Rooted Nexus, Low on Space warnings constantly?

Hi all,

I have a rooted nexus one with Pauls custom rom r22.

Between maps, twitter, facebook, and flash player, im consistantly getting Low on Space messages and I'm being forced to delete applications. Is there a hack out there to increase the phones actual memory? I feel like whatever its using now is just painfully small in comparison to some of the app sizes out there.

Thanks!

A lot of apps can be moved to the sd card in Froyo without modification. This saves quite a bit of space on the phone. Another option would be to use the old apps2sd method (apps2ext). It is available in the kitchen for r22. It requires you to partition your SD card in a special way, but proves quite useful. I have 85 user applications installed according to Titanium Backup on my Nexus and still have 98MB free.

I've been having problems with this too. There is an application that I've been using called SDMOVE, which will list the applications installed that can be moved to the SD card.

I've found this helpful. I've avoided putting some apps I frequently use on the SD card, but I'm not sure how badly it impacts performance...

With that few apps you really shouldn't be running out of space. Have you checked thoroughly what's taking the space? Contacts usually has the largest data amount if you've got a lot of addresses and numbers and such and those can't be relocated to SD. My contacts take about 15MB or so iirc.

In addition i've got over a hundred apps on the phone itself WITHOUT app2sd. So there's defo something wrong in your situation. Check all your apps and what they say in the DATA-part of the app space usage.

I have. Nothing has a lot of data, i've gone through every app I have, moved anything that can be moved to the SD card, and deleted any data that i didnt think was vital (ie. contacts, stuff like that)

Im ~5mb from the limit still.

Have you tried DiskUsage?
