After a fresh install the Phone indicates that there is 780 mb used for apps?! This is a clean install with clearing the cache etc. Because of this there is almost no room left for installing any apps.
I suspect that the Phone is somehow confused and does not recognize the memory correct.
Can anyone look in their Phone and see if it is normal that a fresh install uses 780 for installed apps?

OK my UK Voda Magic was running with a few faults on CM4.2.14 so I decided to wipe and reflash with CM 4.2.15.1 so I wiped data, cache, re partitioned through CM recovery with default settings 32mb swap, 512 ext and rest for fat32.
Now my problem is the market, i think!!!
So i installed a few apps, reboot the phone and the apps are no longer installed in the menu, but installed in the market and the option to uninstall greyed out. If they stay installed they force close on opening. After a few wipes and reflash i have some sort of pattern
On a fresh wipe and rom it is like the market has not synced properly, as the tab to view paid apps is not present. Anything i install at this moment will have problems. The downloads tab is blank ie none of my paid apps are listed.
After lots of reboots the market appeared to be functioning properly but for no apparent reason or nothing i have done to help!!. Any apps i install at this point work properly. So problem solved.
Now not convinced i have a clean install i started again so am back at step one with a market only partially functioning, i dont want to install any apps until its back working properly.
So can anyone fill in the blanks
How do i get the full market back??
Is there a problem in my process of wiping and flashing rom?
I have tried the vending database renew scripts tried the gtalk on/off issue and am now going CRAZZY!
What am i missing!!!
I have bought a new 16gb Kingston SD card. I partitioned it 11GB FAT32 and the remainigng ext4.
I rooted my HTC Desire, wiped it, installed StarBurst and then installed Data2SD. So far so good. The phone booted back up and all seemed well but accessing apps was slow. I then tried downloading an application from the market and got the error "Sorry, there is not enough space to install this application".
I checked and my SD card is showing 11gb free space and my internal memory is showing 3gb.
Has anyone seen this problem?
Many Thanks
Formatted both partitions and reinstalled Staburst Lite 1.2.0 and getting same error. As the phone recognises there is space, could there be a permissions problem?
When you flash Starburst, it sets the permissions just before it finishes the install. You're ROM might be bad, you should try downloading the full one. Doing a factory reset. Flashing the ROM. Then rebooting and flashing the App2SD install and reboot again. Hopefully things work out for you. I'm having problems with Starburst too.
I completely wiped and reformatted SD partitions, downloaded the lite ROM (had tried standard) and installed that. Same problems, the phone seen the 3gb internal memory but I couldnt install apps. It did however download the update for google maps and install that automatically. Even after that if I tried getting anything from the market I got the no space error.
When I had the standard ROM installed, I evntually tried the fix permissions button in ROM manager. It did 170ish tasks but didnt fix the problem. This was my first attempt at flashing my Desire. I have learnt a fair bit already about it and done plenty of googling and reading.
I have installed Oxygen for now but would like to get starburst working to try out this performance boost it boasts.
Ok, I gave StarBurst another go, reduced my ext4 partition down to 1gb from 3.x gb and it works now. Maybe a restriction to what size it can work with.
Ok..Ive rooted my phone and tried several flavoured Roms.
I had settled on LeeDroid and was messing around with RomManager and tried to back up my current rom as I thought that would be sensible.
Phone rebooted and got stuck, tried rebooting several times but got stuck on same screen (HTC) every time.
Decided to reinstall LeeDroid and start again
Before reinstalling I wiped data and cache etc from recovery mode.
But now when the phone has setup it shows 49mb free internal memory wheras before there was 139mb.
What am I doing wrong ?
I have tried to reinstall leedroid 3 times now but the memory is still 49mb
Is there a way of clearing the internal?
many thanks
Dave
Have you installed any applications on your Phone?
The Applications will use some part of the internal memory, no matter you are using the A2SD+ or not..
Recently switched to CM11 nightly, and while trying to install some app, I got insufficient storage message. Now what the.... ????
1) I started reading forum after forum, some suggested to clear, davlik cache and cache from recovery, don that did not helped.
2) Others suggested to delete everything from /data/app-lib/app-path/lib but none of my app's had LIB sub-directory in /data/app-lib/app-path/
3) Others suggested to use Lucky Patcher to get rid of unused odex files. Done that but no odex files found.
4) Other suggested to get rid of applications cache, done - no result.
5) Dumpstate/logcat does not exists (no such directory as /data/log )
I still have over 450 Mb of storage available on the phone, but I cannot install any app.....
This drives me mental.
Any ideas please?
Thanks.

Do a clean install.
How?...
Do a factory reset and flash the last snapshot. I think the last one was M7.
If your problem persists after that, you're dealing with a hardware issue.

Thanks for the answer
I did a full data wipe and I installed CM 10.2 stable, annoying enough google failed to restore to the device, so I had to redo everything. Anyway even with CM 10.2 after a FULL wipe I'm still facing the same issue. My device reports that I have more than 500 Mb free space, but I cannot install new software, however I can copy and download to it without any problems....
It's not a major think I cannot leave with out, just it's quite frustrating...

i've been running cm11m7 on my relay for about a month now, and even with a bunch of apps installed, and letting touchdown (my work email app) use internal storage for emails and attachments, i still have 3.5gb free on internal.
my guess is you have a ton of large apps using up all your internal storage.
how much free space do you see when you go into settings/storage immediately after you do a clean install of CM? skip the google account stuff during first-time setup so it doesn't try to sync apps/etc, so you get a good, accurate measurement.
for reference, mine shows a total of 5.06gb, with 3.52gb available. 1.51gb used by apps, 2.31mb pictures, 352k audio, 5.5mb downloads, 102mb cached, and 7.82mb misc. that's not counting my SD card, which doesn't have any apps on it. just MP3s, pictures, backups (titanium) and other misc files i keep around for work. i'm thinking after a fresh install, you should have at least 4.5gb free.
when i go into apps and sort by size, firefox (surprisingly) takes the most at 307mb, then google text to speech with 263mb (because i downloaded the high quality english pack), then touchdown at 100mb, chrome at 78mb, onenote at 64mb, kindle at 56mb, and it just goes down from there.

I'm not so sure it's a hardware issue.
Dear OP:
Question 1
Are you still having this issue? If not, what was the workaround?
Question 2
What app are you using in order to download and install the software you're installing?
Question 3
What's the exact error message you're getting? Please provide a screenshot if possible.
Question 4
The Google Play store definitely requires 500 megs free before it will install anything. Other software installation methods may also have their own odd requirements.
500 mebibytes equals 524.288 megabytes.
Let's round that number (524.288) up to 550 megs.
Try freeing up 550 megs, then try installing a small app (one which requires 3 MB of storage space or less). Can you install it successfully?
Did you manage to solve the issue , i too have the same problem . I have more than 5gb free on internal storage
UPDATE : I MANAGED TO FIX THE PROBLEMThe way is to clean format the system via twrp (switch to ext2 and switch to ext4) or something similar, the storage partition will restore to its original state
Hello everybody, recently I decided to check the storage allocation and saw that system is using a large portion of my storage space
Any suggestions ?
Maybe with root you can debloat some useless apps.

That's a bit strange.
I'm pretty sure, though, that stock apps aren't included here, maybe only core system apps. Because I have disabled a lot of pre-installed apps and the system storage space didn't change that much, only App storage. Mine is currently at 10.26GB, and I'm pretty sure it's been like that out of the box as well, maybe a bit less.
And my cache sits around 500MB.
Either way, go to your settings-apps and disable what you don't use. After that use some sort of a cleaning app, like Clean Master and run it. Just make sure you uninstall it after you're done.
If none of that helps, I'd do a complete format and clean flash via FlashTool, or use xperia companion to repair the software.
40GB for system storage seems a bit extreme. Maybe I'm just not that heavy user, but I don't see how the user can even affect the system storage, apart from cache. Even when updating OTA, I'm pretty sure those downloaded packages get deleted afterwards.
For most of the useless stock apps, you don't need root to disable them, it is not the same as completely removing them while rooted, but it will still free up some storage space and prevent them from running in the background.

Brother. I already did that. Nothing changes. The only way is root it and remove ( not only disable ) the apps using titanium backup ( or some program like that ). Don't forget to make a backup from them before remove the apps.
But, i think that this process don't result in alot free space. Maybe when android compile the apk in cache the result naturaly takes this space. I have a 64gb XZ and this issue really annoying me too. If i discovery something i share with you.
