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.)

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?
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

I am using perfectpeso and use ungaze data2sd to move apps to ext partition but my dalvik cache is allmost full and i can't install new apps.so i want to know is there any way to move dalvik cache to ext partition?thanks
Do you use data2sd v4b5? If yes, then it moves the /data to ext, so the dalvik cache by default rests in the ext partition. If now you are having less space in a 512 MB ext partition (I'm assuming) then either delete some apps or make a bigger ext partition.

I am using vb5.ungaze data2sd mount /data partition to ext partition but dalvik cache remain in the internel memory.you can check free space using root explorer and my ext partition still have 500mb more free space because it was 1gb in size.
1. enable app2sd
2. it stores all apps in folders in mnt/asec which are mounted asec files, and they are in .android secure folder on sd card
3. dalvik cache files are in data/dalvik cache folder
4. from data/dalvik cache move [email protected]@app name file to mnt/asec/ app name folder
5. rename dalvik file to pkg.odex
in every asec app folder is cca 1.5mb of free space, so it only works for dalvik cache files under cca 1.5mb size.
how to enlarge space in asec folders?
What ya just said?

what you don't understand?
most app2sd instructions tells you how to do it on partitioned sd card
this is a method od moving dalvik cache files to single partition sd card
apk files are in mnt/asec folder compressed in .asec
so this is the way to move dalvik cache files manually to sd card to free up internal memory
this way you can install zillion apps to ace.

In the first step you said enable a2sd. And afaik, a2sd itself requires an ext partition to function! So how is it possible?

Mnt/asec is not on sd-ext partition. I think it is on the main partition.

no it doesn't. sams stock rom have built in option to move apps to sd. you only have to enable it. you can do it with app2sd or some similar application. on ace go to settings-applications-manage applications-and choose any aplication. you will see move to sd card option.
so:
1. enable app2sd
2. it stores all apps in folders in mnt/asec which are mounted asec files, and they are in .android secure folder on sd card
you don't have to partition sd card or istall custom rom.

at one and only fat32 system partition on sd card.
how to enlarge space in asec folders?
dalvik cache files of system apps are labeled [email protected]@apk name. you can do similar thing here:
1. free up space on system/app folder
2. move system apps from data/app to system/app with link2sd (convert to system apps) or some file manager
3. set permissions to be the same as other apk in system/app folder
4. move dalvik cache files and rename it to apk name but extension must be .odex instead of .dex
5. set permissions for .odex files you created
6. reboot
wow..!!It works..Thanks OP:thumbup:

I didn't know this, it's very usefull, manually do stuff that link2sd and titanium do.
You can really odex apps just by renaming dalvik cache and putting it in the same address as the app!? I wonder if it works for all apps.

yes. works for all afaik. the only problem is:
in every asec app folder is cca 1.5mb of free space, so it only works for dalvik cache files under cca 1.5mb size
so the problem is in asec files, not in apps.

Hi all
q: how i can move data files like ( facebook data files not only app ) from internl memory to sd ??
When moving some apps like facebook,Whatsapp by link2sd app method, data is also moved to sd card with app. If you running any big games, game data is movable to sd card.
Hit thanks if I help

Ohh no data files not moving , it still internal memory , iam using link2sd with root it moving (lib,app,cach) only ...
up up
open link2sd -> click an app u want to move-> click move to sd -> press OK
or you can back it up using titanium backup
note: dont move widgets on ur sd also system app
As said earlier, link2SD won't move the data folder of the application to the SD card.
The "Move to SD" action moves the .apk file to the SD card (in /mnt/asec), but leaves the data folder and the dalvik cache (the name_of_the_app.dex which is in /data/dalvik cache).
The best way to free internal memory with Link2SD is to move the application in internal storage, then to link the .apk, the dalvik cache and the libraries to the 2nd partition of the SD card.
Example : an application has a 3Mb apk file, a 1Mb dalvik cache file and an 5 Mb data folder including 3Mb libraries.
All in internal storage : 9 Mb
Action "Move to SD card" : 3 Mb on the SD card (the .apk file), but 6Mb remain in internal storage (dalvik cache and data folder)
Action "link to 2nd partition" with everything checked (apk file, dalvik cache and libraries) : 3 + 1 + 3 = 7 Mb on the 2nd partition of the SD Card, 2Mb only in internal storage (the data folder without libraries).
To answer the first question of the thread : I don't know if it's possible to move the entire data folder to the SD card. I never found a way to do, it may not be allowed by the Android system.
Thanx all
