Root Successful root & low memory

[alasdairsim]

Hey all

I successfully rooted my phone (Wildfire S) by using the guide on this forum - http://androidforums.com/wildfire-s-all-things-root/480954-guide-how-root-wildfire-s-s-finally.html - however I am still suffering from chronically low memory.

I know that this is an issue with the Wildfire in general however it is still a major problem. Before the root I struggled to have 10mb free and now, post root, it never goes above 16mb. I have 21 apps installed (the usual suspects really; Instagram, Twitter, Mail.com Documents to go etc...) and just about all of these - apart from Facebook, Maps - are on my SD card.

Is there anything else I can do which will help to free up some internal memory? I see that my contacts storage is at nearly 8mb however can I move this and run it off the SD card?

This is my first Android mobile so any help or if you can point me in the right direction then that would be great!

Thanks.

Just wondering if anyone had any tips on this?

My memory is now at 1mb & Superuser keeps crashing every time I go to use Link2SD. All my apps are on the SD card apart from, as mentioned above, Facebook etc... however I cleared all the data from the apps stored on the internal memory.

Thanks for the reply.

Actually I found a solution, pretty much what you mentioned, shortly after I asked again.

If anyone is experiencing the same problem then all I needed to do was do a full factory wipe, including deleting all cache's twice, then partition my SD card using this - Best Free Partition Manager Freeware and free partition magic for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista and Windows XP 32 bit & 64 bit. MiniTool Free Partition Manager Software Home Edition. - and then flash this Rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776912

Instructions are all there.

I now have 91mb free of internal memory and a whole host of apps installed plus it is super quick. No doubt there are other good ROM's out there but I would recommend that one.

Finally solved the issue!
