Low memory problem - HTC ChaCha

Hi people! I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, I searched but couldn't find the topic about that. If there is one, please direct me there. Thanks!
So, my friend has a ChaCha, and she gets the low memory msg all the time. She can't install anything, only having ~80MB of space taken (when calculated) although the phone says that more than 130MB is taken. She can't open Gtalk or Gmail - the phone is slower than imaginable! We wiped the cash from the Apps Settings, checked and everything possible is on the SD card, but still... The phone is not rooted nor anything.
Thanks in advance!

Link2sd app
Be carrefull !!

But the phone itself offers the option of installing a part of the app on sdcard - why then the link2sd? Can it be that the phone alone isn't doing the job properly?

Link2sd is one option. When you use native a2sd (built in) it doesn't move everything on sd, just part of application. The best way is too flash one of many custom roms that have ability to install scripts that will move all apps to ext partition. CM mods support those scripts (IMO the best one to use is CronMod Script - D2EXT and INT2EXT (+)), there are also many stock based custom roms that has dta2sd preinstalled.
Of course you need to be rooted and you need to partition your sd-card in order to do that.
Regards

didije, can you please tell me how to root your phone and install this partition thingy onto the SD CARD without losing the stock rom? I like sense widgets and the stock rom very much!

After you unlock the bootloader flash recovery and to root it install this zip though recovery.
On a stock rom (stock kernel) you can only use apps such as link2sd. And there are many threads on partitioning sd-card, just google it. The easiest way is to partition from advanced menu in clockwork recovery but I am not sure if partitioning through clockworkmod recovery works with link2sd.

Any solution for Low Internal Space?

Heyy Everyone,
I am running CM9 ROM on my HTC Chacha,is there any solution for low internal memory?Can i install apps directly to Extsd instead of Internal memory,please anyone help me..it's really Annoying
Wrong section. This is a question for General. And yes, there is. You can also find solutions in the CM9 thread (I wrote one of them).
Where is that tutorial and does it apply to HTC Chacha?

It's not a tutorial, but basically amounts to install Link2SD.
I myself use D2EXT from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124
It works nicely. But don't delete dalvik cache with it installed as you will get bootloops. It's not hard to fix, though, but you will need a computer and adb installed. So just don't delete the dalvik cache and you will be fine.
To install it, you will need to partition your SD card and create an ext4 partition. You will lose everything on your SD, so make a backup first.
Use the guide on the link I posted . You will need a fast SD card.
And next time use the general forum.
Good luck.

Installed link2sd but still intermal memory is full

Hi friends, i installed LINK2SD with two partitions on sd-card and linked all apps (except go launcher, evernote, applock, link2sd, free2sms)
but my internal memory is only 39% free.
If i try to install any more apps(linked) , internal memory getting filled and becoming very very slow.
My phone is galaxy ACE-5830 (2.3.4) -Stock ROM
Does linking the app to sd card moves the apk+data ?
Im posting screenshot also.
plz help me guys
There are many roms that does not support proper sd-ext service like odexed roms .. I think you should go for app2sd after flashing darktemor beta 4.
common
It's a common error.

a108b - Unlocked, Rooted, Running Stock ROM HELP!

Android Version: 2.3.5 Gingerbread
Software Number: 1.57.862.2
Anyone else have this model that can tell me what to do about freeing up internal space on the Stock ROM?
I've tried several of the things in this forum on the stock ROM with no success: Factory Data Reset (the apps don't re-populate for me), Link2SD...says it "can't mount" and gives me an error...Titanium Back-up works as far as moving some apps that I couldn't before to SD, but most of there .dex and temporary files still are posted to the internal memory. I do have a Root Explorer where I can go in and delete unnecessary files, but I don't know which ones are unneccessary...does ANYONE have ANY tips on how to save on memory. There's got to be some EXPERTS around here that have had this phone long enough to give some MUCH NEEDED advice. I've heard not syncing the contacts with Google and Facebook save on space? But how do I do that if they're already synced? What do I delete. What apps are out there or what can I install on a root, stock ROM that will benefit in COMPLETELY moving apps and there cache/data to my SD card?
I had 10MB free last night...I wake up this morning and I have 0MB...what is up with that? Where is my space going! Are there any apps that can read where my biggest files are?
Side note: I'd really like to keep this thing on the Stock ROM and not mess with the radios, etc...as it's supposedly a network unlocked phone. If I do flash ROMS will it mess with my default radios? Also where can I find the Stock ROM to flash back to if I do NEED to flash right now in order to save on internal space. I really don't want to lose features like the Facebook button, front-facing camera, etc.
ANY HELP IS EXTREMELY APPRECIATED.
Thanks fellas!

Yea, it didnt work for me..I think it's cause I'm on Stock ROM. Has anyone gotten Darktremor to work on Stock? If so, how?
The only issue that i can remember, is that your rom isnt mounting the ext particion
Im using a stock rom with the darktremor script, but in order to use the script i have to do this
Install the script in recovery
Particion the sd card( fat32 / ext4)
Boot the phone
I have to format the ext particion using a pc software to ext2
Reboot the phone
Use the terminal emulator or a2sdgui in order to use the script
Try this way and tell if it works for you
Sent from my HTC ChaCha A810e using xda premium
Stock boot.img doesn't have init.d support and therefore dta2sd will not work. You need to edit boot image to add init.d or google how to do it without editing. There is a nice tutorial on xda on how to add init.d support on stock rom without editing the boot.img

Now i plan to install the JaggyRom 4.0.3 on my HTC Explorer. Do you think its a good idea ?
I only have a 2GB SD Card , is there any requirement that i have to convert at least 1GB to ext partition before installing the ROM.
Any other things which you would suggest i take care of before proceeding ?
Thanks a lot
Give link to rom which you wan't to install.
Especially Jaggy 4.0.3 was GB with sense 3.5 I THINK, so you don't need 1gb ext, even 512 will do. If it's ICS with sense 4 you need 1gb ext.
My advice: Don't worry if first time it stucks on white htc screen, if this happens, just try wiping everything again and flash again.
And another thing you can download this http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lim1od8qrjdbblp you flash it before you flash the rom, it wipes everything by it self, I'm not sure how it works with sense 4, but for every athor rom it's fine.

sorry not allowed to post the links yet.

please edit the link
I think i shall try this one now, and once i get the knack of it , i'll buy myself a bigger memory card and try ICS
Please let me know if i should go forward with it.
Thanks for the help .
Uff ya, forgot about links restriction, with this one you don't need more than 512mb of ext. Just don't forget to flash 'wi-fi fix' after install and follow the instructions.
With this one you also can use the 'superwipe.zip' that I've posted in the previous post, instead of wiping everything manually, whichever suits you best.
Also if you wan't you can check out cm9, it's ICS and its stable, for it you don't need 1gb ext partition. Well that's it, have fun

i'll try the JaggyRom and tell you how it goes.
If you want to keep your Rom pure stock then flash the one by immortal_yash with ext support. It's smoother then jaggyrom 4.0.3 for me or you can flash cm9.1 build 14 . It's your choice so try and use the one which is best for you...

1. Make ext3 partition
2. Do not overclock... you can /rather will cause permanent damage
3.you don't need to use internal memory as ram ~if you do, it may reduce life of SD card

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
What i observed was that the phone started restarting after i had run the following command (to enable ext4 to be used as part of internal memory):
Code:
su
m2sd rmount enable
so i again ran
Code:
su
m2sd rmount disable
after which it stopped restarting. Any pointers what could be the reason for this ? I have a 2GB card, not sure which class , but since it came with the phone i believe it should be class 2 or class 4
Type in terminal emulatur 'm2sd status'
It will show what is enabled, answers will come.
And did you used superwipe.zip, or manually wiped everything. And normally it's better ext partition to be ext2 or ext3.

Well have you removed the sd card while the phone was on?.....If thats the case then you may have to reflash the rom....
Also download roms from xda itself because it is posted by the original devs themselves and you get better support.
Consider using jaggy 4.1 by me....

[Q] How to install a custom recovery on SGH-I857??

Hi;
i am a noob in the android world and i need a help
i have a sammsung SGH-I857 with 2.2.2 android version & 2.6.332.9-perf karnel version which is rooted
I want to release the maximum possible space of internal phone memoir because it small (177MO ONLY) 89.30 MB of space it used.
I would move them to the SD card (8GB) or remove them if it's possible ,but I do not know how knowing that my phone has never been changed at the ROM or Kernel or Recovery or anything like that
I also read that before anything i should use a custom recovery and make a backup of my current set up, so in case something gets messed up, i can restore the backup and be as good as new!,then install a ROM that can do what I want if it's possible
the problem is that I can not find how I did lots of research, but I have not found those for SGH-I857
so if you could tel me how ,done please & thank you in advance

First, you need to install Mount2SD or Link2SD, it will link (replace) your apps to SDcard. You can find it Mount2SD here and then you need to partitioning your SDcard first, just follow this instruction and you also get Link2Sd from here. I guess these apps don't need custom ROM or kernel to work. But custom recovery, like CWM or TWRP is necessary needed to do full backup (Nandroid Backup) of your current stock ROM.
Well, for custom recovery you can try ROM Manager (It's free app on Play Store), it will help you to install CWM Recovery. Or you can try TWRP Manager (it's also free app on Play Store) to play with custom recovery by TWRP.
Good Luck.

There is no current custom recovery solution for the Samsung DoubleTime (SGH-I857).
I am however trying to make this exist as well as a whole other ROM option that may allow Gingerbread to be ran on the device. So far the base of operations has been the thread in which Dardour has posted a link to above. That however seems to be broken. So here it is again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580216
