I just flashed AOKP's JB rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30974673#post30974673).
Problem 1: I receive an error when trying to install some apps, saying "Error: Couldn’t install on USB storage or SD Card”. I read that this is external SD card related? I have found a minor workaround, uninstalling the app then reinstalling it. Anyone have any other thoughts?
Problem 2: After install, went to camera and got an error saying SD Card is running out of space. When I go to “Setting–>Storage” I have the following:
Internal Storage
Total Space 1.97 gb
Available 1.21 gb
Internal Storage
Total Space 11.36 gb
SD Card
Total Space 14.83 gb
Anyone have any thoughts? I have plenty of space on my phone, however, it seems that everything I install is being put into that first Internal storage space. This was a fresh install after clearing all data and factory setting but don't understand why everything is being there.
Thanks in advance for the help.
I have no such problem, make sure you do full wipe?

I wiped everything twice before flashing. I noticed the same problem (as for the memory) on my previous July 3rd, AOKP ICS rom. I dont know if I have a partition set up on my internal which is where everything is being saved to, which is why its filling up so quick....
Also, I cant seem to figure out how to change the save directory to external SD card for camera.
Thanks for all the help.
Edit:
---it also appears that I am unable to receive pictures through text messages...don't know if it is related at all.
I have wiped and re-flashed the rom twice already.
The storage configuration is correct. the 2gb internal is for system. 12gb is user internal storage.
completely normal.

Hi,
Is it possible to move an existing app or install new app to USB Storage (comes along with SGS2) and not to the external SD card (i dont have though as 16 Gb is enough for me )......
When ever i install an app its getting installed in System storage (only 2 GB max available and i already have nearly 1.3 gb filled up there ).......so is it possible to move the stuffs from there to the internal USB STORAGE.........i checked app2sd but seems to be its poitning to the external sd card.....
also, when i went to applications and clicked "Move to SD card" its shwoing as not enough memory......
i have tried searching entore XDA but could find a viable solution.....
@JJEgan: Please do not tell me to search the net/ xda forums as a reply to this question (which u have already given to others http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135233) as i have already searched a lot and tried different apps...but none could give me what i am really looking for.......
Any help on this is much appreciated........
Hmm, when I select Move to SD, it moves it. No problem at all. Puts them on the internal one.
Unreleated but might be helpful

When I moved some of my apps to sdstorage (internal) I did not know that if you do a factory reset it wipes your internal sdstorage (i.e. sdcrad), so make sure you do a backup to computer if you need to factory reset your device.

Oh wow. Which 'factory reset' function are we talking about in that case? You know, the one through the dialer, or the one in the options menu. I know, they do exactly the same but.. I noticed that if I select wipe data/factory reset in the recovery menu, it does not touch my SD cards at all. Let it be internal or external. Weird huh?
I am not too sure...

The thing is that I keep fiddling with my phone and my internal sdcard got wipe a few times. I know that the dialer will delete your stuff on the internal sdcard, but I think the one on the options menu also delete the sdcard, but I am not 100% sure and dont really want to try again just incase. So unless someone can confirm it better do a backup to PC.

Am i missing something here folks, sorry to hijack this thread i dont wanna start a new one and it's a similar issue i have,when i connect the cable from my phone to the usb on my laptop i cant see my SD card (even after i have unmounted sd card)
what am i doing wrong here, all i wanna do is to copy music and files onto my external SD without having to physically taking the SD card out of the phone.
cheers
Unmount? You must've meant mount. You mean when you select Mount USB from the status bar, the external sd won't show up? What about the internal one, can you access that one?

Guys,
Sorry to disturb you in your conversation
but, i think my question is not answered or i didnt understood the replies.....can any one of you pls help me
i am having the same problem as smilingcruel. keeps saying not enough memory. Am i actually trying to save to an external sd and is there a setting i should change? running out of space quick.
Hi.
I have the same problem, but it seems no one has answered the question yet.
Is there any solution ?
Maybe the problem has been addressed in some other thread... thanks in advance for your help.

I have the same problem that when I say move to SD it tells me "Failed to move application: Not enough Memory" but when I look on the sd card I see it there.
Also, it seems not all can be moved to the internal sd card. I was hoping to do something like link2sd does but it requires you to repartition the SD card and I'm not how to do that with the internal one.
link2sd rocks for creating links for just about any app on your sd card.
Not sure if this would help. I have been having d same prob previously.
But once i inserted a SD card (regardless of wat d size is), i'd able to send d apps to the internal memory through app2sd. (not d external sd in fact)
No answer yet ?
How can we move our app from internal phone memory ( 2 gb ) to out USB Storage (30 gb internal )
Move to SD option says that "Failed to move application.No SD card"
I have enough memory on my phone (32 bg ) and I don't want to add an external SD card , how can I sole this problem ?
thanks
So there is any solution to install apps on USB Storage? Because when I move them by App2sd to external SD they disappeared after rebot.
I'm using Omega v19.2 Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ROM, but probably it's the same problem on stock.
I am having this issue also, but in Jelly Bean.
I used a 4GB SD card to flash my phone with Chameleon ROM (4.1.2 JB) and the SmartROM kernel, when the phone was setup and working I removed the SD card.
Before when I used Resurrection Remix (also 4.1.2 JB) that was not an issue, but then again I had never used a SD card with it.
Now I can not install anything because of lack of space and I can not move any app to the Internal "USB" partition... even though there is 5 GB free.
I did format the entire phone (using CWM Recovery, formatted system, data, etc, etc) before I installed Chameleon.
What gives?
This thread went quiet without a resolution, I have the same issue on 4.1.2, with my internal sd 12gb partition being empty and apps not moving either saying failed or not enough space.
With an external sd card mounted it moves them there, but after a reboot as others mentioned they now longer function.
Any help would be appreciated!
Parition works with CM9 and CM10.2 oddly not sammy 4.1.2
Ok so heres the deal. My phone shows 2 internal memory sections. One of them is the actual internal memory, but the other (27gb) is ACTUALLY my external SD card. And I don't know what 'SD CARD" represents. Maybe the expanded internal memory? I don't know when this happened or how. I've known it was this way for a while but I didn't worry about it until I ran out of space and it started causing problems. Which it is now. The problem is, that no matter what settings I change in the phone, if I change apps/photos to save to the SD card, they don't really save to the SD card, they save to one of the ones listed as internal memory. So I basically bought a 32gb sd card for no reason because my phone is completely out of space. My apps can't even update. I wake up in the morning with a notification bar full of "insufficient storage, cannot download" messages.
Has anyone heard of this happening before or has it happened to you? Can someone PLEASE tell me how to fix it. Screenshots are attached.
Also, my phone is rooted and running Jokersax (now Th3Bill's) CM10 ROM, but it has been like this probably since Jokers CM9 ROM.
Thanks in advance for the help =]
Okay, I am and have ran almost all Th3Bill ROMS, and Am currently on Pac man. The images below are going to work no matter what ROM you have. First shows my actual internal memory the Rom is running in, SD Card, is the actual internal memory for storage.
The second picture shows another internal which would be my 16 gig card. Which comes as SDCard 1, my internal is known as SDCard 0. This is set because I chose this when installing the Rom, emmc(internal) as my primary.
This would be switched if I chose my SDCard as primary in installation.
With as many applications, games or such you have. You may want to wipe all and reinstall with your SDCard chosen as primary. This way you will have plenty of memory.

Re: Internal SD Card not mounting?
Well I'm on the slimbean rom 4.2.2 build 2.5
Current, when I go to storage, it says that I have only 1.97gb of internal storage when I should really have 11gb.
I'm running stweaks with the ajk "everything works" kernel
In storage, there is a category called "USB STORAGE" under it, it says Mount SD Card but it's greyed out. And then it says "insert an SD card for mounting" meaning that my phone doesn't even think I have an internal SD card.
In CWM, of I try to Mount SD card, of doesn't let me and if I retry to format SD card, it doesn't let me

This happened to me once. I removed the card and put in my PC then copied all the data off as a backup. I reformatted the card and then when I put it back into my phone it mounted great. I then went back and moved all the data back via USB.

USB storage would be the internal memory, or internal sd card if you prefer, and SD card would be the external sd card which you must insert first before you can mount. If you will look again, you will probably see that it says device memory is 1.97 gb total space with usually 1.something gb still available. I don't know your rom and kernel real well, but maybe device memory is called internal storage? USB storage should say something like 11.36 gb total space.
So if the USB storage is not being recognized then the problem could be either hardware or firmware related. So did you flash back to stock, or reflash your rom or another rom? That would be the first step of troubleshooting.
you formatted your external sd card to do this?
Researching...
so i did some more looking around on the forums today and found out that there is a way to get back your internal sd card by running these commands
i opened up terminal emulator and ran these commands that i saw on another forum:
su
echo mkdir /storage/sdcard0 > /data/local/userinit.sh
chmod 700 /data/local/userinit.sh
reboot
apparently, after the reboot, your phone is supposed to have mounted the internal sd card manually.
however after trying this method twice and rebooting, i still have the same error and my sd card has yet to be mounted

nope, all it says is that internal storage total space = 1.97gb
SD card stoage space (external sd card) = 3.68gb (this is true becasue i have a 4gb external sd card)
theres nothing that says 11.36gb free total space

I got distracted when I was posting that and hit send before I was finished. I went back a few minutes later to finish it. The whole point was to say that the problem is either hardware or firmware related, and to troubleshoot it you need to flash back to stock, or re-flash your rom or another rom.
Also, assuming the mount commands you used in terminal are good working commands, it would point to possible hardware failure.

CM sometimes messes with the partitioning or something. I have almost no experience with CM so you will need to get some advice from the CM guys. Try posting in the CM user thread maybe. Also mention your memory question there as it could be related to CM, maybe.

i used their odin and now im stuck on cache.img
hey i just saw something interesting. when i go to CWM and try to install from internal sd card, it says "E: Can't mount /emmc/" any ideas as to what that means?
SOLVED!
First off, i want to thank all of you guys for helping me out i couldnt have done it without your support and suggestions.
Heres how i solved the internal sd card problem:
Well, i tried to use odin but odin didnt work and then i used the cyanogenmod 9.1 stable build but that didnt fix it either
Heres what i did: Downloaded the Cyanogenmod 10.1 Nightly build for 3/29/13.
after flashing it in cwm (i put it onto my External sd card), i rebooted system, it loaded up and whatnot
and then it told me that my internal sd card was either corrupted or unsupported.
it also gave me the option to format it in order to fix any corrupted files.
so i formatted it and voila! its fixed
I have several strange issues with my my rooted Gnote, the strangest of which has to do with internal storage. Out of the blue, two days ago I began experiencing the dreaded "storage space is running out" on both internal storage (2GB) and the emulated sd card (16GB). Since my Gnote is no longer my daily driver I decided to wipe everything and start over from scratch. After the wipe and flashing a new rom (Carbon). I checked storage and the emulated sd card as well as my external 32GB Sandisk showed lots of space available. However, internal storage shows that of the 2GB, 186MB is taken up by apps and 2MB is taken up by cached data, yet only 209MB is available; this after wiping everything! I downloaded Disk Usage which gave me some decidedly strange results. It shows that applications takes up ~200mb and system data takes up 1.62MB with 208MB available. I don't see how that 1.62GB figure can possibly be right. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here or how to fix it?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Never mind! I figured it out! I must have hallucinated wiping the data partition. I tried it again and so far, so good.

Hi,
By any chance was your internal sd encrypted?
If you can access your internal sd via PC, backup all your files onto your PC then format your internal sd using recovery (listed as sdcard0 or internal sd) using the default settings if your are using CWM. Make sure that the filesystem is vfat or fat32.

Hi
Just looked into my storage (which is repartioned to 1 gb system and 4 gb data) an saw the following:
the internal storage is 3,94 gb (which must be data)
the rest of the sd0 is listed as portable storage 8,99 gb
also listed as portable storage is the sd1 (which i choosed as external storage on first setting).
so i believe the rest of sd0 (after having partioned) is just called "portable storage" .
in my thinking to make this portable sd0 to internal storage would mean to make it to data partition.
maybe i think completely wrong (and i dont know the size of your partitions)

Sorry I've taken a while to get back. After a lot of trial and error I've realised that both the internal an external SD card partitions were corrupted. I relashed the pit files and reverted back to CWM recovery and reformated all partitions.
The only problem I faced after was after installing CM13 Gapps kept telling me that storage space was still insufficient, even though I had relashed the internal memory with a new pit file.
I've heard that you have to revert back to a stock ROM after flashing the pit before your increased storage is recognised for the installation of Gapps, so I've reverted back to a stock ROM and I'm soon to factory reset and reinstall CM13 to see if the increased partition size is recognised for the Gapps installation. If though I've tried installing Nano Gapps it's given me the insufficient storage error.
I'll keep you posted.

Hi
It does'nt make any sense at all to go back to stock-rom after repartitioning.
Please correct me If i am wrong but i think you are just trying and not following a proper guide for repartitioning and installing cm13.
Do understand your problem and provide help you could give detailed information which exactly Files you flashed in which order and which method.
You are also talking about cwm altough you need isorec recovery twrp 3..... in the process of flashing cm13. Besides in this recovery you can change with lanchons repit tool all repartition-sizes just as you like.
