Anybody using KTrove?

[infidel]

Hello, everyone. I was wondering if anyone is using Kallisti's Trove to run Z apps from memory cards. I've just started using it, and it _appears_ to be working quite well, though I can't tell how much memory I'm saving by using it. I'm not surprised that the Z doesn't show an increase in available internal storage, since KTrove makes sure the Z 'thinks' that the apps are still in internal memory.

Does anyone know of a way to see what my actual internal memory usage is when KTrove's doing its thing? And, if the Z is convinced that the apps are still in internal memory, doesn't that mean that I'll eventually run out of internal memory when there's still, in fact, plenty left? If that's the case, then I don't really see the point of using KTrove at all, except perhaps to cut down on my already abysmal battery life.

By the way, it's an sl5500, running Sharp ROM 3.13.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You should see the amount of free space go up after moving an app to a card.  In my case I had to edit the KTrove script to use the CF as default otherwise it got mixed up and diddnt hook the apps up to the symlinks created.

For example putting Doom to CF with a Ultimate Doom WAD saves about 12MB off of the internal space.

PS did get some funnies with MPlayer that occasionaly required me to un Trove and uninstall then reinstall then retrove.

Hmm. In my case, it's like nothing ever happened. I guess I'll have to take a look at editing the script myself. I guess that's under the 'Expert' section of the documentation that I never read.  I know, I know-- RTFM...


Thanks!
