Hi,
My phone says I still have 42MB free memory (378 used from 420).
But I am not able to install any more apps in that last 40MB. My phone acts like it is not there.
I have unlocked bl, alliance kernel, ultimate hd Rom.
move your system apps to sd card. free some internal memory

Yeah that happens when you update/install bigger apps.
Since (new) apps are installed/updated into data partition and original app (in case of update) remains in system partition, you have 2 "same" apps in 2 different places.
My advice, move apps from data/app to system/app and after that delete original apps in system/app.
Use inteks systemcleanup it's free and makes this an issue from the past.

Clear cache, it will definitely free some of the memory!
"Did I ever tell you the definition of Insanity"
I have link2sd for moving apps to 2nd sd partition and I cleaned cache. But I am wondering why I never was able to use that last 40 MB on my phone. It says it's free but I can't save any data there. I will look into those updated system apps.

I am using link2sd to manage this for me.
Updated system apps are marked green within link2sd. It offers an option to integrate the update into system. Click it, wait and problem solved.

On my rooted 2.1, after I un-installed those defaulted apps like Moxier, Wisepilot etc using Titanium backup, the internal phone storage space does not increased after that. Why? How do I release those occupied internal storage space? Thanks
i think they have different partitions,just only my 2 cents
anyone has rooted the X10 with 2.1 noticed the same? How do I release those internal space? Thanks
it is in fact seperate partitions, all those preinstalled apps you remove are in /system, the space value you look at is for /data, one way to save on data space is to push all your apps to /system, only pitfall you run into is that market will not be able to update them but... if you have a bunch of apps that never get updated, /system would be a great place for them to live. also, anything you put in /system can be themed easily, as signing is not required
Yeah.try check tge contain of memory card. I found too many xtra folder and full of cache files.

Thanks. So how do I move some of the apps to /system? Thanks
Did you check the (pre-root) "uninstall applications" section?
I noticed that theres the "play now" and such sitting in there are marked as taking up 0.0 but i removed those, and my space shot down....a lot actually...im sitting at 130 used now. Or am i just thinking the space is cleared now?

anyone please ? Thanks !!!
any expert out there who can help me? Thanks !!!
Perhaps you can use soft links, command "ln"

What I mean is that you move the apps, and create a soft link in the place where the app used to be that points to the new place.
I just tried to copy new maps.apk into my sys/apps and it tries then tells me there is not enough space! When I go into settings apps have 129mb free on internal but root explorer reading 5.45mb free in system!!
Is this something to do with custom kernel (ZombiePanic v1.63) or permissions
The internal memory is shared between storage and RAM, if you've got alot of programs/widgets loaded then it may not be free. Check 'running services' and it will tell you how much free memory is left.

Running services says have 35mb free?? Anyways thanks for the response obsidian_eclipse will just install maps another way
What app do you use to copy the file? Try a different/better one like Root Explorer.

use titanium backup to see free memory systems ROM, because here the application system. why not install it? because it will be installed in internal memory.

You are talking about two different things. Internal storage is in /data not in /system
Yea I just used marked enabler and installed maps via market, just going to ignore systems folder as its free space size does not change when I install or delete things from it... as long as standard installations work will be happy
When trying to update Titanium Backup through Play Store it fails telling me that theres no more space left. However 9 GB of internal and 3 GB of external SD card are still free. Other applications (even bigger ones) install fine. I cleared Dalvik cache but without success.
What causes this error and how to solve it?
Is your device GS3? 9GB of internal?
Is it important how did i send this?
Try to remove current TB & then install the newer version
Is it important how did i send this?
I uninstalled TB and now I can't install it again with the same error.
I still have 9 GB free on phone and 3 GB on microSD.

I experience the same. Hmm.
i had this problem yesterday when updated my firmware, most of my apps had to be reinstall. there is one app, UCCW, i had to reinstall through google play and it keeps telling me i have insufficient memory.
To fix this i had to uninstall, use root explorer find the folder of the app and deleted it if it still there and reinstall. viola it works.

I think i have posted a fix a lot of times for the same problem..see if this works for you.. open root explorer..it works only if you are rooted.. open data.. then open apps.. then try to find if there is any odex file related to titanium backup. It mite be named titanium keramidas.odex or something like that.. delete it.. then install titanium again..
Using Root Explorer, go to /data/app and delete the file named Titanium.odex
Now everything should work normally..

I got this problem when I used lucky patcher to patch the previous Titanium backup app and uninstalled it but xxx.odex still file left(may be name "com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex" . Use Root explorer then go to /data/app and find that file then delete it,I think you should install Titanium Backup again.

Helli friends, I am using titanium backup 6.0 2. I had create backup of all users apps but after I restore it after flashing new rom I noticed that it missed data folders of my big games like modern combat 4, gta vice city, ravensword. Games apps was asking me to re download data again which I bought from play store. I searched about this but found no solution. Had I made any mistake?
Sorry for my bad english.

Its normal, I guess titanium does not backup the data from the sd's games folder. Happens to me to, anyway you will be able to restore your safe games without problem.

You need t to copy the folder with games data file (the downloaded one) not sure if it is in that fleet you mentioned but you can try.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
every game has a different folder, and titanium is not supposed to back it up
But it should do bcoz it is difficult to backup separately data files of games agaun and again for flashing new roms

This is one of the things you will have to get used to when flashing roms. As Games keep their info all over the place and with each update the place it gets stored is not always the same. So no it is not supposed back those up.
The titanium backs up, but it just makes it interesting to know how and other parts, as can happen when the program or game update specify that part will not change. Sorry if my english sucks.
I tried too many times but answer is no. It only backup apk file of game not data and it is difficult to re download 1.5 to 2gb data again.i think clockwork recovery can do it but not sure. I will try it and if I get success I will post here.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
no, recovery doesn't backup sdcard contents either
Ok it means there is only a way that we should copy data folder from /sdcard/android. But it is strange that when we uninstall the game it removes the data folder( even it is 1.5 gb) with apk. I hope titanium dev add this feature in next update.

they won't
I use directory bind to put my games /android/data/game.name/... (NOT ALL /data/ I actually list the games themselves) /android/obb.... /gameloft... folders on the extsdcard from the internal memory's sdcard. I can then backup using Titanium Backup (calling it TT from now) the games' "app and data" then I do the following:
I can flash a new rom,
login to play store/google
restore Directory bind, and enable its binds
install app ONLY using TT
run app and let it check for d/l's (NONE)
in TT kill app, clear data then restore data.
This process works on all my "big" games asphalt 6/7 dark knight GTA:3 dead space etc etc
o and FYI TT already has the feature to backup the external data, but i think its disabled by default (or on a low setting) Its called "backup app external data" in preferances and also the one below sets the size. I have it backup external data if its less than 32mb. presumably you could set to to always and it'd do it, or you could setup a label for your "big" games and have it done like that. I will however say i have not used this feature for backing the games sdcard data, I use the first method.
Thanks for reply. I think it is amazing solution to backup big games data without hassle. I will try it. However I am using link 2 sd in s3 i9300. It works but not for big games data. I have a question that will directory bind work in galaxy s3 bcoz it has no support for move 2 sd.

Firstly Directory Bind (DB) isnt perfect. It can crash and cause the game to crash. However that said I completed maxpayne for example on my phone without a single crash. Second DB doesn't work on 4.2 ROMs apparently (not bothered to test that as im still on 4.1 for now)
Now the thing to remember is that, I HAVE MANUALLY COPIED THE GAME FILES FROM THE INTERNAL TO THE EXTERNAL! I let each app install onto the internal (months and months ago) then moved the files myself to the extsdcard as DB's copy feature is unreliable to say the least. Once the binds are setup, you never need to move anything again, as all NEW data will be sent to the extsdcard.
ALSO if you are using link to sd, doesn't that mean you internal sdcard is ALREADY directed to the extsdcard? so DB would be useless?
In Titanium Backup, Go to Preferences>Backup app External data (It's under Backup Settings) and set it to Enabled(Always)
In my case, this method saved everything needed from the Android/data folder but it did not save the Android/obb folder.
EA Real Racing 3. After backing up and restoring into a new ROM, the game worked flawlessly, my progress was saved and I didn't have to download everything inside the game again. App size was 1.34 GB. While the archive size was around 850MB in the TitaniumBackup folder. But it was probably compressed, and restored everything.
I think this just saves the Android/data folder, it did not save the Whatsapp Media. Thankfully, I had backed up the Whatsapp folder just in case, and i just pasted it back into the Internal SD Storage.
I had even formatted my InternalSD(it was getting too cluttered) while flashing the new ROM. On the previous ROM I was at around 1 GB free... and after the restore in the new ROM and copying of the folders back to Internal I had some 5 GB free. I obviously lost some data, probably from the Android/obb(My guess, around 1 GB game data), but the rest was probably junk that needed cleaning up anyways, since I was back to how it was in the previous ROM.
So, to summarize, while jumping from ROM to ROM doing Full Wipes(or even Format Internal SD), while making your backup you should backup all external data via Titanium, and then copy relevant folders outside the Android/data folder to your backup location and just paste them back after you've restored from Titanium.
Hope this helps.
Oh, by the way, don't be noob enough to not change the TitaniumBackup folder to your external before starting anything.
Titanium backup data take more space than other.
Sorry if repost, I often find the storage of my phone totally full and tonight I found out it does not delete files but it just puts them into the trash bin. How to empty it quickly?
Use the "Clean junk" function in the Phone Manager app, maybe?

No the clean junk removes only the cache, I found out that for some reasons my device created a folder .trash-1000 like a Linux system where it stored all things I deleted and the only way to access that folder is a file Explorer like root browser.
I attached another one that was created for the gallery

I'm stock and right now I've got like 15 GB of free storage, but with clean system(and Chinese and leeco app installed) it should be around 19/20 I think.
Anyway I found the problem, stock gallery has a recycle bin, accessible from gallery>my>recycle bin where deleted files are kept for 30 days. Check that as well if you have leeco gallery, you might find big surprises

hi i had same problem as you almost 15 gb free space lost. So for removing trash install and use app SD Maid
Run app inside menu of application find storage analyzer then open your primary partition you can see location named storage trash go indide and delete everything.. you need to check that location once per week.. good luck
