Solutions to DX's insufficient internal storage problem

Hi guys,

I've had my Desire X for some time now and I like it for its small form factor and design. However, I don't like that I constantly get the "Insufficient storage" message when trying to install new apps or update the ones I already have installed. When I go to Settings -> Storage, I have 2.74GB out of 2.90GB occupied in the App Storage and 2.21MB out of 1.10GB occupied in in the Phone Storage. I know App Storage is what counts when instlling new apps. When I used the Disk Usage app to check what's taking up space in the App Storage I saw that the File manager app's data takes up 208MB - what's up with that?

Anyway, I have some ideas how to battle the low storage problem in general:

a) Installing the debranded stock ROM as I now have some bloatware from T-Mobile which is taking up some space. Will this help? How much space will I be able to save this way? Should I choose the deodexed version or the regular one?

b) Installing a custom ROM with an even smaller footprint - is there a custom ROM that can be considered "working", meaning you can get it to perform all the things the stock ROM does without much hassle? I think there's no official build of CM for Desire X - is that bad news? I don't really care about new features and I don't want to spend too much time jumping between ROMs or fixing stuff that doesn't work.

c) Changing the partition table to shrink the Phone Storage partition and enlarge the App Storage partition. As I said almost the whole of my Phone Storage partition is unused. A procedure of doing this with Kindle Fire is described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1388996 . Do you think this would work for Desire X? Has anyone tried it? What are the caveats?

I think the abovementioned solutions are arranged in the order from easiest to hardest and, at the same time, from least to most benefitting in terms of space. Do you agree?

Maybe there's another recommended solution?

thanks,

I suppose you already tried to move some of your apps data to SD-card? Settings/app/move.
[HTC Desire X] ledres:
I've moved everything I could from internal storage to phone storage, is that what you mean?

[HTC Desire X] ashifashraf5:
Hello there. I perfectly understand your situation cause I'm an Dx user myself. I am a temp root user. The way I make some free space for me is as follows.

Initially I deleted the bloatware and odex files of selected system apps.

The next thing I did was to select the non movable apps from /data/app and moved it to /system/app.

That way I was able to delete the old version of that app and its odex files from stock and replace it with the new Apk. ( for example facebook and gmail apps). That way some space can be saved for appstorage.

You have to note that every app would not work in /system/app folder. I am searching for the reason for that at the moment. Since I'm a temp root user, its the only choice I've got. But if you are a s-off user you have several other options too. You can refer my thread for knowing which apps that I've tried to use as system apps are failed.

Do I have a paper-weight ?

Hello friends,

My mom's Desire X (T328e) stopped working a few days ago and doesn't turn back on. It has no BL unlock, no root, nothing, just the stock phone. I charged it the whole night thinking its a battery drain but the orange light stays on and doesn't turn green. I bought a new battery and charged it all night but still the same, doesn't start and orange light stays on when charging. I've tried the following:

Power button + volume down

Removing the battery for a while and reinserting

Took to the service centre even though its out of warranty but they couldn't fix it claiming they don't have the parts.

The PC doesn't recognise the phone anymore, the only thing lighting up is the orange LED when plugged into charge.

Anything else that can be done ? :confused:

Do you think it would be possible to port CyanogenMod 11 to this device? The LG Optimus L7 II has very similar specs and also a CM11 ROM on its XDA forum. I've downloaded the source and started going about changing it for protou, but how much work do you think I'd need to do to write a kernel that boots?

If you have the knowledge of porting and stuff you can ofcourse try and help building the community.

We also have some testers in here if you need contact them for help.

Any help from you side will be appreciated.

If you can port that'd be great. All the best. :good:

Also there are a few more devices, like you can look into Huawei Ascend y300 and g510 both with identical hardware to DX. ;)

How to backup apps data?

Hello XDA community,

I am new to the HTC Desire X community (not the phone, I have it since June 2013) and now that I found out that I never rooted my phone or installed a custom rom I feel like I'm missing something. I have a rooted Huawei U8350 with Clockworkmod and an unofficial CM7, so I'm not new to flashing stuff.

For flashing recovery and stuff, I choosed WinDroid, because it's easy to use, it reminds me the way I rooted my u8350 with Superoneclick. But since I can't use Titanium Backup and the bootloader unlock resets the whole phone's internal memory, how can I save my precious data (the 2.90 GB one, not the 1.10 GB)??

edit: WinDroid is crashing so I will use the good old way. Hope it will work fine
[HTC Desire X] CurtisMJ:
From Android 4 and up you can use the ADB Backup utility to backup both apks and their data on a non-rooted phone. Titanium Backup can read and restore these as well, making it easier to transfer to a new phone. The typical backup command is:

adb backup -apk -all -nosystem -f C:\backup.ab

The operation will take a long time, generates one huge backup file and has very little to indicate progress, but it's something. You can also encrypt it. :p
[HTC Desire X] JustElisha:
Thanks, I'll try it. :)

edit: that was faster than I thought. I'm now ready to unlock the full potential of my HTC. And if it happens to turn badly, I don't really care because I was planning on buying a new Android phone.

Get Volume Wake for HTC Desire X

Hello XDA community,

the Powerbutton on my HTC Desire X isn't working properly anymore, so I would like to implement Volume Wake in my system. First I tried several apps, but then I had to recharge my phone really often, because all the apps keep the display active in the background.

So I rooted the phone and tried to change some buttons in the keylayout. But it wasn't possible to wake the phone from deep sleep with any other button than the Powerbutton.

The next idea was to follow this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2157902), but it says that I need ATIS122's TWEAKED KERNEL, but I think this Kernel is only for ICS.

So I don't know what to do. Can I just flash another Kernel and then follow the instructions to get Volume Wake? But which Kernel should I choose?

Some details about the configuration of my phone:

- Stock Rom 2.20.401.6_odexed

- Android version JB 4.1.1

- HTC Sense 4+

- Kernel version 3.4.0-g2b619a5

- TWRP recovery

I really hope, that you could give me some advice what to do, beacause I really like my phone and the only problem ist the Powerbutton...

If you need any further information please let me know.

System files deleted (?) can't boot.... :(

My teenage daughter has managed to do something that means my old (rooted) Desire X can be connected to her laptop and will charge but doesn't boot - the screen just stays blank.

When questioned it appears that some 'applications' were deleted !! :(

(the last problem was an inadvertent 'restore to factory settings'...)

I suspect that these will have been system apps as the phone had been rooted, I can't seem to get into standard recovery so am looking for advice.

Or is time to chuck it?

The laptop bleeps when connected to the phone and the power/charge light is on the phone, but that is it.....

Help would be appreciated as this was always a reliable and decent handset.

Many thanks

Seems to me like you have got a hardwareproblem if your simcard isn't recognized. Never heared that it could be a softwareproblem.

Did you try another SIM card? Same problem?

Try Google (again :eek:) find an answer like this:

"I did some research that suggested wedging some paper in there. I did and it worked like a charm. What you want to do is be sure the paper is on top of the SIM so that the pressure is pressing down. If that fixes the problem, then you know that it's your hardware"

S-ON RH seems a bit strange. How did you unlock your phone? Is there any text above this textline in your bootloader?

Installed App Shortcuts

Hello all,

I have a question & I'm sure you guys will know the answer :p

When I download new apps from the Play Store, it automatically creates shortcuts on my home screen (or on a secondary home screen if it's full) after the app has been downloaded & installed.

I find this very annoying because I have my own structure for shortcuts, folders etc., so after the install I have to go and remove all the newly created shortcuts..

Is there an option somewhere for this that I can turn off ?

My DX is running on the stock rom.

Thanks !
[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
In Play Store settings just uncheck auto-add wigdets option.
[HTC Desire X] kvmacabre:
thanks nlooooo, if I had spent as much time trying to look for the answer myself than I did posting my question, I would have been there already, for some reason I assumed there was no easy solution instead of looking for it first.. talk about being lazy ;)

In the mean time, I have another question:

I'm in an office building where there is a WiFi network that connects directly to the internet, which can be used to bypass the proxy server restrictions on the LAN.

The SSID is not being broadcasted, so the network needs to be added manually.

When I do this on my DX (stock rom), I have 4 different choices for the network security:

- None

- WEP

- WPA/WPA2 PSK

- 802.1x EAP

I can connect to this WiFi network with my laptop without issues, with the security settings set to WPA-Personal / TKIP.

But I am unable to configure the network security settings correctly on my phone and thus it will not connect.

Any ideas ?

PS: I do not have rights/access to change settings on the WiFi AP itself.
[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
It should be WPA/WPA2 PSK.

However it also depends on wifi protocol type. DesX supports 802.11 b/g/n but the router could be 'a' or 'ac' or some other protocol type.

XXX being the region.

I would have posted this in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2113587 but with my post count I am not allowed. Mayve someone here can help me instead.

I've recently installed the Half Sense mod on my Desire X, works nice, except for one thing, Exchange. The stock android application does not work at all, I can't setup the account. But installing back the Sense mail app makes it so that I can indeed setup the Exchange account. However, there it stops. I can send mail via the exchange account, but it will not sync. I cannot read my mail, check my calender et all. it simply claims "no mail". If I check in the accounts section it states "Sync is currently experiencing prblems. It will be back shortly". I can, in the browser, use webmail, and that is the same URL and IP.

Reverting back to stock HTC Sense does not solve the problem. And the xPirt rom has the same issue I believe.

Setting up the Exchange account on a different phone, ie, my girlfriends identical HTC Desire, only not rooted or modded, works perfectly again. So I do believe it has something to do with the phone itself.

How do I go about fixing this issue?
