Re: How to free up memory available for insatallble applications
 

Probably not a memory problem, but you say you installed most of the repos. Does this include devel and testing?

If so, you have probably installed many unstable/unfinished applications.

I would reflash and start again, only installing from devel and testing after researching their stability

I fell in to this trap when I first got the phone, just installing all the cool sounding apps and games and ended up with a very slow and constantly crashing N900. Then I reflashed to pr1.3 and everything is great :)

Re: How to free up memory available for insatallble applications
 

Hi,
I reflashed my device, both FIASCO (firmware v2) and eMMC (lastest v2010).
First i flashed FIASCO image without -R parameter
next i flashed eMMC image (vanilla) with -R parameter
Now i see that "Memory for installable applications" is cleared, it shows 1.9GB available.

But the problem is, in the device desktop, before battery icon, there is a small icon which looks like file icon or sim card icon on which there is a red line crossed over that, i havent seen this earlier. I am not able to make any calls or msgs or recieve calls.

Pls help me what to do next? i couldnt get back my fone as i got it from showroom even after flashing both.

I've seen the no sim icon before. Take your sim out and put it back in.

If this doesn't work then it must be a software issue

To flash, I use Mac - but have tried Windows XP, SP3 with the same error:

Can anyone explain this - or some other way to clear the eMMC? (Bottom line - I use 92% of /rootfs - have done "apt-get clean" and the "movemem.sh".)
