Make Application storage from 1 GB to 2.5 GB for MMX A117
Hi there, when i connected the phone to the PC after selecting the EBR files and clicked on Download, the SP tools did not detect my A117 for a long time. It kept displaying "searching" in the status bar below. Also,no yellow prompt came up. I'm using Windows 8. Does the VCom drivers provided in the attachment have compatibility issues with Win8?
Please respond.

There is one application name Meteos 6589 on xda.
Can i use this to increase internal memory??
Is yes then how to return back if used??

You wont be able to see internal eXCEPT the 1.5 Gb, I solved it. You need to reflash rom after ebr changes !

please tell me how to change ebr file

Make sure you have cleaned all the cache. Some app might be taking that space. Check individual apps in apps settings.
If problem persist, then take titanium back up of all ur apps n format phone. This happened to me once and i have to do this painful process of formatting.

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.

[Completed] how do I get into "android/inaccessible files" - it's 88% of my storage

I'm trying to free up some space with an app called "Storage Analyzer" and there's this enormous greyed out slice of the pie (88% of my internal storage) that is called "android/inaccessible"
1) does anybody know what it is? it's not spotify premium offline files, because I've deleted all those to try to free it up
2) how can I gain access to it, to hopefully delete some of the files & free up space
*this is probably not my android filesystem (I would presume) because theres a separate field called "android overhead" which only takes up 16MB (2.8%)
Phone Specs:
AT&T Galaxy S5 SM-G900A
Android 5.0
16 GB internal memory
64 GB external (but I can't move any of my files over to the SD, since the files in question are "inaccessible" and greyed out)

I guess it's the space on the internal storage, which is not accessible by the storage analyzer app.
If your device is not rooted, your apps can not access all system folders ... only your user space.
If you want to free some of the system space, you will have to root your device.
There are different clean up apps available, but keep in mind, that deleting system files is risky and may cause issues on your device.
BTW ... here is the [INDEX][FAQ][Q&A][ALL-IN-ONE][ATT][SM-G900A][Jul.01.2014] by ted77usa thread with many useful information and links to other threads for your device.
It's an help thread too.
So please register on xda and ask there to get answers from users having the same device like you.
Good luck !

Storage isues

Hello,
I have a GoClever Aries 785 (M7841) Tab, and supposedly it is an 8 GB tab, since I can ot post any images because I am a new user this will be harder, I will try to transcript from the screenshots I have taken, here we go:
1. You see this when you press the "Storage" tab in settings:
Storage
Rom information
Internal Rom 8192 MB
System 7528 MB
User Available 664 MB
Okay so, What does all this mean? Am I missing something obvious here? Internal Rom as I understand is the total memory the device has? And System is how much is currently being used as a total? User available is self explanatory. I am not new to flashing Android Roms and such, but this is confusing me for some reason. Moving on to the next image and closer to the main question
2 In the same "Storage" tab I see a section called:
Flash storage
Total space: 5.06 GB
Available: 664 MB
(And on it goes with how much storage the apps, pics and so on occupy)
As I understand, this Flash Storage is an emulated internal SD card or something
3. Another section is:
Internal storage
Total space: 0.98GB
Available: 287MB
Apps (SYSTEM APPS IN FACT) and cached data takes about 500MB
So that adds up to what? 6 GBs? As I understand 3 GB is hidden and used by the Android system?
The point of all this is this leaves me with like a half a GB to download apps and install them because they all go to internal storage and not flash storage or SD card. WTF? I am constantly having issues of low storage and when I reach a certain limit Google Play does not even let download apps. I can have the Flash storage as empty as I want and an SD card as large as I want but because the internal storage has only 300 MB available I am not able to download apps. I can download apps if there is free internal storage and move them to flash storage from the app manager, but the system still leaves some data in the Internal storage and I do not think I can move them to an SD card, so since when I move an app to the Flash storage and it leaves some data in Internal, I come to a point when it is full again and there is nothing I can do about it. I cant select the default write disk to be Flash stage or SD, but I think it is only for the camera, voice recorder and etc. How do I work around this? Is there a way to reparation the storage so there would be more space of Internal storage? Or maybe some thing else I could do? I can not even have apps like Facebook or the Google Docs that I need, I have to constancy clean cache so I cant at least get like 20 MB more.
Device is rooted, I can access device internal storage with ES file explorer.
If you have gotten this far, I thank you for reading my novel, I have tried to explain everything as clear as I can and to include as much info as I can, some of it might have been useless. Sorry for a long post.

No one has the answer?

Hi !
If the device has been rooted then some improper storage readings may occur
Install DiskInfo from playstore for a better image of your storage
You can use but be careful with SdMaid from playstore as well
Basically , a 8GB Rom is the total storage your device has been built with which actually means 7629.39 mb in real
From this amount , 3 gb may be the system which you can`t fill it up with user`s apps or personal files , the rest of it is the user`s space storage from which 500 mb is the cache
In the end , without any personal files or user`s apps , the amount of available storage may be 4291.53 mb so , try to remove all the personal (media) files away (audio , video, downloads ...) and check how much free space you`ll get
Your system may be capable of moving user`s app to flash storage but this is limited to certain folders like data folder of the application , the obb won`t move out
A good application is Apps2Sd from playstore but again , be very careful and properly read the xda`s thread before doing anything
Good luck !
