[Solved] s2 4.1.2 LS8 Gallery : Not enough space. Delete some - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry to start a new thread but im not able to find a single topic that relates to the numerous issues im facing.
1. Screenshots : Cant caoture sceenshots, storage may be in use ( guess its the media scanner, anything that i can do ? )
2. if i delete any file with Astro/ES explorer in /sdcard0/DCIM folder : it says deleted, however the files remain there. However, mounting as R/W in root explorer i am able to. Can anyone tell me why my /sdcard0 has suddenly become read only ? it used to be fine in GB/ICS.? is there anyway i can change permissions of this folder to R/W permenantly.
3. i dont want to discuss on battery and overheating as i am following other threads. so leave this.
4. unable to save any songs on /sdcard0/music : I/O error, no space.
5. When i run disc utility like diskusage it shows i have 8.7 GB free..When i goto Settings>Storage it shows total space : 11.5 GB, Free space 8.7 GB and Application 9.2 GB. How is that possible? what should i do ?
6. Gallery : tells me to free up space by deleting something. I have no pcitures no videos in sdcard. don't understand.
7. Camera : not taking pictures. like above, it says no space.
i would have posted screenshots, but like i said it wont take.
Background :
Running official stock 4.1.2 Spain LS8
Flashed earlier viz. odin with philz.( before flashing had done complete wip before and after, had followed all forum advice) later,
Changed to siyah kernel 6.0b . Happy until i saw the issues above.
if you can help me with even 1 question, it will help me a lot

Storage is not an issue.
device memory 760 mb free/1.97gb
Internal/usbstorage : 9.17gb free/ 11.5gb
SD card 35.21 gb free/59.36 gb
tried accessing gallery after removing sdcard - no use
tried deleting viz. ES explorer, no use... clicked on internal storage properties to find out that it is only read only (and permissions change is not allowed)
While trying to make it RW, came across this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35801231
it made internal storage RW but after 10 mins it again reverted to read only.
tried to fix permission through CWM but no use.
i guess i need to make it RW permenantly.. but just dont know how.
Until then my gallery wont open, screenshots wont work.
yes also, sometimes accidently when "process.media.android" is not active, im able to access gallery.
howver, when media is working, and i do "force stop", gallery still does not respond.
Any help wouldbe appreciated.

Thanks, here is what is did.
Backedup viz. titanium and nandroid, stored it on my computer.
Wiped data
Wiper cache
Wiped davlik
Wiped battery stats
Formatted internal storage
Formateed external storage
Did the above 2 times.
Flashed JB viz. odin
got stuck on Samsung logo, went to recovery and
again wiped data and cache
Rebooted and logged in.
First thing i see ...
Gallery app still says Not enough Space. delete unwanted item blah blah
Screenshot: Couldnt save screenshots. Storage may be in use.
Pl tell if i did somethng wrong, or maybe the ROM i downloaded is buggy.
Can someone give me a link, which they have used ..i will do it again.
By the way when i goto storage it shows the following :
device memory : 1.77GB/1.97GB available
USB storage : 11.4 GB/11.5 GB available ..(some miscellanous files : 70 MB)
SD card : 59.36/59.36gb available
thanks a lot.

should i flash 4.0.3/4.0.4 to confirm if SDCARD has errors or no need?
because i never had any issues in GB and evenduring migration from GB to ICS.
First time.

On some phones format does not format Your storage, bug i think, and maybe you use Lucky patcher and you have huge files there.

is there anyway to format, so that nothing is left behind?
any command in terminal or any link you can give which can ensure that format is complete.

[Q] Paranoidandroid problems

So, I've switched to Paranoidandroid from CheckROM, which means that I've done rerooting and installing of ICS via ODIN. Afterwards, I've installed Paranoidandroid ROM v0.6 and HYBRID Gapps and done the rest of the instructions.
I don't know if I've done something wrong in the process (or I'm just a noob), but after few minutes of working and figuring things out, the screen just goes off and animations comes up (I think it's looping) that is similar to boot animation (but it's not bootloop since I was already at the homescreen).
So is there any way to disable/fix that?
I also have problems with connecting to WiFi (gets stuck at Obtaining IP Address) and my wallpaper also went missing and I couldn't set a new one.
Oh yea, I also couldn't find External SD files in Gallery? I seen it's in some folder emmt or something like that, but why it isn't placed in it's default /mnt/sdcard/ext_sdcard/?
Thank you!
P.S.
Oh yeah, sorry for an inappropriate use of grammar, hope you will understand what I meant to say
EDIT:
I also cannot reboot or power off my mobile phone, only if I take out the battery -.-
Full wipe and re flash fails then re download the firmware and re falsh .
jje
I've already tried wipe data/factory reset and reinstall Parandroid ROM + HYBRID Gapps. Or you meant that I should flash ICS Stock again and then flash Parandroid?
EDIT:
I'm flashing Firmware atm (Nordic Countries one). So I should add CF Root afterwards and then reflash Parandroid and it's stuff?
Tried it, I still get that animation loop after few minutes of usage =/!
(Had to post here since I can't post it at Development)
Did you try redownloading the rom, if not then redownload paranoid rom and then reflash it.
Re download, do the corresponding wipes, re flash, fix permissions just in case.,.
Should work
Thank you on your responses, I will try it asap and provide further info about it.
EDIT:
Redownload and reflash didn't work out =/!
this called hot reboot, I guess you need to format your internal sd card, use odin to flash the stock firmware, then flash the rom you like. And by the way, your external sd card is located in emmc, you can use an app called directory bind to bind emmc as external sd card, search the forum , you can find the instruction to use the app.

"Insufficient memory..." issue!

Hey guys!
I get this "insufficient memory" issue every time I try to install poweramp from play store and it's becoming really annoying. And regardless how many time I wipe cache or free up memory I still get this message. And what makes me more angry about this issue is the fact that I have 1.49 gb free phone memory, 3.24 gb free internal mem., and 2.96 free external mem.
Plz help....
I'm using ics paranoid android rom if this would help...

"go into either the /system/app/ or /data/app/ directory and delete the odex file that has the same name as the poweramp.apk" if this helps say thanks to MyLifeRocks10 as he posted this first

I have had the same problem for weeks and tried all the suggestions I could find on the Internet, nothing worked. Then I found a posting explaining that a possibility would be to move the default installation location to the sdcard. So I used the terminal emulator (rooted phone), to check the current setting first. It was already redirected to external memory, so I tried to change it back to internal memory (Command: "pm set-install-location 1"), which solved the problem!!!! I now can install in internal memory, using link2sd I keep the internal usage to minimal, problems solved! :good:
Hope this helps,

[Q] extsd2internalsd setup problems

Model: GT-i9300
Android Version: 4.1.1
Baseband Version: I9300XXDLIB
Kernal Version: 3.0.31-204919
Build number: v27 - XXDLIB
Network Operator: O2 (uk)
SD Card: 64GB
Formatted: Exfat
Having spent weeks trying to get this to work on my phone I hit gold - 1st installing Omega v27, downloading modexfat version via kitchen v1.01, then running via ROM manager premium v5.0.2.1. So really happy with the increased onboard capacity.
My problem now is that I am unable to keep the mod when installing the updated kernal from Siyah-s3-v1.6.5-CWM. Everything I try results in both phone & card storage showing the same capacity.. (the same problem I had prior to the successful install mentioned above). I really just dont understand what I'm doing wrong here. Sooo frustrating.
Side note: On top of the above frustration, prior to attempting the mod I back up the phone, but then when I try to reinstall my settings / apps etc etc Gobackup does not recognise the backup which was made (sorry if this comment should have been in a seperate post?).
Can anybody give me a noob guide, step by step walk through to solving my problem/s.
Ps.As my 1st post please don't flame me too hard for any breach of forum etticate or for being the total noob which I am in the world of Android..!
Note: Before braving this post I have spent the past 4-5 weeks reading through the various forum posts concerning this subject (not too mention the countless hours trying the various suggested solutions / walk throughs)....
Thanks for your attention.
Ray
You use the non stock one. That, that says just exfat.
Use a root exoplorer. Go to etc/init.d mount R/W delete the mod script.
Boot into recovery, flash siyah snd then imediatly flasth the custom ketnel mod. Reboot

[Q] Problems after Jelly Bean!!

Hi everyone this is my first post here so be kind.
I updates to Jelly Bean a while ago and am experiencing some niggles, not sure if they are all JB related or not so I thought I'd ask the experts.
1. No Flash - I understand Flash isn't supported after 4.0.4. If this is the case I may just reflash back to it or is there another way? I have already installed flash from third party but it still doesn't work.
2. Before JB I could put any video file type and it would work without converting etc But not anymore on some work, is this because of JB?
3. I tried to install the Dark Knight game the other day from the official game site (they had an offer, game was 99p). I couldnt even install the .apk It said there wasn't enough room to download the file (just the .apk), even though I had 8gig free on SD and 30gig on external SD. Whats the problem there?
4, Yesterday Handcent messneger wouldn't update, it said there wasn't enough room but there is over 8gig free o the SD, I dont understand, why??
5. is there a way to install the game data files to external SD, the 1gig - 2gig files?
My phone is rooted and I have the official JB installed too, Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
PS. I used to love my SGS3 but its pissing me off now. Ive just manually added up all the MB's my apps are taking up. I totted it up to 389MB, even though task manager says 869MB/11.35GB. And now I cant install anything from google play, I just get the message 'insufficient space'. How can this be?? (I have checked there is nothing in any of the other files on the internal SD)
Full wipe id say

go settings about phone- post your rom version. The link you posted is incomplete it does not tell me what rom you posted.
I know it most be a custom rom as you had pit enabled.
Most roms do not use pit, therefore you may have to reflash the rom again to regain the missing apk or find someone who has your rom and ask them to get you a copy of the missing files.

Since you have done wipe data, you have lost all your pictures and music, any thing saved on the internal sdcard is gone. You need to reload your pictures and music if you made a back up.
Next time save them to your external sdcard so they will be there after a wipe.
