HTC Desire on official android 2.3.3 firmware (RUU)
Few weeks ago I found lack of free space on internal memory (/data).
I rooted my device, and got content from /data to my desktop.
I learned that file /data/data/com.android.htcprofile/anr_history.txt used all free space (about 40M).
Content of file - something like this

I found some info about this in google:
1) ANR = Application Not Responding
2) dalvikvm stack trace file '/data/data/com.android.htcprofile/anr_history.txt'
What is it exactly and how can I stop it?
I have the same file, my is 2mb.
I deleted. After reboot i have new with 0 bytes.
I don't know how to stop this.

Gingerbread 2.3.3 RUU Rooted S-Off with Link2SD partition 512MB
Today i realized that i have the same problem!!!
Mine was about 41MB and i dont know how and why was created!!
It's a log of crashes, which is of no use when you're not actively debugging. I have provided a solution and explanation here:
atlas.hasselbalch.com/android/anr-using-my-space
(Sorry, I can't link directly, since I'm a noob)
i've a desire running GB (official), and i've 147 MB free Internal storage (should), but after i rooted it, the internal used about 20 MB, and dont know what app used it, even i have factory reset the phone, clear storage, wipe everything, the gmail not yet pushed, it always the same, the internal memory used about 20 MB, can anyone help me, is this because the dalvik or else?
i've rooted my desire using revolutionary have an s-off, recovery using clockworkmod
just want to know, where the 20 MB goes
for a while now I've been getting low space warnings, and each time moved some more apps to SD card. what puzzled me was I hadn't been installing new apps, just updating.
I cleared the dalvik cache and it only helped for a while, so I started digging some more, "du -ks * | sort -n" at the top of /data, and working my way down to the biggest space hogs, I found com.android.htcprofile directory had this huge anr_history.txt file!!
googled and found this discussion.
my anr_history.txt was 197MB, and given my desireZ running virtuousUnity doesn't have the largest data partition (?1300MB?) that was huge loss of space.
I renamed the file, rebooted, and then deleted it, and now I have 27% free space.
i do have the same problem. i have htc chacha with 150 internal memory. i managed to use combination of link2sd and titanium backup to move both of application files and data to my sd card so in result i had 130 mb free space left and the rest were used by android. aftr 2 week i found my freespace is decreased to 20 mb and it wasnt being used by apps. after looking for large files i ended up to find this file using more than 100 mb of my internal memory.
i deleted the file but it again started to gain size and become like 8 mb after 24 hour.
anyone came up with any solution?

Perfect - thanks. I did this using the "Root Browser" app. It stopped my partner's Wildfire S having the ever growing '/data/data/com.android.htcprofile/anr_history.txt' file. Great to finally get rid of the problem.
Previously, without doing the change of owner and permissions, the file soon grew and became an issue again after just deleting it.

I'm trying to download some updates from the android market. Some work fine BUT others do not download. I go into CATLOG to see what the issue is and I see "download aborted - not enough free space in internal storage" .. I have tried going into recovery and erasing the cache and Dalvip cache and that DID not solve the issue. How can I resolve this so I can download apps? I am running Sprint lovers rom and it has been working. Im on an older version of his rom.
Thanks .....

Try moving your apps to your sd card. Make sure your picture and music are saved on your sd card and not your internal memory. Once you do all that, your phone should run better as well.

99% of my apps ARE on the SD card.. What else can I try???
OK so I figured out the ISSUE I think.. the market download to the /CACHE folder and if it is FULL it wont download anymore. I used ROOT EXPLORER to erase everything in the /CACHE folder and it then was able to download my updates from the market..
Still have errors. Any ideas?

Backup with TB
flash a new rom after wiping.
See if it works
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
Reformat SD card should clear up the problem!

If you said that /cache is getting full, consider wiping your cache in recovery mode.
You can really drill down to where your space is going, though, if you have adb.
Launch an adb shell and run this command:
Code:
#du -hc -d 1
you should see an output like this:
Code:
# du -hc -d 1
du -hc -d 1
0 ./app-cache
0 ./sd-ext
0 ./config
1.7M ./cache
0 ./acct
6.7G ./mnt
0 ./wimax
0 ./wifi
113.5M ./system
0 ./sys
136.0K ./sbin
0 ./proc
0 ./hotspot
0 ./dhcp
60.3M ./data
0 ./0777
0 ./0770
0 ./01777
0 ./root
12.0K ./dev
6.9G .
6.9G total

This will show you where your space is going.
Hi, this is my first post, so I hope i'm in the right place and i'm writing the right things..
Just yesterday i flahed my Wave with the firmware XIKA1 and i noticed something really boring.
Windows7 x86 recognizes 3 memory space :
OSP (operative system partition as far as i know.. )
Phone (the internal memory of the wave)
and Card (my Sd Card)
Now what's wrong is that Phone is 390Mb only and this is what happen when i try to install something: (setting the installation setting to "internal memory")
Through Kies i click on "Install" and the "Download" starts.
The phone memory begins to be filled and (in the case of Sygic Mobile [330MB]) the "free space" became 30Mb (or nearly). Entering in this folder I noticed some folder, whitin this folder there was something like "tmp" etc.. I opened it and i found a file with the extension .OAP (330MB).
When the installation progress was finished the OAP file disappeared and the OSP part was decreased of 300MB! (how the hell bada transfered 300mb in 1 sec??)
But it's normal..and now i want to install Let's Golf 2 HD which is 299MB BUT! i cant.. because Bada think there is no sufficient space!
How can this be possibile? I have still 361Mb even if i should have something like 500mb (I just noticed that uninstalling Let's Golf (which is 50MB) I reached to unlock 136mb!! (I had 225mb of free space in OSP, I uninstalled let's golf 1 and now i have 361MB). I'm getting crazy.
Hoping you have an aswer to this strange result I apologize for my English and whish you a good day.

when you click 'install' the application package is downloaded to the phone (.oap file, it's a classic compressed installation archive), then the phone will install/decompress it in the appropriate directory (according to the chosen installation target) and finished it eliminates the oap file
(eg. Let's Golf installation archive is 55mb but application files are 135mb)
... I really feel stupid. I completely forgot that the size of the installation file isn't the size of the installed software. So maybe Let's Golf 2 HD has an installation of 300MB but it take a lot more.. Sad.
One doubt remain: The Wave should has 2GB of internal memory. If 800Mb are for OSP and 400MB for "Phone" ... where are the other 800MB we could use?
may be useful to you:

Thanks nbates66
So our misterious 800MB are divided into:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 and /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 !
I hope that with Bada 2.0 we will have part of this space usable
Keep up the good work with Android porting Good Luck.

I agree, perhaps it's because they designed the OS to store in same place sms+email and emails could be html with lots of image and especially large attachments..
This is a screen of TB. I just partitioned to ext3 by way of reapers tutorial and did a wipe and install of the new RC1. I have been reading this isn't required but a good idea. I actually had RC1 for awhile before this. Once I installed the 3d rosie I noticed some issues so I went the suggested route.
I have never seen the break down like this. System ROM, Internal, SD Card, and SDCard (a2sd).
I know what the top 3 are but had a question about the later. That thread is just moving WAY to fast so when I search I am getting a ton of useless info.
I am not to familiar with the a2sd, if someone could reference me to decent instructions I would be greatful. Preferably to this rom specific if that matters. Also, would moving apps over increase my System memory?
I should say I tried it once with CM7 but after I moved some apps it botched up a lot of things(not recognized, no widget available ect...). I also used TB to do it so I'm not sure if that was a no no or not.
Thank you
Anyone please?
Since this guide was posted, I'm getting questions ask on how to use Darktremor Apps2SD.
Darktremor Apps2SD is a command line interface (CLI) program (a GUI is planned, but has not been built).
You will need either a terminal program from the Android Marketplace, or you will need ADB from the Android Software Development Kit (SDK).
If you are using a terminal program, simply start up the program. Type su to allow the terminal program to gain superuser access (if you are using Superuser.apk to manage your superuser permission, this will automatically trigger a popup on the very first run. Press Accept to allow the terminal program superuser access).
If you are using ADB, simply navigate to the directory you stored the Android SDK in. Then navigate to the Tools directory under the SDK folder. Type adb shell in a command line on your computer (ADB can be found in the SDK under the Tools folder).
Both of these methods should bring you to a prompt that displays a pound sign (#).
Once you have the superuser prompt, simply type /system/bin/a2sd followed by the command you wish to use (i.e. /system/bin/a2sd check)
The list of commands are below.
Quote: Syntax
Syntax: /system/bin/a2sd command
command is one of the following:
Quote: Standard Apps2SD Commands: --------------------------------------------------reinstall Moves free and paid apps to the ext2/ext3/ext4 partition on your secure digital card. Removes the No A2SD flag file. This is used if you have already executed an a2sd remove command. Otherwise, this part is automatically performed when Apps2SD is started. File removed: /data/.noa2sd
remove Moves free and paid apps to the internal phone storage. Creates the No A2SD flag file. File created: /data/.noa2sd Quote: Swap Partition Commands: --------------------------------------------------reswap Removes the No Swap flag. Allows A2SD to activate the swap partition. This is used if you have already executed an a2sd noswap command. Otherwise, this part is automatically performed when Apps2SD is started. Note: This command has no effect in CyanogenMod 6. Swap space is disabled in the kernel. File removed: /data/.noswap
noswap Creates the No Swap flag. Prevents A2SD from activating the swap partition. Note: This command has no effect in CyanogenMod 6. Swap space is disabled in the kernel. File created: /data/.noswap Quote: Dalvik Cache Commands: --------------------------------------------------cachesd Moves Dalvik cache files to the ext2/ext3/ext4 partition on your secure digital card. Creates Dalvik Cache to SD flag. Quote: Caution: If your phone fails to mount the ext2/ext3/ext4 partition and your dalvik-cache is pointed to the SD card, you will likely end up in a boot loop. Execute a2sd nocache from adb shell to rectify the issue. File created: /data/.dalvikcacahe File removed: /data/.dcpartition
cachesdreset Same as cachesd above, but erases the contents of the dalvik-cache after move. This performs both the a2sd cachesd and a2sd resetcache all in one command. File removed: /data/.dcpartition
cachepart Moves Dalvik cache files to the /cache partition in your phone. Creates Dalvik Cache to Cache Partition flag. Quote: Caution: Some phones do not have enough space to put the dalvik-cache on the cache partition. Also, some roms that have SenseUI installed will not work well with the dalvik-cache on the cache partition. If you experience issues such as force closes, try moving the dalvik-cache to the SD card (a2sd cachesd) or internal storage (a2sd nocache) instead. File created: /data/.dcpartition File removed: /data/.dalvikcache
cachepartreset Same as cachepart above, but erases the contents of the dalvik-cache after move. This performs both the a2sd cachepart and a2sd resetcache all in one command. File removed: /data/.dalvikcache
nocache Moves Dalvik cache files to the internal phone storage. Removes all Dalvik Cache flags. File removed: /data/.dcpartition, /data/.dalvikcache
nocachereset Same as nocache above, but erases the contents of the dalvik-cache after move. This performs both the a2sd nocache and a2sd resetcache all in one command. File removed: /data/.dcpartition. /data/.dalvikcache
resetcache Clears the dalvik cache and restarts phone. Quote: Apps2SD Diagnostic Commands: --------------------------------------------------check Performs a symlink and flag file check on your setup. Outputs a report that shows you if there are issues with your Apps2SD setup.
repair Performs a repair of all symlinks based on flag file activation.
diskspace Shows disk space statistics for the ext partition.
sysinfo Displays information about your phone, partitions, swap, and more. Also writes a dump file that has an entire profile of your phone. This is for troubleshooting only. File Created: /data/dtsysdump.txt
swapspace Shows swap space statistics for all swap space active on the phone. Has no effect with CyanogenMod 6, as the swap space does not activate Quote: ZipAlign Commands: --------------------------------------------------align Performs a one-time zipalign on all APK files in /data/app and /data/app-private.
zipalign Allows ZipAlign to execute during the boot process. Creates the ZipAlign flag file. File Created: /data/.zipalign
nozipalign Prevents ZipAlign from executing during the boot process. Removes the ZipAlign flag file. File Removed: /data/.zipalign Quote: Dalvik Setting Commands: --------------------------------------------------jit Installs DalvikVM JIT. Quote: WARNING: Do not run this command if your phone has NAND protection active. nojit Removes DalvikVM JIT. Quote: WARNING: Do not run this command if your phone has NAND protection active. defaultheap Resets the Dalvik heap size to the default heap size.

There is also a GUI in the market that makes this really easy its called a2sdGUI

When I setup Synergy the other day, for the first time,m I noticed I had only 124 mb free on Internal, even though I've had a 1 gig EXT3 partition and a 64 mb Swap partition.
Now, the way it was explained to me is that A2SD is not built into Synergy, but instead, in the Synergy Updater, you have to flash the modified version via the updater.
Then you can run your swap commands. However, when I run a2sd reswap, it failed on mine, so I was told to reformat my SD Card, and setup a 2 gig EXT3 and then run the a2sd again and that should fix it, which I haven't done yet.
Here's the results of my a2sd reswap, attached and my TB screen
Try using the reinstall command

Looks like it could be working... processing all my apps, now rebooting
EDIT! Same thing on a2sd reswap... command failed.
I think my next step is to back up my sd card, then reformat it, and repartition to a 2 gig EXT3 and try again
Thanks for the read and the help peeps! Its long so ill have to catch it at home instead of the app lol.
Thanks again

Here's what I did/doing.
I reformatted my SD Card, repartitioned to 2 gig ext and 128 swap.
Then I wiped everything and reinstalled Synergy. After setting it up, but before I restored my apps, I'm at 363 free internal. That's a great thing.
Now, once my restore is done, I'm at 316 free internal, so it's looking good!
Ok I am still lost here, sorry guys.
I just moved over to Synergy/Kingdom with 7/14 and now I show this.
Also, in that thread I was doing some nosing around and tried 'link2sd'. The app2sd thing i am still trying to figure out some so I thought this would be a bit more novice but I still am not sure how this is working and where I am actually freeing up space.
With link2sd does it move apps from the system partition over? After moving about 10 apps of decent size I went to check the partitions in the app and nothing had changed.
hellppppp meeee /ET Voice
lol
I have a really strange behavior on my data partition:
df show that the partition is almost full (1294 Mb used in a 1299 Mb partition). I got a low space warning this morning, that's how I noticed it, but I am not sure since when exactly I have so much in /data.
Now the strange thing is that I do not have so much apps installed, and indeed, using adb shell, a "du -a -d1 /data" report about 307 Mb used (157 Mb in /data/app, 83 Mbin /data/dalvik-cache, 60 Mb in /data/data). This is perfectly in line with what application manager tell me on my phone, if I quickly sum the reported spaces of the different apps installed.
I do not see any big file in the partiton (anyway, du -a should have counted files directly in data, not only directories), not even hidden files (starting with a ".", for those not familiar with unix conventions).
So now I wonder, where is this Gb of space gone? I should have at least 900 Mb free, but have 4 Mb (and this is after I removed an unused app, just after the low space warning I had 20 Kb free only!)
I suspect a rogue app doing something stupid (like keeping a very large log) or nasty (some malware), probably in the last ones I have installed....but how can it use memory without it showing somewhere (even with direct tools like "du")???
BTW, my last apps are, in reverse order of installation, blueputdroid, StabilityTest, CPU Spy, Barcode scanner,....
CPUSpy is a possible candidate for keeping a large log, but it is a quite well know app, so I somehow doubt it is the culprit...
Anybody had a similar problem, of some new ideas how to solve this? a tool that can check what use all this space on /data?
I am on CM7, nightly 110817-1717-BOOT179. I just finsihed a titanium backup of my apps, and my next step (once my battery is charged) is to reinstall CM7 after a data wipe (I am a little bit reluctant about it, cause I will have to reinstall all apps and swype.
[update]
Before cleaning data and doing a full reinstall of CM7, I did a simple reboot and tadaa, problem gone: df shows the same 340 Mb in /data partition as du gave, so missing space is back. Looks like a possible CM7 problem, I will report in CM7 thread...This is a little bit worying though, I fear fs corruption of my internal memory...
Thanks for any infos/solution about this,
cheers,
Greg.
Hi-
I'm attempting to update my GT-I9192 Duo using the update to KitKat 4.4.2 provided by samsung (at least I think it's provided by Samsung, my phone prompted me to download the update). Anyway, I download the update (526.13 Mb), and the phone asks me if I want to go ahead and install. I say "Install". Instead of installing the update it just spent an hour downloading, it tries to download it again (I think).... The error message says: "Unable to install software update (526.13 MB). Not enough space in device storage or SD card. Delete some items."
In the Storage section of the Device Manager, my device apparently has 8.00 GB of total space broken down into the following:
System Memory - 2.60 GB
Applications - 2.43 GB
Pictures, Videos - 339 MB
Audio (music, ringtones, pod... - 1.02GB
Downloads - 7.24 MB
Miscellaneous Files - 1.11 GB
Available - 514 MB (NOTE: This is AFTER downloading the FOTA update.zip file, which is 526.13 MB)
--------------------------
I also have an SD card with 14.83GB. 9.72GB is taken up by Miscellaneous Files, and 5.11 GB is Available.
While I am not an android developer, I know my way around *nix systems, and have done my fair share of tarball source installs. The way I see it, the error message can be interpreted in a few ways:
1) It's actually trying to download the FOTA update.zip file again for some reason
2) It needs more than 514 MB of free space on the phone (not the SD card) to unpack the zip file
3) Something is misconfigured
I have not rooted the phone, and save for the samsung bloatware, all the apps on the phone are up to date.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks,
C

SOLVED! The error message seems to be generated because of interpretation #2 (see above), that the update needs more thant 514 MB of free space on the phone. Sorry to clog the forum, but maybe someone else will find this useful
