Checked this before, I only see available space!
Can I increase the size for the /data folder?
Root explorer reports 465MB total for that folder.
ROM has various partitions:
system (353 MB) + data (466 MB) + cache (112 MB)
add them all up and its ~1GB

thanks for the method
missed your posts when I rechecked with root explorer and edited my post!
and to answer my own question, I guess installing app to SD is the way.
Have u ever tried the Archive function in SystemPanel?

Ok so I am gonna make an easy guide. But befor i start i will say the requirements
Requirements
1.Rooted
2.Busybox installed(v19.4 reccomended)
4.Card reader
So here we are.
1.Download MiniTool Partition
2.Remove the sd-card from phone and put it in a card reader and plug in pc.
4.Select only important files like Pictures, Music , Titanium and clockworkmod backups and all that important stuff for you
5.Copy them to a folder in computer.
6.Install MiniToolPartition and open it.
7.You will see your hard drives and your sd card.
8. Right click on sd card and click delete. Then again right click and Create.
9.Select "File System:" FAT when you have 2GB or smaller card.
Select "File System:" FAT32 when you have 4GB or greater card.
10.Dont select the whole volume. Select for example if you have 4GB card select 3GB if you want your sd-ext to be 1GB
11.When you are done.Again right click on the sd card and create ext2 or ext3 partition.Then select the full volume allwoed.
12.Make sure that this volume is enough for all apps on your phone.
13.Whn you are done click on the apply button on the top left corner. Wait for it to finish. When you are done. Copy teh prevously backed up data to the card.
14.Put it on the phone and on the market download Link2SD
15.Run the app and it will ask for root.Then select your tipe of partition. tehn reboot.
16.After reboot go to the app and you can mult iselect your apps with the options menu. Then in actions.Click Create link. Then ok.
17.You are done. Now you have a cleaner sd and initial storage
FAQ:
Q:What is sd-ext partition.
A: Its a tipe of partiton than linux supports so Android can use it as an initial memory.
Q:Why i dont see more space when i go to Apps in phones settings
A:The phone cant display sd-ext partiton. you can view it via Link2SD.(Otions>Storage info)

i have a question
what is the point of having this sdext partition? almost every app can by installed on sdcard :/
i have all my apps on phone memory and i have still over 130MB free, when i get close to fill up memory i will move apps to sd with android app manager built in.
You can moove all apps and its data on teh sd-ext partiton. That way you have 300mb free on inital and android still recognizes the apps as on initial.So widgets work

but why would i have 300mb free? isnt it supposed to be used? like if u have 300$ and just looking at it and not spend it if it was ram that we could use for more smooth gaming then i would do it, but flash memory free laying unused?

I've done some research, but haven't found what I'm looking for. To cope with the memory limitation of my phone, I move some apps to Rom with titanium explorer. Does the rom use the rom partition free space for something? Writting cache, and so on? I have a Xperia J and a X10 mini pro, and they both have around 20 Mb of free space on the ROM. Is it ok? Is there a "safe threshold"?
Thanks

ROM is actually installed on /system partition, and by default its mounted as R/O (Read-Only). So cache won't be written inside /system partition and it will be stored in phone's internal memory. The ROM free space remains free like that which is unused space.

Thanks for you answers. Coolsandie actually answered what I really wanted to know: as system partition is a read-only partition, it doesnt write anything to it, so i can add apps to it as long as there's free space. Thanks

You can't increase ram or internel storage.
But you can create ext partition and link apps there via link2SD
And you may try to use swap partition if you want.

Man. it is so easy.
Just create a small ext3 partition to link your apps there.
You need your SD card to be fat primary partition ( except some MBs to be ext3 partition. )
Use mini tool partition wizard or do it from the recovery which will be easier for you.
and swap is not so important , set it to zero if you want.
27gb fat32 1gb for ext2.. Fast as hell and heaven.. I got 270-300++ internal memory.. 200mb ram.. Feel like trying swap but i scared my sd dead.. Hoho

Hmmm....you need to make 3 partition for your SD card if you want to use swap.....
First partition is FAT32 (must be primary) this partition is for your main storage....
Second partition is ext2,ext3 or ext 4 (must be primary) this partition is for install apps that link using link2SD or Mount2SD....
Third partition is Linux Swap....this partition is for swap (increase ram/performances)
Now all partition size you will make is depend on how you want it....basically 256mb for linux swap is enough but 512mb is recommended is you have SD sizes 16GB and above....for second partition 1GB is enough for installing apps....if you planing to install plenty of apps then 2GB is recommended only if you SD sizes is 16GB and above....for the first partition is what sizes left after your make all partition needed....
remember Swap will not be available right after you have partition is....you need swap scripts to make is available....

Nope.....you SD need to be formatted if you want to add other partition...beside adding partition means that your main partition (FAT32) sizes will be reduces...

Of course you can increase ram performance by increasing swap and can increase your internal storage by partitioning your sd card, but might decrease the read or write speed of your system as sd card is not as fast as internal memory of your phone
For detailed information just google around

hope can help u
first SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH . lol
im never login this account since 2 years ago.
to increase phone memory u can use application "LINK2SD" but, before u use it, i recommend u to make additional partition with ext2/4.
to increase ram maybe u can use with virtual ram. It not give big differents but for games it would be better.
i have MANUAL step to increase virtual memory ( such as adding secondary ram)
1. Download swap file ww*w.media*fire.c*om/?7pszmgi85sucuuc. Remove * . The password is "crescendo"
2. Extract it so from 800kb will be 800mb eace
3. Choose 1 from 3 files size for swap that u want ( up to you )
4. Copy file to /sdcard
5. U can type on "Terminal Emulator"
for example im using with 256mb size :
- to turned on swap
su
swapON sdcard/swap256
- to turned off swap
su
swapOFF sdcard/swap256
-) the green number can be changed and adjust it with size u want.
sorry if u dnt undestand. i cnt speak english well. lol
