I am running Infused rom and when I try to download larger apps from the market, I get the errror that I have insufficient space on the device. I have over 4 gig free on the sd card and 2 gig internally.
Any advice?

Known problem with the new (3.x) market - Google broke it. It used to do downloads to somewhere on /data or /sdcard, now it goes to /cache and it bombs on large stuff because /cache is about 30MB.
I have the same problem with my LG Optimus V. Thing is, it only happens with custom ROM. Never had a problem with the new market on stock ROM.

My understanding is that there is supposed to be 4.5 gb or internal storage, or /storage/emulated/0. I have an actual 600mb of items on the internal storage space. I verified this by copying all the files/folders to pc and checking the size. Root Explorer reports same folder size for /data/media.
Settings->Storage indicates that I have 4.5 gb internal storage, 2.5 gb is free and there is 2 gb not accounted for. I should have 4 gb free? I reformatted /sdcard with CWM and still have only about 2.5 gb free and not 4.5.
2.5 gb of usable internal storage seems much to low. Flashing the rom with Odin did not change this problem. On a practical basis, I cannot install a GPS navigation app because it uses >2.5 gb.
What might the problem be? How to fix?
Is your phone storage 4gb or 8gv? As written on the box

The tablet is 8 gb and shows that in the Settings_Storage.
There must be a method or restoring the partitioning to stock, oob, sizes?
The data partition（store user-install apps and app's data） and internal SD partition(store User data like music,video,docs eg.) is ONE partition on Samsung GTab2 Tablets. So the "lost" 2G space which puzzled you are used to store the app and app's data.

Go to the /mnt/shell/emulated to look, you should have the root accounts to get the things or copy it.I hope it is helpful

With you and other's help here, I think I understand. The device is 8gb. 2 GB is for the operating system. Two GB is for apps and data. Then 4 gb remain for internal storage.
I would like to swap 4 gb storage with the 32 gb MicroSD card. I have been doing that prior to 4.2.2 running a script that changed mount points. That no longer works. I don't know how to edit fstab file that might work. In the meantime, I'll try to spend more time using the device instead of modifying it!
Hello everyone,
This is my first post here. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 5830i and today I bought a new SD card because the old one was crap. I had this problem before, I have it now. When I try to download an application from the Android Market, there is always this error ''There is unsufficient storage available''. I checked and I had 23 free MB of Device memory and 1.8 GB free on my SD card. I read a lot of articles about this problem and tried many ''solutions'' and nothing fixed it. I will be really, really thankful if anyone can help me fix this. Cheers!

You could also use Link2sd to make room on your internal storage.
the error you are facing is because once your internal storage is filled by approx. 85-90%, it shows the error - Insufficient Storage available
Try moving your apps to sd-card from settings/apps. if you moved them already, have you rooted your phone? If yes, then you can partition your sd-card to make space on internal storage. this can be done either Minitool Partition software for PC or through your CWM or TWRP recovery(needs root and custom recovery flashed)
what it does is, it takes a part of your sd card and converts it for internal storage.
If you have problem with the Playstore, you can root and install a newer version of the playstore. try this though i may not be sure about this
Google for the method as i cannot posts links currently
Cheers
I have an LG Optimus F3 (Virgin Mobile) and it has a 4GB internal memory. Of that, only 1.23 GB is free for installing apps and roms. The game I want to download and run is Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour which is almost 2GB.
1.) I have my device rooted
2.) I have Link2SD installed
3.) I have a 32GB MicroSD card installed. 21GB is parititioned in FAT32, while the remaining space left is in EXT2.
4.) The install location in Link2SD is set to External
I am still getting "Insufficent space" errors whenever I try to download this game from the marketplace. I thought Link2SD was supposed to fix this. I know I am doing something wrong, but I cannot figure it out. Please help. I am at my wits end.

I suggest that you uninstall apps that you don't need/use and/or remove bloatwares.
Since you're rooted, I Recommend to integrate the updates of your system apps to your Rom.
You're baffled. Android phone has four parts of where the data goes. System Rom, Internal, Internal Sdcard(SDcard0), External Sdcard(SDcard1).
The 2GB game you want to download is going to use your configured Sdcard0 and your internal memory which needs to have 2GB Free of memory or more in total. As far as I see your Internal Sdcard is set as your Sdcard0 whilst your Micro Sdcard is set as your Sdcard1. In that case Link2SD Won't help you, since apps use Sdcard0 to store it's data NOT Sdcard1. Meaning Link2Sd will just move the data of your Game to your internal sdcard(Sdcard0). To solve this you need to SWAP your Internal Sdcard and Micro Sdcard. Means from "Internal SdCard(SdCard0) : Micro SdCard(SdCard1) TO Internal SdCard(SdCard1) : Micro SdCard(SdCard1)".So Link2SD can move the data of the Game you want to download to your Micro Sdcard(Sdcard0) via Edting vold.fstab at System/etc/vold.fstab.

Hey, I have a classic problem. I have approx. 2 GB free of 32, but when I tried to download a rather small app (50 MB), I get the insufficient space problem. I tried removing Poweramp (and now I can't get it back), clearing cache from recovery, and removing .odex files and such. Is there a solution I haven't tried yet?

You have approx. 2 GB free of 32. Is it device memory or SD card?
What is the destination storage for your downloading of that small app? SD card or device memory?

you might need to clear logs and also change install location to SD card. Checkout this guide on How to fix the “Application not installed” error on an Android phone [/URL] . If its MTK based then you could expand the internal storage space.

Yeah, my phone is a Moto X (2013), so I don't have external storage.
