We have 37 megabytes of cache storage on our phones, and I've never seen my cache go over 10 meg, is it possible to resize this partition and give more space to internal?
The usual Xx James xX only on mobile (XDA Premium)
I have always asked this myself too. It would be very useful :good:
Resizing system partitions are impossible as for now.

Was already asked on the original Link2SD thread but cannot find the answer anywhere there.
Say you have tons of stuff installed via Link2SD on /data/sdext2 (extX partition on SD card). Now:
- you go to recovery and wipe dalvik cache (or use something else to wipe it, does not exactly matter)
- on reboot, the cache gets rebuilt on /data
- hmmm, I said I have lots of stuff on SD
- so, you run out of space on /data ?! Now what?
IOW, how early does the Link2SD thing kick in? Does it prevent such things?
Hmmm... so, I wonder whether my question is too stupid or too difficult.
I'm also using link2sd with about 261 apps installed (according to Titanium Backup count)
Here's the step on my Optimus One (total internal memory: 209 MB)
before clear dalvik: I have about 78 MB free
1. boot to recovery (i'm using CWM) > advanced > wipe dalvik
2. reboot system
3. first time get into OS, there's notification low space on phone's memory
4. checked free space: only 28 MB free
I have to manually link dalvik cache to achieve the free space before (78 MB).
Thanks to the dev, on Link2SD 1.9.1 there is a menu to relink all dalvik cache at once, so I don't have to recreate link per one apps.
I think link2sd automatically link app-dalvik-lib files for newly installed apps only.
It can't detect a dalvik file recreated back into phone memory with apps still installed.
got the same problem.
It's a big issue when changing kernel and stuff
After installing XRON vb2.6 on my sister's Touchpad, I noticed 2GB was for the main, and the rest (approx 9gb) allocated to the SD Card (shared between WebOS)...
Is there a way to make the 2GB CM partition larger, as I believe some issues will arise if too many apps are installed (due to Davik cache being on same partition). I had this problem in the past with my Samsung Epic and found it was a royal pain in the arse once a lot of applications are installed, and the Davik cache precaching most resources on that system partition....
Is the Davik cache actually stored on same system partitions? Perhaps my concern is not necessary, however if it is, I want to resize at least to 4GB to be on the safe side.

Dalvik is moved to cache at boot. You shouldn't run in to that issue

i haven't encountered this topic in sgs3.
but this was also important in past android versions and phones.
mostly it was about the sdcard's(ext) cache.
i am using system tuner and i'm seeing both internal and external sdcard cache size and both of them are on 128. based on previous experience this is 128Kb. the dropdown menu has 6144 as the max option.
making the cache size larger for external sdcards certainly helped.
my question here is, do we need it for internal sdcard too?

Hi All
Really am getting tired of running out of memory on my rooted htc desire. I used the CyanogenMod and now the Mildwild 5.0 but i`m only managing to install around 5-6 apps before i get the memory is low notification and am unable to install anymore. Any ideas what i`m doing wrong before I go and buy a new phone to end this madness hehe?
For example According to Mounts2SD app my storage is
Internal (/data) 132mb of 147mb
External /sd-ext 75mb of 3.75gb
Cache /sd-ext/cache 75mb of 3.75gb
Applications 10.85mb
System apps 2.0kb
Data 53Mb
Dalvik Cache 70.97MB

Maybe your phone is running heavy apps in the background while you are not using them. Go to settings then apps and then go to running and choose some app and stop them from running while you are not using it.
Apps usually install to internal (/data) partition. Look into partitioning the sdcard and using link2sd to move apps and much of their data into the second partition (rooted phone requiered).
When you move apps to the sdcard, you are only transfering the apk file and libraries (if any). Dalvik cache and internal data go to the internal memory.
If theres free memory in the rom (/system) partition, consider converting your most used apps which remain on internal memory to system apps (youll be moving them from /data to /system).
I see in the partition table cat /proc/partitions a disk sda of about 25GB
...
8 0 25833472 sda
8 1 8 sda1
...
8 9 25536204 sda9
Is this space usable in any way? Or is this somehow the same as the dm-0 partition that is mounted to /SDCARD. Sda9 is not getting mounted. And I cannot find out what the type of disk is.
Or better: where do I find a description of the internal disk setup of the lemax2?
thanks in advance for your feedback,
Walter

Heyyo, EUI ROM chinese versions have a lot of bloatware that get their own partition...
The easiest solution is to do a format data via TWRP. It corrects the data partition and gives you full access to it again.
Doing a data wipe via TWRP does not solve the issue. Only formatting data partition does.

Thanks for the feedback.
I did do a format of data; that solved an issue with the data partition only showing 10gb, not 25gb.
So the situation I am showing is after the data format.
After the format there is still the sda disk of which no partition is mounted and the dm-0 data partition of 25gb.

Ah for that then I'm not too sure. Might be a question that is better suited to one of the skilled developers of ROMs as I have only tinkered
