Dalvik to SD Ext ? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, been looking at a good App to move the Dalvik Cache to my SD EXT, But to no avail, is there an easy way to do this ?
Thanks

check this thread out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374061
Its an A2SD script that easilt lets you move all the dalvik cache to sd-ext Ive been using it for a while now with no problems what so ever, Im pretty sure there is also a link inside the thread to the market for an easy to use apk. Hope this helps you out on your quest.

Hmm take a look at it and will have to get my head round it as it is not all that clear...the instructions that is.

There is an app in that thread that basically does it all for you all you have to do is make the ext partition and its just a couple button presses and it is done

wiping dalvik cache problem

when i first click wipe dalvik cash before i say yes it says E:unknown volume for path [/sd ext] (i assume this is for apps2sd). then i say yes and it says dalvik cash wiped. (i dont use apps2sd)
after trying to wipe dalvik seems im getting stuck at the boot logo.
i clicked show logs to make sure and it says.
Code:
I: checking for extendedcommand...
I: skipping execution for extendedcommand. file not found...
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
rm: can't remove '/cache/dalvik-cache': no such file or directory
rm: cant remove 'sd-ext/dalvik-cache': no such file or directory
Dalvik cache wiped.
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
rm can't remove '/data/dalvik-cache': no such file or directory
rm: can't remove '/cache/dalvik-cache': no such file or directory
rm: cant remove 'sd-ext/dalvik-cache': no such file or directory
Dalvik cache wiped.
is it only trying to wipe my sd dalvik cache? or does it autally work.
no one knows why wiping dalvik freezes my device at bootscreen?
Dalvic-cache partions seems to be wrong or missed up. It can't seem to find the location. It needs to get fixed before you use it.

That's the same one on rom manager. It shouldn't be freezing your device perhaps the recovery didn't flash correctly download rom manager flash latest clockwork recovery from it make sure you pick Samsung Galaxy s2 from tmobile.

i had this problem once! in order to fix it you have to: put your SD card in an adapter, plug it into your comp, backup everything on the card you dont want to lose. after that, put your sd card back into your device, boot into recovery, go to mounts and storage, and format your sd card, AND your internal memory, it sucks that you have to lose everyhing on your internal, unless you back that up too, but this works 100%.
MODS: if you'd like to sticky this please do. Ive seen multiple situations of this problem, and this fix works every time! thanks!

unable to format sdcard in cwm

I'm basically trying to move to the dalvik cache to my sd card for space reasons. I'm trying to format my sdcard for use with link2sd and other programs like it but I'm unable to do so in cwm. whenever i choose partition sdcard, it gives me the dialog like it does it correctly but nothing actually happens. I tried to partition the card on my pc but none of the link2sd programs recognize it. its as if the only thing those programs recognize is the internal storage and to my knowledge I can't do anything with that. if i can do it manually and avoid using the programs that'd be awesome. can anyone point me in the right direction?
...I'm kind at a loss for why you would want a virtual machine cache on an sd-card and not emmc. Perhaps I am 'not getting it'...care to explain?
i've had this problem for a couple of weeks now...downloads from the market over a certain size just won't go through. "insufficient space" "invalid package file" errors like those would pop up. i went to term. emulator and to check the mount sizes and my dalvik cache was 98% full. in titanium backup i saw an option to "integrate sys dalvik into ROM". i enabled that and it moved over 150 items from the dalvik to someplace in the system. that cleared up some space and now i'm only using 82% of the dalvik and i'm able to download and update from the market like normal. i know this problem is gonna come back and i'm trying to avoid it by moving the dalvik to the sd card where the space is plentiful.

I've never encountered this problem...I flash like crazy...I also migrate over all of my apps via TB...so...I have like 4 or 5 phones worth of apps following me around from rom to rom.....I don't have many big apps, so, of course YMMV--and likely will--but....perhaps this isn't, in fact, the actual problem but a symptom of another problem.
Have you had this issue with multiple roms? When was the last time you did a full wipe? On every phone I have either the stock rom or my favorite rom that I always go back to, no matter what, more than any other rom.....via nandroid....and I have never encountered this problem....any other customizations we should know about?
I've never had this issue before. I'm on the latest Calkulin ROM since I've switched from my HD2. This is the first time I've had this error pop up and I resolved it by moving some things around in the dalvik and freeing up some space. As stated earlier TB moved around 150 items and afterwards I was instantly able to download/update from the market. I don't really customize my phone other than the random theming here and there. I've switched ROMs back and forth to see if it was in fact the ROM and not something I did but the issue came back as soon as I restored my backed up apps via TB. I'm guessing the cache filled up with the data from the apps that are backed up with TB.
Here's one solution/quick fix: manually delete your dalvik cache with a file manager and then just flash an odexed Rom: Then your space issues would be solved, and there's not the issue of Dalvik taking up any room in the first place.

...and I have always preferred odex'd roms. makes sense.
so there's no way of installing the programs mentioned in the first post?
CM supports init scripts, right? Download Calkulin's ROM from the Dev section, extract it and check system/etc/init.d for a dalvik2cache (going by memory here, might not be the exact name) script. Might be able to use that.

Low system memory bug

Hi,
The problem is, that I cant install apps that are over 6mb. Sometimes updates just remove apps from my phone, just saying "not enough space". The best part is, that I have ~130MB on /system, and 1,5GB on /sdcard! It happens both on stock-based roms and FXP 133 (CM9). I just have no clue what to do.
Wiped dalvik cache, cache, formatted data and system, it just happens no matter what. After moving all apps to SD problem persists. What am I missing?
Xperia arc, FXP 133 anzu, with included kernel
Forgot to add: It's a fresh installation. Sometimes larger applications install properly. I had problems with Titanium Backup and Sygic.
Not sure but if you're moving apps etc. to your SD card you might need to clear up space or buy another SD card (i recommend 12 -16gb SD card)
If its stored in internal memory you might need to do the same and clear up space
Have you tried using another sd card just to make sure whether the problem is with your existing sd card or device?

It has nothing to do with sd-card, can u both read? Should I provide logcat?
EDIT: Sorry, I meant nothing offensive, I'm just too direct sometimes.
What else is there left to wipe, when /system, /data, /cache and dalvik cache has been purged? Apps simply download, install and then Google play gives notification about lack of disk space. It happens even, when I install apk's using ES File Explorer. Why can I install games larger than 15MB (no sd data, so it lands entirely in phone memory), and can't install 6MB Sygic? APK file is NOT corrupted, it works on my other phone. Market version is no good as well...
Same problem with me too, i tried to install Google Now (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818189) and it refuses to copy the files in the /system with the error "Not enough memory".
It was fine till i used Pureness ROM, but now i am on Jelly Sandwich.
When you install an app, there is two files, the apk and the corresponding odex file (same name than the apk, suffix is '.odex'). Sometime, when you play with restore, moving apps in system, odex them or changing rom without cleanup, the ".odex" file remains. Search for corresponding odex file in /system/app or /data/app and delete it.
When you save apps to internal they go into data/app not system /apps
check what space you have if needed save some gspps from internal to system by using app called links2sd free from play store.
Try cleaning the dalvik cache this is not the same as deleting the mentioned app can do this.
titanium backup can help with moving to system and cleaning to dalvik.
Also look in vendor/app there may be some issues there.

vendor/app holds one small file, it has sth to do with ringtones, so it's not that.
Before switching roms I always make a proper cleanup.
There is sth interesting about system app manager though, it shows that "19..." of internal storage is used and "183 MB" is free. Why are there three dots instead of MB, and why is it just 19? It looks like the dots replaced sth that doesn't fit inside of the text field (190MB?).
Why does it happen after cleaning everything, on fresh, "Out-of-the-Box" rom? I could understand it on Ice Bean (it started on that rom), it was 200mb+ stock-based rom, but FXP is just ~130mb! There should be plenty of space for app data.
EDIT: Wow, thats even more odd, I've just managed to install all the apps I couldn't! Like the problem was never there. It's weird and I still want to know what the hell was that, and make sure it won't happen again, as I have no time for X Files kind of things.
Thanks for feedback, so far.

error insufficient storage available

hello, i have a problem with samsung galaxy note 2:
I got root permission (by Chainfire) and I did the reset of the counter with triangle away ( I have also checked in download mode and it says that it's fine).
Anyway every time I try to install any application from google play it says error insufficient storage available and that's false! I have 10gb of free space on internal sd.
I tried to install many apps (especially busybox, the one I was trying to install when the error appeared first) but I couldn't install anything from google play.
The only 2 apps I could install were a root file manager and link2sd , but to do that i had to place the .apk file on the esternal microsd with my computer, browse for that and launch the installation.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Go in you applications setting chose play store and delete cache

I tried this method but it does not help
Had the same issue yesterday - over night the system took over 4gb extra space . Factory reset solved the issue.
I used to get this on my Desire HD, even with loads of space left available. Clearing Play Store cache would fix it for a few weeks and then it would happen again. I've yet to encounter the problem on my GN2 though.
I'm having the same problem on my Galaxy Note 2 n7100 and it's really annoying me now. I've tried EVERY solution possible but nothing works...
Delete Play Store cache
Un install Play Store updates
Search for and delete Odex files
Run Lucky Patcher
Run MarketFix
Boot into CWM recovery, delete cache, delvik, fix permissions
I've even done 2 complete factory resets, downloaded the apps again and then used Titanium Backup just to restore the app data... Nothing works. Once the apps are reinstalled it won't let me download and new apps or update apps (well, SOME apps will update, others won't).
I've got 8gb of internal memory, over 30gb of SD card memory and over 800mb of memory on the internal partition.
Can anyone offer me a solution that will fix this issue??
install root explorer,go to the carpet data,app and search the app wich you have problem to install and erase it,and with that yo should be able to install it, it works for me
this is an example with the app that was causing me problems com.maxmpz.audioplayer-1.odex all id this was delete it

I had this issue too and i just couldnt fix it. Finally i just decided to do factory reset and after that install the Ext2SD hack and so far it seems to be ok wth fingers crossed.

Hi
What are the luckypatcher and the Ext2SD hack?
Thanks for your answers.
This issue is cause by people using app2sd apps. Sammy phones can't use app2sd as the system sees extsd as the path which is not accepted by the system.
If you have app2sd installed remove it and reboot.
If you using Rom Toolbox change the app2sd feature to automatic.
I had this issue a few months ago and this solution worked for me.
via XDA Premium HD - GT-N7100 - Omega Rom - Neak Kernel - TWRP Recovery
Solution to your problem!
Found the solution to this!!
For everyone that is getting this error you probably have Link2SD installed, simply go in the settings of the app and go to where it says "install location" then simply change it from external to automatic!
Let me know if it works for you guys!

A thousand thanks, almost unrooted and wiped my tab, tried it and PRESTO! Error gone. Should add this info in the post about installing link2sd, just a thought.
Thanks again!!!
