[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Volknochi:
Okay, I've had to reinstall Fresh ROM 2.4.0, and decided to keep track of my phone's internal storage as I went through my "cleaning up" process. And, I've noticed something odd. Why is it that my "internal storage available" drops when I remove things?

I kept a log to show what I'm talking about:

HERO with stock Fresh 2.4.0 ROM

93.47 MB

After Nand backup

93.35 MB

After removing some shortcuts off Home Screen

93.34 MB

After deselecting all Location/Background data options

93.32 MB

After powering off and starting up again

93.28 MB

After changing Lock Screen and Home Screen background

93.26 MB

After setting Background Data and reboot

93.36 MB

After Nand backup

92.33 MB

Removed some unneeded apps **

92.21 MB

Nand backup then reboot

92.18 MB

Moved one Nand backup from SDcard and reboot

92.16 MB

** I can't list what apps I removed, CMD prompt seems to have a limit on all commands it stores on screen, but I can provide what apps/programs I still have on my phone:

# su
su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cd /system/app

So, why would my internal phone storage, that is available, be lower than stock which has more "bloatware" in it? :confused:
