I'm running UKB 2.0 with the OTB 1.6 Kernel. Everything is running great, but when I went to "manage applications" under settings to clear the data out of an app I noticed that this and quite a few other random apps were showing up as 0.00b in size. All apps that are reporting like this are showing no user data or cache stored. I can confirm that the apps load and most of them should have at least a small cache or small amount of data after I set them up.
I have tried to throw everything I can at it. All apps were installed through the market. I tried moving apps to SD and back, removing them and reinstalling them through Market. I did a full wipe (data, cache, and dalvic cache), applied navenedrob's ext4 formatter, reflashed ROM, and reflashed the kernel and the issue persists.
I can pull a logcat if needed when I get home this afternoon, but if anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi,
I have rooted my phone and have moved most of the caches to the SD card. My question is: how to clear these caches on the SD card? Previously, I used to go to Settings >> Applications >> Manage Applications, and cleared the caches I wanted to. What to do now? Manual delete?
Cheers.
You should still be able to clear the caches through the Manage Applications helper. If you are using something like Move Cache for Root Users, the cache is linked to it's original on-board mount point (so it doesn't look any different to the application otherwise the application would break). So the original cache clearing methods will still work.

But whenever I try to clear the caches the "old way" via Manage apps, it appears as ZERO. It gives me the option to clear DATA, but not caches.
I used TA utility (aka Caches 2 SD) to move caches.
Any help!!!
So, I'm a bit stumped as what to do here. I have an LG Optimus V, running on Virgin's network. I have rooted my phone through IHO (using CM7.1). The guide I used to root the phone I would link but since I'm a newbie I can't...
My problem is the system cache is slowly diminishing. I've noticed this when I try to go and install an app on the market and it says I have insufficient space on the device. Well, I have around 100mb free on the phone, and around 7gb free on my SD card. So, after some research I found how the market install apps through the cache.
Every post and guide I've read to fix this issue says to wipe the market cache and data, or wipe the phone's cache and dalvik cache. I have done both. Still, I have insufficient space on the device. I got a system stat app that displays info about the cache. For system cache, it says I have around 110mb total, but only about 12mb free.
So, I recovered a backup of mine (it still had IHO running). This time it had 20mb free, even after wiping all the cache. I tried wiping the cache through Titanium Backup, with no luck.
At this point, I'm unsure how long I've had this problem. I wonder if I had it from when I first flashed IHO (which was sometime early January) and the cache has just slowly decreased over time, and it's gotten so low I'm now having issues. I didn't have this before I rooted my phone. But this is obviously a problem, because if it continuous to decrease, not only will I not be able to install hardly any apps, but I won't even be able to download updates, to my understanding.
So, after that backup failing I went on to flash my other backup, rooted but without cm7 flashed. However, before I tried recovering this backup I wiped the entire phone (data, cache, dalvik cache). Then after trying to restore I got a MD5 mismatch! error.
I've scoured the internet and can't find anything relating to my cache issue. I feel helpless! And I have no idea what to do. Any ideas?
EDIT: I don't know if this matters or not, but I forgot to mention that the recovery I'm using is called "Xionia CWMA" v1.2518.6. I'm assuming this is a modded version of ClockworkMod.
I think you are getting the system and data partitions mixed up.
When you install apps from the market, they take up space in the /data folder in your phone. I believe this folder can also be looked at as your internal memory.
The system folder is a whole other folder that the market does not touch at all. The apps in the /system folder are your system apps (pretty much all the apps that cannot be uninstalled through settings).
When the market says you have insufficient space on your device, it is saying that you need to free up some room in your /data folder, not your /system folder. One thing you can do is start moving all of your apps to the sdcard. There are two ways:
1. Go to settings>applications>manage applications. Under each app, select the option "move to sdcard."
or
2. Using titanium backup, you can do a batch operation that automatically moves your apps to the sdcard for you (menu button>batch>move user apps to the sdcard).
This should free up a lot of space if you haven't done this already.
As for your md5 error, I have no clue about that.
Hmmm. OK. Well I have most of my apps moved over to my SD card. I would barely have much space to do anything if I didn't move them to the SD; this phone has a pathetic internal space.
I'm looking at the app list and it says I have 72mb used, but 107mb free. I'm pretty sure that this is enough space to install an app at 20mb! As for my SD card, I've used 7.06gb and have 7.9gb free.
Thing is, before I rooted I didn't have the insufficient space error, and I had WAAAAY less space free. I would have around 40mb free maximum. Even when I first rooted the phone and put cm7 on it, this problem didn't appear. It started popping up maybe two weeks ago or so? And it seems to be getting worse.
EDIT: Ok, so I went and tried using Titanium Backup to move the rest of my apps to the SD card. I moved everything except my theme (LunarUI) and LauncherPro. I think I read somewhere you shouldn't move those apps. Anyways, I now have around 130mb free of internal space. And I still have the insufficient space error.
Ok, so I had the classic insufficient storage problem, so I simply backedup the data I needed, then I did a full factory reset. When it rebooted, I started to download Instagram, and it worked fine, but that was it. All the app updates and new apps cant be downloaded because I still have insufficient storage. WTF??? I nade sure that I unchecked the "restore ny data" box before I did the reset. Whats also weird is I'm still rooted and Super User is still installed. Anyone know how to get rid of all this rubbish data? All I want to do is have it go back to the state it was in when I took it out of the box.
Thanks in advance!

From where you did the wipe?
Wiped cache?
Wiped Dalvik?
Wiped data/user?
From recovery?
Factory resetting does not revert root or any ROM, it simply return the state AFTER the flash with no apps.
Completely wipe the device and install complete stock with odin.
Fix permissions should do the trick ...
Use Lucky patcher->Troubleshooting->Remove fixes and backups (insufficient storage available). That helps.
Hi
Hopefully someone can help, as I am pulling my hair out :crying:
I have installed JB ROMS four times and updated Kernal to Phil however I still keep getting the same problems with my storage, not enough space etc for every ROM installed. I have updated the Kernal and performed factory reset, full wipe, format system, wipe cache, dalvik etc through recovery. However the phone still has the same user data each time, its like its not being deleted every time I install a new ROM. At the moment I can not sync gallery due to not enough space, download off line reading for the BBC, Guardian and the Current keeps crashing and other app thay requires data downloand.
The storage does not change no matter what and I can still see the same data files from the first install.
Is there an additional step I need to perform to completing wipe the phone internal ?
TIA
Sibs

Have you tried to mount the partitions you want to wipe in CWM recovery before wiping?
Maybe that's the trick.
Just a guess.
Im on stock JB rom with philz kernel. Woke up today and got a notification saying my storage in full. The 2GB storage for apps only. I have not gone to play store to install stuff for some time alrdy and i am on this rom for 1mth alrdy. Cleared dalvik and cache partition as well. Havent try tried a format
Hi, today I encountered a severe problem.
I wanted to share a 1GB pdf file on my computer to my phone, so I put it on Dropbox. On the phone, I normally would "export to SDcard" but I saw a new option called "Make Available Offline". So I chose that and left the phone to download for about 30 mins.
Then all of a sudden, I kept getting popups "com.google.gapps" stopped responding, and suddenly all my programs kept popping up to say they've stopped responding, even programs like keyboard and titanium backup and many other programs I didn't think were even running. They were popping up at the rate of twice every second and its hard to even press "Ok". Slowly I managed to get into the Settings->Apps then noticed Dropbox has cache of 500MB and data of 200MB. I tried to clear cache, nothing happened. Tried to clear data, nothing happened. Tried the Settings->Apps->3 dots->Clear all app cache, it says 1GB cleared, but still giving me popups. I tried to uninstall Dropbox, Facebook, and other large programs, it says they're uninstalled but upon reboot they're still there. Dropbox is gone from the list, but its still in the launcher as a grey icon. Facebook everytime I press Uninstall app, the phone reboots.
Then I went into CWM recovery, chose "wipe cache" and "wipe dalvik", all it did was upon next reboot I'd have "Android isupgrading, optimising app xxx of 268".
Finally I decided to "factory reset" from CWM recovery. So I wiped data, cache and dalvik.
Upon reboot, I'm STILL back at my normal OS/launcher. Its as if /data is locked and can't be written to or something.
What do I do?
Phone is Asus Padfone A68, ROM is Android Kitkat (4.4?) standard. CWM recovery is installed, some old version that works with this phone.
I "solved" it by going into CWM/TWRP, then I repartitioned the internal storage using :
adb shell
su
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0p30
partition 1, ext2
e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p30
I lost everything on my phone. No backups, the CWM and TWRP backups were in the internal storage and they're all gone.
