Is it possible to increase the internal storage on the Aria from 185 mb? The Sense 2.1 Salsa port takes up too much internal storage and I just wanted to know if we could increase that amount. The devs over at the TP2 forums have created toporesize which increases the size of the data.img file.
Yea I'm having the same problem. I really hope that there is something that we can do about this.
I haven't used the new sense rom ports, but I believe dt's a2sd is functional on them. You could use this to move apps and dalvik cache to the sd card...

I already moved all the applications that it allowed me to. Problem is, cm7 has an option where you can set where the application gets installed but this Rom only tries to install it to internal storage. It would be great if there was a way to increase internal storage.

You need Dark Tremor a2sd. You can start reading HERE.

Yeah. DT's a2sd tells the system that the apps are installed on the internal storage, but actually moves them to an extention on your sd card. You do have to set up the partition on your sd card, though.
Got it. Thanks!

So I have rooted and rommed a few devices, but still a noob. I know its my own fault for not backing up ext sd, but I have never had one wiped after flashing a recovery. This time it did. I tried the link2sd and it said to partition the ext sd, so I did. It still gives an error and says not enough space, even though I have 6.5g free space. What I am wondering is why my 8g ext sd only shows a total of 6.5? What is taking up the remaining 1.5g? And is there any way to get back the pics I had before it got wiped? Any apps for that? NCIS makes it look so easy..lol

Attached is the picture from my storage page. Prior to this I deleted a few apps and I thought I had enough space to download GTA Vice City. Halfway through is stopped and had an available space error. What was downloaded was still appearing in memory so I went into recovery and wiped both the cache and delvik cache. I also wiped the play store app and google services framework data and caches so I could try to reset the issue. Since then other apps have been unable to update or download due to "insufficient space", and google music won't play because of it. How can I get this cleared up?
I am running stock android rooted with clockworkmod touch recovery.
Thanks
Try folder mount app in market to free up all that space. I haven't tried it personally but I heard it works for some.
Moves big apps to sdcard and link them as if they were installed on phones memory.

If I were you I would flash back to stock after you first clean out the phone then reinstall everything and use that app.

I found the issue. There was a lot of space tied up in /emulated. I've deleted those files and I can install things again. Unfortunately the storage screen still isn't adding up but it's a start
Okay I don't mean to intrude to this post but I am having the same problem with memory and I was wondering if someone could help me.
Now I still have. Zip files on my phone now once I flash them could I delete them or how's that work. Someone please help.

Ok I have 2 16gb sd cards 1 formated extsd with 4gb free out of 16gb and the 2nd card is fat format with 15.1gb free out of 16gb. I have a vzw gs4, and I use SafeStrap, I waqnted to do a back, so I installed the fat32 with 15gb available and it was trying to make the back up on the internal which didnt have enough memory, So then I put the exfat sd with 4gb available, and I was able to make the backup on that sd, I thought that fat worked on every gs4 and the exfat was the buggy one, Is it just a loki safestrap thing? TIA
Hope I get an answer, Its been a while since anyone has posted in here, Thanx again...

exFAT is a newer format that's Microsoft proprietary. The primary advantage over FAT32 is that it allows files greater than 4 Gb.
So, the likely problem is that your backup was bigger than 2Gb and couldn't be stored on FAT32.
Just a guess since you didn't say exactly what you used for the backup.
And exFAT isn't buggy, it's just less frequently supported.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. I fixed my post to have the right size, in case anyone is wondering what joshm is on about.
So I was able to delete this before but I can't now and it's taking up hella space... I've tried searching to no avail so can anybody tell me how to delete the sdcard0 on my storage file???
So I guess it deleted everything all my pics and music and what not storage>sdcard0 still there... how/what do I do to set it back to normal before I start putting my pictures and music back???
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 4 Beta
sdcard0 is your mount point in the os for your internal storage it can not be removed, you can how ever format it in settings>storage. what rom are you using, are you talking about the 0 folder that sits in the sdcard area?
Yes I found that out the hard way HAHA I thought it was the one created when using an aosp or aokp ROM I'm running Viper DNA so just reformat it then? Just don't like that there are 2 files showing up with the same content in it one "SD card" and one in storage>SD card 0
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 4 Beta
instead of going through storage at root just go to sdcard and it wont show it as odd if you going to tell a program to save a file though it needs to have the 0. its just how 4.1.1 mounts it, if you had 4.2 you would have a 0 folder inside sdcard once you went back like i now do but am to lazy to delete cause theirs probably something ill need later in it. how many apps do you have since they are saved in same partition as the sdcard on our phones since we don't have removable storage. that's probably why your running out of room.
Thanks I don't have many under 100 I use to have crazy amount haha huh well I guess I never noticed it said sdcard0 cool thanks for responding

Hey guys,
so the S2 of a friend of mine has an issue where it tells you that you don't have enough space to install new apps. The Phone is running CM10.2 Stable and I already tried a factory reset. The thing is that she has almost 10GBs free in the internal storage and about 1GB on her (2GB)SD-Card, in the settings under "storage" it says that both were full, even though they clearly have enough free space.
Can you tell me how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks for your time and help in advance.

There is also an internal storage for apps, it's normally 2GB (the first one in settings - storage). Have you tried moving apps to the sdcard?
Reformating the storages? (backup!)
Or use a PIT file to increase the 2GB internal storage for apps.
Okay I didn't see that, apparently there really are 2 partitions labled "internal storage" the one has 12GB and the other one 2GB as you said, App2SD can only move some Apps, but somehow there's something taking up over 1GB of Storage that isn't labled anywhere, what could that be?
Try clearing your logs to free up space

1GB of the 2GB internal storage?
Make a screenshot of your storagespace and post it here.
Here's the screenshot:
It's showing that only about 420MB are used, that means that about 1.4GB are not showing up there and they are used by something else

Strange.
/data is the location. Look in /data/log maybe that's full with logs or something.
Nope, nothing. I tried an app that deletes thumbnails, cache, temporary files and stuff but that just freed a couple of megabytes :/ What else could it be?

Did your friend experienced this problem after he/she flashed this rom or recently flashed cm 10.2?
If so, did your friend got through all the necessary steps?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I flashed it for her, I installed the latest CWM, I wiped /data and /cache and the dalvik cache and then I flashed the latest CM10.2 and gapps at the time. I did that because it was showing this error previously but reflashing CM didn't fix it and that's why I ask here.

Try these steps, backup because everything will be lost.
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Format /system
Format /data
Flash rom
Flash gapps

I tried that today but it's still showing me the error.
Could I somehow repartition everything so that I merge the 2GB and the 12GB-Partition? And if so, how do I do it?

You said there where no logs. Anyway good to have it solved. Please add [SOLVED] to the thread title.

Sometimes logs are good but the space if you forgot to turn the log command off is just a pain in the ass. I had once a 6gb log file

I've had issues with this in the past.
One solution that works: if you have 'lucky patcher' installed, open it, (you'll see a pop-up detailing a cache or something clean), now close the app.
All should be good now.
2nd solution, use 'SD Maid', loads of options and works for me.
Good luck.

One would never suggest using cracked apps, though I merely offer a helpful option if one has done.
