Remove unused applications

THe phone comes with some applications pre-installed. Some you might not use, have found better replacements for or are demo application without much use. The pre-installed applications are placed in the folder '/system/app'. See the page on deleting applications for instructions how to remove them and what applications to remove. See the page on the console for more instructions. Or look at 2.1 SafeList here edited by Berlin20Spandau

Remove PC Companion

When plugged into the usb port of the computer, the phone gives the option to install PC Companion on the computer. This software stays stored on the phone. If you remove it yourself, you will free up some space and lose the message to install the software when plugging in.

rm /data/dop.iso

Move ringtones

The .ogg ringtones, alarms and notification sounds are stored in the memory, placing them on the SD card frees up about 4Mb.

mkdir /sdcard/media/audio
busybox mv /system/media/audio/* /sdcard/media/audio

Remove html help files

You probably removed EManuel.apk already. But the whole manual, in all it's languages is also kept on the SD card, in '/sdcard/others/.emanual'. Remove it with:

rm -R /sdcard/others/.emanual

Remove tombstones

Remove unneeded crash dumps from /data/tombstones:

rm /data/tombstones/*

Move some apps from /data/app to /system/app

Move big or non-upgradable applications from data to system to free up some space:

busybox mv /data/app/name.apk /system/app/name.apk
