I been trying to install apps to my phone when i freshly installed apps2sd.
I keep getting "Insufficient Storage avaliable"
This is for any app I try to install
I have 1.44 gb free on my sd card and 404mb free internal storage on the phone.
What gives? I cant install any apps
nevermind, I reinstalled 2.1 and reformatted my sd card with a 700mb ext2 ( 2gb sd card) and all is well. Thanks anyway!

I seem to have trouble grasping the concept of Internal and external SD memory.
I purchased a 16GB microSD card with the hopes that I can move most of my apps to that card but when I use app2sd I always get the "Failed to move application, not enough memory" error.
When I check the free space it shows more than 13GB on both the internal memory and also on the microSD card.
Since my gtablet has 16GB of "internal" storage already, what's microSD card good for?
Shouldn't I be able to move apps to either internal or external SD storage or am I just not understanding how this all works?
Can someone explain to me in Layman's terms what I need to do?
Thanks !!
PS: I just now accidentally reformatted my internal SD card so I will have to start from scratch anyways ;-)

From what I understand, app2sd functionality is built into Froyo & beyond. No need for a separate app.
In laymans terms, your 16GB internal sd is split in 2, 2GB for apps & 14 gb for data.I have 88 apps installed & it is only using 492MB of the 2GB. Apps install to the 2GB area, but the (and the system) use the 14 GB data area for storage. You can also use this space for dat/files storage as well.
The external microsd slot is generally used by you for data storage. You can use it for what ever you like. I use mine to store copies of different roms/nvflash, movies/video/pictures & music transferred from the PC.
Just wondering somthing, when I go to App Management and look at the tab for Apps which are installed on SD memory, on the bottom is shows the Internel 16GB memory stats.
It shows I have 9GB free of 13GB. When I check under the tab for the apps installed on the phone memory, it shows I have 1GB of 1.8GB free.
When I move an app from the 1.8GB phone memory to the SD Memory (Apps2SD) the app gets moved to my 4GB MicroSD Card.
If I remove the MicroSD card from the phone, I can't move the apps, it says I don't have enough free memory. I've been reading, and appearently you can only install to the externel MicroSD.
Is there a way I could change this and make the app install too the 16GB Memory, can I change mount points, partition my 16GB internel Memory, anything?
When I was using the GalaxyMTD nightlys it would put the app on the internel 16GB memory. So I know it is possible to do, but I don't know how to do it.

Hi, I have successfully done exchange internal whit external sd card memories following the instructions from great thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108775
The only problem I've occurs is "insufficient storage available" when try to install some aps, not all, from play store or aps previously downloaded to internal-external memory. I was on the phone properly format required partitions for LINK2SD apk which works perfectly and I have a lot of free internal (now ext 341 MB used 2GB free) and external memory(now internal total space 8.95GB available 2.1GB).
For example I successfully install Nenamark2 after an unsuccessful attempting to install the Electopia from play store when showed up error "insufficient storage available".
If someone can help me I would be grateful:fingers-crossed:

Are you using LINK2SD to move you data??

This strange behavior happen to me when I swap internal and external memory. It seem to work fine when your internal memory (real phone internal) is not nearly full. If internal memory (real phone internal) is almost full I got a not enough memory even there're a lot of available space on my external SD (which is now internal mem by swap)
I think there might be some system config that not properly changed for swap script. So I use Link2SD and directoryBind instead.
I installed resurrection remix 7.1 on my Xiaomi Redmi 1s(armani). I converted my 16gb sd card into adoptable storage. The OS and the apps stored on SD card work flawlessly. Little to zero lag. Kudos to all the developers. As we cannot select storage during install. The app selects storage depending upon its manifest. But the apps like subway surfer got installed on sd card. But I want to use the internal memory as long as I can. When I try to move the app to internal storage it goes upto 30-50% then says not enough storage. I have 4gb free on my phone memory. I know that some apps like SwiftKey don't allow to be installed on sd card. But this is a different scenario. The app should allow to move to internal storage. What could be the reason for this error? I cleared the caches, still no luck.
Hi guys,
I am on the Moto G3 (osprey) and am running LineageOS 14.1-20170125 nightly. I have a 32gb microSD card formatted as internal storage as well as the internal storage of 16gb.
I have used 7gb out of 14.68gb available on the internal storage and only 2.66gb of the 28.80gb available on the microSD card. However, I am unable to move apps from my microSD card to my internal storage, despite there being plenty of available storage. Whenever I click 'change storage' and select 'internal shared storage', it starts to move and then gives a error saying 'not enough storage space'.
I'm tested this on marshmallow ROMs and it works fine there, but it hasn't worked when I've been on Nougat. I've also tried multiple Nougat ROMs already so I don't think it is a nightly bug.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to move the apps? The only workaround right now is to format the microSD card as portable, install the apps that got uninstalled so that they are on the internal storage, and then format the sd card as internal again. However, i would greatly appreciate if there was another method that doesn't involve this since it takes a while to do.
Cheers!!
