More Space on Your iPod Touch
Comments available as RSS 2.0
I bought a shiny new iPod touch, and after unlocking it to install custom applications, I soon filled the 300Mb applications partition. If you need more than 300Mb for apps (which you more than likely will if you install more than a couple), you can create a sym link to the music partition.
- SSH into your iPod using a client such as Putty with the iPod's IP address, user: root, password: alpine.
- Move the applications folder to /private/var/Applications by typing mv /Applications /private/var/Applications
- Change directory to / by typing cd /
- Create a link to the new applications directory: ln -s /private/var/Applications Applications
- Now when you list the directory using ls -la, you should see something like lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 25 Oct 12 22:31 Applications -> /private/var/Applications
- Reboot your iPhone and fill up yet more space with useless applications!

Great. It works, but some programs will be lost, such as Calculator and Calendar. Any hints?

Why would you lose programs? You’re just moving your applications from a smaller partition to a larger one.
