i havend read all posts .... sorry if this has been asked before,...

is there a specific folder where the apps being installed??
is there only one or there are more of them??
is it possible to move this folder(s) to mydocs or /home/user/ and symlink to it?? that would solve the "no space @ rootfs problem"

Apps are installed to different places, depending on what they do, whether they're optified, what data files they include, etc. Moving them will also depend on the app - if it's a single large binary, library, or datafile, or a directory full of files, then it's easy enough to move. Some applications contain hundreds of files installed all over the place though, making it far more difficult.

And, of course, if an app has been optified then all of this should have been taken care of already.

yea, this script also bugged up my phone. none of my themes worked after. I just ran the script as is, didnt mess around with any symlinks or change directories/folders.

i had to reflash. good luck..

Right reflashed my phone, and my rootfs is at 88 % used, havent got enough space to install the maemo update, is there any way of physically moving stuff from rootfs, also any way of actually seeing whats in it?

There's the Python relocation script that makes it free enough to reflash.

Also, I find it very odd because all my updates were OTA, also, I updated other phones OTA and they worked just fine. With no 3rd party apps it should Just Work.

make sure you put it in root directory if using USB > mass storage
NOT documents folder

/home/user/MyDocs

unplug phone

then in xterminal:

root
cd /home/user/MyDocs/
sh moveroot.sh
i did that but now when i try to install an application or uninstall one it gives me a message "operation failed"

Hi, I'm the author of the script and I just accidentally found this thread.
I'm glad that it helped (some of) you.
As some people have problems with themes and some forget to run it as root
I have modified the script to keep the themes on NAND and to check for the root user.

Upgrading the firmware OTA after using the script is supposed to work.
If you reflash you should run "rm -rf /home/var /home/usr" as root before using the script again.

will removing those directories after running the script make any difference?

yes, it would probably brick your device.
If you have run the script and then upgrade the firmware using the flasher,
those directories would contain the files from the old firmware.

However, I just realized that my script would automatically remove those old directories
(I've written it a long time ago...).
so please forget my statement in the previous post; you don't need run the "rm -rf ..." command.
