I Just reflashed to stock then to 21870 because I realized that I still hate 23xxx builds. I don't think he included opera 10 in his 6.5 ROM.

I'm not sure wehre you're looking at your space. When I went to "device information" it says 62MB, but when I got to isntall something on the device it says I have 40MB on my device free, and I KNOW the rom is more than 20MBs, so I would flash back to stock and then flash OMJ Sense again. Even if you flash 28002 with opera 10 you should have AT LEAST 30MB on your device to play with, because I JUST flashed 6.5 and I have 40MB free no matter what "device information" says. It actually has 40MB free.
I don't think you really answered his question. ~60M total memory is most likely what it should show when you are using a manila 2.5 rom. With the diamond we have 256M ROM for storage, the resulting total memory you will see on your device equals '256M - size of unpacked ROM you using' (so if you have 62M total memory being displayed, the ROM was most likely ~194M unpackged). Manila 2.5 ROM's are much bigger than previous ROM's because of all the extra dependencies (I've never made a ROM that was over 130M, now I can't make one under 160M), this is why you are seeing a smaller total memory, and why you don't have nearly as much free space.

So you surely do have more than 62M of total memory, but you only have 62M that you can actually use. If you've ever tried to overwrite a file that was part of the ROM (i.e you didnt add it after flashing), you will see that you do not get back the space of the original file (i.e you can never get that back that space) and the new file will take up space from your 'total displayed memory'. (not just the difference, the entire file size)
