Moving Caches To The EXT2 Partition

[birdman81484]

Move Caches to EXT2 partition.

These commands are for moving caches to the ext2 partition of your sd card. This will only work if you have partitioned your sd card to ext2 format. If you do not know if your sd card has a ext2 partition, then you most likely do not. If you have applications running from your sd card then you most likely have a ext2 partition.

This has not yet been validated. But moving the caches to the ext2 partition should lower the risk of file corruption related to numerous read/write actions on your sd card.


NOTE: IF YOU ARE ENTERING THESE COMMANDS AFTER A WIPE AND HAVE NOT YET USED ANY OF THE APPLICATIONS LISTED BELOW. "rm -R" lines are not necessary. If you tried them it would return and error stating the file or directory does not exist. This is because a cache has not been created. This is because you have not yet browsed anything in order to force the system to create a cache or cache directory. In other words you cannot remove(rm = remove) what is not there.

All others, it matters not if you use the "rm -R" commands.If you have a cache on the phone this command is simply removing your cache from the phone. This frees up phone memory so you might as well try it. If you get an error message stating the file or directory does not exist, disregard it. It simply means that you have not used the cache for that application and therefore a cache or cache directory has not been created by the system. In other words you cannot remove(rm = remove) what is not there.

Enjoy!

rm -R cache
mkdir /system/sd/cache/streetCache
ln -s /system/sd/cache/streetCache cache

Market Cache

cd /data/data/com.android.vending
rm -R cache
mkdir /system/sd/cache/marketCache

rm -R webviewCache
mkdir /system/sd/cache/steelCache
ln -s /system/sd/cache/steelCache webviewCache

*NOTE*: If the above code does not work for steel browser because there is no cache folder try this:

cd /data/data/com.kolbysoft.steel
mkdir cache
cd cache
mkdir /system/sd/cache/steelCache
ln -s /system/sd/cache/steelCache webviewCache


MeetMe Cache

cd /data/data/com.stylem.meetme
rm -R cache
mkdir /sdcard/cache/meetmeCache
ln -s /system/sd/cache/meetmeCache cache


MySpace

cd /data/data/com.myspace.android
mkdir /system/sd/cache/files/myspace
rm -R files
ln -s /system/sd/cache/files/myspace files

Gmail

cd /data/data/com.google.android.gm/cache
rm -R webviewCache
ln -s /system/sd/cache/webviewCache webviewCache

also if you are so inclined here is a script that can be saved as transfer.sh (in a proper editing notepad)

chmod 0777 /data/local/bin/transfer.sh

mkdir /system/sd/cache
cd /system/sd/cache
mkdir /system/sd/cache/files

rm -R /data/data/com.android.vending/cache
mkdir /system/sd/cache/marketCache
ln -s /system/sd/cache/marketCache /data/data/com.android.vending/cache

rm -R /data/data/com.android.browser/cache/webviewCache
mkdir /system/sd/cache/webviewCache
ln -s /system/sd/cache/webviewCache /data/data/com.android.browser/cache/webviewCache

rm -R /data/data/com.google.android.street/cache
mkdir /system/sd/cache/streetCache
ln -s /system/sd/cache/streetCache /data/data/com.google.android.street/cache

rm -R /data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/files
mkdir /system/sd/cache/files/maps
ln -s /system/sd/cache/files/maps /data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/files

mkdir /system/sd/cache/files/myspace
busybox cp -a /data/data/com.myspace.android/files /system/sd/cache/files/myspace
rm -R /data/data/com.myspace.android/files
ln -s /system/sd/cache/files/myspace/files /data/data/com.myspace.android

run it in the terminal with the commands

su
mkdir /data/local/bin
cp /sdcard/transfer.sh /data/local/bin
chmod 0755 /data/local/bin/transfer.sh
transfer.sh

then you can make another script called delete.sh with the following

#!/bin/bash

rm -R /system/sd/webviewCache/*
rm -R /system/sd/streetCache/*
rm -R /system/sd/marketCache/*
rm -R /system/sd/cache/files/maps*
rm -R /system/sd/cache/files/myspace*

and run it with the following in terminal to clear those caches.

sh /sdcard/deleteCache.sh

You can adjust it as you need to, but currently this just contains the stock browser cache, the maps and streetview cache, market and myspace caches!

Damn!

It's about time Birdie, you had allllllllllllllll day to get er done.



OH OK!

Constell been up to some things too

[gbk1]

And how do you reverse it if you decide to not want to have such a luxury in the end? I hope reflashing the RC-XX isn't the only simple answer.

[constellanation]

Haha it was hell. but in my own defense i was at work for like 5 hours....

so uhhh dayu why don't you try this out...ehhh.....ehhh...

[constellanation]

for real, some of the comments he gets at xda are ridiculous. make me an update where the browser spins counter clockwise instead of clockwise and can every fifth letter s used scream like the word of the day on pee wee's playhouse?


and this is before he had even gotten the update to mess with!

little known fact that I did see, he does not apparently put apps on his sdcard.... that surprised me.

Me! Shoot, I still haven't moved apps over because I don't know how to split the sd card.

SMH!
