Installer claims "low disk space", makes demands. Help please.

[applecupcakes]

I jailbroke my iPod Touch and have been using Installer to acquire some applications. A few times while trying to download a new app, Installer gives me a "low disk space" error message and suggests that I try deleting some photos/videos. The thing is, I don't have a lot of either and of the 8GB I have available on my Touch, just under 3GB is actually being used.

Could this be an error related to Installer? Should I restore my Touch? Orrrr am I actually running low on 'disk space' and if that is that case, how do I fix this problem?

which is seperate from photos and videos (I've always wondered why it said that?)

Not a way you can fix it unless you make a new ipsw and restore it making the partition for apps bigger.

It's in the advanced settings on pwnagetool, I think the default space is 500mb. I used 1024mb.

Awesome! Although I don't really understand how to do what you've said here, I will archive it and get someone to help me out, haha. Thanks!

haha when you generate a new restore file with pwnage tool, you click on advanced (at the top left) and then when it gets to the screen where you have all the buttons double click general and then there's a slider at the bottom to change the partition size.

Okay excellent, that sounds easy enough...
But most importantly: what is pwnage tool?? Do I get it from installer or is it something else altogether? Sorry, I'm kind of a noob, haha.

There are two portions of the iPod Touch/iPhone hard drive. I have an 8GB touch so one portion is 300MB and the other portion is about 7550MB. The 300MB portion is used for applications/firmware. When it says you are running out of disk space, simply download BossTool form installer (everyone has to do this eventually after jailbreaking). Open BossTool and choose relocate applications. This will moves the apps to the larger portion of the hard drive.

Sorry, but are you using Installer or Cydia?

Has the new Installer even been released yet?
