Is it safe to move dalvik-cache and data folders to sdcard also?

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

"Insufficient storage" after move app to SD

Hi all,
I am using capychimp ROM v2.0 based on Roger Eclair.
I have moved my app to SD card as I only have 60MB internal memory left.
But after I did that, I now cannot upgrade/install most of the app 'cause of "Insufficient storage" error.
I have 512MB ext3 and only move the app folder to SD. I follow the instruction here: http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/A2SD
Any1 has any ideas abt this

right, after 1 hour of searching I find out that I need to clear cache partition through fastboot, re-flash recovery image then clear dalvik cache also and reboot. Now my cache is 60% full, still a huge amount isn't it #:-S, but thanks God everything seems to be fine now, a bit laggy :-<

[Q] "Phone Storage Space is getting low" with a2sd on Liberated FR008

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.

Phone slow on messaging and contacts

Not sure what the issue is but all the roms I flashed recently. Im having alot of forcecloses takes forever for my contacts to show up my messages take for ever to send is it the roms im using or phone issues?
Been using shooter express and few other 3.5 roms

Hey,
did you partition your sd card? those roms are HUGE and leave you with little memory so you need to make sure your SD card is partitioned to handle the load. With that being said, make sure you are wiping data, Cache, and dalvik Cache before AND AFTER flashing that helps a lot
In your case I would just reflash the rom and try again! make sure you have enough internal memory to handle it, or you will get fc's with low memory! and oh yeah partition your SD card!
I hope I helped If I did please hit the thanks button!

Thanks I have partition my sdcard but i have flashed a ton of roms but i will check it out thanks alot

Search the forums, its been answered, there is a file in the system you need to delete..

Try sdmaid from market. It deletes tombstones, duplicate files, clears cache, etc.. . It's called sdmaid but mostly works cleaning the internal memory. Is only a couple of bucks for the pro.
It's /data/tombstones that above post referred to. Any root file manager will let you delete the folder contents manually.

Try the AutoKiller app from the android market, I'm using it and it works great. You can set it to free up the memory on custom intervals.
