Anyone know what apps (from factory) that we can delete in order to free up our storage/RAM.

And f course, it require root.

Just curious, the Phone memory + internal sd is already quite big for anything, why you want to free up more space?

I solve the limited internal sd space by mount bind it with the external sd card. Now, i got all the space i want...

what do u mean bind it? please teach .. i cant play eternal legacy due to internal sd not enough memory ..
*
there are many techniques to solve store data in internal sdcard to external sdcard. the technique i m using is by mount bind /sdcard/gameloft -> /sdcard/external_sd/gameloft. to do this:

Manual way:
1. copy everything in /sdcard/gameloft -> /sdcard/external_sd/gameloft
2. delete everything inside /sdcard/gameloft (leave the /sdcard/gameloft empty)
3. run as root:
- mount -o bind /sdcard/external_sd/gameloft /sdcard/gameloft

but u need to run this every time after you reboot your phone. i solved that by editing the /init.rc.

Automated way:
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/10/02/how-to-...ternal-sd-card/

This technique is better than patching game since you can basically map everything you like, not limited to gameloft data. can be used to map NaviSEA, Aura, etc...

note: you can't use softlink since internal SD is a vfat system...

*warning*: once u do that, you can no longer see the /sdcard mount when u connect your phone to PC via USB. but u still can see the external_sd. if u still wanna see the /sdcard, just:
- umount /sdcard/gameloft

How to get to the command line, and edit the file and run those other commands?

Got "vi" editor, ah?
*
there is vi biggrin.gif

it is best to use "adb shell" to get a shell from your phone. adb shell allow your PC to get a shell from your phone via USB.

otherwise, u can download Terminal from android market but it's a pain to use.

if u not familiar with these... i recommend u dont do this... quite dangerous....

Sygic is GPS is it? is it same like garmin .. how many MB the app?
*
the App is small, just around 5mb, the map is around 300mb (including 34mb for Malaysia map).

tested it a little, definitely better than Papago X5 in term of usefulness and GUI.

however, _way_ too little POI. map is also not very updated.

best option is still Papago X5 with malfreemap.

@CarroTT:

I still keep Sygic in my phone for ability to key in cordinate, etc. biggrin.gif

Can I ask you if you click "Setting", "Navigate to...", "Address or POI", can you select "POI - In Malaysia". That option is dimmed out in my Sygic.

hmm.. does anyone know hw can i keep those gps map in external sd card n make it work? i install both papago n sygic, they already took my phone memory around 70% jor..
*
With Sygic, you just need to edit database.xml (google it)

With Papago, you need to map /sdcard/NaviSEA to /sdcard/external_sd/NaviSEA (can use technique i posted earlier)

Both those GPS map are now stored in external sd...

Mine has no problem showing nearby POIs

Nearby POI has no problem, too, but it's too limited. For example, you cant find "Hotel Avillion" in Port Dickson, well basically, I think the POI has nothing beyond Klang Valley...

So, it's confirmed that "Navigate to", "POI" is not selectable. May be need to insert custom POI using their converter, but I am just too lazy.

As of now, 2 GPS in my phone! They compliment each other. laugh.gif

So... this phone is left with 1GB of internal memory to download apps? How many apps roughly can it download?

I hear my friend saying that it's better to install apps in the internal memory instead of SD card for full functionality?
*
- 1GB is not much if we are talking about games... may be just a few of them.

- there is no such things as reduced functionality when installed in SD Card.

Most likely Gorilla glass is a Trademark by CORNING company?

Even Galaxy Nexus not using Gorilla glass, but stated that it is a "fortified" glass...

Hi,

Wanna ask these questions, especially to previously SGS user.

RFS or EXT4?

How about the lag? Is it totally non-existence similar to SGS2, or it still lags even with all the fixes? Especially when WhatsApp database gone bigger?
Thanks!
*
SGW is using EXT4 on / and vfat on both internal SD and external SD

as expected, no lag what-so-ever smile.gif

hey guys this phone better or htc desire better?

HTC Desire with only 1 GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 200 GPU, Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon chipset?

Galaxy W is 1.4 GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 205 GPU, Qualcomm MSM8255T Snapdragon...

The Adreno 205 is at least double the performance of 200 GPU...

So, if you buy HTC Desire, you get jelly when u see ppl playing ShadowGun, Blood and Glory etc on the handphone... brows.gif

I am now playing this on my Galaxy W:



(Almost as good as Infinity Blade....)

How about Desire HD?  Where does it stand?

Desire HD is 1 GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 205 GPU, Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon...

Galaxy W has same GPU, but with faster CPU smile.gif

Both same resolution.

Desire HD has better camera though...

Basically, W still win!
