[Q] Free space problem

Hi!
I've got a problem with my HTC Desire.
Today I've found a new upgrade for my phone. I've downloaded it but when it tries to install the upgrade, it say that there isn't enough space in the memory's phone.
So I moved all the apps on the SD, but is still not enough.
How can I free some memory? I could delete the cache of the older upgrade or something else?
Or there's an app to check which app is still on the phone but I could move them on the SD?
Please, help me!

Do you have pictures and videos? If so, check if they are on the SD card and not on your internal memory. Cleaning your cache helps, and try deleting your text messages threads.
on a Samsung Galaxy S.

I've already moved all my photo on the SD card and I removed all the useless text messages... but how can I clean my cache?
I was looking for some app, but I found only apps that requires root, and I don't want to root my phone.
Thank you!

I can't believe I have to make an hard reset to install an upgrade!!
It's crazy!

GUYS I have two question
I will really appreciate it if you answered it ......
Q1:IF I already have android how can I upgrade my MALGDR from 1.1 to 1.3?
Q2:what is the best NAND rom for HTC HD2?
thanks for spending your time reading my Message

Not enough free space
I have a Samsung Captivate. I do not have Root Explorer. My phone has been rooted. I have Super Manager. I wanted to change a parameter in the settings.db file. I was able to do that on my desktop. I want to swap this new file with the old Settings.db file. The dbdata directory does not show up on my desktop. So I have tried to cut and paste the changed file which resides in the sdcard folder. So I need to go from that folder to where the orig Settings.db file resided. When I get to the point of pasting I get an error saying that I don't have enough free space. This file is only 57KB and I have roughly 12 GB of free space on SD card. 3.7GB internally. Any ideas how to correct the error.
Note: I don't have "Root Explorer" because I do not want to give Google Checkout access to my bank.

[Q] Offline Wikipedia (Leo's Wikipedia Reader)

Where I should put converted files? The wikiconvert made one folder ''wiki_prefix_like_enwiki_idx'' with ''segments'' and 3 files ''wiki_prefix_like_enwiki_1.lwk'', ''wiki_prefix_like_enwiki_2.lwk'', ''wiki_prefix_like_enwiki_3.lwk'', when I put them on my sdcard the application give me terminate ,,No wikipedia detected. Please load a wikipedia offlina on sdcard. More info in [page adress]. Wikipedia english language is 8Gb''
My wikipedia dump is polish.
Thanks You!

I am still trying to get this to work as the screenshots suggests it should be a really nice reader.
Does anyone know more about this?
Here is a link btw. http://www.leobueno.net/PaginaProyectoSoft.php?id=WIKI_ANDROID

Sry, for double post but i just managed to get that thing to work!
Its easy, just copy all generated files including the idx folder and the "wiki.tag" file to the root of your sd card.
Works like a charm.

Thanks for figuring that out, I've been wondering where to put files for the Leo reader. Can I ask if you've found it's possible to put some or all of the lwk files somewhere other than on the sdcard? Alas I don't have 8GB free on my sdcard for the English files, but I could put most of them in /mnt/emmc on my nook color (CM7).

On my sd card I have:
1. pages-articles.xml
2. segments
3. wiki_prefix_like_enwiki_1.lwk
4. wiki_prefix_like_enwiki_2.lwk
5. wiki_prefix_like_enwiki_3.lwk
Still does not works...
How can I get the "wiki.tag" file?

I just put all files the converter generated on the sd card. Try converting the dump again and keep track of all the files and directories it generates. Those belong on the sd card.
I have found a better solution yesterday, though:
The Aard Dictionary Reader can be used to read the wikipedia as well. Formatting is a lot better than with the leobueno reader - in fact it looks exactly like the original wikipedia. It also includes tables, math formulas and a few images wich show rendered content like the periodic table - all in the exact way it looks on your desktop.
Its also possible to load multiple dictionarys (e.g. more than one wikipedia language, wikiquotre and wiktionary) and search through all of them at the same time.
Converting xml-dumps is only possible with linux at the moment, but you can download converted versions in many languages directly from thir site.
You can get the free and open source .apk here.

i have no idea where to type: "wikiconvert "your downloaded and extracted xml file" -owiki_prefix_like_enwiki -n" to generate .lwk files, im on WinXP, do i put it in run or in command prompt?
Download pages-articles.xml.bz2 from "url" and extract the xml file using a compressor tool like 7zip.
Wikiconvert tool
uncompress this file in the same folder as the xml and type:
wikiconvert "your downloaded and extracted xml file" -owiki_prefix_like_enwiki -n
In some minutes you get some wiki_prefix_like_enwiki*.* files. Copy to the sdcard of your phone and run the wikipedia reader.
There is no problem having several wikipedias in your sdcard.
Edit: I got it to work! i downloaded a different wikiconvert zip which didn't contain the .exe file no wonder i cant execute to generate the lwks, all is good now

you get the wiki.tag file automatically after conversion using wikiconvert. Its better to run the batch file provided in the zip(only after editing the batch file so that the file names of the wikidump is consistent). I think u will get the wiki.tag file only if you use -n as given in the example:
wikiconvert "your downloaded and extracted xml file" -owiki_prefix_like_enwiki -n

Just tested this on the recent wikipedia dump. The wikiconvert executable crashes at 96.57% every time.

if you are using external sd card for storing the wikipedia then follow it here:
some Chinese Android phones have small internal storage, below than 2 gb mostly, if you want to store apps in External sd cards like this one. with English Wikipedia almost greater than 9GB you must store those files on external device & due to the android limitaion you can't install apps to external drives. you must install it to the internal phone memory or internal phone storage. to save it in external drive plz follow the steps.
1. install GL to SD app from the play store.
2. open it & click options then select move data to sd & select an app you want to move to sd.
3. now back, move the folder in which the converted wikipedia files are & copy it to your external sd card folder data/ & that apps folder which you have moved to sd via GL to SD app.
4 now open GL to SD click mount. & open the leo's wikipedia reader.
Make sure you have rooted phone & the wiki.tag file is copied to the root of external drive.
i have successfully done it with my Qmobile Noir A6 {Rooted}. {MediaTek Chipset} {Running Android 4.0 ICS}
i love fastwiki but that app mostly crashes all the time when you are searching articles. fast wiki has night mode & more options too. both are good try it & make a choice of your own. By the way its my 1st post in XDA forum. sorry for my bad English.

Issues with Titanium Backup to extSdCard (nVidia Shield Tablet)

Hello all!
I'm not sure if this has come up yet with anybody here, and I didn't see a post referencing it. I just rooted my Shield Tablet and
installed Titanium Backup. When I went to the preferences to change the backup folder to my external SD card it told me that
it was read-only and wouldn't allow me to use it at all.
I just want to save anybody else in a similar situation some time. I'm unable to link things currently but all the credit goes to
mateenf in the Note 3 Dev Forums for posting this fix:
mateenf said:
1. Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions
2. Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
3. Add an additional group definition for this permission...<group gid="media_rw" />
4. Save the changes to the file.
5. Restart.

I would also add that you must mount the partition as R/W first or you will not be able to save the edit.

I had some issues with the SD card as well. Now that you have root access go to the play store and install SD fix and netapp sd fix. Install them both and run them. I started with netapp SD fix and it said it worked but only certain apps got the right permissions. After i also installed the SD fix (kitkat) Both of them said status of good to go. And now all apps worked with the SD card. Be sure to also use the Root checker app to verify that your root is sticking.

If you have your Shield or Shield Tablet rooted, I would suggest installing Xposed Framework and then installing the "HandleExternalStorage" module. That will give you back read/write access to external storage. I'm able to read/write to my 128GB Micro SD in my Shield and Shield Tablet and to my 64GB card in a memory card reader using an OTG cable with no issues.

Just stumbled upon this post and appreciate the information! Have an S5 and was wondering why I couldn't use my extSDcard for backups. Seems ridiculous to be limited to internal storage... One simple line of code and all is working flawlessly.

[Q] Lollipop: SD Card Write for Legacy Apps

Hey Guys -
Amongst other devices, I have a rooted Nvidia Shield Tablet which I primarily use for gaming (of course) and love. Recently, I upgraded to Lollipop and soon after even completely reset the tablet by reapplying the recovery image, then upgrading to Lollipop via OTA (since recovery files still haven't yet been updated.)
There's just one main issue I cannot find a solution for: I have many legacy apps / games and for some of them need to have SD Card write access. Take for instance "Star Wars - Jedi Academy." It's a paid app and when downloaded installs a small APK as well as a folder with the Demo version of the PC game's files. The app says if you copy the retail version files to a folder and point it to them, it will play the full game and does - however - these files are 3.5gb therefore I copied to a folder on my SD. When I open the app/game and point it to the SD Card folder (which it sees), it says the target isn't writable.
When Lollipop first came out, I know many apps needed to be upgrade to be able to write to the SD card - due to Storage Access Framework I believe. They must know that some legacy apps probably may never get updated. How are we to use these? I'd think the fix would come in one of the following forms:
- Xposed Add-on (Installer/Framework still not compatible with Lollipop, though )
- Play Store App - Non-official workaround like ones offered for KitKat
- Lucky Patcher modification?
- Some other method which may require root
- A base Android setting I've overlooked
So... does anyone know a method which is currently out and working? Thanks!

I recently wrote a post about this. Tl;dr you need to reformat your card as ntfs to get it to work, and then do some craziness with the Google Storage Access Framework on command.

Wait a second. Can't you write a simple app like SD fix to repair the way the SD card is accessed?

Not sure it will solve your problem, but when I first upgraded to Lollipop I could not write anything to my sd card. Someone else mentioned that if you install Folder Mount, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount, upon first launch it would recognize the issue and offer to fix it. I tried it (used Folder Mount on my old Hisense Sero Pro 7 for a long time so I trust it), and sure enough it works great. Then just uninstall it once you've rebooted. End of problem for me...

Easy fix. If you have root use SD Card Fix by NextApp
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
Gives you read write back to your ex SD.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

this fix did it for me without installing any app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44370296#post44370296

Wow - Thanks for all the replies guys! I got it to work!
After reading each, I decided to first try w.0.o.t's suggestion which is a direct but simple edit of a system file instead of installing an app for which I don't know what it does exactly. The example in the link he sent was a bit different as it was for 4.3, so here's what I ended up doing to make it work for 5.0:
1. Opened Root Explorer Pro on my tablet
2. Browsed to the file "/etc/permissions/platform.xml"
3. Copied it to the root of my internal storage (sdcard0) for backup
4. Held down touch on it and choose to Edit in Text Editor. It asked if I wanted to mount volume as RW to which I replied yes
5. Located the section "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" and made the edits listed in the "EDITS" section below these steps
6. Saved file, held touch on filename again, went to permissions, and verified that it was set to "644" - it was
7. Restarted tablet
EDITS
Original Data in permissions.xml
Code:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
</permission>
Edited Data in permissions.xml What I changed the above values to...
Code:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
Notes when editing:
- Make sure that you change "r" to "rw" on the first listed group - may easily be missed when coming above two
- When typing extra line, my tablet auto-corrected the word "gid" and changed it to "god" without me noticing. After rebooting and it not working, I went back and saw the error, fixed it, rebooted, then it worked
To test, I opened FX File Editor and browsed to a file on my SDCard which I previously could not delete. This time, I was able to delete it without issue
Thanks again guys!

glad you sorted it out.

No root is needed.
It requires a computer, and probably for you to eject your SD card from your shield and insert it into the computer in a different way, so it's recognized by Windows Explorer.
So you plug in the SD card as mentioned.
Open it up in Windows Explorer. (This usually comes up when you insert the card, but if it doesn't you can usually open the Start Menu or Start Screen and type Explorer to find it.)
Copy everything you want to save out of the card.
Right click in an empty space, then choose Format...
Format the thing as NTFS. Turning off Quick Format probably won't hurt. Don't bother with any other options.
Cross fingers. Try the card again.

I'm sorry I should have clarified, I know how to and have formatted the SD card, I was referring to the fiddling around with the Google Storage Access Framework on command. Sorry for the confusion.

No luck whatsoever. I'm getting the same issue as the original poster. I've tried with both ES File Explorer and FX and Documents crashes as soon as I select the SD Card. The SD card is in NTFS format, would exFAT format make a difference?

I have tried using ES File Explorer on my LG G3 running Android 5.0.1 and I was able to write to the SD card. So at this point its an issue with the tablet, which is immensely infuriating since I can't install games to the SD car properly, which is the main thing this tablet is for isn't it?! I really want to play some Hearthstone on it!

You know, at this point, any change in format might make a difference. I'm scratching my head as to why you need to explicitly provided Storage access to ES File Explorer, maybe it just no longer assumes it has the permissions (stock Samsung apps are okay with writing anywhere and preliminary documentation about OEM installed apps said the same thing).
The good news is that I've never destroyed an SD card by formatting formatting it. Go nuts. Try things other than what I suggested... At this point there's a good chance I'm missing something. And I'm sorry for botching my suggestions.
Here's an idea. Between switching formats and maybe allocation sizes (I'm leaning towards trying the smallest one), try formatting your SD card in the system's Storage settings.
Here's another: try the SD Formatter application available here. Raspberry Pi SD cards are sometimes as cranky as Shield ones.
http://www.raspberrypi.org/help/noobs-setup/

I got it to work! I used the SD Formatter you suggested, although it only let me format it to FAT32. I did see some other threads though that said something about renaming the SD card too, so I decided to rename the volume label to "Shield_SD", and I'm guessing that this is the problem, as I never named the SD card. I noticed also that on my LG G3 that the external SD card had a name that was a bunch of random characters, but I could write to it.

[MOD][SWAP internal SD with external SD][SM-G355HN]

First why:
When I got this phone I was disappointed with fact that primary storage isn't switchable and free user data space is approximately 2.2 GB. Which means that all application data goes to internal storage so it is impossible to use apps like Need for Speed, Navigation app, ShowBox and others. I believe you all find that annoying.
After I saw @Dhruvit Pokharna topic I started to poke a little bit over XDA and I noticed that this was done before ( back in 2012 ) and with various Samsung phones. So I decided to change and adapt script for our phone. Original script was created by @mattiadj from whom I still waiting for permission to change script and to publish it. But I'am going to do it anyway.
What the script do:
It swipe internal sd (/storage/sdcard0) with external micro sd (/storage/extSdCard) and viceversa.
"With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff"
required:
- root
- custom recovery
- kernel with init.d support
- BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson
- swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN
How to and why:
Before installing swap if you moved some apps to sd move it back to phone to avoid conflict of course.
1. Root your phone first
2. Install custom recovery *(here or here)
3. Make a backup. Just in case of zombie attack *
4. Install kernel with init.d support *(here or here)
5. Install BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson.zip (flashable provided below )
6. Install swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN.zip (flashable provided below)
7. Why * because you have choice
That's it. Your external sd is internal now and you can enjoy your big internal memory.
If you want to reverse it simply go to /system/etc/init.d delete 11extsd2internalsd and reboot your phone.

Tutotial is simple. Step by step.
I don't see reason why you can't use this if your Phone has same spec as mine .
Check with root explorer following :
/storage/sdcard0
/storage/extSdCard
/dev/block/vold/179:129
If this is it you're good to go..
And for your existing game data just copy it after at proper place
Here is whole script:
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:129 /storage/sdcard0
sleep 30
mount -o bind /data/media /storage/extSdCard
chmod 777 /mnt/extSdCard
sleep 10
chown 1023:1023 /storage/extSdCard
chown 1000:1000 /storage/sdcard0

Install applications from play store goes to default internal memory without problem.
When you have downloaded apk from some other site only way for now is to copy it to /data/app than change permission and owner and install it from there. I still didn't figured it out why is that only way for download and backuped apks.
Regarding data app I think you mean what was asked in second post. If you used link2sd or some similar app after swaping just check are data and obb are stored under folder /Android in your external SD so that you could use your saved apps resources.

Hi!
File Commander shows the swap (a lot of memory as device memory) and a little amount (the internal, as sd card memory), but when I get into app administration it only shows the small amount of memory as the avaible for applications, I've tried downloading some apps after the process just to see if that amount was static but it keeps going down with every app, so I guess it isn't working, or only games and apps which use large amounts of memory are saved at the external storage?
Edit: I can't neither nstall apps directl from the storage, just from the play store.
Thanks! :good:

Thanks! :good:

I see, just installed a game and it's working, thanks!
I found something, I don't know if it is a bug or me doing something wrong, any app that messes with the identity of the phone doesn't seems to work. I've tried with "Tablet Metrics" module with the xposed framework and Rom toolbox lite, also doesn't work changing the device id.

Thanks alot. I love this

Answer to the trouble is in title. If you want to revert it go to /system/etc/init.d and delete 11ext2int.

Well, i already did it, ty Revert works very good
But i wanted to know what i can make wrong. I mean i did everything as it wrote in title. But maybe such fail was already corrected by some user.
And also free space was the same for card and phone memory. i mean if free memory on phone is 200mb, then on sd card its also 200mb.

If you looking in settings storage you will see that. It's the way it is because I couldn't swap whole data partition. I only swap extSdCard with legacy sdcard0 or internal memory. Swapping mmcblk0p22 with mmcblk1p1 wouldn't work because p22 is fst ext4 and p1 is vfat.

app installisation error
Y300-0100 said:
First why:
When I got this phone I was disappointed with fact that primary storage isn't switchable and free user data space is approximately 2.2 GB. Which means that all application data goes to internal storage so it is impossible to use apps like Need for Speed, Navigation app, ShowBox and others. I believe you all find that annoying.
After I saw @Dhruvit Pokharna topic I started to poke a little bit over XDA and I noticed that this was done before ( back in 2012 ) and with various Samsung phones. So I decided to change and adapt script for our phone. Original script was created by @mattiadj from whom I still waiting for permission to change script and to publish it. But I'am going to do it anyway.
What the script do:
It swipe internal sd (/storage/sdcard0) with external micro sd (/storage/extSdCard) and viceversa.
"With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff"
required:
- root
- custom recovery
- kernel with init.d support
- BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson
- swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN
How to and why:
Before installing swap if you moved some apps to sd move it back to phone to avoid conflict of course.
1. Root your phone first
2. Install custom recovery *(here or here)
3. Make a backup. Just in case of zombie attack *
4. Install kernel with init.d support *(here or here)
5. Install BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson.zip (flashable provided below )
6. Install swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN.zip (flashable provided below)
7. Why * because you have choice
That's it. Your external sd is internal now and you can enjoy your big internal memory.
If you want to reverse it simply go to /system/etc/init.d delete 11extsd2internalsd and reboot your phone.
