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.
Okay so I am having a most difficult time with getting Final Fantasy III installed on my i717 Note. I am running team perfection's UCLF5 4.0.4 ROM and have had no problems on my Note with installing or purchasing applications from Google Play. I have tried installing it multiple times and this is what happens:
When I go to download Final Fantasy 3, about ~180MB, it will complete downloading and start to install and then say "Insufficient storage." I have researched around and saw some fixes and have tried them all to no-avail. I have tried deleting all application's cache to gain space. Integrating system applications into ROM from Titan Backup. I have moved non-essential applications to a 32GB external sd. I have tried clearing RAM through Task Manager, the RAM is ~350MB utilized. Checking to see if it is Play store related, I have downloaded other applications most notably being Shadowgun after the initial FF3 download and installation failed. I have transferred all my games and big sized applications to the external sd card as well.
I have checked the following directories with Root Explorer and they all show substantial unused space:
/data 441.43MB used, 1.54GB free.
/sdcard 1.33GB used, 9.51GB free.
/system 827.52MB used, 180.38MB free.
Under settings->storage
Code:
internal storage: (Total space 1.97GB)
Apps 356MB used, and 1.54GB available.
USB Storage: (Total space 10.84GB)
Apps 1.45GB used,
Pictures and Videos 55.09MB used,
Audio 256KB used,
Downloads 5MB used,
MISC. 3.34GB used,
and available 9.51GB free.
SD Card: (Total space 29.23GB)
Available 25.89GB.
Okay well digging deeper I found that it might just be overfilling the cache...so I moved it to the external sd card and symbolically linked it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329994
And that didn't work. Went into CWM Touch and wiped Dalvik cache and cache still have the problem.
So any other ideas would be greatly appreciated...

Try Link2SD?
+1 Thank you sooo much! Worked like a charm. The option to install applications on external instead of internal sd really helped alot.
Was going to say , my ICS setup is running good with it here.
any other way?
i cant install on s3 mini , always pop up "out of space"
Ok so i can install almost any app on the market except these 2 that i have tried . I cant intsall directory bind and gl to sd (root).
Just to be clear all other apps install fine , i have plenty of space but these 2 apps give me the insufficient space or out of space errors , i have wiped dalvik i have wiped all the cache , i have tried looking for the odex files in root explorer , tried restarting my phone but nothing helps.
Im on stock ics with root , i get the feeling like these apps ar blocked on my phone or something because i cant use the app2sd apps so i though ill just change the primary storage to my ext sd but its impossible because the apps that i need are not installing
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.
I have moved few apps to external SD in order to save some space on internal memory and since then I cannot install any new apps (I get INSUFFICIENT STORAGE message), no matter how small. I have almost 2 GB free on internal storage.
Googled it, tried everything suggested, nothing worked. Clearing cache, uninstalling bunch of apps, clearing data, removing my google account&changing password, uninstalling all Play Store updates, installing latest version again...
Now my Play Store cannot even get online ("Check your connection and try again").
My device model is LG-D373EU.
Please help!
