Lots of space -- still get low space icon.

Thanks for this post, btw!

However, I'm still having the issue after the format. I have 312 mb free and still get the low space.

(See attached image)

Also, whenever I run Facebook, it pops up saying "This device is low on freek disk space..." and that it may be unstable, blah blah.

I'm running IceCream Senseless ?.?.? (1.1.1 or maybe 1.0,I'm not really sure now). I'm pretty sure when I installed the rom that it made the 750mb partition. I don't remember installing any other mods other than adrenaline.

Side story: I thought I had ICSenseless 1.0 -- so I tried to update to 1.1.1. Cleared Dalvik, and cache, ran rom. After boot at the home screen a message popped up that said the UID inconsistent, and the "I'm feeling lucky" button (which was a nice addition.) Then I looked up that error on xda -- but decided to just go back to my backup before I installed 1.1.1. I Noted that even in 1.1.1 the low space icon was still there....

Anyway...

Root, yes; s-off, yes.

Did a nandroid backup, then cleared dalvik and cache partitions to see if that would help at all -- no, not really.

I don't think I have EXT4 installed. I ran a query in the console and it didn't come back with anything.

Please let me know if you have any ideas, or if I should post this in IceCream Senseless' thread, or if I should just make a new thread.

Cheers :D

I am not new to Android but I am new to this device. A friend asked me to fix her "Low Memory" problem. Is there a way of fixing it without rooting the phone?

I can and have rooted other phones. She is just not as tech savvy as some and might not understand what I have done.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
There is no way to use this mod without rooting. The only other option would be apps from the market that move your apps to the sdcard. This can slow the apps/phone down however. Your best bet is to root, even if she dosent understand it.
[Droid Incredible General] LA1980:
Phone will not turn on

Everything went well but once I completed the instructions and my phone rebooted it gets stuck on the htc start screen. You can't turn it off and can not boot in the HBOOT mode -help!!

Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
You cant boot to hboot even after pulling the battery?
[Droid Incredible General] LA1980:
I can bring up the HBOOT menu after pulling the battery. I have tried recovery and to reboot using the zip file but no luck. Sorry - I am a bit out of my depth!

Many Thanks

Sam
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Have you tried reflashing recovery? Either thru hboot if your s-off or with fastboot if your unlocked.
[Droid Incredible General] LA1980:
Thanks for your suggestions: I tried to reflash using this guide here at theunlockr.com (cant post link)

When the command line tries to connect to the phone it seems to fail. I tried leaving it on the HBOOT and fastboot menus...
[Droid Incredible General] pharmacist420:
Thanks for the info.

I've got both my parents on Rooted, S-Off DIncs on PagePlus and they are both having the Low Memory Errors. I have them both on the Stock+ ROM and would like to apply this Fix.

Problem is I'm not sure which file to use because the link below to http://dinc.does-it.net/EXT4_Mods/ is broken.

tiny4579 has similar files for download off Goo but they appear to be for AOSP ROMs so not sure if they would apply for my parents phone setup using a Sence based ROM.

http://goo.im/devs/tiny4579/mods

If anyone has any insight or direction I'm all ears.

Thanks for the info!
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
Those ones on tinys goo.im page work with stock. The only difference is a fixed updater script :)
[Droid Incredible General] blahb:
Thanks I'll give it a shot today.
[Droid Incredible General] blahb:
Used the following and everything seemed to work great. Thanks!

Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.v2.0.zip
[Droid Incredible General] larsch31:
Do I have what I need for the fix?

First, thanks to all who have contributed for such a great guide. I am new to rooting, just having acquired 4 Incredibles about three months ago for my family to use on Page Plus through Kitty Wireless. All phones are on GB 2.3.4 and I am using a MacBook Pro running OS 10.8.4. My younger daughter is getting the low on space message, the rest of us have not experienced this yet. I have read through this whole thread but still need some reassurance I have this all right, so I have a few questions.

I have found and downloaded the Unrevoked 3.2.2 for Mac, and have the recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-inc.img and Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.v2.0.zip on my desktop. Are these files correct? Most of the links earlier in the thread are broken, but I was able to search and find these files.

Am I correct in thinking the Unrevoked actually roots the phone, and the other two files then modify the phone's operating system and apply the fix?

Am I correct in assuming the clockwork and data limit files are meant to run on the phone and not my MacBook?

Would I be better off finding a Windows machine to do this, or is a Mac equally good?

Should I try a factory reset before I try this fix to see if that corrects the problem?

Thanks for any replies in advance, the thread is old enough that I want to make sure the fix will still work. These phones have been working well for us, and while they are no longer expensive, I really don't want to brick any of them.
[Droid Incredible General] tekweezle:
before you do anything, you need to have the bootloader unlocked, downgraded to froyo 2.2, rooted and then have CWM recovery installed-from CWM you can flash alternate ROMS and the low space fix. I don;t know if those old methods like unrevoked forever still work. even on the incredibleforum where it originated says it;s been depreciated. HTC did issue some updates that may have rendered them obsolete. since you say you are already on 2.34, it seems like your phones are updated past the point where those methods would work

all the info you need should be in this thread. it;s an involved process but it is worth doing. i looked for an easy 1 click way to root my phones(i have 3) but there was none.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1600904

i did it on a windows xp pc which required some drivers to be installed.

by the way, the easiest way to clear up the low space issue is to delete any excess text messages. more than likely, your daughter saves every text message conversation she has ever gotten or sent. that;s one app that whose data grows over time. another is to move whatever apps that can be to sdcard. of course these are very temporary solutions that have limited lifespan. worse case scenario, you will pass the threshold where your phone can recover free space and become non functional requiring your phone to need a factory reset anyway.
[Droid Incredible General] larsch31:
Thanks- I'll investigate the link and follow your other directions. Looks like easy one step rooting is too good to be true.
[Droid Incredible General] eitucatsuj:
thanks

I really appreciate this
[Droid Incredible General] Brutal_Master:
I am using CM 7.2 and getting the "low space" error (altho i have plenty of space) what file should i use to fix this? My phone is rooted but in terms of hacking the file system I am a complete NOOB so any help is apprecaited! :)
[Droid Incredible General] Qukis:
Hello everybody,

Does "Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip" fix applies to all JellyBean androids or is it only made specifically for HTC Incredibles?

What could possibly go wrong if I try to install it on a diff. phone (it's a Chinese Samsung Galaxy Note II knock-off)?

(BTW, I couldn't make a backup with ROM manager, I selected clockworkmod 2.0 version instead of 3.0+ because my phone wasn't on their list and they prompted me to choose but I'm a n00b and only starting with androids. So it suddenly went black with knocked-dead android, then into recovery mode and I rebooted. I recently rooted my phone (installed SU) and have made a bckp with Online Nandroid, tho.)

Thx for the answers

[Droid Incredible General] tekweezle:
It's only for the HTC Dinc. It was created because we have a unique condition. The storage space for apps and data is by default 149 Mb.

If you are getting low space problem, delete your saved text messages as his is probably the data on your phone that has grown over time.
[Droid Incredible General] Qukis:
Yeah, no, I've cleaned everything i possibly could, it's the apps that are taking up space. However, I don't download new ones but instead keep uninstalling the old ones and after awhile i get the low storage space notification again. It seems to me like the same problem. I have an SD card with at least 20GB of free space and even the phone storage in settings shows up as less than a half used.

Theoretically, would that mod work for my phone if it was the same problem? (Because i have no idea what the original model the Chinese knocked-off was... )
[Droid Incredible General] tekweezle:
You'd be surprised at how much data gets stored by playstore, Facebook, maps, navigation and other apps that are stored on the internal phone memory.

Download app2sd to check. Or disk usage
[Droid Incredible General] Qukis:
Yeah, thanks, I have those apps already, I had my apps transfered already using link2sd.

Disk usage shows 330MB occupied on my phone storage,the rest is free (around 700MB). No junk files,no anything.

Low space,however.

I can't even use some programs already,they're lagging.

Damn, I just don't get it.
[Droid Incredible General] ylzylz:
thanks

thanks for this. faced with the threat of having to buy my wife a new iphone - this resurrected the htc droid incredible and its working well. a few things to note -

1 - the original instructions are a tad dated. i had to hunt around to root the device i got revoked 3.21 after getting the firmware too error (v 2.3.4)

i cant post the link as a brand new but i got revoked 3.21 from a webpage you can find if you google 'HTC Incredible: Firmware Downgrade (Gingerbread)' - its related to a firmware downgrade which i didnt need but had 3.21 which i did.

2 - the zip is now Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.v2.0.zip

thx again.

Has anyone tried installing this on a 4.2.2 rom. I tried it on the tiny cm10.1 and my phone stays stuck on a bootloop. Can anyone please please help me.
[Droid Incredible General] tekweezle:
this works on 4.22 roms. I have it running on Evervolv

if you are rooted(and everyone's incredible should be rooted by now) you can install Titanium backup. It has a feature to move apps forcefully onto SD card. Akso you can convert system apps to user apps. That may help some people with their space problems. Some of the big space eaters with data that grows over tieare apps like email and facebook.

Hey, can someone please point me to the best current link to root Asus TF300T? I have tried finding it but it gets confusing with the updates. I am on Unlocked 4.2

thanx
[Droid Incredible General] Pons:
Well, you're in the completely wrong section. This forum is for the HTC Incredible, and this thread is how to fix it's low on space error. Absolutely nothing to do with rooting the TF300T. That being said, I'll leave your device forum right....about....here: Asus Transformer TF300T. Try asking (and searching) there if you haven't already.
[Droid Incredible General] juanico1000:
Solved in other way

I only have make a Hardreset and that´s all.
[Droid Incredible General] bluefuzz01:
Since this thread is a bit old, can someone tell me if the guide is still accurate?

I have a DInc with the low memory space issue as well as the update that never installs. I'm stuck at build 4.08.605.2. I'd like to root my phone to address both issues.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible General] ardax:
Yes, this guide is still accurate. The thread's old, but so is the phone. :)

IIRC, a few ROMs may have this built in.
[Droid Incredible General] bluefuzz01:
Thanks ardax! I'll look into the ROMs mentioned and see where they are with things. I was mainly worried with a version conflict of some sort.
[Droid Incredible General] SeniorMoment69:
Thanks soniclude and everyone for this information. I am late to the moding of my HTC Incredible. I have one of the last truly unlimited Verizon 3G plans and recently upgraded to Android 4.2.2 Carbon ROM. Found myself running out of storage space and did a search here. Read the first post and since I had already rooted my phone went straight to step 10. Downloaded the mod file and placed it on my SD card. Rebooted into bootloader and installed. Rebooted and I am running happily through an open field...:laugh:

Thanks again for the help.....:good:
[Droid Incredible General] gypsy_bird:
halp meh

Ahoy! I have 1 problem and 1 question...

1) I bought my laptop used and Windows expired on it after like 2 years...so...I can't seem to get the HBOOT dealy...

2) Say I figure #1 out- I uninstalled HTC Sync, should I also temporarily uninstall DropBox?

Thanks!

[Droid Incredible General] Coolguy981:
Did someone tried this with LG G2?

This confuses me: "On your computer, find your phone's SD card. If you're unsure which drive is your SD card, look at how big each drive is. The drive that has a size of 6.59GB is the phone's internal memory, so the other drive is the SD card. The SD card that comes with the Incredible is 1.83GB in size, but yours may be different if you bought your own SD card.

Move "Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip" from your computer to the SD card. Do not put it inside any folders."

LG G2 does not support external memory, so will it work if I place it in internal storage?
[Droid Incredible General] tekweezle:
No this is HTC Droid Incredible specific fix.
[Droid Incredible General] IvanMata:
WiFi and Camera problems =(

Hi!

Is there a way to revert this?

Everything worked just fine for the "low space" alert, but now I can't get the WiFi to access Internet (it connects, but no Internet access).

Besides, camera is Black & White only =S
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Reflash the latest gingertiny kernel, that should fix wifi.
[Droid Incredible General] joeyz400:
I am rooted with s-off and back to 2.3.4 is there any better kernel or radio?
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Well in my opinion latest gingertiny kernel is the best. As for radios, it is really a which ever works best for you type of deal. The radio that works best for me, may not be the one that works best in your area.
[Droid Incredible General] tpayne2345:
thanks a ton! my only hitch was when I ran the Flash clockworkmod recovery, the first time I got "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged command" but after running it again, it worked.. everything else was flawless and no more "Low space" annoyance

:D
[Droid Incredible General] joeyz400:
Thanks cmlusco you have been a great help. I will try the kernel but I have no clue about radio's so I will leave that alone for now.

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

How do you flash your kernels, do you use Kernel Update Utility 0.9? What is the best way to try out a kenel? Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------

I know I am asking a lot but what do you think the best, most stable GINGERBREAD SCENSE Roms?

•IceCream Sense

•TeeROM Rockin' Stock

•Carbonite Fusion

•sic*CENSORED* Sense

•Stock+

•McSense - Gingersense

•Inc Ultimate

•Touch Of Blue

•Stock OTA 4.06.605.2

•Stock GB
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Just find a compatible kernel for your rom, place the zip on your sd and flash thru recovery.

As for roms i have not used all you listed but in my opinion stock+ or touch of blue are stable and fast. They are based off the latest ota, and have several nifty enhancements to make life easier. But really you just have to try them and see what suits you best.
[Droid Incredible General] joeyz400:
do you know if GingerTiny_v2_2.6.35.14_02/25/2012+

is compatible with my ota 2.3.4 rooted s-off?
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Yes it is.
[Droid Incredible General] joeyz400:
thanks a lot
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
so this is awesome. 100%. i think i will try this tonight or tomorrow. i'm sick, ain't nothing better to do;).

questions:

1. so, the Unrevoked directions will work, even though I heard that Unrevoked doesn't work for Gingerbread, 2.3.4? just double checking.

i am currently UNROOTED, and never have been rooted.

2. what happens if i need to unroot? can i use Unrevoked to unroot, and go back to factory? will my phone freak out because all of these apps are in the /data/data partition, then?

thank you again. i usually just clear out my facebook, g+ apps, and texts. this time, nothing works. hopefully this will go seamlessly and i'll be rocking out my incredible like no one's business.
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
oh, and another question. THis problem is only fixed w/ the "Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip," correct? That is a ROM based off of Gingersense, i believe, right? let me know if i'm wrong.

if it is, that means the low storage problem is only fixed w/ that ROM? so, if i load another ROM on, then it wouldn't necessarily be fixed anymore, right?

Being that it's called Gingersense, again, correct me if i'm wrong, it's pretty much like stock Gingerbread, right?

Thanks for the help, guys. Might do this tonight...
[Droid Incredible General] joeyz400:
I did this and all went well then I flashed a new ROM. Do I have to do this again or are my settings the same? Because I tried to do it again to check and when I hit call after ##778# nothing happens now.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
That will stick through rom flashes, but not factory resets or ruu's. If you have to reactivate or do a *228 option 1, then you will have to change it again. Some roms dont play well with ##778#.
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
do i need to uninstall the Android SDK tools, etc? in addition to double twist, pdanet, etc.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Ext4 is a mod not a rom. It only works with sense and miui roms based off of gingerbread. If you flash a new gingerbread based rom, you will also have to flash the ext4 mod again. This is the only way i know of to fix the low space issue, without clearing and deting stuff.
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
hey, do i need to try and get the Low Storage Notification off of my phone before rooting? Unrevoked has a warning that if my phone is not working perfectly, it could ruin phone. just checking.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Not sure if you need to or not, but it wouldnt hurt to just to be on the safe side. Mabey uninstall a couple large games, or clear the cache on your apps, especially facebook, twitter, messaging, email.
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
okay, i'll try that. i can't seem to get it to go away now, deleting A LOT of stuff. still there.

resetting phone, hopefully that'll make it go away.
[Droid Incredible General] joeyz400:
It seems Touch of Blue dosn't play well with ##778# command. Is there a way around this to use my phone as an acess point for free?
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
okay, cleared lots of stuff, the message finally went away.

plugged it in, clicked OK, (it was on the warning message).

then... i get this screen. doesn't seem to be doing anything...

my phone seems to be acting normal, i just sent myself a text, and i heard the notification, and i can interact w/ unrevoked 3.22, like, i can click file, and click open...
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
None of your pics are showing up, but do you have the drivers installed? Is usb debugging on? Make sure and try again.
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
okay, i can upload it now. i ended up just quitting... i have no idea what happened.
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
no drivers installed cuz i am on the mac, so i don't think i needed any, usb debugging on. i wasn't sure what to do, if i could even touch my phone, etc.
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
i think i know what might have happened, unrevoked 3.22 gave me the warning message after i plugged my phone in about the possibility of ruining my phone. it said i could unplug to abort, or i could just click ok and it would start. i unplugged, fixed the low storage notification, THEN plugged it back in, w/ the warning message still up, and pressed OK then. then nothing happened. if i did it in one step, it would probably be okay, i will try again tonight.
[Droid Incredible General] joeyz400:
I guess I don't need that now that I am rooted, I can just learn how to tether.?
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Im not at all familiar with with macs, and am unsure if it needs drivers. But my guess would be it still does. I have seen other threads where people have had trouble rooting with macs, and gave up and found someone willing to them use their windows pc with success.
[Droid Incredible General] joeyz400:
Would there be any benefit in using Universal Adrenaline Shotv14-1 cache scroll tweak with my set up?
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
ROOT! okay, rooted! now... i just have to flash the MOD... tomorrow... thanks for all your help so far, i'll be in touch to let you know how things turn out!

oh, question. so, after I flash this mod, is the rest of my phone going to be okay? or will i have all my apps, homescreen launcher settings, etc, everything, still on my phone?
[Droid Incredible General] SlimSnoopOS:
For Froyo, Macs do not need drivers in order to root the Inc. That's actually how I rooted my phone cuz a friend had a Mac readily available. Rooting GB is different and idk if our 2.3.4 root exploit works on Macs. Scotty1223 only confirmed it working on Windows only right?
