I have 500 Mb of free space on internal storage and when install or update any app sent me a error notification of low memory internal storage.
I try to wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflashing the rom but don't work.
Help me please!
Thanks

Get rid of some huge apps or files (movies, audio, ...) on the internal storage.
Alternatively move them to the external SD card.

Samsung or Google in their wisdom have decided to not allow Google Play apps to be moved to the micro-SD card.

I was talking about movies/music since (at least for me) that's what eats up all the disk capacity =)
If you're rooted you can bypass the App2Sd restriction by using the app "Directory Bind"
By the way; App2SD was implemented to be able to move apps from the app-specific storage (/data/) to the internal storage (/sdcard) since the first one was far smaller. Since the S3 shares the SDcard-Storage with the app-storage capacity, it's no longer needed. Or so they thought.

Forgive me. When you wrote, "huge apps or files (movies, audio, ...) " and wrote move "them", I had incorrectly assumed you meant move "huge apps or files (movies, audio, ...) " to the SD card
if you rooted, install lucky patcher (google it), then run it. it will automatically delete unused odex file in our system.
Hello. I've been having a problem with my SGS2 i777. (СM 10.1 NIGHTLY 2013/02/07)
My phone mount external SD Card (32gb), but does not use a memory card. I can't unmount SD Card, because unmount button is not active (See screenshot), and I can't move programs to the SD Card using the app2sd. (Sorry for my english, I have a basic level.)
Please help.
You might try formatting the SD card in your PC. I had a similar problem back when I first rooted my phone and that worked for me.

Then you should be able to use it properly with move to SD option in the Applications Setting. If that is what you are trying to do.

I'm trying move apps to SD, but it doesn't work. Memory is not simply used. On the memory card created in the folder LOST.DIR.
But my internal SD Card filled, if I move app to SD.

Are you trying to use that Apps2SD? I don't recommend it. Just go to Setting >> Applications and move the apps from there.

Hi,
I have a rooted/Jailbreaked Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i in which I have literally linked all my installed apps to SD. The available internal memory became around 130 MB now. While I install Skype & Instagram, even after linking these apps to SD card, the size of the internal memory decreased and the available free IM is 112 MB. I checked the SDcard EXT2 folder through RootExplorer and all linked apps are present there. But while I check the Root directory- Data/app, I see the same app present there.
Now can anyone please explain, why on earth these apps are present in two locations? Is that the reason my internal space is utilized and reduced?
Every time I install a new app, Link2sd automatically link the apk to SD card. But at the same time, my internal memory is reduced. Am I missing something here ?
Please Help !!
What you did was just linking them, but not moving entire app to your sdcard. I couldn't give you further explanation due to lack of android knowledge. Actually you can move your entire app to sdcard with link2sd but I find some of them unstable after moving.

Applications' data isn't linked, that's what taking up space.
You can move all the apps to micro SD using link2SD that'll increase your internal memory, but you can't create any link of apps to SD which are already installed in SD card. If you do, the apps will automatically be moved to internal & then they'll link to SD. In that case some apps takes more internal memory. Maybe that's what causing your problem.
So, I'll suggest you to move the apps to SD card one by one & if one can't be moved then link it to SD card, disable auto link to SD & select install location to SD card.

That's wrong, they're moved to internal storage then linked automatically.
The storage info might take a while to update, though.

I did a factory reset, installed Link2sd to check available memory. It showed IM used as 30 MB. I moved Google Play to SD card, IM now used is 20 MB.
So, as u said, I installed new app to SD by default. Simultaneously, my IM is also reduced. By the time I installed almost all my required apps to SD, IM used became near to 50 MB.
I am totally confused. Is Link2SD meant for this ?
guys u r wrong!
just link the app you want, doesn't matter if its installed in internal or in the SD card,
if you find that the free internal space decreased instead of increasing (and that happens a lot with Link2SD), just reboot your phone, and you will find that it have been fixed.
-dun forget to press tnx if I helped -
Even if you move the apps 2 sd some of the apps data will stay on internal & that will decrees your internal slowly.
Ok... Let me give you guys some practical example ( try them on your devices )
1. UC browser :
» linked 2 sd - takes 10.08 mb of internal
» moved 2 sd - takes 4.19 mb of internal
2. XDA Official app :
» linked 2 sd - 4.70 mb of internal
» moved 2 sd - 1.57mb of internal

Finally, I linked all my apks' to SD and now, I got 150 MB IM free. It is reducing slowly when I use Instagram n Skype. Once I close those, I manually go to Link2sd and clear the cache. It brings back the free IM.
Somehow, it is fixed, atleast for now. My phone now runs smooth...

Congratulations
The cache is usually cleared when needed tho, so you don't have to keep doing that. If it's not, there are many apps that take care of automatically clearing the cache every now and then. Otherwise you could write a little script and have it run at startup.

Hi there, I am in a problem, please help !
I use a samsung galaxy ace s5830i phone, and I have recently rooted it. I had no idea what a root is though. I did it to increase my phone's memory for installing apps which my phone has a very low internal memory. After I rooted the phone, I installed link2sd app as one of my friend suggested me to. . So, after this I opened the app and tried moving the apps to the sd card, yes it moves them, not a big deal, I thought but I went back to check the phone's free internal memory, it still is the same, and the link2sd says I need a second partition to link the app to sd card, what is this? I have no idea how to make a partition of sd. And I still have a question, even if I did partition, will it free my internal memory?

Here is the guide on how to setup Link2SD,
[Guide] partition and link2sd [pictures included for each step]
With Link2SD, you can link the app and its data to ext partition of the SD Card. You will still have few link on the internal memory which takes up some space but the rest is moved to ext partition of SD Card. While using Link2SD, if you want to check your storage, just use Link2SD>Storage Info. If you go to Settings> Storage of your phone, it will just show you the usual memory. Hope I Helped

Hi, I am using a rooted Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i with Jellyblast Rom. I have linked all my apps to sd card after moving them to the 2nd partition of my sd card as well.
I also linked the application data, expecting to free up my internal storage.
This significantly reduced the memory usage, but not completely.
For example, my whatsapp earlier consuming 30mb now consumes only 10 mb of internal.
But why that 10 also, when it should not be using up any of the internal storags? What's wrong here?
Just Simple!!!

i, my current internal storage is almost full (80%) and that has made my phone quite slow. I dont have anything major in internal storage except the apps and whatsapp data. All pictures and music are on the 8gb memory card. I was wondering if i could transfer all my apps to the memory card. Is it possible to do that and install new apps on memory card rather than internal storage?

There's absolutely no problem with pushing apps to the SD card. Open Settings -> Apps -> Choose the App you want to push to SD card -> storage -> change. With this process you can nearly move all of your Apps to the SD card. This will free up your space ^^

This is because some of the apps are pre-installed like Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Clean Master... for these you won't be able to see the "Change Storage", in this case you can uninstall the pre-installed Apps and re-install it. But make sure your default Storage location is selected as "SD Card" instead of "Internal Storage".
For the rest of the Apps you can change the Storage... I have also done the same with many apps and freed up almost 2 GB of Space.
I hope it will be helpful to you.

i dont think emui will allow you to change app download storage to sd card, you have to root and be running on a custom rom (based on stock android, may be.) to easily move apps to sdcard, .
or you can manage the sapce by clearing app datas for not so important apps, clearing junk files, move all your media to sdcard , thats the best option..

Yes most of the apps but not all. Some modules in EdXposed will not work so you have to move them to the real internal memory.
How did you set this up? Is there a particular ROM or was this installed later? Did you use a tool to set the partition? Perhaps a link to docs and downloads would help if you have them.
