Battery Life Testing/Observations (Rooted Only)

[cereal killer]

I did this and the cmd said I couldn't cd /system/sd/dalvik-cache. Any thoughts?

No worries try this:

cd /cache/dalvik-cache

I've changed my OP to reflect people having problems cd'ing to system.

Also added reboot in TE

Cereal I tried your secondary code and it still says that it cannot cd to /cache/dalvik-cache
Do I need to mount my system before hand or something?

 

[cereal killer]

Schmoo dumb question but after you type su in Terminal Emulator do you get the # symbol?

Also are you using the Android Terminal Emulator from Jack Palevich?

make sure there is a space between cd and /

cd_space_/

There are no such things as dumb questions. And the answer is yes and yes

A little more info just in case. Right now I'm running sapphire 1.1.0 with jdlfg's 1233 kernel. Dont know if they have it stored in a different location or not.

hmmmm...well the obvious problem is that the dalvik-cache is not where you are cd'ing to. So you will need to find it.

Use your favorite File Explorer and navigate to the folder that is holding dalvik cache and delete from there or use the command to cd to it.

just the contents or the folder itself...and thanks for all the help cereal i appreciate it!!

$su
#cd /cache/dalvik-cache
#rm *
#reboot

Worked for CyanogenMod 6!

Thanks again!

For some reason I thought doing this was common knowledge, I guess not
