I have installed Cyanogenmod 7.2 to my Samsung Galaxy i5801 and it seems to be working OK, mostly. I am having to try to reinstall several of the apps I had previously but each time I try I get a message that there is insufficient space to install.
I have checked the reported space and it seems I have 0 internal storage and 14GB external storage. I have tried to change the storage location for downloaded apps to both internal and external with no difference.
Any suggestions for a solution? I have tried searching the forum and, although I see other posts asking similar questions there don't appear to be any answers.

You can try to reflash the rom or you can partition your SD card and use data2sd.
The problem with the install location is, that you need to have free space on the internal storage in advance.
The app is first downloaded into a container on the internal storage, and then installed (at least partly) to the internal storage. So you should have at least appSize * 2 of free space.
Another app you could try is Link2SD. It moves mostly everything of an app to the sd-card. But for that you need to partition your card. Just google for that app

If you are using Marcellusbe's build then Link2SD should work. Just ignore the error and reboot the phone.

Ok so i finally installed kyrillos' rom 9.3
now i've searched around for how to install apps in SD and came across the app2sd scripts which are a little complicated then i thought. How can i install apps in my SD , is there any easier way to do that? like an app?
Also i would be installing quite a lot of stuff like 100+ games / programs etc. Got a 16 gig card so will be installing lots of apps. Will that make the phone slower or something like that?
I would appreciate any help i can get
You can try Link2SD. It's an app which provide the same feature as App2SD. I never use it though.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=fr
There is also the G3MOD kernel which provides a customizable App2SD.
Thanks alot i'll try that out
Kyrillos already have hybrid app2sd which instal app directly to Ur sd card partition.. And consider it asp internal memory..
If u want to dump Ur data also in sdcard them instal kmapp and choose data also to be gone in sdcard... And enjoy

Hi!
I recommend you use Link2SD also. In options of the program mark checkbox "Auto link", then all newly installed applications will be automatically moved to SD card. Useful feature Link2SD is moving to SD widgets.
Thanks all of you guys.
I got apps2sd kyrillos' script working finally. The partition in the memory card was causing problems. Sorted out by making partition via the CWM.
working great now. Oh and btw there is an awesome ap called ZDbox which can help you move apps to the memory card aswell which is kinda neat too. But still i prefer kyrillos' awesome script which automatically does that. I had like 150mb and i install some programs and games and all it took was like 5 mb xD

What about widgets? Can you move them with Kyrillo's script to sd card?
can you give me a guide to what you have done? also on kyrilllos' 9.3, installed some apps and running out of internal memory. i think my partition isnt working ( 4gb card, 1gb partition) properly.....

The apps2sd makes the phone think that external sd partition is part of the internal drive, so i assume it should make it work.

Backup your data from SD card, then format it from the phone. Then reboot into recovery menu (CWM) and scroll down to miscellaneous and from there use "make a partition" command and select 1 gb
simple as that. Then use the instructions given by kyrillos on this thread to install apps2sd script

Hi,
After searching a lot here and other place, I didn't find the solution of my problem.
I have 8gb card.
1st break up
6GB - FAT32 - Primary
rest - FAT32 - Primary.
Link2SD is not able to mount.
Displaying in storage info as - "SD Card 2nd Part." Not Mounted.
------------------------------------------
2nd try, with another breakup.
6GB - FAT32 - Primary
1.2GB - EXT2 - Primary
60MB - L.Swap - Primary
rest - Unallocated.
From Link2SD, I m able to see that sdext2 is mounted.
So for a demo purpose, I installed an application, The auto linking starts but get fails. Not able to create link /bla/bla/ - I/O error.
I did mount that location as RW with root explorer, no luck.
Please let me know what to do and how to resolve it.
Hi
What app did you use to format the sd card?
When i format my sd card using the cwm, i have to format the ext particion using easeus to ext2 particion, witch is the format that the stock rom suports, when i did that, i go to the app, select ext2 and reboot the device, that does the trick

Hi psicop,
Thanks for your reply, I used MiniTool.
Please suggest how/what to do..
I partitioned my sd with CWM and used A2SD, and it works fine.
Maybe you could try to partition it with CWM?

Link2SD automatically moves all files in SD. Its seems better that A2SD. Correct me if I m wrong.
Also, please tell how to flash recovery to CWM ? I downloaded 1 click recovery and installed the v5.0.2.8 , at the time of flashing, it display failed.
Please direct me from where you did that...
Please help someone, my phone memory is full now... i can also add person to my gtalk or y! messenger....
Do you have clockworkmod recovery installed?
If so, partition your SD from there, and if I'm correct, go to Link2sd, and choose ext4 as partition format... worked for me after numerous fails with other tools...
Edit: search for a tutorial to install CWM. That's how I installed it...

Apps in SD not working
I dunno if its relevant in this thread, but i couldnt find the answer anywhere else.
I partitioned my 8gb class 10 sd card and installed link2sd and all was fine. I created links for most of my apps and everything was fine, until I had to remove my sd card for some data transfer. Now my apps that were shifted previously are not working. For your information I use CM11 in my Galaxy ace.

The problem got solved, when I mounted the script again and did a reboot. When the phone boots, link2sd has to update all the links. There is an option available for this in the settings. Anyways thanks :good:
Hello! I think that needs another topic.
A small question about the problem with SD card on the p5100.
As of 4.1 or 4.2 google has introduced the 'cool' feature - multi-profile system.
Okay, everything is good, but with this 'cool' feature they have changed something with SD cards. Now internal memory is divided to the internal memory and internal SD-card which is considered as an external SD card. All apps are installed there, and my external SD card (32 gb) is now useless. Ofc, I can explore it on a file explorer, but the system thinks it is the second SD card and don't want to move any apps there.
And that's the problem. All apps are instaled on the internal-external SD card and the free-space is.. You know.
I can't update my apps, I can't download new apps - no memory alert.
Cyanogenmod nightly 10.2
So, is there any way to fix it, like Samsung has done to SGS3?
It's getting everything out of me.
On my phone everything is ok, but on the tablet.. :/
And please don't say google it.
I'm searching for this fix for.. months. Can't find anything so posted here.

Already tried.
"App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your Device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to your SD card.
That's the problem.
Apps are already installed on the SD card but the wrong one.
Anyway, the emulated SD card has 10 GB free space, the 'proper' SD card has 25GB free.
When I try to update something on G Play, or install any app from my explorer - error, no enough free space.
Oh come on.
i.imgur.com/hWzliZS.png
Where is that "no enough free space"?
For a 200 KB update?!
/edit:
And I think that 'canceling the emulation' of the internal SD card will do a lot for me.. But how. :/

I don't see any app called 'root & clean master'. Anyway can't install any app because I 'don't have enough space'.
Check your internal memory using a pc and see exactly what you have stored there. Over 10GB should be enough for a 200KB update. I suspect something is wrong with your tablet.

You cannot move or install apps to the external sd card. Only the internal storage. There are methods if you are rooted. Read down the forum topics. There are a few threads discussing this. But stock tablets do not install apps to the external sd card.

Then use this partition to move all your apps using link2sd...

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 executed your instructions from "HOW to root & install cwm recovery by androsamace" of the XDA post with success:

what is the partition type for the second partition on your card link2sd will only work on ext2 ext3 or ext4
It's ext4 and in the app link2SD I chose ext4 also.

I installed X-sam's Rom. And the error "no efficient storage problem" is no more. Before the app Link2SD plus update would give the error.
But after the ROM update the error is gone. =)

Going to give Root External 2 Internal SD now my problem is gone.. =)
I installed the APP Root External 2 Internal SD from Android play store.
The steps mentioned in :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-young/general/swap-internal-sd-card-external-sd-card-t2817853
At first I did not see a change like my internal memory being swapped with external,if I look into settings/storage.
My internal storage is still about 1GB free and my external is about 24GB.
I found out that I deleberately have to press the checkbox"At boot **" two times!, the box right of the button "External > internal".
The checkbox is default already checked, but is not active!!!!
Only after doing that, I saw in my Android phone settings/storage, that both internal and external are both about 24GB.
That indicates that my Micro SD is being used as internal storage. After another reboot my internal is 24GB and my external is about 1,2 GB. Everything is a-ok!
I tested it with large APP's like "Plants vs zombies 2" which is about 400MB big. The game could be played without problems!
Just AAAWWESome! :highfive: to you r2dak!
Internal storage is used even if the APP internal 2 external is running. Using Link2SD paid version to move extra Megabytes off my precious 1.5GB internal storage towards my Micro SD.
I installed a lot of APPS, and still got 1,1GB internal memory free ! :laugh:
