I just recently rooted my GN2 for Verizon and everything has been working great, except that I keep getting this error with almost every app I try to install. I used titanium backup to move the files over to the sd card and I even changed the android default app install to the sd card as well. Is there something I'm missing? Are we bound to a small ROM partition or something? I'm shocked that I'm still showing almost 10 gigs of internal storage free yet I can't install a 10 meg app.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!!
Ended up clearing the cache and wiping all the data. That seemed to have worked. Hopefully the issue doesn't come back. Any clue what the root cause of this may be? I've seen countless threads on it and every single one seems to resolve it differently.

Hi all,
i know this question has been posted many times but it didn't really help for me. I've flash my phone to 2.3.4 and root it with CF-ROOT. I checked my phone storage and internal memory is still left with 700+M.
However when i install apps by running APK or installing them from market, it keeps prompting that there is insufficient storage.
Its definately not any issue with the market because i used the new market and the old one and even running apk direct, it still gives me the same problem.
Is there a hard limit in the phone that sets some memory for internal use thus i can't use the 700M left?
Not my device (I'm running an original Fascinate with custom ROM), but have you tried booting into recovery and wiping the Dalvik Cache?
Once you do this and reboot the device, it will take a few minutes to reach the main screen as the cache has to be rebuilt.
It worked for me, though I had to wipe the darn thing several times as I was reinstalling all my apps.
Hope this helps,
Wook
Hello, I have looked around the threads for possible solutions and have come up with none. I am currently using Telus Fascinate Galaxy S and currently running the stable CM7 with the Glitch kernel. I'm having troubles recieving text messages; it keeps telling me that there is full memory. The problem is that i have over 12GB of space on my sd card and it says 0.00B of space on the internal storage. I just flashed it and my internet works fine. Every other thread has found the solution in moving apps to the sd card but the difference with me is that I have no apps downloaded yet.. is there a known fix to this?
I had the same problem, did u flash the latest nightly by chance?? #181..
I don't know a fix persay, but if you free up some space in the /datadata, also found in /data/data, partition it will let your msgs come through.

Thanks for the reply, once a flashed the nightly 181 i got my text messages working again, however, any downloads i try to make still send the "free up some space and try again". i cleared all the cache's, moved everything i could to my sd card (which still has plenty of space) and i changed all my settings to install external and unchecked internal storage, if i try download anything from the internet or from the market, nothing works
I have now tried both MIUI and CM7 on my phone, both of them state that there is no internal memory (0.00B). Would there be a problem with the Glitch V13 kernal i'm using or is there a step in the flashing process i missed?
I'm running MIUI/glitch without the above issue. What was your install process?
I got most things working now, what modem are you running though?

tell us how you got it to work so others may benefit from similar issues. thx
Regardless of what I do, how many apps I uninstall, how many apps I downgrade, or how many "sacrifices"(lol) I make, my phone keeps populating the internal space and giving me a Low on Space message which keeps me from installing/updating or doing anything really. Last night I had 104mb free, now I have 48mb, all I did was sleep.
I'm running a V6 Supercharger script and thats really all I can think about that would be causing these problems.
I use app2sd to move all the apps I can over.
A virus? It would be a first for me on android.
I'm using a Huawei Mercury with the leaked "factory" 4.0.1 install. I performed the upgrade about 4 months ago and haven't had problems until maybe a month ago. Maybe a hard reset, or factory data reset and a reinstallation of everything will resolve it, but i'm afraid of it happening again.
I have 1gb allocated to the rom/apps, and then 2gb internal storage that I just don't use.
I've fixed the problem a few times and it just happens again, any help would be greatly appreciated! :crying:

Is what i do about once a month is format my sd card and re-partition it,this keeps the access trash(files,apps,etc.)from cluttering everything up,you using app2sd isnt going to be enough,as soon as you run out of allocated space in your ext.it will start using your internal,hence the low space warning.Nand your existing rom,then backup everything up to your desktop,format your entire phone sd card and all,reinstall the app2sd,then restore your nand.If your still having this problem,then its either an app thats installed or the rom.

The phone has a 1GB for the rom, 2GB Internal, and a 16GB SD.
I don't understand how to keep the 1GB partition from mysteriously filling up regardless of how much I delete.
I always though the apps were suppose to go to the 2GB internal phone partition but they are right along side the ROM, that confuses me. I wish there was a way to truly delete built in apps and not just "disable" them.
Do u use 4g? I heard of problems with it saving cache stuff then not clearing it out.

a factory reset will clear up internal memory on a lot of android devices. remember to back up first if you choose to factory reset it
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:
Hello everyone,
This is my very first time rooting my LG Optimus F6 phone by following GameTheory's tutorials, and unfortunately for me I ran into a problem when moving apps to my SD ext4 partition using Link2SD. Let me be more detailed as to what I did that got me into this mess... Once rooted and with Link2SD installed, I proceeded to creating the 2 usual partitions, FAT32 and ext4. My first mistake was that I created the partitions backwards (without realizing it), the one I wanted the biggest ended up being the smallest. After moving some apps to the SD I figured it would be a good idea to update them, so I did. After updating all the apps, I realized the partition sizes were wrong. Here's where I messed everything up... I decided to unlink all apps I linked (moved) to the SD so that I could reformat the SD to the proper partition sizes, but problem was that after the update it wouldn't let me break the link for some. Knowing this, I still went ahead and reformatted the SD card. This is when I realized some of those apps where part of the system and I needed to re-install them since I kept getting errors from various apps, mainly Google apps. My problem from that point on has been that Google Play Services got deleted from the system and I can't seem to get it to install, I keep getting an "insufficient storage available" error message when I try to download it. There's still 770MB of internal memory available (not SD partition). Can anyone help me get this resolved, please?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long explanation.
