I am certain it’s because the space, i have hidden apps without spaces within their names, however with the ones with spaces eg “Optus Zoo” it doesn’t seem to work

Hey Michael,

Great posts recently. Keep it up. Now that I’m back from vacation and got PR1,1 using NSU, I’m gonna try some of these.

On the hidden icon hack, what do you do to unhid them if you change your mind?

Download N9Tweak from N9-Apps. One of the hacks is allowing for Skype on N950. Haven’t tried as I have no need, but that is your best bet

Prior and after the above commands if you can’t still uninstall an app.

Try from the terminal:

devel-su
(enter your password, or the default if you haven’t changed it: rootme)
apt-get autoclean
apt-get autoremove
apt-get clean

Post your the output of command: df -h
Prior and after the above commands if you can’t still uninstall an app.

I’ve got a problem that’s bugging me for this past 2 days.. As the memory for installing application is limited to 4.2gb on my black 64gb N9, I’m already breaching that limit (3.9gb) hence i can’t install any new apps no matter how small its size in relation to mb left for installing an app.
And the problem got worse coz I can’t even uninstall any of my current apps, no matter what size they are, like the N9tweak(20+kb) or GTRacing (360.3mb). Message I get when trying to uninstall from app manager is ‘ Can’t delete. Please restart device and try again. If problem persists, please contact application developer for assistance.’ When I long press an icon n click on the red X, message ‘ Installation failed. Not enough disk space to install app. Uninstall other applications to free some disk space.’ But I’m not trying to install the app!!! Am I stuck here forever or is there a way out of this, other than reflashing the device? And is there any way that I can increase the partition for installing apps? Thanx in advance guys and have a Happy New Year..
