Goldcard and Flashing

[Guest jfran]

Hi

I purchased the desire from 3 which fortunately was unlocked and seemingly with network modifications.

Unrooted the device with an ordinary formatted FAT32 2GB card, however the memory on the device is only 40MB after installing Flashing a MCR and a few apps but choose against a2sd at present ...

Android System

Real Calc

Bluetooth File Transfer

Docs to go

Es File Explorer

Astro & Root Explorer

SMS Backup Restore

Skype Beta

Quick Settings

My question is should I have used a Goldcard instead, and would that have had any effect on the remaining memory?

Thanks

The Goldcard has nothing to do with the disk usage. There could possibly be some cache files that are taking up some space. Does MCR r1 create any cache files that could be taking up space?

Did a Nand Backup of Google essential apps, Those files and the Dalvik Cache are the only cache files found. There is also a Lost+found and Recovery Folder, however those are empty

I think this is a general problem for everyone. I am now on the rootedupdate.zip and having the same problem. I tried MCR r1, and it had the same issue for me. And not only is it already low after flashing, but keeps dropping without me installing new apps or anything. :S

Try doing a full wipe and install r2 - you should have at least 100MB free memory for apps - I had 115 after flashing r2 (without any of the optional additions, without new radio, no a2sd, some sense widgets/apps removed - but those I removed should eat 5MB max).

edit: I rooted with the r4 rooting guide.

I just did. Flashed r2 with a2sd+, and had around 135 mb free after restoring apps. Now, for some reason, it's down to around 90... found out that clearing dolpin hd cache gives around 7 mb back, but i still lost around 40 mb's and counting... i also rooted with r4.
