[Q] question about internal memory

---

hey guys so finally I was able to move most of my apps to the storage card as I had only less than 40 mb left on the internal storage,

I used the adb method that was posted on this forum, know that i have over 140 apps installed, I kept on purpose the IGO and 4 other apps on the internal memory which take about 50 mb by. But besides that I moved all the other apps to the storage card. The weird thing is that I am now left with about 115 mb out of a total 380 mb from the internal storage.


What is taking the remaining memory from the internal storage?

You'll still have some space taken up by the apps you left on for widgets etc, and the ones that went to the sd leave a few kb's behind.

The rest is all bloatware my friend, timescape, what's app and all the other sh*t they won't let you uninstall.

Also cache from most programs.

Sent from my R800i using XDA App

yes whats app, timescape, postcard, the sims 3, tetris, playnow etc are some culprits, i cant wait for root to remove this bloat i dont need.

Annoying really.
The SIMS. I hate the SIMS.
Postcard ? Really ??
What's App, 1 year free sub then can't uninstall if you don't pay.
Testris ? In 2011 ??

No thanks, I'd rather have the memory... Oh, I can't !

The adb method will only use the SD Card? or it is the same as moving the app to the SD CARD (Some part of the app will still be on the memory?)

if SD Card only please add the link on how to do it ..


Thanks a lot..

The 380MB you're talking about is actually the available RAM size (from a total of 512MB). The storage space for installed apps resides in the NAND flash which has a total of 400MB free.

The RAM size will reduce as more background tasks are running, i.e. you kept opening apps and didn't close them properly.

The NAND flash storage space will reduce as you install more and more apps, but many apps are able to offload their data files to the SDcard.
