Install no more applications??
 
N900 allows applications to be installed on the 2GB application memory. If users have installed applications that fill up the 2GB application memory and they need to install some more applications what are they supposed to do? Could someone let me know how I could install the application on the remaining 27 GB memory? I've heard people have installed over 50 apps and games on their n900 without an external SD card and I can't figure out how they do it. Could someone help me please?

Backup all your data before doing any thing and only use Solution 1, other solutions will brick a device in PR1.2 or superior.

Thanks for the reply I'll try this out and let you know. However, if I swap the MyDocs and home partition will I be able to install only 2GB worth photos, videos and music since MyDocs stores all that data right?

Yes, only 2GB will be accessible via usb etc ... (you can also move your multimedia files to /home/user/ but it is a bit tricky to read them, or you can use a micro SD card normally)

Is there no possible way to have one large partition so I could install applications, games, photos, videos, music, etc in one partition? So in that case I wouldn't have to limit the installation of my applications nor my multimedia files.
