I have a rooted HTC Aria running CM 7. I tried downloading Google Maps, but get this error: "There is insufficient space on the device". There is only 139 MB on the phone, even after I moved several apps to the sd card, but the card has over 6 GB free, and isn't that where downloads go?

that would be a no they go to the phone first then you can move it to the sd, so how much free memory do you have on the phone?
Google Maps only takes about 11MB, so if you have more than that free, I don't know why you'd get that message.

I am having the same issue with multiple apps on the official marketplace. i however dont have any problems when downloading apps from the amazon market. i have android 2.3.4 installed via cm 7.1.o-rc1-liberty. any help would be great.
You could try downloading the APK here, transferring to SD, then install with a file explorer.

This is a memory problem related to the app download cache allocated with CM7. A good remedy and a good way to dramatically increase your phone's storage memory:
- download and use Rom Manager to create a partition on the sd card. (This erases the sd card so back it up first.)
- download and run S2S to move cache and program files to the sd card partition. This program tricks the phone to use the sd card as additional memory. It also creates a larger application download cache so you will have no problem downloading Google Maps. It only works with CM7.

What is S2S? How different is it from the DT app2sd??
S2E is what he meant. It is the same thing as DT's apps2sd, but it only works with CM7. It's much easier to use S2E than DT's.
Sent from my Aria using XDA Premium App
yeah, s2e is awesome, its running great, with no lag. I have been using it for about 3 months now with no problems. even with around 130 apps I still have the available storage of 160mb. I have moved all my apps and dalvik cache to sd. it was so easy to set up. I used rom manager and CWR to partition my sd to 512mb with swap disable, re-flash cm7 and restore my backup, done. I did try mounting my sd with ext4 but it was a little buggy so I re formatted and went back.

Hi, I just bought some apps in the 10 billion downloads promo, but I can't install any app that weights more than 20mb, it says I don't have enough memory, but I do, I have 90mb on internal memory, and more on SD card. How can I fix this? By the way, I just screwed something in my phone, so I was forced to reflash CM7.1, but the problem persists.

Hmm I just installed it, but I can't get it to work, tried A2SD gui, but it gives me an error, I also tried "a2sd check" in terminal, but I'm getting lots of "/sbin/busybox: Permission denied" errors. Tried 2 versions of A2SD, the one from CF-root thread, and newest one from darktremor site.

never encountered tht but here is how i managed to run dtapps2sd :
1) install new rom n wiping data cache etc.
2)reboot in recovery ... mount system ... install dtapps2sd.zip...
3)reboot system ..... go to terminal emulator n type a2sd install......
Yep, if I didn't, I couldn't install a2sd in the first place.
None of these instructions helped me. The problem is a combination of issues related to Samsung's devices and the Market application's design.
What did was a simple app from the Market called "MarketFix." (Requires root.) It moves your Market app cache from the device to your SD card FAT32 partition.

That still limits you to about 24 MB max on a download, even if you can miraculously end up completely clearing the cash.

For one reason or another, on the CM7 that has been released (this may change when the fix for the SDCard formatting comes out), some apps from the market display:
Error
Couldn't Install on USB storage or SD Card.
Apps Effected
Aldiko
Line Runner
Wordpress
Workaround
Go to Settings->Storage->Unmount SD Card
Once the SD Card Unmounted message is shown in you notifications, install the app
remount SD Card and Enjoy
Simple fix but I hope it helps
Also if you know of another app giving this error, please reply and I'll add it to the list so this workaround pops up in search results.
Unfortunatelly, doesn't work for apps like Evernote, which want to use sdcard partition and refuse to work without it.

I finally got around to installing the CM7 Alpha yesterday. There were several apps from the Amazon Appstore that would not install without the SD card being mounted (but then would not install because they were too large).
I took my Titanium Backup and opened the .tar.gz files in Ubuntu (there are two ... the one with the longer name) and was able to get the apks. Then I moved them to internal storage, unmounted the SD card, installed, remounted the SD card, and restored data from TiBu.

I would like to leave warning to avoid moving/linking..
Play Store, Google Play Services, System Apps and any file manager you have.
Why you may ask?
Google Play Reason:
Cuz "heaven forbid" something happens to your SD card, you would lose access to Google Play and won't be able to download apps.
System App reason:
Well if you lose an system app you won't be able to Factory Reset.
File Manager Reason:
Well if you lose your file manager you of course won't be able to browse files.
And won't be able to download another if you lost Google Play.

I don't do a lot of really fancy stuff so it seems to be working just fine but for the people who are flashing ROMs take heed.

I think the biggest you can do is 2gigs, any higher you "might" run into slower running apps/system.

I'm confused about this last image (can't link to it because I'm new here) - I've been unsuccessfully trying to partition a 32GB card for days now, literally scouring this forum and others, and I've tried so many things on it - wiping, partitioning, deleting and creating new partitions, formatting - I really think the card itself is probably ruined, and that might be my main problem. So I bought a new 16GB SD card, SanDisk, I think class 4 (clerk told me that as I was paying, don't see anything on the package indicating what class it is), and I don't want to mess this up. I paid a guy to root my phone, and using Root Browser I see a list of folders and files, one of which is mnt, then subfolder sdcard, then subfolder external_SD pathway. If that what I should be seeing to begin with?
I do understand that the SDcard folder is not my SD card - it's actually part of the internal memory.
My confusion about your image is that when I look at Link2SD storage info I see "internal 73% free", "SD Card 73% free", "ext. SD 99% free", and "SD Card 2nd part. not mounted" - below that I see system 28% free and cache 97% free. Your image shows only 3 things. I notice that my "internal" and "SD card" show exactly the same numbers.
If you folks think what I'm seeing is normal, aside from the "not mounted," (I get that, it isn't mounting and I want to try a new card), I plan to start at the top of your instructions, use MiniTool Partition (which I've been using all along), partition my new card FAT32 12GB and second partition ext 3 (because I'm running android 4.1.2 and in these instructions it says to use ext3) 4GB. I have one large app (ibird pro) that I hope to link to the SD, which is why I chose 4GB for the second partition.
Can anyone see anything wrong here so far? I guess I'm looking for someone with my phone like TheCoutures who has done this process and has it working for confirmation that I'm not off base before I even start with this file structure and/or my plans for the partitioning sizes etc.
Thanks - and btw I thought the noob video was really funny and very well done, thoroughly enjoyed watching it
In case it doesn't show up my phone is an LG Optimus L9, T-mobile, android 4.1.2.
This is on my linked2sd. You are just fine with respect to the memory sections. Read from the beginning and you should be just fine. My card is 16mb and I partitioned it right down three middle. Try to mount or partition using cwm if you are more comfortable with that.

At first I was down to about 150 MB free, but I couldn't install any applications then, so I deleted some applications and cleared some data so now I have about 560 MB free, but I still can't install one small 5 MB application! I haven't done any app2sd (I only have 2 GB free on my external SD so there would be no point anyways). I also have CWM recovery 6 by artas but I haven't installed anything with it recently. Any help? Maybe there is a way to modify build.prop to allocate more space for application data?
Any help would be really appreciated, because I can't install any application on my phone right now.

Try checking your clockworkmod/backup folder on your internal sd card. if you have one or two in there it will make a difference. Transfer those files to your SD card. Sounds like you need a new sd card as well. Get a 16gb one from Wal-Mart for like $15!

Can somebody tell me how to increase this space? I have used cache Cleaner to Move all apps to sd card that were possible to move.
Maybe sb. has some ideas.
Thanks
Andy
You can install a micro SD card and move a few apps to SD if possible. If that's not enough, root your phone, partition your sd card so it has an ext4 partition and install Link2SD from Google Play. Then, you can move any apps to your sd card.

How can i install a micro SD card???:good:
i can insert one though
I think I moved all the Apps I can and I don't think rooting will do the trick.
Under AppStorage in Settings I used up 2.73 GB / 2.90 GB
Apps 0.91 GB
Other 1.81 GB
I am stumbling over the Other category.
I recently found out that my camera actually saved to phone memory and not to my sd card. I changed it now and actually moved the files.
But why is other so high here? If Apps only take up 0.91 GB that would be fine.
Did your clear the apps caches? Maybe it helps.

Hi dansou,
I did. I do that with CleanMaster. It is usually the only way to install an update to Facebook or Chrome.
Does anybody els know, how to get rid of this ridiculously high numbe under "Other"?
Anybody else have some tips on how to ghet rid of all this dats in Other?
What is in that anyway? It's not apps, is it?

Thanks for the advice. I installed it, but I don't really now what I'm looking at, or what I should be looking for.
I'll try wiping my phone completely soon, and reinstalling everything. Right now it has errors often stating I don't have enough space.
