: 9.39 GB
SD-card:72 % free - tot: 12.96 GB, used 3.57 GB, Free: 9.39 GB
SD-card second partition 'not found' (which is logical since I haven't made one yet)
System: 10% free: Tot: 819 MB, Used: 729 MB, Free 89.64 MB
Cache: 97% free, Tot 197 MB, Used: 4.15 MB, Free: 193MB
Also see the screendump attached.
Internal and SD are the same. This seems logical since Samsung is clearly stating that the internal memory is simulated (by using part of the SD-card.
All the programs are talking about is to increase the cache. My cache however is still 97% free. So no problem there, and I do not need to increase my Cache.
However, System memory is very low. I presume that what most people are talking about is actually the system memory. If I am correct, that is the one I should be increasing. :crying:
I must point out that I recently checked my P1000 device and that has a systems memory of 1.5 GB. Imagine. And a device like the P6810 only has 819 MB !!!???
The P1000 has been running for several years now with a multitude of programs, and being used by myself, my wife and my daughter with no problems what so ever (except the ones I created myself). :silly:
Finally my question: Does anyone know of a method to increase not the cache but the system memory from 819 MB to let's say 2 GB ?
I would be ever so grateful. Finally I would be able to use my device the way it was meant to.
ps: I have tried the roehsoft 'memoryInfo & Swapfile Check, and my device is not suited for the roehsoft app.
To expand partitions you will need pit file for your device, then make a copy of it and use a pit file editor to shrink partition after the system partition, then add remaning value to system.. then flash pit with heimdall or odin.

Beste,
I have been looking now for quite a while, but could not find any further information thath could help me do the things you suggested.
Would you be able to give any more tips ?
sorry dude, don't have windows, so I can't help out directly, how far did you get?
did you get the pit file and editor?
