its only until stored until the installation is running? Because now my cache folder is emypt!

Yeah somtimes i find the odd .apk in there though, anyway if you want the .apk for an installed app, just grab it from /data/app/

Or use something like estrong app manager to to backup all your apk
Then you gave easy access to them whenever you need them

Viper Rom Synergy 5.0

I would like to install some new fonts on this phone and I was trying to install it from the Viper Store which it did installed on the SD card. Now what do I do from there. Need help?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

Fonts on Froyo are stored in /system/fonts/
The two files to overwite using Root Explorer or w/e would be DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf. Make sure to copy the originals in case you ever want to revert.

What can I delete?

Right I have just been looking through the files on my SD card and noticed theres loads me files I have no idea what view are. My question is are all the important system files in the data folder? I'm on MIUI data2ext Rom so obviously its on my SD card. For example I i go into file manager and there is 3gb me stuff in the misc folder. I have no idea what all that is in there but it doesn't seem to be the data stuff.
Thanks

I'm not sure as to your system files as I've never used that rom. But I've read an been told that SD/lazylist folder can get quite big but is safe to delete as needed.

I am sure, nobody understands why you want to delete these files. Tell us.

Because I have 3gb of files that don't seem to be important. All I want to know is what files can't I delete in terms of the system files?

I'd be careful deleting data files directly. 3GB sounds like a hell of a lot, so I'd take a look through the application listing in Settings > Applications and see what's taking up so much space. Doesn't hurt to clean up here and there anyhow if you're careful

Deleting HTC Widgets from internal memory

Is there a way that you can remove certain HTC Widgets from the phone to free up some of the memory? Can I use es file manager and go to /system/app and just delete apk's from there or will that cause problems? Thanks
Sent from my AT100 using Tapatalk

If you've rooted, yeah you might be able to do that. I think you'd need to root to access the system files (not sure, don't know about phones just thinking logically) and then it should be possible.

Rooted - File Explorer - System mount - delete those Files with the ending widget.

Yes you can.
I would use titanium backup.
And backup before deleting so if you run into issues you can restore individual apps.
Although es file will do just fine, just make sure in the es settings to give root access and mount file system.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread but it's kinda relevant.
I tried installing a few additional widgets through HTC Hub. The downloads were successful but the install wasn't. And this took up some (large actually) amount of space off my internal.
So, what do I delete and from where to get rid of these unwanted files? I don't really care about it not being installed, just don't want it bloating up my memory space. Thanks in advance, and I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere.

I'm sorry but Bump.
Any help would be appreciated with the above issue?

They should be installed to
/system/app. if your are using apps2sd with your Rom, look under /system/sd/app. Just look for the name of the widget u downloaded and delete it from there. I use es file explorer. U must go into its settings and allow root explorer and mount, to be able to do this. Also try wiping your dalvik cache in cwm.

Enter the recovery (mount the sdcrad as a mass storage device) and move all data from that 0 folder to the root. Delete the 0 folder. Put the rom on the sdcard too. Flash the boot.img , make a full wipe and install the rom

Please explain in deatil mate, i am a noob at such things..... :silly:

Copy the rom to the sdcard, open the rom.zip and copy the boot.img from it to the fastboot folder.
Put the phone in the bootloader and flash the boot.img. unhook the cable and go into the recovery. Make a full wipe and install the rom

What about the data in the SD card??
When mounted on the computer there is no '0' folder. But on the phone I see sdcard0. The method in the CM10.1 thread also doesn't work.
It says " can't cd to /sdcard/0/"

Its a mirror of the system of some kind. Dont worry to much about it, just mount the sdcard in the recovery and copy the rom.zip to the root of the sdcard.
