Hello.
I'm facing the infamous problem of "not enough space" when downloading from the market, while I actually have plenty of space. The ultimate solution seems to be moving download cache to the SD card (symbolic link). The problem is that the download cache with ICS and Google Play isn't located in /cache/download anymore, and I have been unable to find where it is located both searching with Google and browsing the filesystem.
Any help?
Look in the market for opda system tuner lite, it'll clean it right up
Go to /data/app/ and delete the Titanium Backup ODEX. If this doesn't work, read the PM I'm about to send you (moda will complain it's illegal (it isn't for this purpose though)).

Hello. Thank you both for replying, but you both answered a different question than the question I asked. I have already tried to clean market cache, to no success, and I believe very strongly that the solution is moving download cache to the SD card. I found lots of people with Google having my very same problem and fixing it this way. The problem is that I am now using MIUI ICS with Google Play, and the download cache location is different. Does anyone know where the download cache is located with ICS / Google Play Store?
Just to be 100% sure I also tried okmijnlp solution, and as I was expecting it didn't fix the problem.
Ok, solved the problem myself. The folder I had to link to SD card is /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache. This worked on a MIUI v4 ROM (after rebooting).

Could you please advice how you have changed this, as i am new Android user hence not much aware how do go about it.
Hello.
I have bad news for you: after writing my last post here I realised that the problem wasn't actually solved (it only worked fine for a few hours), so linking that folder to the SD card is not a solution to the problem I was experiencing. However you are likely to need to link some folder to another one on your phone at some time, so I am explaining you these steps anyway.
First, you need to be on a rooted ROM. If you aren't, then have a look on the forum about your device here on xda and good luck for the rooting process.
Afterwards, you need the "Terminal emulator" application. If you don't have it, please download it from the market. Then run it and enter the following command:
Code:
su
This will give root rights to the terminal emulator app.
Now you can run the following commands.This will create the new folder on your SD card:
Code:
mkdir /sdcard/downloads
This should move all the contents of the "cache" directory into the new directory which you have just created:
Code:
mv /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache/* /sdcard/downloads/
This should delete the now empty cache folder:
Code:
rm /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache
This will finally created a symbolic link which has the same name of the old cache folder but points to the new folder on your SD card:
Code:
ln -fs /sdcard/download /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache
I am not a Linux expert and I haven't tested these commands on my phone right now, so I'm not 100% sure that I haven't done any mistakes.
thanks for your reply
the solution didnt work for me as i dont have same .com folder. i tried searching on google and below steps helped in resolving the cache issue
1. You gonna need Android Terminal Simulator or equivalent terminal app. This will also require your Android rooted.
2. Type ’su’ (root permission request will be showned, you need to approve it).
3. Type ‘cd /’
4. Type ‘umount /cache’
5. Type ‘mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs rootfs /’ (to set the folder access to rw – read write)
6. Type ‘rmdir /cache’ (delete cache folder)
7. I personally using root explorer to do point 5-6
8. Type ‘mkdir /sdcard/cache’
9. Type ‘ln -s /sdcard/cache /cache (to link cache folder to /sdcard/cache – which should have bigger partition size)
Now i am able to download 30MB application on my phone from market.

Yes, it works for me using the root explorer under CM10.0. Thanks.
Hi!
I'm having the same trouble with not enough space, and when i run these command, it says operation not permitted. What to do? :/ It says thatsome sd card doesn't allow links?
Have you typed "su"? What happened then?
In any case, let me repeat that the procedure above eventually did NOT solve the download cache problem, if this is what you are looking for. The only solution for me was switching to a different ROM.
It's not need to use the console (Terminal Emulator). Just do the following:
1. Install Root Browser Lite (grand rood permissions if neccessary)
2. Delete the /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache folder
3. Create the /sdcard/cache folder
4. Go to sdcard, select the new created cache folder by long press and choose 'Create shortcut' from list, you will see 2 buttons, 'Create' and 'Cancel'
5. Go to /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/ and tap 'Create' button below
6. Enjoy!
You can use any other root file manager, of course.
The download cache was also at /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache/ on the 4.2.1 jellybean ROM I'm running right now as well.
Thanks for posting the info!

Thank you for your extremely clear explanation!
Nevertheless, despite having resolved the problem of lack of space for downloading apps from the store, with the help of your expertise, now everytime i reboot the device it shows me the message "android.process.media has stopped..."
I know it is related with the shortcut for the cache downloads.
Do you know how can I fix it?
Thank you.
TX a lot

I downloaded the leaked google music app from ICS, and it works great.
My only caveat is that when I choose to make something available offline, it goes straight to my internal storage (Motorola Atrix).
I have a 32gb microSD card with a dedicated folder for music. Is there a way I can get the offline songs onto there?
I currently use PlayerPro from the market, and I wanted to use the Google cloud for "wirelessly syncing" my music.
Any ideas?
Nobody was able to figure it out?
Does any other music player sync with google?
Wouldn't it be possible to somehow mount a folder that is located on the sd-card and link it to /sdcard/Android/data/com.android.music/cache just like it is done with the apps2ext hacks on low memory devices?
Would the file system of the sd-card then have to be ext instead of fat32?
Maybe someone who has more practical knowledge of the matter could look into this. I can only theoretically assume how it might work
I did some further research and found this post.
It describes how to mount an external sdcard to to /sdcard instead of sdcard. But would this also work with a subfolder of /sdcard?
I fiddled around myself a bit.
So here is what I did:
format sdcard as ext2
manually mount sdcard since it won't automatically when ext:
Code:
mkdir /Removable/MicroSD
mount -r -w -t ext2 /dev/block/vold/179\:9 /Removable/MicroSD
mkdir /Removable/MicroSD/GoogleMusicData
Then move all data from /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache to /Removable/MicroSD/GoogleMusicData/cache
I did this with root explorer since I'm not too much of a terminal h4xx0r.
Delete the folder /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/
Link the new Folder on external MicroSD Card to the original location via this terminal command:
Code:
ln -s /Removable/MicroSD/GoogleMusicData /data/media/Android/data/com.google.android.music
Since /sdcard is already a link like the one we are setting up here, it is not possible to link to this linked location (/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music).
Instead we have to link to the origninal destination of /sdcard which is /data/media.
Now the microSD card is accessible for root explorer. It shows read and write access.
But google music won't find it. It says that it doesn't have enough space to stream music so I figure that it somehow doesn't have access to the sd card.
What could be the issue here?
Also instead of 28GB free memory root explorer shows me only 364,44MB free memory. the command "df" in terminal however confirms 28GB of free memory.
Help please?
EDIT:
I thought that a reboot might do it. But it doesn't. Instead it gets rid of all the hacking I've done in terminal. So I guess I would have to place a script in /etc/init.d for the link to be set everytime I reboot, right?
Another Fix (no sdcard formatting needed)
This is a fix i figured out piecing together other peoples attempts.
Use this as a script
mount -o bind sdcard2/android/data/com.google.android.music sdcard/android/data/com.google.android.music
Alternately you can change the first location to the location of your choosing as long as it resides on the external as card.
Ex.
Mount -o bind sdcard2/music sdcard/Android/data/com.google.Android.music
will bind:
sdcard/Android/data/com.google.Android.music (google's forced save location)
to
sdcard2/music
Go to google music (play music now) settings and clear any music that is currently saved to your device.
this only applies to music made available offline. If you do not clear it before running the script the music will exist on your internal sdcard but not be accessible.
open script manager and find the script you made
Select it and make sure to click set on boot and superuser
Run Your script.
That is it now your default save location for google music is bound to the location on the external sdcard. the device will see the location as its default but really be saving to the external sdcard.
You can check this by going to google music. Selecting "make available offline" and look at the free space. It should shoe the space available on your external sdcard.
TLR Version (noob version)
I was getting a lot of questions about the preliminary steps here (i.e. rooting, writing script, etc) so i decided to attach the noob version in case anyone needs verification on how to accomplish these steps.
HOW DO I ROOT?
So, Rooting gives you full access and control over your phone. instructions for how to root are device specific. so i would start by searching XDA for "YOUR DEVICE one click root"
ex. samsung galaxy s2 one one click root
some devices are easier to root than others. i cannot provide steps for your particular device, but through XDA, and google you CAN find everything you need.
some devices have one click root tools, some do not, so the rooting process is more in depth for those devices.
rooting instructions are so device specific i could not find a generic set of instructions, and don't want to mislead anyone by linking them to a set of instructions not compatible with their device.
There is a risk of bricking your device (making it inoperable) while rooting, although the risk is minimal... almost non existent if you carefully follow instructions. I have rooted 5 seperate devices without bricking any, and, in most cases even if bricked the device can still be restored.
there are additional benefits to rooting, such as overclocking
for example my Galaxy S2 normally runs at 1.5 GHZ, i have increased the speed to 1.8GHZ
(NOTE** Without XDA DEVELOPERS i would have rooted 0 devices, and probably bricked at least one, so thank you to all of you out there who have helped me, I hope this method will help some of you in return.)
NOW THAT YOU ARE ROOTED...
INSTALL SCRIPT MANAGER..
First, to install script manager just go to google market (Play Store) and search for script manager
INSTALL ES FILE EXPLORER..
To make a script go to google market (Play Store) and find ES File Explorer
WRITE SCRIPT..
Open es file explorer when install completes.
in es file explorer click the menu button, and select "new"
when prompted select "File"
name your file something you'll remember
Ex.MusicScript
Click your new file
when prompted select "Text"
type this EXACTLY how you see it
Mount -o bind sdcard2/music sdcard/Android/data/com.google.Android.music
press back and when prompted to save click yes
MAKE DESTINATION FOLDER..
now on es file explorer click "Favorites" (the star)
a new menu will pop up, at the top you willsee a picture of a phone with "/" underneath it click the phone
this will take you to the root directory
click the folder Sdcard2
click the menu button, and select "new"
when prompted select "Folder"
Name the folder music
Your script and destination music location are created
EXECUTE SCRIPT..
now open script manager
find your script which should be located in the directory /mnt/sdcard and the file name you chose earlier
select the script
open as script/executable
make sure script is selected not executable
click the buttons for "Su" and "Boot"
click save
Go to google music (play music now) settings and clear any music that is currently saved to your device.
this only applies to music made available offline. If you do not clear it before running the script the music will exist on your internal Sdcard but not be accessible.
now reboot the script will run at boot a prompt will appear asking for superuser rights, click yes and remember this selection (it may say something different than remember this selection whichever option resembles remember needs to be selected.)
YOU'RE DONE!!!
your music should now save to sdcard2/music but the device will still think it is saving to the default sdcard/Android/data/com.google.Android.music
You can check this by going to google music. Selecting "make available offline" and look at the free space. It should shoe the space available on your external sdcard.
So try your hardest to figure out how to root using google, and if your not confident enough to attempt it this fix may not be for you.
if you have tried everything you can and are still stuck message me back, including what device you have, and i will see if i can find a link to the rooting instructions for your particular device.
I assume no responsibility if you damage your device... These steps do work, and if followed will fix your music issues as well as introducing you to a world of additional benefits of being a rooted user.
Hey FuzzyMeep Two! Thanks for the great tutorial.
It worked, with some minor adaptions:
1.) The script should read "mount -o ...". Note that there's no space between '-' and 'o'. You got that right in the first script though
2.) On GalaxyS2 with JellyBean/4.1.1 the correct paths are storage/sdcard1 (external) and storage/sdcard0 (internal).
regards,
Patrick
Thank you
Guys any idea how to change the default appdata storage...
\data\data\com.google.android.apps.currents
to
sdcard\Android\data\com.google.android.apps.currents
coz currents stores both cache and data to internal mem...which takes a whopping 100-150mb itself
can i change some vaules to make it store in the sdcard instead.....
I dont know why Google does some stupid stuff it does...
and pl dont suggest s2e app2sd, link2sd etc etc...
i already use s2e...w/o data moved ...
i want data on internal only

Just download 1Tap Cache Cleaner and clear your app caches once in a while. All apps accumulate some cached data so you can free space by clearing them. It's much easier this way.

Remap Cache folder to SD card
So the combined size of Currents cache and content is more free than your internal memory? Not a for sure fix, but looks like folks were able to use terminal commands to remap their market cache to SD card, could try modifying the instructions found here, but substituting the folders that apply to your problem with Google Currents.

rxwookie said:
That one I think I understand... but, unfortunately the answer is that the Dalvik cache partition (where the market APK's are downloaded to) on many original Samsung devices (i.e. Fascinate) is only about 35 MB in size. Anything larger will get rejected as being too big. Most of the newest devices have a larger download partition.
I've seen a few posts on different forums on remapping the download cache to a different, larger partition... but nothing specific to our devices. I've tried following other posts just to see if it works, but suceeded only in either having no effect or messing it up worse and having to reinstall the ROM (not a big deal, but frustrating).
Until one of the smart people here tells us how to remap **our** cache to a larger partition... I'd do a Google search for the APK of the app you are trying to install. That worked for me to install an app about 40 MB in size.
** edit **
I see that you were able to download the app after deleting everything in the cache folder. I guess your device is lucky enough to have a larger download partition than mine does
Glad to see you got it to work!
** 2nd edit - How to remap your market cache to the SD card **
-- UPDATE -- (Thanks to grickson here at XDA)
Problem: Insufficient Storage Space Available (Android Market)
Possible Solution: Remap cache folder to your SD card
** WARNING **
I am not responsible if you mess up your device doing the following. It manually remaps your market cache to your SD card to give you extra space. The only caveat is that if you remove your SD card (or while the SD card is unmounted) the market will not work. If you are worried about losing market functionality, DON'T try this. If you mistype (or the world suddenly tips over or some other unforeseen consequence), you can ruin your ability to run the Android Market at all. Please remember, you can repeatedly clear your Dalvik cache as often as needed to continue downloading apps. you can also get most larger APK's if you spend a few minutes browsing for them. You have been warned!
** END WARNING **
1.) Download and install a terminal emulator
2.) Open the terminal emulator and type su
3.) Allow the app to always have root access and exit
4.) Restart the terminal emulator and type su, the prompt should change to a #
5.) Type the following commands:
# cd /data/data/com.android.vending
# rm -R cache
# mkdir /sdcard/cache/
# mkdir /sdcard/cache/marketCache
# ln -s /sdcard/cache/marketCache cache
- What these commands do are (in order): change directory to your cache folder, delete the entire cache folder, create a directory on your SD card named cache, create a subdirectory in that one called marketCache, link the phone's market cache to the newly created folder on your SD card
To reverse this process (hopefully):
1.) Open the terminal emulator and type su
2.) Type the following commands:
# cd /sdcard/cache/
# rm -R marketCache
# mkdir /data/data/com.android.vending/cache
# ln -s /data/data/com.android.vending/cache cache
Alternately, (from what I understand) you can just repartition your device and reinstall your ROM of choice using ODIN and your market should be back to the way it was.

I have the same issue. Since this was posted 2 years ago I hope you have solved it. I want app data which gets download internally to be saved in my internal storage.
I have edited the apk so that it gets installed in my internal storage but I can't find a way for app data.
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, having an odd problem.
I've made some nandroid backups (about three) via CWM Recovery, and I can't seem to browse to them, or delete them.
It's definitely taking up space, and I'm not sure what to do now.
A backup that I made straight to my external SD card however, seems to be browse-able, so I'm a bit confused now.
Attached are some screenshots from ES File Browser (with root access turned on).
The last screenshot is going to /storage/sdcard0/clockworkmod/ (same directory, but now I can't seem to see anything about "backups").
I've also tried to delete these backups straight from CWM Recovery, but CWM says that it can't access the folder.
Oddly enough, if I do another backup (straight to internal), it seems to put all the files in /sdcard/Clockworkmod/backups but never to be accessed again.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion, but nope, that didn't work. (Obviously tried that first).
The folder was shown as empty via Windows.
After a lot of digging and trying different things (including Root Explorer and Terminal Emulator), I've managed to delete it.
I'll post the instructions so other people who may have similar problems in the future can follow it.
First, you'll need ADB and you'll need to reboot into CWM Recovery.
Once you've gotten that sorted, boot into CWM Recovery and go to "mount and storage" and then select "mount /data".
This will mount the /data structure which we need to use.
Afterwards in CMD, use the following:
Code:
adb root
adb shell
After this, you should be logged in as ~ (root)
Proceed to go into the directory using the cd function. (PROTIP: Use the ls function to check where you're going.)
You need to get to ../clockworkmod/backup/
You'll find that you can finally access the /backup/ folder, and you'll then be able to delete the files. Please note that the below command will delete ALL the files within this folder.
Code:
rm -rf *
Afterwards, do
Code:
cd ..
to get back to the ../clockworkmod/ folder and then run the below code to delete the now empty /backup/ folder:
Code:
rmdir backup
no, to be logged in as root you need to type in "su"

Some of application such as Sygic, Aptoid, Waze and others cannot access to sdcard unless I reboot.
When verffying with Root Explorere I have noticed that the default access to Sdcard is R/O. As soon as I change that to Read/Write every thing goes right.
The problem is R/O keeps come back and apps cannot run until I do modification again.

There are two ways
1 the easy way is an app from playstore to do that at every boot
Are many can do this
2 the hard way is a script
You can paste it to init.d folder or script manager execute at every boot
Do you have gtab?
And sd card should not have sysrw option
Something wrong with install of rom

Peculiar problem. Will have to do some tests and look at some logs to find out the cause.
1. Can you create or delete files/dirs. on the SDcard, and do these changes persist after a reboot? Or do they vanish--like the changes never happened?
2. What's the output of this command right after a reboot?
Code:
$ [B]mount[/B]

There is no such device as a gTablet 7.7. Is this the tablet you have?
1. Use the standard file manager app and create or delete some files and directories on the SDcard. Reboot the gTablet. Verify that the changes you made remain after the reboot.
2. The $ character is just a prompt, used to indicate that the commands that follow can be executed by any user. Don't type that into the Terminal emulator app. Type in only the stuff shown in bold.
3. Setup adb (see the sticky threads) to make entering commands and collecting logs easier.
4. From now on post the exact error or diagnostic messages that you see. Or, make screenshots and post them.

Cubot CW9 add Google Maps API support
One of the problems of CUBOT C9W is not have Maps Api support and some software can't be install if need google maps
I add Here the files to update your CUBOT C9W after install the files reboot the phone
The files are in the folders necessary inside the 2 zip. As we can't flash zips from recovery you'll have to put the files in manually. As this uses google services you probably need to have GoogleServicesFramework.apk installed already in your /system/apps directory (to do this if you haven't either install the market which will include this step or transfer the GoogleServicesFramework.apk there and chmod to 644 like the others below [do this before you reboot as it will be required])
1. Extract the zip files on your computer
2. Copy the extracted files to your device
3. Copy com.google.android.maps.jar into /system/framework via ADB or Root Explorer
4. Chmod (long hold select file in Root Explorer and select permissions) to 644 (owner read/write, group read, others read)
5. Copy com.google.android.maps.xml to /system/etc/permissions the same way
6. Chmod that file to the same permissions
7. Restart your Cubot CW9 to allow it to recognize the new framework

Cubot c9w have a smal problem have a rom very small anyway if you think you can't install many app is not true
I play for many days and I solve the problem like that:
1.- Frist you need to root with framaroot
2.- forget link2sd and all that staff only make problems
3.- look in your phone is select save app in sdcard
4. look in Playstore for SDCARD CACHES PLUS BOOSTER PRO is also a no pay version a test version but work buy that version
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gejos.android.sdcardcachesboosterpro
5- Install the app and select the options exclude only some app from bidding process app like banks app and youtube
6.- Reboot your phone and start install app
That app is magic for cubot c9w if you get some problem any time with a bad reboot scard cache aplication can get superuser access or there and other bidding process go to the app scard cache aplication select delete all the bidding cache and reboot that solve the problem.
