      @muskist Try reflashing. Ambot Installer also needs enough space for the packages to installer successfully. I think the notch hack filled up your root when it used apt.

        @muskist I had the same problem. I suspect an incomplete install procedure when upgrading from 16.04 to 20.04 because of a boot problem with thr OP6T.

        I had to reinstall completely so it reformatted. Note that you'll lose all your data.

          Did you try first to reinstall without erasing user data, like installer allows to do ?

            Would you consider that enough to install Ambot Installer or the notch hack?

            TIA!

              Maybe another FP4-user can check on his device if the root-filesystem is really only 2.9G. It seems to me very small and on my Volla22 it's more than the double of it.

                  @muskist Have you done a reflash with bootstrap and wipe userdata? I'm not sure, but afaik with this option your device will be reformatted and there should be enough space for this action after it. But be careful, ALL data on your device will be lost with this reflash, so be sure to have a backup of the data you wan't to keep.

                  As an other option you could try to free a bit of space, maybe it's enough to complete the notch hax. Try these commands:

                  sudo mount -o remount,rw /
                  sudo apt clean
                  sudo apt autopurge
                  sudo mount -o remount,ro /
                  

                  After that check your space again with "df -h"

                    Yes, but that wasn't enough. It needed a reformat.

                      Apparently @kugiigi was right in his assumption that the notch hack filled up / .

                      Reflashing freed 52 MB in / .

                      That turned out to be sufficient to install Kugi's Ambot Installer which is a great tool!

                      Everything's fine and I'm happy with the result.

                      Thanks to everyone!
