Google Play Updates
When you update an application via the store, it is possible that your are losing memory needlessly. The reason for this is twofold:
1. A "temporary" file is created, as I understand it from Duncan, to allow app2sd to move the update to the sd-ext. This file is called Download.apk and can be found in /cache/download. It is generally the size of the last updated apk. For some reason, it is not deleted once the app is moved. So once you have completed updating your apps, you should delete this file.
2. A Dalvik cache entry is created for each update installed (after all, they are "new" apks). Unfortunately, the original entry is retained. This means that your Dalvik cache will eventually become bloated with unnecessary data. The easiest way to remove the original entries (and it seems to work for me) is to use Titanium Backup. Select More from the Titanium menu, then select "Clean up the Dalvik cache". Titanium will identify redundant entries and delete them thus reducing the size of the cache.
Hope you find the above useful.
