After zero-byte-ing the two fota files and moving a lot of stuff user-installed apps to the SD card using the pm setInstallLocation trick, I'm at 214/514 MB used, with 301 MB free (stock ROM).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Seanathan:
Ok, so far for an update:

I've downloaded aCCleaner attempting to clean up some cache. Before the clean I had 45.8 mb free. After the clean I had 46.8 mb free. 1 whoping mb was cleared. So, it cannot be program cache hogging up my precious mb's.

I'm running out of ideas.

To the user above, I have all my programs installed on the SD card already. It doesn't seem like that 0 trick does anything other than allow the apps to be installed on an SD card without root access. So it wouldn't be beneficial to me :(

I'm still confused about this. Technically, with all my apps on the SD card and program cache cleared, shouldn't my available mb's be very similar to stock levels? Granted the only thing taking up space should be text messages and my gmail in boxes.

WTF. Frustrating. Tired of looking at the red triangles and red sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
I dunno how the heck you don't have anymore memory left. But if your really wanted to get that space back. I suggest using Odin and flashing aloneinshadow's Deodexed KB5 Enhanced v2.0 OR download the "fota.zip and extract the files and use root explorer and moving the 2 files and replacing the 2 fota files in the data/fota directory. You'll get about 300mb back.

Here's the link to the fota.zip file and also the TAR for flashing the stock ROM minus the bloat. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12153961&postcount=1

You can also reinstall the bloatware you want afterwards.

Here is the guide on how to use Odin http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
Yeah man idk what you're doing.. the fota trick leaves me with 379mb of free space...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Seanathan:
Sweet! Thanks!

I'm going to have to try that fota trick. Before I do that I'm going to try to explore the main directory and make sure all the programs are in fact on the SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goalyguy33:
I just flashed to the custom rom listed above (worked perfect), also put fota files in /data/fota on sd card. After all is said and done, I lost TouchWiz, (which I love) and my memory is still at 53 mb! It kept all my apps and data, which I was surprised... but I did this only to free up internal memory. Did I do anything wrong or any guesses as to why my memory is still so low? Thans.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goalyguy33:
Got TouchWiz back (just had to choose that default instead of launcher duh) and now memory has gone up to 109 mb free, which is better, but still I was looking for 200+...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goalyguy33:
Here is my newest issue- two things I absolutely loved on the S4G were Program Monitor and Task Manager. Both are now gone (must have gone away with the bloatware). In Titanium Backup the two (along with all the other bloatware) are listed, but with a line through them. There is no way to restore these backups with lines through them. My second thought was to simply reinstall the apk, but when I do this all the phone says is 'Application Cannot Be Installed'. Any ideas on how to get these back? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
New rom being posted. V2.1. Has those 2 apps back plus extra and bugfixes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Seanathan:
Update:

I did the fota mod and WOW! Went from 33.1 mb to 290 mb!!

Amazing.

So, what does the fota files do anyway? Anyone know?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
FOTA = Firmware Over The Air

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amegis:
I just got a myTouch 4g, and I've had issues with the speed of accessing text messages. It takes a good 5+ seconds to access a thread to read or respond to texts.

I should probably note that I switched from a Vibrant and backed up my texts with SMS Backup & Restore App, I have about 9k texts with threads of 400+ messages.

Compared to a BB Bold, the time it takes to access messages for me is a deal breaker. I'm hoping that there is something wrong with my phone as I love everything else about it, but I'm strongly considering switching to a Bold within my 2 week return period...

Has anyone else had issues with the text messaging speed??
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJBunch1228:
Never had any issue like that. But I also don't have that many texts. Back up your texts again and clear the phone and try to see how responsive it is when you don't have any saved on the phone.

Also try something other than the stock app to see if that helps

Failing all of that, go to a t-mobile store and try out another mt4g and see if the problem exists.

Hope any of those helps. Sorry to hear about the troubles.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bighulk666:
You're using the stock messaging app correct? If you are, use Handcent. Handcent archives them better, so each thread loads faster. I too have 8,000+ texts.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amegis:
Deleting them helped somewhat but once a thread has a few hundred messages it starts to slow down.

I'm using the stock app, so I'll give Handcent a try to see if that works. I hope so as I'm starting to like everything else about the device more and more.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ESKIMOn00b:
Any time I bust more than 500 ish in a thread, or about 2k total it becomes sluggish... I just delete them... its whatever, you can save the important SMS somewhere else. Like gmail
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NvMe218:
I think you just have waay too many text.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amegis:
Handcent helped sooo much, the native app is like molasses compared to it.

It still struggles with a large amount of texts but not as much. To solve that I found the "delete old messages" app, which that clears your texts but keeps the last X weeks.

Thanks for all the help! I'm sticking with android now, as the texting is fast enough.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleepyfu:

[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Gimped or not gimped. That is the question. If it is modified from the original spec's then I may consider getting it over the Evo 3d. I want a SD card slot damnit

[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
what sprint needs is a Nexus Epic 4g, with all feutures the epic has and it should of came out in august, lol

Good news if this is true tho maybe it will be easy to port some of the latest roms if this phone is going to be pure google..
[Epic 4G General] flopez76:
If it hits the shelf next week I'll more than likely get it just to test it out and when the 30 days are coming to a end make the decision to keep it or return it. Or better yet just wait and see if we can port GB over.
[Epic 4G General] notoriouspyro:
Sorry y'all... It's not hitting shelves next week. We were actually told the "date" by a vendor rep, but that is one I'd be afraid of getting fired over revealing. I can tell you this much, from what I was told, it's not this month...

[General Questions and Answers] jworley02:
I personally don't like to use themes because I'm a on the go person and making backups everytime I want a a new theme for whenever I get bored of it. It was a lot easier back when I had my jailbroken iPod touch because all the themes you could just turn off and it really wasn't a hassle to do. I think that it would very hard if not impossible to do considering all the different types of phones there are. I do understand that iPhone's and android phones are very different, I'm just wondering if something like this would be possible or if I'm just a stupid noob. Thanks.

But I'm not gonna hold my breath! ROFL!
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
More than one person here has said any official port of GB to the Epic would be far less work than Froyo has been for Sammy and Sprint. But I've always said that's being more hopeful than history warrants us to be. I'll be glad to just get a good Froyo on here without worries.
[Epic 4G General] D`Nyed:
While I have my doubts about Sprint/Samsung actually supporting our phones with OS updates past 2.2; the possibility of the Nexus coming to Sprint and the speed at which they have (supposedly) fixed bugs and moved to release another Froyo update to us has me optimistic this may have some truth to it.

If this happens it could go a long way to make me rethink my never buying another samsung and going back to HTC. Samsung had great hardware. I love it, but I can't deal with this software delay again. If I see evidence I won't have to wait with samsung then I would be welling to give another shot. They need to prove it.
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
I suspect much would be forgiven if Sammy actually accomplished this, it went relatively smoothly, defects were minimal, and the change persisted in the future.

I know I'd forgive and forget. As I posted in another thread awhile back, I'm not vindictive, and it makes no sense to hold a grudge against a company... I only punish myself, not them.

[Epic 4G General] T-980:
I always have believed that if a couple of dev's on this site can pump out a stable rom in a short amount of time WHILE having other jobs and doing this in their free time, there is no reason for any company that PAYS people to do the same job to take as long as these companies do.

As neat as it sounds to have Sprint and Samsung push out the first 2.3 updates in the US, I will not be holding my breath what so ever. I'll stick with custom roms and just Odin back if I have any trouble.

With that said, it'll be nice to see Samsung release this, but then again I just don't care. I love my phone regardless :D

IF it comes that is.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Ok... Flame me if you want to, but I believe it.

You: Omg! No! Sammy will nevurrrr do that!

Yes, they would. They dont want to lose customers and more importantly, if the nexus s 4g rumors are true, it will most likely have the same hardware as the epic because the epic 4g radios arent broken, so they dont need to fix them, and even if they are, samsumg used some of the horrible moment files for us. Anyways, with a nexus s 4g, samsung will have a 2.3.x device with epic hardware, and since they already have the drivers from it, the epic 4g will get 2.3 quick like how the i9000 has official 2.3, even if we dont get it quick, we (the xda community) can get the nexus s 4g software running on the epic really quick.

[Epic 4G General] greatlakesghost:
Totally agree. Samsung is slow, sprint is just as slow if not worse. I started out with blackberry(bowing my head in shame) and they were horrible with them. Rim atleast understood that so they let out leaks on a fairly regular basis for the devs to play with. Now with android, first the moment and now with the epic, sprint is terrible again. And whats even worse with both of them, and where they can stop alot negativity from even starting is if they both just comminicate more with the users. I feel if we had more info, especially on promised updates, it is an easier pill to swallow then being left totally in the dark.

Really like the game, to say it's an Osmos clone does not detract from the fact that it is very enjoyable. Really like the music in the game too, did you also create that, if so do you a link to other music that you've made, if not who made it and where can I hear more of similar.
[Android Apps and Games] Techronico:
This game is not an original idea. Lookup Osmos. It has been out for over a year now. It is on PC and iOS. I still think it is a great clone of the game and the author will make a killing if osmos isnt on android yet and still make a killing if it is more popular.

You may or may not have noticed that busybox utilities that require DNS lookups aren't working (nslookup,traceroute,wget). Here is a simple fix:

I didn't find a resolv.conf so I added one and it started working.

adb remount

adb shell

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /system/etc/resolv.conf

8.8.8.8 is one of Google's public nameservers, you may want to add another for redundancy

Rerun the above echo but make sure to use >>

Thank you so much! I did check for resolv.conf, but since it didn't exist I figured it wasn't used on Android. :P

The weird part is wget used to work. Then one day it stopped ["bad address"]. So I manally specified /system/xbin/wget [instead of /system/bin/wget I think] and it worked! But then I guess I upgraded busybox or something and it stopped working again so I googled and found this post. Thanks again.

[Nook Color General] PGibbons999:
Did you have to use CWR?
[Nook Color General] nordemoniac:
I have the same exact problem.

Me and my girlfriend just bought a Nook Color each, and rooted it with CM7.

We have the 3.0.0.6 bootloader/recovery thing.

The problem occurs when we drain the battery (we usually do before charging to preserve the battery), when we connect the power (the Nook is off) it says "battery charge to low to power on, try again in 15 minutes", and after a couple of minutes, it turns on, showing "Touch the future of reading." Normally after this we would see "Loading", then "Android_", but instead it is locked on "Touch the future of reading."

If I turn it off, it turns it self on again, and it is stuck on the same place. I let it be for 1 hour, still the same. As I'm not to fond of having the screen on all the time, I tried turning it off, then quickly press "Power + Volume Up + n". This started the nook in recovery mode, giving me the message that "install failed, turn off and on again" (which I guess is because I have deleted the original nook partitions). After this, I turned it off, and then it was completely off, not booting up again. Then I tried holding power to power it on normally, and it worked.

The power was connected at all times.

What is wrong here? It seems like the nook doesn't like being off when charging, meaning you have to be careful to never drain the power 100 %, or turn it off when it's below 10 %, because then it won't turn on.

Strange thing.
