CM stores dalvik cache for all system apps in /cache/dalvik-cache instead of /data/dalvik-cache.
Flash mounts2sd.zip from this thread (the first one).

After rebooting, open terminal emulator and type

m2sd cmdalvik enable
m2sd rmount enable
m2sd apps disable
Now reboot and it'll be moved

if you want to move dalvik cache for more internal space then i dont recommend you on doing that..it slows the phone doen (unless you have class 6/10 memory card)..i suggest you use int2xt+ ...for me its the best out there!!

I'll pm you!

or i will just put it here only..
so basically what it does is that it mounts /sd-ext to /data and leaves application data in internal storage for speed..
im assuming you already know about ext partition and you have partitioned your sd card!! (if you haven't then tell me)
if you want to implement int2ext+ in a rom then download the script from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124
extract it..now download the zip of rom you want to use and make a copy of it somwhere else in your hard disk and open it through winrar..remember do not extract it..navigate to /system/etc/int.d in winrar only and delete all everything in the folder and drag and drop the file you extracted from int2xt+ zip..it will do some working and when its finished just close it...flash this modified zip..and you will see internal memory increased in storage (150mb+the size of ext partition u have made)
EDIT:
It may happen that your rom doesn't boot ..so you make another copy of the original rom and repeat the whole procedure except that dont delete anything in init.d folder..
for example i deleted all files from init.d in cm9.1 build#9 (i dont know what will happen if i dont) and it works..i remember that i deleted all files in evervolv but it didnt boot so i copied without deleting and it booted perfectly!!

i m switch to cm9 build8 rom from jaggy,,,so need sum info.
>use tethering pc to mobile...so i can use my pc internet in my mobile???where is this option??
>i read sumwhere that titanium bckup must be avoided ...so wt i use now for my bckp and restore???
>cant i add my facebook birthday's in my phone calendar,as in option in sense 3.5???
>one thing i notice also when my phone is switch off mode and if i connect it to charging then my recovery menu get open,is this ohk??

tnx a lot from vshl2995 ! your method works perfectly :laugh: i'm very happy speed and performance is really good :good::good:
just 1 Q , can you tell me if i want use another sd card ,for example 16GB sd card (i'm using 8GB sd card now) how can i do that ???

Oh switching sd cards can be pain in the ass.. Anyway make a partition on ur new sd card (same partition u made on ur old card) make a nandroid backup with your old sd card inserted in mobile.. This makes backup of your sd-ext partition (of course ).. Now copy the whole folder (clockworkmod folder if u are using Cwm and TWRP folder if u are using touch recovery) to your new sd card using your pc or lappy.. Be sure that your phone is switched off or in recovery mode while you are switching cards.. Now when you have copied the backup(s) to your new sd card, insert it in your phone and restore sd-ext part only.. If that doesn't work then full wipe your phone and do a full restore!! Rest of the things in your memory card you will have to copy manually through pc or you can dump your data in cloud and download when new sd card inserted..!

2.any backup u make from gingerbread roms will be useless.. FCs will occur due to compatibility problems.. You will have to install all apps again
3.for contact syncing fb apps itself supports it.. But I use fb contact sync app for it.. It's awesome if you want their pics to be shown in conyacts.. If you want to sync birthdays you can add your fb calender to Google calendar (if you don’t know how to do dat tell me) your Google calendar is automatically synced with ics stock calendar.
4. Now that's atrange.. Never happened with me...

1. is there any problem with cm9.1. i read that it drain in half a day even in normal use.. is that true..
2. now i have Yannou's recovery..can i flash thru that..
3. before flashing should i partition ma sd card or can we do dat after flashin?? if i should do partition which is best ext2/3/4 or fat32. now ma sd card isnt partitioned once also. so can i do before flashing then after have to move cm9.1 rom zip file to sd card.
4. i read that partition can also be done with recovery menu.. is that true. if yes. how to do that.. i read partition for s2e(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859691- here) what about link2sd.. can we partion for link2sd by(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29724634&postcount=3 ) with that can we do.. will it work for cm9.1.
5. i read instruction for for flashing cm9.1 rom. there are two different methods which one to follow.
Installation
First time installing CyanogenMod 9 to your Htc Explorer/Pico, or coming from another ROM:
- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery
- Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM9 zip from SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Reboot
- Don't restore data using Titanium Backup! they might cause FC's
- Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible! (metioned in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29938916) or (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33608084&postcount=2897).

Guide
Hey there
1. The battery life depends on how you use your phone. If you’re connected to a 3G network all day while playing or watching videos, the battery won’t last that long. For casual everyday use, the battery is great. I didn’t charge it for 2 days once
2. Yes, you can flash through yannou’s recovery but it would be ideal if you flash CWM recovery since it’s recommended. If you partition your sd card, it will be automatically formatted so its best if you back up your data, partition the sd card and then copy all the files. You can partition using CWM and then install Link2sd which, when opened, it will prompt you with the file system of your sd ext. Choose ext3 and reboot. The partition itself isn’t needed for cm9.1 but you can you a2sd scripts if you’re partitioned.
3. To flash it, download the rom and gapps. Put them in the sdcard. Then boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, go to advanced -> wipe dalvik. Then install zip from sd card and find the rom. After you flash the rom, flash the gapps and reboot. Give it a few minutes since the first boot takes some time. And there you go

No, no, stick with yannou's! Official cwm sometimes give's mounting issues with our phone, and sometimes if you drain fully your battery you'll get in to adventure.
Yes flashing process is the same, basikly everything is the same as cwm

Install ROM Manager on your phone and the first option should be to install Clockworkmod Recovery. Follow the instructions on screen. I'd use yannou's recovery though.
Yes, the instructions are the same for yannou's recovery.
And yes, I've used cm9.1 for over 2 months. I'm using HTC sense 4.0a rom by derefas right now

Nothing serious with this matter. Almost all recovery will work with this ROM. But my opinion is use TWRP recovery, it provide lot of feature also its provide touch support and ext partition support also....

3. before flashing should i partition ma sd card or can we do dat after flashing?? if i should do partition which is best ext2/3/4 or fat32. now ma sd card isnt partitioned once also. so can i do before flashing then after have to move cm9.1 ROM zip file to SD card.
Click to expand...

its depends upon Ur need man. If Ur going to use internal memory increasing script u must have an 2nd partition in Ur SD card. ext2/3/4 is depend upon the memory script and ROM Ur going to use..
My Suggestion:
Try m2sd script with ext4 partition its work like a charm.. but i read from some post ext4 will damage SD sooner. but perform better. i am always need performance. but i am sure that till now no damage or performance issue occurred in my SD card as well as phone.
before or after partition is ur choice when u need partition u do it. But some ROM need 2nd partition while flashing be careful on that but cm9.1 doesn't need any support from sd card

1.copy Ur ROM and GAPPS zip to ur SD-card
2.wipe all the partition data,cache,system,dalvik,etc... except SD-card
3.install ROM zip then install GAPPS zip.
4.Then reboot..
5.wait until u get the home screen.. first boot take some time so be patient
6.After that leave Ur phone for a minute then once again restart Ur phone.
7. final but important click thanks to the Developer and other who help u to install the ROM successfully..
this instruction is for clean installation this will never lead Ur device to problem

thanq u all.. but i have some clarification about partiton only.. can anybody give me guide about partitons for CM9.1 . which is best, simple and error free, wheather to go partition then flashing or flashing then partition.. and plz give me guide thru recovery.. and where its pre or post flashing.. pls do needful..

edit :
im unable to figure it out abot s2e scripts, int2sd scripts.. so please tell me actually what are those and how the linked with ext2/3/4 partitioms..

Its simple if ur using recovery for partition u will lose all the data in SD card. So use mini partition wizard tool for make partition.. after or before flashing is does not matter if u going to add memory script then partition memory card... then add the rom zip then flash it..

As much as i remember, Older builds of CM9.1 had battery drain problems. It has been rectified in the latest builds (Aleast have been rectified in build 10 and 11)
I say you go for CM9.1 Build 11 by ayushrox. I am using it right now. I run my phone with extensive Music usage for 1 and half to 2 days. I have once kept my phone running without charge for 3 days. Right now as i type, i am off the charger for 12 hours, still i have 55% battery remaining, this is good for me, as i use an always on internet.
I never used CWM. I use a different recovery (i dont know its name), and i flash using it successfully.
I use Link2SD with a partition i made BEFORE the installation. I use Minitool Partition Wizard to create partitions. It is for Windows.
I always ask people to do a clean install. This would eradicate any issues in the future.

I have never used Mount2SD and int2sd
When you create a partition in your memory card, open Link2SD. Link2SD will ask you the partition type, select and tap ok. The app creates mount script by itself.
Link2SD is a 500KB app at the Play Store.

I never used Mount2SD and never will, cos link2sd works well for me.
Here is what i did:
1. Partition microSD with format ext2. (I used Minitool Partition Wizard for this. A freeware program for Windows)
2. Insert it in the phone, download Link2SD from Play Store.
3. Open Link2SD, it will prompt you to select your partition type. Select ext2.
4. Link2SD will create a mount script and ask you to restart the phone. Do so.
5. After restart, go back to Link2SD, press menu button to open menu.
6. Open "Settings". Make sure "Auto link" is ticked.
7. Exit Link2SD, do a restart.
Thats it! now whenever i install an app, Link2SD sends it to the partition automatically.
Sometimes you may get a phone memory full notification. In that case power off your phone and on it again.
EDIT: all this was done with CM9.1 previously installed.

So what are steps to install cm9.1.
Is it necessary to clear dalvik cache.

[Q] How do I completely format the tablet? Erase EVERYTHING ?

After about a year of rooting my tablet I've noticed it started it started getting slow, So I wanted to install a new custom ROM to make it a little faster.
So here is What I did. I first downloaded this ROM from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314458
-Then I rebooted into recovery mode
- Installed the ROM
- then installed the camera update or whatever (from the same link)
- then I wiped The user data
- then I wiped the partition or something
Then when I turned it on, I saw everything was gone but the device was still a bit slow, so I got on the folder explorer app and saw that NOTHING was erased.
Then I rebooted again into recovery mode and clicked on everything I saw "wipe" lol.
Then When I turned it on again I saw they were gone but they were still taking memory.. only 7 GB was free out of 32GB.
So Could Anyone Please help me on how to completely erase EVERYTHING, ( I dont mind if it becomes unrooted or stock rom)
Sorry for the long post and Thank you in Advance!!

What recovery are you running?
To fully wipe using TWRP, wipe both caches, system and then choose the FORMAT DATA option. That will wipe the internal memory clean.

Boot to he ROM. Install GooManager. Open it. Then tap the menu button in the top right and choose Instal OpenRecovery Script. It will flash TWRP 2.3.2.3.
For android 4.2 ROMs you should be using TWRP or CWM 6.x to handle the new file structure.
CWM 3.1.x is old, like 18 months old...

could you be a little more specific like with links and stuff I only know the basics of rooting

Sorry, I thought I mentioned that GooManager was in the play store, but I guess not...
Here is a link to it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager&hl=en

Some ROMs require you to flash GAPPs (google apps) separately.

I used Link2SD on CM10.1.4 (Android 4.2.2) of Jenkins. I've not problems. Before install ROM need partition SD Card on FAT32 and ext4 partitions. Now can install ROM. After install ROM, install Link2SD. Open Link2SD and select ext4, wait to make script. When script make you'll get a notification that the script is done and to you need reboot phone. Reboot phone. After reboot phone, open Link2SD and in Settings check Auto link. Exit from Link2SD and it is it.
When you install applications, you can get notification that is memory full. After this notification, reboot phone and memory will be O.K.

I do all your same step, and usually after reboot i have about 70 MB free, but in this last day i have noticed that i have an icon that tell me that my internal memory is full.
My only difference from u is that i use ext3 part and not ext4, but i think it is the same.
DO u have any suggestion ?

Not to SD Card. You need try "Create link". If you can not, then it means that the link has automatically created.

Need be ext3 or ext4. JellyBread I don't tried.
I don't partition with CWM. I do it with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. I installed it on PC and I connect phone with PC over USB.
I open MiniTool ... and made partition.
Select FAT32 Primary partition and ext4 Primary partition.

I don't understand you. I used OdexMe.apk and Link2SD. Since then I have internal memory and more than I need. I have no interference or slowing down the system. All works O.K.

Do u suggest me, to re-install all over again using your same application order?

Go in CWM. Now go on wipe data reset, wipe cashe partition and in Advanced, go on wipe dalvik cashe. Flash ROM. After flash ROM again go on wipe data reset, wipe cashe partition and in Advanced, go on wipe dalvik cashe. Reboot Phone. Wait to system up, and it is about 5 minutes.
On SD Card you need have ODEXME.apk. Download it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2157251
Install Root Explorer. Open it and copy odexme.apk and paste it in system/app. Made Permissions for this .apk (rw,r,r). Reboot Phone. After Reboot Phone go in Applications and click on this Odexme.apk and follows instructions. Reboot Phone. After Reboot Phone open Root Explorer and go in system/app and check whether each application has its odex. If have, it is it.
Now install Link2SD. Open Link2SD and select ext4. Wait to make script. When made script, you will notification than script is made. Reboot Phone. After Reboot Phone, open Link2SD, go on Settings and check Auto link. Exit from Link2SD.
Before, you for Link2SD need partition SD Card on Primary FAT32 and primary ext4.

Insufficient storage error after installing GAPPS

Hey.....so i have twrp and after installing my lineage of choice i go to flash gapps
it flashes successfully (i install immediately after lineage)
But upon setup and boot up....i cant download even a single app from the PLAY STORE as it displays an error.
Its quite random as i find that the error disappears when i flash again but also it might not and so am confused on what to do and what am doing right to skip that error
Summary: I have just done a clean install of lineage and gapps but when i want to download an app it shows an insufficient storage error....when i still have like the whole phone storage to use. (no restore from backup was done so phone is empty)
Help....
Thanks
Edit: i made it clear its an issue in playstore not in twrp...as i can handle up until stock gapps.

The error gets triggered if not enough free storage space in partition /system and/or /vendor. Just try with micro version of GApps.

i use pico and i can even use stock if i want, device is quite capable ...im saying that i cant download an app in play store as it shows an insufficient storage error hence am confused as i have storage cause i just finished a clean install of lineage

Then storage space in /data and/or /cache partition isn't sufficient. Take note that when downloading an app from Google Play Store in addition to APK's download-size extra ~500MB are needed.

Have you tried going to system settings>applications then finding and selecting the Playstore on the list of apps then tap "storage" then wiping cache and storage for the Playstore app, then reboot the device?
Or
Have you tried booting into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache then reboot the device?

ye i tried the second one and the first one( i didnt restart though) but its not a playstore issue as even in the device file explorer it does not show the internal storage hence the files are not even accessible but the storage size is still seen in settings but i just cant access them....its weird

When in Android's Settings menu tap Storage, tap Advanced, wait for seconds the internal storage gets loaded, tap on internal storage: you'll be shown all the categories in your phone's internal storage. From this you can attain which storage folder or category is taking up huge amount of space in your phone internal storage.

Try another clean install of your ROM and a different gapps package, there may be something wrong with your gapps file, it has been known to happen.
Or, try a clean install of your ROM but do not install gapps, then, reboot into system but do not sign in yet, then power off and boot back into recovery and flash your gapps then reboot. This has been known to fix many issues with flashing ROMs and gapps.

Simplest way to fix your problem is too head back into Twrp recovery and perform a Factory Reset.

your solution seems as the most likely to work so i have marked it as the solution but what i did was just flash stock rom and mounted system in the stock recovery and cleared cache and did a factory reset and boot into the stock rom then i reflashed twrp and flashed the lineage and gapps
that worked
On second thought... im marking this as the solution cause i feel its assured to work cause you are going back to the stock rom and its default system partition and i never had issues flashing when i came from the stock rom.
i even flashed the aroma gapps
Thanks for the help guys...i appreciate it

this did not work....i cleared everything and even formatted data

I don’t know if you found the solution but if didn’t format data clean your phone
Download the version you want make sure both the lineage and gaps are the same in my case I got lineage-18.1 and mindTheGapps 11
Because lineage 18.1 is 11 I tried other gapps but most didn’t work
Then after copy the both files directly in phone internal storage or if your phone supports SDcard put them in there
1st install the gapps.zip then the lineage.zip then reboot system and vwala Insufficient storage gone everything should work including all google apps if chrome or Gmail is missing download in playstore or use browser to download The apk

On mine, I just wiped cache and dalvik cache, then did a dirty flash of opengapps (which was what I'd already been using prior to the TWRP restore), and that fixed it, so that might be a less destructive option for some people.

The problem is lack of space in the system.
The gapps is not supported in many LineageOSes:

wiki.lineageos.org
This worked for me on two One Plus One phones:
Further down in the page they recommend MindTheGapps (not gapps) with Lineage 18.1 (Android 11) .

If you actually want to resize, you’ll have to download a version of TWRP that has hh_repart.
