Hey guys! Currently I'm using megatron.And I have apps2sd and dalvik2sd.But I'm still running out of space! Have about 25mb in internal memory and the dalvik cache seems to be taking up a lot of space on my sd card too! Is there anyway I can clear the dalvik cache and also I heard there's a way to move it to the cache partition.Am I right about this?

Just buy 8gb or 16gb
You should create a 1024 mb partition on a class 4, 8gb sd card.
How to I create it?

Same prob like me. But i use megatron rom. Its your dalvik cache is eating your phone memory. You must hurry install terminal emulator then move your dalvik cache to your sd card.
You must hurry before you end up like me

and how to do that
Note: If you apply Darktremor Apps2SD and still notice internal storage is decreasing, this is due to the dalvik-cache not being moved. By default, Darktremor Apps2SD will not move the dalvik-cache on boot.
If you want to move the dalvik-cache to the sd card, type:
a2sd cachesd (move dalvik to sd card)
a2sd cachesdreset (move dalvik to sd card and clears contents of dalvik-cache)
a2sd cachepart (move dalvik to cache partition)
a2sd cachepartreset (move dalvik to cache partition and clears contents of dalvik-cache)
Make sure your SD card is at least a class 4 before doing this, otherwise you may run into performance issues, unless you move the dalvik to the cache partition.
You still have other caches (i.e. Browser caches) and other data being stored and updated in internal storage, so the number of free space will continue to drop, but at a slower rate (unless you are engage in heavy web surfing, tweeting or facebook socializing.)

Hi!
After installing and playing around with some Roms, I found out, that
the internal memory is full.
I have found several informations about handling the internal memory thing - but I don't know which one is the right answer for Legend.
I used app2sd to install/move all apps to SD Card, but the internal memory still gets full.
Then I found a post in which one says that it's needed to make a ext partition on the SD Card to make it work right.
Can anybody tell me, what is the best way of getting more internal space?
I use the [ROM][RC3][24.07.2011] Gingerbread 2.3.3 with HTC Sense 2.1 - which works perfect - only the memory is strange.
I also made WIPE and Factory Reset before flashing this Rom.
Thank you!

best you can use apps2ext by darktremor, i have also used it on this rom and it works
some quick instructions;
-backup your sd card manually in windows/mac/linux, because making an ext partition on your sd card will delete all your files on sd card
-use clockworkmod 3 to partition your sd card, you can chose different sizes (i use 250mb and its enough) and you need only an ext partition ,cwm3 can be found here
-restore your files back on the sd card (previously backuped)
-flash darktremor (link above)
-restart phone
that sould be it
Thank you, workes fine. Should I IDE LOW Memory option?

I have flashed DarkTremor. But how exactly do I know if it is working? I converted my SD Card from ext2 to ext3 and I still can't move applications over. My internal storage space is still less than 20MB. Can anybody offer any assistance please?
Thanks

theres an app on the market which controles darktremor's script, just search for "darktremor" on the market its free, and see what is using your internal memory and if darktremor is even working
remember, your cache is still on internal memory and your text messages etc are to
Blayo's kernel has data 2 ext support so you can run a ext partion as your internal memory. I would suggest a class 10 for it though

out of my experience and the words of TheGrammarFreak (who made the data2ext script for cyanogenmod), data2ext is faster in benchmarks but slow in real use
and a class 4 sd is the best (words of TheGrammarFreak)
so out of my experience don't use data2ext but use apps2ext
We all know there's about what 200mb of internal memory while some higher end models have up to 10gb internal space....i want to move all of my apps to exclude widgets/launchers...unless there is a way to move everything on my phone to sd card...i currently have a scandisk 8gb memory card, what partitions would ya'll recommend for a 8gb memory card, what script could I use and how could I tell that my phone was being ran from the sd card

If you want to install a lot of apps, then I think you will want a 1GB or even a 2GB partition. And I suggest that you move apps and Dalvik cache to your SD card, basically leaving only application data on the internal memory. I'm using S2E for this; I don't have experience with anything else. You won't be able to choose which apps to move with this method; you will have to move them all. But they will work fine.
Did you partition ext3 or ext4 or just stay with ext2...im guessing my first move would be to backup my data from sdcard than partition a size, what about your swap ? Did you set it to 0...i just downloaded s2e, the only option I see is download cache, but I know this because I have no ext partition on the sdcard

I used ClockworkMod to create my ext partition. It creates an ext3, so I just used that. I did set swap to 0. I think these were the steps involved:
- Backup SD card
- Enter ClockworkMod Recovery and choose to partition the SD card
- Select a size for the ext partition and choose 0MB for swap
- Reboot phone and copy data back to the SD card
- Use S2E app to choose what gets moved to the SD card (applications and Dalvik cache)
I appreciate it mech, I figured those were right around the right steps

hi guys
i hv Samsung Galalxy ace (rooted)
using titanium backup i moved all user apps to sd card
but the internal memory cleared by only 2mb
Samsung galaxy ace total internal memory is: 181MB
Now using app2sd application i calculated all apps size that are in internal memroy and it was just 37MB
Means there should be 144 MB of free internal space
But in Program monitor it shows 150 MB consumed means only 31 MB is free
can anyone explain why this happens?? i need more free internal memory.
Thnxx guys in advance..
try using s2e..just download it from the market..but u must have partition in ur sd card..
It moves all the Dalvik Cache to the SD card.

Make partition on sd card in ext2 format and use link2sd to move your apps.

I don't know if it works on stock ROM, but there's no fault in trying.

Hello everybody. I have SGS2 GT-19100 running in Cyanogenmod 12.1. Has 12 GB internal storage and 8gb of external sd card.
I have been using this for about a month or 2, its really really fast. But I realized my phone becomes slower and slower because my applications uses too much storage. Every application use about 300-400 mb of storage. My internal storage has 200mb left and same as my external sd card, too.
Well the top #1 solution is that go to recovery TWRP or CWM and wipe internal storage and cache
but I'm just wondering if I can wipe up internal storage and cache WITHOUT deleting personal files and these applications because I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD IT AGAIN and it takes too much time. If there's any solutions what would it be?
I need help ASAP. Thanks :laugh:
There is no such thing as a wipe that will wipe the internal storage and keep all of your files. You could try SD maid to clean up any space that the apps may have taken. Or, you could wipe the app data manually off each app. However if there is some important app info you want to keep, this is probably what you are not looking for.
Delete the LOST.DIR folder if it exists in your internal storage. Keep all backups onto external sd. See what can be moved onto the sd card and if there isn't many, you may have figure out something else instead of deleting and wiping.
