moving webviewCache to sdcard doesn't work - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

okay so i tried symlink'n the new directory from the old one and every thing seemed fine, until i check the webviewCache in the /data/data/com.android.browser/cache/webviewCache and the /sdcard/webviewCache. they are duplicated cache files...did i miss something? what i did was this
rm -r /data/data/com.android.browser/cache/webviewCache
mkdir /sdcard/webviewCache
ln -s /sdcard/webviewCache /data/data/com.android.browser/cache/webviewCache
even tried
ln -s /sdcard/webviewCache webviewCache

Hey guys. Need a little troubleshoot here with moving my brower and app caches to my SD card. I used Terminal Emulator and entered the following code.....
Terminal Emulator
-----------------
$ su
# cd /data/data/com.android.browser/cache
cd: can't cd to /data/data/com.android.browser/cache
Any idea what could be causing this? I'm new to Android but I'm loving it! I'd love to cache them to my SD card, which is only a 4GB for now I'm also gonna send my apps to the SD card. How long do you think 2GB of that will last? 2GB is consumed by music and some pictures and videos.
Thanks....

Dalvik-cache in /cache

I've seen in some ROMs for other phones (like Cyanogen and Enomther's ROMs) that they implement a hack that moves the dalvik-cache into the /cache partition, thus freeing up a lot of space in /data (and virtually eliminating the need for a2sd). I'm wondering if anyone has thought of or knows how to do that? I think it'd be a great addition to any ROM.
adb shell
busybox cp -a /data/dalvik-cache /cache/delvik
reboot recovery
adb shell
mount cache
rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache
ln -s /cache/dalvik/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
should work
Dont know about after reboot though.
Me personally I just moved it all to the sd ext2.
Dalvik and system apps also.

Cool! Now to make that survive a reboot, it would have to be written into the boot.img, or in a script that is called in the boot.img correct?
That I dont know. I was wondering how to utilize all the free space I have better. Just a heads up though dalvik on my system is 60megs.

Exactly why moving it to cache would be ideal, as far as my limited knowledge of this understands. That frees up about 60mb of space in /data.

Honestly, the best use for the internal memory would be to leave the dalvik cache on it. It consists of files that have already been preprocessed by the VM specifically with the intention of improving performance. Moving that from the internal memory to the slower sd card.... It ain't gonna help....
If your trying to tweak performance, you're much better off looking for other things you can move to create more space for the cache....
Isn't /cache just a separate partition in the internal memory?

I assumed he had symlinked it over to the sd card. Generally the only benefit to be gained by moving files around is by putting things on the (slow) sd card to free up the (faster) internal memory.
If that's not what we're talking about, then the end result would be exactly nill...

Actually I have seen no performance hit as I can tell by running it internally or on sd card.

That's certainly possible. Are you using the stock sd card?
I still stand behind my assertion that the dalvik cache is the wrong thing to be moving if the goal is to improve performance. (Well, unless you somehow have an sd card that operates faster than the internal memory...)
And your statement that you see no performance hit one way or the other is kind of just another way of saying what I said... The result was nill.....

Right I get your point. But now on to the better thing. Possibly moving some music files to internal since I have seen complaints of hiccups when playing tunes. I cant think of any other benefits as of yet. Was just curious as to if it could be done so I did it. I am using a class 4 card I have a 6 but it is a tad bad so it is of no use. Now as for moving the dalvik to the /cache, that seems like it would be the better idea, since i have yet to see my cache used much at all.

I haven't really monitored the usage, although it shouldn't change much.
I'm also new to Android, but I have a good number of years under my belt both adminning Linux machines and developing Java apps (amongst other things...).
I've done a bit of reading on how the Dalvik VM works, and I can confidently tell you that you want the Dalvik cache on whatever the fastest memory in your phone is. For the vast majority of people, that will be the internal memory. If you've spent a small fortune on a super-badass sd card that is faster (like that other thread where the guy bought a class 10), then moving it would be a simple matter of symlinking that directory onto the card.
As far as your concerns with stuttering music, even the dog slow sd card that comes stock with the hero is plenty fast for playing an mp3 file. If you're having trouble there, you need to take a look at what's hogging your cpu, not what's hogging your memory....
Nah wasn't meant for me with the music on SD. I rarely use it for that. But yes I do agree with you. The SD may not be best choice but there has to be a better way to utilize some of the system memory that just sits dormant.

I believe tkirton quoted you because instead of ruunning the script you could simply use the Command: a2sd cachepart

How can I run this script on my ROM? Please guide me to make this work.

removing pre-installed apps

How can I remove some of the pre-installed apps? I don't use Peep or some others, but I can't figure out how to get rid of them.
I have an uninstaller app, I've gone to Manage Apps, I even used a file manager to find the apk file in /system/app. If I tell it to delete it says it does, but the file is still there.
How do I remove them?
If you are rooted:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
ls (This displays all apps on the phone.)
Do this to delete them.
rm NameOfApp.apk
rm NameOfApp.odex
names are case sensitive so look for any caps in the name of the app you want to remove.
I removed:
rm teeter.odex
rm Sprint_Nscar.apk
rm Sprint_Navigation.apk
rm HtcFootprintsWidget.odex
rm HtcFacebook.odex
rm IM.odex
rm HtcTwitter.apk
rm com.htc.StockWidget.odex
rm Flickr.odex
rm HtcRingtoneTrimmer.odex
rm Sprint_TV.apk
rm HtcFootprintsWidget.apk
rm Flickr.apk
rm com.htc.StockWidget.apk
rm Stock.odex
rm Facebook.apk
rm Sprint_TVWidget.apk
rm Sprint_NFL.apk
rm IM.apk
rm HtcFootprints.apk
rm teeter.apk
rm HtcFacebook.apk
rm Stock.apk
rm amazonmp3.apk
rm HtcFootprints.odex
rm com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk
rm HtcTwitter.odex
rm com.htc.TwitterWidget.odex
Thanks raz! That's exactly what I needed. I knew there had to be a way to get that stuff off of the phone. I will keep a couple of things, I do like the Sprint Football app. But ALL of the Twitter stuff is useless, and Nascar, and the stock stuff......etc.
I'd much rather have that space for something useful, like games.
This is a useful resource as well:

there's a lot of posts of what people removed and if it caused them problems or not

Bloatware removal script

This is just a removal script that removes bloatware.
You can edit the script by your own liking in the file: remove_apps/remove_script.sh
Just flash in any recovery.
But you have to be root and unlocked.
This is not my own idea but just made it custom to JB and Xperia phones.
If you edit the script just remove / add lines in the file i prefer the Note++ app... and flash.
Goodluck to all

Also usable with "Gscript" from the playstore:
First of all extract your modified .sh script to your sdcard in the folder "Gscript".
In the app go to options and use "add script" and use the file, save and you're done!
Now you can load the script
Download here:
Bloatware_removal_Script_v1.0
Could this script be made to work with gscript for example ? . Will it work if i just paste the text from your post in new script ?
I'll look into it.

ok, so i downloaded the. zip you included in your first post, extracted the. sh file,........... but after running the script i get this. What am i doing wrong? I use XperiaS
I think it just need root and busybox. Root is not required.
But I can be wrong.
i have granted root access, and busybox with smart install installed
EDIT : My bad, sorry
This is a universal script for all xperia phones. Have three Versions.

Just to point to an alternative.
Android Tuner's file manager offers to select multiple files. Hit delete and the bloat is gone in a minute. I am sure other file managers are also capable doing this.

Kali Nethunter.

Is anyone here familiar with Kali Nethunter? They released version 3.0 that now supports Marshmallow, however, Kali is installed on top of stock Marshmallow from what I understand. Can anyone elaborate on how this is possible seeing as Marshmallow on the shamu is packed tightly to the brim on the system partition? I freed up about 200 to 300 MB of space deleting system apps I don't need, but this Kali build is over 600MB! Probably uncompresses to be even bigger. Thanks for any insight ant of you can provide! Cheers!

When flashing it most likely removes enough to fit what it needs. It Could also over write stock files. I use Kali so am DL it now to have a look.

Yea it makes me wonder what it's really removing. I had about 200 - 300 MB free on my system because I removed some Google bloatware, and after the Kali install, I had like, 500 ish MB free. It deletes something big from the system. Wonder what is actually removed.

If you are ever wondering what it is doing, just unzip the file on the pc and use notepad++ to check out the scripts. Even if you dont understand everything somethings will start to make sense the more you look at it.

I've done this more or less, where should I look? The update script? I've done this a couple of time to see which Android version a ROM was when the post I found it on was not specific enough.

What I did was look to see what the update script was running and then went and looked at those scripts. It's a bit of tracking but it works

Thanks man! Appreciate it! Also, an unrelated side question. If you remove the SuperSU zip from a rom, will it still flash right and just skip SuperSU? Or does the script have to be also changed? Thanks! You may be able to answer this one, if not, that's cool!
Yeah it should. I would imagine to pull off alot of what its pc counter part does it will need root

Mostly for multirom use, some roms include systemless root and as of right now, that doesn't flash correctly with multirom. So in theory, removing the super su folder from the rom and then installing normal system root should work?

To be honest I have never messed with multirom. It has never really worked properly and most roms I run will not support it. So that I can't answer.

Alright. Well cool thanks for all your help man! Appreciate it!
can i flash kali nethunter 3 on top of aosip slim gapps hcb13 ?
i installed their 3.0 the day they announced it but the terminal doesnt work with the error "1.) no title".
other people have the same issue and they cannot seem to reproduce the issue and fix it. had to dirty flash my system image.
even though they say its stable there are many issues hovering over this mod BUT its hell of a mod if it works, makes you proud to own an android; specially a Nexus!
