How to get free space in your system partition on iPhone after jailbreak.

Well, when you jailbreak your iPhone and start installing cydia main tools, you can see that your syspartition is too small !

In fact, the size is 750 mo, which is really short. After installing my tools, on 30mo stay on main partition. This partition is used by the system.

Here a simple way to free space, by moving 3 directory to the Apps partitions. You will need "BigBoss Recommanded Tools".

ssh root@YOUR_IPHONE_IP
cd /System/Libraries

#move audio
mv Audio /var/stash && ln -s /var/stash/Audio

#move fonts
mv Fonts /var/stash && ln -s /var/stash/Fonts

#remove useless textinput
cd TextInput
ls > todo
vim todo
#Remove all language you want to keep (you arrow, and do "dd" on the line to cut it). When you have finish, do ":x".
mkdir /var/stash/TextInput
for i in $(cat todo); do mv $i /var/stash/TextInput/; done
ls #check if all language you want is their.
rm todo
#if you want to get it back, just move it from stash :
#mv /var/stash/TextInput/LANGUAGEYOUWANT /System/Libraries/TextInput/

#Now it's time to reboot
reboot

Now I have 200mo freespace ! which is nice !!!

Have fun, and feel free to ask me what you want to do this !
