Anybody know how to add this to any rom. I'd like to reclaim all that space dalvic takes up and move it to cache partition. Would it be a script or what exactly?
you could try moving it to / cache and adding a symbolic link in /data

Ok I'm having a brain fart. How do u add a symbolic link
I wouldn't do that...symbolic links usually lead to fatal data corruption one way or another.

I wonder how it could be done then. On my EVO I had dark tremors apps2sd with the GUI app that came out for it. And it had the option to move dalvic to cache or SD ext.and some roms came with it already moved to cache
Hello everybody
I have a big problem since 2 weeks with my sdcard / app2ext.
It starts with fjfalcon cyanogen mod but i come back to miui final the last week (for holiday i needed a good camera...) and it s the same.
My problem is that when i want to install or update an app(by the market) it keep saying that i haven t sufficient space...Superuser update by itself (not by the market) and it works
But i have 1Go of ext (at least half empty) and i also have a lot of space in the internal memory (even in my fat32 i have at least 3Go...)
So why i m lacking of space???
I try to wipe dalvik cache but it s the same cause it rebuild it at boot.
But when i go in the cache folder by root explorer i can see that i have 105Mb used and only 300Ko free..
I try to reformat only the ext it still the same i also clear all my sd and start over (but copying back all my apps to the ext part) but nothing change too... I also delete my swap partition cause i never use it but it can t be the problem
Someone have an idea??? I format my sd 3times this week... I don t have anymore idea......
edit i forget to says that i use app2ext with an ext3 part but i try ext4 or ext2 and it s the same
the space the market error is complaining about is the Cache, nothing to do with your physical storage
CM6 is fixed to prevent that bug
sounds like CM7 or MIUI ports the guys are working on has not been tweaked with enough cache for the Download cache for Market

I don t think so i have tried cm6.3 too and i have the same issue...
I try cm7 and now i m back to the old khalpowers miui v 2 and nothing change...
I never had any issue with this rom and i used to have more than 150 apps installed now i only have 75apps but no more space... i can t understand why!

how much space does it read in the SD card, and Internal Storage?
Go to openrecovery and wipe the cache partition (not wipe dalvik-cache).

Thanks but that was the first thing i try... But i never wipe only the cache (i wiped dalvik cache also) so i m trying it right now...
But just to be clear i reinstall others rom many times (4 or 5 times) so i always clear all....
edit: it s the same... My cache is still full (100Mb full 5 M free) after the wipe of the cache
@AllGamer
3Gb free on sd and 50Mb in the internal storage.....
We fixed that problem in ms cm7 sometime ago...

??? And how???????????
I search it but i didn t find anything talking about this in the cm7 thread...
But i install the 18/11 version of your rom and it s the same.
I think the only choice i have is to delete all my sd and start all over... But i can t understand why... The cache is not in the sd!
I would suggest exploring your ext partition and see if you have any duplicates in there. Otherwise, to me it seems like you have a ghost in the machine. I always hate to do this and hate suggesting it, but might be time for a reformat and fresh sbf/flash straight to CM7 and not overlay any other ROM.
Wait a minute. Do you have a cache cleaner app (Cache Cleaner NG is good b/c it removes cache from internal and SDcard - Cachemate is another one)? I am thinking that you might have too much built up cache. Example, you go into your XDA app and check out some threads, screenshots,...that all builds up useless cache. Go into settings>manage apps>your app and clear the cache. I have seen my market hold up to 5mb and my XDA app hold almost 70+mb of cache. I am really thinking that may be the culprit.

Good idea i m gonna try cache cleaner. But i hope i will be able to install it.....
But for the fresh reformat/flash sbf i already did this that s why i don t understand at all.
I reflash sbf. Install a new rom and clear all the cache / Dalvik cache... (all that at least 3 times....)
The only thing i didn t format is the sd card. Indeed i format it, make new fat32 and ext and copy all my old fat 32 and ext data.
I didn t want to loose all my ext apps but i think i don t have the choice now. But i m not even sure that it will solve my problem...
Cache cleaner don t work too...
it succeed to wipe all but nothing change i still have only 4mb left... (by root explorer). And it seems to be the dalvik cache folder which is full
I can t understand how this folder can stay full after a fresh sbf flash a wipe and a new rom....
To me it seems that if you are reformatting and then restoring, you are essentially restoring the problem. Try reinstalling apps with Titanium.

I think so too...
That s why that is pissing me off
I will have to format my sd and start over from beginning but i still can t understand why i already have a lots more apps so why whit less app i m lacking of space???
I couldn t wait any longer so i format my sd card
Now i havent anymore apps but all works...
But if someone understand why i had this.....
You should be able to restore most apps with TB. Sucks that you had to reformat. So frustrating, I know and have been there myself. Different problem but same result. The dreaded reformat. Maybe sometimes that is just what is needed. Bummer though.

And i test J Y Daddy HO NO ICS and now the market FC...
I dream to explode my xt720!!! 1 years and a half that i m using myself with this moto**** and i think i m gonna change ASAP (just sad to leave you all bros...)
No problems at all with the market on this build. I think there must be another problem.
Did you restore apps with TB?
How many apps? Number and size of the used apps?
Ho!No! CM7.1.0.6 ICS Edtion - Milestone XT720

I explain it in the rom's thread but i didn t restore any apps for the moment (i can t install titanium backup...) it s a fresh installation on a fresh sbf and a clear sd (only with an ext part and an app folder in it)
And i can t install any app by the market or with an apk.
On the others thread someone tell me about a Mz tip to make it work by deleting the secure folder on the sd (but i can t too cause i can t install root explorer...)
Too bad the rom seems fast! And so pretty too! Maybe i will try to install another rom to install root explorer on the ext and come back

Market FC may be caused by .android_secure folder on sdcard. You can't delete it directly from the phone, though (you have to use USB). But if you reformatted the FAT partition, the old one shouldn't be there unless you copied/restored it from a backup.

Thanks but i couldn t delete this folder with the rom file manager (and it was empty)
Now i try FJFalcon's cm7 and my market is back.
I m gonna try others ICS rom from J Y Daddy i m afraid to lost text message again with FJfalcon cm7..
Hi guys I just wanted to share with you this useful app, especially when you are running low on space or if you have small internal memory. This comes handy when you are not using app2sd or s2e.
App Cache Cleaner cleans your application caches only, it doesn't touch your system caches. So it's safer to use than other apps to clean caches.

i'm using it too and it works fine. and after a longer time without cleaning up my cache, with this tool/app i get simply a "boost"... Working with my HTC HD2 Android 2.3.7 with only 2 MB cache...

haha NICE! I believe it's a must have app, specially when you're not rooted.
I will have to check this out for my ICS Kindle Fire... Because the Memory on that sucks... lol
Thanks

Closed, post in the proper section
So maybe I just don't understand what wiping cache and dalvik cache in recovery means exactly, BUT I just wiped both (something I've been recommended to do many times to help with various issues) and I just noticed that all my browser tabs are still open... Shouldn't they have been cleared out?
Just confused...

It's my understanding that the cache is for bits & pieces of info that the system uses over and over but not significant enough to be stored in the limited but much faster RAM. Kinda like the cache on your hard drive. The dalvik cache, I think, is for info related to your apps and how they are to interact with your system and ROM communications with each other.
Your browser tabs, google, e-mail info and the like is stored in the 'user data/factory reset' recovery selection which is why you still have all that. It's info that you have input after flashing your ROM & setting it up along with the location of your apps on your desktop pages.
I THINK.........LOL
So i lost around 1GB of internal storage, i read a post that suggesti to clear dalvik cache, is there any risk of wiping dalvik cache?? Like bootloop?? And btw im using stock rom and rooted thanks
Edit
Did I say anything?

After you reboot, Dalvik cache and Cache are re-created.

wrong....
you can loosr every cache related data from your apps..... eg:
if you are signed in XDA app and have set some params (like color= dark theme) then those stuff goes into dalvik cache...(art in cm12) those stuff will be loosed
depending on "how" your app does savegames you can also loose savegames (most games will save it in other folders so its not often)

But from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/solved-memory-problems-xperia-l-t2496895 it said that cleaning dalvik cache is the solution for internal memory leak.
Do you have any solution?? as you can see from my screenshot that a system files take around 1GB space and XL only have 4GB
