Hi, a relatively new HTC Desire (and also lowyat forum) user here.
My phone internal memory gets full really easily because some files like Adobe Flash, Skype, Facebook etc must be saved in ineternal memory. Any way to overcome this? sad.gif

have you tried using the Move Apps to SD app?
basically it moves big part of your app's data to SD card,
that will help save your internal memory a bit, and is relatively simple to do smile.gif

there are other ways as well, but it could be quite troublesome, and you might not like it sweat.gif

first you have to root your phone,
then partition your SD card,
then flash a ROM that has A2SD+

if you're still not satisfied with the result of A2SD+ alone,
then, S-Off your phone,
then depending on what ROM you are going to flash (any AOSP ROM, CM7, MIUI, etc),
flash a different system partition that gives larger internal storage,
then flash then ROM you wanted,
if you're on MIUI, you can also apply custom MTD partition.

this will give you literally unlimited space, i.e. I've installed 90+ apps, and still have plenty of space left

I just tried the App to SD app apparently it can't help much.
Seems like I have no choice but to root it. Sounds complicated though sad.gif

Btw, another problem is I can't set caller ID for my contacts. Is it because all my contacts are saved in my sim card? @@

Yeah what phantomash said. Anyway the root guide can be found in the first few pages of this thread. You should port all your contacts to your gmail account, it's very convenient when you reset your phone and just sync it together.

I didn't know I have to import them in since I can still find my contacts -.-||
Er ... I don't know how to port contacts into my gmail account .......

Ok, first, import from SD card.

Then, register your phone with your gmail account.

Enable WiFi/3G and Sync Gmail with contacts.

Go on your gmail account on your phone (web) or PC, log in and check the Contacts list.

If it's filled with the names, then it's all there.

Then you can delete your sim card's numbers if you wish.

You can also avoid seeing double contacts by:

Contacts/Menu hardbutton/View/ Google (numbers)

"Turn off your phone, then boot it into the HBOOT menu by holding power and volume down."
"On your phone, you will have to select HBOOT USB at that menu by pressing volume down four times, then power. Wait until the screen flashes through an “SD Checking” message before pressing buttons; otherwise, the phone will ignore keypresses."

I don't see any HBOOT USB. I only see FASTBOOT RECOVERY CLEAR STORAGE and SIMLOCK. @@


Added on April 4, 2011, 3:03 am7. Plug in your phone into your computer via usb cable.

8. It should automatically locate your phone that is plugged in and you can just follow the prompts to continue.

I still proceed (despite saying I don't see the HBOOT USB) untill I see "Android Bootloader Interface".
Then I plug in my phone and and open unrEVOked thing, the thing doesn't load "Waiting for device. Plug in phone now blah blah blah". I did on the USB debugging thing.

Help! I don't know what went wrong sad.gif


*In case you can't tell, I'm not very good in computers*
