Low Disk Space Issue

---

Today, I tried installing an app and got an error message with no specifics. I looked in the /system/data folder and found that it was low on space. It says 1MB of 258MB free. I uninstalled a few apps and was able to install the app I wanted.

So, my question is how do I solve this problem for the long run.

I have Android 2.2 stock, rooted.

that doesn't sound right at all. the /system partition in small and it's in that range because it only requires there to be room for the rom which should be read only and never changes, there is very little extra room on the /system partition stock but that doesn't matter because you dont install new apps here to begin with and app data is stored in /data/data while apps go in /data/app.

the /data partition is 1gb or so and very hard to fill with apps, you can also move apps to the 14gb internal sd storage.

i dont know why you have a /system/data folder, i haven't run froyo in a while but that sounds wrong. i don't know why you are still on froyo but you should have no issues installing apps based on storage. there is a bug that was giving that error because of some settings in the rom that didn't agree with certain versions of the market though....

Sorry, I didn't provide correct info. I intended to say /system/app folder. It has APK files for all the apps. I also noticed that to install an app, I could just place it in that directory and it would be installed.

Any other questions/insights? I need HDMI and Bluetooth, hence no custom ROMs for me. I did install GB but found it to be little unstable. Has there bee. Any progress on this in recent times?

Thanks, I got ETHEREAL from jscott and works superb. I got back to custom ROMS, had never thought I will, but here I am. Issue has been fixed and what a piece of crap the stock ROM really was.
