Thnx this work but look .... I need to increase the "Memory for installable aplications"

Re: How can I increase the memory to install applications?
 

And just what does this do? Can it hurt existing installed apps?

Re: How can I increase the memory to install applications?
 

autoclean: removes all stored archives in your cache for packages that can not be downloaded anymore

autoremove: packages that are installed as dependency of an already uninstalled package and removes them. This is used to clean up unused dependencies that remain on your system.

Re: How can I increase the memory to install applications?
 

No you can`t hurt installed apps
Is just clean the temp apps

Re: How can I increase the memory to install applications?
 

not an expert but i dont think that is possible without repartitioning the filesystem. but that is fraught with risk...

i believe there is sufficient memory to install as many "useful" apps as you may practically want...

Yes i think this will help me! Is necesary flash the phone? I don`t wanna flash it :S

Re: How can I increase the memory to install applications?
 

Read my post from 2nd to the last page... That's the most noob friendly tutorial no need for linux commands etc. And yes no other options need to reflash it.
On pr1.1 there's an option where you don't need to reflash but it's not working anymore.

Re: How can I increase the memory to install applications?
 

If i flash it i will loose apps, games, contacts, photos, music, video, etc?

Re: How can I increase the memory to install applications?
 

What does it say when you do:
df -h
on CLI?

Re: How can I increase the memory to install applications?
 

A list of information about my storage or something like this!

Re: How can I increase the memory to install applications?
 

Yes, because currently I do not quite understand what memory your are short of. Maybe root fs is too full to load deb-files?

Re: How can I increase the memory to install applications?
 

yes since you need to flash the EMMC directly.. But uhm I think you could still back it up?

Re: How can I increase the memory to install applications?
 

Look i just instal Ned For Speed Undercover, Sisms 3, Monopoly and Shrek 3 game....And i wanna install more games and when i try install it says : Operation failed... I uninstal the last game install and make some space and after that is work!

So i need increase the memory to install more apps .deb

Re: How can I increase the memory to install applications?
 

Operation failed ..... (what?)
What is the full error message?

If you do:
df -h / ; du -sh /var/cache/apt/archives
...and put the full given output here, we may know the problem is that your rootfs is just too full to receive big deb-package. (Then it will help to soft link archives directory momentarily to /home/user/MyDocs/archives

Re: How can I increase the memory to install applications?
 

just hexedit the emmc image (i have mine at 5gb) and reflash - to me it is hte most simple and least dangerous. Just spend an evening backing up and restoring and rebackup your stuff.

You only have to do it once after all.

If you have repartitioned your system before, you could use this.

He is installing bigsized games on his n900. So the 2GB home partition is filling up and becoming full since it's just 2GB. Transferring those games on a vfat partition would render it useless since you need execute permissions to play it which means it needs to be on a ext3 filesystem which is limited to 2GB.

Re: How can I increase the memory to install applications?
 

You CAN actually enable those execute permissions though it's considered a 'security risk'.
