[Q] cant install purchased apps, phone memory low - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i just put cm6 on my phone and i cant install my purchased apps. its not downloading the right file size, one app is 3.29mb but its showing 1.55mb when it downloads. i cant even install the apk's i got from 4shared. when i try to install the ones from 4shared it says that my memory is full. my memory is nowhere near full. i have 2gbs on my sd and 106mb on my phone. i have my setting to install to my external storage. i tried deleting the folders that the apps use but it still did the same. any thoughts would be appreciated.

well its only three of my purchased apps. radiotime, hyperjump and homerun battle 3d wont install. setcpu installs just fine. i can also install free apps just fine.

TILT 2 Memory/Storage FULL

I downloaded some apps from the Marketplace. I usually get the cabs online and just install all my programs to the storage card and leave the main storage open. But with Marketplace it seems to install them directly onto the device. Is there a way to change that? To make the Marketplace programs install onto the storage card instead? Apparently...all these apps I've installed have caused the memory to get low. It says I have 13MB available and the phone is running slower than usual. Is there a way to safely move these program files over to the storage card or am I just gonna have to remove them and see if I can't find the cabs online?
Or does anybody know a way to open up more storage/memory ...temporary files, files I don't need that came with the Tilt 2. (Note: I already use ClearTemp and CleanRam)

There is a Thread on this forum on how to remove some of the ATT Bloat. I was able to free up a bunch of memory 10-20MB.

Or you could also Flash a new ROM.. With a TON of stuff installed, I have 209MB Free Storage
I had Good Results with one called e2 ROM - Also Adds the Weather to the TF3D Home Screen

You can move the programs to the storage card with SKTools, or re-install them from cabs. I guess Marketplace forces it to Memory.
You might also check your PIE/Opera cache, it can get rather large.
Thanks so much for the advice. Where can I find the PIE/Opera Cache at? What's the path?

I clear in MemMaid or SKTools myself, but you can do it via the programs themselves.
pie: path: \windows\profiles\guest
Or launch, Menu, Options, Browsing History, Temporary Files highlighted, Clear (soft key)
Opera: path: \windows\opera9\cache
Or again launch Opera, Settings, Privacy, Delete Cache.
You can now specify in Marketplace in options to download to storage card

[Q] How can I run CopyProtect apps from SD, to save built in storage space??

Ok I'm sure most Slide owners have run into problems with space on the phone, luckily for most apps you can move them and run from the SD card (w/ 2.2).
However with other apps that i have paid for - "documents to go" and and a few others labeled as "copy protected", even as root, I cant seem to find a way to move the apps to SD and run them from the external storage. I have no interest in pirating apps... but the ones i have paid for i think i should be able to run them from wherever... and my slide is seriously running out of space... as once you get the dreaded "low space warning" certain google and other apps fail to work / sync properly...
Does anyone have any ideas suggestions to circumvent and RUN the "copy protected" apps from the SDcard (I dont care about backing up apps... just want to run the apps i paid for from the SD card)
Also I have noticed that some google apps that can be downloaded from the market (maps, etc) also cannot be moved to SD... Additionally i have found that when there is a new version of an app available the new app sometimes does not ' get rid of ' or ' replace ' the old app so even small apps can take up a lot of space unless apps are periodically un-installed and then reinstalled.. for instance last time i checked "opera MINI" app was taking up 10MB, (with cache cleaned etc...) but after uninstall and re-install of "Opera Mini" now its like 1.1MB...
But it would really help to figure out how to move & run my paid apps from the SD card...

Look for Dark Tremors Apps2SD in the development section. This will create a partition on your SD card that will allow apps be be moved. Unlike the default Apps2SD in CM, this should allow those specific apps to be moved.
is there any new updates on how to do this i tried installing dark tremors - but could not get it to work.... has there been any progress in this area? Is there some special way to install/use dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04-signed.zip?
HEY dud have you ever tried data2ext, it partitions a space in your memory card to not only install apps2sd, but that extra data that is eating up your phone space. I do not know if this will fix your copy protected issue, but before my phone only had 150mb space MAX! (on CM7 by the way, wtf!?!?) after i did the data 2 ext, my phone has over 472mb of free space and i have well over 50-100 apps installed and it takes no more than 70mb! (and i dont even have all of my apps on sd yet, it is about 5 or 6 apps with well over 10mb-20mb still on the phone memory. search these forums and i promise you it is on here!!!
if this helps, would u mind hittin the thanks button

[Q] moving apps and game data?

Just got a GT N7100 few days ago. rooted it. i have lots of games installed like max payne, gta3 etc. so all my storage is gone. i want to ask how do i move games and apps to external sd? can i backup game data which is everytime whopping over 1gb so that i do not need to download it again if i reinstall any game. is there any way to move gamedata to ext. sd?
and:victory: i just got idea if i do not uninstall game back but just backup gamedata and delete it from phone to free up memory and when i need app i just move back data to its original location which is usually android data, will it work.
i have 300 mb free space and now my phone doesnt allow me to install an app even less than 1mb of size..any idea......thanks in advance.......:good:
Moving to external sd has been asked and answered before. Here is one I replied to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010235

No if you want to use the same files/folders on another phone. The game downloads files for your specs, not for other phones.
If its for your or another Note 2 then it might work if the game has not been updated since your backup. If it has been updated it might need the new files.
RE
what about if i do not uninstall game back but just backup gamedata and delete gamedata from phone to free up memory and when i need app i just move back data to its original location which is usually android data, will it work and yes i will be doing this on same phone.
That will probably work unless you open it by a mistake. Maybe not if it has the permission to run at startup. It could look for the files then, and not find any.
Both of the solutions i linked to works for me.
Directory Bind is most useful for me with this phone.
And then you don't have to wait for the copying every time you want to play a game.
re
can u shed some light on directory blind and how to use it?
I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889550
Remember that apps with root access can do everything they want with your phone, including making it as usefull as a brick.
Don't use an app with root access until you think you understand a little of what it does, and you have read a few reviews/posts about it.
Be extra careful with root apps that are not in the Play store/Market. This is not. Why are they not there? Maybe because Google rejected it because it does bad things?
I wanted all of the data in the folder DirectoryBind on my external SD card. What you are supposed to do then (step 2 in that guide) is change the default data path to /mnt/extSdCard/DirectoryBind. I wrote /extSdCard/DirectoryBind because my Galaxy S II had a link to the microSD card there. The Note II does not, so the /mnt/ is important
Took me a while to realize what was wrong...
Thanks man .. DB did the job.....everything s now fine.
Startup soung stopped working?
hey man ! after installing DB startup tone doesnt work..any ideas?
The Samsung tone when you turn on the phone? I don't want that, so let me know if you find out what removed it.

How to make SD card writtable

Well, I need to make my SD card writtable, so I can move large apps and games to my SD card.. I found that topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524277 , but it belongs to Moto mobile, so anyone tried it and found it working for HTC desire 816? I have root access btw...
And if I did that, will I be able to move large games completely to SD card?
Is your mobile rooted ? If so then install the exposed module and then download the sdcard access program. It should work.

How can I even install this module? Never heard of that thingy.. and what do you mean by SD card access program?
Sorry for the double post. I have already made SD card wrritable and it succeeded and afterwards, I downloaded Folder Mount and I can move apps and games to SD card without any single problem, but the main problem I find is as follows:-
Most of apps which are downloaded from store such as:- Facebook, chrome, YouTube, Subway, Minion Rushes etc have free folders in the "Android" folder, although when I was using Jelly Bean, I used to have to access to their files without a problem and I didn't find those folders empty..
I can currently move large games such as NFSMW, MC4 and such games because they aren't downloaded from playstore, but APK Mani, that's why I can get access to their data and OBB files, so any help?

[Q] Apps can't download data?

Hi! My phone can download and install apps just fine however when apps need to download additional files, they cannot save the downloaded files. Multiple apps have had this issue so I think it's a problem with my phone. There is enough space available because storage says I have 24 gb free. I've tried factory resetting my phone but the same problem persists. Thanks!
