Root This is how I saved TONS of space on my phone’s internal memory

[Colostmybag247]

This is how I saved TONS of space on my phones internal memory, more specifically the /data partition.

1 - Phone is rooted, running stock rom.
2 - I used NoBloat to get rid of all the unnecessary bloatware that came on the phone.
3 - I used App 2 SD to move all available user apps to the SD Card and set the SD Card as the default installation location
4 - I used Ultimate Backup to force all the remaining user apps that were installed on the phone onto the SD Card (Warning: If you utilize a widget that is part of an app, you will have to keep that app on the internal memory)
5 - There were then several system

This is how I saved TONS of space on my phone’s internal memory, more specifically the “/data” partition.

1 - Phone is rooted, running stock rom.
2 - I used NoBloat to get rid of all the unnecessary bloatware that came on the phone.
3 - I used App 2 SD to move all available user apps to the SD Card and set the SD Card as the default installation location
4 - I used Ultimate Backup to force all the remaining “user” apps that were installed on the phone onto the SD Card (Warning: If you utilize a widget that is part of an app, you will have to keep that app on the internal memory)
5 –There were then several “system” apps (ie: Maps, YouTube, etc) left on the internal memory, I used NoBloat to remove those system apps entirely. I then went into Google Play, and downloaded them one at a time. This seems to trick the Android system and it reinstalls it as a “user” app. You can then go back into Ultimate Backup and force move them to the SD Card. (Warning: Make sure, before you delete a system app, that it is on the Google Play market to redownload, not all system apps are there)
6 – After doing this, I used Root Browser to delete everything in /data/dalvik-cache/ and pulled the battery after. Then I restarted it and allowed the dalvik cache to rebuild during boot.
7 – Then I used Root Browser to move parts of the dalvik cache to the SD Card by doing the following:
First, go into data/dalvik-cache/ and look for files that start with “mnt@asec@”, it is then followed by the app developer name and will have a .dex extension
Select one file and cut it Go to mnt/asec/, look for it’s corresponding folder in there
Open that folder and paste the .dex file
Then rename that file to “pkg.odex”
(Warning: There is a size limit for this trick, it seems that it only works on files under 2MB)

Doing all of this took me from daily “Low Disk Space” notifications to having 50+MB of free space internally all the time, which may not seem like much, but on low end phones like my Samsung Admire, every MB counts. Hope these tricks help others!

i dont know where you copied and pasted this from but you might want to edit all the signs and symbols that appeared from it. hint hint mate
good guide but very few people would probably be able to understand it

Lol. I typed this up at work yesterday and emailed it to myself, then copy and pasted it into the forum. The formatting looks fine to me though? I'm using the Phandroid app

I used DroidSail to force move apps and Link2sd to integrate all system app updates into the system. Those two things took me from the mid 40s to just under 80 mb free. I was wondering about deleting the system apps and then redownloading them, nice to know it works.

i use link to sd it allows you to convert stock apps like youtube to user apps which can be moved to sd. if sd is partitioned link2sd will also keep data and .dex filed on sd card saving more room. and it allows you to convert user apps to system apps. as well
