Try using Script Manager to run the script manually.

Imho, apps that take a lot of space. But if they'll become laggy, then the only way is to let their cache on /datadata and clear it regularly (or to use another app : Firefox Beta is great).Something I don't understand - how should I choose which apps I have their cache go to the /data partition? Apps that I frequently access? Apps that take a lot of space?
Like other users having problem it seems the datafix doesn't apply entirely. Don't know why but will check this now. You don't have lost anything. Just try runing the datafix manually (with an app like Scripter on Google Play). I'll put the script in first post soon.Er.. is my datadata folder meant to be empty after applying this patch ? Phone is definitely slower.. forgot to do a nandroid too argh.
As per the other fixes.. doubt this is reversible ?
I don't know how they manage app'datas and this little 172Mo chip. And while their roms aren't open source we couldn't ... But the Low storage notification never appear in Samsung Rom.Just a stupid question.
Why Samsung Roms dont need it ?
How works the solution of Samsung?
Future plan : make some support as it seems users have problem with this.Very good script. Whats your future plans for this?
It would be really good if this was made into an app that let u select the apps cache you want on /data or /datadata rather than having to edit a text document.
Something went wrong for me too
I wasn't previously using datafix,flashed it and checked my /datadata a very little time after reboot that was 128Mb free.Seemed a lot of free space comparing to the only-libs 2903 version.For the same initial configuration/apps installed i usually get about 88Mb of free space after flashing 2903.
Just a little while later i noticed a datadata folder in /datadata and free space was now 66Mb...I reboot and /datadata ended full.
Note:Users of Devil or MnIcs get after each boot a user.log (+ a .bak of the previous boot) that describe among others things init.d process,it could help to paste it here
Seems to not work correctly. The /data/data.new is a temporary directory created to reverse and clean previous datafix. It should be deleted once the script apply.Seems to work for me... but can someone tell me what the following folders are for and if I need them or if they're remnants of some past datafix?
/data/data.new
/data/data2
Thanks.
Never try a Starbuck coffee ... and I won'tMy vote is that you SHOULD put up a donation button, I am happy to contribute to your coffee fund (so long as you don't drink Starbuck's ;-) But since you're French, you surely have better taste than that!)
1. The script doesn't apply correctly at first launch.After upgrade to ver.0521 from 0329, I have the following problems:
1. There is a data.new folder, I wonder if it can be removed.
2. new installed apps haven't been moved to datadata
3. removed apps haven't been removed from datadata
I'm on cm9 0520 with devil 0.56 kernel, busybox updated to 1.20.
By the way, the scripts run well under scripts manager.
Unfortunately, you have to edit the "skip_apps.txt" before runing the datafix. If the apps have been moved to /datadata the current script couldn't get it back on /data/data. Will improve this later.And one more. I wanted to move com.android.email to data/data completely and edited skip_apps.txt. But when I check datadata folder with Disk Usage app - com.android.email still remains there.
What have I done wrong?

Think I've got it !
Are those having problem had a previous datafix applied ? If so the problem may be solved quickly.

Why don't Samsung use it? They are not using /datadata, they are using the slower implementation of putting it in the larger /data partition (I think, correct me if I'm wrong).
Because not everyone's phone (only some people have this problem) can correctly handle this /datadata "hack", which makes the phone faster, Samsung has opted not to use it, but thereby they are also making the phone slower (well, not the phone itself, obviously, just the OS ).
Anyhow, so what eventually happens is that a .txt file is written onto the SD Card?
EDIT: And can it also be used on GB? I don't think Froyo will be relevant to this .
It can be used on CM7/Miui gb rom, but not on a Samsung based rom.

This one or the 2903 one ? I can't reproduce this. Could you ask me on which rom/kernel you are please ?in my case I hadn't applied any datafix in my phone before yours.
So /data/data.new is a temporary folder (should be removed after script is applied). The /data/data2 folder is used by CM based rom to store some apps cache. Yes like my own script do ... But this is made by a script in /sbin included in intramfs depending on kernel. So it's not possible for me to edit this /sbin file.Yes, I had the previous datafix applied. I have the data/data.new folder left over, and also what is data/data2 ?
I am running on a Captivate with Slim 3.6, stock kernel, with KagadarLinkFixer applied, because even though krarvind says busybox is properly linked, on my phone, it was not.
However, even though I have the leftover data/data2 folder, it otherwise seems to work. The only errors I get when I run the script with SManager is:
ls: *: No such file or directory
ls: *: No such file or directory
I never said that they don't use it (I hope they use the hardware they put in their phone) but that I don't know how they use it.Why don't Samsung use it? They are not using /datadata, they are using the slower implementation of putting it in the larger /data partition (I think, correct me if I'm wrong).
App's datas are managed differently between Samsung and CM roms so this script is not designed to be used with Samsung roms (and it is irrelevant cause on Samsung roms there no "Low storage" problem).Because not everyone's phone (only some people have this problem) can correctly handle this /datadata "hack", which makes the phone faster, Samsung has opted not to use it, but thereby they are also making the phone slower (well, not the phone itself, obviously, just the OS ).

My datafix doesn't need a properly linked busybox as each command calls busybox directly (hope I do this right).
The "ls" error appears only 2 times or more ?

PS : I definitly have to try this Slim rom ... Could you post the content of your /system/etc/init.d folder here please ?
Hey,
Currently m using this datadata fix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21374517
can I directly apply this fix over it or do I need to follow some other steps like wiping data or formatting something?
thnx in advance
And wait for 15 minutes as I may have found something about this problem ... But it concerns only people with previous datafix applied.Read the OP .Hey,

Ok, it seems there is a directory problem somewhere (maybe the lost+found).
Hi Wendigogo, what would happen if my /datadata partition gets filled again...? I've got 86mb used/90mb free now on /datadata.

That's a good news but if I understand correctly, it "only" flush the apps'cache if space left on /datadata is under 10%.Took me time to realise, was seeing my datadata about 15mb left then thought "hmm, don't forget your datafix" but kept forgetting and finally see that every time chrome gav me that cache reading error datadata got more space left.
Kept wondering about this and finally saw someone saying Pawitp talked about this.
I didn't found Pawitp's words or changelog stating it but that's it.
It's about a week that i flash cm9 based rom with no wipe and still i have approximately between 15 to 25mb left even opening new apps.
There is developpement of the test version (as I've got a lot of personnal work not really fast :angel: ). And there's (at least) 2 bugs in test version : first if installing with previous datafix and second if space separated directories exists ...Will there be any further development to the datafix script in the future? If not I recommend updating the original post with the latest test version.
I don't think the script needs any more work doing to it myself. Only thing I can think of is a user interface to make moving cache & apps to /data/data easier.
I suppose you have to run it as root ...The execution window opens and states that permission is denied
Do I have to set something else before running this script through Script Manager?
This is a problem I see before. You need to add "com.android.providers.downloads" and "com.google.android.gm" in "move_cache.txt" as said before. The first app is for market cache (so if /datadata is full you can't install/upgrade anymore apps) and the second is for Gmail cache.now i cannot download from play store,first i had the low storage notification,i flashed the datafix..it was good after the flash,no lag n no problem...but from today i cannot download from play store,i checked datadata by root explorer,there were just 166KB of space left..then i flashed the datafix again,now i have 9MB of space left but still cannot download from play store...any clue what to do?
This could be "forced" by an external rooted app I think D @Zatta )For whatever reason I can't clear any app's cache anymore, besides going in and manually deleting files. Apps don't work, doing it via Android's Manage Apps doesn't work—hell, not even Titanium Backup works.
This is annoying.
Thanks for point this. I could use another directory in /data/local. The best way is to use a directory in /sdcard to prevent factory reset removing config files and to permit users editing it kindly.Hey Wendigogo, do you follow the discussion here (plus read some posts back)?
An uhh, you are okay, aren't you? Sent you a small update per mail, looks like you didn't get it again?
