Hi
I was trying to install Plants vs Zombies (Amazon App Store Release) and i am getting an "out of space" error. Plants vs Zombies could not be viewed. Free up some space on your device and try again.
The .apk has +/- 73mb and I have more than 250mb of free internal memory on my X10 (2.1 Bitsnacker), and 100mb++ of free RAM.
Any ideas?
No one else with this problem? I've tried to turn on Wifi, etc. but nothing happens...

I had that 2 .. move the file from card /Android /data /com.amazon.venezia/cache /and the apk is about 73mb. Move to system/app / and set permissions. Rw -r -r

Still nothing, done that with Root Explorer. Can you upload to me your apk to test it?
Regards
It seems to be working. As soon as I pasted it on /system/app and rebooted the phone the game appeared on App drawer but its not occupying no space on internal memory. Is it normal?
I ended up having to copy the .apk to my computer and install using ADB instead...
Worked fine after that (though the current version of the game seems to be a bit buggy)

TI Backup is showing I have 456 apps installed which includes everything that came with the phone. I hear there is no limit (my old windows 6.5 phone was limited to 50 apps...after that all of the apps disappeared from the deinstall menu and you had to manually delete something to see them all again). Everything is installed to the internal card, nothing installed on the external SD card. I still have almost 9 gigs of free space so it is conceivable that 1500 apps is possible, though the phone may start to slow down at some point. With TI backup eating space along with the phone's built in android backup turned on I don't know how much of the free space will be eaten up.
So anyone over the 450 number?
There is a smaller area of the SD card put aside for apps..

I was on 448 but just downloaded another 3 to break 450. TiBu reporting 451 now. LOL

I don't see why you can't have as many apps as will fit on the internal storage...

Is there a way to increase the size?

space for apps
If there is a finite amout of space available for apps then there is definitely an upper limit to how many apps can be installed. i may be close to the limit since i tried installing a large app from amazon and received a message saying there was insufficient space. After I deinstalled Angry Birds Rio the nessage went away and the app installed. So to increase the amount of available space for apps you either have to increase the amount of allocated space for apps (whereever that directory is), delete other optional files like pics and music, or perhaps reformat.....I remember seeing soem sort of reformat option somewhere...maybe this post belongs in the dev forum since they are savvy with the system.

Sounds like you need Apps2sd.
Yes. I just got apps to SD. I didn't know any apps were on the SD card, I am still curious exactly.how much space is available on the phone. I'll have to copy over the apps to my 2nd SD card.

I have looked around the forums and other forums to fix this problem but nothing is working. I bought 9mm, Asphalt 6, Fast Five, Nova 2, Modern Combat 3 and got a cracked version of Shadow Gun.
I managed to download the data for Fast Five and Nova 2 but the data for the other games can't be downloaded because of the error. I have cleared out my SD Card, changed the SD card, Used Titanium BackUp (still got the same problem and force close) and downloaded the games data on my PC, cleared the games data/cache on 'Manage Applications'. I have done all these things and I still can't download the data.
I have a rooted Xperia Arc S (LT15i) which I bought just to play these games and now I can't even download the data.
Can someone please help me?
Maybe your phones internal memory is full because of the Data of the games you downloaded!
SD Card's space doesn't matter when your downloading data of a game.
If the internal memory is full, you can move the data to your SD Card by using This App.
OR
You can swap your SD Card Memory With You Internal Memory.
You can search the forum for this!

Isn't there anything else I can do, I have 149MB internal memory and I'm afraid of damaging my phone with the Internal and SD swap
Download GL To SD app from market ( requires rooted device )!

I managed to install Asphalt 6 after a few errors, and I somehow installed Shadowgun flawlessly but MC3 and 9mm are still refusing to download and PlusAndroid that app is not compatible with my Arc S

Sorry, no other method that I'm aware of!
Ok so I have 74mb of space left. And I'm trying to download a 9.xx mb app from the play store. However it says I can't because I have insufficient space available. I don't understand how I don't have enough space st 74 MB to download a 9 mb app. I've cleared cache and everything too. Can anyone give me an answer as to why this is? Fyi the app is the game minibash, if that makes a difference
Menu/ Settings/ applications/ manage applications / All (apps) / Google Play Store / Clear cache
try it
Wheres it trying to install SD card or internal memory? 9mb is the compressed file size, once installed it will be larger.
Maybe android is reserving a certain amount of working space for caches and stuff like that. Can you push some apps to sd to free up some space?

Transfer apps from SD to Phone, or from Phone to SD
Every app that is movable has been moved
any apps on which I can clear the data to free up space, like amazon appstore and play store, etc have been cleared, and I clear the cache like 5 times a day. I don't know what else to do.

It tells me on the play store that the size is 9.02 mb. From the play store page of that app I don't know how to tell if it installs onto the sd card or the phone. Is there a wqy to tell?
How many apps have you downloaded? Free up some space by deleting an app or two that you don't use much. Then download this set it to external and move apps at will to the sd card. You should then have plenty of space.
Ok if you're in this forum you should have the evo 3d too, but if you did you'd know that the app you told me to download is not compatible with the 3vo, so I can't use that to help me since I can't download it.

An update then must have made it incompatible if it used to be... Thats how an app is on my phone right now, it has an update but when I go to update it it says its not compatible with my phone so I can't update it. OH well. That'd be a really awesome app cuz i have some apps that are like 10+ mb that are not sd compatible so if I could force them to go there that'd be awesome. But it's not compatible. shoot

You might give that a shot, I have no idea how well it works.

I bought Galaxy SIII just 5 days ago and installed Omega v11 rom with SiyahKernel v1.4.I started installing apps to test my quad-core phone(Gangstar Rio,Asphalt 7,Modern Combat 3,Mass Effect Inflitrator etc..) ,when i noticed all the appdata were installed at the internal sd(mainly Android/data and Android/obb).I want to have that huge amount of data on my external and not interal sd.If move an app's data to external after it has downloaded them already,the app downloads them again.
If you do a search in the forum, it has been stated that you cannot run apps from your external sd card, with other android phones all you need is a app called app2sd, there are many for free in the play store.
I use gl to sd from the play store. Once moved you then news to open up the games from within the app or once in the app, select mount and hit the home button. Then open apps as normal. Its mainly for gameloft games (gl) but in settings there are also options to move data from the android / data folder as well as select your own custom folders.
There are a few others out there but this was my favourite.

It only works with games or apps that has the option to store additional data to ext. sd.
I think I heard about this in another thread.
Directory Bind. It will not move APKs themselves, but it will move the large data directories for games etc. that you're on about to the external card and correctly set up a bind mount so that it looks like the folder can be found on the internal card. If you use it, save yourself some time and enable the alternative database (something like that) option in its settings.
If you have root and partitioned sd card you have to instal link2sd. This will move the application to the second partition of the sd and creates a link to it. This will help the phone to recognize it as it would be installed on phone but really it would be on sd.
Like a shortcut in windows.

It doesn't move the app to the external card, only the data which is what the OP is asking. The apps themselves are tiny compared to the data, eg 9mm which has data of 2gb. Worked perfect on my S2 and now S3. Moved close to 20gb of data to the external card.
Directory Bind is also good but it would remove settings for me after a reboot. Maybe I was doing something wrong.

you probably misunderstood me, when I say games and apps, i mean as a whole, whether its a game or application download from play store, and not as a individual.
This is also the case with app2sd, the actual program is still in the phone, while the data is in the ext.sd.
thank u for your answers!i will check both glstosd and directorybind and report back...just to clarify,i want to move the applications data,like android/data,android/obb,gameloft to external,not the application itself
Hello, I have a rooted gs4 64 gb sd card, foldermount, apps2sd, and esfile explorer. I have recently ran almost entirely out of space on internal storage. I have 300 mbs remaining hence my purchasing the 64 gb sd card. I used foldermount to try to move the app and data of The Walking Dead by Telltale games for example. This app is over 2 gbs but when I use foldermount it only moves 1 gb and my phone only moves the size of the app only which is around 20 mbs. I have multiple games with the same situation and can't even move that much of the app space. Having anotther 1.4 gig stuck in my phone I can't find or move is really limiting my phone and I can't do much with it. I finally found the 8 gb of game data and other game files using es file explorer and searching my root files. The 8 gbs are the three games telltale has out right now on android. The games are phenomenal and I dont want to give them up. So what im asking is can anyone tell me how I can move all of a games data, downloaded content, etc from internal phone storage to external micro sd. I didn't try moving with es file explorer because I couldn't find info on if it was safe. Everytime I search how to move all of a games data to external Sd I just find foldermount and other apps similar. Not sure if it just hasn't been asked or realized yet or what's going on but half of the space a game takes up on my phone, in my mind, is not all of the games data. Which has been advertised by the many, many apps Ive tried. Foldermount is a great app and I've purchased it to support the developer I just want more ability to move if possible. Thanks a ton for everyones time and effort, Xda is the best and I've recommended it to all of my friends.

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by
Good luck
This isnt a Galaxy specific Problem, it's the method of moving the apps thats the problem not my phone
