Is there a way to clear dalvik cache using terminal emulator or we have to flash the dalvik cleaner zip?

By the way cron my dev added this script in his rom and its working fast and flawlessly thankyou soooooooo much for this.

Just dont understand why ppl need 2/3/4+ gb of space when all that you need it for is apps
[Android Software Development] I.M.G:
btw sie cron, int2ext4+ works well with adrenaline (remember what i asked you)

tnx for the script! :thumbup:

i have problem only with the batt, coz i noticed slight fast batt drain.

i will test ur other script..

[Android Software Development] Yokav:
What do you mean by "eject it first"? Eject the sd-card threw the options of the phone before to plug it to the computer?

For my part, I'm using Fedora 17 with gnome too. But I don't known how it works on Ubuntu when you plug an usb device, with Fedora it mounts this device automatically.

If the ext partition of the sd-card is mounted automatically and if it contains the /data/data folder, that's the case where the phone will crash, because as I see this, the phone need to be able to access the /data/data folder all the time.

BTW, I decided to fork your script. :D

I leave all the files of /data on the internal memory, except the folders /data/app and /data/data which I move to the sd-card. I did that try to have a more responsiveness phone. And compare to the INT2EXT it seams to be a little bit faster.
[Android Software Development] replay00:
Having kind of the same issue. Created an ext3 partition using minitool, flashed but /sd-ext does not exist. Using CM9.1

)also tried mounting system)

Thanks for the script
[Android Software Development] nukeblitz:
Where is dalvik on your phone? Can you stress test it? I put /data/app, /data/dalvik-cache and /data/data on external using int2ext4 as base. At around 120 installed apps, the lag became unbearable...and so I gave up on that little experiment. I wanted to put dalvik on internal and try again but haven't gotten round to doing that yet
[Android Software Development] Yokav:
@replay00: I'm using CM9.1 too and it works fine so it should not be the ROM.

On your sd-card, the first partition should be in FAT32 and the second partition must be in ext3, both of them must be a "main partition" and not an "extended partition".

@nukeblitz: Dalvik-cache is on the internal memory. Unfortunately I don't have 120 apps to install. :p But maybe that we could find a script for testing that speed. But anyway, what's the goal to keep your cache on the sd-card? You will never need to backup it and it's one more thing which read/write on the sd-card. Unless you don't have a lot of free internal memory.

Another good tips will be to move some important application to /system, so those apps will no be read on the /data/app from sd-card but "unfortunately" they will still use the /data/data folder.
[Android Software Development] replay00:
I created it as a "primary" partition in minitool so that shouldnt be the problem...

The same happened when I created the partition with clockwork mod, no /data/sd-ext folder.

Is there anything else I could try? or should i just flash the rom again and repartition...

Thanks for the answer.
[Android Software Development] nukeblitz:
My /system is pretty full. And system apps take up space in dalvik anyway.

I'm looking for balance in which the script is reasonably fast but doesn't have space limits like int2ext4+

My phone has 150MB internal memory and 59MB cache. And if I leave /data/data on internal, it fills up pretty fast.

I've got a few ideas in my head...

For example,

/cache and dalvik in the 150MB

All the folders in /data except /data/anr /data/app and /data/data in the 59MB

Those three folders in ext4 partition

I'll test this and see if the speed is acceptible...
[Android Software Development] Yokav:
@replay00: The partition is not mount in /data/sd-ext but directly as /sd-ext. With CWM, you're able to format the /sd-ext partition?

You should now that you will no see this "/sd-ext" at the end, it's hide, the only way to known if it works or not, it's to type "mount" into a terminal (but it's not easy to understand to answer given by the terminal :p) or check the space used/available into the /data folder.

But I finally, think that if your problem is the same as "mohazia". So you're still able to install apps, those new apps works fine but they're not store on your sd-ext, then it's just that the script of croniccorey is not running at all. This script is stored into /etc/init.d folder, check if the file is there. And if it's there, it could be the fault of the ROM, I read somewhere that some ROM doesn't support that initialization scripts.

@nukeblitz: For me, the cache files of the system apps are saved into the /cache folder and not into /data/cache.

You're talking about a space limit with int2ext4+, which one? You can create a sd-ext partition of 32Go if you want. :p

You could also try a partition in ext3, it could be more faster. Normally it should not as croniccorey add some options to the mount of the ext4 partitions to disable that.

But for your information, I made many tests to try to find the better "way". And in all case, there is only thing which make your phone slower is... the /data/data folder. You can put all the things that you want on the sd-card it will be fast, except the /data/data.
[Android Software Development] nukeblitz:
I never mentioned any /data/cache

That's interesting...so, according to you, it's/data/data on internal for speed - no way around it...

Thanks
[Android Software Development] Yokav:
Yes, but it's just my point of view. ;)

I do all my tests with a fresh install of a CM9.1 ROM. It's only with /data/data on the sd-card that the phone is so slow, any action take two more times than when it's on internal. It's not unusable but less "responsive" so you've to adapt your use of your phone.

It could be also be my hardware which is not "fast" enough: I'm using a Xperia Neo V, rom CM9.1 with no special enhancement, sd-card Lexard 32Go class 10
[Android Software Development] replay00:
oooooh i see now i undestand. Thanks a lot im going to go check that right now.

EDIT: alright the script file is there. So, typing mount in th terminal gives a bunch of text o have no idea what it means lol is there anything i should be looking for? So, if the /sd-ext folder is hidden, how do i know apps are being installed there?

Thanks again!

I have the § KimsMod Ultimate § + INT2EXT and works good.

My Sd card has three partitions:

FAT32- 26,78 Gb

Ext4 - 2 Gb

Swap - 564,59 Mb

My steps are:

1- Backup apps from Titanium Backup

2- From recovery backup the rom , for security.

3- From recovery wipe dalvick cache

4- From recovery wipe data

5 -From recovery wipe cache

6- From recovery Flash rom

8- Reboot and not configure any accounts, wait to load the rom completely

9- Reboot recovery , install Cronmod INT2EXT+ and reboot

10 - Configure google accounts and from Titanium Backup restore apps
[Android Software Development] Yokav:
@replay00: Here is the structure of a "mount" result in a terminal

##Source## ##Directory where is mount the source## ##Extra options##

So you should have a line where the "directory of mount" = /data, for it, what's the source? It should be /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

Damn, I've a problem. :p

Actually I make my tests with a fresh install of a ROM and all my apps are install automatically with the ROM. But now that for the first time I tried to install an app from the market, I got this error "Not enough free space". And I've enough space everywhere.... I see that another user had the same problem "rocketero".

Do you have found a way to solve this? Or will I have to do like him and to mount the partition before the boot of android.
[Android Software Development] replay00:
uuuh it says "/dev/block/stl13"

is that good enough? ._.

good i hate asking so many questions... thanks a lot for all the help
[Android Software Development] Yokav:
No, this partition "/dev/block/stl13" should be your internal memory, it must be "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2" if the script works correctly.

You should also have ""/dev/block/stl11", ""/dev/block/stl12" or something like this for mount point /cache and /system.

So finally the problem should be what I explain before:
[Android Software Development] nukeblitz:
Also make sure the script has the right perms
[Android Software Development] thunder888:
This my option when use AOKP ROM on my Neo :

I use ext2 format for sd-ext partition

Flash ROM

Flash INT2EXT+ Cronmod

Reboot

Install TB, make intergrate dalvik cache into system rom on preference menu and main menu. And clean up dalvik cache too.

Restart to recovery and flash gapps

Go to TB again and do intergrate dalvik cache into system rom once again (do this again when install system apps from recovery mode)

Restore apps from TB
[Android Software Development] TMSsecret:
I have followed all steps as instructed. Made a fresh install with Nikez JP p10 ROM for HTC Desire. Rebooted to recovery, installed cronmod int2ext4+, then partitioned sd ext with 4ext touch recovery. I had a 512mb sd-ext. first boot successful. was able to view internal with sd ext size. I installed some apps from store and still running as a charm.

However, when I turned my phone off for the first time (i was just checking if he could reboot). It got stuck on bootanimation for about 10min after that i pulled the battery and did a factory reset through recovery. After that it was still on bootanimation. Could the script have affected my boot time so that it takes 10min+ ? Or is this rom not ready ?

I would like to use this script.
[Android Software Development] I.M.G:
yeah!

if u have so many apps

it takes very long time to boot..

btw, try to wipe dalvik cache using the wiping tool..
[Android Software Development] Yokav:
@TMSsecret: It's not normal to be stuck at the bootanimation. During the first boot, it could be long because all the apps are copied to the sd-card but it's only for the first boot.

And you use the script INT2EXT+ which is fast, so you should not see any difference when the script is enable or not.

Does your launcher is store into /data or into /system? Maybe that your phone tried to access to the launcher before that the script mount your sc-card. I don't known exactly when the launcher is loaded compare to the initialization scripts, maybe that croniccorey could give you more information about that.
[Android Software Development] g0ldb3rg:
Hello everybody, i'm using INT2EXT+ from a 16gb class 4 SD, and using it with an HTC HD2 and the latest tytung rom.

My phone always worked flawlessly with cronmod script, but here's the issue i've been experiencing lately: when i try to download something, it sometimes downloads it, but tells me that the download failed later, and it sometimes downloads a .htm file that is much smaller than the one i was downloading. Could this problem be somehow script related? Did anyone experience this? I've read the first post and saw the INT2EXT+ Xperia Testing Copy, which is for those phones that lose data connection, but i always download file while i'm on Wi-Fi. What could be the problem?

Edit: i also get the low sound issue, but that is easily fixed by fixing permission and rebooting phone.
[Android Software Development] rchood:
Hi,

i like your script, only i had the problem that my sound was very soft.

I just flash cm9 with int2ext+.

wanted to know one thing.

If i reflash the rom do I need to reflash the int2ext+ everytime ?
[Android Software Development] g0ldb3rg:
Like 3.5gb of free space. I'm using this script, so i don't really see what's left of my system storage.

Yes
[Android Software Development] mbunal:
You are wrong. Your data partition is 3.5 gb. Your system partition differ then it is at least 170 mb. That is rom needs. So what is your system partition? All int2ext+ script uses data/data on nand. Dalvik cache is there. I use link2sd. I have something when my system partition was low. Just because this i really want to switch to nativesd rom.

low sound bug

Hi guys, I have tried looking through the thread but no so many people are having the low sound bug issue lately. I still am. I am using nexushd2 ics rom 2.7 and have tried data2sdx, mounts2sd, int2ext+, int2ext+ low sound version. I have fixed permission on multiple occasions but the sound is ok for a few hours and then suddenly it goes low again, without a restart. What should I do next? I am really tired of this low sound issue :(

[Android Software Development] bandino:
Hi Guys,

Today I have a strange issue.

I am using the NexusHD2 ICS 4.0.4 ROM by tytung (v.2.7 & 3.5 kernel) and croniccorey's excellent INT2EXT+ script on my Eu (512 MB) HD2.

Till know this combination worked perfectly.

But today, during the installation of Google Chrome browser I got the known "Low on space - Phone storage space is getting low" error message.

I was supprised because previously I setted my ext4 partition to 2 GB. I checked my internal storage and found that I had 1.3 GB free and 594 MB used space on my HD2.

( I had146 MB free and 278 MB used RAM and 4.5 GB free space on my 16 GB SD card.)

I checked the situation with Titanium backup and this was the result:

System ROM: 199 MB (24.4 MB free)

Internal: 2.02 GB (1.50 GB free)

SD card: 13.7 GB (4.81 GB free)

SD card (a2sd): 227 MB (9.50 MB free) <------- ??????

After uninstalling the chrome browser the error message disappeard and Titanium data modified:

System ROM: 199 MB (24.4 MB free)

Internal: 2.02 GB (1.50 GB free)

SD card: 13.7 GB (4.81 GB free)

SD card (a2sd): 227 MB (42.4 MB free) <------- ??????

What could be the explanation of this message and how can I solve this problem? Previously I thought that using 2 GB ext4 partition I really had UNLIMITED internal space for installing programs. Probably I do not understand the essence of this script :(

Thank you for your help.
[Android Software Development] tatchii:
Hi,

I installed INT2EXT+ script on my galaxy gio, and now I've 1.8 Gb free space on ly internal memory.. But when I install an app, it's install on internal momery not on sd card.. It's normal?

If yes, this script give just better free space on internal memory but don't move app on sd card?

It's better or not?

Sorry but i'm an novice so ^^ And sorry for my bad english :p
[Android Software Development] stealthware:
Yes its normal for me because int2ext+ change /data to /ext-card

But check in app2sd for app install on internal or sdcard ;)
[Android Software Development] dk75:
SD card (a2sd): could be the explanation?

If you use INT2EXT+ it shouldn't be here.

Post result of

adb shell ls -lAh /etc/init.d
[Android Software Development] tatchii:
So I can install both of them? INT2EXT and app2sd?

And if I install app2sd, my phone will be less smooth because all app wiil be in sd card? (I've an 16 class sd card)
[Android Software Development] stealthware:
Just install int2ext...

App2sd just inform your install in internal or sdcard

But all install will be to ext-card

For your phone smooth please partition sd card with swap...

And activate with swapper :)

Sorry for my bad english
[Android Software Development] tatchii:
Thank you but why create a swap partition? I've an ext4 partition already.. And with swapper ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEwOSwib3JnLmF6YXNvZnQuZnJlZS5zd2FwcGVyIl0. ) apparently don't need swap partition..
[Android Software Development] dk75:
Because SWAP in file is much slower that SWAP on partition.
[Android Software Development] tatchii:
Ok :) And how can I create it?
[Android Software Development] dk75:
CWM partitioning tool (will clear fully all of your SDCARD) or partition manager on computer (GParted is the best with GUI).
[Android Software Development] bandino:
I got this result:

"error: device not found"

Does it mean that a script is not running?

Strange result, because before I gave this command in terminal emulator I tried to reflash the script in CWM.
[Android Software Development] stealthware:
Why need partition swap, because cache your app process in there or swap is virtual ram

Use swapper 2 in mode advance not default

In advance mode you can mount swap partition

Set swap partition 2x your ram...

If your ram is 278 x 2 = 556

Set swap to 556 :)
[Android Software Development] dk75:
Did you connected your phone by USB to computer?

Did you set USB connection to "debug" mode?

Did "adb devices" shown your device in connected list?

As for script, it could be some script from your rom release.

I had apps2sd, mountext, zipalign and cache2cache. And I'm thinking at removing journalism, as having journal on ext3/4 isn't bad idea even on flash memory.

Once I disabled it on some Gingerbread rom, and after a week, my sd-ext partition went corrupt and loosed week amount of essential data, as I needed to wipe it and reflash from week old backup.
[Android Software Development] mohazia:
I tried every things, I first partition my HTC Desire HD via 4EXT Recovery touch then wipe all partitions and flash MIUI_v4 then I boot then I reboot in recovery and flash INT2EXT+ and wipe sd-ext, the mobile go into reboot loop. then I tried to flash INT2EXT+ directly after flashing the ROM, same problems, I tried to integrate INT2EXT+ with setting the permission, same results. I tried to repatriation via miniTool, also same problem. then I tried A2SD++ also same problem, plz can u guide me.

Hello,

In the first page, this is indicated: if you already use a A2SD/D2EXT/INT2EXT script then you will need to remove it completely

How can I be sure ? Can I see if an other script exists, directly in the folder /system/etc/init.d/ ?

Thanks in advance
[Android Software Development] dk75:
Yes.

That's why I recommend in 2 days in row for 2 users to list their "/system/etc/init.d/" directory.

As I've said before, I personally had on [ICS]Sandwich deLuxe v6.2, scripts: 05mountext, 07cache2cache, 08darky_zipalign and 10apps2sd; which all needed to be deleted in order for INT2EXT+ to work properly.
[Android Software Development] pitsensas:
I will try tomorrow to install this script on the Galaxy Ace S5830 of a friend. I will be sure I don't generate some bugs because I will have only 30 minutes.

So, I need to know how I can check if I don't have the differents bugs (GPS, IMEI number lost and low sound) ?

For GPS, there are some files for GPS store in /data . But, which ones ?

For IMEI, I think in "about the phone" menu in the paramaters ?

Thanks in advance
[Android Software Development] Newtt:
Hi,

Noob question I guess, but i couldn't find an answer on how to use these scripts. i flashed a2sd++ via recovery on Maclaw's CM9 RC2. Now, how do i move the apps to sd-ext. My Sd card is already partitioned with sd-ext using ext4 file system.

Thanks. :)
[Android Software Development] mixednuts:
That's it. You should now have quite a bit of additional space with regards to your internal storage, and new apps should have no issues installing barring space on your SD card.

One prob with this script is CWM Backup and restoring.. As this script makes the phone think sdext as data... CWM takes backup of the whole sdext as data.. this poses 2 problems..

1. while restoring the data partition gets restored to the phone data partition.. so, it takes hellof a lot of time to boot first time..i thinks the script moves all the apps from /data (where the cwm restored) all the apps to /sdext..

2. If I have apps more than my data partition can hold then, it becomes a problem while restoring.. eg: lets say my free data partition is 250 mb and i`ve 500mb of apps in sdext.. when i take a backup of such an installation and when i restore with cwm, all of the sdext is tried to restore to /data which is not possible??

Is there any workaround for these problems?? .
