[Q] How can I free some device memory ?? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use 1 TAP cleaner to wipe out cache , but since last few days i see that much more "device memory" has been used by what i don't know !!
I uninstalled many less-used apps from the task manager yet the "free-memory" shown is not as much as it should be on the device !!
I also move many apps to SD using app2sd but still the device memory has not been freed as per my expectation !!
Am i missing something , help me out guys because out of the 1.97 GB available i have hardly 0.94 GB left as free memory on device !!

Just counted roughly & the downloaded apps account for about 150 MB , that's all !!
Am i missing a trick here ???

Try wiping dalvik cache in recovery. That takes up quite a bit of space in the data partition. Wiping it will rebuild it again and clear out some leftover bits from old apps (I suppose)

It's your app data that's probably hogging up all your storage. Try installing Storage Analyser and use that to find out what's taking up too much storage. I'm pretty sure Storage Analyzer can be installed on your sd.

Just downloaded storage analyzer but it only analyzes the SD !! Secondly my device is "not rooted" , is there still a way or is there an app available which shows "phone memory" analysis & a way to remove unnecessary cache ??

Can you give your device into first ?

What is wrong with having 0.94Gb left?

Internal memory shortage!!

Although we can move apps to sd with rooted device but it still comsumes some memory form mobile. Is it not possible to move apps to sd without any consumstion of internal memory?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA
I dont think so...
Partition your SD and use link2SD if you're on stock rom or a2SD / s2e if you're on custom rom. Still, all apps use a small amount of internal storage. Also check if your cache isn't too big, I've recovered up to 40 MB by clearing cache every few months.
You can use "S2E" from market and tick all option including the data one but you will get a decrease in performace. For data you must enter in definitions and tick advanced for accessing it.
I am using Miracale v4 by itasoulas and using link2sd to move apps to sd but if i download heavy size app or games it takes much more internal memory so, i'm running out of internal memory.
If i do partition of my sd card to install app separately will it also consume internal phone memory?

I have made partition of sd yet. Im thinking of making it if I get any solution.
I used Link2SD and now have over 100mb free internal space. I partitioned the sd card to ext3, 1024mb.... works like a charm, no performance issues.. widgets are recognized as well.

lol why should I? who cares anyway.
get titanium backup and use the "Convert to system app" option...this moves the app to free ROM memory...this should give you at least 25-45 MB user memory

Forum ma search kar bo topic 6 enu upar
i choose manual to move app to sdcard from settings(no use any app for this),20 hd games+17 casual games + 35 apps i still have 70mb free memory,maybe s2e gives more free space but it isn't stable,sometimes when i unplug my battery because of lags,then my apps are gone,link2sd is rubbish,they just give me 40 mb space and unstable like s2e.
sorry for my english

Absolutely true, the only thing good is that it still keeps the app fast (+ widgets) and no hassle on connecting USB
Useful for just those 4-5 apps one wants
Even in link2sd no hassle in USB class 10 sdcard so its super fast :-D

You need a rooted Ace for this? And custom ROM?
Guys,
Sorry to ask a noob question:
I know how to partition the SD card to EXT, but does these apps mentioned, Link2SD etc, working with stock rom? And uprooted phone?
Thanks.
Yes.
But you need follow the tutorials that are posted in the forum (hit search).
In stock roms u need (i guess) another kernel that support inid.d scripts.
The only reason i love cyanogen is because of s2e, after move dalvin on ed-ext i have 160 mb and with all my apps (20-+) i have 140mb.
I don't know if on stock u can do what s2e does but there are another tricks. (Link2sd) for exemple.

[Q] Not enough storage? How can I extend "Device Storage" space?

Hello guys,
Problem is that the device showed that it is unable to download or update new apps from Play because it does not have enough storage.
1. Device storage - 280 MB free
2. USB storage - 10 GB free
3. SD card - 11 GB free.
I used APP2SD and moved all apps that I can, but it did not really help.
My question is:
How can I extend the "Device storage" space? Which has total of 1.97 GB only....
My device is:
GT-19100T
4.1.2
Kernel
3.0.31-1211311
I think it is stocked carrier rom and unrooted.
somebody knows?
R u rooted ?
U can delete odex files from data/app
U can clean all cache aps
Very good cleaning apk is sdmaid .
If u change setings in sdmaid it will clean odex for u

I am not rooted - But I can be if neccessary.
I made a full reset from device settings, then made wipe from the stock Recovery.
Before reset all device content, I tried cleaning apps cache and use the APP2SD... I didn't try the sdmaid.
So what the size of these Odex files?
And what about extending the partition from 1.97 GB to bigger than that? Is there any SAFE option to make that? I want to avoid getting this error again.
I saw some threads about people that also stucked with error about "not enough storage" even though they had EMPTY sd card, and lots of space in USB device memory...... But no good solution yet.
Thanks!!!
That wot i knw extending colud cause problems its no worthit try to clean ur media cache and the rest rubish use sdmaid to clean ur phone . am use it all the time and never had anny issue with not enough storage

I got same phone and same ROM and you can't choose default installation place, because S3 has internal storage for apps.
Maybe some notes from my experience will helps to you:
1. Not enough space error - this error causing not only when you have few storage space, this error may cause when not enough space in cache, where play store downloading updates/new apps before install. So in such situation any cleaner will helps to you, i'm using SD Maid Pro, but free Clean Master on any other cleaner will be useful
2. If you will install lot of heavy apps (Like i do) - you will always suffer from a lack of free space, so you need something to move heavy data from phone storage to SD-card - my choice was Folder Mount, that moved android\data and android\obb to sd-card but you can link absolutely any folders in internal card to SD.
3. Abut updates it is not clearely, can you provide more info about your phone, what update you trying to install and some logs/screenshots/description about error in installation?
Same problemo
i had the same problem once with stock 4.3 but now am in a custom ROM no problemo now
