I just tried installing Skyraider Sense 4.2. In the process of restoring my apps through Titatnium Backup, I got the Low Space Wizard to appear. I have gone through many times and moved almost all of my apps to SD and cleared any cache that may have appeared in the 24 hrs that I have had it running. I even tried wiping Data/Cache and Dalvik Cache in CWM and when I started restoring it did the same.
My phone should have plenty of space for these apps. I had them all installed in CM7 with plenty of room to spare. What can I do to fix this?
Anybody have any ideas? I got most of my apps to restore but then it still gives me the message even after I clear my cache and uninstall some apps. I have 470+ MB free in my internal app space but it still gives me the error...
Check your data/data partition and look into an app called "not enough space".
Go to manage apps and see which is at the top and clear its data ... if it Facebook near the top then don't use HTC Facebook
Sense has a built in Low Space Wizard that I have used and I have cleared out all the data and moved all the apps over to SD that could be moved. The data/data partition has plenty of free space too...

My internal storage is very low and I don't know what could be causing it...I have uninstalled programs, cleared cache and it still does not increase!!!
Any suggestions?? Pls help
Note: I am not rooted..
Greetings,
That's a good question. I fear I have no answer. But I assume you've gone to
Home > settings, applications, running applications, and "cleared cache" on any that
may have larger caches (those you use most).
It might also help if while in there, to move some of your installed applications to sdcard.

I have moved all the apps that I can to the SD...I am really thinking hard about rooting...They is some apps that I really would like to take off...I am trying to find a good rom to use...any suggestions??
I gained a ton of space by installig a custom kernel (netarchy's to be exact). He moves the cache to the data mount giving you more app space. I think he has some other trick up his sleeve too because i have not had a problem since (that is until the latest OTA which i have since removed–it was givng me way to many problems).
As expected you'll need "full" root.
I use a widget called "memory status" to keep tabs on both app and data load as well as my SD card.

If you run a2sd, move dalvik to SD. I've got 50+ apps and 385mb of internal storage free on a Sense rom.
Sent from my SUPERSONIC
I have HTC Desire with InsertCoin GB ROM 1.05 (not CM), used just for several days. Of course, almost all apps are moved to SD storage except few like Go Apps and small system utilities.
Today I started to get message that storage space is too low - just about 200K. I have moved GoSMS app to SD, then Gmail, and process hangs. GoSMS successfully moved to SD, while Gmail simply disappeared at all. After restart free space on internal memory left only 100K (yes, even less space then before).
Fixing permissions from ROM manager didn't help, so I wiped out cache partition. Free space increased to 65MB. Wiping dalvik cache increased it further to 72 MB.
I have very few data on phone, several hundred contacts and 20 SMS messages, virtually nothing else.
Now DiskUsage app reports this data:
Data - 194.7 MiB
Applications - 122 MiB
Free - 72.7 MB
I feel something is not right there. I can't understand why there so much data - almost 195 MB. Looks like some app draining free space on internal memory. I did video recording today on SD card, may be video recorder is buggy? I also had Locus map for some time, but then I deleted it with Uninstaller App.
Another possible clue - HTC Car Panel uses 50 MB for maps. Where they are? On internal memory?
Anyone can suggest what could cause this problem?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s).
Dalvik cache is on the internal memory and can be huge depending on apps installed
try moving the dalvik cash to your SD, you can use Terminal off the market to move it, youll also need busybox - take a look http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/A2SD
Also InsertCoin may have an option to move it using a pre-installed app, i know RCMix s 1.7 as a cool app to do it, i would be surprised in the InsertCoin builds didn't have it as well.
Or use a data2sd RoM and have the worry of space gone

Hi,
I run Leedroid HD V3.3.3. (Android 2.3.3), with Data++ so I am S-off have reformatted my NAND memory (CM7 Hboot I think) and 1GB EXT partition on my SD card.
So the point is, I should have more then enough space for apps and stuff. But I keep getting the message "phone is getting low on storage". When I go to "settings ->manage application". I see 267MB used, only 20MB free.
But when I add the apps I have installed, there is no way I have 267MB worth of apps installed...
I already tried clearing cache partition in recovery mode. And also tried to clear browser cache and history.
I searched google and found a lot of people with similar problems, but no real fix anywhere...
Can someone help please?
Grtz
Download diskusage app and check. Your app data is on /data so it is not that hard to fill /data partition on CM7R2. I have roughly 50mb free.
So how can I fix this then?
You can also check via Titanium Backup menu (app usage or sth like this), the best method is changing version of hboot (if Your ROM support other hboot!) or delete items which You don't use, move some apps to SD (if You use ROM in which we can move apps) with APP2SD app

have you read through all of the FAQ for that rom, i found it very useful
it's likely you're running low because of dalvik cache on nand by default, you can move it to sd via a zip from that post. I used to run that rom, had plenty of space with cm7 hboot and dalvik on sd.

i agree, deleting unused apps is often the easiest way!
but no, no need to manually 'move to SD' with this rom, keep everything on 'internal', then apps will be moved to the partition by default.
(you can move to sd, but then you're using the FAT32 partition of the card, hence wasting the partition)
Check if you have correctly installed D2SD script.
Probably you have to move dalvik cache to your SD. I have a different Rom but had the same problem, moving dalvik cahce fixed it for me.
thanks for all the replies,
sorry I kinda lost eye of this thread (because it's my brothers phone)
but I will definately try to move the Dalvik to SD, hope that works.
Greetings
try a rom with amarullz's AD2SDX, like Runnymede AIO - by sebastiaan15
before i only had 15 MB free (had to deleting randomly some apps), now 340MB free (same apps installed).
must by s-off and an CM7r2 HBOOT
Moving Dalvik to Cache with the script from Leedroid's topic worked like a charm,
thanks everyone.
Grtz!
Hi all,
Running a bit low on storage space at the moment.
In settings it says that I have 66mb internal mem free for apps but when I try to download and install an app like Google goggles (roughly 5 mb) it says internal memory low
Cleared cache on Google Play store and dalvik cache using supercharger (if that helps) but that didn't help... any suggestions?
On another note, if I install link2sd does my stock kernel ICS .562 support a ext4 partition?
Cheers!
Im getting the same issue here. Im running Official ICS and have deleted the bloatware and un-needed system apps.
My internal says 56mb but cant install apps without deleting one or two that i dont use or move to sd.

Try a RAM/cache cleaner from the market, there are a few free good ones. And yes, ext4 is supported.
Sceptical of so many memory "fixes" I did grab one for the market, Memory Booster Lite (Tablet) by Imoblife Inc. I thought I don't need more menory I need more space, was down to 37 megs out of 252 after moving all I could to SD, and only installed not even 20 apps. After install not even a reboot, back up to 122. I sure hope that some fixes are in the works for ICS updates as the internal memory on my GB 2.3.6 phone is 1.5 gigs and again only 252 megs on my ICS 4.03 tablet. When someone comes up with a way to "partition magic" these parts let me know becasue this is nuts.
Thanks again for the insight as I can now continue to load up my tablet with useless stuff

Thanks for your response. I have tried quite a few of these cleaners but they don't really do the job for me. Ram/cache cleaners seem to be temporary and for cache it just builds itself up again after a reboot.
Managed to delete some useless system apps/data which has also sped up my system quite a bit.
I will give the ext4 a try when I get some time.
Cheers,
I also have the same problem but worse I only use about 7 phone only apps roughly 50mb altogether and it says I only got 9% (about 36mb) left.
Last time this happened I wiped my phone, but as the weeks go by the free memory keeps going down even though I don't install anything else.
I currently use zdbox task killer & official Sony rom.
If someone can find a solution to this, please tell.

i think you can try use ext 2 if problem with ext4..
or you can partition your sd card via recovery, and give swap memory about 256MB..
install link2 sd aplication and then choose ext 2 (first time you open link2sd app)
and reboot your phone..
and from link2sd app you can move all apps to sd card..
you can also make link2sd automatic link your apps..
you should use the app link2sd to solve that problem...
Don't think you understand.. all the apps I installed in the phone should only take about 10% memory including cache etc.
I rooted and pretty much moved every app. The only ones that stayed were for stability reasons such as smart keyboard or beautiful widgets.
Basically only solution I found so far is a hard reset, but after about 4 months it will be back to 9% again.

I've been using Link2SD for a while, and I thought I had still a lot of space (~70 MB), cause in the system settings/applications it said that, but when I checked the free space with Link2SD it said that I only have ~10 MB, and now I can't install anything.
I already cleared the cache partition, now I have ~25 MB, but it's still not too much.
Did I do something badly or how can I only have so small space?

- Link everything to SD card.
- Get titanium backup pro from somewhere.. in options select integrate system davlik into rom. Maybe you have to delete some unused applications from system if your ROM is big.
- if on sense ROM use these commands as the last resort, also it may have few bugs like apps crashing. Restart if that happens.
