Root cannot install SWYPE on BB 4, says no room

[drumtrucker]

was able to install on another Froyo rom, no I don't remember which. How much room does SWYPE need?

editing this in (from post below) to get it read by more eyes:

I did uninstall a bunch of fluff I was thinking of getting rid of anyway. Using 3 different methods of checking, here are results:

os monitor 231 used 48 free, not sure why this is being reported so low, but could be a clue
in misc section of os monitor:

\system
total: 143
used:117
avail: 26
\data
total: 265
used:123
avail:145

memory widget
120 out of 261 used settings

sd/phone internal phone storage internal space
142 (which matches mem widget)

Check the free space in your internal memory. Settings -> SD card & phone storage -> Internal phone storage

no kidding... not an answer to the question i asked. jeez

Well is it low? You could try moving some apps to your SD and see if it helps.

Try using root explorer to delete every incidence of swype on your system (need to set system to read/write r/w and do a search for "swype"). There might me remnants of swype left on your phone. Then do a reinstall. I had the same problem with other large apps when trying to do a Titanium restore and couldn't even do a market install. After a search and delete I was able to install them again. You can also check out this link (I used root explorer instaead on Android Mate):

search found nothing...
I have flashed chevyno1 simplystunning and now OS monitor shows 99% used
but Root explorer says 260 free

this may or may not be relevant to this no room issue, but every time I boot (in last 2 or 3 roms) I get a notification of 416 unread messages, even thought I keep telling handcent to mark all read.

you should move your apps to the memory card. on bb you go into the bb tools then script helper then apps2sd

You could do that, but you shouldn't need to...
