Root HTC Desire rooted-free up storage space?

[JDY]

I know this is a big issue with the desire and I've looked all over the internet for fixes. I've rooted my phone and moved some apps to the sd that I couldnt do before root. I use cachecleaner but I still keeping get less than 15MB storage. I've read about moving the dalvik cache but not sure how you do it or if it can be actually done on the stock HTC sense Android 2.3.3 Rom...? I love this phone but this us a major down fall Any help would be great.

Cheers

Here's how I solved it.

1. Flashed http://alpharev.nl/bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img using Android Flasher
2. Installed http://ftp.bestblog.de/DesireS/gingerbread/RCMixS_v2.0_A2SD_CM7Hboot.zip
3. After installation and booting up, look for MCR Script in the apps drawer. Run the script move dalvik to SD

Started out with internal memory at 20MB with 67 apps installed. After the above, I now have 185MB of internal memory.

No regrets with RCMixHD CM7 version. Very stable.

@JDY - you need a custom ROM that supports a2sd+, just rooting the stock ROM doesn't get you access to this feature. You'll need to partition your SD card first - Gparted recommended - see SU's guide on setting up VMware to do this if on a Win PC.

Then if you want a ROM close to stock but with a2sd+ good place to start is flash Teppic's GB ROM

Thanks

Froyo Apps2SD only moves part of the app to the SD and it's not the most efficient way of freeing up space. Gingerbread uses more or less the same method but slightly more refined so there isn't too much difference.
If you want something similar to Stock and free space for apps, I'd flash Teppic74's Sense Gingerbread ROM as it has apps2SD+ script (which you will have to flash separately) which can be found here. This should give you ample room for a good amount of user apps.
dalvik cache can be moved to SD card but not in every case. My experience with this is using the Redux rom and I have over 70mb free with approx 70 user apps (in conjunction with apps2SD+).

Good luck

Ok thanks for the advice. Think im going to use this ROM: GingerBurst ROM

Looks pretty stock with a few nice extras.
