In terms of what I absolutely use for apps: EVINCE LEAFPAD FENNEC OPERA FBREADER MPLAYER RSS reader as well as the built in media player. I do NOT use any of the games, built in or otherwise. I would like to remove some of the packaged crap as well. I have already uninstalled the GPS/mapping app which allowed me to do on it's own. Anyway, here is a starting point. I assume that I must have a bunch of residual stuff from the past year of use but find very little of my own files installed. thx for your willing ness to help! |
Re: Removing unnecessary files on N810
Do you guys also reformat the mmc2 when you reflash?
Been thinking about copying it down to my PC, reformat the internal mmc2 card and should I need any of the docs/images I can move them back to the mmc2 through ssh. |

Can't remember when I used mine as much as I have in the past week. I WAS gonna wait until the weekend..but..nah...I might just reflash..AND reformat mmc2 today... :D EDIT: Having said that I just started copying the entire flash (well, I copied all under /user and /usr ) - and mmc2 contents to my pc over ssh. Yes, I am that anal :) |
Re: Removing unnecessary files on N810
Do you use a particular theme or switch a lot?
You have a lot of apps that I've never installed. But I'm sure a few things will help you out. I truly suggest that you go back to my prior list and install in this order: libpcre3_6.7-1osso1_armel.deb color_ls_1.0-1_armel.deb pcregrep_6.7-1osso1_armel.deb localepurge_0.5.8_all.modfied.modfied.deb Login as root, then pull a localepurge && docpurge. Docpurge is built-in already. Then go do the rest about the languages, et al. Now, from there, I'd clear the caches of Fennec and Opera - Opera is bad about putting it down on the main memory and my config changes don't seem to be helping (more on that later, I want the cache on one of the external cards). I'm going to assume that you're keeping very little on the main memory and internal memory and keeping most of that on the external memory card. Dropping the unused *.png's and themes can give you up to 12mb right there alone. Another 10-17mb for using the localepurge and docpurge. The rest is less than 2mb - such as the keyboards, et al. You might still have .navicore and other hidden files - I tend to pull a ls -a | more in /usr/share and drill down from there. There are installers still in /cd/etc that can be killed. To be honest, that's another 1.x or so megabyte more saved (it's not much). I tend to kill the help files on the apps I download. And all README files, I kill. I'm going to assume that you've also killed the images, that Moby track, the other files that are on the main memory. If not, that's about another 9-17mb right there. rm -rf /usr/share/mime/.Trash/* rm -rf /var/tmp/* Pull those two to kill apps that might have placed stuff down in places you've not intended for them to go. Also, once you've uninstalled the -d apps you've listed above, cd /home/user/ and pull a ls -a Any .<applicationName> that you've uninstalled, feel free to remove them. Do not remove .mozilla, .purple from that location. If I can think of where else some other stuff might be hiding, I'll list it in this thread. And I'm sure some heavy-duty users, like Addison and the rest can help out where I might be a bit lacking. I don't mind admitting that I've cobbled this together over a few years, but it's not perfect. And by searching through this site, I've learned and added more over the years. Oh... and I do cheat a bit... I disable my application catalogs and weekly turn them on to check for updates. Extras-Devel can bloat up to like 10mb or so. Once I update, disable them, then apt-get autoclean && apt-get autoremove then I pull a reboot via the terminal. |
Re: Removing unnecessary files on N810
I'm starting to think that localpurge is what stopped Vietnamese characters to show for me in Vagalume. Will test today when reflashing/reformatting.

Re: Removing unnecessary files on N810
will only be using the Diablo 5 theme now...
as for the rest of the instructions, it is pretty much over my head... As I said before, x-term is not my thing and I have no knowledge of linux at all. I am however, a pretty knowledgable PC user but am afraid of accessing and messing with this linux stuff is where I am lost. I am willing to learn but this will obviously be somewhat slow. So, the first thing is to install the 4 apps you mention, correct? Doing this now... |
