Help! Cant install any more apps - Optimus One, P500, V General

My app2sd space is 348mb, but my phone memory left is 18mb.
How to increase my phone memory? I have installed aCCleaner, i thought it solved my problems. But no, it only free 488kb of my phone memory.
Any more ideas?

From ADB shell or a terminal emulator installed in your phone:
Code:
$ su
# a2sd install
# a2sd cachesd
# a2sd align
From time to time, the command
Code:
# a2sd resetcache
should free some space on your a2sd partition. This operation takes some time to complete and restarts your phone.

What happens after i type that in the terminal emulator? Should i backup my sd card or anything first?
Cause ive already installed terminal emulator and im ready. But i just want to know...

No, backup is not necessary.
The first a2sd command makes sure a2sd is active. If it wasn't, will move your applications to the ext partition and free phone memory. If it already is, it doesn't do anything.
The second command moves the cache to the ext partition, also freeing phone memory.
The third command zip aligns the installed applications.
The resetcache operation is not necessary now, only in the future when you observe the free space decreasing even though you didn't install many new apps. The cache grows over time, and the reset operation deletes it and creates it again, making it smaller.
I performed all these commands on my phone just before writing here and everything was OK, so I am confident they will work for you too if a2sd is installed properly.

My only suggestion is for you to uninstall an application to make room for the emulator. Mine for an example is 1.46 MB. So try removing a game or anything else that uses a fair amount of storage. You can get it back once you solve the free space problem.
I have never used ADB, so I can't assist you with that alternative.

I wonder if any of the wipes from the recovery menu could be helpful here... Before reinstalling the ROM you can practically try anything. So how about booting into recovery and wiping "/cache"? I think the cache will be rebuilt anyway...

Does wiping cache through custom recovery is the same with wiping cache using and typing the command in the terminal emulator?
If it is, then i just wipe my cache through custom recovery? Cause i cant install and uninstall any apps! My phone memory has dropped from 18mb to 4mb. And i cant receive a text message.
Add: some of my apps are gone too, e.g. angry birds and so on. And after wiping the cache my apps that gone will be back right?
Hmm im panic! Lol

No, they are not the same. But since you're out of options, I think you should do it anyway - wiping the cache from the recovery menu, that is.
I'm sorry I am the only one trying to help you. I myself am in the process of reinstalling my phone right now (switching from void #echo to LOL 1.4.2).
Also, don't panic. Backup any important data first. What I told you to do won't brick your phone, so there's nothing you should be afraid of.
