HTC Desire root - Desire General

I have got a HTC desire which i have rooted an installed apps2sd
But how do i find out for sure whether apps2sd is working? Reason im asking is that i have installed a few apps and the internal memory has gone down slightly.
I have done abit of research and it could be down to the dalvik cache? Is this true, if so can the dalvik cache be moved to the sd?

anyone???
thanks

Think that's the cache.
Maybe this topic is what you're looking for.

Doesn't Apps2SD+ also move the cache to SD?

Did you even try any of those words in search? It might just be the single most talked about subjects across several threads

Desire Internal memory.

Ok, wife has a rooted and s off desire. It had 41 mb free internal space. Installed Google+ and Adobe air. Moved air to SD and moved Google+ with titanium and link2sd. Checked internal memory down to 25 mb. So I uninstalled both the apps. I now get a reading of 32 mb not 41 mb as it was before. Why?

hi,
coz data used by those apps are still into dalvik cache.
use titanium back up to clean dalvik cache (menu/more)
hope this help
It's dose, it says 2 app data not needed but to remove must donate. Is there any free apps that can do this safely?

you can wipe all dalvik via recovery is you have cwm.
Or just donate. The app is well worth it.
Yes indeed. This was my first boight into android market. Daily used.

If I wipe all dalvik will it harm my phone in anyway?
Also done some research and found an app called A2SDGUI. looks like it can move dalvik to SD, is this a good idea and will it work on gingerbread?

Hi.
It won t harm ur phone. If you do so advice to wipe cache. Be in mind while rebooting takes much time coz rebuilding dalvik-cache.
Dunno a2sdgui could be a good idea depends ur sdcard speed. If not class10 (mean write speed 10mb/s). Dalvik is often used by system so if bad sdcard performance can reduce you rom performance.

so sdcrad writing speed = 2Mb/s
a2sd (move app 2 sd card) yes is enough
move your dalvik to you sd card no it to low (don't advice to do so)
have just look app mention a2sdgui requiered Requirements:
- ROOT
- busybox
- A2SD Darktremor Scripts V2.7.5.2 and above.
dunno if you got a custom rom (which means you got aswell a custom kernel)
if yes, have a look to system/etc/init.d folder this where script like this a based.
hope this help

Yeah, dalvik is filling the /data partition. Just 'install' a2sd+.
I am moving with link2sd and titanium.

I need some help with increasing my internal storage;
The problem is i am a newfag and kind of no interested in any super roms with awesome tweaks etc. I just want the same 2.3.3 android htc gave us in update with old sense etc but with like a 1gb of memory for apps so what i need to do?
I tried to find something and here is what i think i need to do:
1.Security off
2. Root --> here is a question. Does a root dissapears after i do a factor reset?
3. Now i need to install some kind of custom recovery - dont rly know how
4. Install some rom????
I was reading and trying to understand the difference beetwen the apps2sd data2sd, there were some disscussions that data2sd slows your phone etc. but then someone ofc spoke that's incorrect... There is a lot of contradictions in topics so it's hard for someone new to get to know the topic well.
So know in the end i will just write once again:
I want 2.3.3 htc android from update with everything the way it was but with bigger internal storage. Is that possible?
You could use a rooted stock rom that supports a2sd:

Ok guys
I did s-off,rooted and know here's the question
What's the difference beetween the partition ext 2,3 and 4? It's related with speed or stability? ^^Do I even have an option to choose which one will I use? I have class 2 card from samsung which came with desire
I also dont exacly know which option i need to choose in my 4.0.1.4 CWM at Partition SD Card. I want like 1gb for apps
Also special thanks to MatDrOiD for quick reply
Different formatting, speed, stability etc.
ClockWorkMod is poor regarding the partitions.
Id your need good recovery, get the RMD Recovery.
Usually roms let user decide what ext he needs, but fire some there are specifications to ext 4 or ext 3.
Read rom requirements.
Swyped from SGS2.

The higher the number of ext partition the faster it is.
Would be nice to honor it by using thanks button.

Dalvik to Cache Partition

Hi,
Is there a way that does not involve a2sd to move the dalvik cache to the cache partition? I am trying to get away from using a2sd so that I can use link2sd. But this will be one feature that I miss.
Thanks

just wondering why not use a2sd? most roms have it baked in now anyways. plus with the a2sd app it makes it too easy, especially for people that shy away from commands.

[Q] It's a big Problem

The internal memory is full
can I move app to sd card without make root to my phone
thanks to all
It's a big problem... that everyone on this forum has experienced!
And yes you can. Try this. (link)
Use App2SD and clear cache regularly after using the Market.
Thanx for this
Do a factory reset, it cleared ~130mb on my wfs.
After installing all apps I need, I'm on about 30mb now.

Cannot open gallery

Hey everyone,
I recently flashed jedi invasion 5 rom to my tmobile galaxy s3. For some reason I can't seem to open my gallery, it tells me I don't have enough space, however, I have plenty of space in both my internal memory and my 32gb sd card. Any help would be great, thanks
What were the steps you took in flashing the rom, we need a little more info to help you out.
Go into manage applications setting and clear app data for anything that has to do with media storage & gallery in the system apps list, then reboot. That may or may not help.

Sorry about that. So prior to Jedi invasion rom i was rooted with some stock rom. I basically went into clockwork recovery mode, i wiped user data, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, and then i flashed the jedi invasion rom. I have actually redid this process over a few times already, still however the gallery fails to load telling me that there isn't enough space. I have tried formatting my sd card, cleaning out my internal storage, clearing my gallery cache... all of those didn't help fix the issue either. Although, when i downloaded a different gallery from play store, that worked just fine.

Strange, only thing I can suggest from there is to wipe system and then re-flash the rom

It is strange... By wiping system do you mean wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode? Or is there another way you're referring to that does a more, for lack of better words, cleaner wipe?
I can't remember where it is under on CWM I'm a TWRP kinda guy. I think Mounts and Storage, and yes is't where all the system files are (the ones that aren't delete-able without Root Access). Like gallery and such. My guess some bad left overs from the other rom/gallery/camera aren't compatible with the rom/gallery/camera you have now.

You were right, I resolved the issue by fully wiping everything, data, cache, system, and even the internal sd. Thanks again for your help!
Fo sho, I hate the option to wipe system is hidden from people.

Roughly how many apps can be installed on data using the 65mb hboot? (without using sd-ext)
If you don't use any a2sd script, fairly few. The dalvik cache will be filling up the internal memory fast.

What if i use a2sd but with n, n, y ?
Would that keep the dalvik on internal (making it faster), but move apks to sd-ext?
Would i then be able to install a decent number of apps (say 50) even though the dalvik is on internal?
Or is there a different script for this purpose?
THanks

Dalvik on internal doesn't make a performance difference. Data on internal does.
http://db.tt/m4sQLDOI
Install this zip from recovery. It moves dalvik and data/app to sd-ext. It will be enough for about 100 apps, without affecting performance at all.

Cool thanks bro for the info & zip!
Why is it that it doesn't affect performance though? Is it to do with read speeds of sd cards being so fast that it doesn't matter?

Because dalvik cache isn't as frequently accessed as data, so it doesn't need great sd-card speeds to be fast.
I had about 200 apps on there with no issue, however it's been a while since I used it so obviously modern apps are bigger.

It's amazing. I can't believe people are still finding it! I just thought I'd randomly google it today and found this thread so then I checked out the host stats just now out of curiosity. Over 1500 downloads in the last 3 months! Yeah it makes me feel pretty special actually. I certainly see dGB as an achievment

Try what @abaaaabbbb63 posted to move Dalvik Cache to SD if you need to. Any decent a2sd+ script should work too. I don't have a known working one to hand.
