I'm not being funny mate but isn't this the most obvious thing, you clearly have too many files and you've like ran out of space, at least that's the way it looks, move some apps to external sd card or just delete..SIMPLES :laugh:
this happened to me before, apparently some apps after being uninstalled, still have some files left over, if you try to reinstall the same app, you will get the error.
check under the data folder for any remnants of the app you're trying to install, its likely that it left some behind.
hope this helps!
Thank you but the strange thing is that i have more than 5 giga empty in my internal memory!!!!!!!

m having the same problem. i have 4+ gb space empty but still a few apps are not installing. this happened after root. it there anything wrng??????????
Guys, sit back and relax. It is not important how much free space you have on internal or external SD card, but how much leftovers are still persisting in Data partition.
Easiest way to sort it out: use LuckyPatcher (please do not ask from where to take it), Start it, use troubleshooting, and choose Remove fixes and backups (insufficient storage available).

thank man. thanks a ton. u made my day.... :good:
Or you can delete dalvik cache

It happens when you have unused odex files in data/app
Can remove manually or use luckypatcher (on latest version it' s an automated process to check and remove unused odex at launch)
So simply run Luckypatcher and try once again

I have rooted my optimus one.
just wanna know which are d apps that are neCessary to remain in the phone memory.
so that i cn move rest to sd.
Widgets should remain in the phone memory. Everything else that doesn't run frequently should go to the SD card

Are you using the stock ROM? Apps that are in /system/app cannot be moved to the SD. If you installed it via downloading/installing from the market or somewhere else, you can move it.
Everything that feels like it should be launched no matter what or those that need to be started quickly on boot, keep it on the phone memory.

Yeah. m on stock.
did move sum apps to sd via app 2 sd enabler.
Cmon guys I thougjt it was safe to move all sh#t to sd
It's safe. It's just that apps that need to be started on boot must be there as soon as it can. Read and write speeds on the SD card is much slower than on the phone memory.
Well he didnt ask for fast boot
It's not about fast booting It's about getting the things you need as fast as you can. For example, I need a widget to load as fast as it can since it has to be there as soon as the phone boots. That was my point
Everything that you don't use everyday move to SDcard (if possible). If you move favourite apps to SD and you acces them all day long you will shorten the SDcard's life.
I have void with a2sd enabled. So all user applications are on sd. Can I use titanium backup to move some apps to internal memory?

I used Titanium to move a lot of stuff over to the SD from Internal... Stuff in the /system directory doesn't affect your phone's "Internal Storage Space" as reported in the Settings menu since /data and /system are separate partitions. Apart from /system apps, the only thing that I would want to move to the SD that it couldn't move was the PayPal App from the app-private location. Going into ADB wouldn't allow me to do it either.
Titanium also allowed me to uninstall a bunch of the **** that came installed like game demos. This did not free up additional storage space, with the exception of what it removed from Dalvik-Cache. Which, btw is going to be your biggest issue... Some ROM's allow you to move this to the /cache partition, but this is a relatively small partition (~56MB) on this phone and my Dalvik-Cache currently takes up ~90MB.
Pls reply here guys.

I use app 2 sd to move everything I dont need frequently on SD, than just long press on those program from app 2 sd and Open them.

I used Titanium again and used it to incorporate the updated GApps into the ROM. I knew that I had about 56MB free on the system partition. Putting Gmail, Maps, Street view, Market and anything else that I could find freed 30MB on the data partition.
Before turning on usb connect I have about 25MB of internal storage space. Somehow the phone hang when turning on the usb connect and I have to reboot it. After the reboot I lost around 8MB of internal storage space .
I have look through the files using root explorer and did not come across any unusual big files or names.
Is there a program that help to recover the lost space or how can I go about to recover the lost space. I have tried titanium backup dalvik-cache cleaning but failed to recover any space.
Can I delete the log file from the internal storage /data/log directory (see attachment).

Using stock ROM Froyo and the phone is rooted.
I think the log files in /data/log directory are text files. I have deleted files which are more than 2 MB and I got back 86MB of space. The phone now seems to response better and has not encounter any issue yet. Why are there so many log files in the first place, using up precious space. I am tempted to delete all the log files. Is it a good idea.

Hey!
You can delete log files, BUT SOMETIMES they are useful. Of course if you DONT know how to use log files your self, then you can delete them, but some apps(maybe most of them) great them again(log files, I mean).
And if you want some more space, you can move you APPS to SD, with a2sd or link2sd from MARKET. Of course phone acts better, if it hase more SPACE to manage.
CHEERS!
wow that's curious, my log files aren't bigger than 300k, and have only 5 files. :S

Except for those that must be installed to internal ROM, all my apps are installed in SD card. Now I can move all the log files to SD card and delete from the internal ROM.
Hi there,
I've got a problem.
After I moved some apps to SD Card (using Link2SD or Titanium Backup), they are gone from home screen, app drawer list,and even in the list of installed apps they still missing. However, the files are still in disk but for some reasons, the OS cant detect them.
They only came back (to home screen and app drawer) after I perform Hot Boot.
Could you please explain why that was happening?
And how to avoid that problem?
I am using 4.1.2 Wanamlite XWLSW and Philz kernel 5.06.
Thanks,
I'm not really familiar with moving apps to other storages. But I'd recommend you to leave them where they are. Our SGS2 has storage for hundreds of apps. Plus they are slower if you move them and widgets won't work anymore.
Edit: Almost forgot about that: Big games automatically store their data on sd-card so there's no need to move them since the apps size itself is rather small
Move app using stock function setting》applications》select app》move to sd card
Send from my SGS2 I9100 with HassanROM and latest DorimanX 8.xx kernel

Thanks, but if I dont move them, my Internal storage will be empty and I cant do some of basic functions (ex: take camera pictures, download documents, take screenshots, etc). Moving apps gives me some space in internal storage (maybe around 100 MB).

I tried that but still doesnt work.
I tried using Link2SD and Titanium Backup, but after reboot normally, they are still gone. I tried Smart Launcher, but they stil didnt appear. Because they were listed as uninstalled. The files are there, but the system doesnt load them. Must still do hot reboot first before the system loads them.
I guess I'll take 1 example for disappearing app, this information taken from Link2SD (after Hot Boot):
Temple Run 2 Version 1.2.1 (on SD Card)

What actually Hot Boot does and normal reboot does not?

JB manages Memory in a diff way compared to ICS or GB, so its always better to have the apps where they get installed, rather than moving them to elsewhere and face trouble

But it looks like every apps installs themselves in internal storage (even app that uses big APK size), so soon or later my internal storage will be full. Is there any workaround about that?

just open settings>manage apps and under 'All' tab u can tap on the app and see whether u can move that app to 'sdcard' or not, if its there then u can do it else its better to leave it.
since moving apps to sdcard using third party apps from stores, will always bring issue's for u, rather than resolving the storage problem
I'm running the latest CM snapshot. I've been getting the infamous "Insufficient Storage Available" error for a while not, usually with chrome. There are various solutions. The "delete /data/app-lib/<app>/lib" solution was working ok for me but I can no longer find chrome in there anymore for some reason. I've already moved every app that can be moved to the "internal" SD card. All the "solutions" are really just workarounds trying to clear space.
Is it possible to increase the size of the partition by re partitioning the internal storage?

I know that apps can be moved to the SD card. That isnt a solution nor my question.
I'm asking of the internal storage can be repartitioned
I'm having the same issue. I desperately need to reparation my phone.
i'm running viper rom with the sdcard swap mode.
i'm now back to getting insufficient memory messages when trying to update apps or sometimes run apps. it shows i still have plenty of free memory... i have been moving apps to sd card and that works for a little while.

You need to look at internal storage, not SD card storage.
So I did system dump today to explore the files on my computer see what's hogging all of my space.
Background: I have only have 13 apps installed.
What I found is that my data/data is 346 MB and my data/delvik-cache is 452 MB.
So the files installed by CM are getting more numerous and of greater size. Not sure what to do to solve this problem.

same issue here. davlik cache is similar to a cache of your applications so they start faster. So it doesnt matter if you move apps to SD, you'll still have davlik.
Also, many apps will still store data in internal memory eventhough the app itself is on SD. I wish there were a way to move the data.
Or as I initially suggested, re-partitioning.

well, there isn't ANY easy re-partitioning tool for android out in the wild that i KNOW of ... but, (at least to let you know) ... I'm currently still trying to _hack_ something together similar to the internal storage-partition upgrades that the other HTC One devices with MSM8960 recieved ... where they officially unified the /user partition with the internal /sd-card (fat) partition! ... it might take a few weeks until i have something to show around (as work keeps me very busy throughout the week), but i'm working on it.
just as a quick question so CM currently DOES put it's dalvik to the /user partition??? i thought they put it to /cache??? (at least on CM10.1 and CM10.2) ................ so feedback would be highly welcome :laugh:
Hi,
I am having this error whenever I try to install any app from play store. May I know the reason please, and how to fix it?
Try some anti virus.
In normal cases, there are only 2 reasons for this,
Memory full because of users own stuff (very rare)
Or because of a virus (most of the cases)
What is ur device model by the way???
In some old devices, apps installed on phone memory also occupies space and make this happen.
Remove bloatware from your phone. Maybe that will help.

Wipe data of Google Play Store.
Use Cleaner in Security app or use SD Maid by downloading 'apk' from Google. Else wipe data of play store
I did everything, still it didnt work
anything else?
Use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage&hl=en
Send a screenshot of your disk usage, may not have space allocated to internal data where apps are stored, may have room on phone but space is allocated to something else

Here you go man!
I assume you are rooted as you are running miui, use the same app to check other partitions such as /cache
The way apps are downloaded from the play store there has to be some room there too, problem may be partition size
Also it may help running a logcat during the download process and follow the error
My phone is not rooted. I flashed CWM through Command prompt (some kind of program). Then I flashed MIUI from CWM.
When I looked for cache, it gave me this error (in attachment).
Try going into cwm and wiping cache and dalvik and also clear data in play store
If you can pull a logcat that would be great too
