Running out of room - Touch CDMA Android Development

My phone constantly tells me it's running out of room. I used to be able to have 10+ apps, but I now only have 4 and it still gives me the message sometimes. I've slowly had to keep removing apps as it keeps appearing even though I remove apps.
I have no documents, no music, no videos, etc. on the phone. My four apps total less than 4MB.
What the hell is wrong? Is there a way to "clean up" the phone?

what build are you running?

myn's latest release.

have you tried cleaning out your cache? A lot of people said web browsing alone would start eating up space. look in the recommended apps thread for recommendations

Yes, look for the app "CacheMate" in the market or online. It will clear all cache and speed up/clean up your phone. Also, if you ever find yourself running out of room because of so many apps (not really the case here, though) I strongly recommend doing system on NAND and data on SDCard Partition (ext2 partition). You can set an ext2 partition on your card from within android on the terminal. I reallly like it because you can have like 500mb for data, rather than the 128mb or whatever is available on our phones. Let me know if you'd like instructions or help with CacheMate or setting up a data partition.

Thanks guys.
I found a TON of downloaded .apk files from the market in /cache so I deleted them and I'm good to go.

Hey, can you please let me know how I can set up a data on an ext2 partition. I have a 1gb ext2 partition but and changed the boot menu to "data on ext2 partition" but when I check the Internal Phone Storage in settings, it shows a low MB free and not the around 1GB like I thought. You mentioned something about the terminal... thanks

Ok, first try choosing the option "Data on SDcard partition" that is the option you want. If you choose "Data on ext2 Img" it will do it on your fat32 partition of your memory card. Let me know if you need more guidance.

Ah, that's what I was missing, I didn't know I was suppose to choose the "data on SDcard partition" although it makes total sense now.
The weird thing is my card was originally partitioned like this:
6.5GB FAT32
1.0GB ext2
32MB linux-swap
It didn't work and kept telling me that there wasn't enough room. I deleted the 32MB linux-swap and combined the partitions to:
6.5GB FAT32
1.xGB ext2
and it told me that it couldn't find any ext2 SD partition so I finally formatted it like this just for the heck of it:
6.5GB FAT32
32MB linux-swap
1.0GB ext2
and it worked! I've read a lot of stuff on app2sd and they always stated to format the SDcard like how I had it originally. Oh well, thanks for the help.

Yeah, i just had to reformat mine to 1: fat32 2: swap 3: ext2, if swap and ext2 were flipped then it tried to use the swap part as an ext2 part

It's because the installer is hardcoded to look for the 2nd part for system and 3rd for data. So if you only have two partitions, it won't let you put data there.
As far as the internal phone storage - I think it shows the remaining space on the system partition, not the data partition.

Interesting... the installer doesn't care what file system is there, it reformats it anyway if you 'wipe data.'
Code:
elif [ $RM_dataloc -eq 1 ] ; then
if [ $RM_wipedataforsys = "yes" ] ; then
/bin/mke2fs -F /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 > /dev/null
So could you set it up with 4 parts, fat, ext2, ext2, swap? I've never used swap...

no idea, I only ever set up fat32 ext2 swap, never needed a second swap partition

How do I make an ext2 partition and can I transfer data to it without reinstalling?
What is a swap partition? Do I need one?

[Solved] Wipe "ext" partition

an ext2 or ext3 partition is a linux partition where apps2sd files are stored. If you don't have Apps2SD you don't have an ext partition ;-)
If you don't have Apps2SD, and you don't know what an ext partition is (which more than likely means you don't have one) why would you need to wipe it? Anyway, LucidREM's script does this for you.

This is the GScript I use to clear the EXT partition, however when you do it within Android and oyu use Apps2SD, it will cause the mobile to reboot. Better off running it in the recovery mode or something.

Re partition Question.

i am currently runnning HERO ROM , if i back Up my sd card and re partition my sd card for 96MB linux swap , do i have to re flash the rom over ?
also im doing this because i hear runninq a 96MB linux swap , makes the Hero rom run smoother nd faster , any truth to this before i re partition ?
also any inputs?
thnx
96 from what i hear is good but starts to lag after a while. also if you just re-partition the linux-swap then you shouldn't have to flash the rom, but if you do ext3 as well then you should re-flash the rom
i vee been reading and relize i have to try a couple of settings , question bro if i repartion the linux swap dont i have to re partition everything else as well ?

it depends on how big your current ext3 and linux-swap partitions are.
if the ext3 partition is between 500 and 600mb then you should not have to touch the fat32 partition. what i would recommend doing though (do this once and it will give the ability to easily try out different sizes for linux-swap)
in recovery console in cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image. use this formula for your partition sizes
total size of card=xx linux-swap=96mb ext3=500mb (thats what recommend by most everyone)
xx-96=y
y-500=z
substitute the actual numbers in for the variables in below
back up anything on your sdcard that you do not want to lose!!!
Code:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print (look for the number by disk size /dev/block/mmcblk0)
rm 1
rm 2 (if it exists)
rm 3 (if it exists)
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 z
mkpartfs primary ext2 z y
mkpartfs primary linux-swap y xx
quit
upgrade_fs
ums_enable (while plugged to computer will mount sdcard, now put rom on phone)
ums_disable (will unmount sdcard)
reboot recovery
now you can wipe and flash your rom
whenever you want to change the size of your linux-swap to something less then 96mb. again this in the recovery console
x=some number in previous linux-swap boundaries (can be start point)
y=some number in previous linux-swap boundaries (can be end point)
Code:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
resize 3 x y
quit
reboot
there you go.
in case you are wondering, yes i like math

Sudo-App2SD (IE: How to install /DATA to SD Card EXT2 Partition)

For those of us who want more space but want to use Myn's Warm Donut, here is how you install your data into the SD card Ext2 Partition.
First you must have your SD card formatted correctly, If you wish to format it a different way then use the following partition layout:
1: Fat32
2: Swap
3: Ext2 (512mb recomended)
You have to have all 3, otherwise it may not work.
Pro's
- More space
- Can still mount the card through the phone on the computer
- easy to switch between NAND and haret.exe
Con's
- Slower Access
- Can't remove the SD card
Required
- Micro SD card, obviously, any size.
- ADB Shell or if your VERY persistant you can do formatting all through the terminal on the phone
- Basic knowledge on how to use your computer, phone, and adb, i'm not here to hold your hand
FORMATTING
*WARNING*
BACK UP ALL DATA ON SD CARD, THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING ON IT.
Here's how to access adb shell and such http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5544939&postcount=568
If you want to do it through adb with the phone booted or with the on phone console then skip steps 1 & 2, else skip step 2B
1 - Boot into the install console and go into recovery mode
2 - Connect your phone to your computer and go into ADB Shell
2B - Type 'su' [enter]
3 - Type the following
Code:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 [enter]
print [enter]
4 - Find the line that says "Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: xxxxMB". Write this down!
5 - Delete all partitions then check to make sure they were deleted.
Code:
rm 1 [enter]
rm 2 [enter]
print [enter]
6 - Once the SD card is blank, create the primary partition. (This is the amount of space you want for your music, pictures, etc.)
Code:
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 XXXX [enter]
(XXXX = How many MB of storage you would like. Remember to leave 256-512 MB for your app partition, and about 64 MB for swap. You may need to put the number you wrote down for start in place of the zero if you are having trouble.)
7 - Create a swap partition. (Large sizes are unlikely to be useful, try 64MB or so.)
Code:
mkpartfs primary linux-swap XXXX YYYY [enter]
(XXXX = This will be the same XXXX number from step 6)
(YYYY = XXXX + [256 or 512] (or whatever size you want to make this partition)
8 - Create the ext2 (application) partition.
Code:
mkpartfs primary ext2 YYYY ZZZZ [enter]
(YYYY = This will be the same YYYY number from step 7)
(ZZZZ = The end of your SD card (the initial size you wrote in step 6)
9 - Exit parted and reboot then re-enter the install console.
Code:
quit [enter]
INSTALLING DATA
Once you have your card partitioned correctly then do the following to change /data
You must have space on the fat32 partition, 300~mb
1 - If you had the third option selected "( ) Data on Ext2 Data.img" then restore your Data.img to an andboot folder on your sd card.
2 - Load phone into the kernel install console.
3 - Ensure that your current data location is selected.
4 - Select option "5. Backup /data" and hit enter and wait for it to finish with no errors.
5 - Move up and select "( ) Data on SDCard Partition" and hit enter.
6 - Select option "6. Restore /data" and hit enter and wait for it to finish with no errors.
7 - Reboot phone and check the phone storage in the settings.
8 - Go on an installing spree with the market.
Note:
Formatting instructions taken from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Apps2SD
Nice work man!!!

Right, but the installer will format them for you. You just need partitions. You could use diskpart to create the right structure on a hard disk, but not on a removable disk.
I don't even know where to begin with these instructions. What is "recovery mode"? What is "adb shell"?

thanks. I just did it with the builtin term emu.
I used gparted to create the partitions, and I'm not sure if I did it right.
First I simply resized my existing Fat32 partition. Second, I created a 512MB ext2 partition. Third I created a 64MB ext2 partition.
I'm trying to install Android sys on NAND and data on SD ext2 partition. How will I know if it's using the 512MB ext2 partition instead of the 64MB one?
Also, any reason not to use ext3 or ext4?

The installer looks at the partitions in order, from the 'left' side of the card. system can only go to the 2nd partition and data can only go to the third partition.
we don't have drivers for ext3/4 iirc
So, in gparted it was 6gig Fat32>512 ext2>64 ext2. Does that mean that the data is going onto the 64 MB ext2? Does having sys on NAND even use the 3rd ext2 for swap file?

[ARC][APP2SD] Discontinued App2Sd for Xperia Arc-Updated

App2Sd for Xperia Arc​
Thanks to DooMLoRD for his Kernel.
Thanks to tkirton for his script.
Description:
App2sd has many advantages.App2sd is set on boot so it does not like link2sd.It will also work for Launcher,widget etc...because it set on boot.First it will move all Application from Internal Storage to EXT3.Then your Installing application will install on EXT3.So no more "Not enough space in Internal Storage." to install a apps.
Requirement:
Unlocked Bootloader
Custom Kernel from here
Installation:
Recommended:
Note:First create a EXT3 partition in your sdcard using partition tool.Click here for more info.
1.Download and copy to sdcard.
2.Install it via Recovery.
3.Factory reset your phone(Settings->Privacy->Factory Data Reset)
If you want to keep your previous application:
1.Download and copy to sdcard.
2.Install it via Recovery.
3.Connect your phone to ADB and type as below:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
a2sd reinstall
Restart your device.
It will show a black screen after SE logo(Don't know why).
Remove battery and restart.
It will work.
You can see all application under /sd-ext/app.
FAQ:
Want to Move Dalvik cache files to the ext3:
Code:

Don't forgot to click some ads in my page.
Sounds nice, thank you.
But one (hopefully not dumb) question: What exactly does it do? Is it possible to really move every app from internal to external memory?
Hehe, been working on this a full day now. Even got parted and other binaries to do all the above from a terminal or adb shell, couldnt find upgrade_fs though to make ext3/4. Thanks for the guide, gonna follow the steps.
@bmwbasti
First it will move all Application from Internal Storage to EXT3.
Then your Installing application will install on EXT3.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, what benefit does it take?
assuming that will give the phone more spaces???
@babygau
Internal storage is ~200MB.
So you can install application upto 200MB.
By this you can install more.
For Example:
If your EXT3 part is 500MB means,you can install application upto 500MB.
We can move apps to sd natively can't we? And if we need more space, we can partition the sd with fat32 and ext2/ext3/fat32 and install link2sd without the need for new kernel. That's how I did with mine.
Am I missing something here? Thanks!
Nice work! Just, how can I install it via recovery? Can't find a guide anywhere...
EDIT: Boot into fastboot (EDIT+POWER). I did it without USB attached, don't know if it works with USB attached.
Question: Does the extra space actually show up under applications? Mine doesn't. Or maybe I made a partition mistake? I made 2 partitions on the SD: 6GB EXT3 (primary) and 10GB FAT32 (primary). I also tried it with a smaller 1GB EXT3 partition and later an 1GB EXT2 partition. In all cases I get a black screen after "SONY ERICSSON" (in letters, not the logo). The next restart it starts normal but without the extra space on the internal disk. I don't get it
You partition is correct.
I recommend 1GB for EXT3 is enough.
Did you installed custom kernel from http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1172885 ?
First install it.
Then go to recovery by pressing the back button while power on the mobile.
In the recovery,Go to install zip form sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard ->a2sd.zip
Thanks for your help but that is not the problem I think. What I did exactly:
-flash generic global
-flash doomlord kernel v2 (will try v3)
-startup and attach with usb mass storage
-format as 15GB FAT32 + 1 GB EXT3 (official SE SD card)
-copy zip to FAT32 partition
-restart in recovery and install zip via menu (no errors and 3 mounts which sounds logical)
-restart and now reset factory default in the Android privacy menu without formatting the SD-card.
-after the automatic restart I get a black screen after "Sony Ericsson" for at least an hour. Then I pulled the battery and restarted, now it's fine but no extra space and a 1GB smaller SD-card (which is ok). Strange...
It's working.
Go to /sd-ext using root explorer you will see three folder.
Go to app folder you will see all apps.

Indeed it goes down a little for some apps but slowly. Before I had like 30MB of space left, now 150mb+ and I use around 400MB/1GB of the new disk. Works like a charm. Next time I will make a disk of 500MB whcih is enough for me.

apps2sd has many advantages, for starters, you cannot move, widgets, live wallpapers, and apps you wish to sync from /data/app/ or they will not work, with apps2sd cause the ext partition is mounted on boot these can now all be stored on the SD card, also some other apps cannot be moved from /data/app/ without apps2sd, another advantage is apps2sd can move the dalvik cache from /data/ to the SD-EXT, My DC is nearly 150mb
@Evil_Sephiroth @bassie112
Yeah it will decrease due to Dalvik cache.
If you like move Dalvik cache to sd-ext.
App2sd have many advantage as said by AndroHero.

I could really use some help solving my A2SD+ problem

For the life of me, I CANNOT get A2SD to work properly.
ROM: MIUI 1.9.16
SD Card: 16GB w/ 1GB EXT4 partition
Problem:
When I do a fresh install of MIUI (wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe data/factory reset) A2SD+ in settings->system->storage says available and used are "0.00B".
If I use dark tremor a2sd install scripts, they 'claim' to have activated the space. It appears space is used on it too (around 100mb, despite previous wipe of all data which says it wipes SD-EXT). When new apps install they east away at my meager "internal" storage (IE: 20mb remaining) and my programs area says I ahve a total of something like 200mb of storage (shouldn't this change to over 1GB because of the partition?!).
As of right now I've restored my previous install, which says "0.00B" for A2SD+, and I have a 1GB EXT4 partition sitting here doing nothing.
a2sd is auto on MIUI after flash/reboot--shouldn't need to run scripts--but you can
try reformatting sdcard outside of phone and with sdformatter, then partition it as ext3 0 swap
ext4 never worked quite right for me
then fresh install with system/data/cache wipes 3 times each
Thanks for the reply. What's with this common habit of wiping 3 times? Doesn't wiping just unlink all the inodes from the partition table, then mark the sectors as free space anyways?
Anyway, MIUI at flash point never picks up this partition. I will try changing it to EXT3 and seeing what happens.
I am not a tech, but I think the phone doesn't do thorough job. That's why I format outside phone. Don't know for sure on System wipe, but most peolple recommend 3 or more times on data/caches.
I have been using these methods for quite awhile now and have much fewer flash issues between roms. Thanks to Temasek on his Format zips--------
ken
Well would you look at that. Fresh flash of the ROM with an EXT3 partition and it works! Didn't have to flash any DT zip. Thanks!
EDIT:
After using MIUI backup to restore my apps and stuff, I'm already out of space. My sd-ext isn't being used! how do I fix this?!
Your Welcome--
Sorry for double post, but I spoke too soon. A2SD still doesn't appear to be working correctly. I've attached a few screenshots to help show what I'm talking about. Titanium backup doesn't see the space (I don't think) either. It appears MIUI sees the space available... but doesn't use it. I just did an a2sd zipalign, followed by a a2sd cachesd to move the dalvik cache to the SD card which helped my space woes a bit, but my a2sd partition seems to be completely unused, other than the dalvik cache!
I can't view your thumbs, get error on page. May be my work computer
Had that happen once and a2sd was doing its thing, just not showing in Root Explorer as ext being used
Do you have any low mem warnings
You could try Quick System from market and see what it says
Your A2SD is working fine. As you can see, you have >100 MB of apps installed on it (0.94GB SD-EXT partition size, 832MB free). The reason you still see your internal memory being used is - 1) Dalvik-cache is still on the internal memory, 2) App data is still on internal memory. You can change that in A2SD GUI settings. If it tells you that Dalvik is already on SD - it's lying, the app isn't too correct, the script is much more correct. You can run the script to move Dalvik to SD in that case.
And the integration of A2SD isn't system-wide - actually, the system has no idea that A2SD is present, and doesn't report anything else for its partition sizes but the original sizes.
Jack_R1, after a random soft reset occurred, titanium now shows the a2sd. Thanks for clearing some of the information up for me.
