Hello.
I have a rooted Motorola XT303 (Motosmart ME) with stock ROM (I think it doesn't have a custom rom yet... I think...), i'm using Link2sd to free some space.
Yesterday when I wanted to download Line it said something like "Not enough Space" and today trying again says "...Error 498".
Then i noticed that the /cache partition is almost full (10mb free or so). I tried everything I know to free that space, like 4 Market Apps (Cache cleaners and 'fixers'), Recovery factory wipe and Cache wipe and nothing...
Is there anyway to fix this?
Thank you for your help, bye!
Hi keishi16, I'm an owner of a XT303...
I recommend that you partition your SD card. With Link2SD application do the links to the partition (currently I have it in FAT32 format). Not simply move them "natively" to SD, because the libraries and other files are stored internally. We also recommend that when you make these links do quick reboot with Link2SD. For some reason the internal memory is "full" when you make the links, but returns to normal when you reboot. I hope that helped you, greetings!

Ok, I know this has been asked many times in various different formats but I am writing this because I haven't found a definitive answer.
I am using MCR 3.0. My SD card is partitioned correctly. I have 18 apps installed which has left me with 105mb available on internal storage.
From what I have read, people that say APPS2SD work, have 100's of apps installed and are sitting on about 120mb available on internal.
So, I can only assume that APPS2SD isn't doing what it's supposed to.
So my question is, is having 105mb free on internal with 18 apps installed normal?
Can someone please confirm the correct order to do things. Lets assume I am rooted and have recovery and just bought a new SD card and I want to install MCR 3.0. What is the order to do things? Partition card 1st? Install MCR 1st? Wipe (What wipe)?
Thanks in advance
I have 85mb of internal left with apps2sd. I think each program must put something onto the internal memory as. I maybe wrong, but what other explanation is there?
Bear in mind though that peep, google maps, browser, email all use space with their cache. Try clearing them all see if you regain any more memory..
P.S i have about 140 apps installed.
At one point I had 507 apps installed on my phone with 35Mb free.........
I have since cleared it down and now have 74 installed with 85Mb free. So yes, it seems there are still SOME files that are loaded to the phone.

Mmm yes thats what i thought too...
So it would seem I'm ok with only 18 apps installed and 105mb free? I don't have google maps or any really big apps installed so I still think that I should have more free space on internal.
It kind of sucks a bit if apps2sd still stores info on internal memory. My last phone was a diamond and it was simple, you had the choice of where you wanted to install apps (internal or sd), would be handy with the hero.
I have about 110 apps installed and 35mb free. I see no problem with my Hero yet, maybe I'm just lucky!?
But, as a customer I'd like to see a phone were I take the SIM and memory card with me to a new phone and nothing changes. I mean iPhone comes close to this with OTA updates, but SERIOUSLY, this is how Linux is supposed to work, right!? Your home directory is where ever you wan't it to be and whatever happens to the system is irrelevant. So I wonder what Google did to complete **** UP with this idea in Android
Come on.. all I wan't is to take my SIM and memory card to a new phone and everything should be just like in the old phone!! Technically this is trivial!
whenever a application is installed, it will generate a .dex in /data/dalvik-cache ,
and lib, user preference etc. into /data/data,
also, google map, market etc. those stuff store cache in /data partition,
so storage size decrease as applications are installed to sd is just a normal habit.!
You may move data/data to ext3 /4 partition as well as dalvik cache by symlink
but not suggested, it would just make the phone running slower.

Ok, I'm guessing data/data and dalvick cache is read only. So could you explain exactly how to move these folders over to ext3 and to symlink dalvick cache? Would like to try this to see how it runs, I can always do a restore if it's no good.
What's the problem? I have almost all the memory i need...
under Settings> Storage
I have 8.11Gb on SD card
1.53GB on internal storage
1.68GB on additional storage: /mnt/emmc (idk what this is im guessing... applications???)
So.. everytime i try to download a app from the market, it comes up with
"error downloading ________ insufficient space on the device!"
What would i need to do to fix this?
Before someone says it, yes I did search.
more than HALF of the problems i searched was talking about not enough space on /system
I dont think thats my problem...
The other solution i found was to ODIN and check repartition, which i ALWAYS, ALWAYS do.
Would i HAVE to odin? I really don't like odin now-a-days its a pain.
so what would I need to do to fix this?
bumpppppppppppppppppppppp
Is it CM? If so reflash gapps or CM7 itself.
If you're using the new Market, then you will need to delete unused files from /cache using a shell. For some reason the new Market uses /cache to cache apps it downloads/installs. If you install a big one, there's not enough space free to cache another app.
Edit: /mnt/emmc is your external SD card.

Yes!
This started as soon as I got new market. Guess I'll go back to old one...
Went to old and everything works...
How would I be able to use new market without rights problem, I didn't have this problem before...
someone please help me, its still happening on the old market now
in cwm, wipe your cache partition. see if that helps.
also, self troubleshooting doesn't hurth wither

wiped the cache partition, still not fixed...
Self troubleshooting? I've tried EVERYTHING lol, i'm going to ODIN back right now and flash CM7 again *sigh*
I've been having the same issues with my phone. I've been having a lot of issues with my Vibrant actually, I wish I would have just kept my G2.. Anyway, did starting fresh fix your problem? Wiping the cache worked for me but this is from a fresh install as well. Hopefully this isn't just a temporary fix though.. I never had issues like this on my G2, must have had a larger cache partition.
Your like the 3rd person in which I had to tell them wwhat to do, but anyway, I used to have this problem. All you need to do is clear market cache, if that doesn't work, backup and then reformat your internal and external SD cards, that is what actually did the trick for me.
After you reformat, it should work, if I doesn't, reflash, then it should.

So far clearing cache in cwm worked fine, I think the issue had something to do with the google application auto-installer because I had that problem twice and both times it happened when I used that google app installer bs.
Hello!
I've just rooted Viewpad 7 and installed EUViewpad7 v1.7b firmware.
In Quick System Info app it says I have only 4 kb free "system storage" left.
I'd like to try to increase internal storage size, perhaps at expense of some internal storage or somesuch (since apps run from SD thanks to apps2sd)
And yes, the ROM already has apps2sd, so I don't think I can move any more stuff to SD without breaking everything...
Is increasing "system storage" possible ?
1. Link2sd way
- Rooted
- Partition EXT3 or 4 in your micro-sd, size whatever u want (1024 mb recommend).
- Open Link2sd's app select ext3 or 4.
- Reboot
2. a2sd way
- Rooted
- Install CMW.
- Partition EXT3 or 4 in your micro-sd, size whatever u want (1024 mb recommend).
- Install a2sd from recovery mode.
- Install a2sd gui from Google play.
- move data from app or in terminal [type su>enter>type a2sd datasd>enter>auto reboot]
3. Google move to sd-card, apps2sd or app way
- Install app that the name say move to sd or something.
- Not help.
And like other developer alway said, Do it with your own risk.
Sorry for my weak english.
I think a2sd is already installed and all the apps that can be moved to SD are on SD already (a2sd comes with EUViewpad7 v1.7b by default, and I did create all the partitions and stuff on SD. Also, terminal emulator -> a2sd check says that I have apps and dalvik cache running from SD)
So. moving apps 2 sd is unlikely to yield much relief since they all are already there
Any other ideas on getting more "system storage" ?
If your a2sd run perfect, your rom space will not decreate even if u install a lot of app.

Yeah.
Though I would still rather have it larger, you know, just in case (also curious about it on general principle of finding out new stuff)

+++1 on that, many others have successfully used A2SD on the EU v1.7b ITE ROM like myself, it's been documented in extensive details in the custom Rom's thread, please re-read and follow the steps outlined, and, backup anything & everything important on the mSD card first.
I'm guessing that the mSD card wasn't fully reformatted and setup properly.
Quick key steps: make sure you do a full dalvik, cache & system wipe first (after backing up via CWM 2.x - recommended verison over 4.x or newer 5.x) and format ext3/4 with 1MB space, move/copy ZIP file back to ROM and select it to flash/install, continue with full setup, power down & restart.
You will need to re-install Titanium Backup & A2SDGUI from Market (it's now Google Play, once your account is setup/restored) and check your memory/storage with A2SDGUI, it should show plenty of available/free space for internal, system/rom and SD/ext card usage.
If not, re-check your steps and repeat it for proper installation. If it's working, A2SD will dynamically move & free up plenty of space for Apps, I have over 50 (market) apps of them in addition to the default/custom Rom's Apps, and 2 verisons (soon to be 3) of Angry Birds running on it.
A 8GB mSD is the minimum that I would use, a 16GB mSD is better with all the CWM files that you will store on it, plus MP3 and videos, etc.
FYI - mine device's readings are:
Internal memory free (total) 93MB (171MB)
SD-Ext free (total) 555MB (914MB)
/cache/free (total) 86MB (88MB)
Ram free (total) 226MB (415MB)
A corrupt installation will not display all of the above. I have yet to come across after trying other App2SD apps out in the "Market" that work and can free up so much "extra" for the Vpad7 ... YMMV
Good luck & if you are not sure, please post your results/space as shown under A2SD as written by DT.
Link of my space and u will see how much free of my viewpad7. And the most important is no app on m-sd. It's all in ext3.

Hello,
i have a "insufficient space" error when trying to install any app. It doesn't matter if I try the Play Store or a downloaded .apk. The size doesn't matter, too.
There is definitely space left on the device. /data has 715.9 MB free space /mnt/fuse and other system partitions have 401.7 MB and the two SD partitions have 7.0 GB and 8.8 GB. I use Link2SD to install apps to the second SD partition.
I tried a lot of things and searched through a lot of threads but nothing worked so far:
-Cleared cache of everything with Link2SD
-Cleared calvik cache with Link2SD
-Wiped cache partition via recovery.
-Searches for old .obex files but even if I try to install a totally new app it fails with the same error.
I can't install new tools but I have Lin2SD, a filebrowser and a terminal emulator.
The device is a GT-S7710 also known as Samsung XCover 2. The ROM is Vanir 4.4.4.112414
EDIT: Ok now I have SD Maid, too. And strangely I can install some new apps but not all and I still can't update old apps. I'm trying to figure out, there the differences in the apps is.
Can anyone help me with a hint or idea what the problem could be?
If you need further informations, please ask and I will try to get them.
Kind regards,
Ulrich
SOLUTION:
OK, I found a solution. The difference between installable and uninstallable apps seemes to be the support of the native App2SD function. If I deactivate it through Link2SD and only use the rebinding of the files by Link2SD all apps are installable again. I don't know why it matters now. I didn't change the settings for a long time.
A hint to that solution was a post in an other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59278026&postcount=2. Strange that I didn't find it earlier with google/duckduckgo/forum search.
Hi all, i've a phone samsung j2 prime - G532g
android version 6.0.1
kernel 3.18.19-9387420
I had just rooted this phone, and then I install link2sd, tried to mount the script, but "mount error: no such a file or directory"
but, i've solved that problem with editing init.d script and mount the script using apps2sd: root.
So now, I install link2sd again. I format sdcard into fat32 (20 gb) and ext2 (11gb). Everything goes okay, until I realize that the internal storage only 1,5 gb. Even link2sd (free version) still leave internal data on internal storage. So that, I buy link2sd pro version, in order I can link internal data.
But, after I link internal data, every apps (that internal data linked) get crashed with message "Unfortunately, <app name> has stopped” with the choice are "report" and "ok". Apps that only linked with apk, dex, and lib, are still okay.
Does anybody know why this can happen? Any marshmallows user has experience like me?
Its not the first time I use link2sd, everything did well when I tried to my another phone with a lower android version (4.4)
Hope someone can solve my problem.
Sorry for my bad english
Thanks
