hi guys. got some help about bloatware and system memory.
Bloatware :
- How to delete bloatware clean. as one of my friend said that if we only delete the apk, we still be left with the dependencies, data, lib etc.
- Is there universal tool to delete unwanted bloatware, since I already tried searched here, and all I found are there's only script for different brand and type.
System memory :
- What happen if we got our system memory full (beside we can't install new apps).
- Can we re-size our system memory (for android which doesn't have SD-Card slot).
- Is it true that it's better to keep all apps on system apps, rather than move it to SD-Card.
I know for some of you here, this question sounds simple. but this can really help for fresh android user to avoiding chaos.
Thanks for the time and answers.

Hi Guyse,
I'm having a very strange problem with my a70.
My system memory is getting fuller and fuller. Usually, I had about 60 - 70 MiB of empty storage left.
Since yesterday, I got the low memory message a few times. Uninstalled a few apps, everything was ok again.
Low memory message again.
After doing this a couple of times, I checked my system memory with
DiskUsage:
Data 299 MiB
--------------------------
Applications 89,1 MiB
System Data 187,2 MiB
Free Space 23,2 MiB
That is way too much System Data, I thought. And I was right.
I work in a retail store. Unboxed a brand-new A70, installed 2.326, looked up empty Storage - 235 MiB !
So the original Android needs only 64 MiB - that's a huge difference.
I already used Cachecleaner, bought me exactly 1.5 MiB.
Any idea how to solve this Problem?
I'd be grateful for every hint.
The only things changed in the last days before this happened:
- Updated to 2.326
(But I guess more users would report this if it was a bug)
- Finally got an prepaid Credit Card and went wild on the market.
(I have a slightly strange feeling that the downloaded apk's from the market are stored in the system memory, but can't go further in because of missing root. and knowledge. and why didn't I experience this problem sooner when downloading demos from the market ?)
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
pintness
I have the same problem with my A101IT. It says I still have 335mb left and i started downloading and installing some apps and the message said low on disk space. So I started deleting all the apps. And now it's saying I have 160mb left.... It should give back atleast 250mb space but it didn't......
I was having this problem, and tracked it down to an application 'Perfect Viewer' which was building image cache in the system memory (about 30MB). After contacting the author, he moved the cache to SD storage and the problem was resolved. You may have a similarly misbehaving application. Go to Settings->Applications->Manage applications->All and hit Menu->Sort by size. Check each application to see how much data they have stored. If you can, move it to internal storage. If you can't, and it's in the tens of MBs, contact the author - or just uninstall it and use an alternative.
Try app2sd

As I wrote, I already used CacheCleaner, didn't bring much.
My biggest application is 5 MiB on the system partition.
I still think my date\system folder is way too big. Can someone please check the size on their device? (You can do it with DiskUsage from the market; start and choose "App Storage")
Thanks
It looks like /cache folder is mounted on /data partition...
If you root your device and you clean /cache folder you probably will have back all your lost space... In this folder there are downladed apks from market app that are cached for the install but are not cleaned by the system after the installation...
Try also to delete all dex file from /data/dalvik-cache
Then reboot...
The reboot will be very slow because dex file will be recreated... but dex from old apps no more present on the device will be cleaned up .

damn, I was afraid of something like that.
Never read about this kind of behaviour before, is it a general bug in android?
Is there any possibility to fix this without rooting? I don't want to lose my warranty and temp root would not work if I understand this correct. If there would be any for 2.326.

Pint

Temp root would give you the possibility to clear out the cache since it's on the /data partition.
Archangel is reported to work sometimes on 2.3.26 you can always try.
It really works!! Thank you!!
Hey all!
Today earlier I was reading some topic when looking for a fix to the /system low space problem, and then someone said to use this program and/or this program.
I have a few questions about this, since I'm sort of noob in these details.
1) Is this the only thing I can do to get throught this /system problem? (removing unwanted APKs, etc)
2) Do I have to use both of the programs above or they do the same thing?
3) Is there any list of safe-removal APKs for Jelly Bean? I found lists about it, but for other phone models.
4) I'm watching this thread very close. I already use Rashed's CM10 and he is promising an update to the next 48 hours. When this new build comes, am I going to remove all those APKs and that blablabla to reduce the ROM size again?
Thanks in advance!
1. Yes its the only thing you can do (freeing up space in system partition)
2. Use one program which can move apps from system to data partition
3. Phone model doesn't matter, all phones have almost same core applications
4. Yes before flashing try to reduce size of your ROM, if not already done by Rashed
These are screenshots on my 5830i system and data directories. I know you can integrated update into system with link2sd, but for these it just causes the service to halt. I have to restore it to get it working again.
Since there isn't much memory on the phone, having multiple copies of the same service (old and new) is taking up a lot of storage space.
What can I do to have one copy of latest version of these two processes, without causing service crashes?
I was thinking, if I uninstall updates. Disable wifi. Move processes to user app. Delete anything left over in system. Re-enable wifi, let play services and play store update. It should re-write \data thus just having one copy, the latest? I could then either leave it in data. Or if I move it as a system app, it it re-download another copy? Or have similar crashes?
ROM is Simplicity V5 with 5.2 update.
All these files are necessary and will get updated anyway until you modify the apk to resist updating. And what do you need system storage for? System storage and data storage are on two different partitions.
I think my solution has worked. Instead of 5 files, I now have two. So saved quite a bit of space, and nothing has halted since doing it. Since the phone has very low storage, try and trim the fat.
So now just have one of each file, and latest version in \system. None in user. Must have saved 20MB?
How do I change those buttons? They're too dark.

Read this guide and use SystemUI.apk Instead if framework-res.apk as it contains status bar icons
Hi all.
I have a rooted Nubia X.
The problem is that in order the google apps to work, the only options is they to be moved as system apps.
I have done that with Link2SD and everything was fine, until the tool showed that the framework is updated and offered to integrate update into the system.
I have done that, but during the process, complained "out of space". I have checked and it was 0% free (before - there was).
What i did is to remove some bloatware other apps to convert to user. There was enough space (in my opinion).
But again during the process again ran out of space. And again took everything available and left 0% free.
At the end there is a lot of place somehow locked.
As you can see in the attachment a lot of space is occupied there.
My question is. Can you give me some ideas what to do, so I can remove that parasite files.
Thank you in advance!
Bro.
The first image appear to be broken.

Hello all,
my Question is:
How to Embedding a custom APK inside Android 11 Stock ROM as part of the System?
I want this APK to survive a Reset to factory settings and to be installed again as part of the system no matter how many times I reset to factory settings or wipe/format the device!
My device is: Samsung SM-M315F/DSN
should this APK goes inside:
"system\system\priv-app" or "system\system\app" or "/product/priv-app/" or "/product/app/"
I need help achieving this please on Android 11?
I can Root my Device if it's needed at first, but the idea is after I do all the necessary steps for embedding this APK into system that I'll UNROOT my device.
thats it. I hope to find help please.
thanks.
If you wipe / format an Android device by nature all data housed therein are lost - Android OS included, hence it doesn't matter where the APK in question gets installed to.
but jwoegerbauer, when I reset to factory settings android device already gets back to system defaults and preinstalled stock apps!
thats what I need, is to make my APK part of the stock apps, so when I reset to factory its installed as well.
eg. same like google play store, samsung members, galaxy store, etc.
these apps above are part of the system and no matter how many times u reset, they will be installed.
thats my idea..
and btw, thx for your ADB-FASTBOOT-INSTALLER
Correct: A Factory Reset does NOT affect Android's core components such as system-apps ( along with apps pre-loaded by your carrier and/or manufacturer into the system partition ).
So converting / installing an user-app to / as a system-app might be a good idea. But this requires device's Android must got rooted.
it is rooted already but thats not the idea.... coz it's very easy.. all I need to do is using a root file explorer and create a folder with the apk file in it inside app folder inside /system/system/app or /priv-app or /app and give proper permission to folder and to file inside it and reboot and this APK will be installed and be part of the system and even with reset it'll keep be installed
this is not what I'm aiming for or is not my question.
my question is for EDITING stock rom itself and embedding this APK inside it, without the need to root
or
even if I do so with this APK using root method, I then need to UNROOT my device, and if I do so, this private or user APK I installed/embedded will be lost.
and I dont want to lose it.
any help?
used CRB doesn't help and now S.U.R says Format not supported!
