sorry mate, long break. i stop for christmas, there 12 pages!

about your problem about not enough internal memory, there are 2 things you can to do:

1) use the setInstallLocation will help u to free up Internal Memory since all new app will now be installed to your external sd card by default.

2) you need to manually move existing app to external sd by going to "Setting", "Manage Application", then select the App, and move to sd card.

After that, check again in Setting storage, see how much space you can free up in the Internal Device memory and try install the Golf game again.

Can play with SGW, no problem lar.

1) Root... dont no root... free your phone!

2) Follow this to have you app installed to external sd by default:

any more info about the samsung root counter?

if this is about the firmware counter, there is nothing to worry about:

this counter will only increase if you use flash your phone.

using zergrush, nothing is changed on the firmware level. so, for everyone that root their phone with DooMLoRD package, don't worry about the firmware counter.

That's is common. Majority of the ram is being used to create a RAMDrive that will host most commonly used system files ( da root and /system). The rest, on Android OS and Samsung TouchUI and other widget. So, even if you just started you phone, big chunk of memory is gone.

After using the phone for awhile, without reboot, some app that you closed actually being cached in the memory because the OS think that you may use it again. You can clear these cache in the "Setting", "Manage App", app. However, you dont need to do that because the OS is smart enough to clear it in low memory. Loading from memory is both faster and use less power compare to loading from storage.

If this sound too complex, just leave it be! Android will take full use of your ram.

Why not use the "Kies Air" in SGW? It's superb! No USB cable needed, can upload and download files thru wifi. Can even use when there is no Wifi! You can set your phone to be a Hotspot.

err.. what exactly you want to know about the storage?

I know GloftELHP is for Eternal Legacy. Not sure about others... uninstalling game in Setting WILL NOT remove downloaded files in /sdcard/gameloft

no need. my previous Ace, rooted, go to Samsung to update to Gingerbread, they even tell me, if you update, your root will be gone... i say it's ok.

Ya, in the Plaza Berjaya behind Lowyat.

Replying individually for each post make it possible for me to provide link to that post in the future. I always like to use link to refer to things I posted earlier rather than retype it. Hehe, guess your guys will have to live with it.

About that link (dont you find it easy if u click the link, you see directly that post? Instead of the whole page or all other reply? That's why I post reply individually)

- is done to the apk or what?
yes, but not "done" to apk. it will only affect all NEW apk that you will install in the future.

- I mean, those commands will be applied on to the apk?
yes

- Or it set the phone to install into external SD?
yes. by default, new app will be installed to Device memory, but with that setting, new app will be installed to external sd card...

am i repeating myself? sorry.

Hands up! Satisfy!

SGW is the most powerful phone in the market right now...
... for below RM1k budget...

Ya. You may delete anything inside /sdcard/gameloft anytime. The game will detect and download it again if needed. Save games are stored somewhere else (/data/data/game_package).

Not all game save to /sdcard. By design, all App has 2 folders:

/data/app/app_package - this store the main apk
/data/data/app_package - this store all the game files, save game, etc

both of this are on the Device memory. however, most big game knows there is limited space in the device memory, they will use "getExternalFilesDir()" API to get the external storage. This actually resolved into "/sdcard/Android/data/app_package".

All these 3 folders will be removed when you uninstalled the game.

However, some lazy programmers (including all gameloft game) actually just hard coded "/sdcard/gameloft" into the code. These type of game may have function to remove the downloaded file, but if not, you may need to manually delete them.

How about Window's WMV file? It's incredible small even for 720p movie. I always convert to WMV first before uploading to Youtube.

To convert to WMV, just download and use Microsoft Essential's Movie Maker, it's free.

Good thing is, SGW can play WMV file natively without anything extra.

For those who has Wifi on after boot, did your guys install "GT Racing: Motor Academy Free+" ? Just a wild guess...

ok then. coz that app requested for some crazy permissions:



these are not common in games. i even strip internet access from game.

To store Aura map to external sd card, refer here:

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2098558/+2380#entry47008541

ps: but i remember you said your GT racing is NOT the free one from market and dont auto start? i was referring to the free+ from Android market...

thanks for the reply... ignore my previous post then!

database.xml should be in /sdcard/Aura , if it's not there... something is not right liao..

i moved everything in Aura to external sd card (except that 2 files as stated in my original post). last i checked, i moved 300mb...

The command will only affect NEW app that you will install in the future. You need to manually move existing app to external sd by going to "Setting", "Manage Application", then select the App, and move to sd card.

Also, make sure you dont get "permission denied" type of error. If you have that error, make sure you run "su" first before running "pm setInstallLocation 2"

It's not really a secret, i found that out from googling around.
