Hi All,
my issue is related to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44940570#post44940570 but i guess the thread is dead now.
The problem is when i access my gallery it closes and gives me a message that says, "Not enough space, please delete uneccessary items...bla bla."
the solution i used to fix this is to uninstall instagram and reboot my phone. but when i try reinstalling instagram again, the issue comes back.
anyone who has a better fix rather than uninstalling instagram?
BTW, im sure all my storage still has plenty of free space on them. so it is impossible that storage is really the problem.

Don't know about gallery problem, but if you have root you can go to /data/app folder and look for an .odex file (for instagram) and delete it. Reboot now and it should work to install instagram

Then go to CWM wipe data and reboot.
BACKUP BEFORE
Wipe data will deletre all apps, so you should back them up.
There's no need for that. Flash the script from this thread, it should solve your problem without wiping any app or data:

Quite weird. Maybe you should try a full wipe then.. Or flash the script another time, because that worked for me sometimes. Another (temporary) sollution is to download another gallery fron the Play Store.
an update, i wiped my phone and still the issue is there.
i cannot also take photos now, when i try to capture a photo it is not saving on either phone or sd card.
Same problem with me, my solution is open root explorer then go to sd card then change mount r/o to r/w. but it is just temporary solution
i dont know how to fix it rightly.
I had the same problem before.its because corrupted folders. .try read this..and followed the guide

I got the Insufficient Storage Available error when I install new apps from Google Play, I can't even install apk, so I think this is not Google Play problem. I have plenty of space life. Running the latest AOKP. Anyone having this problem?
I'm guessing this didn't work?
Try this.
It also happens when you have the app still in the data/apps folder yet it's already uninstalled. Go to your data/apps folder with Root Explorer and check if the .apk is still there. If it is, delete it.

Thanks for your advice, I used mini tool partition from my computer, but when I checked in my phone's storage, still wasn't shown the ext4 partition that i did with minitool, so just tried with cwm partition (1GB Ext and 0MP swap) and it worked! But before I try this one I downloaded link2sd from play store! That's it! Now my internal memory is 0.94GB, wow...before it was only 120MP!

The app didn't work. It runs ok, but has no effect in solving this issue... at least on my case: Galaxy S2 running Cyanogen 9 final release. I also had this issue from time to time with the RC1 of CM9, but it always disappeared without me doing nothing (the problem only happened back then when updating apps from Google Play).

This tip solved the problem. Thanks very much.
Meanwhile, just my 50 cents, I think this problem is related with the Lucky Patcher... Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe not..,

It happens when you have *.odex files left in /data/app
look there and delete it reboot you are done
are you using lucky patcher?...sometime I have the same problem and I resolve it starting this app
@OP, this method should work for you.

the .odex files will be there in Data/apps ma8 check for the same
Odex file could be in the /system/app/ too.

Yes, .odex files could be in either /data/app or /system/app, but I would NOT recommend deleting any .odex files from /system/app. That will break the system application, and won't solve the problem.
The "insufficient storage available" message stems from the system thinking the DATA partition is full. Has nothing to do with /system/app, which is on the system partition.
I had this issue before, and had ZERO .odex files in my /data/app folder. I solved it by clearing data on Google Services Framework, and rebooting.

Try also don't work
If search the internet you will find hundreds of posts linked to this issue of "Insufficient Space" on the Galaxy SII and other Samsung phones. The rather poorly explained "solutions" above do NOT solve the problem. Neither does typing *#9900# and clearing the "dumpstate/logcat". It sometimes clears the error for a short time (like one app update) but usually does not. Clearing the Dalvic Cache did not help either. Nor did manually deleting all log files from /device/data/log/. I have tried a few apps that claim to clear all unnecessary log files and clear the cache. None worked.
So there is obviously a larger problem here!
As many others have posted all over the internet, the Internal Storage (device memory) has plenty of space available. In my case there is 225MB available and yet I am unable to download and install an app of just a few MB. I am unable to update apps that are already installed. I also have over 8GB available on the phone's SD card.
So if anybody really knows the solution to this issue then I (and hundreds others) would be delighted to hear from you.
Many thanks!
All,
I am really struggling to help my mate. I rooted his s2 and installed super nexus 4.2.2 on it a few weeks ago. Installation went fine and it works no problem but he kept getting insufficient storage space issues. I went into recovery mode and wiped the cache through there still no joy. I've searched for the wifi log file using root explorer no joy there. We have resorted to moving most of the apps to sd card and still getting issues. The thing that is frustrating me is that the storage available is nearly 16gb on the internal sd. Is there any way to edit the android system partition size as I think this would solve it?
Regards
Grant
have you tried a factory reset it may work
do you get this error while downloading apps from google play?
Yes, it started when the apps try to update. Already done a factory reset and doesn't help unfortunately. I think it could be that issue with Google play but I couldn't locate the file to delete it. Sorry I sound a bit vague but it's been a couple of weeks and my mate is totally useless when it comes to using Android other than the basic functions so it's a job trying to remember exactly what I viewed to attempt to solve it.
Cheers

1) try deleting Data/cache of 'Google play stores' and 'Google service framework' apps, then reboot ur phone and check.
2) if issue persists then remove ur 'Google a/c' then reboot ur phone and then re-login and see
Also it could be a .odex file casung the error message to appear.
To remove this, go to /data/app in file explorer and remove any .ODEX files of the apps you're trying to update/install
We have tried removing odex files and there aren't any on the phone. He tried clearing the cache and data and now gets the dreaded no connection error on play store any ideas?

Hey,
Having an issue with my SGS3 where I cannot install a couple of app updates. I keep getting the message 'insufficient storage available' and the updates will not go through. I have almost 3.5gb of free space on the internal memory and about the same on my SD card...
I am using the latest version of the following ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705866&page=284
I don't have enough posts on here to post this question in there....
FWIW, the apps are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Movies from Flixster.
I have deleted my cache, davlik cache, fixed permissions, re-booted various times etc. and nothing solved it; any ideas on what I could try?

Download Lucky Pacher APK, install and run it. It automatically deletes unused ODEX files. Those Odex files are probably the cause of your error.
You must be rootrd.

Sometimes I get the pop up that the launcher3 does not work properly and the terminal asks me if I want to close the launcher, I close and everything works fine again, but the other day it came out and the problem was not corrected. Now it's slow, I've tried to erase the data and the launcher cache but it's going slow, some applications do not even open. How can I have the launcher again as before?

It's not root with android 5.1. Even now seems its saying its not space in internal storage but i think its not true. I cant open play store neither. Maybe easy option is restore factory?
Indeed, this is a simple solution... You can try it... If the internal storage is runing out of space and you have not installed anything, there's a high probability that a trojan is involved.
install the virustotal onlinescanner immediately after the factory reset and have the system partition scanned on which the the lauchner is.
Remember: After a Factory-Reset all data and apps are gone...

Does the apps where only recongnized by one scanner (the first), the probability is high that FotaProvider and UpgradeSys are false/positive.
Critical can be the Cache Cleaner Super... Launcher3 was not recognized by any scanner?
If you don't need the CacheCleaner, delete it.. and install the rest of you apps...
Also install kaspersky and run a full scan, it works for 30 Days with all options ...

Only with root you can go further and delete this apps... if these apps are really dangerous and belong to the system, then you have a contaminated rom. In this case, you should consider importing a suitable custom rom and then re-installing the smartphone... Or root the phone, kill the processes (if the apps are already runs) and delete the apps with for example root explorer...

Kaspersky couldnt find nothing. There isnt a way without root to close and restart for a moment launcher3, i think the launcher restarted kinda bad and its just that. When appears the pop up if i want to close or wait its the same, i cant force this message again?
You can dowload an other (free) launcher, put it on the sd card and install it (without having the phone online). You can use a pc to download the nova-launcher (https://nova-launcher.en.uptodown.com/android/download) (english version). Then start the nova launcher and switch to "always use nova launcher"...
And when nova launcher is working i can force restart of launcher3 then?
you can try this but this is not recommend... if the launcher3 is infected with malware, the worst scenario will happen again...
