Storage space low...?

heydjbobby74 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-23-2009, 11:33 AM

I am getting this message on my Hero- Phone storage space is getting low. I have downloaded quite a few apps, so I could uninstall them to get some space back, but, I was wondering if there a way to store my apps I download on my storage card??

You should grab the Fresh .05 it has the Apps2sd feature which will allow you to install your apps to your card

I had this error on my phone a couple of days ago when pushing some files, but I actually went and looked (Settings > SD Card and Phone Storage > Available space at bottom of screen) and I had 90mb free. I rebooted the phone and the error went away.

I currently have 137mb free on Fresh .05. I would say that the average size app is about 1mb. You would have to have well over 100 apps installed to actually be running out of space because of it.

Yes I do use bluetooth, I have the RF-MAB2 by RocketFish. I love it by the way. I only had about 15 apps loaded, and took them all off. I deleted all my text messages, and I delted my cache and history. I still only have about 13mb of free storage... I do NOT want to have to hard reset my phone. I spoke with both Sprint and HTC tech support today and their only conclusion was to Hard reset the device....stupid...How do I fix a BT leak if I have one? How do I know if I have one??? please help

First things first, you are going to need to download these files.

flashrec -- http://zenthought.org/system/files/a...20091107-2.apk

Amon RA Recover Image 1.2.3 -- http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/2/...roc-v1.2.3.img

Fresh .05 Rom http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=96913

Do not extract the Rom zip file, it needs to stay in the zip.

Ok, lets do this in steps, should make it easier:

Step 1: Mount the sd card and place all the files downloaded onto the root of the sdcard.

Step 2: Download some sort of file manager, ex Estrongs File Manager, and run/open the flashrec apk.

Step 3: Once it's finished installing, unplug the usb cable, run the app, and hit the button, "backup recovery image". If you get an error, try rebooting your phone, make sure the usb cable is unplugged.

Step 4: Exit app, and mount the sd card again, and move recovery-backup.img to your desktop, then rename recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img to recovery-backup.img

Step 5: Unmount sdcard, unplug usb cable, and go back into the flashrec app(should be named recovery flasher in all programs list)

Step 6: hit restore backup image. Once finished flashing, power down phone.

Step 7: After you power down your phone, hold the Vol Down button, then hold down the power button. Phone should boot into hboot. Press home for recovery.

Step 8: To ensure you have a backup of your phone before we continue, do a nandroid v2.2 backup.

Step 9: After the nandroid backup is complete, you can now choose apply "sd card update choose", and choose the Fresh rom

Step 10: Reboot your phone and you should be all set.

If it fails Start over by first rebooting then starting over
