What is the best way to keep my internal memory low I am rooted but dont really want to move any stock apps because of future updating?
there is no other way then.Im not sure 100% but if you use Move2SD Enabler you can move the system apps you dont want to SDCard,i am NOT sure if you will still be able to update..
Move apps to sd
Type the following two lines in the terminal window and press Enter after each line:
adb shell
pm setInstallLocation 2
Now on your phone go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All.
Press hardware Menu button and select Sort by Size.
Tap on each app that is taking significant amount of space and tap Move to SD card button. Press hardware Back button and repeat.
(optional) To change the default installation location for new apps back to the internal phone memory, go back to your terminal window and type:
pm setInstallLocation 0
(important) Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and disable USB debugging. Leaving USB debugging enabled makes your phone vulnerable (e.g. lock pattern can be reset).
Enjoy!
You can buy titanium backup pro, it has a few tricks, and it cleans up daviks cache for extra 50 or so MB, or you can move the entire cache by following a thread in the dev section. I think

Anything that can be done in ADB can be done in a terminal emulator. ADB is nothing more than a remote terminal.

If your using a GSM play it's simple.
1) use flashtool to flash recommended official rom first
2) download CM7
3) flash CM7 kernel from fastboot.
4) boot into recovery and flash rom

Hi
I installed froyo on my HTC Desire.
I want to force apps to my SD card.
I searched in google and I found that I should use this command:
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2
I know how to use adb commands.
but where should I use this command? Should I use it in FASTBOOT or Recovery or on froyo itself?
Thanks

Its easier to use the Updated Spare Parts or Market Access to change it, no need to use the commands.
But I think you can use it while you are running the phone if you want to do it that way.
not in fastboot and not in recovery.
use it while the system is running.
adb shell pm is ProgramManager and wont run in Fastboot or Recovery.
but dont forget. pm InstallLocation 2 will kill all your widgets

Which version of FroYo are you running, it is included in DeFrost, but the version that comes from MoDaCo has the older version.

But I still cant shell into device while its in recovery mode?
Anyone help?
Did you unplug the phone then plug it back in once you went into recovery (adb devices after that). Otherwise it will say offline. After that:
Cyanogenmod Barebones has the code to remove the apps (and which ones you can remove safely) from adb or terminal.

If you open the start menu on your computer and right click computer, click properties you should go to some menu and in the top left it will say device manager I think, then you will go to another menu search for other devices or your phones name which should be something like don't Ericson 4.0.A.2.... etc. Something beginning with 4 and has dots a zero and A. Lol

Sorry but that wasn't even relevant.... to use adb you need android sdk.
move apps to sd? command is
adb shell
setinstall location or something like that.
move files to sd is
adb push filename /sdcard
thank me if I helped.

download the android sdk or a adb package.
extract/install the package/sdk
download adb via the sdkmanager if using the sdk
then load adb.exe via cmd e.g shift + right click - open command window here.
type 'adb shell'
(make sure usb debuggin is on on the phone and usb plugged in.)
then type 'pm setInstallLocation 2'
then type 'reboot'
then type 'exit'
all without quotes.
Still sounds so complex! Lol, will try though. Thanks

Need the SDK and adb I don't know that the tool kit has it. If it does. Don't this. Mount /data in clockwork mod under mounts and storage. Then hook up the phone and do this
Code:
adb push name-of-rom.zip /data/media
then unmount and the rom should be on your sdcard.

should i need to install
Java Development Kit, JDK
Integrated Development Environment, IDE
ADT Plugin for Eclipse
before the SDK?
and how about the adb?
adb stand for Android Debug Bridge?
should i also need to install it ?
Just need to install the latest JDK then install the android SDK. Make sure to install the android SDK to your C:\ drive or whatever your main directory is. So it should be C:\android-sdk\ then install it. Once that's done open up the SDK application and install the platform tools at the top. Then take your rom.zip and put it in the android-sdk\platform-tools folder. Then in that folder right click + shift and open command prompt or terminal here. Then do what I said before.

i have install sdk now, and put jb-takju_del_install_recovery.zip into the android-sdk\platform-tools folder..after that, i dont understand the others steps....and how about the adb..
In that folder right click while holding shift and select "open command prompt here" once you have a command prompt open boot into recovery and go into mounts and storage. Mount /data. Plug the phone in. Then type this into the command prompt.
Code:
abd push jb-takju_del_install_recovery.zip /data/media
Hit enter
Then wait while it pushes the rom to the phone should say done... then unplug and unmount /data. Then the rom will be on the sdcard flash it like normal.

Because you haven't installed them yet....
Jeez... you need to install the platform tools.
And NO I mean using explorer... open my computer open the c drive. Then find the android-sdk folder then go into the platform-tools folder ONCE you install them. Then do the right click deal inside the FOLDER.
Sorry patience is running very thin its late....

Well if you can't turn on your phone, then your phone is bricked, and all of this was for naught! Your best bet would be a USB jig or something, if your phone isn't even turning on. Have you tried leaving it on the charger for like an hour or two? Or have you tried switching/getting a new battery?

Alright so I was an idiot and wiped data and internal storage...I figured I could just mount the phone like I could my Thunderbolt, but apparently not. I have adb installed and currently been going to platform-tools folder and opening command window...type adb devices and it shows my device in recovery...which is good. However as soon as I try to do "adb push C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\baldwinguy77_toro_aosp_011913-120824-signed.zip" and it doesn't do anything and just scrolls through all the available commands you can do...I have tried multiple variations of that and nothing seems to work. Help me please, as I need my phone working and I have been trying to figure this out for about an hour now.
