Default [Q] How to enable dalvik cache on External SD?

Hello everyone,

I have a 16 GB rooted T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S III, I am currently running CM 10 Nightlies ROM. I love my phone, it is working fine, but I would like to know if there is a way that I can somehow enable the dalvik cache to save automatically on my external SD which is 32 GB or at least to automatically save the pictures and videos in there. I remember I used to do this on my HTC Wildfire S with an app called S2E but I tried downloading it for my SG3 and Its not available for it.

I am sure there has to be a way out there to do this, although I've been looking all over the place and I still cant't find a way to do this. I just really want to make the best out of my phone's internal memory and take advantage of my 32 GB SD card that is just sitting there in my phone doing nothing.

If anybody has an idea or knows I will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Wiping dalvik cache shouldnt even touch your SD card. So your videos and photos should be fine. If you really want to be safe, just save a copy of your photos and videos on your computer or laptop, or even on another SD card. Or you can just upload them on to drop box or Google drive.

what I am looking for is if I can move the dalvik cache and photos and videos to save automatically on my external memory so I have way more space on my internal memory, since I have lots of apps .
