Hi, I have not updated my phone in a while, I currently have cyanogenmod version (11-20140221-NIGHTLY-t769)(android version 4.4.2). I am planning on updating to newer versions of cm11 but I've had this one issue that has been bugging me for a while now. I think there is a problem with the storage on my phone. Whenever i try to download something it says "not enough space available". I am aware that some apps can not be moved to sd card but I am getting different reads when i check my phone storages. When i connect my phone to the computer it says (Internal storage 1.39 Gb totalsize, 920mb free) and (sdcard 7.38gb totalsize,2.78free) Is it normal to have 2 internal storages? I've been trying to resolve this issue for a while now but I do not know what the problem is. Below are some screenshots of what i am talking about:

Also, is it okay to delete the files listen from /clockworkmod?
Thanks in advance!!!
If you look at storage in cm the first one listed is where apps download and install. Clear app cache to make room.

Is there anyway of making it so that it downloads to sd card rather than internal
and is there anyway to force move apps to sdcard? Ive been trying link2sd but i heard there were problems with it. is it safe?

I think i really f**ked up. i downloaded Link2sd and moved one app. my phone experienced a lot of freezing so i uninstalled link2sd and downloaded app2sd. then i moved another app and now when i go into settings, the one app is on both my internal and sdcard???
For some reason it is reading my other internal storage as my sdcard meanwhile i have a sdcard with 7.38GB of free space. Please Help

Noticed similar threads going up in other device forums and I have the same problem myself. I bought the game for my g2x, I'm running Hawks MIUI port, the extra file download gets to 25% and it sends me back to my homescreen, doesn't continue with the download. Anyone find a fix?
Same issue. I am running CM7 nightly 179... I hope there is a work around...

Try unchecking Compatibility Mode is Spare Parts.
I downloaded the game last night, and I had the same issue. What worked for me was moving the game to the sd card and then restarting the phone; it finally worked after re-downloading the 250mb add-on. Pretty cool game, get ready for your thumb to start hurting though
works fine for me im on weapon 2.8
i downloaded the data and put it on my sd card though, i didnt download it through the apk.
fun game.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace, and a week or so ago I was trying to free up internal memory. I often have a low memory warning, due to the phone only something like 180mb internal memory. While looking to see what I could delete or move tto fix this, 30mb was suddenly freed without me doing anything.
I know it wasn't just the reading updating, as I was on low memory for weeks on end. Since, I have re-flashed a ROM (carbon Sunday by jusada if it helps) and I'm back on low memory.
I was wondering whether anyone knows why this would happen, and how I can get it to do it again.
All help appreciated

Can't answer your question, but a little tip for people suffering for low user space; download Link2Sd from Market. Google for tutorials.
I'm rooted so I can move apps to the sd, its just some (widgets) dont work on the sd, Ill have a look at partitioning thanks, I dont think it was the cache, thanks anyway though

apps2sd ? right ?!
..mmmh..probably wrong to say here, but..the apps moved to the external sd card are expecting to be slower then before, when were on the internal one?
app2sd or use sd-ext partitions is your way to fix lower internal memory problem
Isn't app2sd built into GB? Am I missing something? Im using CyanogenMod 7

Apps2sd is the process of moving app files and not data to SD card after boot. This still keeps around 1-5 MB on the phone memory and can be done without root on 2.2+
A2SD involves partitioning ur memory card and using it as phone memory. This is mounted before boot so it's faster. Even the dalvik cache can be moved here
I have a 160 MB phone memory and after partitioning and installing 230 apps, I still have 120 MB free
THANK me if this was helpful

You Can Surely Have the Maximum Internal Space by Installing Darktremore App2sd script and moving Dalvic Cache to sd-ext using Apps2sdGui.
Although your internal Memory will still be used but very little bit, and only for house keeping as Some Apps Require Some of Their Files to be copied on Internal Phone Memory.

Hello all, now that ICS update is coming out for our little Blaze, I'm sure there will be lots of devs. I'm not sure how the Memory is setup on the ICS Rom, but the current GB on our Blaze has a very limited "Internal SD Memory" (Around 1.3gig, I believe) to install apps. Might I make a suggestion to the devs to include script manager tweaks in the upcoming ICS Roms so that default storage for apps be pointed to the "External SD" where we have more memory? Thanks!

I know what you guys are talking about. But what I meant is if I was to download a large game that is over 1.4 gigs, it wont have enough memory to save on the "Internal SD". What you mentioned only works if you already have the apps downloaded.

I used an app about a year ago called s2e . I can't be 100% sure but it moved app and data to external. I came from a G1 which had no internal memory . that phone was great but limited on space . if its not available there might be a similar app. good luck

I'll make sure it gets attention from the TFQ team. I can do it easily but I'd have to wipe both partitions to guarantee that no side effects happen.

I'd be happy with that. As it is easy to back them up via PC anyways. Plus with the move to ICS, I plan of completely starting form scratch and re-installing all apps from source, no backups short of the ones that are not available anymore.
Could DirectoryBind work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
When we get source, we can rewrite the package manager to point to sdcard instead of mmc then you won't have to worry about an app and/or doing it manually...

Have you been making nandroid back ups ? How much is under "Misc" ? Looks around 700mb ? ( but the yellow maker is covering it up ):laugh:
Looks to me you need to do some house keeping to tidy up the storage space, easy enough to do.
What recovery are you using on the device ?
you've got OVER 2 gigs of app data folders on the internal there, open your file browser and look for folders of apps you've deleted and delete them, also remember YOU HAVE A MICROSD SLOT, you can add more storage for music and movies.
do any of your streaming apps keep a large "buffer", could try clearing app data.

Its the system partition that eats up the rest, as far as I know. That is why only just under

That's just the way it is. Kind of like when you insert a 32gb micro sd card you automatically lose nearly 4gb down to 29.7gb.
If you've been making backups chances are the cwm folder has a nice size file well over 1gb

I don't think trays how it works when I frost got it I believe the system file was around .5 to 1 gig maybe
So I doubt I would lose 4 almost 5 gigs from it
And I have and 8 gig microSD card now but I would love that 4 gigs back thats 3 movies...
Also I deleted a bunch a system files that no one ever needs so I have more free space
but damn I need it all back

Rooting has basically nothing whatsoever to do with the problem. Why does everyone think that just cause u rooted ur phone/ tablet now becomes mentally retarded?
I would look around in the system files. I had the same problem, there was this file idk how the hell got there and was like 4 gigs. Just try to locate the file and delete it.

Pretty sure you can go to a folder browser then couldn't u sort all them by size by bigger sizes descending. So what i mean is the biggest files would show up on top. Then you could look around and see if one of the bigger files is not needed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970961 here is another thread talking about pretty much the same thing. I agree with one of the posters, about just swapping the storage with the external sd card. I haven't personally had great luck with android 4.2.x, but there is a great script for p311x on xda that swaps them on ics and jb 4.1.x just fine. Its what I use, and also why im not running anything past 4.1.2.

Please check if the game needs to be installed in the internal memory. Most of the games need to be installed on internal memory.
Is ur phone rooted? if it is rooted, then you can download apps from playstore that can change the game locations from internal storage (after installation) to external SD card (like gl to sd)
please click on thanks if i helped.
