Device storage help.

**KBZL** · #1 (**permalink**) 09-08-2009, 01:40 PM

I am looking for a little device storage help. I cook my own roms but have noticed a heavy decrease in device memory as of late. the last two roms i have built are only showing 74.68 of total device memory with 53.47 in use memory leaving me with only 21.22 left over. I have not added any additional cabs, that is all cooked in items. Is there something I can do to free up space or is this just because im using the Rhodium 2.1 manila? Thanks.

I would recommend doing a total audit of every OEM you are throwing into your ROMs and removing everything that is not absolutely essential. It seems things like manila and the like are getting more bloated as time goes on.

Yeah I have tried that. I dont really use the device memory for saving things anyway but I found the other day that I couldnt receive a picture because it said i was low on memory.

LOL what help? What kitchen are you using exactly? Does it happen with multiple kitchens?

Possibly try flash to shipped>clear storage through menus>hard reset>flash to custom> Hard reset

That seems like it would absolutely murder any freeloaders in your ram

Try using cabs instead of OEMs and installing to the Internal Storage. Can you post which OEMs you put on your phone?

yeah thats like actually about 3 times as many OEMs than i would put in a kitchen. I would file 13 all of these except manila, arcsoft, battery monitor, tachi, album, audio booster/manager, vol. control, opera, jbed, and pshutxp.

A lot of those can be installed via cabs to the storage. Try that and see if it helps your room.
