I have a stock N1 with Android 2.2.1 build FRG83D. The phone has an unlocked bootloader, and I have rooted the phone.
My issue is that I have no more app space. I am down to almost 20MB of app memory, and I want to move the dalvik-cache to the cache partition. I did reformat my SD card so that is has three partitions on it.
I tried to run the a2sd Dark Tremor script, but I don't think it will work because the boot.img file won't support mounting to the ext partition. In short, I ran into issues as the cache files would not move.
Does anybody know how I can move the dalvik-cache from app over the cache on a stock N1?
Thanks!
I've been wondering if there's a way to do a full apps2sd without making a partition on the sd card. My ace is running a stock rom. Rooted and running 2.3.5. The internal memory really sucks and I'm thinking of getting a 8GB micro sd just to store it all.
Any hints or tips?
what do u mean by "full"?
if u just search a2sd on market, many of it will allow moving app to sdcard without even creating partition. but it just move apk tho. dalvik cache and data still occupy internal memory.

I have an app called app 2 SD from the market and I don't think it does what it says. If all the apps were installed on the SD, wouldn't the internal memory be almost completely free? Or do I have a misunderstanding of apps2sd? Unless the apps2sd are different for custom roms or something?
u need to also install a2sd enabler to be able to move all apps that previously restricted by android system to only install in internal. but then most widget would be unusable if move to sdcard using that a2sd app from market. and also as i said earlier, it will only move apk. dalvik cache and data still occupy internal so it will eventually become cluttered and full again.
also i think users here if talking about a2sd, it means darktremore a2sd script. it allow moving full dalvik cache and data to sdcard without giving problem to widgets, but it needs second sdcard partition.
so to answer ur question, and if by "full" u mean full moving of dalvik cache and data to sdcard without second partition, no... theres no a2sd app that can move dalvik cache and data to sdcard without second partition. none that i can think of. darktremore a2sd script and similar variant script that can fully move dalvik cache and data to sdcard needs second partition.
the simplest way is make an ext partition using cwm recovery and use link2sd to link the apps to sd card. it also moves the dalvik cache and dex to sd. I am using link2sd and it does what it meant to
I have an Optimus V running IHO with s2e installed.
I am trying to use s2e to copy my dalvik cache to my sd-ext partition, but it's not working. I check the box and it says "reboot required", so I reboot, re-open s2e, and it still says "reboot required". I don't think it actually copied it to sd-ext.
How can I get it to copy my dalvik cache (~107MB)?
I havent heard of iho. But s2e is only for cm7 based roms...

Android is right, you can only use with cm7...try using ungaze or darktremor

IHO is based of CM 7.1. s2e copied my apps and download cache to my sd-ext just fine, it's the dalvik cache it's having issues with.
I had the same problem yesterday, uninstall s2e than reinstall from market and all of those blocked selections will be available to check....giving your on a cm7 rom...if that doesn't work repartition the sdcard than reinstall the s2e.apk than select which options you want moved to sdext and it should work

Try wiping dalvik-cache, maybe the new one will be created on the sd-ext.

I tried that, didn't work
I think the partition is corrupted, try formatting again

I currently have my apps and download cache on sd-ext. That worked (works) fine.
I just noticed that I have both /cache/dalvik-cache and /data/dalvik-cache. Could this be why I can't move it to sd-ext?

I tried uninstalling and re-installing s2e, didn't work. The weird thing is that my apps and my download cache moved to sd-ext just fine.
im having the same problem. just loaded bobzhome CM7.2.0 on my optimus v. it will move anything but the dalvik cache. whats the problem?
IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!!
i moved applications only to the SD ext partition. after this i wasnt able to load many of my apps, the most important of which was s2e. so i wasnt able to undo the move. fortunately this happened early on after i flashed the new rom. so i just called it a bad job and reflashed the rom.
im giving up on the idea of extending my ext partition. i just reformatted my SD card for basic SD storage. i will just have to live within my means. not being able to move the Dalvik cache should have been enough to ward me off, but after having it mess my apps up too im not going to try again until im really desperate.
Personally I tried ungaze a d s2e and darktremor was my favorite. You get the .zip for recovery and the UI in market, search for darktremor in it. You will have the option to move dalvik cache to sd ext. My ext is formated in ext4 by the way, might be your problem. I write here mainly to tell you that in my own experience moving dalvik to sd-ext on top of my apps to sd-ext made my rom laggy and slow. Apps only worked fine. Darktremor's the best. Try it.

Mount as Ext4
how r u partitioning the sd card? I use mini tool and have partitioned it fine. make sure you make a fat32 1st, 2nd ext2 & 3rd Linux swap (see attached image - Disc 2 as example). Thats the only way it works. Best of luck Also, once s2e is installed, open s2e > menu > settings > select option 'Mount as Ext4'. I will not recommend moving applications and private apps, just move dalvik cache and download cache.

I have been going round and round with this issue for a long time.... i used mini tool and other programs like darktremor and NONE worked,
I used mini tool like nth20 has stated only I created a fat32 partition,
I used the integrate SYS davik option in titanium backup!
I am useing a IHO rom that has link2sd and that worked for me...
good luck i have reflashed and tried so many roms and was finally able to get this to work.

I don't really want to move the dalvik-cache, to sd-ext, but when I try to install or update anything from the market, I get "package file invalid". I'm assuming that the error is that my cache is full.

Do you need a swap partition for dalvik cache to move correctly? I didn't add one, so that may be the issue. Unfortunately, I have too many apps, and I need them moved to sd-ext, because they don't fit in the internal memory.

"integrate SYS davik option", eh? That looks interesting, let me try it. That seemed to help. s2e still didn't move the cache, but I can correctly install/update from the market now.

Yup. Either your dalvik cache or download cache or both cannot find enough space in internal memory.

You need the swap partition as apps use it the space while installations. Saves you from the 'package file invalid' error.
Hope this helps.

I was able to use Titanium Backup's "Intergrate Sys Dalvik into ROM", and that fixed the problem (it moved ~20MB of stuff).

I can try to add one, and see if that helps, but I think if I can install apps now, then I don't need to actually move the dalvik cache.

Just 20MB. That's kinda low. Attached is a screenshot from my device. Check the size of the dalvik cache.

Hi guys! Since I'm always seeing a post about Amarullz and other A2SD scripts having problems like random force closes, bootloops, slow read/write and not working on Stock and CM9/10 Roms. I'm going to share with you an awesome alternative to those A2SD scripts like Link2SD, Amarullz, S2E, and DarkTremor's A2SD. I'm just sharing this so if you don't wanna use it leave it. I'm just giving you guys alternatives. Try to read the Notes first before posting violent reactions.
Original Thread by croniccorey
All Credits goes to him.
Notes
*Please try to read the whole thread to avoid problems especially the Prerequisites.
*Please do a nandroid backup first if you're not coming from a fresh install of ROM so that we can avoid problems.
*I am advicing you to flash this after a fresh install of ROM.
*Please check your ROM's zip if it has a2sd scripts and remove it before flashing the ROM.
*If you have any other installation methods kindly post it here.
*The INT2EXT+ is the most advicable out of those scripts as it is the one used by the creator.
*Moving /data/data to /sd-ext might slow down the performance of the phone.
*If you choose a d2ext/int2ext script then remove the "06mountdl" or "06BindCache" in init.d folder if they exist as the script will do this from now on.

Thanks for sharing my scripts man, i like the way you did the download links
Hi, I'm using INT2EXT4+. Works great and speed is awesome, but there's only on problem: if I wipe dalvik cache the device doesn't boot.
Looking at the logcat I noticed that it doesn't find davik anymore, there's a bunch of NOT FOUND errors. Is this normal? If not, is it possible to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Hi to all!
Sorry for my bad english...
Do these scripts work on a stock Rom, like GINGERBREAD 2.3.6 with version of kernel: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #1?
Or should i flash the phone to another Rom?
I have been using INT2EXT+ for about a week and I am pretty happy with the results, only thing I have noticed is that whenever any app is installed or any read/write operation is performed the phone freezes momentarily and system force closes, I just hit wait, let it do its thing and it comes up good after a few minutes, I guess it's the lag of writing to the SD instead of internal memory, but is this normal? does it happen to you guys using the script?

Yes it will work in stock ROMs but you need to have a kernel that supports init.d. You don't need to flash another ROM, you just need to flash a kernel for stock like Battery Extender or CF-root.

Maybe it's because of a lower class SD-card. Never faced that problem
What is the easiest way to check if the script is running OK on my device? I think the script isn't running cause after restore on TB I am going from 120 MB to 45 allready after clean install.

Someone knows how to fix it?
Hello to everyone,
I am writing this because I can't really manage to have application installed on EXT, Dalvik cache neither.
I have tried SuperIceDroid ROM and RazorDroid ROM, Rafael Kernels, Link2SD, Data2Ext fixed and much more...
My main problem is that I don't manage to have the EXT recognised by the system (only Link2SD seems recognize it, but I can't link application to the ext).
Is there a ROM that natively support the auto installation of application on the ext? Do I have to partition the SD with the CWM or with other application? I really don't know how to do, I followed all the step by step instruction...
