App Install Limit Be Gone: Fair Dinkum App Limit App
App Install Limit Be Gone: Fair Dinkum App Limit App
Few things inspire more vexation than the App Install Limit on the Palm Pre. Getting "Sorry, Not Enough Memory. Please delete an application you have installed to make room" on a device that's as modern and supposedly future-oriented as the Pre is like discovering the engine from a 1977 Gremlin in your brand new Tesla Roadster. It's like being limited by whatever's left on flash memory after the OS (hi BlackBerry users!). It's just not right. Well, enter one of the luminaries of webos-internals, Rod Whitby, who has done some digging and discovered that this app install limit appears to be arising from some odd programming decisions: Yes, that’s right. A call to queryInstallCapacity spawns a new program (”du”) once for each package returned by “ipkg -o /var list”. No wonder the UI hangs for 30 seconds or more!If that is gibberish to you, don't worry, it's fairly close to that for us as well. The good news is that we (er they) can fix it, we have the technology: the Fair Dinkum App Limit App. To install it, you'll need to head into Preware on your Pre (be sure you've fully and properly upgraded it first). Find it under "List of Everything" and badda boom - your app install limit should be gone. Discuss and get support for the app here, express joy here in the comments. originally found here: Codehttp://www.precentral.net/app-install-limit-be-gone-fair-dinkum-app-limit-patch |
