Sd internal memory full. Some questions... - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i'm struggling about an error i get during installation apps on my phone in signature. I receive the message that the space in memory phone is full.
When i have freed space (about 200Mb) on my phone i have not received the message anymore.
But checking the folders in my phone folders i found a directory in Dcim\.thumbnails that contains many only files .jpg (over 2Gb) despite i setted in phone that video and photo made by camera-phone must be saved in external sd.
Further usually i use Dolphin browser and my question is: can i modify my directory output for downloaded files? Do not think so!
Can you help me?

The thumbnails are like cache. They are cache for the pictures. U can clear them. Just tat ur gallery will load slower the next time u open it as it has to download the 'cache' for the pictures again. All browsers shld have directories to where they will be downloaded i think.

Thank you for your early reply!
If i can obtain a faster load when i open the Gallery i would leave it so now..
For the download folder in my Dolphin browser there's not the function to modify the folder.
If i try to go in tab Manage file in Download by browser i can only entry in different directories than default directory but the new directory has not modified

You are right! Infact the file has been downloaded in external sd. Not being the possibility to insert a directory path i thought i couldn't modify.
To free the space again i noticed my Aura Sygic navigator with over 1Gb of data map saved in internal sd.
It would be useful if i can take these data in external sd.
However i didn't find anything in Sygic settings for change of position. .

But in S3 wasn't there this function? Hasn't it been already installed into O.S.?
In other case will not i have problem with Navigator when i move data in external sd card?
Anyway the biggest amount of data concerns the cache for pics that i mentioned some post up! It's about 2,5Gb
If i cancel all pics in cache will be they saved in internal sd again?
What is the purpose of this cache over to load faster Gallery's pics?

I did encounter a similar problem with thumbnail caches. In that DCIM/thumbnails folder there were 2 files taking up around 2.5 GB each. They had the name .thumbdata3 I think. I deleted them but android didn't recognise that I had deleted them, although I could clearly see that the files weren't present anymore. I searched around on forums but found no solution but to factory reset. To prevent those .thumbdata files from forming again I think the solution was to create a folder name with the same name as the file so that it wouldn't form again. Weird

They are thumbnails which are the pic showing the preview. If u get it. Like in YouTube, when u upload a video, u have to choose a thumbnail for ur video. Which shows on the video icon before the viewer watches it. Its basically a preview.

What do you mean when you say that Android didn't recognise that you deleted files?
@JellyYogurt
It would be optimal at least if we can move these cache files in external sd...to avoid a risk about factory reset.
For about map of navigator a displacement to extsd would be good too..

Surfing on the web you find many guides about both ways ( deleting thumbnails and moving data map on extsd ) to free space in internal sd. However it's advisable to follow precises guides to prevent errors when you start the navigator or simply only cancel the .thumbnails folder.

If you feel uncomfortable with CF-Root kernel, flash back stock kernel/ROM or try another kernel ... there are many different custom kernels for our phone here on xda.
Have a look at my kernel / stock ROM tests (link in my signature).

Consider changing the title of your thread to get more help as your problem is most likely not related to rooting. It is related to how android partitions internal memory ( /data, /mnt/sdcard).

Here you go, I made this for when I tried LSJ on my phone. I have attached a CWM flashable zip and the edited vols.fstab file if you want to push it or copy it over with a root explorer. Just rename the vold.fstab.txt file to vold.fstab, XDA wouldn't let me upload an attachment with the .fstab extension

Not external SD card, it allows swapping the inbuilt 16GB memory and whatever SD card you have in the MicroSD slot so the phone sees the microSD card as the first point of storage, allowing you to use up to 64GB memory for game data download etc.

Samsung make this phone with internal storage USB storage and sd card but all the app files go to USB which is 12 gb. When playing Gameloft games which take around 2gb each it fills quickly so if you have a big sd card you can make the phone see the sdcard as usb

[Q] How to access "Old ICS file" when I update to Jelly Bean

Hi everyone,
I am using Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7500 with ICS 4.0.4 ROM and Update to CM 10.1 Jelly Bean 4.2.2
follow with this Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074202
Everything is pass but after I update to CM 10.1 by wipe the factory setting , wipe cache and wipe dilvik cache. I check the storage on my Tab 10.1 is used for 7GB that I am not install any app.
I connect my tab to my computer it seen only few directory of storage. It is not like a ICS that I can see root and all folder.
After I try to check the source of storage that used. I see it when I boot with recovery mode and select update with zip file, I can see all directory that ever used in ICS at the root directory.
But in Recovery Mode I can not delete for do anything with these directory.
I try to install "Root Explorer" App but cannot access these folder.
The Question is.
1. Have anyone ever solved this probelm. Can we access the old ICS file in Jelly Bean ? and How ?
2. If I cannot do it with Jelly Bean. Can I access with ICS ROM if I downgrade to ICS
3. If I must downgrade to ICS, I want some suggestion to downgrade form CM 10.1 , What's the important things that I should do.
Thanks,
Niphon S.

Put AppData onto your SD Card

Hi guys, so i ran out of storage on my mega 6.3 and found out it was the googleplay music data, so i just looked for a solution and ran over this:
watch?v=lYFw9bEAzM8
I am not allowed to put a link it in it, just put youtube . com infront of this
It's really easy and may help to put huge appdata like games and music pinned with google play on your SD Card. :good:
With a 64GB SD-Card i can install any game and put any data onto my phone now
(Sry for my english, I am from austria)
Hopefully I helped a little bit
Looks good but ill wait for the update maybe they put it in there to move apps to ext sd.

I don't have 9205 but have 9152 mega 5.8. By default the latest 4.2.2 already has transfer app to sd. Then to transfer game data I use gl to sd. Of course root is required. Folder mount also works but I have not tried it.
I also use folder mount but there is also an thread here that switches your internal and external sd.
Only problem is that after root i can not do OTA updates anymore.
But i think kies does work.

The latest version is MJ2, so that is very old.

No, the CSC is only to help Samsung it doesn't do us any good. Keep away from XSA though as we (Aussie) have the bottom dock locked.
The question is app DATA you mean the latest fw can move the game data such as the obb folder? And without root?

I don't know about without root, my Rom has root as well but the official one should be the same.
I am not sure about the data, would that not move with the app? If you run from SD would it not store it on SD? I am not a gamer so I don't know but you could try it, the Rom is an update anyway.
Ok so you have not tried it with game or any app data separate from the app. If the app data is on aseparate folder like "obb" folderthen itwill not move. This is also true with music files and backup files of titanium backup for example.
Gl to sd is the app to use if the app data is separate from the app itself. But the TS does not want to root so I think there is no way yet. Previously on 4.1.2 there was external to internal app but does not work anymore on 4.2.2.
I do know Titanium is movable, you set the place to do backups in the settings.
Anyway there is another thread stating what I already said here- that the MJ2 does not move the obb folder/data only the app.

Surely where the app puts its data is down to the app not the rom?
Previously I used a phone wherein application installation can be installed on the externalsd by selection or by default. So a rom can be programmed to do so. I don't know how difficult will that be to code on the mega and similar phonesbecause of the emulated internal memory though.

increase internal memory galaxy ace (URGENT)

OK so i have searched for info on increasing the internal memory of a galaxy ace s5839i and there seems to be a lot of info regarding partitioning so i downloaded minitool partition and created a partition on the SD card then used link2sd but this isn't really doing anything, when i try and download new apps larger than the available storage which is 25mb it comes up with the insufficient storage sign and when trying to link the internal apps that came with the phone it just says failure so i would greatly appreciate any help anyone can offer me as i am doing this as a favor for someone and they are picking the phone up tomorrow
Try re-Partitioning ur Ace, This time. Use CWM.

CWM for S5830i should work on S5839i as both of them have same hardware. Anything that works on S5830i should work on S5830c, S5830m and S5839i. Hope I Helped

Flashed cwm and made an sd partition using that and i can create links on apps now but larger apps (40mb+) still wont download on to the phone it still says insufficient storage
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Ok i have now linked most of the apps that came with the phone other than system apps and it freed up 90mb which is a big step up from 30mb i had before partitioning however when i download new apps they are not auto linking despite having checked the auto link box and when i do auto link i have to reboot the phone every time to make it take proper effect. Also downloaded apps use up less memory when i move to sd card rather than linking

Been playing around with link2sd and i am impressed its working great the internal memory from the phone keeps changing for some reason that's why i thought it was still taking up a lot of memory but once the phone is rebooted it balances itself out however the apps are still not auto linking i am putting this down to apps automatically downloading to the sd card rather than internal memory so link2sd is unable to create a link for this, any advice on why this is happening will be greatly appreciated

Some apps are usually installed on SD Card. Sadly Link2SD can't link the apps installed on SD Card. Hence you have to move such apps to Internal memory in order to link them. Also because you are using the stock rom which has no init.d support, you have to reboot everytime for your internal memory to stabilize. If you want to install as much apps as you want, then try CronMod Unofficial Script. But for this you need init.d support. CronMod Unofficial will not work on stock rom. All custom roms have init.d support. Just download any custom rom from the link given in my previous post. Download the CronMod Unofficial.zip from the link below. Now go to CWM, do Format data/ factory reset, Format cache partitions, Mounts & Storage> Format /system & Format /sd-ext, Advanced> Wipe Dalvik Cache. Now mount /system from Mounts & Storage and then install the rom from SD Card. Now remount /system and then install Cronmod Unofficial.zip from SD Card. Done! Just reboot and you can see that your internal memory has increased. Now you can install any number of apps as long as you have free space on the ext partition. Make sure to install only necessary apps as installing a lot of apps will ultimately slow your device. Here is the link,
Cronmod Unofficial

The person im doing it for doesn't want a custom rom so is there no way to direct apps straight to internal on stock rom? Hes taken his phone back hes happy with it for now but would be better if apps are automatically linked. Now i can go back to using my nexus 5 lol

You can also install a custom stock kernel to get init.d support to your stock rom. Try Rafeal Baugis Stock kernel. Here is the link,

I haven't heard any complaints from him yet so seems he's happy enough with it at the moment but if that changes i will most likely install the custom kernel you linked
