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.

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

thanks, where can i get apps2sd+ from?

How do I move Dalvik-cache to the /cache partition? I know apps2sd can do this, but is there a way to do it manually without installing apps2sd?
You might want to check out the scripts that come with netarchy's kernel. I think his kernel does that, maybe I'm thinking of something else?

His kernel doesn't, I'm using 4.1.8 now.
Don't make spelling mistakes like your OP when you're typing into a command line!
Did netarchy remove this option in his newest kernel? I am running 4.1.3 and it comes with the following script. I don't know if there are any associated binaries necessary or what not, but this should at least point you in the right direction.

Thanks I'll give that a try. Not sure to run from recovery mode & adb shell or from term emu. I'll see what happens.
Well I haven't been able to run that script anywhere, any ideas on how to do it?

What about Estrongs File Explorer? There is a root option on there which I've used to delete system apps before. I believe it has the ability to move stuff as well. Just a thought. Don't know if that is manual enough for you.
I also read in someones thread yesterday as they were defending ClockworkMod that the dalvik-cache resides on the cache partion already. Said that wiping the cache partition wiped the dalvik as well. Are you saying that this is not true? Curious...I'm still learning the ins-and-outs.
BTW, thanks for posting the rooting guides for 1.47. Yours was very instrumental in getting mine rooted. Helped solve my "Main Version Older" problem. Big thanks!

Your welcome on the root deal.
By default, dalvik-cache does not resides in the /cache partition.
I guess I'm a little confused as to why you don't already have the dalvik in your cache partition? I just looked at netarchy's 4.1.8 and it has the dalvik script already. As far as I can tell the only binaries his kernel adds is one for the zipalgn script at boot, so I don't think you need anything other than the script to place the cache in another partition.
How are you checking the placement of the dalvik cache?

You're right it does. I didn't realize that. Thread closed.
I just installed a new kernel and afterwards read about clearing the dalvik cache before installing kernels. Since I never did this should I clear it now, or do I have to clear it and then install the kernel?
clear then install
Is this the same thing as "cleaning" the dalvik cache using Titanium or do you actually have to delete the entire cache folder?

To be on the safe side i do it both in Titanium and then when i am in Clockworkmod, I do it in the advanced section too - by the way if you do not have partition done on your sd card u will see an E: error message. You can ignore that.

Thanks alot .... I did it the way you suggested and am rebooting now. I appreciate the help.
For kernels, you want to delete the cache partition, kernel stuff usually isn't help in the dalvik cache. On Amon_Ra style, it's wipe cache. On CWM I think it's wipe cache partition (Don't know, have not used CWM in a while).

Cleaning in Ti only deletes unneeded files. Do this after you uninstall an app or two. Wiping in Recovery clears it out completely, so you'll have a longer next boot time while it's rebuilt. You only need to wipe it when changing to and from one of King's with HAVS.

So I don't need to wipe when updating Chads incredikernel?
You should always wipe caches when swapping kernels, even it its switching kernels from the same dev. It takes like no time to do so why not? I've forgotten to and usually it makes no difference. Sometimes its just forced closed's until I can restart and do it right.

What makes different devices require different kernels?
If I get mt6592 source code from another device can I make it to work with mine
Please help
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.

Is there any reason to really have cache cleaners on the android phones?
I've been using this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.lsartory.cachecleaner.ng occasionally to clean out some space from my phone. I do it manually, and weekly, I probably regain 100mb or so on average from both my internal and external SD cards.
I saw someone on another post say that using wipe cache and dalvik in CWM is basically the same thing, is that true?

You shouldn't need either really. Unless you are being cautious and have really low space on your phone. I'd use the app if I were to have to clean my cache. Less tedious you know? Don't have to keep rebooting to recovery each time. Outcome??= they both do the same.
