[Q] No space to install apps.

I have installed Cyanogenmod 7.2 to my Samsung Galaxy i5801 and it seems to be working OK, mostly. I am having to try to reinstall several of the apps I had previously but each time I try I get a message that there is insufficient space to install.
I have checked the reported space and it seems I have 0 internal storage and 14GB external storage. I have tried to change the storage location for downloaded apps to both internal and external with no difference.
Any suggestions for a solution? I have tried searching the forum and, although I see other posts asking similar questions there don't appear to be any answers.

You can try to reflash the rom or you can partition your SD card and use data2sd.

The problem with the install location is, that you need to have free space on the internal storage in advance.
The app is first downloaded into a container on the internal storage, and then installed (at least partly) to the internal storage. So you should have at least appSize * 2 of free space.
Another app you could try is Link2SD. It moves mostly everything of an app to the sd-card. But for that you need to partition your card. Just google for that app

If you are using Marcellusbe's build then Link2SD should work. Just ignore the error and reboot the phone.

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.

Stuck on moving to SDcard

I have Alcatel 5054D with a nonrooted Lollipop (5.1.1) on board. I tried to move some apps to SDcard by pressing "Move to SDcard". Some of these apps moved successfully and some stuck in "Moving" state. I tried to reinstall these stuck apps, but they still show "Moving" instead of "Move to SDcard/telephone". Clearing cache and rebooting the phone doesn't help either. I do not understand if they still in the phone memory or on the card. Any suggestions?

Not all apps are movable to the SD card. They're most likely on the internal. If you root you can get LINK2SD app and it will move everything you wish

I know that not all the apps are movable to the SD card. I could not have been able to see "Move to SD card" in this case. But the apps that stuck in moving to SDcard are movable, e.g. Skype.
Link2SD doesn't work on non rooted devices.

I am having the same problem. I have tried rebooting the phone, uninstalling and reinstalling app, clearing the cache. None of this works. Still says moving. Any ideas?

Same phone, same problem, no custom rom to root with, no support for model on Alcatel website. Can't even update existing apps because phone too full, need to finish moving these apps ... nobody knows how? Searched for an hour already

I need some help with storage, moving every file of an app to the SD card

To start off, I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) SM-J320FN. I've rooted it, but I'm not sure whether that is relevant to the thread or not. Anyways, the problem I have is I want to move EVERY SINGLE FILE off of an app I downloaded off of google play and move it into my SD card. I've downloaded Max Payne Mobile (for nostalgia,) which in turn (due to the J3's pathetic 8gb internal storage) caused me to delete most of my apps that I already had, strange thing is I've moved those apps to my SD card using AppMgr III (or App2SD) and I wonder why it asked it to delete something in my SD card so that it can install on my internal storage. I download and installed Max Payne, then I try to move it to my SD card using AppMgr III and it says that only 25 mb (ish) of the game can be moved to the SD card, despite the game being well over 1 gigabyte.
So I need to know how I can either move ALL my app files into the SD card or set google play to install directly to the SD card (I've heard that you can do it using Terminal Emulator by giving it SuperUser and typing something along the lines of PM set_main_storage2, I've tried that but it never worked)
Thanks in advance for your help. :good:

Hey man, if you figure out how to download on SD Card hit me up, although mine is formatted as internal.
