I've recently rooted and flashed my Desire with LeeDrOiD 2.2F Apps2SD+
So far I'm very impressed and the phone is working very smoothly indeed.
However, I naturally have a few questions.
1) I have noticed that the Street View on Google application doesn't work.
It doesn't show up in my "All Apps" menu. Yet it shows up in my market downloads as installed, and when I go to settings > applications > manage applications it also shows up with a file size of 313KB.
I can't open the app via the market download (I can't install it either, as both options are greyed out) or Titanium when I look at my apps.
How can I rectify this? The only thing I can think of is to remove it via Titanium and attemp to reinstall if I wish to have the app?
Or am I missing something simple?
2) Are there any tips or tricks for keeping the internal memory as free as possible? Eg. Is there anything I should clear out regularly to free up space?
I've noticed it increases and decreases ever so slightly - I think it's increased by around 8-10MB since I've been installing my apps etc - is this just par for the course of installing apps? Or can I manage my internal storage to ensure the phone runs as smoothly as possible? I currently have 125MB free according to Titanium, and I think I had 130-odd immediately after flashing.
3) I know all apps and their cache are stored on the SD card. When cleaning the cache from an app, do I have to look for it using something like Astro? Or can I go to applications > manage applications > and then clear the cache of my app of choice. Will this then erase the cache any cache from that app being stored in the partition?
4) The ROM I flashed comes with an app called AdFree. It seems a great app, as it doesn't show any ads on my apps or in the browser. Do I need to keep this app updated, or do anything so it recognises new ads etc? Or can I just leave it as it is?
5) I've noticed there is an option in Titanium to clear Dalvik cache. Should I clear this? If so, how often?
I'm sure I'll have more questions eventually, so apologies in advance. With a bit of luck, this thread may shed some light for others - particularly using a LeeDrOiD ROM or Apps2SD+.
