If you aren't rooted you could try remving a few apps that don't store any details -- games that you dont care about having to reach that level again -- reinstall nfs shift all the way then remove it properly and put your apps back on either that or turn the phone off and back on and see if it purges it out.

Hi,
I have the phone rooted, but I haven´t modified the ROM.

What does this adb rm mean? Looks like a script which must be entered somewhere in command line? I am quite new to hacking my phone . Is there a tutorial to use it?

You need to unmount the sd card (in settings) before downloading it
if you want it for free get it here: http://www.getjar.com/mobile/43600/angry-birds-for-htc-desire/?f=1
it's the final version and the devs have a deal with getjar. but it's only free today. afterwards it will be in the market and i guess you'd have to pay for.
€dit: gave you the wrong info about why it free. the following quote will explain why:
"Angry Birds Android features mobile advertising. A future update will include the option to purchase and opt out of advertisements."

the market version should be free as well.
Yup, it's amazing! Shame I've had no time to play it!! Had to unmount sd card to play too.

It works perfectly, had no issues yet. Get it from the Market though, everytime I tried from getjar it failed.

Thanks man...installed perfectly when I unmounted it.
Just a note to everyone else with an HD2. You don't have to leave it unmounted to PLAY the game, just install it.
I cannot unmount the sd card - it says unmounting and it stays on that until screen turns off and when a wake the screen up it shows sd card mounted and then again I click to unmount and it simply won't do it... how to get this thing unmounted I have no clue - as my installation goes unsuccessful each time...
have full version , works also with dismounting !

Same for me
Didn't need to unmount the SD to install. Simply downloaded it from the market.
It would not install on mine either, but I placed it the androids apps folder before installing new rom and it installs perfect
I absolutely love this game, had to unmount SD card to actually install the game which is annoying but nothing i can't love with! And best of all, its FREE!
Maybe someone helps this too:
I was unable to install it, neither from marked nor directly by .apk nor by putting it in AndroidApps folder. (last one installed, but crashed on start)
But after flashing a newer WinMob ROM (Artemis v37) the game worked like charm )
Love it. Been waiting a long time for the finished version, and finally...
Unmounted the SD-card, installed it, and works perfect. Best game for Android, in my opinion!
if you cant unmount sdcard to play the birds
1.you have to down load the terminal emulator from market place
2.open it and type "su" and press enter. allow super user access to it (mine kept freezing so i backed out and re started it. You will need to type "su" again and a window should pop up )
3. then if anything was done right you should see a "#" sign were your about to type the next line.
4.then type "mkdir /data/sd" make sure there is a space between the mkdir and the first /.
5.if everything worked right then nothing should happen except it moves to a fresh line in the emulator .
if you did everything right you should be able to go into settings and unmount your sdcard from there.
hope this helps some people i was going insane trying to figure this one out took me about a week to figure it out.
I've got it running flawlessly.
At first it kept giving me an error during download/install, but then I remembered the old "unmount sdcard, install app, remount" trick, and it worked
And the game is made in my country! (Finland)

[Q] Deleting Files on internal Memory -R- ????

I have been trying to delete copilot from \system\apps\copilot.apk
It is read only.
I am using the offical 2.2 froyo and have used z4root to root the device and installed android mate as a file manager to try and delete it. Android mate triggers the pop-up telling me it wants root access and i allow it but still cannot delete the dam file.
Its annoying me because the copilot icon is in my applications and extracts and imstalls every time its clicked.
Can someone please tell me how to get rid of this file, preferably without buying applications to do so.
Thankyou
you need to explicitly mount the file system as R/W
no idea if the program
you're using can do that..
you can do it manually in a terminal
su
mount remount,rw /system
or using root file explorer (paid app)
and also IF ROOTED, you can use Titanium Backup and delete the app, and make a backup if you think the app will mess up something.

Yeah they say you learn something new everyday.
A couple of days ago something I installed something (still not sure what) locked my streak in airplane mode, so I restored streak to factory settings & was surprised that it was still rooted after.

Official Froyo-how to install all the apps to SD instead of using the app2sd?

Official Froyo-how to install all the apps to SD instead of using the app2sd?
wildfire internal memory is limited and not all the apps can move to SD for FROYO.
so is that any way to install all the apps to SD ?
Not as far as I know. It requires a custom recovery to be installed, which requires root. There are a few apps in the market though (like Apps 2 SD) which claim to do this, but, I have no idea how they go about it.
Can someone advise how to install directly to sd please? I'm facing the same thing.
any solution?
Directly install apps to SD card.
http://nmobilephones.com/applicatio...tall-applications-to-the-sd-card-by-default-2
Original question of "moving all apps to SD" is impossible now as apps with widgets have to be in Internal Memory.
Unless a dev is able to fool the phone into thinking SD card is internal memory nothing is possible. Unfortunately what devs do these days "make themes". Dailies and Nightlies.

Sorry for making the wrong post. Actually, with the above process, it is possible even to install/move the unsupported apps to sdcard on unrootable wildfire with official froyo (hboot 1.01 + S-ON).
This works without root:
1. Enable debugging on your phone (Settings->Applications->Development->USB Debugging)
2. Connect phone i PC
3. Open Command Prompt (on PC Start->Run type cmd and than Enter)
4. In Command Prompt type: adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2
5. Enter
Thats it!
If you want it back, just type:
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0 instead of step 4.
Works on my NON ROOTED Wildfire wih FroYo!
This will enable you to move all apps (even with gadgets, but than you cant use gadgets) to SD, and also it will install all future apps directly to SD.
Oops, my mistake. The process works great. Even the unsupported apps can be moved/installed to sdcard directly . @ilDuceo thanks a lot for the correction. So, this was there right from the beginning, when wildfire got updated to official froyo. Missed this all these days.
SOME INFO HERE.
Make sure that there are no pc/phone apps which use the usb debugging while doing this process (eg: pdanet). After navigating to the "platform-tools" folder (latest android sdk version), then input the following adb commands (in bold here) of ur choice. Press enter after every command.
--First confirm the connection of adb device with the command adb devices
--This command sets the install location to automatic to be chosen by the app adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0
--This command sets the install location to phone adb shell pm setInstallLocation 1 (but try not to use this, instead use the automatic command)
--This command sets the install location to memory card adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2
NOTE: I have found almost every third party app moved except the present version of "Double Twist Player" (version 1.4.2).
So this will move all future installed apps to the SD? What if I install an app with Widgets? Would I need to reverse the process?

Once u done that process, almost all the past 3rd party apps will show an option to be moved to sdcard. And the future apps will be directly installed to sdcard (no need of moving).
Regarding apps with widgets, i have checked one app "Power AMP Music Player". It will be installed to the memory card and its widget worked fine for me. Havent checked other apps. Make a try.
And i have also freshly installed "Launcher Pro". It will be installed in phone memory only and it doesn't support moving to sdcard. So, i think we donot need to reverse the process in any case, as it wont support moving to memory card in conflicting cases.
[NOTE: I think some apps with native support of apps2sd will be installed to phone memory, and we will have to move them manually. If it is so, then do a batch movement at once.]
@bharatgaddameedi: yeah, almost all i need from root! except of custom ROM of course... but, this is just fine until root.
have a nice day
yes. Its fine untill root. Now I can have almost unlimited apps on my phone. Never expected this would be possible without root. Day by day, I'm getting a bit more satisfied with my phone. And it will be great if we can access root-only apps soon.
have a nice day.

That is not an issue with the actual process.
U must know how to use adb (and how to use command prompt also) to go with the process. And also, have u installed the android usb driver.
The easiest way to install android usb driver is just install "HTC SYNC" if u donot want to go with a long process. However the driver will also be a part of other softwares like htc usb driver, pdanet (pc version) ......
hope it helped.

Yes it will come back to the original status on making hard reset. We cant expect that to retain even after hard reset. But we dont need to make hard reset just for coming back to the original status. We can use the command adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0 . But before doing that we need to move all the unsupported apps to the phone memory. I think they will not be usable unless we move them.

any chance that somebody make an app to do this automatic from phone

Yes that would be nice. I also thought that. That eliminates pc connection everytime we want it.
But I think it is not yet done. There are Android terminal emulator apps. I tried in those apps the commands "pm setInstallLocation 2". But it was unsuccessful. I think adb was necessary for doing that. Hope they will be done.
(and remember the letters in those commands are case sensitive. There are only 2 capital letters in that).

app uninstall problem - now no more app space

Hi all,
I installed the new FireFox beta 6 this afternoon and after playing around with it for a while watching my 101 slowly die on itself trying to get everything in line, I gave up and tried to uninstall it.
I say tried because it hasn't freed up my app space after the uninstall and I was only left with 6MB RAM free, even after rebooting. I then cleaned as much application cache and userdata that other apps were using as possible and managed to get it up to almost 15MB's free (which is not even half of what it was before I installed the firefox beta). So absolutely no way I can install anything new now except if I uninstall some other apps (which I obviously don't want to do as there was plenty of RAM before the FF beta).
It looks like my FF beta surfing left some data or something behind in RAM after the uninstall? Anybody got any idea's how to get rid of it (without wiping my device) so I can get my RAM back or at least some way to find out where my RAM went?
Cheers,
Rick
You can test it with soms apps, search for "Memory manager" or so
But remove it... it will be hard if you dont have root, you havent right?^^
You can try to install FF again and remove it again
Greets
Lenn
Thanks for the advice but I finally gave up and did a full reinitialization and have now almost got things back to normal again. Funny but it now seems that no matter what I install there's always about 90MB's appspace left.. And that's including all my previous apps and goolge earth to boot. Go figure??????
Dont know why this is either..
But if you need much app space you should try Urukdroid (Up to 2gig i think)
If that happens again, on a rooted device you can do:
Code:
su
cd /data
du
(Either in a terminal or adb shell.) That will let you know which directory was eating up space.

...which brings us to the best advice: install UrukDroid! Apart from all its other benefits, you can create your own partition lay out with much more app space. Never have this problem again.

Can't root Lg Optimus L3 (and a whole other plethora of problems)

First of all, I'd like to say that I'm making this thread after countless hours of hopeless google search and a very short but rude cal with the LG LatAm support.
I got a second hand LG L3 (e400g) as a gift after my previous phone was stolen, I can't really get anything else due to lack of money so I intend to use this little baby for quite some time.
First of all, I noticed it didn't had WhatsApp, which is crucial for my work, or Facebook or Messenger so I went to get them from the Play Store but it always crashed, I found out the phone had no Google Play services so after getting an apk for that and updating the Play Store and trying to download any application the download always said "pending" and nothing happened so I downloaded an Whatsapp apk and tried to install it, but I found out I only had 5 mb of storage free because Play Store + Play Store services had taken 100mb out of the measly 150 mb the phone comes with (the other 45 being occupied with what I guess are system files and stuff.
Alright, didnd't matter, started to look for some help and found out that by rooting the phone I could install custom play store apks that would most likely work and, more importantly, I could delete bloatware and install apps on the 1gb internal and external memories.
I tried to Install the LG drivers but I couldn't make them work on my PC so rooting at home wasn't an option, called LG to ask for help on how to install that but they told me I was a poorfag for purchasing and old second-hand phone and couldn help me (not their exact words but it surely felt like that).
Tried installing the drivers at work and they worked! So i, very happily, tried to finally root my phone using Spectrum Root but it couldn't work either, so I tried SuperOneClick and it didn't work either. I took some screens but currently I'm at home and I forgot to bring them with me but Spectrum couldn't root anything because it "couldn't create directories" and SuperOneClick just froze on the 7th step of shell root.
What can I do? Anything that doesn't involve getting a new phone because honestly this is the only thing I could afford and I won't be able to change phone for some months so any help would be really appreciated.
TL;DR: Phone can't acces play store, stupidly small storage space and there's no apparent way to root it.

Root the phone with KingoRoot, it worked in my LG Optimus L5 E610/E612(f)...
Install Root Browser or a smaller size root browser app (download through your PC and put it in the phone) and delete some system apps/bloatware and get App2SD to install your apps to SD Card.

I used kingo root and it was a success, however it didn't install any SU terminal or something like that which made me think the root didn't work. I googled some stuff and found out sometimes while it works it doesn't install the SU terminal so I had to get a 3rd party terminall app, i typed "su" and the "$" changed to a "#" which supposedly means it works. I got App2SD but the only apps it shows to transfer to the SD card are the ones I installed manually, none of the bloatware or default ones. And when I tried to use the terminal to set the default install location the SD card (pm setInstallLocation 2) it apparently didn't work because when I pressed enter to input the code the "#" didn't reappeared and the any other code I used later like "date" or "exit" did nothing either.

Use Root Checker Basic to see if you have rooted it successfully!
Use root browser to free some memory by deleting system apps and then get Ext2SD (I think that's the app's name or whatever), it swaps your SD card's memory with your internal memory, so for example, if you have a SD card with 64gb and you swap memories using the app, you'll get 64gb internal memory, google it!

Root checker said yes but I still couldn't use any SU command, so I just did the unthinkable and ran Kingo Root again and it finally worked 100%. But that didn't fixed the whole play store thing so I just flashed the phone and isntalled CM9 and it worked. I can use the play store and download stuff but only the original 2.3.6 one, if I update it it stops working but I don't care and I don't really want to fix that because I may break something else.
Now for the storage, I could finally use App2SD (Which is apparently called Link2SD or something like that because googling App2SD only gave me results of Link2SD) And save a whole lot of space on my phone and could finally install whatsapp and a couple of browsing apps and stuff but I couldn't install for example facebook because, while I could copy like half of the app to the SD I couldn't copy the data folder.
I searched for your app's name in your previous post but It turns out Ext2SD isn't an app but rather something like a partition format so I got a partition app and partitioned half of the Internal SD but it couldn't copy anything there and I couldn't recover the space either so half the internal memory is kinda dead now. Is there any way to fix this and to have some more storage space without breaking the phone?

I don't know... Try searching in the internet or just reflash CM9 and see if the partitions are fixed.
