None that I've seen (but can't say i've looked for such a utility before).
This is a good place to start if you want to know (at least) what apps can be safely removed.

Hi gIMpSTa, Thanks for your reply (new to android) It's not the apps I'm concerned with It's the files and folders they leave behind when I remove them.
Thanks

Low Battery + Camera Flash Tweak?

I was wondering if anyone knew of such a thing (a download to enable camera flash even at low battery) or would be kind enough to provide me with one, I would be so grateful. I've tried searching around to no avail. Thanks in advance.
*Actually, or if anyone knows where in the settings I can change this at because I've went through everything I see and I can't find an option for it.
I need it too....
Last time i checked, this was in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Drivers\BuiltIn\Battery\
Change the 0 value to "FlashlightpowerUnavailable" : 1
Cheers
There is a better solution:

Hi there djet,
i tried to transfer both the files to the windows folder but i am getting this message: "be certain that there is enough free storage memory, that the destination is not write protected and that the file is not currently in use". Have you personally tried the method already?
many thanks

All you need to do is to copy Camera.exe to \Windows folder. You are definitely doing it wrong. Try Resco's Explorer for file management.

Personally? The patch and the package are mine. Of course it works.
Thanks djet...worked this time (using resco's explorer).
i tried using the native file explorer yesterday which didn't work
EDIT++++
i tried the camera app and it didn't work. says that app may be right protected... i returned the original camera app and i got it to work. do i still have to do something on the replacement camera app before placing it to the windows folder?
thanks

What ROM are you using and what exactly is the message?
I am using the old ROM (1.48.707.2) WWE. I'm from the Philippines btw.
I'm sorry I forgot the exact message but it did say something like either the phone having not enough memory space (but I still have 78MBfree space) or installing a right-protected (certificate) file?

The patch is intended for 1.66+ Camera. Certificate checks must be disabled as the patched exe isn't properly signed.
i see. now i am going to have to be forced to upgrade my rom thanks

Juts make another account and make it Admin. Then use the new account.
If your windows is that bad then I would either use a backup(if you did one) or a fresh install.

Well to create a new account i would have to have admin access. Like a year or so ago this computer was givin to me for that reason lol. Theres a admin account on my computer but i cant get into it. Never could I wish there was a work around. Ive been messing with android for a long time and not once i have EVER used ADB lol. I would love to, theres so much stuff that i cant do because of this terrible computer.

Find yourself a copy of BartPE with Password Renew in it.
Burn, boot, use password renew to reset the password for any account.
I'm trying this, except when I get to "adb shell a2sd install" it says a2sd: not found.
:\
I had to go to /system/bin before i could run a2sd via ./a2sd, after which it worked.

it allows you to use the ext partition from previous versions of CM. Froyo's version now uses a fat32 partition on the sd card, therefore will not read the ext partition and the fact that your apps are on there.

It's not as good, but coming from <= CM5 you may want to port along your apps.
Also Froyo's SD implementation is supported on an per app basis, but can be forced via CM. Note that dalvik cache is only moved to SD when using legacy a2sd.

Not true.
See this thread for a more detailed discussion about the pros and cons between froyo2sd and app2sd.

I will have a try , Thanks..

froyo implementation isn't as good as apps2ext. The froyo method uses the fat32 partition but only if the dev of the app allows it to be moved to the sdcard. plus the apps don't all load on boot because the phone has to mount (prepare)the fat32 partition of the sdcard. This is the reason that many apps are not launching at boot like SetCpu and other root access apps, because the system boots before the sdcard is prepared. This is also the reason why many widgets and apps are missing from the app drawer for a lot of people as well. Cyanogenmod really needs to look at this and think about changing back to the old cm5 way of doing things.
I am trying to find a good backup app as doing a Nandroid did not work for me with doing aps2sd this way.
OMG

ADB is faster than FTP especially for large files
Nice work pal. Please include cut copy paste and delete option to and from phone. Thanks again.
Really nice (I might even try it out), but question - what is wrong with simple drag and copy? =)
im using android commander
gonna try it, nice work
Im using Qtadb, good work though! Keep it coming.
any advantage over androidSamba?
I'd like copy past running files on windows explorer with samba all the time.
Edit: Sry My Fault...ADB File Pushing, That is interesting.

This application transfer files when telefone is in debug mode so you cant use drag & drop.
Thanks for all feedback.
I am working on the next version wich will tell when select files has been sent to telefone.

The program does not start on my computer. Also, the installation wizard was in a language I don't know, hehe.

Just a quick question from someone who isn't that experienced with all of these things:
Could this program be used to remove bloatware? As in, the preinstalled carrier/regional apps?
I used to do this with Root Explorer, but this seems no longer possible under froyo and this looks like a fairly easy solution to that problem.
Thanks for your help.

No it can not be used to remove bloatware. But you can remount /system to RW with this app.

[Q] Android - How do I delete files from ext2

Hi,
Have spent the last hour or so followign various guides and downloading programs to run on my PC, and nothing has worked.
I have been using Links 2SD on my rooted HTC Hero (stock 2.1) but was unaware I had an older version. As I have deleted apps linked to the SD, data has remained on the ext2 partition, because I did not remove the link first.
My ext2 partition is full (I've calculated about 70MB of unaccounted for usage), so would really like to be able to remove some files from it.
Have tried to get to it through terminal emulator, but the $SU resulted in 'permission denied', even though I am rooted and have super user permissions installed.
I am on a Windows7 PC.
Please help, this is getting really frustrating!
Could a mod please close this, Root Explorer did the job... and is brilliant!
is there any same apps which is free?

Internal Memory running low - MacLaw 4.4

I have installed MaclawStudio Kit Kat ROM (version of March 17th, 2014) in my Galaxy S2 Lite (a.k.a Galaxy S Advance).
Everything was running fine, but now with some months of usage I was fighting with low internal memory available, even though I have only a few apps installed.
I used Storage Analyser app to check where the pain point was an found out a big number of folders with the naming mmdsp-SIA_... in the data folder.
They contained the following files:
mem_sdram_data.data
mem_sdram_code.data
mem_esram_code.data
mem_tcm.data
metadata.txt
I could not find much information about this, but as the name folder contained a timestamp I imagine this is some kind of Short Dump memory information.
I deleted this folders, made free more or less 400 MB and so far the phone is ok.
Thats what happen when you use ****law cm :laugh::laugh::laugh:
PS: sorry for OT
Same problem here
Hi,
I'm having the same exact problem with my S Advance but i have no custom ROM, though i have routed my phone to uninstall operator apps so that i could make it run lighter.
I have more than a hundred of them and don't know if i can delete them without problems.
Do you still have those kind of directories ?
Have you found what they are for ?
And still no problems deleting them ?
Thanks

Hello, sorry for the late response.
The folders appear again now and then. When I'm low on space I always check the data folder and if they are there I'll delete them.
No harm so far.
