Failed to move application. There is not enough storage space left. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all!
I've run into an error lately I've never run into before. Was just curious if anyone else has experienced this. I definitely have searched for people having the same issue, read a couple different threads on different sites, and still have no idea what is causing it.
I am running a few different nandroids of CM7-Nightlies. (I know they are nightlies and can't be expected to not have broken features, but my apps are having issues going onto my SD card. Sporadically.
If I try and move an app that normally goes to SD no problem (eg. Angry Birds, Dropbox, AK Notepad, etc.) I get the error "Failed to move application. There is not enough storage left".
It's interesting, because some apps move just fine. And some apps that normally don't allow me to move them to SD, allow me to now. For instance, I was able to move Facebook, Google Maps, Gmail, Voice Search, You Tube and many other official apps like that to my SD. But Dropbox, Angry Birds, etc. output the error.
I am on a 003 hardware Evo running CM7 Nightly 13 with the stock kernel.
I have reformatted my SD card 2 days ago, and threw a couple things back on it that I backed up. If anyone can point me in the right direction as to how to cure this I would be very thankful. Otherwise I'm going to suspect this is a CM7 issue and I'll shut up now.
Thanks again!

I also having this problem. Can't find any thread about this in the Nexus One section and found this thread using Google. I am running CM7 RC1 on the Nexus One. Some apps move fine but some won't move. I am thinking the problem is with the app itself, not the firmware.

i'm having the same issue with my htc aria cm7 nightly 12 & 13 (only 2 i used so far)

This just happened to me but I'm using CM7 on Desire, does anyone else have any idea why is this happening and how to resolve this?

I did have the same problem as you after upgraded to CM7. Was suggested by other people to try DarkTremor APP2SD.. it basically create a partition the memory card and trick the phone to think that as internal memory. As of now, I no longer having to constant moving apps to SD and worry about download apps!! i have 1 gb internal space now and it completed the phone! Try it

make note of the apps that is doing the problem..then uninstall them then reinstall..problem fixed

I am having same problem with the BB GPA on my NS4G.

i am also having this problem on nexus s running ics b9. re-formatted internal sd and it will let me move a few apps then the error starts again. could simply be a prob with b9?
edit: nvm, did what the guy above said, uninstalled app, reinstalled and it moved to sd.

I used the windows 7 format for my sd card and used the 4096 kb allocation size. if i used the "default allocation size" I would still get the error. Try that and see if it works. Mine works perfectly now.

Had this problem and figured out that is was only with apps I restored with MyBackup Pro., but only if I restored the app and the data at the same time. If I restored the apps, moved to sd, then restored data, it works.

I had a similar problem with one app, turns out it left a file in /system/data (think that was the dir) deleted file with root explorer and restored the app with titanium. I would poke around data, and app dirs and see if there are some old files there,

You could try to reinstall the app with titanium backup.

Rooted Android software is not able to recognise the apk file as move2sd function is enabled. Try moving the app using link2sd back to the phone and the app should move back.

Remounting the sd card or changing the permissions of /sdcard might help.

[Q] Every so often most of my images disappear from my sd card. Why?

It's sickening because I have a lot of wallpapers and icons..I copy it all to my laptop occasionally but not everyday because it takes quite awhile. Does this happen to anyone else? Anyone know why? I'm very careful about unmounting the card.
Yes, its happened to me to. And I have only been using rooted stock Roms. My only suggestion is to install an app like lookout. It automtically backups up my pics daily and also gives u the option to push them back to the phone or download them to your pc. (it does some other cool stuff too).

Insufficen space error

I am on SRF 1.1.1 with vision kernel been having a problem with updating SetCpu getting error message "insufficient storage available" according to app 2 sd i have nothing that can be moved to sd card so not sure what is up. Any ideas?
Update I uninstalled then reinstalled SetCpu and it worked still not sure why this happened same thing with zombiebooth.
You might have to odin and start over. U might have some corruption In /data
if you cant live large, look big in the coffin!!!
same thing happens to me when trying to update angry birds. some people have reported this problem as well on the ROMs thread.
Try SDMaid -free in the market. Search for corpses and remove them. Works for me when i have that problem.

[Q]Apps breaking?

Why is it that some apps randomly break after a reboot, even certain reboots after moving then to sd using titanium backup?? I reboot, app is there, but couple times later.. It breaks and disappears. Only with this phone, my G2, G2x never had this problem.. Even my girls sidekick works great using titanium and moving to sd.. I have tried link2sd and its worse with that app..

do you have a list of specific apps to help you figure out?
I have 99% of my apps in SD and they work fine
I use Link2SD
but they work fine even with Link2SD, using the stock Froyo App2SD
but that one is a waste of space, so Link2SD is more efficient
if you forcefully move apps from internal to external using TI, apps that were not made to run from SD can break, that is a known issue with all phones
the apps are
Amazon App Store
Cachemate
Capital One
Download All Files
Google Music
RepliGo Reader
Root Explorer
Shazam
Skype
SpeedTest
Tapatalk
Titanium Backup
Tunee Music
But they break randomly at different reboots. And Im sure im using Link2SD correct, im not illiterate .. and I know forcefully moving them can break but even creating links doesnt work for me until i reboot. And like I said, weird that I never had this problem with my other phones..
of your list i'm using the following without breaking
Amazon App Store
Google Music
Root Explorer
Shazam
Skype
SpeedTest
Tapatalk
Titanium Backup PRO/Donate
and pretty much all of them are in the SD except for TI which i keep on internal for JICSH moments
Well, I reformatted the partition but this time with fat32.. Before both tries that I attempted this app, they were extra partition.. Which way are you using..?

here's the long answer short http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343187
Mine does this and they dont quite dissapear but there is a ghost image in the app drawer. When i click on it it says app not installed. If i unmount and remount sd card itll fix it. I think it has to do with media scanner not finishing loading all the apps.

Media not showing in Gallery, QuickPick, etc?

I've noticed this problem for some time now and I don't know what to do. My media isn't showing up anywhere. I tried rebooting my phone and works fine but after that it doesn't show up again. Any ideas what's wrong? I'm running the stock November 2.3 update if that helps.

Have you pressed "Menu/Show hidden" while using QuickPic? I find mine likes to hide the same folders every time but it shows everything once I do this. It's an annoyance but I don't look into my gallery often enough for this to be an issue.
Yeah I tried that but nothing. Now any new videos I download from Tubemate doesn't show up after downloading it. I even tried other gallery applications and nothing.

Are you using any task killers or autostart manager apps? Is it just pics or is it music and vidoes too? You may want to try an app from the market called Rescan Media Root? It rescans the phone for new media without having to reboot. It would be a temporrary fix but save you a little time mabey.
i assume you have put the sd card in your computer and everything is good, no errors, etc. maybe try copying all of your sd card to another, ideally new, formatted one, and see if any difference is made, maybe at least a variable discovered?

Problem with WiFi and data

So I have two GS3s one for me and one for my fiance. Both are running Task650s AOKP and Ktoonsez kernel KT747.
I have no problems with mine but my fiances phone randomly stops connecting to the time server and anything with a secure connection, no Play Store, Facebook, etc.
When I attempt to search Google I get like 10 certificate errors. The only thing that fixes it is a full wipe and reinstall. Its fine for a while and then for no reason it does it again.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Also on the last wipe I did I noticed her phone has to internal SD directories. For example my phone has "storage/0/*" hers has "storage/0/0/* . Both have the same folders in them except storage/0 appears to have all the current apps in it the storage/0/0 is like a copy of that directory when I first rooted it.
