My wifes device is stock/rooted. I've tried moving all the apps to the SD card that I can but it's still showing 4.16GB of apps in internal storage. What can I do to fix this and get everything on the SD card that I can? I have tried Link2SD but it only moves somethings. I just want all user apps, downloads and pictures to default to the SD card.
So, does anyone know how to moved everything to the SD card and make it the default storage location?
5.0.2 does not allow moving everything to SD card like previous versions. You can only move the main app, but all data still needs to be on internal. I had the same issue. I tried updating some apps the other day, and got the error of not enough space, so the only option was to uninstall some apps I hardly used. I'm back up to around 1.2 free. Another thing to do is clear cache a lot. I free up around 400MB each clean. I use two apps for that, and both work great. Apps2SD has more features, and you have to enable the cache clean notification in settings. Cache Cleaner does just that. You can even use CCleaner to see if there are orphaned files/folder that can take up needed space.

I just learned that I have the same problem: I moved several apps to the SD card and it's still showing that I have 1 GB of free space. However, when I check which apps I have in the SD card, link2sd shows that nothing's in external memory. Please check the images I attached to this post. The first one shows which apps I supposedly have in the SD card. The other image says otherwise.

I think this is because the device is rooted, I've heard xt1527 model has some issues with root binaries...

Hi guys, my P500 has been rooted before with z4root, but I unrooted it already and did a system recovery.However, now whenever I reboot, the apps on my sd card won't load and some of the apps and market is always computing! Now I can't install any apps or uninstall apps! Help please!
why u unrooted?
Because when it is rooted, the problem was there.So I thought maybe unrooting can help.
Anyone can help?
This happened to me but was unrelated to rooting. I used apps2sd to enable installing any app directly and automatically to the sd card but my memory card was too slow and not formatted by the phone.
I tried to reset it but it went nuts and wouldnt show usb debugging mode or mass storage mounting mode. After fixing the phone, the tech guy told me that it was my sd card's fault and that I had to format it using the phone.
No problems after that. The games that are very prone to lag are installed on my phone's memory though and all games go to phone memory first before I move them around with Titanium Backup.
How do I format the ad card using the phone?And here's the problem I'm talking about

Go to Settings -> SD card & phone storage settings -> Unmount SDcard -> Click format SD card.
Thanks!Data in sd card will be lost right?What about the data in the phone?
Only data on SD card will be lost.
SD not recognized
After turning your phone off a couple of times until the SD apps load, don't update your apps again when they are on the SD card , move them first to the phone, then update the app and then move them back again to the SD card, it is tedious but it is the only way that I solved the problem

All data on SD card will be lost, make sure you back it up to your PC or something just in case you have something you want on there.
Phone storage will not be touched.
I use CM7 (nightly builds) and recently ran into a warning message about low internal storage, but I had about 2/3 of the total internal storage free (about 1 GB). Moving a couple of apps to the SD card made the warning go away but I'd like to know why the warning occurred when I appear to have so much space available. I can't just ignore it because sync stops when this warning occurs. Since going to a 32GB SD card is not a reliable option with this phone, I'd like to resolve the issue without resorting to wholesale transfer of apps to my existing 16 GB SD card. The screenshot below is my current storage after I moved a couple of apps, but the difference in free space now vs. when I was getting the warning is tiny.

this is a known issue on aosp based roms. if you check jt's posts here, you will find a post about /datadata being full, along with the fix. your /data partition is not full but another one, /datadata, is. as jt said, this will never be changed upstream, so either use the fix after every data wipe, or use less apps/move to sd all apps possible.
to confirm, open better terminal, or android term, and run df -h, look for /datadata, bet it's about %85 full.. Much beyond that you will start to get massive amounts of FCs, and it will make the phone nearly useless until you either use the fix or remove/move to sd some apps..
if this helps click thanks.
Any help on this guys ? I'm unable to install more mods as my system ROM is full. I have already dedicated 1GB to internal memory. What to do to solve this problem ?

- Are you really sure you need all those mods?
- You can always move apps to sd card, even if they are system apps - just convert them to user apps and move them.
- Integrate updates into system apps, and them move them to user (like gmail, maps, youtube...)
- Delete things like live wallpapers, xperia wallpapers, any app thats basicly just pictures, use the smallest size defaulttheme apk you can find: run file explorer, go to system/app, sort by size and start deleting things from the top (that arent really necesarry)
- save all images you got trough mms, and delete messages. They take up a lot of space (mine took up 14MB) Use SMS backup or something, save them and delete them in the phone, also clear dial history
Other than that, what the hell did you isntall that takes up so much space? Are you REALLY sure you need all those things?
Oh yeah, that 1gig you 'dedicated to internal memory', thats only really useful for android <2.1, which didn't support native app2sd. Link2sd allows you to move any app to sd card with native app2sd. And you can only store apps trough link2sd on that second partition, system doesnt see it as system (unless you remounted system as /system + /sd-ext but thats only my theory, I have no idea how that would be possible.
[QUESTION][GalaxyS2] Questions/Help with internal memory, customized ROM, "true" fact
(1) I need to completely wipe, remove, restore my phone to absolute stock. I am having some weird issues and want a "clean slate" to work off of. I currently have AJK (with custom initd and extweeks), cwm recovery, and cyanogen installed. I want all of it removed and want to start from scratch. What's the best way to accomplish this?
(2) upon completing Q1; I have a very small internal phone memory, somewhere around 1/2gb but I have a 32gb SDcard -- is it possible to format my SDcard to allow it to be used as "phone memory" so I can have more apps installed? I know there is the "move to SD" options, but this is not what I am looking for since this does not work for widget apps. Also I have a difficult time downloading apps without getting the "insufficient space" error via the play store during app installs.
I am so tired of having to uninstall apps just to install or test new ones. There has got to be a way to use my SDcard as phone memory
I have:
- 100mb out of 1.97gb on Internal Storage (/system)
- 7.82gb out of 11.36gb on Internal Storage (/sdcard0)
- 14.84gb out of 29.32 on SD Card (/sdcard1)

So even if I could combine /system and /sdcard0 to become /system and only have 1 sdcard partition would suffice
(3) is it possible to customize/package CyanogenMod to install NovaLauncher (remove/replacing Trebuch) and SwiftKeyboard (instead of AOSP keyboard), amongst other apps (I have the .apk files) so they are installed by default? Also removing apps like Apollo and DSPmanager.
(4) what are some custom scripts, init.d, extweeks, etc you guys are using that I should look into using to get the best performance, battery life, speeds out of the GS2?

Hello all, I need some help.
First of all, my phone is set up with adoptable storage. Before any problems, I had around 3.75 GB used out of 5.51 GB in my phone's Internal Storage. I wanted to migrate data from my SD Card to the phone's actual Internal Storage, so I could format and use the SD card on another phone. I tapped "Migrate data," but it was unsuccessful due to there being not enough space. My phone says "Data left at original location" if I recall correctly. But then the Internal Storage gets nearly full at 5.49 GB used, while all the data still persists in the SD card, unchanged. I've tried multiple reboots, clearing cache and davlink twice, and even deleting many other apps in hopes of updating the storage count, but nothing helped at all. What can I do? Thanks in advance.

Use an app called Storage Analyser. It will help you easily identify which file taking how much size. It is very powerful tool and Plots out the storage structure of your devices internal External and System partitions.
Hit Thanks if helped

Thanks, but it did not help, sadly. I think what happened is that some data from the SD Card was copied over to the Internal Storage when I did the migration, but when it failed, it simply left the copy on the Internal Storage rather than deleting it.
