G2X has 125mb APK (NFS Shift)

I follow Paul Obrien on Twitter, One of his entries today were about the G2X. He said and I quote that the "G2X has a 125mb APK (NFS shift)in the system partition"
What the heck does that mean and is this good or bad. Sorry if it sounds Noobish but tried looking it up but didn't understand some of the explanations I was finding. Thanks for any help.

He's talking about the pre-installed Need For Speed game. I guess it's very large and eating up valuable system storage. I deleted it.

what he said ^^^ but 125mb isnt big at all when you have 8gb internal storage

All that space isn't available for the system though.

can you please upload this apk !
I delete my....
because I was pay for this game....so i was think than i will download new version, but when i try to install app tell me unsupported device ! lol

The space reserved for apps is something like 1.5GB, if you're using all of that even with NFS there you're doing something wrong.

I DID the EXACT same thing
now i wish i could get it back also
.

Thanks guys, My Google search explanation wasn't nearly as clear as yours.

There's no point to deleting apks from /system because when you install apps they go into /data anyway, so xtra /system space does not help you in any way, unless you repartion

unless you delete the 125mb APK and don't reinstall it like I did.

how do you delete it?

The Infuse's internal is partitioned in 2. The first half is seen as full on internal, the second half is considered to be an sd card, an internal sd card. And no, there is no way to format it.

what do you mean format? i mean you can format it by factory resettign the phone through settings but that formats the data partition as well and loses all your data. you may be able to format it in windows but none of this will change the size of anything. you cant change the partition tables, well technically you can but don't you will brick your phone! and sinse 2gb is on a different device all together you cant change that at all either.
you seem a bit confused on how this all works. the 1.77 or 2 gb is phone storage, it is used for apps, contacts, message storage, phone related stuff. the 13.1 or 14 is sd storage built into the phone, the aditional 2 is external sd storage (it's under the sim card, remove the battery to get to it. you can expand it up to 32 +the 14 built into the phone). the numbers below advertiesed are just different ways of measuring gigabytes. the definition of giga is 1billion but in conputing they use powers of 2 tradidionally so killo isn't 1000 it's 1024 mega isn't 1million its 1,048,576. mega and kilo pretty much aloways are interperated that way in computing. giga/tera however sometimes use there literal meanings 1billion/1trillion and sometimes mean 1000/1,000,000 megabytes and might also mean 1024/1,048,576 megabytes which would be 1,073,741,824-bytes for gigabytes, if you look at packaging of new hard drives there is often a disclaimer on the method they are using to advertise the capacity. i dont remember which way windows reads gbs but this is one reason hard drives never report the same space as advertised and why you see 13.1 instead of 14 and part of why you see 1.77 (some of it is used for the /system and other partitions) instead of 2.

And that's why you are one of the best there is DANi...I learn from listening to your thorough answers and explanations...very nice..

hi
hi guys thanks, i just moved from an iPhone so i didn't know that works like that, i got a message saying that i didn't have any room in my phone that's why i was lil confused when i thought the phone had 14 GB int storage. Is there a way to download app's from the market to the sd card ? i mean i know i could move them one by one. but is there a way to download them directly to the sd card ?
Sorry just new to all of this

that's weird. did you install a whole bunch of app? or things like ringtones ect?
1.77gb is alot for a phone and i never filled up the storage. unless it is the market bug where apps above a certain size never download. if that's the case you need to downgrade the market. if the phone did not come with the new market you can go into settings>applications>all and find the market/vending.apk then you can uninstall updates. if you would like to install a custom rom then gtg465x had a fix for this in a custom market .apk with his roms, and entropy and linux bozo have a kernel fix in their gingerbread kernels so the new market will download apps of any size.
if you infact filled the storage then you can move apps to the sd card in settings>applications>downloaded but keep aftermarket launchers and applications with widgets on the phone storage. the reasaon is that the sd card doesnt mount till after the ui starts and apps on the sd card will disapear from the home screen, if the launcher is on the sd card it will default to the touchwiz launcher. you can also do this in bulk with titanium backup.

Hi
hi yeah it tells me i have 1.7 gb free and i get a message from the mark. i try to download i all the angry birds games at the same time and the first one was able to install fine and then i get that message from the market . i had to move that game to the sd before installing the rest i just installed this ROM MIUI - and when i had the stock ROM i never had this problem - i really like this ROM ... i only have like 5 apps installed and i have moved most of them to the SD - Facebook wont move and A.I Type wont move to the SD the rest are on the Sd -
i read some where on the web where i could go in terminal type a code and have all the apps that i download go there directly to the in.. sd card - im not sure if this is possible that's why im asking @

That no space warning is a bug in Market, go to settings>market and uninstall updates.
Things should download then, search Market fix.

Or just reboot...it will fix it also...done it many times

the newwest miui "should" have a kernel end fix. i mean the aosp kernel was developed by linux bozo and he put out a market fix on the hellraiser kernel but i dont keep up with the aosp roms.
if the kernel isn't part of the latest miui you may want to try the cm7 kernel, it is possible that because jordan elliot is having family things going on that are more important that he hasnt updated the kernel since the fix was released.
anyway it doesnt matter where you put the apps the low space message is an error. it has little to do with the space available.
when you have questions like this it helps on occasion to provide the carrier the phone is for(rogers/att), the rom or kernel you may have installed and if it is stock provide the baseband and maybe even what network you are on if it is not the one that the phone was released for. there may be known issues or differences that affect the answer and it is more productive if you can avoid having questions answered with questions or really broad answers.

Hi thanks for your help man like I said im new to this .. i was getting a msg from the market saying that because I think the market has a 30 mb download limited ... everything is working from know.. next time ill try to read more before I post lol ..

Atrix 2 4.04 Rooted System ROM too FULL! What do I delete?

Atrix 2 4.04 Rooted System ROM too FULL! What do I delete?
Forgive me XDA'ers. I'm getting older & I forget what I've learned here at XDA. It's been close to 2 years that I had my Droid X2, rooted it.
Haven't played with other phones.
So finally got an Atrix 2 & rooted it. Thank God found Boot Menu Manager here because ROM Manager wasn't working.
Anyways in Titanium Backup Pro says:
System ROM: 500 MB (7.16 MB free)
Having only 7.16 MB free concerns me greatly. What do I do to gain space? Ideally I like 20% or more free space.
Have 21 GB free on the 32 GB SD card & 4.31 GB free on the 4.88 GB Internal.
Have all the goodies installed afaik (emulator, Root Explorer etc). If you need more info or in another form let me know. Thank you kindly.

Afaik.. System partition only for system stuff.. I think its normal to have that much free space.. All other applications install in future will go to data partition.. Which is 4.31 or ur internal.. XD

This should be asked in Q&A section and not in dev section.
And to answer it, stock ROMs are full of bloatware which leaves you with least amount of space left on system folder.
So if you want more space, you can either delete unwanted system apps ( proceed with caution or you might delete a necessary file for the phone) or flash a custom ROM. I get around 100mb free space on my system with carbon ROM.

So is it ok to have minimal space left or am I just inviting trouble?

No problem at all. It doesn't matter how much of space you Have on System folder. If you wanna make an app as system app by manually moving it to system/app with permissions or if you're gonna flash a zip to add a system app, you'll need more space on system of course. All the downloaded user apps will be in /data. It is no way related to /system.

Thank you so much. I was concerned.
And thanks to the mod who moved this thread appropriately. Sorry about that.

Free up space in your internal memory, not the internal SD.

Usually this shouldnt really solve your Problems.
Better check which apps uses timers, Services, Foreground Services, Autostart, .. and disable/remove them.
Check your battery stats which apps uses high battery load (which does usually means that it uses high calculations and Memory)
..

link2sd works much better if u hv root acess..!!
u cn save more RAM by using any task killer
or manuly stop service which using high data or ram..

i have my phone rooted , but i wont move more system apps because some might be necessary and i dont want to kill my phone. I already converted some system apps to users apps with titanium backup (is there any difference? ) . And from time to time I clean dalvik cache.
I have about 150mb free on internal space. before I unninstall some apps i had my RAM always on 450mb+ but not anymore. I'll get a task killer , any sugestion ?

[Q] How do I save space ??

Hello Please some one help.
My Prestigio - PMP7280C3G V4.2.2 is now Rooted so for the past week or so now APK'S that I have downloaded from many internet apk websites have worked but everything is installing and using all my internal storage space.
How can I change the Download location on my Prestigio - PMP7280C3G V4.2.2 to the SDCARD if at all possible because so far I haven't been able to find a option to set the location to SDCARD. ( Any Help to do this would be much Appreciated. )
Also how can I run Apps/Games that some of them may or may not have data which is needed for them to run and that needs to be installed on to the Internal but how can I make it seem like the External is the Internal and make it run from the external..
I hope all the above makes sense and someone can help..
Any information and help will be much and greatly Appreciated.
