I am running the AOKP ROM, and I really like it, but why do I have only about 900mb of data left on my internal storage? I have connected to my computer and went to delete some files and stuff I don't need... but it seems like it doesn't help at all. Please fix!!
-Thanks for any help!
By internal storage, do u mean system memory (where apps are installed) or internal SD Card (where ur files are stored)?
Also, which device do u have?

See if 'GL to SD' will help you move some apps to your actual external sd card. Free on Google Play.
Also give 'Storage Analyzer' to see what files are taking up your space. Free on Google Play.

its my internal sd card
if you can get your phone into usb mass storage mode you should try using a program called windirstat if you're on windows. itll analyze your sd card and tell you what is taking up the most space.

Hi
I am coming from the Vibrant. There, I never used my own SD CARD. I always used the phone's storage. It was always fine.
But now I just flashed to CM and when I wanted to take a pic, it said "please insert SD card before ...."
huh? does the G2x doesn't have enough space - even for ONE picture?
I am sure I am missing something here
Thank you!!!

Internal memory is 8gb but free space is roughly 5.2 gbs.
You need to have an external SD card with the way cm7 is formatted the internal SD card is mounted as mnt/emmc.
Not sure if you can change your download folder to mnt/emmc as I never have tried.
There is I believe if I recall correctly a flash that changes the internal memory card from emmc to reg browse the threads in dev you'll surely find it there

There's an option in cyanogenmod settings>application
That does that for you. Called use internal storage or something. Tap it and reboot.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
cyanogenmod settings -> application -> use internal storage
check this, reboot, and the internal storage should be mounted on /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard, while external sd card (if exists) will be mounted on /mnt/emmc
There is a 2GB for apps if I am not mistaken.

roughly 1.5gb for apps, with link2sd that 1.5gb is very generous since only some cache files are stored on internal and everything else being linked to the ext partition on sdcard. I have over 450+ apps/games on my phone atm using link2sd and reccomend it to anyone else who also likes installing tons of apps.

Hi there,
I saw from my local forum here a Samsung Galaxy W thread.. which a custom ROM
with swap internal/external storage..
then I saw he posted in this XDA Forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21317510#post21317510
can any dev can reverse/swap our internal/external storage so that /sdcard/external_sd into /sdcard (our MicroSD Card)
primary storage is the MicroSD and internal storage becoming the secondary i.e /ext_sd
thanks in advance!!
I'm guessing the less than 8gb internal memory is too small for you.
I'v been using a mod like this for my previous phone (i9003 Galaxy SL) and works fine. It had 4gb internal memory and about 1.5gb usable for user.
I9003-MOD-Swap your internal SDCARD memory (for froyo-2.2.1)with the External_SD
MOD-Swap external-internal SD Gingerbread Version
You have to edit the: /system/etc/vold.fstab file.
you will have to find the entries: "# internal sdcard" & "# external sdcard"
swap the code inside the {} sign and your good to go.
I can't test this as i don't have an i9103 myself.
Before you edit the file, make sure you make a nandroid backup. Also, make a backup of the original void.fstab file so u can revert the changes .
If u don't want to edit the file, attach your vold.fstab file on this thread and I'll take a crack at it.
```
backup original file and try this. View attachment vold.zip many users said, that this is work. And ~5% of tried have a brick. it is for you own risk.
I didn't try and I will not do this because there is no reasons to change "internal" and "external". If you playing Gameloft games, search "gl to sd" on Market - it will fully remove game data to external_sd.
ok thanks for the reply.
yes i'm also using gl to sd too.. but i dont understand
USB Storage got 1.2gb free
device memory 1.55gb free..
microSD Card 2.5gb free
but when running Dungeon Hunter 2 via GL to SD.. it says not enough space..pls free up 5mb to download.. etc etc..
I mount/unmount still the same.
8gb internal (3.75gb free) is small for me bcoz PAPAGO X5 can only be run from USB Storage (/sdcard) and it consume around 900mb. plus some Gameloft games data..
it eat up my internal USB Storage.

I didn't know that app, thanks i'm sure could be very usefull for some friends.
Hi Friends,
I'm new to forum and bought new Galaxy R.
The partition in phone is divided into 3
1. phone memory 1.9 gb
2. USB storage 3.7 gb
3. My SD card 7.4 gb
Now the problem is I have download games and my USB storage is full.
I also I tried copying to SD card and playing it. but didn't work.
Since, This is my new phone I don't wanna root at early level since the company warranty is void if it is rooted as I have heard from friends.
I need help to copy into SD card and play without rooting
or atleast my game recognise the path of sd card where i have transferred.
I have seen previous post and tried many soft like apps2sd, etc.. nothing worked.
any alt solutions to copy in SD and play without rooting...
Thanks in advance..
Also when I try to transfer the files to SD Card using manager or other soft's but failed.
For example: Like I tried moving Gameloft Real football 2012 to SD Card. It only copies some 10 or 12 mb file which we download from market not the full files which we download later (i.e approx 400 mb)..

I used GL to SD which can move huge data that we downloaded later into SD card.
but to me it is a bit confusing.. and sometimes i got 2 identical data both in my SD card and USB Storage.. im not sure if GL to SD support backup if you change your phone..

GL TO SD requires root. As given in the instructions, and i and the original poster doesn't want root.
Any other feasible option?

Thanks bro.. It is pretty hard to get this stuff solved..
Also, I tried the application for Mount.. even these app needs rooting.. God knows what to do...
Hi Friends,
I found some important stuff regarding the USB Storage & SD card..
This is for "Non-rooted" mobile phones.
I installed ES file explorer & X-plore and also few other apps.. This is to check how arrangement of file system are in the phone.
Now what i absorbed is, In the display of phone memory it shows 1.9gb and for SD Card memory it shows 4.9gb which is USB storage not the one which I have installed 8gb SD Card.
So its like this..
" /mnt/sdcard " This is for USB 4gb space (Non extendable)
" /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/ " This is for my 8gb sd card (Extendable)
Hence, when ever any App wants to download additional data it goes to USB Storage (I.e /mnt/sdcard ) not to SD 8gb expandable storage card.
I want to configure or use the command to make the application to choose default location as " /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/ " to save in my extendable memory card without rooting.
IS THIS POSSIBLE... Please do let me know from the experts...
THANK YOU..
From what i have seen , u need a shadow copy or u need to bind the folders in some way, which requires root... I see no other way...

hey guys,
i have not found anything about my problem here or on google, so im asking and hope its not coverd anywhere else.
i read about changing the default location for camera/fotos and how to get apps to sd. but i want to set the sd card to default for anything. for downloads/music/pics/app related files.
i have 16 gb of internal storage and it fills up with all my music from doubletwist that i sync over airsync. maybe there is a way to get that done for the music alone. that would already help me. but a better solution was to get sd as default for anything.
when i think about my htc, i have all apps on the internal, thats ok. and all other files are atomatically saved to de sd card. i want it like that on my note 10.1
is there any possibility to get that done?
thx in advance guys

hey thx so much. i will give it a try in the next days.
but i noticed something else. when i look at my files from es file explorer, they all seem to be on my sd, but my settings app says they are on the internal storage, but maybe the script will fix that.
Your internal card is the sd as far as es is concerned. Youneed to either hit the star icon in the left corner to go to extsdcard or go to mnt>extsdcard to get to your external sd card...
Ah now I get it... Thing is: it was different on all my other devices... Thx again guys. It was a huge help

Hi,
I have an Android device. I bought it from our local cellphone shop, a Cherry Mobile phone. name of the unit is Jelly. Its Android Version used was 4.2.2. I have 165mb of internal storage(17.88mb available) and 14.87GB(13.28GB available) of SD card. I've rooted it using FramaRoot. I'm getting this error when I download or install an application using Playstore and APK installer.
"Error downloading. Insufficient storage available".
I tried clearing the cache. I've put it's Preffered install location to "SD card". Default Write Disk to "SD card" . But nothing worked! I really need help!
I cant download anything! I tried to download Link2SD(a 3mb file) to fix but nothing! I've tried installing Lucky Patcher apk. but it said "Insufficient ....................." .. How do I fix this?
I also noticed this when I was running out of storage, even though there was enough space for apps.
Try deleting some more data in your internal storage, not the SD card, and it should work again.
Basically, if u download an apps from the Play Store, the apps will be stored first in the internal storage. After that it will automatically moved to SD Card if u have root and set ur device.
Does the app which u want to download larger than the available internal storage?
If that so, u should free some memory in ur device.
Otherwise, u could try to enlarge the internal storage of ur device, try to find it in other part of this forum corresponding to your device.
17MB internal is the problem. It can't download an app directly to the SD, it has to pass through the internal memory first.
Clear some space on the internal memory.
Also, try dialing *#9900# and clicking on 'delete dumpstate/logcat'. Might give you a few more MB's.
