Situation:
I have a game's cache data folder and want to play the game but it will not play unless the cache to it is put on my A101IT.
Question:
What are all the exact steps to installing/putting a game's cache onto the A101IT in order for a game to run? Where does the cache go, do I put it in an already existing folder or do I create one for the cache??
Thanks to anyone who knows.
whenever I try to install something it says I do not have sufficient storage. facebook is 3.92Mb, I have 2.3Gb on phone free for programs, 8+Gb free on phone, and 29+Gb free in card! app cache found nothing to clean and reboot did not work. I am lost!

Try the following:
Clear cache history and other bs is browser app.
Delete any long old or unnecessary text threads. If you'd prefer there are apps to back them up.
Go into recovery and wipe cache.
See if that helps
EDIT- might even squeeze a bit more out by using an app like sd maid to clean old logs and tombstones and other BS.
@Kenny, still no workie!! I just found it strange because if you look at my OP, I have more than enough space. I will try another app! FB is jacked anyway!
Google+ FTW
Try this and remember, no matter how much you dislike what im going to say, there's no crying in baseball (little tom hanks reference )
Menu>settings>apps>downloaded>market aka vending
Force stop, clear cache, clear data, uninstall update
Now reboot. Pretty sure that should do it and if the update doesn't immediately push let me know and ill give you my apk.

Your gonna have to send it to me because that did not work either. Only difference, before I got Orange Triangle in Notification bar, this time, I got message directly from market. I will do it from home on WiFi in a hour, why waste my data................I have WiFi here duh!
EDIT: Why am I sooooo stupid? linkedin and my news app just updated with no problem. I should have known FB was at the root of this. months ago, I was not getting my IM. They fixed that, but app keep freezing. Last month I could not get to pictures on the phone, they fixed that, but back to the freeing. Now this crap...........

Have you tried wiping dalvik cache? You can try it in CWM but check its size before and after to see if its wiping. I've seen many issues, which I'll bet a google search will validate, that if dalvik cache grows too large it's first victim is preventing apps from installing from the market.
If recovery isn't wiping you could delete with root explorer and it will recreate
What's this facebook thing you mention? I'll have to get on google plus sometime and see if any of my peeps have heard of it
Glad to hear you're back in business.
OK, I went into System Recovery and deleted Delvik Cache, no success. I went into ROM Toolbox Pro, I cannot find a Delvik Cache folder (Likely burried somewhere.)
Everything is data/delvik-cache should be deleted
The Dex's will regenerate
Just a tip, apps including old versions of google apps that are in system, but no longer used because a newer version has been installed to data, create dalvik-cache. This is why I would release a flashable zip to my rom users every time a google app was updated. Id have the script remove the old apk from /system/app and put the new one in and wipe /cache/dalvik-cache (I'll explain in a min). This kept precious /data space free before we had super phones and kept things neat and tidy. It was more my OCD than anything because id always implement a script that's moves dalvik-cache to cache (now does that path make sense?) Which resulted in more than 20mb of extra /data space that's usable.
Food for thought. I've implemented busy box run parts support on my rom but I haven't even bothered touching my scripts yet so ....

Deleted, rebooted, viewed (personally, it looked like delvik had the same s**t as before I deleted!), attempted, same message. Although everyone's help is greatly appreciated, I think its FB.................It is FB!!! Punks! I just downloaded Pirates of the Caribbean, all 18Mb with no problem!!

Well ... if other apps work then its a FB problem, not our mopho problem. Yes the dalvik cache will recreate although smaller and any cache that was left from a previously installed app that has since been removed would not have recreated.
OK, @Kenny, that explains alot. 2 quick questions, When I look at the folder in ROM Toolbox Pro, it tells me the size is "Null", how do you view its size?
Lastly, I deleted that folder and rebooted @ 6:45PM after I got off work. The date on that folder is today, but the time is 15:18, around the time I used System Recovery to clear it? I exited ROM Toolbox, went back in to assure it was gone, rebooted. So maybe the old crap is still there?

To be honest I don't use rom toolbox despite owning so I just installed it to see what your saying and mine shows null size as well. If you hit menu there's a setting you need to check to tell the app the show sizes. Checked it and still null. So my answer is I don't know. That's the longest I've spent using the app and they were all null.
Also make sure your not deleting the folder but rather the contents of it.
My preferred file explorer is root explorer. In fact, one of my most used apps and I'd buy it 100x's over. In root explorer I long pressed, selected properties and my dalvik-cache was 58mb. I did some cleanup of old apps in /system/app and moved the newer versions from /data/app to /system/app. Then I deleted the dalvik-cache contents and rebooted and gained 6mb from the dalvik-cache alone. Not sure how much room was freed in /data by moving the apps to /system but its 15mb as a guess. So by that I freed 20+ mb of space and did a quick general house cleaning.
If I redirecting dalvik-cache to cache and there's another 52mb.

Is there a super wipe script for the Atrix? I want to delete all directories before flashing a new rom, so there are no directories from uninstalled apps, logs, etc.
When flashing a new rom I do the typical - wipe Dalvik, erase boot, system, userdata, cache, webtop, and preinstall...
the two super-wipe scripts I have tried were not compatible and exited before executing, and I'm having difficulty finding one.
thanks in advance.

What you normally do is just fine. But if you want something automated, try this.
Edit:
Great, now you got Super Bass stuck in my head!
thanks for your response.
the script you linked to looks like it is an automated version of the wipe process I was already doing.
this is nice, but I was looking for something that deletes absolutely everything. the wipe process I was using does not delete some directories leftover from uninstalled apps.

Wiping with fastboot left directories behind? That is surprising. Where were the directories that weren't deleted and how did you determine that?

they were on the internal sdcard... some were directories that were leftover from uninstalled apps that I don't use anymore or don't restore after flashing new roms, some were temp directories that I created for music/movies/whatever. some of them were regular dirs, some were dirs with a period before the dir name (ExampleDir or .ExampleDir)
another example to overexplain, even the "Music" folder still has all my music after the full fastboot wipe process. I thought a super-wipe script would completely format/erase everything so when I flash the new rom and reinstall apps, there is nothing remaining except for the new rom OS files and apps. (so my music folder would be an empty dir after fastboot wipe and flashing a new rom, adobe wouldn't have files and folders everywhere until i restore it with TiBU, etc)

I have never seen fastboot commands for wiping sdcards. You can either delete the folders manually with a file explorer (recommended), factory reset (not CWM, but from within a GB ROM), or format the sdcards.
Neither fastboot nor any automatic "full wipe" scripts touch any kind of user storage. That includes both internal EMMC and external SD storage. Those are left entirely for the user to maintain.
answered my question, thanks! :good:

Personally did this about an hour ago and worked like a charm.
Hi all,
I have this game in my N4 but i want reset the game...
I tried uninstall of course and clean SD files but when a reinstall, my savegame is there again
I think that is a file in "system" because when I wipe and update phone... I lost game progress so is inside phone, but where?
Thank all
Just press the Clear data button

Thx but how i said before... uninstall and clean data don't work
I used SD Maid too and clean broken files but city dont remove...
EDIT
I think that game add files in some folder inside system partition and don't delete when you uninstall...
if u are rooted, uninstall, clear cache, dalvik cache, delete this folder " com.ea.game.simpsons4_row" if present in data/data folder. search for game data saved in sd card manually and delete them. then reinstall
there may be a chance that your game progress is saved in a server.

I'm root so no problem, I'll try it
And progress isn't in server because I have this game in my N4 and my N10 and when I did wipes with new update, progress deleted without problem and I started again (titanium don't backup savegame :s)
EDIT
I haven't CWM... how I can do wipes?

Nothing...
I did wipes, delete all folders and files with word "simpsons" and savegame don't delete
And repeat, Isn't in server because with data wipe and new installation, game start again...

New builds are finally up. Instead of posting links to each build I'm sharing the entire folder. Builds starting from today have their md5 sum text file uploaded because I just discovered it was there
It's just the usual omni sync. For 3G users, this is probably the first *working* build with the tinted bar feature that omni put in the rom.
Enjoy everyone.

I've edited the thread settings so anybody can post even if you have less than 10 posts. I don't think the 10 post rule was in effect when I first joined. However, at that time you had to register to download... which is what my account was originally for.
OK. I have one I posted elsewhere, but let's see if I can get an answer here.
My cache is full. All 450(ish)MB. I can clear cache but it just fulls up again. I have a lot of apps, but after about 1/3 of them are installed the cache gets full and I get Package file invalid errors.
Is it just because I have a lot of apps or is something else going on? Is it possible to repartition (with or without data loss, I don't care) or should the cache be clearing itself out?

You need to delete the init.d script that moves dalvik cache to /cache, then wipe cache and dalvik and let your tab rebuild the dalvik cache in its original place. This is because you have too many apps and the dalvik cache has completely filled the cache partition.
I found system/init.d folder with some files in it. Where is the actual script file? I have hidden files enabled in ES Explorer.
Or am I deleting the scripts in that folder?
Is there a longer term fix? I've never run into this before. Not that I'm an expert, but I've loaded custom ROMs on various Nooks and never had this issue even with all the apps. Is it just because MONI uses a different partition scheme?
There is a file named along the lines of dalvik cache or dcache in /etc/init.d, I forgot the actual name. You can open the script and check if it contains something like
Code:
bind /cache /data/dalvik-cache
Delete that file.
The reason is that because our tab has an extra chunk of space in /cache just sitting there collecting dust, AAcount decided to move the dalvik cache there to save a few hundred mb of space in /data. It won't do any harm for tabs that doesn't have that many apps. But for your case, you had too many apps and used up all the space in cache, therefore you have to move them back to the original place.
This is just a personal addition from AAcount, you won't find this script in other ROMs.
Once everything is done you can check the size of /data/dalvik-cache if you're curious to know your dalvik cache's size.
#!/system/bi/sh
rm -r/data/dalvik-cache/*
busybox mount -o bind /cache/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
Thats 98dcache file
And that didn't work. I will look at more files tonight when I get home.
Got it. I guess ES Explorer couldn't delete the file. I used Root Browser to delete the file and cleared the cache and it worked.
Thanks so much!

Yeah, not having much luck. It's probably something I'm doing, but the performance is awful now. I swear it wasn't bad before. Is it possible that mapping thing was to help performance and that's why it's not working well now?

Don't think so. It was just to save space AFAIK
