Low Memory message after putting apps on External memory?

[Guest The Equalizer]

Hey Y'all

I have a Desire on Orange.

I debranded, & installed the OTA upgrade to Froyo 2.2 & also installed an app called SDK which seems to allow apps to be installed to SD card by default.

This is great except that I seem to be down to around 15meg of internal memory?

This would lead me to believe that maybe the apps are not going onto the SD card, so I check in the settings\Aplications\Manage Apps & all my apps are showing as on the SD card. If I check each individual program I have the option to move to phone? Which would lead me to think that the app is on my SD card.

I have only kept on the internal memory any apps that requre widgets.

So, what is zapping my internal memory?

Many Thanks

E

The SDK way does not move the app fully on the SD card, its only a partial amount.

Best way is to change to a ROM with A2SD+. I have over 100 apps yet still got 80mb free.

So I guess I'm gonna need to root to put Apps to SD on?

I've not looked into rooting at all as I thought having Froyo on there would be enough.

It seems if i want to have all the space i need, I'll have to Root.

Would you mind pointing me in the direction of the most simpest fool proof one around at the mo.

There are so many ROMs available, I don't know which to go for, or how to go about doing it.

I am a member of XDA Dev, & the amount of ROMs & Root guides is daft.

I would welcome any simple advice or guides.

Cheers
