I purchased World of Goo, but whenever I try to download it from three Play store I get an insufficient memory error.
I'm running CM 7.2 and my datadata partition is only 56 mb, so I should have plenty of room.
You probably have a bunch of cache built up somewhere. Maybe go into Browser or Market or YouTube or even the XDA app or something like that and delete some of the cache (not data). I use Cache Cleaner NG and have it set to clean every morning at 5 am. I am betting that probably will cure what ails you.
Hey wood, I just stared using that since your recommendation and it removed 168mb from internal SD so.. thanks hah anyways, when the apo auto started at the set tike, what happens? Does the phone light up and start cleaning stuff or is it all done without user knowing and at the end tells you the info on notification bar because I would not want to be woken up from a sleep because my phone is lit up.

When I am on ICS I use the normal method. When on 2.3 or lower I use the Old Cleaning method and tick the SDcard and it will clean any cache on your SDcard too. Like from sdcard/android/data/your app or sdcard/data/your app.
If my screen is locked or black it doesn't light up at all. That is why I got it set to clean before I get up in the morning so I can start my day clean as a whistle.
Rider if you are still on Zen then make sure you do not use Old Cleaning method or it will hang for a long time. Something about it looking for external_SD and not emmc.

Hello all I have a rooted Aria with FR008.
Had it running smoothly for about a week until the last couple days.
Had a little over 100MB of space left on the phone, then legit 45 mins later( the phone standing idle) I randomly got the "Low On Space" message at the same time Android system usage went up to 80% + for about an hour or so and drained the battery to below 10% then the system usage went down to about 20%.
Any ideas on what causes this? It happened two days ago and I just started from scratch, and then it happened again today...getting kind of frustrating wiping the phone every other day.
I've used all the cache cleaners, task killers, and moved everything to the SD than can be.
I just find it strange that I saw that the phone had 133 MB left of space...legit hit the power button, then turned it on 45 mins later to find that warning...and having less then 8MB left on the phone.
Are there any programs that update automatically that dont go to the SD card?
Any help is appreciated...thank you!
Which programs do you have installed and do they run in the background?
Gmail, Dropbox, ebay, twitter, facebook, barcode, astro, apps2sd, wifi analyzer...plus the task killers and cache cleaners....
Had them installed for a few days running fine, and then like I said, in a matter of 45 mins, before I knew it, the go from 100+ MB to 9 MB internal storage.
This happened today, and the only program new I installed today was the Wifi Analyzer
Thanks.

Which task killer are you using? Is the cache cleaner something that runs automatically, too? What purpose does the Wifi Analyzer do and does it do any logging?
Using the Advanced Task Killer...I tried setting the cache cleaner both to manual and auto clean...no difference. The Wifi Analyzer doesnt do any logging, just detects the wifi signal stregnth. Either way this is the second time its happened, and the first time I didnt have the wifi analyzer.
Thanks.

Is this your first Android phone? Why are you running Advanced Task Killer? What was your reasoning for deciding you needed to run it? With the FR008 ROM and Froyo 2.2 using a task killer actually has a negative impact on the Aria. Android does a great job at managing the memory just fine. So try removing Advanced Task Killer and the cache cleaner and see if that solves your issue.
Ive uninstalled both of what you asked, restarted the phone a couple times and still have the message on the notification bar at the top
"Low on space"
"Phone storage space is getting low"

What else did you do to clean up the phone storage space? How much storage was available when you started?
Try going into clockwork and clearing cache. Also clear cache on market and browser.
Thanks for all the suggestions...I just ended up starting fresh again...tried all your suggestions and still had the low storage space warning...I'll just have to take it day by day and hope it doesnt happen for the third time!
I had the same problem until I enabled a2sd. You might want to check if it is enabled; it was not on my FR008 - i think you have to do it after the fact.
You can change the text message limit to automatically delete a thread after a certain amount is reached. You can also use Titanium Backup to uninstall stock apps that you don't use, or even freeze apps that you don't want running all the time.

when you are starting fresh all of these times, are you doing a complete wipe?
i ran into an issue with low phone storage while running cm6 from all of my back and forth flashings. when i decided to start using cm7 nightlies, i wiped data/cache, formatted system partition, and upon installing the rom had plenty of space and haven't had any issues.
i'd try a complete and utter wipe of all your phones data/cache.
Little late, but its better to have this info here for others, found the issue...It was the Twitter application. It was syncing the contacts and with my 10K plus followers, it was chewing up my space
I loaded CM 7.1 stable on my Fascinate a couple months ago and sometime there after I started getting Force Closes all over the place.
Rebooting my phone only seemed to temporarily alleviate the issue for an hour or so, but shortly after it would start occurring again. It wasnt until I opened Touchdown that I found the potential cause as it reported I was "Low on space". I found this pretty odd seeing as I had several GBs free on both internal and SD storage.
After searching around a bit I believe it's my cache thats filling up. I ran Clear Cache in CWM it cleared up the issue for several days but eventually it starts occurring again.
First question: is clearing the Cache via CWM on regular intervals going to hurt anything?
Second (and more important) question: Is there any way to fix this without going with a different ROM?
Thanks a bunch in advance!!
I got it too!
I'm having the same issue, or I believe I am. You get a notification saying your low on space, and you can't receive any txtmsg's? Once you clear up the space the msg's come through fine.
I was using the stable for a long time.. and didn't get the error, and then I flashed the latest nightly and that's when I got the error.
I don't think the nightly is what caused the error, I actually believe it's pure coincidence. I've managed to keep in under control and can fix it when it happens.
I clear my cache as well, but I found out that the /data/data also needs some cleaning to get rid of the error. When I free some space in the /data/data I don't even need to touch my /cache at all.
I will post any other findings... info.. etc.. that I find.

your datadata folder is full most likely. You can try uninstalling some apps, or try running ng cache cleaner from market, or read this thread and try this tweak JT posted!
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/5635-problems-with-datadata-causing-force-closes-for-google-apps/
A novice question Im sure, but whats the best/easiest way to see how much free space is available on these partitions?
use the disk usage app from market.
OK I came across this problem last month & tried to find a solution. I discovered many posts to the same problem however I was only able to fix it by doing a factory reset. The problem has come up again & I'd rather not reset it again. It only comes up after numerous picture uploads to Facebook. Until I do that my phone runs fine. I'm running Open Kang if that makes a difference. Given this information does anyone have a suggestion as to how to fix it? It was suggested that I flash a new ROM as maybe the one I have is too big? Starting to get extremely frustrated with a phone I've only had since April & really know nothing about

This is (as others suggested) a problem with the ROM you have installed. There really is no way of getting around a wipe, but you can download an app called "Titainum Backup" and backup your apps from there. Once you get into your new ROM, simply download Titainium Backup again and restore your apps.
As far as fixing the problem goes, I would reccomend using ODIN to flash back to stock, then flash CM9. (However, I am sure that flashing from your current rom directly to CM9 would work just as well)
The real reason this is occurring is the mounting of the /datadata simlink to the /data/data partition, this is actually in the kernel and sets it when flashing, not the rom. That partition stores the data for applications, and continues to grow as apps run. Often times when you sync alot of emails it will also fill the partition when its mounted as /datadata, so that makes sense with your pic uploads to facebook, now I'll tell you why.
Early on in ICS builds, we had two schools of thought. If you mount with the /data/data partition, you have essentially 2GB of space for that app data, however, this comes at the cost of decreased performance and much slower application response times. If its mounted with /data/data symlinked to /datadata, it clips that partition at about 180MB, a lot smaller, but the increase in performance is phenomenal.
So it was damned if you do (slow response times) or damned if you don't (less space) for those of us in the rom game. I think most (myself and DD included) made a conscious decision after lots of testing, to use /datadata with less space, for faster performance.
You may be easily able to resolve it by performing some simple app maintenance. On apps like email and gmail, set your sync interval down to a few days, uninstall unnecessary applications, and with facebook, I don't use it myself, but try clearing its cache if there is a setting for that, or go into apps in settings, and clear the data for the application. You may have to sign in again, but it should not effect your uploaded content, merely clear the local cache on the phone freeing up that /datadata space.
Hope this sheds some light on the issue for you, and how you can avoid it or remedy it going down the road.

Guys, seriously, its been a long time since my phone started to show red smal icon of a chip in upper left corner, telling the internal memory of my phone is finishing, I m done with deleting unnecessary apps. What can i do ? I tried to clean cashe, delete downloaded files from apps..
Get a phone with more internal memory
Just kidding
If its rooted and you have an SD card you can potentially run apps off an ext partition, unroofed phones will allow some apps to be moved to fat partition but this slows things down
Maybe add in what kind of phone and some more details for further help

Depending on your phone, the ROM it runs also takes a good majority of the ram, installing apps like a mad man makes it even worse.

I have noticed an issue with the latest CM7 for this phone where occasionally apps just open to a black screen. Sometimes you can get it to work by clearing data/cache and stopping the service, sometimes not. What usually ALWAYS works is to move it either to Phone or SD storage depending on where it is. This will fix it for awhile. I've seen Pandora do this mostly, but Dolphin also does it. Handcent does it from time to time. I have the CM7 BSR installed, I've also tried V6 Supercharger and it hasnt helped with this issue. I was wondering if perhaps my internal storage doesnt have a bad sector? I know on my old Eris I had to rescan the internal memory to flag blocks, it reduced the space a tiny tiny bit but fixed some wierd issues that phone had.
Any help is appreciated.
