This is complete rubbish! Yes, it’s a good thing that you can store your cache on your SD card but why do Android phone makers keep releasing phones with such limited memory. Did HTC seriously think that releasing a less than 70mb phone would not come back to bit e us the consumers in the ass???

What does it take to give us something around 8GB?!?! I’m tired of seeing limited memory or having to clear my browser and other apps cache at the end of the day. I hope by next year, a serious Android phone with great memory is released because memory is seriously what is bogging Android down right now. Just look at the complications for G1 to receive a simple update….smh.

I didn’t find it in the market …??
can someone post a link

tnx

For some reason this doesn’t work for me… when I try to move the cache’s it hangs on SU REQUEST and asks to force close or wait… I know my phone is rooted, but I have done a few hard resets since then. I am running jf 1.51 at the moment. Can anyone help me with this?

Hmmm, I wondered about that, but in all honesty haven’t had any issues other than those mentioned. I turned off notifications for GMail and SMS and the problem with the music player seems to have stopped. I’m thinking it may be related to where I have the notification tones stored.

Since the maps are cached on the sd card, would this allow the use of offline maps?

It should be noted that moving the caches is extremely and unpredictably unstable. It’s for this reason that I took out the ability to do so from both of my appstosd apps and was ok with taking out any ability to do so at all with my newer(unionfs) method of apps to sd. The worst part about it is that once it breaks(with Stale NFS file handles), there are a relatively small amount of ways to fix it: try to rename the directory and start over until you run out of space from all the copies of your caches, try running fsck on a linux distro and hope it fixes things, or reformat the card.

I have moved my ringtones to main memory and now the music is not paused when I get an e-mail or SMS. Thanks for inspiring this idea!

I don’t think your sound issue has anything to do with cache being moved. I’m using JF’s 1.51 with no extra mods and I get the same problem — when an e-mail or SMS comes, the sound stops whatever I am listening to for a second and then resumes. My ringtones are on SD card though and you gave me an idea — I’ll try moving it to the main memory.

Yes, you can find the console commands to move other caches not available in this app. It just automates the scripts for the most common used apps. Thankfully, you can also revert any changes made.
