[Resolved] [Q] apps not installing onto a2sd - General Questions and Answers

Hi, i've recently installed the Oxygen V2 RC7 rom onto my HTC Desire. I've installed the Rom Manager app and have used that to create a partition to allow for apps to install onto my sd card.
However when I install apps, it appears that it still stores onto my internal memory. At the moment when I go into Titanium Backup it states that my internal memory only has 64.2mb free (down from 154mb) and SD card (a2sd) has 452mb free (down from 480mb).
I've tried googling but I can't seem to find any solutions. I've also tried reflashing the rom again but nothing changed.
If someone could point me in the right direction and to what I may have done wrong, or if i've missed something, it would be highly appreciated! a2sd was one of the main reasons I rooted, so it's a bummer it's not working atm!
Thanks in advance!
[RESOLVED] Found out the reason. Dalvik cache wasn't moved.

Using CM6t8
Is it possible? If so, would anyone mind explaining how? I have the option under applications but it fails every time.
I went into rom manager and set up my preferences for SD partition (anyone have suggestions on those by the way?? partition size/swap size<--no idea what that means), I have an 8GB SD Card.
Then it said I needed to reboot and it put me into the recovery screen, what do I need to do here?
Thanks in advance
I'm lost on getting the Google apps installed through ROM manager as well.

[Resolved] [Q] Problem with StarBurst Froyo HTC 2.29.405 [30 Jan]

I have bought a new 16gb Kingston SD card. I partitioned it 11GB FAT32 and the remainigng ext4.
I rooted my HTC Desire, wiped it, installed StarBurst and then installed Data2SD. So far so good. The phone booted back up and all seemed well but accessing apps was slow. I then tried downloading an application from the market and got the error "Sorry, there is not enough space to install this application".
I checked and my SD card is showing 11gb free space and my internal memory is showing 3gb.
Has anyone seen this problem?
Many Thanks
Formatted both partitions and reinstalled Staburst Lite 1.2.0 and getting same error. As the phone recognises there is space, could there be a permissions problem?
When you flash Starburst, it sets the permissions just before it finishes the install. You're ROM might be bad, you should try downloading the full one. Doing a factory reset. Flashing the ROM. Then rebooting and flashing the App2SD install and reboot again. Hopefully things work out for you. I'm having problems with Starburst too.
I completely wiped and reformatted SD partitions, downloaded the lite ROM (had tried standard) and installed that. Same problems, the phone seen the 3gb internal memory but I couldnt install apps. It did however download the update for google maps and install that automatically. Even after that if I tried getting anything from the market I got the no space error.
When I had the standard ROM installed, I evntually tried the fix permissions button in ROM manager. It did 170ish tasks but didnt fix the problem. This was my first attempt at flashing my Desire. I have learnt a fair bit already about it and done plenty of googling and reading.
I have installed Oxygen for now but would like to get starburst working to try out this performance boost it boasts.
Ok, I gave StarBurst another go, reduced my ext4 partition down to 1gb from 3.x gb and it works now. Maybe a restriction to what size it can work with.

Insufficient Storage Available

Hello,
I'm experiencing an issue with Gingerbread or ICS ROMs with Sense whereby i reach a point of trying to install apps and I receive the error 'Insuffcient Storage Available'.
Meanwhile I typcially have over 100mb available on the internal memory and 11GB available on the SD card.
I've tried:
- cleaning cache
- uninstalling apps (temporarily works until more apps are installed)
- fixing permissions
- using recovery to wipe cache and dalvik cache
- also removed SD card and tried installing apps, this still fails
I seem to notice the error with Sense based ROMs and can't recall if I have experienced this with MIUI ROMs.
I'm unsure what else to try and I'm wondering if anyone has more insight how to resolve this problem permantly so I can install more apps.
Any help is indeed appreciated, so thank you in advanced.
P.S. Current Phone info:
ROM - InsertCoin ICS Sense ROM 4.0.6
Phone - HTC Sensation
Fully rooted, SuperCID'd, current 4EXT touch recovery
This may be obvious but......have you moved your already installed apps to SD? The ones that can be moved.
I've had the same problem, but rebooting usually fixed it for me.

The problem is not insufficient internal storage, it is some cache or market data. Since you have cleared cache, try going into Manage Apps, go to the market, and clear data. That fixed it for me before.

[Q] P3110 ...internal sd probs.

Just rooted my new 3110, successfully .......(or so I thought) . Now I cannot install anything on internal SD. Whenever I try, I get "not enough space" error message - even the 2 apps(only had the tab 3 days)! that were on the sd before I rooted, have mysteriously moved to phone memory. I cant even install FolderMount , which I had already d/l. Forgive a newbie, but having rooted my Galaxy W phone 18 months ago with very few problems, was hoping tab would be as reliable. Anyone help? (as I dont want to unroot just to be able to use internal sd memory.) Thanks in anticipation.

I'm confused, how did you get apps to run on your external SD without root? Didn't know that was possible. Did you try clearing the dalvic cache? Seemed to do the trick when i had issues with lucky patcher causing that same error. I may be way off base though.
Edit: i think I'm confused, sorry, that advice is surely off. Uhm, perhaps reflashing stock and trying again,seeing as how you do not have much data to loose, using the auto root Odin flashable file.
This is what i use. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33303017

...........Thanks for the help.. Wasnt talking about ExtSdcard, but sdcard0, the internal storage -,sorry for confusion-. Although "Install manager" shows all apps as being installed on "phone" memory, & "external" memory empty, both "Disk Usage" & "Root Explorer" show the same files/size used, in both locations, so I now figure I may have partition problems after rooting (I used this system : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1596) Will try the auto method as per your link if I cant solve the issue (though hoping a quick fix might be possible.!) Thanks

Still "not enough space" issues.
Ok. I tried wiping data, flashing back to stock rom, then chainfires auto - root method. All went well - device rooted (again!) fine, BUT I`m STILL having problems with storage. Some apps (especially games) wont install - am getting "not enough space" message, just as before. It seems that all apps that need to be intalled on the devices internal "sd" (such as" FileMount") card just wont.
Please forgive a couple of lame questions, but having never owned a tab before, I`m new to their "vagaries" - Also I have searched here & other online forums for an answer, so forgive my badgering all you "fonts of tekkie wisdom."
. Mine is the 8gb model, & I know a lot of this is taken up by system/ram etc - the "device memory" reports a total of 4.49gb, but TB (& other root apps like sd maid) states : Rom 1.26 gb, internal 4.92GB, sd card 4.82gb (with exactly the same space used in both , i.e. 1.50gb. I also have 32gb micro sd inserted. - Is there an internal partition for the "sdcard0" space , or it there a "physical" internal sd card ? If so how do I format thhis? If not could I have a partition problem? (The reason I ask is that none of the "move to sd" apps I have tried like app2sd, install manager etc work - They state, apps have moved when they clearly havent.
So I think it may be an internal partition problem, (which I presume hasnt been solved by reflashing stock, and re- rooting.) - I did notice that when I was re-rooting by CF auto root, in odin there was partition check box, but CF instructions said "if, & ONLY IF, device is bricked, to check this box. - So how can I , - 1. confirm whats causing the problem?, & 2. -Solve it?
Thanks for any help & advise hopefully, proffered, forthwith.:fingers-crossed:
do a simple thing! factory reset your tab. click format sd ! these issues are solved just by formatting the sd, be it internal! :good::good:

Its a partition, its an emulated SD card. I think the post above me has the right idea.
Also, none of those apps will work. You will need use a sdcard swap script, gl2sd(app), foldermount, or some root app or script that is similar to those.
I think you will need a custom recovery, (like cwm, or twrp) to format the internal "sdcard", i never really used the stock recovery much, but it seems like an option they would leave out. I think there is an oden flashable in developer section. I would find links for you, but i got to get the kids ready. Shouldn't be hard to find.
If you can not format the internal SD using stock recovery, here is a link to the Odin flash able cwm.
PS. I really do not think it is a partition prob., and i wouldn't click the repartition option.

Fixed!!
OK Folks - seems I have fixed the problem, by uninstalling all apps (inc "moving" apps) that dont work or are "buggy" , cleaning/wiping caches/data, then I was able to install FolderMount from here, and now all the instability/storage problems gone. (Am so impressed with FolderMount have bought pro, as I am a bit windy when in comes to T.E`s or running scripts! My 32gb is filling fast enough anyway!)
Thanks for the help chaps - dont know what us "am hacks" would do without you! :highfive:

Cool, glad to hear it. I love foldermount. After weeks of searching, that app/dev came to the rescue, it is well worth buying pro!

How to make TWRP and Link2SD working "together"?

Hi everyone,
I posted a thread about a TWRP issue where I was complaining that it didn't work anymore (doesn't want to make backups) after partitioning my SD Card. Now I fixed that, but this incident raised an annoying question: is there any way to use TWRP and still using Link2SD without conflict or you must choice?
Explain for those who didn't already understand :
Basically, Link2SD needs a second partition to move application (data, code, apk and even dex), in order to free up internal storage and more efficiently than only "moving" app on SD Card.
Problem: TWRP on his part can't write on SD card if there is more than one partition. And this for a dark reason (story of single block, blah-blah-bruh)
I already searched around XDA to fix that but I didn't found anything (as usual...)
Well, could you help me?
Thank you in advance
