[SOLVED]"phone storage getting low"

[swimon]

Hi,

I run Leedroid HD V3.3.3. (Android 2.3.3), with Data++ so I am S-off have reformatted my NAND memory (CM7 Hboot I think) and 1GB EXT partition on my SD card.

So the point is, I should have more then enough space for apps and stuff. But I keep getting the message "phone is getting low on storage". When I go to "settings ->manage application". I see 267MB used, only 20MB free.

But when I add the apps I have installed, there is no way I have 267MB worth of apps installed...

I already tried clearing cache partition in recovery mode. And also tried to clear browser cache and history.

I searched google and found a lot of people with similar problems, but no real fix anywhere...

Can someone help please?

Grtz

Download diskusage app and check. Your app data is on /data so it is not that hard to fill /data partition on CM7R2. I have roughly 50mb free.

So how can I fix this then?

You can also check via Titanium Backup menu (app usage or sth like this), the best method is changing version of hboot (if Your ROM support other hboot!) or delete items which You don't use, move some apps to SD (if You use ROM in which we can move apps) with APP2SD app

have you read through all of the FAQ for that rom, i found it very useful

it's likely you're running low because of dalvik cache on nand by default, you can move it to sd via a zip from that post. I used to run that rom, had plenty of space with cm7 hboot and dalvik on sd.

You can also check via Titanium Backup menu (app usage or sth like this), the best method is changing version of hboot (if Your ROM support other hboot!) or delete items which You don't use, move some apps to SD (if You use ROM in which we can move apps) with APP2SD app

i agree, deleting unused apps is often the easiest way!

but no, no need to manually 'move to SD' with this rom, keep everything on 'internal', then apps will be moved to the partition by default.

(you can move to sd, but then you're using the FAT32 partition of the card, hence wasting the partition)

Check if you have correctly installed D2SD script.

Probably you have to move dalvik cache to your SD. I have a different Rom but had the same problem, moving dalvik cahce fixed it for me.

thanks for all the replies,

sorry I kinda lost eye of this thread (because it's my brothers phone)

but I will definately try to move the Dalvik to SD, hope that works.

try a rom with amarullz's AD2SDX, like Runnymede AIO - by sebastiaan15

before i only had 15 MB free (had to deleting randomly some apps), now 340MB free (same apps installed).
must by s-off and an CM7r2 HBOOT

Moving Dalvik to Cache with the script from Leedroid's topic worked like a charm,

thanks everyone.

Grtz!
