Guest Svashtar Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hello everyone, i followed the instructions on this site about how to install the MoDaCo custom rom on my HTC Hero. I have done this a month ago and I have to say it was working perfectly. My main reason to use modaco is ability to save the apps to my sd instead of phone storage. For the last month everything was OK and i have installed arround 130 applications. Cache still didn't fill up the phone storage and i had about 25MB free. But, 2 days ago, when I woke up in the morning i saw a low space indicator on my phone, i checked how much i still have and it was like 13MB. I didn't install anything, nothing special happened that i would be aware of. So, i went and deleted almost half of applications as i thought this will release some cache. And it did. I gained like 10MB. Whooh. But, again, this morning, i can see that free space dropped again significantly. I have like 15MB free, which is just annoying. Please help me identify why this is happening, what is eating my internal storage and how to solve this. I'm afraid tomorrow morning i'll be out of space on my phone....maybe there are some hidden people in action :) Thanks for any information or help.

CacheMate (available in the Market) is a good app for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Svashtar Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Clear your caches... CacheMate (available in the Market) is a good app for this. Thanks for your tip, but this doesn't help at all. I tried luck with CacheMate yesterday. I gained around 1MB of storage, even deleted some apps again (so i am now from 130 apps to maybe 50 apps). I had 20MB when i went to bed, in the morning i had 15MB again. Tried CacheMate again - no luck, free space stays at 15MB.... Something weird is going on. Please, if anyone has any idea....

Guest Svashtar Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 This is crazy, it seems like every few hours I loose 1MB. Since 8h in the morning, i already lost additional 2MB, so i now have 13MB. I am not even using the phone. Just left it alone fro few hours. Please help!

Guest Svashtar Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Only 5MB to go...about to fail. Seems like I have no other option than to wipe everything and start from beginning. Sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Svashtar Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Have you rebooted the phone? Mine decreased after this Did it 100 times...didn't help. Nothing helped. I finally decided to start from fresh and make a new install. Wipe and everything. I'll see now how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wipe and everything. I'll see now how it goes. I wouldn't go so far as wiping it. You can check usage in an adb shell with the du command - that will help you find what is taking up so much space. Example: du -h -d1 /data | grep [0-9]M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest volatile_ink Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Have you tried moving the Dalvik Cache to sd? Do a back-up first then try the following: ****************************** *To move Dalvik Cache to the SD Card* ****************************** Boot phone into normal operating mode and execute following: adb shell su busybox df -h - (You should see /system/sd, if so carry on) busybox cp -a /data/dalvik-cache /system/sd/dalvik-cache busybox cp -a /data/data /system/sd/ exit exit --- (REBOOT INTO RECOVERY ROM) --- reboot recovery mount /data rm -rf /data/data ln -s /system/sd/data /data/data rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache ln -s /system/sd/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache reboot (END) Let us know how this goes.
