Re: 95.1MB free space in RootFs
 

I have uploaded another script to revert moving stuff to /home (see http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Tanner#Sa...pace_on_rootfs)
I couldn't test it yet but if you're going to reflash anyway, please give it a try and let me know whether it worked.

Re: 95.1MB free space in RootFs

Re: 95.1MB free space in RootFs
 

Thanks a lot stevet68 for the instructions you gave and also thanks to Titan for the wonderful script.

Tried it after a full PR 1.3 reflash of firmware & emmc and it has saved me a lot of space on rootfs

Fresh after the reflash without any apps installed and just the default apps I had around 98.3MB free on rootfs but after using the script I now have 114.7MB free on rootfs without any apps installed.

This is freaking amazing. I will monitor the effect of this script on my daily usage and after I install more apps to see how it affects the phone in general.

Thanks again..

The script is easy and lazy solution, but he it works. There exist more universal script: "pkgscan.sh" - it allows you to optify any installed packages whenever custom or nokia ones (be careful while optifing nokia stuff as the script uses no blacklist so wrong decision about some nokia ones may brick your device) - of course you choose which ones to process - and optifies packages file by file which seems more safe than optifing whole directory at once, as directory symlinks makes problem when using ".." as since moving and symlinking another directory becomes "one level up". The script also supports partially working "undo" ability, which you may want to use if you update the packages (since not doing it may leave unneccesary files in /opt/relocated but its not a big problem because it's out of rootfs), or if you know you did a mistake (do it better before you reboot as booting even a partially bricked device without reflash is really hard however possible eg. if you have multiboot install and booting something not maemo works) so doing a mistake is not yet bricking the device.
