I noticed something strange when I was looking at my free storage running Android on my HD2.
Android says the internal Storage has 804Mb free space. How is that possible?
Normally I should have a 512mb device!?
I own a German HD2 with TMob Branding, and windows always says after flashing a new Rom and using it a few days, 90mb free space.
Could it be possible, that all HD2's have 1024mb internal Storage, and it can be "unlocked" via software? Like the RAM upgrade?
My configuration is:
HSPL3
Artemis_v370_0407_GER
Darkstone Desire_HD_Beta2
omg.. 1 gb image installed? Sorry to disappoint you, but you're wrong. Tho, I tried other android devices, and I must say, with the hasterin kernel, it's way faster than standard android devices our phone rocks. I tried samsungs and htc's.

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to cook a ROM that is cabable of using your external memory card as extra RAM,(swop memory) for the Hermes 200?
I got the idea from the new Windows Vista operating system using your flash stick as extra swop space/RAM.
Any usefull replies will be appreciated!
Good Question and it has been asked many times before (there are old threads about it). Unfortunately the answer is always NO...
flash to very slow compared to real ram
which is why as pda's starting using flash for stroage
pagepool was made which is really the opposite
from what you ask
as some of the internal ram is used for cache for
the flash
the reasons why it's not possible is
speed
and 2th flash have a limited number of writes
before flash dies kinda like a dvd-rw or cd-rw disk
just more writes then them of cause
but "internal ram" is written to ALOT!
hi eweryone,
i just tried a "RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.0_Radio_15.42.50.09U_2.14.50.04_LEO_1.5_Ship" on my non t-mobile hd2 and guess what: it works.
only thing i got to change is internet connection settings... as i am in three network in uk.
reason why i posted this thred is much more memory awailable for programs i found, like twice more. On stock rom i have around 250mb top.
Now i have: 458.74 total,179.82 used, 278.92MB FREE!!!
anyone got it too?
what does it mean exactly?
how can we use it...?
details:
hspl: 2.08
rom: RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.0_Radio_15.42.50.09U_2.14.50.04_LEO_1.5_Ship
radio: Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14
simlock: factory unlocked.
It's already used in many custom roms.

you talk about ram memory, i'm not...#
quote from post 1 in THIS thread
This ROM contains SPL 3.03 and drivers 3.14 which are working INCORRECTLY with 2.08 HSPL. If you flash this ROM you will get only 70-80mb free RAM after Hard Reset.

ok once again, mabye i understand something incorrectly...
this are what system shows me...:
SD card & phone storage:
device
total storage 177.12MB
used storagr 98.11MB
free storage 79.01MB
total program 458.74MB
used program 168.64MB
free program 290.10MB!!! bare in mind that i have 2.08 hspl
on hardware information tab:
ram size 576MB
so, is that all normal?

graphics chipset takes 128MB for itself, the system gets whats left.
Hello anybody who can help me and other people understanding what we see in applications which show memory info.
I want to understand why "meminfo" shows total RAM 335Mb and Internal phone storage: 420Mb (it is on my phone).
Official info from http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wportal/devworld/phones/phone-overview/xperia-mini-pro?cc=gb&lc=en says it should be the next:
- Internal phone storage: up to 320 MB
- RAM: 512MB !!!
One of my thoughts is that the part of memory is used by video-card
Please explain me why it happens
Some is dedicated to the graphic and some more is reserved from the system. The total is 512, don't worry.

Think of the Android Operating System as a Virtual Machine on your phone. It needs some RAM in order to work.

Can you modify the values besides a VM usage ram ?
No. What you need in order to have more "system memory" which actually is part of the RAM itself is swap. Swap creates a partition on your sd card which then is used by the system to store temporary data. The thing is that its a double edged knife. NAND is 100 times faster than your typical SD card, so loading apps and/or part of the system on your swap partition might end up in a slower overall phone. But we wont have such a problem with our devices, because the system itself doesnt take all that much storage itself.
The only device so far that i know, which had a problem with storage was the Desire Z i own, when you wanted to flash a custom sense 3.0 rom. Then it needed different partitioning in order for the Sense 3.0 to fit into the device.(the device isnt a sense 3.0 device by default).
If you have many apps that you cant seem to fit in the 320mb of free memory, i recommend you install an app2sd application.
hello S3 users,
i wanted to know the memory breakdown of Samsung Galaxy S3.. the internal memory is 16GB.. but what is the application memory? the memory which is allotted for applications?
thanks in advance..
With Ice Cream Sandwich the phone's internal memory should not be more divided into two parts as it happened with Gingerbread or previous versions of android, but it should be completely free to better manage the installation of applications and files that we want to have on our telephone.In Galaxy S3, the internal memory is completely free, then if we use the 16, 32 or 64 GB for all installed applications we can do it! : -)

I have one and even I'm not sure! The phone shows all the memory as if it were one partition (which it possibly is) but says it has 11.35 GB total. If the internal memory and application storage are one partition, I'm curious to know where the rest of the memory is being used.

Not sure I completely understand. Are you saying that the internal storage and application storage are shared under ICS? If so, why does the phone underreport the total size? What uses up the remaining ~4GB?

the rest of the 4GB must be used for the preinstalled system apps and android..
what i wanted to know is what is the memory reserved for applications..
@esist: can you install 'app2sd' application and let me know what memory it shows as application memory? it must show the app memory at the bottom of that application
So if you wipe cache and parition when flash a new ROM it will wipe all internal right?
Install "App Cache Cleaner" (Pro version if possible) & that will show you the exact memory allocated for app installation !! (On using the cleaner it will show you the cache to be freed & total internal memory used as well as free) !!
If you come to know the correct answer please let me know as even i am planning to switch over to GS3 from my present GS2 !!
Hi all,
I've just received my HTC desire x, checking the specs there is written
that the internal memory should be 4GB, but I have just 1GB.
the total space shows 1.09 GB (screenshot attached)
on the HTC website there's written
Total storage: 4 GB, available capacity varies*
and then *Available storage is less due to phone software.
Is it possible that the OS takes 3GB? Seems a bit too much for me...
Any idea?
Thanks all in advance

This is correct man. There is no issue or problem. The system takes ~3gb. Cos imagine when you are factory resetting your phone. The original OS file (called ROM) will reside in that memory with a whole lot of other backup stuff which you cant access.
This is why ppl use CUSTOM ROMS, cos we remove bloatware and other things.
What you see in that screenshot is same as mine and as other. Just buy an external card and it will rock
and please go to about > software update > PRESS CHECK NOW even though "Scheduled Check" is ticked cos there are updates and possibly u have one waiting also.

^ +1.
anyway i cant see why 1gb isnt enough for apps and games. if you have a sd card, it will be more than enough because of the ability to move apps to sd.

Thanks man all doubts vanished now,
does it mean that once rooted (I haven't seen any good rom around yet, please advise if you know any)
I can partition the internal memory? Or it's better not to partition anything for a smoother and faster phone?
Thanks again
Yes 4GB in these mount points:
dev - 303MB
cache - 251MB
data 1,1GB
internal memory (emmc) - 1,1GB
system/942MB
Plus a few more like radio boot and / mount point. It's up around 4GB.
i think you want this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
with that app. you will no longer have to worry about low internal storage again. i use that all the time on my previous phone who has low internal memory (400mb below). but with des x i dont need it. 1gb internal memory are a lot!

Is it possible to reformat partitions? Why not to have internal memory (emmc) - 1,1GB and system/942MB merged? I'm not using emmc, cuz I have SDCard for all my stuff, so 1,1 Gb are empty, but I have insufficient space on system.
