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)
Here's a question... I notice a lot of time that when I install a program it reduces the available "Storage" memory" rather than "Program" memory, why is that? I currently have 47Mb free "storage" and 89Mb free "program" and would rather have post flash stuff install there of course (btw, currently of a manila 2.1 rom for now, but been going back and forthe). Is there a way to make things install in "program" memory as opposed to "storage" memory?

I tried about 3 or 4 or these programs a few months back and they each had pro's and con's and were buggy. I just yesterday checked again and there had of course been some more recent updates. Here is the one i put on yesterday. It's lite and seems to be functioning bug free for two days..
