[GPE 5.0.1]Storage bug - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have a problem with the phone's memory. I installed GTA San Andreas ... did not work, so I removed the application. File does not exist, but the memory is still full. The second problem is that I installed an application on Google Play ... At the end of the installation I received a message that there is no space. The application is not installed, and disappeared 300mb memory. Does anyone know what the problem is?
Ps I add storage settings screen.

Yes, I found this anomaly too. My solution is to try to install some file explorer (I used ES file explorer) and if you have root, go to the /data/legacy/0 directory and manually delete all the useless content. I don't know why but a lots of stuff is not recognised while browsing the /sdcard content. If you don't have root acces, well than try a factory reset it should work.

In Android/obb I don't have any GTA files... All is deleted :/
And i don't have /data/legecy/0

Than I don't have any other tips, you should do a factory reset than. I hope this one will work for you.

Angry Birds save location (one more time...)

Apologies - I know this has been asked before but my problem is a bit different:
... a couple of days ago I had a crash and had to reinstall ROM. Everything was fine, but upon trying to restore Angry Birds (yes, again...) I can't for the life of it make it work. Supposedly the AB data folder is in /sdcard/data/data. However, after installing AB, playing one level and checking, there's nothing there!!! If I restore the data with QtADB the game exits before it loads...
Any ideas? Where on earth should I place my data before my gf kills me?
Thanks...
The savegame file is "highscores.lua", it should be placed in "/data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files".
You can't explore the "/data/data" folder with a common file manager. You need Root manager or something like that (or ADB's shell).
Do not forget to set the file's permission for read/write.
Apologies - forgot to say that I have a fully rooted phone and am using ES explorer. But, for some reason, as I said, /data/data is totally empty, and that's why I'm at a loss... And when I copy my previous AN backup folder into /data/data (including, of course, highscores.lua) the game crashes before it loads.
If I empty the folder again it runs fine, so it must be drawing data from some other folder??
Noone has any idea?
Smells like a full wipe, dammit...
ES File Explorer can't browse directories that require root afaik. You'll need one that can such as Root Explorer.
EDIT: Looks like ES does have root. You need to enable it in settings, under Root options.

I can navigate everywhere on both the mob's internal memory and the SDcard, so I guess it does have root support
On the other hand, /data/data doesn't seem to need root anyhow, but I do have access. The problem persists - AB *must* be pulling data from someplace else
removed
SimonVT said:
Nope, it's /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds, as has already been mentioned. If /data/data/ is empty for you, your file explorer does not have read access to it, as this is where all apps store data.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If a file explored doesn't have read access to a folder it can't even enter the folder, no?. Also, other folders under /data are populated. Finally, as I've mentioned I *can copy* an older backup (either through QtADB or manually, with ESExplorer) but then the game crashes.
[EDIT]Anyhow, I'm getting some weird crashes. Something is definitely wrong with the phone, so I'm doing a full wipe and will check later and get back to you...
Thanks for trying to help
What about the new amazon app store ad free version? Will I have to start from scratch?
I'll pay 99 cents to have ad free, but don't want to have to start all over.

That's a good question. I would assume it would install slightly differently versus the Android Market version as it would have to associate itself with Amazon meaning you would have to start over.

That would suck. Guess I'll wait and see if anyone can confirm or deny.
I did get rio, which is ad free and runs so much smoother on my underpowered aria.
someone told me ... and i also can confirm it does not erase your progress. it overwites the current version and saves data.
it tells u this when u install
nice!

[Q] Nexus S doesn't find new music and old pictures from before flashing.

Hello everyone,
i have a big problem with my Nexus S. A while ago i flashed from ICS to stock JB. After that the music apps didn't find any new Songs i put on the phone. I double checked if they were there with a root explorer and they were all there.
And all the pictures i took before flashing also still exist, but the gallery app doesn't show them.
After flashing to AOKP build2 the problem still persists.
Then i formatted the sdcard. Now it won't see any music files i put on it.
I tried SDRescan but it just says "Scanning: storage/sdcard0" for hours and nothing happening.
Can anybody help me with this problem? What can i try to get the media running again on my Nexus?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings
cokir
Edit: Logcat revealed the following everytime the mediascanner is started: Error opening directory '/storage/sdcard0/.android_secure/', skipping: Permission denied.

May be your memory card is formatted in Linux or root claimed ownership.... so that u don't have permission to access it.

So the mediascanner process runs with userpermissions? How can i fix the permissions of the sdcard? The .android_secure folder belongs to root but as far as i know thats normal.
No ideas? (I hope bumping is ok after a few days)
Hi.
I have the same issue here, except that it happened after I cleared data for media storage to force refresh (some new music files were not getting picked up before).
I've tried some media rescan application, tried flashing a later nightly (am on cm10) after clearing cache + dalvik, still no media nowhere, and same error message on location about media scanner which cannot access to .android_secure.
I'd anyone has any idea please....
I'm in a similar situation ... I flash ROMs with stunning regularity and never had a problem. Until now. My pictures all show in media gallery per normal, but my music will not appear in any music app including the stock Google app. I downloaded two different 'rescan SD card' apps and neither made a difference.
Any tips what next? I'm on Slim ROM 2.6 and all my music is in the default MUSIC folder
Thanks
A little update. I updated to 4.1.2 and the problem still persists. I'm a little desperate now. Is there nothing i can try? How can it be that the mediascanner process doesn't get permission to open the .android_secure folder?
Regards
Cokir
Same problem here. Players are no able to find music in sdcard0 and I can browse them only with root privileges.
When i connect with usb cable, i can see just some folders on pc (windows and linux both).
Can someone tell us the right permission for sdcard0, please? do you think changing them from root explorer can work?
Thank you guys

When updating certain apps I get "insufficient Storage" warning 64gb (40gb free stora

When updating certain apps I get "insufficient Storage" warning 64gb (40gb free stora
My phone is rooted with TRWP, no other mods. I am on the stock rom.*When I update my apps through the play store, certain apps like Facebook, Twitter, Pulse news reader and Flixter won't update and I get the insufficient Storage warning. I have the 64gb Sandstone Black model, global version and I have about 40GB of free storage left. I restored my (non system) apps and data with Titanium Backup. I am wondering if that could be the culprit. I can install new apps from the play store on my phone without a problem, and most of my restored apps will update just fine. So, I am confused why certain apps will give me this issue. I have over 200 apps installed and really don't want to install them one by one. Does anybody else have this issue? I searched everywhere but could not find anything, hence my post here.*
Any help is appreciated.*
Thank you

- This did the trick for me. I've done it on all my devices with this error and it's worked every time.
- I just used Root Explorer and navigated to /data/app-lib and deleted the (insert app name here)-1 folder and updated the apps again.
* Apparently there's an app that does this for you. It's called Insufixer.

[Q] Why can't I install this app? TwoDots, error -506

I've just moved from 4.4.2 to 5.0 on my Nexus 5 and used Ti to restore all my apps. It kept hanging on restoring TwoDots so I skipped it and installed everything else. Now I can't restore TwoDots from Ti and I can't install it from the Play Store (error -506).
I'm thinking I must have some kind of corrupt partial restore of the app but I don't know how to go about solving that. Have wiped cache/dalvik to no avail.
Having the same issue with Google Keep.
Came from 4.4.4 and onto 5.0 on my Moto G LTE. Restoring via Titanium Backup gives me the insufficient space error which is weird, because I have a lot of space for apps. Tried via Play Store and it returned a rare 506 error. Still looking for a solution.
Edit: Just solved this from my side by deleting the data folder of said application. In my case, it was com.google.android.keep which I got rid of via an app called System Cleanup. Hope this helps.

Hey Zyquil. I still have this problem n cant delete com.instagram.android while using System Cleanup. Any ideas how I can solve this?
Error 506
Same problem. I have tried all the above suggestions, including reboots, to no avail. It's happening for Titanium, GoSMS, Roboform & FxExplorer, while others of similar sizes install ok. All of them have been installed and working previously. Sometimes Play Store just crashes with these, or I get 'insufficient storage, manage apps to free space' when sideloading.
Go figure!

I reckon my problems were caused by using the Link2Sd app. I moved too many apps to sdcard. A factory reset and reflashing my ROM sorted the problem. Link2Sd is still an excellent app manager app and allows (amongst other things) linking phone storage apps to the sdcard to save memory space. Just use it cautiously.
If you use a root explorer, goto data/data, there are dead files in there under google music, or talk, delete them , then try to reinstall from play store, worked perfectly for me and killed the 506 error, these are from past error installs and Android thinks the app is still installed. I personally use root explorer and within all the actual blue file folders under data/data, the corrupt ones showed as white unknown files, if I helped hit thanks.... These are actually like leftover residual file fragments from a prior intall, that for some reason Android 5.0+ doesn't clean out, tombstones
thankz ...working (data/data/ com.whatsapp - deleted)

Simply funciounou me, just having to delete files corrupted by Link2SD worth it
I fixed it with sd maid, running the corps cleaner. I'm on lolipop.
I used this fix and it worked perfectly.
I too use link2sd and after a crash I could not reinstall several of my Apps.
I used root explorer as described and when I deleted the non-blue files in data\data folder I could install all my apps.

Exactly that!
I had Link2SD installed and had moved a lot of apps to the ext4 partition of my SGS4 with CM12.1. Now I changed my SD-card from 64 GB to 128 GB. I had backuped all these apps with Titanium, well, but I didnt delete all those links.
Effect was that restore with Titanium was not possible (forever the MsgBox "....blabla restore...". With Google Play I had this Error Code -506, which is nowhere described I guess.
After I deleted all those dead symlinks I could reinstall or restore the apps, only thing now: Titanium did the restore not to the internal system but to the external sd-card, at least told me so. Now I could move them through the systems app management to the internal system but I think this was not the most elegant way to manage.
same problem for me with few apps.
here my exprerience:
system cleanup do nothing
root explorer free edition can't browse data folder; pro version not buyed
es file explorer free edition has a root explorer but show an empty folder when browsing data
sd maid work great!
thanks @Aventura5
Thank you brother.

Wow! It worked like a charm! Thaaaaaank you! ??
FIXED. Got the same problem here. Trying to install new apps but it kept saying error 506. I'm a link2sd user and i was guessing that the problem came from this app. Just go to the settings>install location>select internal. It worked for me.
I found an easier way to fix this issue. If you have titanium backup installed, run batch mode and remove orphan data.
After that, install from playstore was a breeze.
Hit thanks if this helped you.

Link2SD completely messed up my phone

Alright guys I'm about to blow my top off here. The most recent Link2SD update completely messed up my entire phone.
For reference, I'm currently running an LG G3 D851 4.4.2, stock ROM and rooted. Everything was fine until recently when I started noticing a Play Store update app error "-110".
Not knowing what it was, I investigated, and found that my entire group of app installations have been completely screwed up.
1) First off, I can't install ANYTHING. No app, no nothing. I need to probably install an updated Link2SD to fix this nonsense...right? Can anyone direct me to how I would install the apk using ADB?
2) My mount script is broken and it's not working. It tells me "Mount script cannot be created. mount: Unknown error 150". As a result, my SD 2nd partition remains unmounted....which I think is the source of this entire problem.
3) Viewing my internal storage through DiskUsage, I've discovered that every single app I used to have installed has been "merged" into a single folder simply called "System data". Referenced through this photo here: http://i.imgur.com/ksukQGG.png . Instead of showing the individual folders, e.g.: Google Translate, Pocketcasts, etc, it just shows that big anonymous block of "System Data".
4) If I go to Settings -> Apps. Every single app shows up with "0.00b" as their app size.
HELPPPPP PLEASEEEE I will seriously monetarily tip someone if they can provide me with a solution to this.

Thank you so much for the detailed response. Unfortunately though, it looks like I already have the most recent version installed, 4.0.9? Would this solve anything by basically reinstalling it? I was hoping there would be like a 4.1 version that would fix the issue or revert changes or something.
Update:
Tried installing an app through ADB and it now shows me this:
WARNING: linker: app_process has text relocations. This is wasting memory and is a security risk. Please fix.
pkg: link2sd-4-0-8-multi-android.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
Any idea anybody? Like before, I'd be willing to donate to anybody who can provide me with the solution. Thanks!

Oh, I was trying to downgrade Link2SD in hopes that it would fix whatever happened with 4.0.9.
According to the about page in Link2SD, I currently have 4.0.9.
And haha thanks for the heads up...I'm really desperate though which is why I pulled that card out.

I can uninstall apps, but I can't install or update anything. That's why I was trying to install through adb instead, which unfortunately still doesn't work. When I open up Link2SD, it doesn't give me an option to reload, it only gives me the option to "Recreate mount scripts". If I click on it, it gives me the mount script error - "Mount script cannot be created. mount: Unknown error 150."

Is there any really important data on your installed apps? If I was you I would simply reflash the firmware and start from scratch instead of spending hours to find a solution. The point is that you don't know what you changed that your phone became like this. I have send a email to the Link2SD developer but I'm not sure if he can provide a solution.

I'm actually backing up all my app data as I'm typing this. The only concern I have though, is that my phone is actually on the stock recovery. I only rooted it because I didn't want to deal with the potential for something like this to happen (which would suck up all my time, haha). As a result, I can't flash anything. So if I decide to stock factory reset, would that clean the /system /data, and everything else that needs to be cleaned for my phone to work properly again? I thought that root (and potentially whatever screwed my phone) persisted through a stock factory reset, which would make trying to do that pointless.

I really don't know, if your root survives a factory reset. Probably it will. A custom recovery is really usefull as you can make complete nandroid backups

I suppose so, I'll have to make sure I can flash it properly though considering I'm finding it impossible to install apps right now. This is getting to be highly frustrating

Any progress here? Developer has answered my mail, but not offered any solution yet

Well, I solved the mount problem by formatting my SD card. But that didn't fix anything else unfortunately.
I also noticed a couple interesting things:
1) Android and Link2SD show my data and cache for ALL apps to be 0.00b. I know that's not true because I went to the /data/data/app directories and found the data exists.
2) I can use all my apps normally with no problem. that means all the files are there, and can communicate correctly(?)
3) I still can't install any app at all.
Next course of action: Completely disable link2sd's boot script perhaps? So what would that entail, deleting install-recovery.sh from /system/etc/ ? Anything else, or would that be good enough?
