I hope this is the right section.
I own a Desire. I have a custom ROM ( JB ) and a sd-ext script ( mount2sd. Specifically, I mounted sd-ext/, which is 1gb, as data/ and data/ as sd-ext/. So now my data/ partition is on the sd-ext and all the apps are there ).
Now I have 100 MB free, and I get the low disk space warning, not allowing me to download and install more apps. I suppose this is because I have less than 10% of memory free, but my free memory is still as big as the original data/ folder, or some MB less.
Is there any way to lower the warning treshold to 5% so I won't be able to install apps when the free space will be 50 MB?
Many thanks

Hello everyone, this is my first post on these forums!
I have rooted my HTC Desire, installed a Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 stable version, S-Off-'d, and partitioned the internal memory with AlphaRev CM7 r2 image. So far, everything seems to be working well, however, I noticed something curious after the repartitioning.
In quick system info, the stats are like this:
SD card storage - Total 7.05GB, Free 2.14Gb
A2SD storage - Total 457MB, Free: 140MB
Internal storage - Total 288MB, Free 140MB
System storage - Total 145MB, Free 16,38MB
System cache - Total 288MB, Free 140MB
If the CM7 r2 partition image has 5MB cache, why does the system info display a total of 288MB (same as internal storage)? While I had the stock partition, it displayed the correct 40MB of system cache. Again, it works just fine, but I wish to know what it means.
The second much noobier question is this: I use LauncherPro in CM7, since I like it much better than the ADW launcher. Does LauncherPro perhaps use the same system cache for it's caching? If that's the case, could the 5MB of system cache be too small for it to work correctly? I thought that the 5MB only for system cache was a bit small anyways, but I can't seem to find any faults for now and had no problems downloading very large apps from the Android Market as of yet.
I would be grateful if someone could provide me some answers.
P.S. I should also perhaps mention that I had re-partitioned the internal memory after I backed up my CM7 image with all the apps and settings. After the re-partitioning, I restored my nandbackup.
Nevermind, figured it out.
Hi,
I have a problem with data space.
Therefore I removed those aplications from system folder :
Swype.apk (11 MB) - for czech and many other user useless because of absence their language support
Layar.apk (5MB) ? - useless too - I do not wanna anyone know where I am located
Samsung Apps.apk (5 MB ?) - useless because Samsung GAY policy
Thinkdroid.apk ( 5 MB) ? - I never used , but I wanna install it on sdcard - weird after remove from system, it was not possible to install it - phone rebooted
Ive expected I will have more free space for aplications, but I have not
So I have now :
System : 182.99 MB used, 27.64 MB free
Data : 188.86 MB used , 5.29 MB free
Cache : 792 KB used 32.03 MB free
My goal is ofcourse to have as much as MB free at DATA folder / partition
Is there any EASY way how to make it happen without data loss and most important - without PHONE BRICK ?
so some partition manager ?
I tried already some trick to have 2 partitions on SD and ofcourse, it does not work - it take only 1 or more hours to get 30+ GBs of music, maps etc back to SD
I am not sure if this works for example at Kyrillos 7.0 , but if I have to download something over DATA connection and cant use wi-fi , then this solution is unacceptable
Of course my goal is to have unchanged aplications and their data + I5800XXJPS
My dream is Android 2.3.4 , but I will wait till FM RADIO and other non working stuff will be solved
I found this http://android.modaco.com/topic/331205-guide-how-to-get-more-free-space-for-your-apps/
but it looks too hard and I need more like 128/136 MB for system partition
I am using APP 2 SD Pro and Move2SD Enabler set to EXTERNAL
for example install ANGRY BIRDS is impossible even I have 200 MB free at my 32 GB SDCARD
thanks for your help
Bro, wrong section.
And you have a 32 GB SD card. Then make a 1 GB ext4 partition. Rest 31 GBs you use for songs and all. Kyrillos has apps2sd v2 enabled. Only /data/data/ remains in internal memory. If you don t want that to also, then you can use app2sd v3. It works. All apps that you install will goto ext4 partition of SD.
It may be possible but there is an easier way. If you are low on space for apps, that means that data partition is full, you on the other hand, you deleted apps from system partition so you have more space there. So... go to data/app and move some of your instaled apps from there to system/app. Be sure to leave some free space on system partition, especially if you are going to change themes, then leave 10mb free.
thanks

The 12MB phone storage is what's killing you. In 'Manage Apps' under 'Settings', you can click on each individual app and send some of the larger ones to the SD card. You can also try clearing data for the Facebook app, which can hold a lot of data due to contact photos if you use it.
Just for curiosity's sake, what phone are you using?
Im using HTC Desire.
I understood that due to 12mb phone storage i get Low on space, but i made ext 1gb partition, so shouldnt now phone storage expand and became 12mb+1gb ?
All my apps are on sdcard, and no facebook app.
I made 1gb partition why its not helping ?

It sounds like you don't have apps2sd installed, or that the ext4 partition isn't recognised properly. I remember it was particularly fussy about whether the ext4 part was the first partition in the table or not, I'm not sure if this is still the case
Sent from my HTC Vivid
With previous SD card, There's 12mb free internal storage and 134mb a2sd free, 238 a2sd occupied.
So i really dont understand now :/. This partition is working but not all space in a2sd are used (134mb) free , but also 238 a2sd occupied. So its working, so why i get Low on space :/ .
On new card I made 1gb partition and 0 occupied.
And i cant run restore in titanium backup, because it shows there's no space, but i adjusted to write everything to external storage in titanium backup settings.
Please help, because now i bought a new card and cant use it :/ .
I see what you're trying to do now
The phone will never show that you've added to phone storage, because you can't. Adding an SD partition won't increase your phone storage at all, it just gives you a place to put all your apps so they don't take up your actual phone storage.
There is something on your phone taking up the ~150MB phone storage. It may be contact photos, it may be SMSs/MMSs, it may be camera pictures and videos (if you haven't set the camera to save to SD by default). You've already moved your apps so it's not those. You need to go through all your apps and see how much each is individually using (in 'manage apps').
Pay particular attention to 'contacts storage', 'calendar storage' etc as they are usually the hogs in my experience, and you can't move them. If you sync your Facebook contacts with your phone, the photos and details can easily use over 200MB.
Thank you very much for helping me ).
I understood about memmory usage. Cleaned almost everything in phone memmory, but still 18mb left.
Its just a new SD card and so many problems. Now apps cant find root access, watahell ? My phone was always rooted .
Please someone help to fix problems, i want to use my new SD card.
1. Something happened to root. Titanium gets root rights. I BusyBox installer shows that my phone is rooted, but when i push install busybox it fails .
In titanium backup i press "Problems?" and it offers to updade superuser. I press Update superuser and imedietly get force close.
I really apreciate if someone help me :/ .
Try rooting again. If you're S-OFF already, SuperOneClick will make mincemeat of your Desire in one click (link in my signature)
As soon as something goes wrong with root, you need to have another try at it. If you get an error, post it here and I will help if I can
Hi.
I recently installed on a stock v20g Optimus One, rooted, link2sd.
I've got roughly 100Mb free on the data partition, the sd-ext, an ext2, is filled for 1,26Gb.
However, currently my O1 takes 5 minutes to boot. After it's done, for other 5-6 it keeps telling me the data partition is full, and that I've got to delete applications to reclaim some free space.
After then, link2sd seems to reclaim the empty space, and my data partition becomes empty again.
Is link2sd supposed to perform like that, or there's a method to make it see the correct memory occupation since boot?
Hi, I want to know how much GB's has internal memory(data partition)?
Can someone explain these differencess?
Other apps shows(All/Free GB):
Total Commander, DevCheck, DiskUsage, Link2sd: 50.4/28
Disk Info: 51.4/28
Miui apps:
Files, Settings(Memory), Control Panel(Cleaning): 54.16/30.11
After cleaning nothing changed, after restart +200 MB free.
Twrp shows: 51646/29048 MB
Disk info shows also:
System - 5/2.5, cache - 256/243 MB, cust - 832/498 MB.
Thanks for help.
The capacity in computer science, is a lottery, I would not worry.
Probably you have right:
Miui multiplies & divides by 1000,
Other apps with 1024.
