So I previously ran into issues with Link2SD not recognizing my 2nd partition, so I eventually reformatted it.
However, I've now run into issues with being unable to install any applications, as well as my system data showing up as one massive single block instead of the individual applications - http://i.imgur.com/ksukQGG.png.
Looking deeper, Android itself (and Link2SD for that matter) both report my app data as 0.00b for every single application. However, I know the applications are working because I've been using them. I also know the app data still exists because I went to the exact directory (/data/data/app) and found that the individual app data files were all still there.
So I guess my issue now is how to link the app data back to the app itself? And I would like help figuring out how this happened as well...
Edit:
So here - Aldiko definitely should have data and cache, but it shows 0 - http://i.imgur.com/QBWznRD.png
And this is the error that I get if I try to use the default Android Move2SD option (the original one), or if I try to install an app - http://i.imgur.com/yr2GoUW.png

i have clicked the following:

i can sure that i have enough free space for new apps,
but when i tried to install apps, it said there is not enough space on my phone.
What happen?
i rebooted my phone, and successfully installed one apps,
but when i tried to install another apps, it said the apps have not been installed.
and it didn't install the apps for me.
What happen??
can anyone help?
After you've rebooted, how much space is free (look at "info" in s2e)? Enough?
I've had a couple of instances where apps have downloaded but not installed. Normally changing between WiFi/mobile data and/or market/appbrain seems to fix it. Haven't really paid much attention, but I think I may have been on WiFi when it hasn't worked.
I am getting the "Low on space" warning and a whole slew of processes that force close on power-up.
I zapped all the large apps I did not care about, cleared the cache from most apps and the task manager summary page is reporting this:
Programs: 253MB/1.87GB
Personal data: 127MB/127MB
Internal SD: 2.66GB/13.03GB
External SD: 6.28GB/7.39GB
The RAM Manager is reporting this:
RAM: 150MB/304MB
I cleared the call logs, text messages, Droid stats and I have a reasonable (approx 100) number of contacts.
The offending system process seem to be Media Storage at 123MB.
Besides this one, my largest apps are Google Earth (14MB), nDrive(7.6MB), Skype. I cleared the cache on all of them.
I have a SGS Vibrant running plain unmodified, non-rooted Froyo.
Any one knows how I can:
1- List the content of that "Personal data" partition to confirm if it actually is the media Storage that hugs the partition space ?
2- Clean-up the Media Storage content ?

Ended up trying to clear messages, contacts, call logs, etc. None of the deletions made a real big dent. Once I was backed up, I just cleared the memory/data from the media storage 2.0.
Once that was done, I had plenty of space again. Weird.
I ended up doing a factory reset.
I am still wondering what caused the situation, since after re-installing all my stuff (including calendar & contacts), I am at 8.43MB out of the 127.
I will keep an eye on it to see if it happenned all of a sudden of if it grew over time. The only thing I did out of the ordinary recently was to test GPS logging applications. They all logged in a file on my external SD, so unless they leaked some temp files it should not be that.

I have seen references to a similar problem, but no resolution that has worked for me (or many others)... just a lot of dead end discussions.
My rig:
HTC Desire
LeeDroid 3.07
A2SD+
I had moved a few apps to SD just as an experiment to see how it affected my internal storage space. After doing that I am unable to update any apps, or install new ones. Some apps are no longer recognised by the Market as being installed even though they're in my app drawer and I can use them.
When I try to update or install an app, after accepting permission I see the download icon appear briefly (1-2 seconds) in the notification bar and then it disappears...
Things I've tried:
Clearing Market cache and data
Deleting files from .android_secure (this broke a lot of apps)
rebooting countless times
trying over and over again to install and/or update
My next step is to just wipe and start again, but I'm loath to do this unless I absolutely have to and would prefer to find a solution...
Any help is appreciated!
make sure your time and date is correct
I've had the same problem on my Desire. What I had to do to fix it was to reformat my SD card (specifically the ext partition).
Make sure you back up all your SD card data before doing this. I hope it helps.

I am having this problem right now.. weird..
tried via wifi and 3g.. cant download anything. I have more than 750 MB of space free
I'm also having this problem. If anybody could help it would make my day I updated to the newest market, wiped all the caches (dalvik, market, etc). I don't know what else I can do. I have 751 megabytes free for apps.
Main question:
I was wondering if there is a way to recover/undo the sd-ext formatting and restore it.
How it happened:
first i changed the status of many apps via link2sd, i chose create link, apparently at this point i had no damn idea how to use link2sd correctly. I then rebooted the phone, and all of those apps i did that to poofed out of existence (became generic andy icons and were unable to be opened, even link2sd) except for a few. then today i formatted the sd-ext in recovery mode and the phone basically went and got reset to the base rom i installed, cyanogenmod 7.2 rc0-lg-vm670-bobzhome-11182011. I did not CREATE LINK my IOU app or NOTES. these are the 2 apps i need back, i am having problems recovering iou, as notes had a recent auto save file.
after i wiped the sd-ext, i went into app management in the android settings menu and saw an entry for the app im trying to recover, but it was 0.00 bytes. so i went on my phone browser and downloaded the iou app. it didn't look like it was doing anything but when i came back to it an hour later it installed the iou app successfully, but with none of my data, the 0.00 entry also disappeared. Reinstalling link2sd, didn't do anything. I haven't done anything further.
I also have no market app icon to open, i had an old google play version on the sd card (Play v3_5_19.apk) but it keeps crashing, and my screen won't lock.
I'm only making a a big deal about this because the iou app was keeping track of about $400 worth of transactions between me and my girlfriend.
TL;DR: I need to restore an app's data, because i deleted the data when i wiped the sd-ext.
IOU - debt manager by S. Tubin
same ad HD drive recovery, if you didn't write some other things on SD card it might be done, use with your PC some software for recovery and and an SD reader
i tried r-studio. it couldn't see the 2nd partition. is that where sd-ext is located? or is it on the primary?
next time im going to remove the sd card and place it in a card reader instead.
Try linux recovery from disk internals
there are several app to see 2nd partition too,, like linux reader, ext2explore, etc
Main problem not solved but this other problem was: ok. ive gotten a new sd card. 16gb sandisk 4class.
partitioned it with 2048mb / 16gb. no swap file.
installed gapps: "CyanogenMod 7.1-2.x 2.3.5-7 20110828 (Google Talk with Video Chat Add-On)"
still cant get incoming calls (was a problem when i posted OP but i wasn't aware) or screenlock. and i can't shopkick anymore UNLESS i connect to the store's wi-fi (Target guest wi-fi), I am guessing this is a GPS problem? Google maps works tho.
about me not being able to get incoming calls: i can see their call in the call log after the call. my phone does not ring. i may get a vmail if they leave one. they get the vmail message immediately after 3 rings.
final edit: did a recover reset. can get calls and lock screen, now i just need to restore IOU.
here is what I have:
I recovered some files from my 4gb sd card:
Root\data\tubin.debts\database\debts (9 kb, last modified on the day I accidentally formatted my phone) This files seems to be the one that has the data. There are some other ones that say webview-XXX.
The author of the app said this:
This looks like the database file. This is where android apps store data. The apps never directly have access to this file though.
The only thing I can think of -- try replacing this file (new one) with the recovered one. Not sure this will work. Otherwise, you can try accessing in with some sqlite application on the pc.
Sorry, it's not about getting a pro version, I really can't help you on this one.

wtf, everything was fine, i rebooted bc my screen wouldn't do portrait and now the app store is gone completely. and there is no recovery mode.
Apparently there are a lot of people who have looked for help on this issue in various forms, so googling all day and looking around has not helped.
I have Android 4.0.4 and a Pantech Burst that has been rooted. I downloaded Titanium Backup and removed some programs that were perma installed by the manufacturer. I backed them up before I did this. Now the system drive shows I have a bunch of space free, 326MB out of 1GB. Using other apps I am not sure. "Drives" shows two internal storages "Data" which has 681MB used and 326MB free and "System" which has 464MB used and 77MB free. I assume these are both the internal partition.
Trying to install anything from the Play Store results in a 'insufficient space' except for some really small apps. Since I don't know exactly how much space I have to work with, I can only guess. Uninstalling some apps normally doesn't allow me to install new ones either. Sometimes the phone will just eat the space.
I tried restoring a app with Titanium Backup and it seems to have worked, however the app is no longer in my normal system 'apps' utility. So I can't modify it or uninstall it anymore.
The apps aren't backed up to the system storage, they're on external storage.
I tried clearing the dalvik cache and system cache, this didn't help or do anything.
Any sort of help would be great.

Bro.. Use link2sd app to move apps to system.
Or uninstall bloatware from system.

That's not really what's wrong. I'm not too familiar with android, but I'm pretty sure my volumes aren't reporting deleted space that is actually free. I tried a program like CleanMaster to try and fix it as well as App Cache Cleaner, but they haven't seemed to help even though they reported that they fixed quite a few things initially.
It seems like whenever I uninstall something if I go through the system and look at apps, it shows more free space available. However when I try to install something new, it still says 'insufficient space'. Somehow the free space is not being freed up or marked as free for the system.
I almost want to say Titanium Backup is not giving the freespace back to the system and is instead just marking it as free, but not for the system. If that makes sense. So the system can't use it.
I can use Titanium Backup to restore apps even though the system says I have insufficient storage when I try to reinstall them. I shouldn't be able to do this without free space available. However when I do this I can't see it in the market or in the normal settings > apps on the system and in order to reintegrate it I need the pro version of Titanium Backup. I think TB isn't playing nice with the rest of the system in order to get you to buy a pro version of it.
