I want one answer who I hope can solve all my doubts.
I installed Link2SD (v. 2.4.2, the latest).
I have about 25-30 apps, but they aren't all heavy (the heaviest is probably Subway Surfers, which is about 30 MB, but I also have got some apps which doesn't occupy neither 1 MB).
So I linked all the apps (both those which were in the internal memory, both those which were in SD card), and the internal memory busy showed in Settings -> Apps -> Apps Management was about 90 MB.
But I have one question: it's better link the apps to SD or move them?
My friend Woft says if I move the apps, it only move the apk, but the data will remain on the internal memory, and if I link them, it move all on the SD (apk and data). Is that the truth or there is some mistakes?
Another thing: why when I wipe the Dalvik Cache, the internal memory who before is 90 MB, it become 147 MB? (I wipe by the recovery mode).
I hope in an your answer and I'm sorry for my bad english, but I'm italian.
Hey bro the better option is to link the app.don't move the app to sd.linking a app is better than moving

if you will move the apps, widgets wont work for that app..
so better link the app.

Yes thats the Truth and just like they said. Linking is better. Good luck with that :good:
Is better to link the apps.
Clear cache and dalvik cache once a day.
The cache of the apps takes a lot of memory. XDA app haves like 12mb of cache.

Clearing the cache will only mean data is redownloaded, and the cache recreated when needed. It's a good idea if you're not planning to use the app, but if you're using it regularly, you might as well make use of that cache and clear it less often.
As for the dalvik-cache, once a day is overkill. You shouldn't have to do that ever, basically, but sometimes due to linking it's not cleared correctly. Considering it's rare enough, once a week (or more) is enough IMO.

I'm using liberated 008 and seems like no difference if i move apps to SD or internal storage. I have 15 megabytes left on internal storage and i moved almost all applications to the SD card and i still have 15 MB free space. Do i have to do something special to use this feature? I've tried to move apps with titanium backup and via manage applications. Seems like they moved and i still have low space. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
Yes, my phone is rooted.

Hey guys so I partitioned my sd card to 1gb and I installed 150 apps and games but my phone memory decreasing so fast and I getting the low on space message already I know this is due to the dalvik calche.
What happen if I press dalvik cache rebuild in the app2sdgui app? I really want more apps to be installed cos my a2sd space is 400mb+ more.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Dalvik cache will be rebuilt. But it's futile since the size will be the same. To increase phone memory move dalvik to sd card or reduce the number of apps.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
So you're saying if I rebuild them my internal memory will still be the same?
I have already did moved my dalvik to sd ext and I don't want to reduce my apps. Cos I use them all.
But its really funny, I did a test, first I checked my internal memory is 60mb, then I installed Rule The Sky from the market which is 30mb then I checked my internal memory it decreases to 30mb lol. Idk if the a2sd is working sometimes or not

As said above, pointless. Looks at data2sd if you have so much junk on your phone.

That you should use data2sd instead of messing with cache rebuilds which will do nothing useful wrt free space.
My question is what will happen if I press rebuild dalvik cache in the a2sdgui apps. Will my internal memory increases. Will it harm my apps. Will it make some of my apps stops working, fc or error?
Cos I'm really desperate to increase my internal memory to installed more apps cos my a2sd space is 400mb more

- It will rebuild the dalvik cache. Duh!
- No, already answered.

P.S. Use data2sd if you desparately need more space (and guess what, already said as well.)

Hey guys,
I'm having a weird thing happen with my internal storage on my phone.
I'm using stock XWLP7 firmware.
When I try and install an app it says I haven't got enough space, it tells me to delete 1.6gb (I'm trying to install a large Gameloft game)
Sure enough I look in settings-storage and I only have around 700mb available, but I should have ALOT more...... Where has it all gone?
I'm totally stumped and would be very great full for some help.
Here's a screen shot to explain my issue.
If I deduct the used memory from my total 11.49gb I should have 9.8gb spare! It tells me I only have 745mb available, does anyone know where it's gone? lol
Or why this happens?
Thank you guys!

Your screenshot is not displaying.
However you can move some big apps to SD
Thank you for your reply Jokesy!
I'm aware I can move apps to SD, but I would like to find out why my storage is all messed up.......
It just doesn't make any sense....
If anyone knows how to fix it and maybe get back my 9gb of storage I will be very greatful

Get app called sd maid and go through each section clearing stuff.
If you got cwm, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions and reboot.
Thats all i can offer, it may work!?
IRONY = XDA app, buggy and doesn't work properly!
Mod Edit - do not advocate warez
Thank you for your advice
I already have pro version if SD maid and regularly go through each section deleting stuff.
I also regularly wipe cache and dalvik cache. Probably do them both almost every other day!
Fix permissions whenever I install an app and I also zipalign all my apps.
So I don't really know what's going on..... It's really puzzling me.

The free storage displayed by the system usually only reflects the sdcards partition status, while the low space warning is probably talking about your /data/ partition.

This mod would probably reduce RAM performance and I don't really recommend using it.
The problem with Android getting slower over time can't be fixed with a simple solution like this one, the problem lies mainly in the accumulation of dalvik cache and other junk-like files. I recommend just maintaining your phone every day.
I personally have just set titanium backup to wipe some caches every night at 2AM and reboot the phone. You could also include dalvik cache in the wipe. I hope that helps you guys out
+1 to venoma!
I too wipe cache regularly and reboot it once a day! That reduces the lag quite considerably!

absolutely not necessary
dalvik-cache and cache is there to be filled
dalvik-cache needs to be filled with .dex files and there is no point cleaning it unless you have some stability issues with specific app. I'm sure you know that it gets filled on boot(if it was cleaned or if there is new app)
Cache partition doesn't get filled so much that you need to clean it every day.Actually mine is pretty empty..
Once I had 1500h uptime, and no problems with stability or laggness (no more than on cleaned phone). First I though that Android is badly made and that it needs to be restarted every few days and cleaning cache but after these 1500h I don't think any more
So what you get after "cache clean" and restart is (99.9%) placebo effect
Good to know mate, thanks. Someone should make a thread about debunking myths and performance in general.
But i really do think there are some junk files accumulated. Sometimes there are remnants of old .dex files and cache on some ROMs accumulate like crazy. Though those are only my personal observations.
Sd maid does a great job at removing junk files... It's like a ccleaner for Android... Is there a ccleaner for Android???

After I installed my last app I got a message about 1.mb of storage left but I am currently at 7gb free. I tried clearing as much cache as I can and still get it if I install an app. I am running the beans rom and never had problems till now. I also clear cache and dalvik in recovery.

Complete 16gb is not alocated for device storage.... you should move pictures, videos etc on sdcard

The pictures are not the problem since I have all my pictures on my sd card anyway. Also when I click on the pic, video it brings me to the gallery where all my pics are in folders on my sd.
And also I've tried uninstalling a few apps such as flipboard which was using around 200mb and still get the error. Also here is a screen shot of the issue.
Update. I went and wiped cache, data, system and internal storage (had an update anyway) and it is still there after restoring my apps.
I got the same thing yesterday, no idea where it's coming from.
