Hello everybody
I have a big problem since 2 weeks with my sdcard / app2ext.
It starts with fjfalcon cyanogen mod but i come back to miui final the last week (for holiday i needed a good camera...) and it s the same.
My problem is that when i want to install or update an app(by the market) it keep saying that i haven t sufficient space...Superuser update by itself (not by the market) and it works
But i have 1Go of ext (at least half empty) and i also have a lot of space in the internal memory (even in my fat32 i have at least 3Go...)
So why i m lacking of space???
I try to wipe dalvik cache but it s the same cause it rebuild it at boot.
But when i go in the cache folder by root explorer i can see that i have 105Mb used and only 300Ko free..
I try to reformat only the ext it still the same i also clear all my sd and start over (but copying back all my apps to the ext part) but nothing change too... I also delete my swap partition cause i never use it but it can t be the problem
Someone have an idea??? I format my sd 3times this week... I don t have anymore idea......
edit i forget to says that i use app2ext with an ext3 part but i try ext4 or ext2 and it s the same
the space the market error is complaining about is the Cache, nothing to do with your physical storage
CM6 is fixed to prevent that bug
sounds like CM7 or MIUI ports the guys are working on has not been tweaked with enough cache for the Download cache for Market

how much space does it read in the SD card, and Internal Storage?
Go to openrecovery and wipe the cache partition (not wipe dalvik-cache).

Thanks but that was the first thing i try... But i never wipe only the cache (i wiped dalvik cache also) so i m trying it right now...
But just to be clear i reinstall others rom many times (4 or 5 times) so i always clear all....
edit: it s the same... My cache is still full (100Mb full 5 M free) after the wipe of the cache
@AllGamer
3Gb free on sd and 50Mb in the internal storage.....
We fixed that problem in ms cm7 sometime ago...

??? And how???????????
I search it but i didn t find anything talking about this in the cm7 thread...
But i install the 18/11 version of your rom and it s the same.
I think the only choice i have is to delete all my sd and start all over... But i can t understand why... The cache is not in the sd!
I would suggest exploring your ext partition and see if you have any duplicates in there. Otherwise, to me it seems like you have a ghost in the machine. I always hate to do this and hate suggesting it, but might be time for a reformat and fresh sbf/flash straight to CM7 and not overlay any other ROM.
Wait a minute. Do you have a cache cleaner app (Cache Cleaner NG is good b/c it removes cache from internal and SDcard - Cachemate is another one)? I am thinking that you might have too much built up cache. Example, you go into your XDA app and check out some threads, screenshots,...that all builds up useless cache. Go into settings>manage apps>your app and clear the cache. I have seen my market hold up to 5mb and my XDA app hold almost 70+mb of cache. I am really thinking that may be the culprit.

Good idea i m gonna try cache cleaner. But i hope i will be able to install it.....
But for the fresh reformat/flash sbf i already did this that s why i don t understand at all.
I reflash sbf. Install a new rom and clear all the cache / Dalvik cache... (all that at least 3 times....)
The only thing i didn t format is the sd card. Indeed i format it, make new fat32 and ext and copy all my old fat 32 and ext data.
I didn t want to loose all my ext apps but i think i don t have the choice now. But i m not even sure that it will solve my problem...
Cache cleaner don t work too...
it succeed to wipe all but nothing change i still have only 4mb left... (by root explorer). And it seems to be the dalvik cache folder which is full
I can t understand how this folder can stay full after a fresh sbf flash a wipe and a new rom....
To me it seems that if you are reformatting and then restoring, you are essentially restoring the problem. Try reinstalling apps with Titanium.

That s why that is pissing me off
I will have to format my sd and start over from beginning but i still can t understand why i already have a lots more apps so why whit less app i m lacking of space???
I couldn t wait any longer so i format my sd card
Now i havent anymore apps but all works...
But if someone understand why i had this.....
You should be able to restore most apps with TB. Sucks that you had to reformat. So frustrating, I know and have been there myself. Different problem but same result. The dreaded reformat. Maybe sometimes that is just what is needed. Bummer though.

I explain it in the rom's thread but i didn t restore any apps for the moment (i can t install titanium backup...) it s a fresh installation on a fresh sbf and a clear sd (only with an ext part and an app folder in it)
And i can t install any app by the market or with an apk.
On the others thread someone tell me about a Mz tip to make it work by deleting the secure folder on the sd (but i can t too cause i can t install root explorer...)
Too bad the rom seems fast! And so pretty too! Maybe i will try to install another rom to install root explorer on the ext and come back

Market FC may be caused by .android_secure folder on sdcard. You can't delete it directly from the phone, though (you have to use USB). But if you reformatted the FAT partition, the old one shouldn't be there unless you copied/restored it from a backup.

Hi folks,
Can anyone help me with this problem...
Nexus S I9020, Android 4.0.4 IMM76D
I'm getting the message "Insufficient storage available" when trying to update a couple of apps (Tapatalk, 4.26MB, and Go Launcher EX, 5.86MB) from the Play Store, yet I have over 350MB of free internal storage. All my apps are installed to internal storage.
I've cleared way more app cache from other apps (Gmail, Maps, Music) than the download sizes for these apps, yet both of these apps stubbornly refuse to update.
Rebooting hasn't worked.
Where on earth is Android running out of storage?
Using ES File Explorer, I don't seem to have a <root>/data/apps folder - <root>/data is empty.
Many thanks.

This is an individual app problem right? just this one app doesn't work, but others do? try a different kernel or a complete wipe, if still doesn't work, try a different version or different rom/ Hope this helps!
Are you using some kind of patching software to remove ads??
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
When I first got my android and didn't know better this would happen when I downloaded a "free" version of an app from online somewhere. When I learned more and wanted to supoort devs i removed the app and tried to get it ledgit from the market I would get that error. Not implying anything Just my experience.
Try to clear market data if that doesn't work might have to do a full wipe before getting that particular app.

Hi guys,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I'm not using any patching/ad suppression apps. No tweaks or trick configurations or rooting going on here - stock 4.0.4 and nothing else.
This is something both my wife (she has a NS too but with over 600MB of free internal storage) and I come across regularly when updating apps which I normally work around by clearing the app cache of the three apps I mentioned but this time it was particularly stubborn.
However I set about clearing the cache of all apps that wouldn't need a whole load of configuration afterwards and this then allowed the apps to update, so it does seem to be an storage space issue. But where could the phone possibly be running out of space when, as I say, I have over 350MB of free internal storage?
And... why would Chrome browser create an app cache of over 90MB!
Thanks again.

Solved your problem yet? I was also experienced this and found from another thread in this forum that wiping cache from Recovery Mode solves the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562962&page=2
No solution. I just go through the hoops every update of clearing the app data of Gmail, Maps, Music and Chrome Beta.
Recovery mode doesn't work for me as I'm running stock Android 4.0.4 with stock recovery and no root. I just get the red triangle when I go into recovery.

i ran into this issue a lot when i had 100mb free, so i just moved most of the apps to usb storage (ie: ones using up 10mb+ of storage), and it seems to have fixed the problem.

The only way to wipe dalvik cache without root would be to factory reset your phone as cache and dalvik get cleared during this process.

I had the same problem; just found this free app that does the app cache wipe on the Play Store:

I have found that Google play reports insufficient storage even when other errors occur: logcat gives more precise answers.
In any case I found that it was related to lucky patched, that I decided not to use anymore...

Normally you can clear caches and it will work otherwise uninstall the app and reinstall. If you have to uninstall make a data backup first. What it equates to is the app dev didnt put a call in to remove the app prior to installing the new version. Ive run into this with Plague Inc. and Ive sent a bug report to the app dev. I suggest the same for whatever app you are having issues with.
I've tried the whole "clear your caches and fix your permissions" thing, and, at least from what I can tell, you can't install anything through Play/Market unless you have at least ~55 MB of space available (even if you are installing to microSD or replacing a currently installed app). I'm not sure quite where the threshold is, but it is somewhere around there.
I can't answer "Why?" as it is in Google proprietary code and I don't have the source available.
I have tried clearing caches and dalvic.. also reinstalled gapps.. can't get it to work..

Have you cleared data from Google Services Frameworks? That has fixed every market issue I've ever run into. If jeff is saying it's coded to not let you install with under 55mb of space left I believe him though.
I can't be sure it's "coded that way," but I haven't found a way to get Play/Market to install when I get down somewhere below 60 MB free space, including flashing a new ROM, clearing cache, fixing permissions, reinstalling gapps, and probably a few other things I've tried. There are definitely days when I wish someone would prove my theory wrong!
I believe Jeff no doubt but I have 66.1mb available..

i have this problem when there's an update for the "Dark Jelly" theme i have. i found the only way to get it to update really is to uninstall it and then re-install. i know its a pain in the arse, but its the only way i found to update it.
I had to move some apps from the internal storage to the SD card to overcome this problem. I'm on the Galaxy Beam rom

My Apps2sd (in ROM toolbox) was set to install to SD card automatically and as soon as I changed it AUTO (location) problem was fixed.

My husband's Galaxy S 4G is having the same problem with erroneous memory capacity error message.It seems happen after he adds an app. And we are not sure why the error message goes away WHEN it does go away. Can you clear the Google Services Frameworks without removing important info he has put in the apps, or will it delete any apps?. Sorry for my ignorance of the Android system.

If you're husband's phone is rooted then you can always back up his apps and app data with titanium backup or you can make a nandroid backup through cwm that way in case anything goes wrong you have a backup to fall back to

This worked for me, thank you !!
I was having trouble installing UberSocial. I could download and install every other app (smaller and bigger in file size) except for UberSocial.
Tried the Lucky Patcher method and worked like a charm.
BTW, I should mention I have a rooted S3 but found this thread via Google .
The Jelly bean rom takes up a lot internal memory, plus it installs most of the apps from the market to the internal memory instead of SD card. I don't why, maybe the devs can answer this. I had to remove the xbmc app (97mb) in order to install anything else.
Hit the thanks button if it helps. It's my motivator to be more helpful.
I use Titanium to move all data apps to SD, I also use History Eraser before updating apps so that at all times I have over 110MB free on internal mem.

Ive been working on a universal script to move stuff from internal to external, so far i have it down for my s3 and i could do one personally for the sgs4g but i want to make it universal since ALL ICS AND JB roms do this AND your storages are different when using stock compared to AOSP
Hi all,
I already searched around and could not find anything close to a solution. I have a huge ANNOYING problem. I haven't had this issue until recently. Or rather, I haven't noticed it until now. I flashed a new ROM coming from CM10 thinking it was the ROM, but I have tried two different ROMs and still the same problem. WTF!? I keep getting the message "Insufficient Space available" error when trying to install programs from Google Play or trying to side-load.
For some reason I have two internal storages when I look under storage in system settings. One is 1.97GB and the other is 11.24GB. In the smallest one, I have 209MB available. WTF!? Yet the other has 11.17GB. It's to the point where I have only 9 progrmas installed! 9!! Something's got to be wrong here, Please help!
What's the deal!? Anyone have a solution. I have done a factory reset and cleared everything. Still nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated.
*temporary fix*
OK, so I went in and cleaned out the folder /system/lost+found
It had 1.6gb of used space. Deleted it all and now I have that space available.
The main reason for this being a temporary fix is because I still have two internal storages. So eventually the 2gb where all the programs are being installed into, will run out again. So then phone is not taking advantage of all 14 GB available for storage.

Did you wipe data and caches?
I had this problem before, where I had gigabytes of files in the lost+found folder, which would take up the internal storage where apps are installed. When I went to another ROM, I did a clean flash, and even though I restored all apps from Google, I had much more space available.

Wipe data from google play services, google play, and google services frameworks. Clearing the data also wipes the cache for you. To do this go to Manage apps>all and pick those apps. It'll take some time to resync all your google info but after that you should be good.
So I just had this problem yesterday and what worked for me is to wipe Everything, except for the sd cards. That should clear out the data that is from your last rom.

My solution was to disable Sync App Data in my google account as I logged into a factory wiped phone. I had Despicable Me 2 installed on my tablet, but even though it wasn't installed on my phone it was still syncing the 600 (SIX HUNDRED) MB of App data (videos I assume?!). There is no easy way to know which apps are doing this(abusing data sync), especially if you have multiple devices using the same account but different app sets. Wiping /data and making sure not to sync app data was the only thing that worked for me. Once you are in, you may be able to delete that app data by delteing the app from the 'My Apps' 'All Apps' section, but there should really be a better way to manage this data.
Did anyone come up with a permanent fix for this? I have tried flashing several roms several times and always end up with the split storage.

I haven't found a permanent solution, but you can install apps on the external SD card. I think there is an Xposed module that will force apps onto the sd card as well.

- I tried both to download from play store and to install the apk downloaded from wa website;
- I've no problems to update all the other apps or install new ones!
- I checked the partions: more than 600MB on /data, more than 3GB on internal sd and more than 10GB on external sd... plenty of space everywhere.
I would really like to avoid doing a factory reset... any help appreciated!
I attach the screenshot of the partitions...

I think i might be due to junk files in the /data partition which might not be accesible to whatsapp.. A randonm guess though..
Download CCleaner and scan for junk files.. Remove the files.. Then try see if that works..

Thank you for the input! :victory:
Long story short: I didn't install CCleaner, but actually looked for junk files in /data... I found two files left in /data/app-lib/com.whatsapp-1, deleted the whole com.whatsapp-1 folder with CM file manager (root mode), and I've been able to reinstall Whatsapp without problems!
Thank you dude :good:
