Insufficient storage available.

Hi,
I have an Android device. I bought it from our local cellphone shop, a Cherry Mobile phone. name of the unit is Jelly. Its Android Version used was 4.2.2. I have 165mb of internal storage(17.88mb available) and 14.87GB(13.28GB available) of SD card. I've rooted it using FramaRoot. I'm getting this error when I download or install an application using Playstore and APK installer.
"Error downloading. Insufficient storage available".
I tried clearing the cache. I've put it's Preffered install location to "SD card". Default Write Disk to "SD card" . But nothing worked! I really need help!
I cant download anything! I tried to download Link2SD(a 3mb file) to fix but nothing! I've tried installing Lucky Patcher apk. but it said "Insufficient ....................." .. How do I fix this?

I also noticed this when I was running out of storage, even though there was enough space for apps.
Try deleting some more data in your internal storage, not the SD card, and it should work again.

Basically, if u download an apps from the Play Store, the apps will be stored first in the internal storage. After that it will automatically moved to SD Card if u have root and set ur device.
Does the app which u want to download larger than the available internal storage?
If that so, u should free some memory in ur device.
Otherwise, u could try to enlarge the internal storage of ur device, try to find it in other part of this forum corresponding to your device.

17MB internal is the problem. It can't download an app directly to the SD, it has to pass through the internal memory first.
Clear some space on the internal memory.
Also, try dialing *#9900# and clicking on 'delete dumpstate/logcat'. Might give you a few more MB's.

CM 12.1 Insufficient storage

Hi,
I am running cm12.1 latest release 2015-10-7 on AT&T HTC one x.
I am getting insufficient storage error when I try to install new apps from play store.
Internal storage is nearly full but external storage has much space.
Is there any fix for that?
Thanks.

Mysterious case of Insufficient Storage despite 5.08 GB of available space.

I'm using the Nobis NB09 tablet with Android 4.1.1. When attempting to download an app from the Google Play Store, I get Insufficient Storage error, despite 5.08 GB of available space and the app that I want to download is only 9.83 MB, so there is more than enough space to install it.
Available space reported in Storage:
Internal Storage
Available​66.24 MB​
Internal Storage
Available​5.01 GB​
Why is all this available space being ignored?
Why are there 2 sections for Internal Storage shown in Storage?

Thers this regular storage space and another space where you are supposed to install apps and you've seem to have hit the limit there . also an app that's only 10 MB mayoccupy much more after installation .(it need to store cache and all)
So you need to free space in the the first storage that has only 66 MB available .either delete some unwanted apps or move some apps to SD card or you can increase the limit for app installed space using Root access required apps.

After uninstalling updates for unneeded apps, storage is reporting 319 MB of free space, so much space was liberated.
The initial download size was 9.83 MB compared to 23.97 MB after installation. So it takes up 2.4x more space after installation.
Is there a way to resize the partitions as in changing the ratio of apps to regular storage?

You can make use of apps like link2sd but it requires root

Adoptable Storage Please help!

So I have been using adoptable storage for sometime now. On my Moto G 2015 I have had both a marshmallow rom and currently I am running Aospa 7.1.2 or something and again I need to use the adopted storage because of severe lack of space. And it works well for the most part. I do run out of storage still because some apps like to hide crap on what used to be internal storage but does not show up with a non root file manager. What I am looking for is an explanation of how android decides what gets saved where. Where did internal storage go? How do I still run out of space when apps should be saving data to my sdcard. I need a good explanation please go as detailed as possible I will look up crap I don't understand. Thanks.
