Move All yourCaches to SD card at once.

---

I wrote a small script with help of stericson that will move all your caches to sd card. Right now, it will move caches for following apps;
1)Market
2)browser
3)street view
4)imeem music
5)tune wiki player

all these tutorials used from www.modmygphone.com, i just used all and wrote a script to make my job easier.

This script will make a folder called cache in your sd card, and 5 sub folder, for each apps.

Instructions:
copy the file to your sd card in home directory. make sure you have root.
go to terminal, and type in following commands
#mkdir /data/local/bin
#cp /sdcard/transfer.sh /data/local/bin
#chmod 0755 /data/local/bin/transfer.sh
#transfer.sh

it'll execute itself, if you get any error messages saying "bla bla bla" dir doesnt exist, that is because either you don't have that app installed or you have never used that app before and it doesnt have any cache to transfer.

Leave comments or suggestions. i will make maps work this weekend. i dnt have time right now.

Hey Birba, copy and paste the below into notepad, save as transfer.sh

chmod 0777 /data/local/bin/transfer.sh

mkdir /sdcard/cache

rm -R /data/data/com.android.vending/cache
mkdir /sdcard/cache/marketCache
ln -s /sdcard/cache/marketCache /data/data/com.android.vending/cache

rm -R /data/data/com.android.browser/cache/webviewCache
mkdir /sdcard/cache/webviewCache
ln -s /sdcard/cache/webviewCache /data/data/com.android.browser/cache/webviewCache


rm -R /data/data/com.google.android.street/cache
mkdir /sdcard/cache/streetCache
ln -s /sdcard/cache/streetCache /data/data/com.google.android.street/cache


rm -R /data/data/com.imeem.gynoid/cache
mkdir /sdcard/cache/imeemCache
ln -s /sdcard/cache/imeemCache /data/data/com.imeem.gynoid/cache


rm -R /data/data/com.tunewiki.lyricplayer.android/cache/webviewCache
mkdir /sdcard/cache/tunewikiCache
ln -s /sdcard/cache/tunewikiCache /data/data/com.tunewiki.lyricplayer.android/cache/webviewCache


Oh and thank you for this necro, much appreciated for those of us who get hand cramps typing out all these commands on the G1 keyboard

Doesn't it seem like it would be a good idea to copy the cache over before you delete it

I'm a bit of linux noob.. but perhaps instead of deleting you could change it to mv and then you would not need to make the directory on the SD card either

so


rm -R /data/data/com.android.vending/cache
mkdir /sdcard/cache/marketCache
ln -s /sdcard/cache/marketCache /data/data/com.android.vending/cache

would become

mv /data/data/com.android.vending/cache /sdcard/cache/marketCache
ln -s /sdcard/cache/marketCache /data/data/com.android.vending/cache

Sd card myheim!!!

OK please help i have searched all over. I have 2 Questions & Requests:

1. How do I install a script file? I know it automaticlly changes the Registry of the android OS or the Internal/FileSystem whateva its called but how to i install it??? Please help & Be detailed.



2. This is the big one. If a script file does automaticlly change the Internal file system (Android Registry) without using the Abd Shell. Can u please make the upload the script files to "INSTALL & RUN APPS FROM THE SD CARD" its been very difficult using the "adb shell" on my desktop.

Ive tried everything. I even tried to use the "ASTRO" file browser to modify the correct files but evenwith root it wont allow you to modify or switch files.

PLease Help. My SD Card is already perfectly partioned and ready to go.

Thanks, that was an excellent post.

For steel, you can probably add this in the script file:

rm -r /data/data/com.kolbysoft.steel/cache/webviewCache
mkdir /sdcard/cache/steelCache
ln -s /sdcard/cache/steelCache /data/data/com.kolbysoft.steel/cache/webviewCache
