I have my device rooted and everything has been fine i also have Xposed installer xblast tools and xperia xposed. I mainly wanted to be able to customise some colours and icons etc. Recently though i have being having problems with a lot of apps including the camera closing i.e android.process.whatsaap has stopped etc. When trying to send the error report or reloading the app i get not enough storage available. I checked and there is about 7gig left on the internal card and about 2 gig of system space. I also have a 64gig external card but makes no difference as the apps are installed internally. I have to keep using App Cache Cleaner to get the phone working properly again. Now app cache cleaner only reports about 4mb of data in the cache not 7gig!! It normally happens after some moderate browsing and whatsapp messeginh etc. I at a loss though because it does not make sense when there is clearly available system space. Is ther an issue with the latest kitkat update 4.4.2? Anyone else had this issue?

I don't think it s because of Xperia Firmware.
when u root ur device and install lots of 3rd party modules with root access to customize ur phone incoming issues most likely to be because of them and not firmware.
check if u change any system properties about Storage! like mount ext memory with internal or ...
that happened for me but i just reset phone
Good Luck

Hi there,
I've got a problem.
After I moved some apps to SD Card (using Link2SD or Titanium Backup), they are gone from home screen, app drawer list,and even in the list of installed apps they still missing. However, the files are still in disk but for some reasons, the OS cant detect them.
They only came back (to home screen and app drawer) after I perform Hot Boot.
Could you please explain why that was happening?
And how to avoid that problem?
I am using 4.1.2 Wanamlite XWLSW and Philz kernel 5.06.
Thanks,
I'm not really familiar with moving apps to other storages. But I'd recommend you to leave them where they are. Our SGS2 has storage for hundreds of apps. Plus they are slower if you move them and widgets won't work anymore.
Edit: Almost forgot about that: Big games automatically store their data on sd-card so there's no need to move them since the apps size itself is rather small
Move app using stock function setting》applications》select app》move to sd card
Send from my SGS2 I9100 with HassanROM and latest DorimanX 8.xx kernel

Thanks, but if I dont move them, my Internal storage will be empty and I cant do some of basic functions (ex: take camera pictures, download documents, take screenshots, etc). Moving apps gives me some space in internal storage (maybe around 100 MB).

I tried that but still doesnt work.
I tried using Link2SD and Titanium Backup, but after reboot normally, they are still gone. I tried Smart Launcher, but they stil didnt appear. Because they were listed as uninstalled. The files are there, but the system doesnt load them. Must still do hot reboot first before the system loads them.
I guess I'll take 1 example for disappearing app, this information taken from Link2SD (after Hot Boot):
Temple Run 2 Version 1.2.1 (on SD Card)

What actually Hot Boot does and normal reboot does not?

JB manages Memory in a diff way compared to ICS or GB, so its always better to have the apps where they get installed, rather than moving them to elsewhere and face trouble

But it looks like every apps installs themselves in internal storage (even app that uses big APK size), so soon or later my internal storage will be full. Is there any workaround about that?
Thanks

just open settings>manage apps and under 'All' tab u can tap on the app and see whether u can move that app to 'sdcard' or not, if its there then u can do it else its better to leave it.
since moving apps to sdcard using third party apps from stores, will always bring issue's for u, rather than resolving the storage problem
Hi Everyone,
I have an issue with my VZW GS4. All of my storage seems to be utilized by "phantom" files. I was updating my playstore apps yesterday and I got a memory almost full error. I only have 1 GB pictures, .5 GB music, and .3 GB applications used. I know the system is using almost half of the my memory off the bat, but looking at the files above, it did not make sense that I would only have 300 MB left out of 9GB or so available to me.
My device was rooted, but was still on the VRUAMDK Kernel flashed after rooting. I had Titanium backup installed but did not actually do any backups. I had CWM manager installed and had one recovery that took up a small amount of memory, so I wasn't sure what would be taking up all my memory.
I decided I wanted to do a wipe on the phone after backing up my pics/music to see if i could wipe the memory and start clean. I wiped the device using the stock recovery app and the phone still only has 4.2GB free. I guess a wipe/factory reset does not clean EVERYTHING off the SD card. When I go into the Device Memory section in settings, it appears I have half of memory free, but it still lists 4.2GB available. I did a file usage analysis and it does not listed Could something I had done in CWM Rom Manager created some hidden files that wouldn't get wiped? Does the GS4 auto software update download to a hidden folder before being installed? The phone recently download the new ME7 firmware which I did not install yet.
Using an android file browser i've looked around the SD card system folders but I would have no idea what would be taking up so much room. Has anyone else had an issue like this? Can I wipe the non-system partition of the SD card somehow? I am just not familiar with this and I wouldn't want to mess up the OS somehow.

Looks like a CWM recovery was sitting in root/data/media. I found this solution in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274218
I use link2sd to link app, dalvik (dex), lib and data files of all 3rd party apps that I install to my SD card to keep the internal memory clean and save space. Most of the apps work but some apps like Subway Surfers, Rail Rush, etc. stop working after linking everything and REBOOTING the phone. Until I reboot, it works but not after that. When I try to launch them, I get "[app] has stopped working error". 95% of the linked apps work totally fine. Problem is only with some apps (these apps that are troublesome are mostly the ones that automatically get installed to the SD card. But even if they do, only apk is stored on SD card and the dex, lib, data are still on the internal memory so I still need to use Link2SD).
Any solutions? Or workarounds?

Install these minority of apps as the developer intended? , if it's only a few apps it's hardly going to swamp your internal memory.

Yeah its just a few but I'm afraid I wanna keep more such apps in future which might behave this way. As far as it seems, this problem is only with some of those apps which automatically get installed to the SD card (like subway surfers). I found a workaround that seems to be working. Firstly the app needs to be moved to the internal memory before linking (which I already did before). But there are two ways to do this: One through the Android system (Settings -> Apps -> SD card -> Select app -> Move to phone) and other by using the Link2SD app (Select app -> Move to phone). The second option solves the problem. If the app is moved to phone using Android system, then linked to SD card and rebooted, apps stop working. So, its needed to move it to phone using link2sd.
I'm running the latest CM snapshot. I've been getting the infamous "Insufficient Storage Available" error for a while not, usually with chrome. There are various solutions. The "delete /data/app-lib/<app>/lib" solution was working ok for me but I can no longer find chrome in there anymore for some reason. I've already moved every app that can be moved to the "internal" SD card. All the "solutions" are really just workarounds trying to clear space.
Is it possible to increase the size of the partition by re partitioning the internal storage?

I know that apps can be moved to the SD card. That isnt a solution nor my question.
I'm asking of the internal storage can be repartitioned
I'm having the same issue. I desperately need to reparation my phone.
i'm running viper rom with the sdcard swap mode.
i'm now back to getting insufficient memory messages when trying to update apps or sometimes run apps. it shows i still have plenty of free memory... i have been moving apps to sd card and that works for a little while.

You need to look at internal storage, not SD card storage.
So I did system dump today to explore the files on my computer see what's hogging all of my space.
Background: I have only have 13 apps installed.
What I found is that my data/data is 346 MB and my data/delvik-cache is 452 MB.
So the files installed by CM are getting more numerous and of greater size. Not sure what to do to solve this problem.

same issue here. davlik cache is similar to a cache of your applications so they start faster. So it doesnt matter if you move apps to SD, you'll still have davlik.
Also, many apps will still store data in internal memory eventhough the app itself is on SD. I wish there were a way to move the data.
Or as I initially suggested, re-partitioning.

well, there isn't ANY easy re-partitioning tool for android out in the wild that i KNOW of ... but, (at least to let you know) ... I'm currently still trying to _hack_ something together similar to the internal storage-partition upgrades that the other HTC One devices with MSM8960 recieved ... where they officially unified the /user partition with the internal /sd-card (fat) partition! ... it might take a few weeks until i have something to show around (as work keeps me very busy throughout the week), but i'm working on it.
just as a quick question so CM currently DOES put it's dalvik to the /user partition??? i thought they put it to /cache??? (at least on CM10.1 and CM10.2) ................ so feedback would be highly welcome :laugh:
Hi,
I am having this error whenever I try to install any app from play store. May I know the reason please, and how to fix it?
Try some anti virus.
In normal cases, there are only 2 reasons for this,
Memory full because of users own stuff (very rare)
Or because of a virus (most of the cases)
What is ur device model by the way???
In some old devices, apps installed on phone memory also occupies space and make this happen.
Remove bloatware from your phone. Maybe that will help.

Link some of the apps to the external if you have root access.

Any idea guys?
Wipe data of Google Play Store.
Use Cleaner in Security app or use SD Maid by downloading 'apk' from Google. Else wipe data of play store
I did everything, still it didnt work
anything else?
Use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage&hl=en
Send a screenshot of your disk usage, may not have space allocated to internal data where apps are stored, may have room on phone but space is allocated to something else

Here you go man!
I assume you are rooted as you are running miui, use the same app to check other partitions such as /cache
The way apps are downloaded from the play store there has to be some room there too, problem may be partition size
Also it may help running a logcat during the download process and follow the error
My phone is not rooted. I flashed CWM through Command prompt (some kind of program). Then I flashed MIUI from CWM.
When I looked for cache, it gave me this error (in attachment).
Try going into cwm and wiping cache and dalvik and also clear data in play store
If you can pull a logcat that would be great too
