With Link2SD i moved a lot of applicaton to the system partition, but i had problems with shazam and opera classic. They doesn't work and if i try to re-pass them to the user partition, Link2SD give me the error: write: No space left on device. (but i've a lot of space!!). This happens also with the others applications.
How can i solve? I've wiped cache by recovery but the problem remains.. any suggestions?
EDIT: it's the dalvik cache.. I've two directory /cache/dalvik-cache and /data/dalvik-cache. If i clean the first the space problem disappear and i can do anything perfectly.. but when i reboot, the dalvik is recreated and the space is full again (cache).
This is the question: the apps i've moved to the rom memory (system memory) create a too large dalvik-cache (i think). I would like to move the dalvik-cache of this applications to the user memory (not to the sd card). Integrate /cache/dalvik-cache in /data/dalvik-cache. Is possible?
How can i do?

Hmmm...dalvik-cache from system apps can't be move into ext partition using link2sd...link2sd keep it at cache/dalvik-cache so your phone can boot faster and can open system apps quicker...
but if you want to really move those dalvik-cache you have to use other apps than link2sd... This Apps can do the job but remember you need to restore all files that have been link using link2sd first...both app can't work together so you need to uninstalled link2sd before you can use it....also remember this app might not work on certain phone and rom...make Nandriod backup before you attempt to try this apps...

Hmmmm...so far as i tested, there no problem with it....there a big different between Mounts2SD and Link2SD...Link2SD only link the apps/lib/dalvik-cache on install apps but not on system apps while Mounts2SD is moving apps/data/lib/dalvik-cache and even system cache to your ext partitions...the setup also quite easy using Mounts2SD but the big disadvantage about Mounts2SD is you can't uninstall apps using it...you have to use default way in settings/apps to uninstalled it or use and app uninstaller...the big advantage about Mounts2SD is you will have more free space (around 95%) in internal memory cause after moving all apps/data/lib/dalvik-cache....

After those problems i restored a nandroid backup and only integrated the updates of six apps in the rom with Titanium Backup, this is a problem for Mount2SD now? (you said i must to restore link done with Link2SD etc. before).
Can you explain me the steps i must do? I want to move some applications to the system memory (with Mount2SD you said) and leave their dalvik-cache to /data/dalvik-cache (not necessarily that of all the default system apps)

Hey,can anybody can explain 2 me,what is function and benefits of this things? -App2sd,dalvik2sd and ext2,3,4
Sent from my X10mini using XDA App
App2sd is exactly what is sounds like, it allows for you to move apps to your sd-card.
Dalvik2sd moves the dalvik cache to sd.
Ext (extended file system) is a type of partitioning that is needed to be done to your sd-card to implement app2sd on 2.1, if you however choose to flash a 2.2 or 2.3 rom, no partitioning of the sd-card is necessary to move apps.
Ok,but im still dont understand about the dalvik cache.btw thnks there for your xplanation!!

Dalvik is part of what Android uses to run programs (it's pretty complicated) if you don't have a deep understanding of how OS and programs interact.
Moving the cache that Dalvik uses to the SD and off the internal phone storage, needless to say, frees up space on your phone.

How can I move all Dalvik cache to sd ?
'cause i'm using Link2SD to move downloades apps2sd and their cache but no the system apps
You want to move the dalvik cache to SD or the system apps?
I don't think you can move system apps without flashing a different mod like CM.
Have you tried a2sdfroyo and NotEnoughSpace in the market?

I have CM6 for MiniPro
I didn't.. NotEnoughSpace it's better than Link2SD ?
I want to move all Data and DalvikCache to SD.. can I do that?
Isn't there's an option of selecting which file you want to move to SD in "Link2SD".
You should have an options of 3 choices to tick with.
1) Link application file
2) Link dalvik-cache file
3) Link library files(if app uses library files)
With above options you would be able to move all installed app's data plus its associates files to SDcard.
*still you need to partition your SDcard to have Link2SD to work. But this is the best move since app2sd is not user friendly(it running in the background without user controlable) and froyo wouldn't move all user installed app as one thought of... froyo only give certain apps privillage to move files which depending on apps developer requirements.
I have mine running froyo yet still having link2sd installed for more user control of which file to move where...
After all, your SDcard should also in larger size(8GB or 16GB) to enjoy the moving apps freedom..
Hi
I tried searching for simple answers on the forums my queries, no luck. guess i need to improve my search skills
I have rooted my LG Optimus One p500 running stock 2.2.2 V10E.
I don't want any apps residing in the internal memory.
When i move apps to SD card using app2sd some data of the app is still left in the internal memory. Why is this so ?
Will titanium backup move it completely ?
Also what app should i use to remove stock bloatware apps ? will titanium backup do ?
How do i clear dalvik's cache using a free app or using busybox ? Is it safe to do so in the first place.
Any apps that do a good job of clearing internal memory ?
I think you can't move the entire app to SD, even with darktremor's a2sd, the app still having some "parts" on the SD...
You can clear Dalvik Cache with Titanium Backup as well you can remove bloatware and backup yous apps and settings.

Some apps can't be moved to SD-card via apps2sd or what that app is called. Is there any other way you can move those apps to your sd-card?

Some apps cannot be moved to the SD card even when you have used the "pm setInstallLocation 2" command using adb, alot of widget, live wallpapers, some social networking apps like tweetcaster, and system maintenence apps all install to /data no matter what, to save space usually i push these apps to /system/app that way they work correctly as they are installed to the nand, but they dont take the space up in data ]
I hope soon someone will get apps2sd working on our devices, this symlinks /data/app/ and /data/dalvikcache/ to and ext partition on your sd card and not only saves space, but you dont have to worry about the install location of an app you may want to start at boot or sync using the native android sync settings
Over in the arc development section there is a whole thread on apps2sd and how to get it working properly maybe give that a shot and see if it works for the play

good morning,
my ace has 233 ginger installed, rooted.
I always used titanium back to move apps from telephone memory to SD.
I just discovered that linksd makes the same thing.
Reading around it seems the link2sd move completely the applications leaving only the link in the internal memory, but I don't know if titanium makes the same.
I'm wondering Which are the differences between these two methods and which is the best program to move applications?
thanks
I use Titanium Backup to move to SD and it must transfer the files to SD and leaves a link on the internal because amount of ram available increases on the internal drive.
I have had no issues with it.

noboddy has tested both the applications to understand which is the best one?
I think titanium makes a mount point for each moved app, and link2sd a symbolic link. Dunno what's better though. I would say... Test it in performance, comparability and memory usage...

I just install S2E and then restore all my apps using Titanium Backup. S2E installs them in the SD automatically so I don't have to stop to batch move them so the SD.
Titanium uses the older method in which apps are stored on the FAT partition and mounted, link2sd needs a second ext4/3 partition and simlinks each app. link2sd method is better as it doesn't need to wait to mount on first login. Titanium leaves dalvik cache on internal, link2sd moves it to ext partition and so it saves more space. s2e and a2sd is similar to link2sd but they symlink the whole folder, which is less flexible but easier to manage.

And that's exactly the problem with link2sd: it runs late. So the apps it links to aren't available while the sdcard is scanned for icons and file paths. Consequently it often (ie. always in my case!) has to restart or "soft boot" the device, which is annoying to say the least. I even had some unusable apps that couldn't take the fuzz. All probs repaired easily, but then, why bother? I kept the 500MB ext2 partition, though, might come in handy some day.
I suggest using ext2 as a general rule: ext3/ext4 are created with a log by default. This log carries changes to any data on disk and is flushed out from time to time by a special kernel thread. While this can speed operation and even safe guard against data corruption it is also unsuitable for flash storage and puts load on the wear levelling block driver beneath it _if there is one_! Now ext3/ext4 can be created and mounted without a log, but you'd have to trust other peoples/devs judgement to get this right. Not a problem with ext2. Ext4 is really fast and reliable, but with flash the bottleneck is elsewhere.

Exactly.
I use both the apps, and you can make them working togheter for the best backup - restore experience on our SGA:
simply do this:
1) set autolink option "on" and install location option to "external" within Link2SD before installing the apps, all will be linked to SD automatically.
2) set "restore backups to ..." option to "Internal storage" within Titanium backup before restoring.
Once you do this, apps restored with titanium will be auto linked.
WARNING: don't link app like launchers (and related, like theme) or keyboards.
Hm, I've not had those problems with link2sd. I do agree that s2e method is simpler and less prone to possible errors; a sym linked dir doesn't need a service to relink per application as link2sd does. And I agree that if you are unsure about disabling journaling on ext4, then ext2 is a better default. Annoyingly sd-ext seems to mount as ext3 by default, so I manually edited init.d to mount as ext4 and removed journaling.

Tips from me. After installing apps, quickly link to sd. Why? That because when your internal memory smaller than your application data you cannot link your app.

Try move to sd app. you need root permission for that.. It wil work :good:
Link2SD needs ext2/3 partition to work...I think :/
Sent from my MsM7xxx usin BCM21553...
No it doesn't. It only requires an ext partition when you 'link' apps, as what yusrilramadhan has suggested. Moving apps to the SD card does not require an ext partition, rather the app is moved to .android_secure as a .asec file. The app data is left in /data.
You can access these .asec files in /mnt/secure/asec, provided you have root.
Link2SD can both link and move apps to the SD Card, while a host of other root apps can do the same, such as Titanium Backup.
If I remember correctly, GingerKat is a CM7.2 ROM, which means that you can move apps to SD through settings (provided you change some CM settings) but this is generally not recommended.
while formatting sdCard in Mini Partition Tool, did you make both partitions as active?
if not, it wont work
