I can not install some apps from the GApp store "Insufficient storage available"
I can install from amazon. ( Loaded Dolphin browser ) Started ( I think ) after trying to download Google Chrome.... Failed
Using cwm, wiped davlik and main cache, checked and mounted /data, fixed permissions. rebooted.
Tried to download and install lucky patcher... no luck installing. ( will keep trying )
Nothing help so far. just trying to download and install the sixaxis cntroller app ( very small ) yet a larger file from amazon will install fine.
any ideas? Thanks to everyone in advance.
UPDATE I can install Kunundrum - game app 14mb from GApp store but still not sixaxis controller 147k insufficient storage
This is frustrating when I know I have space. Help Please
Fixed Yeah!
After several methods and hours of reading.. I finally found out what happened. When I purchased my p3113 tab I installed link2sd as I wanted to use my external memory. But after changing the setting to external storage... ( stop me if you have heard this before ) I realized that Samsung Galaxy does not support this function, So.. I deleted the app.
Little did I know that the setting in link2sd were shell commands that set environment variables in the system. so they stayed set to external even after uninstalling the app.
Installed link2sd and found the settings set to external... changed to internal. ( my new swapped external card.. see above ) and everything worked and everything began to install correctly. Hope this helps anyone with similar issues.
Thanks! I haven't had the error on my current fresh rom, but I did get the error on one of the roms I was flashing last week. I also did the same thing with app2sd, before learning it wouldn't work.
If you're hurting for space, backup everything and perform the sdcard/extsd swap, it works great with a fast class 10 card!

AC!D Audio, 32gb, ir working
Hello, this is my first post on xda-developers.Although it is for experienced people.
These days I am experiencing a very big problem that needs to be solved.I have spent whole DAYS to find a final solution but still I am almost at 0.I was going mad...It may sound easy but its not.
The problem starts here: After downloading Link2SD and partitioning my external SD in order to save space, I realised that actually Link2SD was not so great as it didnt help that much to save space. Why? Because the most space was not held by apk,dex and lib files but by the data files!!
The result was this
I found many apps that could move data to SD, but most of them with no result: FolderMount,Titanium Backup,GL to SD , directory Bind.
FolderMount: It was the first I tried. For some very strange reason I was getting an "Unknown Error" for some app data that I was trying to move.Also it corrupted some data too.Some random times was working though.
Titanium Backup:The most famous "data2sd" app. I was surprised when I found out this one had the ability to move data to the 2nd partition of the external SD.But it failed, as there was not such an option every time I selected an app. As I understood that is because Titanium Backup can support only some specific paths of the SD card. Mine is data/sdext2 but Titanium wants /data/sd or /system/sd/ or /sd-ext/ . Many Titanium users had the same problem on other threads. But most answers recommended to mount a script in init.d folder. A guy suggested to change the folder name from sdext2 to sd. BOTH of these solutions FAILED. 1) My phone ( no ROM installed) does not support init.d and for some reason every "init.d support" app I downloaded was a waste of time.Additionally I cant even make an init.d folder in system/etc...I dont know why...I make it, but it doesnt appear.
2) When I try to rename "sdext2" folder to "sd" it disappears...
GL TO SD: This is a nice app which was working when I tried it. Though I was not able to move the app data from external SD back to the internal storage.And this is a problem.
Directory Bind: I installed it. The first time it worked, and then it stopped...But except from that it cant move data back to internal storage as GL to SD and it does not list the data which I have moved.Also I have to manually find the path of an app's data.
OK. I know that I gave too much info and some of these may be a little confusing but thats the truth. The biggest mess is Titanium Backup as you can see, which is really a mystery. FolderMount maybe tries to move the data to the 1st partition of the SD and because of the small space shows error.Not sure though.
So lets make it more clear. Are these apps compatible with Link2SD and the partitioned SD card? If not, do you have any solution for the Titanium Backup? Do you know any Link2sd friendly "data2sd" app? What I want is just to find a way to move the data to external SD while I have Link2sd. And its really amazing that Link2SD has more than 10 million downloads and there is not a standard "data2sd" app which is actually more important than Link2sd !
Secondary Question: In many threads I saw the term : "Flash this zip in Recovery"...What does it mean and how can I do it?
Waiting for some answers. If you have any questions or want a more specific explanation about something, just ask me
Thanks a lot!
I use these triple combos on all phones ive tested (Link2sd ext4-4gb on sandisk class 10 32gb + folder mount for data+obb + titanium backup /data/sd terminal mod). You can get phone memory usage as low as 200mb. All these on my past stock tipo st21i, my new stock xperia play, ninetology i9480 and stock galaxy win i8552. My usual setups: 4gb of ext4 - ics and up / ext3/ext2 - depends on phone. I use ext3 for my play. Folder mount: i mount the entire /Android/data to external sd. Titanium? Use this AFTER your link2sd mounts your ext4.

flash this zip in recovery ~means reboot, access your recovery menu (cwm/twrp), pick flash .zip from file (where did you put those .zip files?), flash it, reboot to normal system, done.

What zip file?
First of all, I would like to give a special thanks to Bulent Akpinar, the developer of Link2SD for providing us such a great app. I had been using this app for a long time in Moto E when I was still using the stock version 4.4.4. I had a great time with this app and I purchased its PLUS version too. Let me tell you about what I gained due to Link2SD :
It links everything of an app or a game to your SD card allowing you to install a large number of apps. Linking is quite different from moving as moving apps to SD is not going to move app data and moving apps to SD slows down apps from loading. Widgets do not break in case of a linked app. All apps, wallpapers works smoothly as if it is stored in the internal storage. But, these things are known to all of us.
Now the problem starts here ! I tried CM11, gummy and PA ROMs but Link2SD created a serious problem
I tried to install CM11 and PA themes but got the same error "App not installed". I tried a lot of themes but got the same error. It meant I can't install any of the available themes. I searched web and got to know that the problem is caused due to partitioning of SD card ! !
Due to partitioning, CWM and TWRP recovery failed to do their tasks.
Unable to install zips from external SD card ! (ERROR: Unable to open folder)
Unable to create backup in SD card ! (ERROR: Unable to open folder)
Unable to restore backup ! (ERROR: No such file found)
Unable to mount storage!
and much more errors were there !
"Install zips from internal storage" was the only option working as usual.
I searched web and there were no promising answers. Somewhere I found that it is due to Link2SD. I cleaned my SD card, deleted the secondary partition and then CWM worked ! ! Flashed CM11 and tried to install themes, it was successful
Guys, if anyone of you are facing these errors, then it might be possible that you have linked apps to your SD card. Link2SD is a great app if you are using stock ROM and you are not willing to try custom ROMs and its themes. But when you are with CM, then Linking is not a good choice
Hit thanks :good: , if helped
First why:
When I got this phone I was disappointed with fact that primary storage isn't switchable and free user data space is approximately 2.2 GB. Which means that all application data goes to internal storage so it is impossible to use apps like Need for Speed, Navigation app, ShowBox and others. I believe you all find that annoying.
After I saw @Dhruvit Pokharna topic I started to poke a little bit over XDA and I noticed that this was done before ( back in 2012 ) and with various Samsung phones. So I decided to change and adapt script for our phone. Original script was created by @mattiadj from whom I still waiting for permission to change script and to publish it. But I'am going to do it anyway.
What the script do:
It swipe internal sd (/storage/sdcard0) with external micro sd (/storage/extSdCard) and viceversa.
"With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff"
required:
- root
- custom recovery
- kernel with init.d support
- BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson
- swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN
How to and why:
Before installing swap if you moved some apps to sd move it back to phone to avoid conflict of course.
1. Root your phone first
2. Install custom recovery *(here or here)
3. Make a backup. Just in case of zombie attack *
4. Install kernel with init.d support *(here or here)
5. Install BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson.zip (flashable provided below )
6. Install swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN.zip (flashable provided below)
7. Why * because you have choice
That's it. Your external sd is internal now and you can enjoy your big internal memory.
If you want to reverse it simply go to /system/etc/init.d delete 11extsd2internalsd and reboot your phone.

Tutotial is simple. Step by step.
I don't see reason why you can't use this if your Phone has same spec as mine .
Check with root explorer following :
/storage/sdcard0
/storage/extSdCard
/dev/block/vold/179:129
If this is it you're good to go..
And for your existing game data just copy it after at proper place
Here is whole script:
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:129 /storage/sdcard0
sleep 30
mount -o bind /data/media /storage/extSdCard
chmod 777 /mnt/extSdCard
sleep 10
chown 1023:1023 /storage/extSdCard
chown 1000:1000 /storage/sdcard0

Install applications from play store goes to default internal memory without problem.
When you have downloaded apk from some other site only way for now is to copy it to /data/app than change permission and owner and install it from there. I still didn't figured it out why is that only way for download and backuped apks.
Regarding data app I think you mean what was asked in second post. If you used link2sd or some similar app after swaping just check are data and obb are stored under folder /Android in your external SD so that you could use your saved apps resources.

Thanks bro for your awesome work.:good:
Hi!
File Commander shows the swap (a lot of memory as device memory) and a little amount (the internal, as sd card memory), but when I get into app administration it only shows the small amount of memory as the avaible for applications, I've tried downloading some apps after the process just to see if that amount was static but it keeps going down with every app, so I guess it isn't working, or only games and apps which use large amounts of memory are saved at the external storage?
Edit: I can't neither nstall apps directl from the storage, just from the play store.
Thanks! :good:

I see, just installed a game and it's working, thanks!
I found something, I don't know if it is a bug or me doing something wrong, any app that messes with the identity of the phone doesn't seems to work. I've tried with "Tablet Metrics" module with the xposed framework and Rom toolbox lite, also doesn't work changing the device id.
Thanks alot. I love this

Well, i already did it, ty Revert works very good
But i wanted to know what i can make wrong. I mean i did everything as it wrote in title. But maybe such fail was already corrected by some user.
And also free space was the same for card and phone memory. i mean if free memory on phone is 200mb, then on sd card its also 200mb.

If you looking in settings storage you will see that. It's the way it is because I couldn't swap whole data partition. I only swap extSdCard with legacy sdcard0 or internal memory. Swapping mmcblk0p22 with mmcblk1p1 wouldn't work because p22 is fst ext4 and p1 is vfat.

So its a long story guys.
I am Iman. And i have a samsung galaxy star pro ( i know its old, but i just need the solution, not advices to buy a new phone)
Yesterday i rooted my samsung galaxy star pro, with pc kingoroot pc software. And it was sucessfully rooted. Today I installed, link2sd, RoesoftRamExpander and FOLDERMOUNT in my phone.
Ok so when i was using folder mount when i opened the app it gave an error type of thing that a faculty error has came and it will have to do something to the sdcard (internal storage sd card) and it also said that i will create a backup as well.
I just clicked ok, and then using folder mount, i didnt found it effective because all the data was in KB's so i uninstalled folder mount. Now when i opened gallery it said that data is low than 100 mb delete some files. I rushed to settings>storage and saw the Phone memory was 4 Gb/4GB full. (my phone even doesnt supports apps2sd so i cant change default storage to ext sd card)
ok so now i opened es file explorer and the sd card was empty. I opened up /device and searched a file called sdcard.backup and it was there, which means that i have the backup. Now how can i restore it please??????????????? I really need to restore it. if theres an app to do it than tell me , i have also gone in foldermount settings but found nothing there. I can install apps, because the apps go to device/system>data
