Can anyone tell me how to properly use cache to SD on a hero rom. Possibly using better terminal or adb?
Is cache to sd for browsing only, or is it for systen cache?
Any other tips to speed up my hero rom would be great. I already have vm, cpu, and compcache enabled but sometimes after 8 or so hours the phone will lag and load everytime I go to the home screen. Only solution is to reboot.
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.
I was wondering if someone could tell me a Cache Wipe actually removes from the device?
Is there any risk to doing it? (Can it break anything?)
thanks for your advice
Wipe cache&dalvick doesn´t break anythink All aps or internal memory is OK
Its recomended to do time after time
Cache in general is a temporary and quick access data used which are used by system and your apps. Temporary information(data) created or used by an app or a system is part of cache(recovery logs e.g.) partition. However if you do not have to, do not wipe the cache partition. It makes system and apps run faster by "anticipating" actions, like preloading images e.g. for your apps and more.
Don't worry, no risk at all.
It's just temporary files. No more harmful than deleting the Temp and temporary internet files folders on a Windows.
Hi all,
I'm experiencing a strange behaviour of my Note 3 (SM-N9005 - stock KK 4.4.2 - XXUFNG2 - not rooted). As you can see in the attached image, the cache size is 1,47 TB!!! Going deeper into this, I found out that it is related to three apps, each with more or less 500 GB of cache.
Two of them are user apps (Office suite and Amazon apps shop) and if I uninstall them the amount of cache is reduced of 1 TB, as expected. The last one is a system app, Google Newsstand, and I obviously can't delete it.
If I clean the cache via usual apps the amount of cache cleaned is "right": about 10-30 MB, no mention of strange TB-sized cache.
Yesterday I did a wipe cache partition, with no results at all.
So the questions are:
- why the amount of the cache is so ridiculously high? Maybe the internal SD card is broken?
- why are there two different values for the cache amount (second image)?
Suggestions are welcome.
Bye, Simon
It could be wrong reported cache that is attached to your account. Stop wonder if your device work normally. Have you tried to clean cache with internal setting (just press on cache then clean).

Sure I did. The wiped amount of cache is about 10-30 MB, that huge gigasized cache remains completely untouched. Actually it seems to be invincible.

It's clearly incorrectly reported cache. No way in hell would our phones have 1TB of memory. If it did then daaaaaaamn.
If after you cleared the cache from Recovery, and used Clean Master to wipe the cache, and it still didn't work, flash stock.
Seeing as how the device only has a 32GB drive, logic clearly dictates this is just a glitch.
Ignore it. You have 12,44GB free.

Yes, this was obvious. I was asking if this issue could be related to a broken internal SD...

Doubtful. It displays the original size and free size accurately. Same SD.
Try emptying the cache through Recovery.
(Shut down the device, press and hold volume up, home and power, let go on the Samsung logo, navigate with volume keys to Wipe Cache Partition, hit the home key to confirm, wait and navigate to reboot now. DON'T click home whilst on Factory Reset/Wipe Data.)

Already done, as I wrote.
Strangely, nothing changed. Now I'm waiting to completely factory-restore the device.

My mistake, thought you meant cleared the cache through settings.
If a reset doesn't work, you can always try reflashing the firmware.
I have experienced this once! It was from changing ROM(Jackaway to Stock or was it the other way around). I was bothered by how I had lesser free space when I had the same apps at that time.
It seems that the emulated path created a copy of everything in my internal memory like the obbs and stuff which were huge. Accidentally discovered it when pressing the back again and again in Solid Explorer. What I did was deleted it there. I lost my files but I had backup so everything was good.
In conclusion, delete the duplicated files in emulated or internal somewhere. Just backup and then manually delete it. And to be even cleaner, factory reset. Hope it helps.
PS. Mine was bigger about 2GB+ lol. Also when restoring, remove the sd card. I hate it when some apps go to sd when restoring. Lol
