I have moved my market and browser cache to sd about 2 weeks ago and have not noticed any problems, yet reading here it seems to be causing problems for many others. Can anyone who is having those problems tell me what they are and how you get them? I want to make sure everything is running as smooth as it seems or put it back (ouch, id have to uninstall a lot of crap).
i moved all three caches (webview, market, and street) under jf modified rc 30, no issues. i flashed Dev Phone 1 and moved everything again. no issues.
i do not think the market cache has anything to do with uninstalling the apps. the cache, is just the display info before you install.
flashing - yes then you will have to reinstall the apps.
How do I move all market and browser cache to SD?
Moving all the market cache to SD also means that all installed applications will be installed on SD?

well i have app-privaate and apps in the sd card.. but when i install apps, internal memory still goes down.. after somesearching i found out that dalvik-cache and data folders also take up space when istalling apps.. will it be ok if i also move these into the sdcard?
You should use the new apps to sd script. Its way better. But if you don't want to then you can move the dalvik cache but donlt move the data. It'll make your system really unstable.
ohh ok thank youu
after i do that, is it safe to flash a theme on
and i heard the new apps to sd didnt work on haykuros 6.0r1
is that true?
How are you currently doing the apps to sd? are you using the symlinks? If so dalvik-cache should be fine. You can try the data as well but you might have to undo it if things start acting up.
yes i used symlinks.. i transfered apps, app-private, and dalvik cache.. im not transfering data.. ill keep it like this.. its running well thanks guys
i have one question tho.. will everything be fine if i flash a theme on it? the aero one for 6.0r1
I'm using the latest Cyanogen and am getting low on space messages in my toolbar, what's up with that?
I'm 100% Apps2SD so I shouldn't be low on space, what can I do to resolve it?
I checked my bigger applications to see if I could clear their cache to no avail.
My phone did this when I had partitioned my SD card wrong so perhaps that's your problem?
That would be weird as I haven't messed with my SD card in months though.
go into settings> sd card and phone storage> Sd Card secondary and see how much space it says is available.
Are you using StreamFurious?
I was in exactly the same spot you are.
Turns out the last StreamFurious update that I installed was eating up all the onboard cache for apps, and it didn't have a "clear cache" option when looking in the "Manage applications" setting.
I eventually performed a Nandroid backup and wiped the device, then reinstalled all apps. This was a pain, but worked.
Now I'm using rCherryPlayer until the StreamFurious devs straighten matters out.
The most that I've ever used up was 36mb. I cleared the cache for my Browser and Market and it brought me back down to 17mb.

StreamFurious was indeed installed but I never used it, the problem seems to have started around the time that I installed it so I believe that would explain the problem I was having.
I uninstalled it but I'm still getting the error.
Does anybody know what else I can do?
Try clearing your cache. Even with Apps2SD many apps (Maps, Gmail, etc) still save cache to your internal memory. At least that solved my memory problem anyway.
I use ClearMe but you can do it manually as well.

Also try TA utility from the market, moves all major cache to your sd. do a search in the market for cache and you will find it. For some reason searching the apps name doesn't pull it up. Anyways I have been using this for month and don't even go over 18 mb used.
Installed CacheMate and TA Utility and have 8.16 now. Still have the low space icon

Well you have the right tools now... But hate to say it but your going to have to do a wipe. Then run the two apps and all should be good. Also watch the apps you download because some take up alot of space on your internal and you can't clear it without a wipe. Good luck buddy and happy Thanksgiving
I've recently noticed that my phone internal memory getting low (20MB) even though I had partition-ed my memory card to get Apps2SD.
I have a 8-GB card and the setting is (~512 MB EXT3, ~30MB linux-swap) and the rest is FAT32.
have a look at the attachments to analize the the problem.
Did I do something wrong? or this is normal !

It's normal. Data caches fill over time and take up that internal memory. You can regain much of it back by opening up your app manager and clearing the caches of any app that allows, especially things like browsers, gmail, market, etc.
That'll free a bunch up. I highly recommend an app called CacheMate - it does all that with the push of a single button. You can also boot to recovery and clear your Dalvik cache.
Also, if you're rooted and install a bunch or different ROMs without wiping, this will happen.
Thanx for the response
but I've already tried wiping the cache folder and it didn't help coz it gets filled up immediately.
Search is not working on either IE or FF for me right now, so I'm starting a new thread. Sorry about it, as i'm sure this is a duplicate question. Know that I tried for awhile to search first.
I've got an Aria running Attn1's Liberated FR008 ROM. a2sd has been enabled. However, I've got almost no phone memory left. I've heard that even with a2sd, some of the app dalvik stuff is stored on the entirely insufficient internal phone storage, and I have recently downloaded a bunch more apps. I have used CacheCleaner NG, which did not alleviate the problem. I have also "cleaned up" the Dalvik Cache using Titanium Backup, which found nothing to clean.
I'm wondering if there's some sort of area on the internal phone memory I can clean myself using Astro or something, because it seems that with most of the bulk of app storage being on the SD card, and every app with options to store cache on the SD card doing so, I should have more room on the internal storage.
What do you guys think? Have any of you run into this problem and resolved it without just uninstalling a bunch of apps?
Great question. I've considered a complete clean install, just to regain some internal space.
I wish ****ing Facebook would add an option to cache to SD card - it's a total hog. Going to endure with the Aria until fall and see what's out on AT&T at that point.
I know app2sd from the market has worked for me in the past. I had a ton of apps on my aria and haven't had a space issue

The solution for me was to move the Dalvik cache to the SD card.
DISCLAIMER: Some people report this causes problems, I guess. The information I'm providing explain what worked for me. Following my instructions might cause instability, brick your phone, destroy your house, or eat your second cousin. None of these things are my fault.
I guess when a2sd is installed, it does not by default move the Dalvik cache, which contains files needed for apps to run. The more apps you install, the more that gets installed in this Dalvik cache. Here's how to move the dalvik cache on your phone to the a2sd partition, assuming you've perused the above warnings.
Open Terminal Emulator.
type su and hit enter.
type a2sd cachesdreset and hit enter.
The phone will restart, and it will take a long time, because it's got to rebuild the dalvik cache. You can do it without wiping the dalvik cache by using the cachesd command instead of cachesdreset, but I've read that wiping the dalvik cache doesn't hurt, and can potentially solve some issues? YMMV. My phone took awhile to start up.
Once the phone starts up, you can open something like Titanium Backup, and you should notice that your phone has MUCH more internal memory available. My phone now has 89MB of internal memory available, out of the total 194MB.
Things seem to run a bit slower upon startup than they used to, but after a bit, everything smooths out. And I can install apps again, etc.
Hope this helps.

I think that I ran into this very recently. The following thread has some good info.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770146 ... more specifically ... this page that is linked from that thread.
Can someone tell me what's going on? I have plenty of system space and SD space but everytime I try to update any app, I get insufficient storage available. I've cleaned the cache and deleted many apps but still this remains. I even cleared Google Play Store and the data.
Never had this happen before where I couldn't fix it.
Note, this happens when I try to update or install an app from Google Play or if I try to sideload any app
Did you force "install app to sdcard directly"?
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ? "
Install SdMaid Pro app from Play Store.. Then clean your system.
P.s. YOU NEED ROOT ACCESS
I didn't force install or side load. I have root and my system is clean. I cleared almost all caches and cleared data and cache from play store. I even cleared the dalvik cache.

Take a look if the apps are in APPLICATION MANAGER -> SD CARD and are moved to the SD CARD.
SOLUTION
1) You can make a test. Take out the SD CARD and try to update one of that apps. Go to point 2 if works and you don't get any message.
2) I had same problem. My solution was change the SD CARD coz was faulty. Good luck :highfive:

Hi
i already had this problem on my old s2 because i patched the apps with lucky patcher to remove the adds.
Lucky patcher install an odex file in the system, and this causes the problem.
If you can unpatch the apps you want to update via lucky patcher, do it. (Or maybe remove manually the odex file via an explorer)
As i didn't need to keep the datas for the apps, my solution was to uninstall the apps i wanted to update, launch lucky patcher so that it removes automatically the odex file, and reinstall the app via google play ...
