Anyone having problems installing apps from market? I am getting an Insufficient storage error on ym Archos 80 g9 250gb and I still have a little over 200mb free out of the 1.5gb. It's only a 10mb app I am trying to install. Any advice? Thanks.
Same problem here. Reformated and now i have to root all over again. I dont know if i have to delete android kernel. Maybe that was taking up the space. How did you make out anyway?
I experienced this issue on an other device some time ago. On my HTC HD2 I was not able to install any more Apps when storage was at 35MB or below.
I assume that the Archos reserves about 200MB. Maybe for App Data or caches or such things.
I don't know if I'm right it's just what I'm guessing.

I agree
I do believe that is the case. My only option is to delete some files on the sd card because I'm 100% sure it's not all apk files and dalvik-cache. But I need some kind of program to show me which files is on internal storage and which files are on the HDD. I can't format because I have exams in two weeks so I have to use it to study. Any suggestions?
On the HDD model
the size of the system memory is 1.5 go

Yes but I'm saying that I have 200mb free out of the 1.5Gb in system memory. Is there any app to show me what files I have in my system memory?

Hey!
I had some apps moved to the internal storage using the stock app2sd feature of Froyo... only to discover that some of them got lost after one or more reboots.
Data is still there but the apps are not installed anymore. Only way to recover them is to reinstall them from the market.
Anybody else facing this issue?
Cheers,
Kashban
for move the apk on internal memory
see applications
not all applications will be moved

Not sure it is the firmware problem or froyo problem.

I don't have these problems on A70, running 2.0.54.
But I don't have a ton of apps
Also, I've managed to fix WiFi problem on encrypted network.
Switch to AES (from TKIP), WPA2-PSK, channel 1, fixed IP (before was assigned via DHCP).
am I doing something wrong cause when I seem to use app2sd to move to internal storage it moves to the 8GB storage and not the 32 GB microSD card I have installed. what am I doing wrong?
I also had the problem with apps having issues, but I uninstalled app2sd and reinstalled and it seemed to fix the issue (the manual update cratered)
You are doing nothing wrong.
App2SD as Archos hasimplemented it uses the internal SD.
You can't change this.

so then the microsd card is just for my music and movie files?
can I even save ebooks(kindle, nook,google, aldilko) to the card or is that also just limited to the internal storage?
That up to that Software, not up to Archos or Android.

You cannot save to your SDCard. These apps work with "sdcard" which is the name for internal memory. The actual sdcard is sdcard\sdcard
What I do is keep all the epubs on the internal memory and all the pdf books on my 32GB sdcard. That works for me.
You seem to be working with / for Archos, may I ask you a few questions:
1) Will the next firmware offer the option to hide the soft buttons menu bar?
2) Is it possible to 'resize' the system (app) storage? Archos has 256MB RAM and 299MB of app storage. The Galaxy S, i saw, has 1.7GB app storage. Surely it does not have 1.7GB RAM.
Thanks
I have 'churi rootet' Archos 101 and noticed huge amount of upgrades to apps in Market -> just pressed Upgrade All
System hanged and statusline has error saying 'System Full'
Have now tried to find what or how to free some space using Root Explorer, but no luck.
Please help and what should i do?
Is there any other options todo than full reformat or something???
Yes, understanding how Android works is most of the time helpfull.
\Data has only 300MB and is used for the Apps, their Private Data and some caching
Also the dalvic-cache is in there.
Some Apps have huge Caches ( Browsers come to mind ).
1. Get cache-Mate or similar to delete the caches.
2. check your free space bacause you can't install as many Apps as you want.
3. If you know what you are doing, erase the dalvik-cache and reboot.
Might ( not a fat chance ) that you have a few MB more on /Data
Removed Google Earth, Angry Birds, Google Maps and some other apps, but still System Full ?!?!?
Deleted all apps caches, moved some Apps to SD card using Apps2SD.. Still System Full?!?!
I don't understand

Do you have the 101 16G or 8G of memory?
Move some of your larger apps to "internal memory".

Hardware in my signature.. Archos A101IT 16GB + 16GB SDCard
I have a big problem if it is not normal or not, I just installed the rom based on android 4.1 (omega rom), did a full wipe, even format the internal storage was empty now, but for some reason there are 500 mb that are being used by a hidden folder called:'' system data'', which can not be deleted and also missing from Windows Explorer.
Is this normal? I would also like to clarify that the size of this ''folder'' for some reason is growing
And it will grow with any apk you'll install.

Thanks for the comment, then it is normal that in the phone's internal memory truth (which supposedly is 16GB)?
I do not understand is why they are there if i format the internal memory from recovery.
UP, please help me!! apparently this space: ''system data'' increases more and more for every application that installed, this means that applications are installed on internal memory space?
That 500MB is a partition on the sd card for.....you guessed it......system data.....note in the picture you took there is currently nothing in that partition

But if a partition, its size should not be still? because it increases and decreases in size?
Why is it then that partition increases when installing an app? and if uninstall the volume decreases ... assumes that applications are installed in "/ data/app" then that is what takes up space?
updates
any??
I am running Cyanogenmod 11-20140216
Total Space - 9.59GB
Available - 1gb
Apps - 277mb
Pictures, Videos - 175mb
Audio 232kb
Downloads - 373mb
Cached Data - 3.13mb
Misc - 807mb
By my math I should have roughly 8gb available. What am I missing? I have wiped cache/Dalvik and reset the phone from recovery and still no dice. Please help!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am trying desperately to clear the out of space errors.

Have you done any nandroid backups on your internal storage? I know they usually take up about 2gigs of space
Sent from my my Lollipopped S4
I've been searching recently for an answer to that problem.
I took it upon myself to explore in ES File Explorer and found that I could only explain roughly half of the internal storage usage.
I decided to see what I could find in the root folders or system folders.
When I went from the root level, I went to the Storage folder and brought up the properties of 'sdcard0' and found it to be at 4.38GB's used.
I did the same to the 'emulated' folder and found it to be at 8.79GB's.
Looking inside the 'emulated' folder, I found '0' and 'legacy' folders. At firsty glance of the files inside those folders, they seem to be perfect copies...
Could this be the problem we're having? Would it harm us to delete the files in one of these folders over the other?

That got me to about 5.5gb available. I also did some other cleanup. I should be clost to 9gb available now. Consider me perplexed.
psychot3ch, I noticed a very similar lay out in mine. Would love to know the answer to your question.
Also, is there way to wipe the sdcard, not the external, completely. I noticed after a factory reset there were still a lot of files hanging around. Pictures I had taken and downloaded. Is there any way to wipe everything completely and start fresh?
I deleted a bunch of system apps with titanium that was about 1 or 2 GB and didn't recover any space. Am I correct 100mb = 1gb or is it 1000mb

Did you try FS Trim?
As I understand it, sometimes the Filesystem doesn't free up space after items were deleted. FS Trim will take care of that.
I know it's included with Android Tuner, probably can find it in a bunch of other apps too.
Hi Guys!
Just wanted to get this straight once and for all from you, the experts.
I have bought this cheapo Chinese device (yeah, I know...)
The guy selling it swore on his life that the device had 12gb of storage for app installation.
I didn't quite believe that so I asked him to send me a benchmark screenshot to see what was the storage situation and he sent me this:
i.imgur.com/KAyugUv.jpg
So as it says, while it has 12.5 GB of "Internal Storage", it only has 0.68 GB available of System Storage...
And my understanding is that, lots of apps simply Won't install anywhere else besides the System Storage, and even if you can Move the app to the internal storage, it will Still take up some space on the system storage...
Am I understanding this correctly?
If that is so then, does that mean that after my apps use up that measly 680 MB of space on the device I am "SOL" and I won't be able to install anything else on the device??
Thanks for the help!

This unit has android 4.4.4
Could you post a walkthrough on how to do that so that no apps take space under System Storage?

look ..if he means by system storage (the size of the ROM that will be installed) that mean you have 12 GB for your apps and that what i think it means(no android system can take 12gb !!)......and for moving your apps....you can try towelroot to root your device and install any app that can help you moving your apps....or try to go to settings>>apps>>and press the menu button and see if there is a option called...preferred installation bath or something like that>>>set it to removable sd card

I found this on another page:
"System Storage" is where the OS and the System Applications are installed. This could also be considered where the User application are installed (based on your question). User installed applications are installed in /data/apps, settings and app data is stored in /data/data, and then application cache data is stored in /cache. These are all part of the "System Storage".
Internal Storage is an area that is used like an sdcard. As far as the Android OS is concerned, it is an sdcard. Some applications may save data to it, but it is mainly used as direct storage for your stuff. Like pictures taken with the camera, music, ringtones, things like that.
You cannot just adjust the size of system memory. Is it technically possible, yes. But doing so could require you to have knowledge of linux tool, rooting, custom roms, recoveries, and even possibly having to compile your own linux kernel and ROM or other information that I am not thinking of at the moment. Which is well beyond the scope of this site.

So that basically means is that all apps by default will install themselves or lots of info about them on the 1gb System Storage... And that translates to running out of space almost instantly if I start installing apps...
Perhaps the Root option could help alleviate some of this space constriction by forcing all apps to install in the Internal storage and leave the System storage completely alone?
