    Hey guys,
    Was just wondering, is com.apple.mobile.storage_mounter.plist the same as com.apple.storage_mounter.plist?

    EDIT: went through the thread and found my answer, which is, yes except they are on different user levels (e.g. mobile and root).

    Also, everything has been going AMAZING for me, i am currently getting 150-160 MB!!thats when i hit free memory. I have couple of tweaks, like scrollingboard, sbsettings, terminal and a couple more. I deleted so many Daemons and i got the desired affect :) when multitasking and running apps, i still get over 100mb. Thanks rkid, tw23 and everyone else that contributed to this thread :D

    I deleted a few daemons a few weeks ago.
    Now I deleted a few more and I think there are some daemons I already deleted.

    Are the daemon files returning after some time?

    Possibly some cydia tweaks are loading their own daemons onto your device

    That's impossible, the filesystem cannot just pull files out of thin air.

    rotation, im quite sure thats what it is because this problem has come up with others

    UPDATE!!!

    I think this is quite important and needs to be added, CommCenterClassic "logs" facetime calls, as in if you remove it and reboot and facetime someone you will be able to but it wont show up in history, same with receieving calls.

    Restore the bolded ones, and see if it works, but other than that, I don't know what to tell you.
