All apps on SD Card but still no memory?

Hi guys,
This is my first thread in here so I apologize in advance for the noob question.
Ok, like the topic says I have completely run out of space on the phones rom. I keep getting the memory warning pop-up followed by the red SD card graphic.
My phone is rooted and all my apps were moved on the SD Card through Titanium Backup. I have even removed a few bloatware programs.
I have only 50 mb left and no apps will update unless they're a small file size. All I keep getting is the stupid red triangle.
Anything I can do to clear some space?
I have read the countless threads about the memory issues on this phone, but nothing was really specifically mentioned with my problem.
Thanks again for the help!

In Titanium Backup clear the Davilik (sp) cache on the phone that may free up some space. After removing a bunch of bloat and moving things to the card I freed up 40 or so megs internally to give me 133 free right now.

The author of this is correct.
I experienced it last night. I removed some apps and cleared some space.
It's ridiculous. The warning only starts when you have less than 50mb of space left. I tried to install a 700kb app and it failed.... Insufficient space.
REALLY? What is the 50mb for then? Swap?

Thanks guys for the response!
I have tried clearing the Dalvik Cache but there isn't anything to clear.
It has me stumpted. When I bought the phone I had a little more space available. Now, even with every app on the sd card, and bloat ware deleted, I'm out of space. Odd as hell.
What does everyone have for available space? I'm at 40.5 mb right now.

After zero-byte-ing the two fota files and moving a lot of stuff user-installed apps to the SD card using the pm setInstallLocation trick, I'm at 214/514 MB used, with 301 MB free (stock ROM).

Ok, so far for an update:
I've downloaded aCCleaner attempting to clean up some cache. Before the clean I had 45.8 mb free. After the clean I had 46.8 mb free. 1 whoping mb was cleared. So, it cannot be program cache hogging up my precious mb's.
I'm running out of ideas.
To the user above, I have all my programs installed on the SD card already. It doesn't seem like that 0 trick does anything other than allow the apps to be installed on an SD card without root access. So it wouldn't be beneficial to me
I'm still confused about this. Technically, with all my apps on the SD card and program cache cleared, shouldn't my available mb's be very similar to stock levels? Granted the only thing taking up space should be text messages and my gmail in boxes.
WTF. Frustrating. Tired of looking at the red triangles and red sd card.

I dunno how the heck you don't have anymore memory left. But if your really wanted to get that space back. I suggest using Odin and flashing aloneinshadow's Deodexed KB5 Enhanced v2.0 OR download the "fota.zip and extract the files and use root explorer and moving the 2 files and replacing the 2 fota files in the data/fota directory. You'll get about 300mb back.
Here's the link to the fota.zip file and also the TAR for flashing the stock ROM minus the bloat. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12153961&postcount=1
You can also reinstall the bloatware you want afterwards.
Here is the guide on how to use Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759

Yeah man idk what you're doing.. the fota trick leaves me with 379mb of free space...

Sweet! Thanks!
I'm going to have to try that fota trick. Before I do that I'm going to try to explore the main directory and make sure all the programs are in fact on the SD card.

I just flashed to the custom rom listed above (worked perfect), also put fota files in /data/fota on sd card. After all is said and done, I lost TouchWiz, (which I love) and my memory is still at 53 mb! It kept all my apps and data, which I was surprised... but I did this only to free up internal memory. Did I do anything wrong or any guesses as to why my memory is still so low? Thans.

Got TouchWiz back (just had to choose that default instead of launcher duh) and now memory has gone up to 109 mb free, which is better, but still I was looking for 200+...

Here is my newest issue- two things I absolutely loved on the S4G were Program Monitor and Task Manager. Both are now gone (must have gone away with the bloatware). In Titanium Backup the two (along with all the other bloatware) are listed, but with a line through them. There is no way to restore these backups with lines through them. My second thought was to simply reinstall the apk, but when I do this all the phone says is 'Application Cannot Be Installed'. Any ideas on how to get these back? Thanks.

New rom being posted. V2.1. Has those 2 apps back plus extra and bugfixes.

Update:
I did the fota mod and WOW! Went from 33.1 mb to 290 mb!!
Amazing.
So, what does the fota files do anyway? Anyone know?

Can't install new apps from Google Play, "insufficient storage" message

Hi,
I installed the route 66 stock rom on my Verizon Galaxy S3, and now am getting the "insufficient Storage" error on Google Play when I try to install apps. I have lots of room on the internal and the external SD cards. I've tried clearing the data on Google play, but still won't work. Any ideas on how to fix it?

If you Google search insufficient storage space Google play there is some good info
Could this be your problem:

Not so many. I have lots of space on both the internal sd card and the external card.
I'm getting frustrated with this, considering wiping phone and starting from scratch, but no point unless I understand what's wrong.

Did you use lucky patcher on this app?

You have to deo-odex the app first, then install normally.

Fixed it
After trying a lot of things, I gave up, backed up everything with Titanium Backup, wiped my phone in recovery, and install the new Synergy Rom. Now works fine, and I can install apps fine. Don't know what was wrong, but just in case I installed Cache Fixer for future issues.

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

Apps2SD problem
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.

Anyone know how to install Apps to the SD card by default? :S
I've been using Titanium Backup to manually move my apps to the SD card.
I'm on CM9, Hefe KoD.

Can U try this?

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.

There is also a way via terminal to move cache to the sd card. It's been a while since I've needed to do that and that was on GB. If anyone is interested in the how, let me know.

roms take more space after being flashed
so to increase your memory you can uninstall unwanted system apps and other apps and after that boot into recovery and wipe cache partition and then reboot you will really have more free space
also
you are having space issues right??
dont you use sd card ??

If you do the correct wipes and install an aftermarket ROM, is should take up less space. Most aftermarket ROMs are quite a bit smaller than the stock ROMs. There are a few running around in this forum that are heavily bloated with stuff to make the Tab more media friendly, but these are the exceptions. With that being said, did you do a clean wipe prior to install? If not, that's the issue. There's some left over data in there. Also, the memory is partitioned into sections, one for the ROM and one for storage. Getting a SD would be good so you can store your backups there. Backups take up a lot of memory.

GUYS..... first of all thank you so much for taking the time to respond. this has been a thorn in my side for a while now.. i do indeed have an sd and prior to the switch from stock to cm10.2 i was able to employ the ext script to swap memory which worked well overall. i do not know of any viable way to employ any memory swap script or app thast works well with cm10.2 i have done a great deal of research and i have not seen anything.. im also not a noob but i do feel like on right now!!!! this is so annoying. here are my questions:
do you know of any app to sd applications that work with cm10.2?
do you know of anyway to install apps to the card?
as for the wipe.... yes I did wipe completely ( at least I thought I did) I wiped data, system, cache, dalvik, and then formatted system, cache, data then wiped then cleared dalvik again prior to rebooting. this was thorough and typically what i do when I flash.
im totally open to suggestions. as of now the tab is pretty much rendered useless because I cannot even update apps. it only sees 4.59gb of the onboard space and the entire 16gb of the ext card.
thanks !!!!!!!!!!!

right now there might not be any app which works with cm 10.2 cos it itself is not quiet stable right now
also to move apps to sd you can try app2sd script or any app which move apps to sd card on rooted phones

Internal Storage Filled With "System Data"

Hi all-
My GS3 internal storage is filling up. When I check with DiskUsage, it says there's 7230 MiB of "System data" and only 1250 MiB of free space. It won't let me click onto the system data to investigate.
Using Storage Analyser, it says I have used 2.2 GiBs and 9.84 GiB is free. But when I click on the little circle chart menu at the bottom it says I only have 1.2 GiBs free. What gives? Which one is right? Will wiping via CWM and reflashing CM 10.2 help? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks!

I only have this issue with the system/data folder filling up with duplicate apps. Seems like something just isn't quite right however. After I wipe everything and before I flash a rom I have 12gb available. Just checked and out of 16gb total I have 9.96gb still available. The backups shouldn't be on the internal but if by chance they are I would delete all if not most of them

You're simply having duplicate locations for media storage.
If you use a file Explorer, you'll notice the initial location of your files in data/media folder. Then if you click the 0 folder (data/media/0) you'll notice the exact same data is located there.
To get rid of it, you need to move everything you want to save off the phone, format the internal sd, reflash the rom, and move everything you backed up to the data/media/0 folder.
It switched when you moved from 4.1 to 4.3. It's actually reading the same data but twice. So you actually have a lot of space free, but your phone is reporting double the data.

I'm really sick of this problem. My phone is again alerting me that my internal storage is filling up, Disk Usage is showing system data of 7.266 GBs and 650 MB of free space. When going into the root folder "/system" it shows 10.36 GBs of free space. I figure its either getting read wrong of something.
Anyway, what would happen if I did "format /data" in CWM? Would I be able to boot back into my rom with a clean slate, or would I have to immediately flash a new ROM? Thanks.

When going into the root folder "/system" it shows 10.36 GBs of free space. I figure its either getting read wrong of something.
Anyway, what would happen if I did "format /data" in CWM? Would I be able to boot back into my rom with a clean slate, or would I have to immediately flash a new ROM? Thanks.

You'd still be able to boot into the same rom. It might not clear it though, to do a full format you need to wipe /data/media.
