If you have CWM, and flash the gappsinto it, that's what I was talking about, but then momentarily forgot that if you're not rooted nor unlocked... different story :) Zte, Samsung and Sony when rooted/unlocked, allows it to happen, the official gapps zip does load the google apps directly into /system

| Jul 10, 2012 at 15:21 | comment | added | ce4 | nope, /system doesn't get touched (HTC phones lock it for example completely, the infamous S-ON flag on the flash for the /system partition). You can see it if you look at an updated system app: You can uninstall updates of the market for example. BTW: TitaniumBackup just allows this, it's called 'integrate system app updates into /system' or so. User data of system is by the way also stored at /data | |

I suppose, but then again, when the play store updates google apps (GMail, Maps, play store), it goes into /system as when gapps gets flashed in, it adds those into /system as well!

| Jul 10, 2012 at 15:13 | comment | added | ce4 | The OP doesn't ask about /system but only about /data. I guess the RAM is also not of question here (It does count however count, right). It's solely a question of how big /data should be to feel comfortable. | |

| Jul 10, 2012 at 14:32 | comment | added | Itamar | Just to clarify, 200Mb will leave 80Mb for apps on ICS? If so, would that be enough for a small, medium or heavy apps user? | |
