Root leedroid memory issue

Hi

I am using Leedroid 3.0.8.2 on my Desire since it was released. At first I moved all apps to SD using App2SD whenever it notified me. This resulted in my Desire slowing down especially when updating apps. This became so bad I decided to try again.

Completely reinstalled, cut down on the most used apps only, and no additionsl App2SD this time. So far no performance problems ... only now I get the error that I cannot update Angry Birds to due low memory ...

Basically tis was why I moved to rooting and Leedroid in the first place :-(

What to do? I knw moving to SD will work but it seems like this is sort of a triple memory action causing the slowdown?

any tips?

thx

Not used that rom myself, but do you need to activate the a2sd script?
Sounds like the thing your using is the bad one from the market.
 
I found that all the LeeDroid roms I used were very slow when updating apps. Various 2.x and 3.x versions. Not had the problem since I stopped using them.

As SU says, are you using the rom's upgraded a2sd or the Gingerbread one? The LeeDroid one should not need any manual intervention but does require a partitioned sd card

If you had a partitioned SD you shouldn't have been moving apps to sd manually anyway.

Please be clear what you mean here:

Hi

I did and do use a partinioned SD card. Leedroid still shows my main memory as 148 Meg free after a clean install. On my first try I installed App2SD Pro which is still capable of moving apps to SD, this frees the main memory, but slows the phone down, esspecially the updating proces

at my second try (after a clean install) I just installed the apps I wanted without using App2SD. main memory is faster depleted than before, but less than the original HTC rom was.

But it is still depleted causing the memory error :-(

My understanding of Leedroid (or any ROM with SD partitioning support) was that the normal 148 Meg memory (or so much) was extended with the size of the partition (being 512Meg)

apparently it does not work this way???

thanx for your help, and sorry for not being a native English speaker (or writer in this case)

No thats not how it works. Read root memory faq in my signature.

Also as mentioned, not sure if you have dark tremor a2sd or not, but try the a2sd cachesd commands also in the faq
 
The LeeDroid roms already move as much as they can to the SD card as standard. Cache and app. Memory will still go down so you still can't install every app on the planet and expect it not to fill up - the internal memory will just fill up slower as a smaller proportion of each app is kept there.

Sounds like everything is working fine but you're just excpecting too much from it. Ease back on those apps is the only solution unless you want to re-partition the internal memory : Sense roms can be stripped back a lot to fit into a smaller \system partition, I used to strip all the Sense stuff from Lee's roms as I use Go Launcher and WidgetLocker etc.

I guess you are right, I installed Quick System Info which shows me A2SD 49 free out of 473 and Internal 18 free out of 148 ... The last one is the one which is killing me.

I love my Desire, although I hate the crappy memory design of it :-(

Rooting was already a challenge, repartitioning is a bridge too far

thx for your time

Partitioning is actually pretty easy, the guide here is very good.
I used it myself with no understanding of a virtual machine. Give it a look
