Nexus One Root/unroot and space pls help

Ok fellas! Im new to this world of android just bought a newsu one last night Its used and rooted. I installed bunch of apps and after a bit it gave me an alert of low space/memory. Never had this with my x10 . so i was wondering may be its cus o the root if yes? Do u recmnd unrooting to clear space? And in case of unrooting any help /guide would be much appreciated.
Also i saw the update alert ast night fo 2.2.1 but when i tried to update it it wa stuck on a black screen with a android(green guy) and a exclamation mark. so i r/s the phone again and ignore the update anyhelp. please...
Thanks a bunch.

The ROM would effect the lack of space, but having root shouldn't. It more likely the apps though.
Just try moving some apps to your SD (menu> settings> applications> manage applications... sort by size [menu key], then select an app. In each app there's an option to move to SD. Some will move, some won't)
There's plenty of discussions on the update, but it's probably failing because you're not stock...

So what should i do to get the update ..get the phone unroot??

First, decide if you want the update, or if you want a custom ROM...
I've not tried the update, so I can't make any recommendations.

ROM Manager premium

I'm trying to decide if I want to go to the premium rom manager. I've been loving on some skyraider for a long time but I keep hearing about miui roms. Any suggestions?

i wont go premium until they fix it for HTC Incredible. When using ROM manager, after installing a ROM from the app and going in to recover autmatically(it gives you this option after the inital download) after the download it wont install automatically. I have to go toggle the the security(or whatever its called)disable and then download from sd card and look for ROM manually. I have reported to the deveolper but never no responce. But I would love to use the ROM manager how its supposed to be. If it loads the ROMS for you automatically I would suggest on buying. Great App!

I've been using it on my dinc with absolutely no problems. I've used it to flash more roms than I care to think of. I don't know why you're having trouble.
OP: Support the developer, I got premium.

I guess my real question is is the miui rom worth paying for rom manager?

Same here. Other than Clockwork Mod having issues since I have a new SLCD Dinc (for which there are fixes) the app works flawlessly. I bought it if only to support the developer.

I used MIUI for a day and wasn't all that impressed. Yeah, it was flashy and shiney and new, but once that wore off, it wasn't anything special in my opinion. Went back to SkyRaider.

Its worth it if you like how the roms look i like them and ive never had a single issue

Besides miui and cm nightlies what other benefits are there from going from free to premium?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I do agree that supporting the Dev is nice and that's why I don't use the ad free app.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Doesn't it let you install from SD too or something?? I kinda of went premium aright away
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

ROM manager is a life saver for me, i have had zero issues as well. bought it to not only support the dev but because it's just an essential app for any ROM flasher.
i use adfree because i dont like apps that send personal information to ad agencies. it's a privacy issue for me. i buy apps if there is a version available.

Can't you just download the roms yourself and flash via recovery? That's what I do....never have to use rom manager unless I want to fix permissions or something.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk

Rom manager premium is a great app. Way too many benefits like "Fix permissions".
Costs lesser than the value of the time you have spent trying to figure it out. Seriously!

Well worth it!
Install ROM from SD Card
Download ROM
Check for ROM Updates
Install from QR Code
Manage and Restore Backups...
- Restore
- Rename
- Delete
Backup Current ROM
Fix Permissions
and more!

I bought it to support the developer first, but it has been a great lifesaver. On the other issues you brought up:
- Works fine on my Incredible, all the features with no issues
- MIUI Rom looks beautiful, but works only ok. I was running into all sorts of different issues, not the least of which being file locations and then it did something to my SD card that caused about 4 hours of rework. Fortunately I have been flashing since my Windows Mobile days and am finally smart enough to keep a full backup of everything I really need. I will say that it seems to run the fastest and in the smallest footprint though.
- I agree with the GamerZ, I went back to SkyRaider as usual. Rock solid and stable.

congratulations..the app it self is fine no problems with downloading or anything. Its just rebooting in to recovery. It never installs automatically. I always have to manually wipe and clear data/cache and install from sdcard..until thats fixed for MY phone ill stay on the free app

That's to bad it doesn't work for you.
Works fine for me with most ROMs.
Currently running Skyraider3.3.3 and it works fine. When I upgraded from 3.3.2 to 3.3.3 I downloaded the ROM with ROM Manager and was given 2 options:
1. Backup Current ROM
2. Wipe (can't remember the exact words in the menu)
When the ROM was Downloaded there was an icon in the notification bar, I clicked on it and it said "Download Complete". I clicked on the notification and my phone rebooted into recovery, done a backup - installed the ROM and rebooted my phone.
All with no user interaction other than clicking the notification to start the process.
I have had other ROMs that when I try the same thing it will not reboot to recovery. I have to manually reboot recovery (I usually do it from a command prompt) then it will start the install.
On those ROMs selecting "Reboot into Recovery" didn't work either.
I have used it enough that I think different ROMs handle this differently.

I've never had any problems with rom manager. I always download my roms here on xda (like miui, for example) and flash them through rom manager, though.
Premium didn't really have anything I needed, but I got it anyway because koush is awesome.

Tried a few days ago - everything seemed to be working fine for normal use.
But had my tab reboot several times when downloading a large file. Uninstalled havent had a reboot downloading same file.
May or may not work for you. Probably need to fine tune settings in script but my tab is running smooth regardless.

People should be very skeptical about messing with the memory management in an OS.
Same thing for task killers...they can be helpful to kill an application(to stop it from running in the background), but an auto task killer is generally not a good idea...not on android and not on Linux or windows.
Free memory says nothing, as it's better to use memory then to not use memory performance wise.
Not saying that this can't be the exception to the rule(bad idea to not use the OS's internal memory management), but i'm not convinced.

In android, nothing to worry.
You reflash. You can do anything. Hope you find your sweet spot.

How much RAM do you have running this script? My Tab has less free RAM while running it (used: 230mb before and 310mb after the script).

As already stated in this thread, it's not the purpose of the script to give you the most amount of free memory at all times but to optimise memory use for max performance.

[Q] Task killers?

hi,
sorry if i have reposted this i have looked around but not found an EXACT answer.
my question is,
i have installed ATK and set an "ignore list" to all the apps which i want to keep running (eg. Calender) and all widgets.
i have turned AutoKill and AutoStart off
and i am not using the widget (kill via opening app in drawer)
will this speed up my phone atall or am i better off whithout it?
is there any better settings you can reccomend?
Thanks alot

Are you on Stock Rom ?

I would not recommend using a task killer because Android is a multi-tasking OS and closing certain tasks can cause instabilities.
The only time they are useful is if you want to force close an application due to it not responding, which you can do by going into settings.
Using a task killer will most probably not speed up the wildfire nor will it save much battery.
If you find the Wildfire slow, OC it by rooting and flashing a custom kernel.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App

On stock ROM I sometimes found it useful to use when there was not enough memory available (< 95 MB) and the phone started running slower. On CM7 I constantly have about 180 MB left so no need for the taskkiller, the phone runs smooth enough without it

Thank you all!
Firstly i am on stock rom, and there are just a few apps which i would jsut like to keep closed, such as Gmail (i use the HTC mail instead) or peep, talk and Maps. but if it isnt reccomended i will change.
i want to keep sense, i have used LauncherPro but find Sense UI far better.
how would i go about overclocking? i have read a tutorial about rooting but doesnt look easy for a first time android user,
Android 2.2.1
HBOOT 1.01.0002
Sense 2.0 (i think)
Vodafone UK
12 month contract
S-ON
Not Rooted
Stock ROM
Stock Kernal
let me know if there is anything else you need to know

If your rooted then get titanian backup and freeze apps you dont want to be running at all it stops them without uninstalling and without the need to keep killing it. So i advise you to root.
If you want to overclock then you need root and custom recovery to flash an overclockable kernel such as jacobs. Or a rom with an overclockable kernel 'built in'
Rooting is fairly easy really so long as you have researched and are careful good luck.

Click on this link for the full guide to root your HTC Wildfire:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035
After you follow the instructions in that thread and are successfully rooted, seeing as you like the Sense UI; I recommend you use JokerDroid as your ROM as it uses Sense. You can download it at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999899
Once you have downloaded it, either use ROM Manager or Recovery to flash it and you'll be up and running with Sense.
Next, I think that JokerDroid is already overclocked; but if it isn't, go to the following link where you can download SetCPU which will enable you to overclock ( to 768MHz ):

You will notice a big difference when you root your Wildfire, it will be like a completely new phone! If you need any help with any of the above don't hesitate to message me. Good luck!

Root your phone, install antek app manager. Freeze applications that you don't want. stocks, footprints etc..
Simples.

titanium backup paid version can also freeze apps

JokerDroiD recommends that you use Task killer ?

I wouldnt, android stops applications running when there services are no longer needed. Task killer can cause problems with apps.

Finally perm rooted my phone a few question I need answered

First off thanks to the people who suggested the gfree way it work perfectly second Imma a gamer I like to play a lot of hd games and emulators on my touch what I want to know is which kernel is the best for this and for overlooking second how do I flash a kernel /Rom and when I flash will I have to delete my data like apps games contacts and such sorry for all the questions haven't done this stuff yet very egared by the way
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

When you flash its just like your getting a new phone and signing in all over again. For gaming you might want to check out asop rom like royal ginger for the speed and the kernel that's built in.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Make sure to read the first few posts in the rom and kernel threads-most will give explicit instructions on what you need to wipe through clockwork mod and how to do so. Most also will state the initial boot time to take awhile, so make sure to let it sit and do its thing. As far as backing up data, I prefer my backup root but titanium has its benefits as well. I recommend only backing up app data that you need, like games, etc. to conserve space on your sd card. Then like stated above, you will have to set the phone back up like when you first got it and then restore your apps/data...

Ok so any saved games like assassins creed or mobile combat will yo progress in that game be saved or will u have to start over*

Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Yes, just make sure the kernel states it its for your specific rom-i.e. don't flash a cm kernel to a sense rom and vise versa...try to read through the posts in the thread (or search the thread) if you are unsure. Just make sure to follow the op instructions to a t.

Thanks for the info can u give me any recommendation / links
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

You have rooted stock mysense 2.2.1 correct? Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941141&highlight=Sense+kernel
Again, make sure you read the op a few times so you have instructions down. Also, when you download the kernel, make sure the file size matches the size stated on the download page...occasionally you get a bad download and when you try to flash, it says aborted or something...

And just to be safe...download rom manager from the market, open it (allow su access), at the very top, press "flash clockwork mod recovery-once that is done, right below it says "reboot into recovery", press that...you will now be rebooted into recovery where you should flash your kernel and rom zips from at all times to help eliminate issues. Once you are in recovery, make a backup (usually called a nandroid)! It is always recommended before flashing anything to make/have a backup just in case something goes wrong. After that, just folklore whatever instructions were listed in the op and enjoy!

Yes I have root mysense 2.2.1 lol I read the op still nervous I download Rom manager yesterday and install clock thingy (forgot name ) ok lol anyways I was a little confused when reading not about what to do but which version to download ?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Also when I flash the kernel all data will be deleted like when flashing a Rom so back up wit Titb ? An I was thinking if all data is deleted wouldn't the back up data be deleted as well or is that on the SD card ?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

If you want better battery, go with cfs-better performance go with bfs. As far as voltage, try the lv kernel first and if you run into some issues, then go with stock voltage. As far as data, when you flash a kernel, you are just wiping cache and dalvik cache-not your data. You are just replacing a piece in a puzzle so to speak and not the whole thing (if that makes sense). Anytime you are flashing things, you should have a backup made just in case, but your data should be ok...

Um I still don kno which one to chose . Which one u think I will prefer u kno what I use my phone for 80% gaming / 10% textin / 10 % internet surfing
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Try the bfs low voltage....if things aren't silky smooth, than use stock voltage. You can get set cpu from the xda forum-just do a search for it or you can but it in the market which is what I did-this will allow you to over clock or under clock and you probably want to use performance scaling (governor) when gaming or just set the scaling to on demand-you will have to play with it to figure out what works best for you. Just make sure you hit menu> device selection> auto detect after you install the kernel....

I have set CPU all ready Um by accident I downloaded this app called tasker every heard of it how to use it for best performance or is that what its used for
