This mod will move dalvik-cache from /data to /preload freeing up some space and utilizing the otherwise unused /preload partition when running a pure ICS ROM.
Based on the SGS2-CF-ROOT-XXLPH kernel.
The kernel is untouched but the init.rc script on initramdisk is modded to mount /preload with same prefs as /data normaly has.
It does not wipe or format anything, exept the dalvik-cache.
After installation, wiping dalvik-cache from CWM actually works just fine.
Flash it with CWM.
/Cheers
Can you explain better the benefits of using this? It's unclear for noobs like me.

I haven't looked at the mod yet, but if the dalvik cache is sym linked to the other partition, then it wouldn't have to rebuilt.

i've not looked at it neither, but i have used sym links before, and the files in dalvik were duplicated, one for the old dalvik-cache, plus one for the symlink
eg
[email protected]@[email protected] and [email protected]@[email protected]
PS pls correct me if i am wrong coz i tried it couple of mths b4
Thanks all for the interest.
OBSERVE! Only for XXLPH kernel.
Answers to your questions:
* Benefit: you move away 100-300Mb of data to /preload and can use more on /data to use your favorite apps.
* No, there is no duplication of files. And YES the dalvik is rebuilt, but only on the fist boot, not each time, unless you tamper with the new paths, but the script takes care of that, so dont worry.
* kernel mounts /preload with same prefs as /data, and also in RW mode.
* the script takes care of all your worries (/system/etc/init.d/S99dalvik2preload). It is written so you can remove any directory/link (/data/dalvik-cache or /preload/dalvik-cache) and your phone still boots up and rebuilds the dalvik on /preload/dalvik-cache. A symlink is created to /preload/dalvik-cache from /data/dalvik-cache and all works just as before.
Works aslo with CWM Recovery "Wipe dalvki cache" since CMW seems to mount all filesystems and respects lymlinks.
Tested and works.
No worries.
Flash it and let me know what you think.
Installed, seems to work just fine, many thanks!

Nice. Thanks for the feedback! Keep it coming.
Can you post your /data and /preload usage?
Hi guys, hope you like it.

I would really like to have some input/feedback on this mod.
Feel free to comment, anytime, anywhere and anyhow.

No, not every time, just on the first execution.
I fixed the rest in my script.
Or did I missunderstand you mate?
thank you bodhisattva99 you are the best ...
is this the same with "Integrate sys Dalvik into ROM" option from Titanium Back-Up Pro?
So how long does first boot take? I'm stuck on boot logo no matter what. Once I got to the boot animation and it kept going for a good 5 minutes. Reflashing it didn't help.

hi, if i remember correctly, since the path in init.rc points to /system/framework, so the files there will be processed to dex files. i then symlinked it to /data/framework and i found files like [email protected]@[email protected] and [email protected]@[email protected]
i cant remember what else i have changed at that time but, perhaps i was not satisfied with the final result and hence stopped testing it.
anyway, i am happy to see ppl tries to find out these kind of tweaks/tricks again
good luck and carry on

No, it is not.
That option moves the dalvik cache files for /system applications into /system
Hi, great work! I have taken the liberty of rewriting your script from scratch to a new and what I believe to be a more efficient one. There is a requirement of having Busybox installed in /system/xbin. I haven't tested it myself since I do not own an SGS2, but AColwill has tested it for me and says it appears to boot faster.

May work, version 1.5 uses the SGS2-CF-ROOT-XXLPH kernel. I'm not sure which kernel LPQ/LP7 use. Have not had time to check it out.
I will make a new one for LP7 this weekend if i can find the time.

This Thread Will Help Yuh Guyx By Increasing Ur Android'x Internal Memory....!
THE PREFERENCE SHOULD BE MOVING UR DALVIK-CACHE TO SYSTEM/ PARTITION (As No One Reported Any Problem Doing This), MOVING THE DALVIK-CACHE TO DEV/ PARTITION IS THE SECOND OPTION (2-3 People Faced Problem Regarding Performance, I NEVER DID =P)....!
I Noticed That There Is A Partition Called dev/ In Our Phones Which Is Of 170Mb (Xperia Mini) And Is Only 2mb to 5mb Used...!
So I Decided To Move Dalvik-Cache To This Partition...!
EDIT: For Those Who Think That DEV Partition Is Automaticly Formatted Every Time Device Boot Up, I've Added A Zip File Named 02dalvik2cache (System Patition), This Will Move Dalvik-Cache To /System/ Partition...!
If Yuh Have More Than 150mb Free On Ur System Partition... I Will Recommend This Option...! Because I Feel It Takes More Time To Boot When The Dalvik-Cache Is On /dev/ Partition....!
This Is Wht Yuh Guyx Have To Do...!
1). Do Make A Nandroid Backup Before Doing Any Thing (So That If Something Goes Wrong, Yuh Can Restore As It Were Before)
2). Extract One Of The Attached File Then Copy The Extracted File (02dalvik2cache) To /system/etc/init.d/ ==> Yuh Can Use Root Explorer To Do This...!
3). Set Permission To rwxrwxrwx (Tick All)
4). Restart
First Boot Might Take Time...! Check Ur Internal Memory Nd If Everything Worked Fine U'll See The Difference And The Best Thing Is There Is No Performance Issue..!
FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAY WHY NOT MOVE IT TO SD-EXT...!
=> Sd Cards Are Not Fast As The Internal Memory Even Yuh Have A Class 10 Card...!
Moving Dalvik-Cache To Sd-Ext Might Lead Yuh To Performance Issues
In My Opinion Never Move Dalvik-Cache Or Apps Data To Sd-Ext, It Will Slow Down Everything..! If Yuh Want To Move Just Move Applications...!
If Anyone Wants To Correct Me.. Go Ahead...!
IF THIS THING HELPED YUH HIT THANKX...!=)

When installing apps from play market sometimes it shows some error
Running services shows most on every app restarting which leads to ram usage at 0 and total free ram is more
But I think that this leads to that some apps not work, like on screen keyboard not showing all the time
Reverted back because mobile phone was very slow

Hello all devs, I have a suggestion that I think many people that cant unlock the bootloader will think very nice.
The sugestion is that the devs if they time to make a version like JJs hybrid rom for locked bootloaders.
I have also tried the Miui rom, and I removed the format script and boot.img and it booted fine without any major problems.
So my sugestion is that the devs makes their roms for stockkernel for people with locked bootloader, and makes a deletion script that removes all the files from the old rom.
Devs, what do you think about my idea?
Thats not possible to remove format script...
If you dont format system partition, it will be overloaded with applications and frameworks from Old and New ROM... the two ROM appz might not share the same sign keys... that would result in Bootloop or Series of FCs on install...

Here are a solution that I think maybe works:
First create a homemade format script that removes all the stuff on partiation, but it doesnt run the format options, it just deltes everything manually from recovery.
And then just remove the format script from the roms zipfile and remove the boot.img too.
Then just resign the zip file with sign by enyblock.
Thats should work, maybe somebody can try it?

thats practically not possible either...
MIUI, CM9 have different appz and framework...
applications aside, who has enough time to write a delete script for more than a thousand lib and other system files?..
I am trying to find out the files that don't load on statup after installing a flashable zip on Locked bootloaders... that is better way of finding a solution..

This is why most custom ROMs require custom kernel
Needs unlocked bootloader
(actually hybrom does not contain a boot image.Thus, when you install hybrom you don't mess with your boot image at all.BUT recovery from nAa is installed in /system and while system is formated during the installation of hybrom,recovery messes with it self.That's why unlocked bootloader and a custom kernel with recovery is necessary for now to install hybrom)

It means, that if Recovery is installed in /system folder, and you want to install custom ROM, which (mostly) replaces the system folder, Recovery would be removed and would end up in complete stop with bootloop.
If Recovery is installed in the kernel, then the whole /system partition can be removed without affecting the Recovery at all.
Also, stock kernels have quite low functionality, that's why it is not widely used.

Loading the ROM is not the problem, it is the functionality.
Modifying stock kernel can be done, but if you want to make it work, you have to unlock bootloader to install it also.

How to:
Install Link2sd
Open link2sd
Choose your ext depend on your sdext
Restart your phone manually, not from link2sd
Go to Link2sd settings
uncheck all options
exit from link2sd
Open root explorer or other file manager that have root access
Go to /data/sdext2, delete all folder if exist
Go back to /data
Copy app, data, app-private, and dalvik-cache to /sdext2
Wait a moment
Go to /sdext2
Create link to app (Long press the folder, scroll down, and choose "Link to this folder")
Go back to /data, and choose create link
There is a warning, and choose YES
Repeat this to data, app-private, and dalvik-cache
After that, restart your phone twice, and look at internal storage.

so basicly what this does?oO
and you werent quite clear on your tutorial how to do it... seems a bit complicated...

AngelusPT,
Link2sd settings,. Sorry
edit: cancel it
Thanks for the info...I will try this on my S5830 with Jellaxy 10.1, I am having problem with Link2SD and free space in /data because only apps linked to /sdext have its dalvik-cache linked too.
UPDATE: I 've messed up my phone , but I had many applications already installed. I will try after a fresh install
I've try this trick. awesome, csn reduce my internal memori use extremely. But problem shown when I'm installed new app and linked it, it always got force close. Is there something wrong?
P.S. sorry for my bad english
Sent from my HS-E910 using xda app-developers app
@sihung, you don't need to link your app.
Can I use this on S5830i???
And i already have 150 apps linked do can I use this???
But I don't wanna unlink or delete them
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda premium
I think you can use it on S530i.
You can try this tutorial in a fresh phone.
What makes this "extreme" exactly?.. Links2SD is Links2SD and has been around for quite some time. It should work on all custom kernels without issues (won't work on stock roms). Fresh installs are the better choice as link2SD decides what is best for the app automatically.
There is another thread in the dev section which explains properly how to set this up.
Great app btw..
I wonder what was the experience of the earlier users as they didnt mention the results/experience with this trick. I would try this and post the results by tomorrow probably
Works grt.. Thanks for the guide...Cheers !! :good:
Maybe you missed to include one step in the guide,
Step 6: while uncheking all options under Link2DS settings > under Native Apps2sd sttings..choose install location as internal..
Hope it helps !!

good job!
i'm using this now.works great!it is easy to do.but if you're new to android,you will be confuse with the tutorial.
to make things clear,if you ever heard of "app2sd" or "S2E",the idea is just the same.it is just manually mounting sdext2 as the default install location.we just just have to take advantage of the script created by the link2sd app.
this will work on stock or custom rom that has init.d.and you don't have to manually link apps using libk2sd app.the system will decide where to install.after you done this,link2sd app will be useless.
Where is that "init.d" be found?
And what particular root explorer app that has so called "linking" capability?

it's in system/etc/init.d.your rom should have init.d support.if your on stock rom,try the init.d enabler via terminal emulator,via cwm,or via app.i think you will have that option in root explorer if you have installed the link2sd.
Hi!
I have a problem in LG G2 mini of my brother!
He have make upgrade by wifi to Lollipop but he see that System Data
is too big 3,76Gb.
I have tryed to update with LG Flash Tool two times but System Data
increase to 4,11Gb.
How can I resolve that?
The phone is original, still under warranty and never root that.
Is a solution?
I have set twenty LG G2 Mini and this is the only one that have this
problem.
Thanks to everything.
On KitKat, it only shows user accessible space (a little less than 4GB).
On Lollipop, it shows the whole storage chip (8GB), including the ~4GB taken up by the system.
I am gonna be as clear as I can:
You cannot take that space back, as it is required for the system to work!

That won't change anything. (You need root anyway)
System apps are stored on the system partition ( /system ) which by itself is 2GB and you can't change its size without root. However, even if you had root, it is very dangerous and the stock Lollipop ROM leaves ~30MB free on it, so the system would brake (and you would end up with a soft-bricked phone).
The other 2GB are taken by other partitions, all of which are required and you can't reduce their size.
Sorry

Ok, thanks for the reply. But it's strange that in my smartphone there isn't this separation, while in 4 smartphone I noticed it but of different sizes. Why different sizes? Strange...can you tell me also that my curiosity ?
2 gigs for system folder, 700 mb for cache. Plus some folders between 200 and 500. Maybe some carrier chances using or not these folders. Would need to look further to find the reason.

Delete everything under /data/dalvik-cache and then reboot immediately!
If the system needs any of those files, it will recreate them on boot.
