Hi there,
I really like this Gingerbread Sense roms, but I have a little problem. On a fresh installation, if I reboot, I get a message telling me I may loose some apps that are on memory... True, I lost some after a reboot...
I made a fresh installation with darktremour apps2sd to be able to install more apps on the sd, but when I reboot, I also loose some apps that were on my sd card, so it's not only the internal memory apps that are affect.
So I just want to know if I'm the only one whit this problem and if I can do something to resolve this.
Thanks a lot
I think you are getting confused,it says that to all of us on reboot as it states
"Restarting your phone will clear temporary files out of memory"
This isnt apps it IS cached files,different memory to internal or external memory
Thanks, I'll take a look at it tomorrow with a fresh install. I'm sure that I lost some apps last time, but it may be my mistake. If you are right, everything would be perfect for me than!

What EXT are you using? im on EXT2 with no probs
Well you were right, I reinstalled the beta4 and everything is fine. I don't know what happened last time, but I really had to reinstall some apps after a reboot. So... strange thing and I'm feeling a bit akward now
Thanks for the time you took and sorry for the question!
No worries, Glad to help!

Yeah, you missed the part of the MoDaCo ROM release notes that tells you that A2SD is installed as part of the ROM.
yeh but i dnt get that option when i boot in the recovery screen thats y i downloaded app2sd

That's 'cos it isn't an option - you have to repartition your card and then A2SD (built into MCR2.2) moves your apps when it detects the ext3 partition.
You need to partition your SD card using computer, the phone itself can only 'format' the card which is no good. As per http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/A2SD:
The SDcard will need two partitions, the first Fat / Fat32 & the second Ext2 For the Ext2 partition I wouldn't go higher than 1.5GB cuz you may run into some issues. I was staying around the 500MB / 750MB area & it was working nice. As all the guides I've read state not to exceed the 1.5GB Marker.

Although a lot of guides say to use Ext3, Ext2 works fine for me. Remember, only newly (re)installed apps will be put onto the SD card- the old ones stay on the phone's own memory.

Incorrect if using MCR2.x; preinstalled apps are also moved.
Only if moving from an earlier Modaco ROM, everyone else has to wipe first. If Fezy had not partitioned his card first then his apps would be installed to internal memory and I don't think that partitioning the card subsequently will cause those apps to be moved to it.
Hi thanks for all replies your assistant is much appreciated. As i'm new to android (coming from symbian) I was doing so much research i ended up getting confused with all the stuff i saw. But just the day before yesterday actually realised what you just said. I had decided to manually create a partition on computer and did it up to ext 3 etc but thought it didnt work because again i tried to use da apps2sd application to move the apps ( i know "what a noob") and hadn't realised that the applications had alrdy transferred (i only realsied later when i saw 93mb of free phonestorage space) so i ended up doing it all again and as u can gess i lost all my applications lolz, but i had a backup created beforehand so it worked ou .
Thanks again for the help shluggity and squiffsquiff really appreciate it guys.
p.s all the preinstalled apps got moved first time hence me losing all the apps when i tried it again.
What's the problem? I have almost all the memory i need...
under Settings> Storage
I have 8.11Gb on SD card
1.53GB on internal storage
1.68GB on additional storage: /mnt/emmc (idk what this is im guessing... applications???)
So.. everytime i try to download a app from the market, it comes up with
"error downloading ________ insufficient space on the device!"
What would i need to do to fix this?
Before someone says it, yes I did search.
more than HALF of the problems i searched was talking about not enough space on /system
I dont think thats my problem...
The other solution i found was to ODIN and check repartition, which i ALWAYS, ALWAYS do.
Would i HAVE to odin? I really don't like odin now-a-days its a pain.
so what would I need to do to fix this?
bumpppppppppppppppppppppp
Is it CM? If so reflash gapps or CM7 itself.
If you're using the new Market, then you will need to delete unused files from /cache using a shell. For some reason the new Market uses /cache to cache apps it downloads/installs. If you install a big one, there's not enough space free to cache another app.
Edit: /mnt/emmc is your external SD card.

Yes!
This started as soon as I got new market. Guess I'll go back to old one...
Went to old and everything works...
How would I be able to use new market without rights problem, I didn't have this problem before...
someone please help me, its still happening on the old market now
in cwm, wipe your cache partition. see if that helps.
also, self troubleshooting doesn't hurth wither

wiped the cache partition, still not fixed...
Self troubleshooting? I've tried EVERYTHING lol, i'm going to ODIN back right now and flash CM7 again *sigh*
I've been having the same issues with my phone. I've been having a lot of issues with my Vibrant actually, I wish I would have just kept my G2.. Anyway, did starting fresh fix your problem? Wiping the cache worked for me but this is from a fresh install as well. Hopefully this isn't just a temporary fix though.. I never had issues like this on my G2, must have had a larger cache partition.
Your like the 3rd person in which I had to tell them wwhat to do, but anyway, I used to have this problem. All you need to do is clear market cache, if that doesn't work, backup and then reformat your internal and external SD cards, that is what actually did the trick for me.
After you reformat, it should work, if I doesn't, reflash, then it should.

So far clearing cache in cwm worked fine, I think the issue had something to do with the google application auto-installer because I had that problem twice and both times it happened when I used that google app installer bs.
There is absolutely never enough room for anything on any ROM I've used on my Aria. I install everything to SD, but even with updates and whatnot, it fills to the point where I can't even receive a SMS text message because the memory is full.
I've tried every custom ROM that existed as of December 2011 but now there seems to be new ROMs, including some CM9alpha/ICS ROMs.
I just want the ability to take some pictures, install some apps (TO SD!) and not have to be constantly deleting texts just to receive more.
So my question to you all is which ROM leaves the most space available? At this point aesthetics mean absolutely nothing. I'm sorry if this has been answered before, I did a few searches and nothing turned up. I can't imagine I'm the only person who experiences this issue.

CM7 should take up the least space. What do you mean by "There is absolutely never enough room for anything"? Have you ever done a clean install?
1) Format your SD card so that you have two partitions. The first one is FAT32 and the second one is ext3 (in that order). Apps will install to the ext3 partition, so make it as big as you need. I'd suggest 1GB if you have the space, but you probably won't need that much. Remember to put CM7 and Gapps back on the FAT32 partition before the next step.
2) Install your favorite version of CM7 & Gapps using the usual process.
3) Follow these instructions exactly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21667779&postcount=5
4) Never manually move applications to the SD card from the Manage Applications menu. Once you set up everything like above, you can use the phone freely without ever changing any settings about where apps are installed.
99% of users will never run out of space if they use this setup.
This can be done with other ROMs too, but isn't as easy to set up.
Edit: Oh, and I forgot to mention. You really should only do this if you have a fast SD card (class 6 or better). Otherwise it'll probably slow your phone down a lot.

^^ Agreed.
CM7 left me with I believe 80mb or 100mb for internal storage with a clean install. Highly recommend it, as far as storage goes.

Thanks for this. I'm going to give it a try. Storage space was also my issue.
This worked perfectly. Thank you so much.
application could not be installed.free up some space and try again in samsung s3 any suggestion?

I'm not being funny mate but isn't this the most obvious thing, you clearly have too many files and you've like ran out of space, at least that's the way it looks, move some apps to external sd card or just delete..SIMPLES :laugh:
this happened to me before, apparently some apps after being uninstalled, still have some files left over, if you try to reinstall the same app, you will get the error.
check under the data folder for any remnants of the app you're trying to install, its likely that it left some behind.
hope this helps!
Thank you but the strange thing is that i have more than 5 giga empty in my internal memory!!!!!!!

m having the same problem. i have 4+ gb space empty but still a few apps are not installing. this happened after root. it there anything wrng??????????
Guys, sit back and relax. It is not important how much free space you have on internal or external SD card, but how much leftovers are still persisting in Data partition.
Easiest way to sort it out: use LuckyPatcher (please do not ask from where to take it), Start it, use troubleshooting, and choose Remove fixes and backups (insufficient storage available).

It happens when you have unused odex files in data/app
Can remove manually or use luckypatcher (on latest version it' s an automated process to check and remove unused odex at launch)
So simply run Luckypatcher and try once again
Regardless of what I do, how many apps I uninstall, how many apps I downgrade, or how many "sacrifices"(lol) I make, my phone keeps populating the internal space and giving me a Low on Space message which keeps me from installing/updating or doing anything really. Last night I had 104mb free, now I have 48mb, all I did was sleep.
I'm running a V6 Supercharger script and thats really all I can think about that would be causing these problems.
I use app2sd to move all the apps I can over.
A virus? It would be a first for me on android.
I'm using a Huawei Mercury with the leaked "factory" 4.0.1 install. I performed the upgrade about 4 months ago and haven't had problems until maybe a month ago. Maybe a hard reset, or factory data reset and a reinstallation of everything will resolve it, but i'm afraid of it happening again.
I have 1gb allocated to the rom/apps, and then 2gb internal storage that I just don't use.
I've fixed the problem a few times and it just happens again, any help would be greatly appreciated! :crying:

Is what i do about once a month is format my sd card and re-partition it,this keeps the access trash(files,apps,etc.)from cluttering everything up,you using app2sd isnt going to be enough,as soon as you run out of allocated space in your ext.it will start using your internal,hence the low space warning.Nand your existing rom,then backup everything up to your desktop,format your entire phone sd card and all,reinstall the app2sd,then restore your nand.If your still having this problem,then its either an app thats installed or the rom.

The phone has a 1GB for the rom, 2GB Internal, and a 16GB SD.
I don't understand how to keep the 1GB partition from mysteriously filling up regardless of how much I delete.
I always though the apps were suppose to go to the 2GB internal phone partition but they are right along side the ROM, that confuses me. I wish there was a way to truly delete built in apps and not just "disable" them.
Do u use 4g? I heard of problems with it saving cache stuff then not clearing it out.

a factory reset will clear up internal memory on a lot of android devices. remember to back up first if you choose to factory reset it
