Dalvik to Cache

[jeannieindigital]

Anyone successfully moved Dalvik to Cache on the V? I tried a couple of methods. All seemed to break something else in the process.

Tried that one and it broke the Wifi. Have tried several and they all broke something else in the process & had to wipe the phone, reflash & start over. Hoping someone could find a method specifically for the V.

I would love this. I had it on my Intercept and it freed up ~80MB of space for apps.

Whouldnt this affect the phones speed as in make it slightly faster?

Dalvik-to-cache does not move the Dalvik to your SD card. It moves it to the already-present INTERNAL cache partition.

You are right. I was grossly misinformed. Post Deleted.

Any devs found a working dalvik-to-cache method for the V that doesn't break something else in the process and sticks after reboot?

 

[jeannieindigital]

Now that there seems to be more movement on development for the V, any dev's willing to take this on? There is a method over in the S forum but it does not seem to work on the V. Could have something to do with the differences in ramdisk between the two phones?

Any takers on this challenge? This would quite possibly free up 30-40MB of internal storage for us.

Zefie's CM7 has dalvik to cache built in. Not sure on Froyo.

I didn't come here just to advertise, but... yeah. Just finished writing up how to do it over here.

Optimus V -- Dalvik cache to /cache

 

[digitaljeannie]

Yeah, I tried that back when I got the phone and it didn't stick. Also broke my wifi. Was hoping a dev would be able to develop a method specifically for the V.

I just tried that method and it worked perfectly gained about 80 mb of space!! Wifi is working fine. No issues that I see. Did you make sure to have a partitioned sd card before you tried this? That maybe why it didnt work right for you? If I notice any problems I'll let you know but so far so good!

Edit: Day 2 and I still have not had any issues. It works perfectly!!

 

[primetechv2]

well That's odd. My wifi is working just fine... As to my SD card, it's partitioned pretty normally as far as SD cards go. It had been formatted for apps2sd on my original Intercept, but my Optimus would never accept the card until I reformatted it with only one partition.

any more specific errors?

Does anyone have any info as to whether or not this is even needed for a custom ROM such as RodimusROM or Xionia + Stock? Don't they already do this for us?

Im using the rodimus rom and yes it is needed but like I said make sure to partition your sd card with your recovery program cause otherwise I dont think it will work right I got 80 extra megabytes from doing this! Follow the instructions to a tee!

 

[digitaljeannie]

D2C has nothing to do with your SDcard. It moves the dalvik to the internal cache partition.

So this would screw with my boot animation? I mean, granted it does freeze in mid animation, but it's better than the Virgin Mobile one or an incorrect one such as Sprint.

The linked flashable zip changes your kernel and boot splash. Your boot animation remains the same
