Hello, today I am going to show you how to move dalvik cache (what still consume our phone memory after moving apps to sd card) to sd card, or in simple way to say I will show you how to completely move all apps to sd card. The thing we need is A2SD, and this is quite a dangerous changes to our phone as compared to what i showed you before, but i get it success since last week, and till now luckily haven't face any problem yet, so i think i get it success already. (Whew... long introduction and i can sure that you will succeed if you follow what i have done)

I have installed over 60 Apps in my phone and now it only consumes me less than 30 mb of internal memory, this photo shows that it consumes me 43 mb, but the time when i formatted my phone, it defaultly consumes me 16 mb.

Please take note: CWM 5 has to be installed into your phone, my older post already showed you how to do that.

1. Your phone have to be rooted and already flashed to cyanogenmod 7.2, for galaxy ace users, here
is how to flash it to cyanogenmod 7.2. (for users who newly flash their phone to Cyanogenmod
7.2, i recommend you to use your phone in CM 7.2 for at least one week and see whether it has
problem or not, then you may continue to next step), for the other custom rom users, u may tried this too,
but remember to backup your phone (CWM recovery>backup and restore>backup>yes) before you
make this changes to your phone, this is highly recommended to prevent any risk.

2. For other phone user, you may still do this to your phone but you have to download the package
which is suitable for your phone here (choose your phone model and press the download button),
and use the steps given here, and just follow all the steps there but replace the Cyanogenmod.zip
with what .zip file you have downloaded.

3. After that, use Titanium Backup (i have shown in older post) to backup all apps and data and
connect your phone to your pc, drag all of the files in your sd card and copy them all to your pc.

4. Power off your phone, and hold 'LOCK SCREEN BUTTON' + 'HOME BUTTON' to access your
recovery screen, don't release anything until you see the recovery screen. (Different phone has
different type of combination key to recovery screen, just google search for what is for your phone)

5. Choose 'advanced' and choose 'Partition SD card' by using your 'VOLUME UP' and 'VOLUME
DOWN' key.

6. Choose a size for your new extra memory (extended memory) from your sd card, for 8gb memory
card i recommend 1 gb of size, then choose 0 mb for the swap size. And wait for it to be
completed.

7. Choose 'mount and storage' and then 'format /sd-ext'.

8. Reboot your phone and open terminal emulator normally cyanogenmod 7.2 included this app, if
you don't have, just download it from the Google Play Store.

9. Type 'mount | grep sd-ext' into terminal emulator, and you should see this
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext3

(rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,nodelalloc,data=ordered),
if you have done the steps before properly.

10. Now download this and copy it to your sd card.

11. Reboot your device in CWM recovery and then mount your data and system by going to mounts
and storage>>mount /data and mounts and storage>>mount /system options respectively.

12. Now go back to main menu and go to install zip from sd>>choose zip from sdcard option and
select the .zip file that you have downloaded from your sd card.

13. After the script is installed reboot your device.

14. You succeed to install A2SD to your phone, and now download A2SDGUI from Google Play
Store.

15. Open A2SDGUI, if you see 'Apps are on phone memory' press this button once, if you see 'Apps

are on SD!', just don't do anything. Then install Titanium backup, and restore all of your Apps
and data to your phone.

16. In A2SDGUI, press the 'Dalvik' button on the top bar, and check the 'Dalvik Cache on SD-EXT'
then press the button 'Move and rebuild!' below.

17. Your phone will be rebooted now, and the only thing you can do is BE PATIENT, because it will
take you very long long time for the rebooting to be completed if you have over 50-60 Apps in
your phone i think 10-20 minutes will be taken. I have waited very long time.

18. After rebooting finished, you don't need to bother anymore about your phone memory, and you
don't need to rebuild dalvik cache anymore again, if you still want you may rebuild it once few
weeks.

(See, my phone memory is freed for 133 mb and i have that much apps to fill 5 pages in my Apps Drawer)

19. Thanks for watching my blog, please subscribe me, or follow my facebook page here, i need your support, thanks.

If you still want to move even more things to your sd ext, further steps are at here.

Please take note that don't enable the 'move all apps to sd card' in your Cyanogenmod setting, because you are actually fooling your phone to recognize the sd-ext as your phone internal memory.

Feel free to donate 1 or 2 dollars to me, if i did help you in getting this succeeded, thank you for your kindness.
