Memory too low , delete some data first.

ProblemWhen u install big app/game in NGage with big file installer more then 1 MB - this trouble always shown.
Why ?The msg said Memory Too Low - means not Memory Card Low. But means Phone Drive Space not enough space to saved the installer and run the installer. Why ? Symbian Platform I have a routine to install app/game like this :1. U transfer installer file into phone via BT2. Phone Save the file in msg Inbox with category BT msg in drive C (becouse NGage only can saved msg in drive C)3. When u open that msg , Phone copy this file into application installer folder (this folder in drive C)4. And when installation routine run - the app installer file need space about 400 KB space free in drive C to run5. When No. 4 is run then the msg shown.
This happen becouse NGage only have free space in phone drive (drive C) about 1 - 3 MB (depend how many ur Contact , ur msg in inbox , ur app/game in phone drive , ur datas in phone drive).
SolutionThe DOOM game have size 1.7 MB - u tranfer it into phone - need drive c space 1.7 MB - and saved it into application installer folder need drive c space 1.7 MB - and app installation need space 400 KB to run. So NGage need 2 * 1.7 MB + 500 KB = 3.9 MB free space to install DOOM.
The TIPS - How To Trick it—————————————1. Make sure ur NGage drive c have free space about 2 MB or more. If less - remove some ur datas in drive C into ur Memory Card (drive e) or delete ur msg in INBOX until u have that free space.2. Tranfer/Send DOOM Game into ur Phone via BT3. Open that BT msg4. Wait until Phone complete to copy the installer file into application installation folder and when the msg error shown , just answer OK.5. Open ur INBOX , delete the BT msg (File installer that u send)6. Run ur app Application (u can find it in folder Extra or any folder if u ever move it)7. Find the installer file DOOM - usually in the bottom list of Application with have icon Phone8. When u find it - run it.9. Wait until installation complete.10. Thats all. Have fun with DOOM.
