Hi,
i think i messed something up while doing a nandroid backup (clicked @ backup google filesystem or something like this and then i got a not enough cache error).
I downloaded the app quick system info and i have only 2mb free system cache (of 40 mb total). So i am not able to download apps from the market which are bigger than 2mb
Any ideas?
thanks
edit: ok sorry, silly question -> recovery -> wipe cache 11mb free now..

hey
i just flashed a new rom to my phone (the 1.21 update) but before i did i backed up every app and all data using mybackup pro. before flashing i had 16mb free space.
after flashing and restoring everything, i now have 75mb free space. ive redownloaded all emails etc so i just dont see where this space has come from. Can anyone shed any light on it?
Probably most down to the Dalvik cache - as you start using your newly restored apps, the bytecode will be reoptimized and stored in the Dalvik cache.
Regards,
Dave
ah, so that space is going to dimish over time back to what it was then? lame, guess i might have to install app2sd after all
Ok so I have no clue why I have this ocurring low memory message on my phone. I have only installed about 20 apps on top of about 50 others that are just junk (which I would love to delete).
Looking through some folders I noticed that the Dalvik one was occupying 129mb which has led me to believe that maybe this is part of my memory problem.
Now, I know I have to go into recovery (volume down + power button). I select Recovery and I don't see the option to wipe Dalvik cache unless I do a factory wipe. I have no clue how to boot into clockworkmod in order to wipe just the Dalvik.
Can someone point me in the right direction please. Thanks
EDIT: I went into the app Root Explorer> data> dalvik-cache > menu > multi-select > delete. But this didn't solve my space issue. I still only have 17.9 mb available

I'm assuming that you're on a Sense/Espresso based ROM. If I assumed correct you will want to consider apps2sd, as with Sense ROMs you really don't have much space on /data
Hi r0man! I actually think the app2sk came with the Rom I have installed. Is a2sd the same?
I have run into problems updating apps on the market (such as GoLauncher..)
I am on DarkForest ROM RC2... I moved the Dalvik Cache to /Cache.
I get the errors:
"There is insufficient space on the device"
and
"The package file is invalid"
when trying to update apps.
I have tried using Root Explorer to delete everything from /data/dalvik-cache/ and /cache/dalvik-cache.
I have tried using Titanium backup to clean out the Dalvik Cache.
I have tried booting into recovery mode and wiping both Cache and Dalvik-Cache and battery stats.
I have a rooted, bootloader unlocked, R800i in the UK on Orange.
According to Titanium Backup Pro, my space is as follows:
System ROM: 130MB free
Internal: 172MB free
SD Card: 10.9GB Free
I have also tried using MarketFix, and wiping the Market and Market Updater, and Download Manager Caches, removing updates from Market and Market Updater (and this helped once, but I don't want to keep doing this!)
Can anybody please tell me why this happens?
It should be noted that within Root Explorer, cache/Dalvik-cache and data/dalvik-cache are practically full every time I check, even after reboots.
Edit:
I did something on Titanium Backup where I integrated updates of system apps into ROM, and now I can't remove my Market updates.. :/
After reading this, it appears this may have been a mistake.....
Ideas?

MOST likely reason is due to - I am on DarkForest ROM RC2... I moved the Dalvik Cache to /Cache. - moving the dalvik cache to cache on 2.3.4 is not good.
Was going to say can I reverse moving dalvik... but screw it..
I'm moving onto DarkForest RC3 tonight...

thank me I have helped.
also you can edit a init.d script and remove a file but can't remember where.

I have thanked now, sorry mate
I installed DarkForest 3.0.5, dalvik is now back to normal, and market works as normal.
Thanks
Hi all,
I'm using CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0_marvel-ALPHA2 from modpunk with link2sd.
Just for info, how much available space do you have in your device, after a cash clean?
I have about 45 MB, But I saw my friend's WFS with stock sense ROM having much much more available space.
Thanks
Ale
Pretty low. I can't install anymore at 20mb, that's why i switched to s2e.
I use flipboard much (internal data clogger). In s2e, i have 145mb free.
Link2SD reports 32 MB free and 104 installed apps (many are system apps though). One trick I just learned is to link the dalvik cache (settings - more in l2s) which freed up quite alot of space.
I have 71 MB free with over 195 apps installed.. Use auto link, link dalvik cache too. Also I use Titanium Backup Pro to integrate all dalvik elements into ROM.
18mb without linking anything. I have moved everything I can to the SD except Maps and anything with a widget.
I am just about to setup my link2sd. I notice the Manage Apps figure can be wrong with this ROM intermittently.
Pretty much close to a solution
Guys, I have been using several ROMs of all types, like stock, odexed, deodexed, cm7 and cm9.... I have found one interesting thing that when install apps and widgets then we can move them to system storage using link2sd.... It helps a lot in reducing the cluttering of internal memory....
Just install the app, go to link2sd, select the app, go to actions and use convert to system app. If the app would be running at the moment it would crash, and would bug u again and again so just restart your WFS normally and voila, you would see the change on your own.... You can do it to most apps but not to all(wasn't able to figure out the accurate reason) such as ms video player could be moved to system but if its codecs are also moved then even after restart it gives an error that the codecs are not properly installed....
To uninstall such app that is moved to system you would require to convert it to user app, restart and uninstall.... Done
This helps a lot and luckily works on all ROMs may it be odexed or deodexed....
If you haven't partitioned your sd card but u r rooted, you can still use link2sd, just open the app normally but when it asks for the partition to be loaded simply press cancel.... Link2sd is a very useful app I respect it a lot cos its a free of cost

I got same values linking dalvik cache and integrating all dalvik elements into ROM.
Just to know... are there any consequences integrating dalvik into ROM?
And finally: from link2sd memory satus view, I see system memory (/system) is only 6% free (total: 260 MB, used: 243 MB, free: 17,18MB).
Is it normal?

It's somewhat safe, as I never had a nice experience over it..... I once had to reflash my ROM due to that.... Why don't you uninstall all the HTC crap like, stocks, teeter etc.... And extra widgets that you don't use, that'd get you some space on your system partition.... And you can try my method mentioned above.... Well obviously its nothing new I'm telling here but with personal experience, I'm loving it :-D

I've never had any problems after integrating tbh.
41MB free with link2sd, 95 apps installed (14 linked)
Modpunk's alpha2: 51 users apps with 108 MB free B)
Odexed modpunk's ROM using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500475
Should effectively be the same as Titanium's Integrate Dalvik into sys but I didn't have the pro version of Titanium backup so this worked well for me.
Try removing system apps.. it worked fine for me..
Cross post from [HOW TO] Fix the "Low on space" problem (in plain English)
I'm still having the issue after the format. I have 312 mb free and still get the low space.
(See attached image)
Also, whenever I run Facebook, it pops up saying "This device is low on freek disk space..." and that it may be unstable, blah blah.
I'm running IceCream Senseless ?.?.? (1.1.1 or maybe 1.0,I'm not really sure now). I'm pretty sure when I installed the rom that it made the 750mb partition. I don't remember installing any other mods other than adrenaline.
Side story: I thought I had ICSenseless 1.0 -- so I tried to update to 1.1.1. Cleared Dalvik, and cache, ran rom. After boot at the home screen a message popped up that said the UID inconsistent, and the "I'm feeling lucky" button (which was a nice addition.) Then I looked up that error on xda -- but decided to just go back to my backup before I installed 1.1.1. I Noted that even in 1.1.1 the low space icon was still there....
Anyway...
Root, yes; s-off, yes.
Did a nandroid backup, then cleared dalvik and cache partitions to see if that would help at all -- no, not really.
I don't think I have EXT4 installed. I ran a query in the console and it didn't come back with anything.
Please let me know if you have any ideas, or if I should post this in IceCream Senseless' thread, or if I should just make a new thread.
Cheers
The low space is due to /data/data partition being filled up. CM 7.2 has a good workaround to free space. Though if you want another fix, the no data limit normal dalvik linked in that thread can help. It will move everything from /data/data to /data and use only /data. This will take up more space on /data but the 750 MB will be shared.

Yeah, that worked.
Thanks lots!
lag and program problems
So I installed the "no data limit normal dalvik" and then my phone didn't like it I suppose.
The phone started having lots of lag. It would take a bit to register my touch -- even the hepatic feedback was delayed. Loading programs, swiping on anything, or un/locking my screen would be slow and jerky. Programs would be closing by themselves, or would prompt to force close. Even connecting to an incoming call would take upwards of 5 seconds.
I'm not sure what to do except roll back to a nandroid backup.
Any ideas?
Also, should I do a factory reset before installing a rom? (that won't wipe my sd card will it?)
Will factory reset wipe out ClockworkMod? What about root permissions?
