Know what? Run gameboid, load a game, exit from the game, turn off the gameboid app, run the task manager, "kill the running apps" and u'll have 45 mb free ram.

But that isn't the point.

If u kill/delete all those apps mentioned back there, I think that sync the contacts, gmail, calendar or whatever will not work. Can u try if those apps are working?

obviously they work, the only thing i didnt check is if sync with pc suite works, i never used that.

syncing with google accounts, exchange, facebook accounts works well.

[Guest gusthy]

Ok. I'll give you another week. If you don't complain that some apps are broken then I'll look into making a script that removes these :(

OK :( But you should wait two weeks, my Pulse also got its broken USB-illness :P

A short comment on this: The G1 Eclair rom doesnt contain this syncxxxx things.

Ok I'm going to remove those files also and see what happens to my phone! The rom I'm running has some issues anyway so don't think it'll make any difference if I get some more but I'd like to know if any syncing breaks at all.

to be honest, I only checked manual sync. that worked fine. Also, I checked market updates.

will you please share your results?

[Guest vasillek]

Woooooooow !!!

I deleted all recommended files...

using flb 1.0, with a2sd 2.7.5 RC1...

a2sd lowmem-optimum

and this "tweak"

=

35-51!MB free

I must say that this setup seems the most stablest and fastest rom for now!!!!!!!

What is lowmem-optimum option?

[Guest vasillek]

What is lowmem-optimum option?

its new feature of a2sd 2.7.5 RC1 (or maybe new implementation of old feature =) )

So far I've not seen Mr Forceclose or his friend Acore. :(

Impressive!

[Guest goce.nakov]

Where to search for those files so I can delete/rename them?

[Guest gusthy]

/system/bin

"If you dont use obex"

What actually is this? Some googling suggests it is possibly related to USB syncing, would you still be able to USB mount your SD card to a PC if you removed this stuff?

it is a file transfer protocol via bluetooth, typically used when transferring data via two mobile devices. It is not related w USB mount, it works as usual.

[Guest zenchan]

Ah, thanks for that!

So what's the best (safest :)) way to go about doing this?

[Guest gusthy]

you can do it from adb shell or a terminal.

method 1:

go to recovery mode

adb remount

rename all the files like this;

mv syncobex syncobex.save

then reboot

method 2;

go to normal mode

adb remount

kill and remove all files like this:

mv syncobex syncobex.save

killall syncobex

(first mv then kill)

method 3:

same as 2, but from terminal:

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

then mv and kill

[Guest goce.nakov]

Even with those hacks I still can't manage to run Nimbuzz and Browser at same time...nimbuzz just kept killing.

I don't have AutoKiller though but Darktremor a2sd it is set to optimum.

Using FLB 1.2... they are removed buy default.

The problem is with Nimbuzz. It just uses too much memory. If u use it for skype, then use it for skype only and use some lighter app (like ebuddy) for other protocols. :)

I use it for Skype and FB

[Guest D-D-]

Oh well...

Fring was our only hope actually.

Maybe after those complains at Skype, they will allow it again for the Fring guys to get Skype back with the video calls...

hi

when i try mount remount command in method 3 it says no such file?

maybe you forgot the "/"?

[Guest zenchan]

Just want to say I've removed the files in question and applied the autokiller settings on page 1 . . .

Foreground: 6MB

Visible: 8MB

Secondary server: 12MB

Hidden app: 15MB

Content provider: 20MB

Empty app: 25MB

. . . and it really is a hugely impressive improvement in terms of multiple things staying in memory! :)
