After writing this thread I sat down with Link2SD and wrote a tutorial for it. It is in the All Things Root sticky. What is eating all of your memory is your dalvik-cache. I suggest removing unused or little used apps.

Old post:
Before I rooted my phone I had 17-20megs of internal memory available. I rooted and moved 15-25megs of programs from the internal to SD card.

Before I moved any program I did a force stop, cleared my cache and deleted data. Once that was done I moved them all over. I figured once it was all done I'd have 40 megs or so available... Wrong, I had 26 megs. So I did a reboot, hoping there were some errant files that would get cleaned on the boot... Now I have 15 megs available.

I uninstalled the Google map updates which brought me back up to 26 megs. What am I doing wrong? How can I clear the memory so I don't have to delete text messages every time I get a new one?
 
I'm also having memory issues. Phone rooted, 8GB Adata c6 sd, everything movable to sd either APP2SD'ed or Link2SD'ed, cache cleared, Exhibit 4G usb driver installed. Maps, music, media, recordings are stored in SD.

When phone connected to pc (win7) i get
CARD 4.68GB free of 7.69GB
PHONE 101MB free of 1.61GB

in APP2SD Pro i get
Total: 1.07GB Avail: 827.78MB << this is phone storage

when select ON SD CARD tab i get
Total: 1.62GB Avail: 102.56MB

i removed SD card from the phone, tried with external usb reader, get
4.28GB free of 7.69GB

in APPLICATION MANAGER
253MB used 840MB free << phone
On SD card 1.5GB used 121MB free

I'm confused. Never partitioned sd card or phone memory, don't think rooting does anything like that. Any ideas?

ps - i don't text, no sms stored in my phone or sd.
 
Thats ok. My only concern is that you get the most accurate advice and info for your phone.
 
Hi I have a LG Hub (E510) and my case is very similar to Guest 2011
phone has been rooted,
moved all that can be moved with Link2SD,
and my internal memory is 133MB used vs 26MB free.
Any hint?
 
I have Optimus V. Rooted, overclockd to 806. Backside ROM. Completely happy with everything,.other than the low internal storage. I've moved everyting to sd. Still stay between 13-18 free. Sucks. Now the interesting (to me) part. Poking around on google, I found an article on xda forums instructing how to move the internal memory to a second partition on the sd card. Unfortunately, doesn't work for custom roms. Does anyone have any info on how to do this with custom ROM?

Have you read through mine or Benslgdroid's tutorials for Link2SD? I'm guessing all of your library files aren't linked. I no longer use the app (or the Optimus V) and my memory is fuzzy about the options.

I thought only Samsung splits internal memory like in exhibit 2. I'm actually considering an LG for my next phone. I'm done with Samsung. Not sure if it's the Android 2.3.x thing or manufacturers think it's convenient to cripple phones like that. I haven't looked into other custom roms yet.

The LG Optimus Elite has split internal memory. 889.77mb and 1.93gb. I like this much better.
 
I really don't want to spoil this "every phone model discussion", but, I think I need to point out something very important:
This is the All Things Root sub-forum for the Optimus V.
Any discussion should be centered around and about the Optimus V

All members with phone models other than the Optimus V need to ask their questions in the forum for their phone model.

You will get the best advice for your phone model there as the members of those forums are more knowledgeable about their specific phone.

It also will allow new members with you problem's and phone models to be able research and possible fix their problem based on what was done to fix your problems. They wont think to look in here.

Thank you for your Understanding on this matter.
For those with a phone who's forum doesn't have a whole lot of members to answer your questions: Just PM me and I'll see what we can do.
