Hey guys,
I have some doubts in the cache in phone which need your expertise in.
Why is it that sometimes our phone will get sluggish and laggy, and we need to reboot it or clear cache to make it back to fast again? I thought in Android (linux), that ram is needed to run any applications and it does not depend on the space (data storage) we have left in the phone. So what does clearing cache has to do with the performance of the phone?
Thanks for your time.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
ok i have got a ext partition
(somone tell me how to check which one iv got) however the apps are still installing to the internal memory!
i know this has been asked like a thousand times but i can't find a answer.. please help!
Which ROM have you got? If it's WildPuzzle, run adb shell and type in
Code:
a2sd reinstall
then press enter. It will reinstall apps2sd and move all your apps to the partition before rebooting the phone.
Not all apps are moved to ext position or sd. You may notice a slight decrease in phone memory due to dl of browser cache etc
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.

Hi. I have a gs4 (tmo) running the latest Cyanogen Mod nightly.
I only have like 15 downloaded apps and my internal memory only hase 400 mb left. The system partition is only being used up about 30% and its 2.65gb. Also if I can re size the cache partition because its only being used up 13%.
I feel like this is my only solution. But if you guys know a way to clear up space other than telling me to delete my pictures and what not (because I already did), then please show me a way.
It you guys need more info please ask.
Thanks - Harinder g
