Hello guys, i am having a problem, last night my Adobe flash player automatically got updated, it was previously a system app which was done with titanium, after it got updated, i integrated it into the rom like before.
however i lost 3mb in the process i tried cleaning the dalvick catch and i used sd maid also to delete any dead apps but both did not find anything to clean.
I tired uninstalling it and installing my previous version via titanium backup, but sill i have lost 3mb, Any ideas to how i can retrieve my internal space back?? now I have turned off the automatic updates. thanks.

Were you having the previous installation of Flash player in the sd card?
No, it was originally from the market.
Seriously, you are complaining about 3 MB?
Nevertheless, back to topic: When system apps are updated, the updates are always installed to /data partition. Don't know why, but this gives you the possibility to uninstall updates, which could not be done if updates were installed to /system.

Whenever my internal space starts to get low and some of the applications have been updated more than once I uninstall them and the re-install, it seems to be that my phone is storing data after every update so updating straight to the most recent version seems to take up less space.
I dont know if this is 100% correct but it seems to work for me.
Its not about 3mb, thats one case, if several updates happen then you will have no internal space. I dont have a table for my desire, after all my main apps installed im left with a limited 25mb of internal space so every mb matters. il try that aswel TheDarkenedPoet though. thanks for replying

Ever since I upgraded my Desire to stock Froyo from Telus, some apps I've tried to install are failing. It just says that the installation was unsuccessful. I currently have 24mb of internal space, and 6.4gb of SD card space.
Any ideas why this is happening? It's really starting to bug me.
Ditto
Apologies for posting in the Desire thread, however my unrooted HTC Incredible with 2.2 is having the same issues. Apps will download and attempt to install, only to fail.

what apps are failing to install?
Any app really. I tried to upgrade trillian, and it was failing to work. I don't know why, but once I actually uninstalled what was already on my phone, it started working again. Same thing with Google Translate app.

are you using apps2sd? myabe your ext partition is full
My apps install to my phone by default, then I use App 2 SD to move it. I currently have 6gb of free external space.
Hmm ok. I notced that they fail to update already isntall apps if the App is on my SD card.
Any solutions to that?
I had this with LeeDrOiD, you will need root and S=Off, remove the smdl2tmp1.ascec in: /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec.
As always, do a nandroid backup.
My Desire's running the current Stock ROM, and is rooted via Unrevoked with S-Off via AlphaRev.
I'm constantly skirting close to the 15Mb remaining data limit. The thing is, I'm running fewer apps than ever before these days, what with apps getting bigger and system updates using up precious memory space.
So I thought I'd use Titanium Backup to integrate the system updates into the ROM and free up data space. So I nandroided, s-off'd and ran the batch to integrate the updates into the ROM.
The apps in question (off the top of my head) were Flash, Maps, Gmail, Youtube, Market, and a couple of others.
It didn't work.
At first it looked as if it had, but I was getting force closes when I ran them.
I tried doing a force close repair via ROM Manager, but that didn't help.
The only thing that did work was apparently Flash. But then I was browsing around because I didn't getting the memory back I was expecting and I can still see the flash files in data.
So the updates have been recovered back into data and I'm back where I started.
So how do I do this?
Should TB work? What's the best way to actually integrate these files into the ROM? Which files need moving? Is flash just libflashplayer.so, because there are 3 other flash .so files? Do I need to modify anything to point to the new locations?
I really hope that the new gingerbread ROM doesn't immediately need system updates, but I expect to be disappointed.

To be honest I don't really know the answer I've never tried.... Could it be the permissions? Root Explorer - data/apps... find app you want and edit permissions ?
Why not just get apps2sd or data2sd?
I'm not against apps2sd or data2sd, it's just that I dodn't like the idea of having two versions of the same app on the phone - it's just a waste.
I'm thinking I'll apply the upgrade when it comes (if it's any good) - hopefully most of the system app updates will be built in already. Then I'll look for a version that strips back system to the bare minimum and repartitions to minimise system/maximise data, and also has apps2sd or data2sd (not sure which at the mo).
I do find it strange, though, that so few experiences of TB's integrate into ROM feature are discussed on the net.

Hi guys,
I think there's a virus on my phone.
I got an error message saying the internal storage is full. I tried deleting some apps but it just filled right up again to 1.2gb in a matter of seconds (and adding up all the storage usage of the apps listed there comes nowhere near 1.2gb).
I just did a full reinstall of everything (wiped everything, new gapps, new cm7, etc) but 5 minutes after having done so the error is there again.
Anybody know what's going on?
Thanks
I doubt a virus or any kind of android malware is capable of doing that. You should try and flash an sbf to be sure to have done a full clean wipe. Factory reset only resets data, not system so if the bug is in your system it's still there. It's probably the case.
CM7 + CM9 double boot
I have the same issue. It started after i installed cm 7.2. What should i do?
same thing here
just started but i havent flashed a newer version of CM7 , been using it for months and just 3 days ago got the same message , although i did a fresh install 12 hours later storage full again. wtf is going on
Either a rare bug, or maybe your memory chips are damaged. But that's unlikely. Have you tried flashing a new SBF + another version of CM7?
Are you actually having a performance problem or just reading an app-watcher app? I'm on stock 2.2.1 and if I run the built-in Task Manager it will always warn me I'm maxing memory. In my case it means absolutely nothing as that's how Android behaves. And... I get zero slow-downs etc. On some stock phones where memory is really getting maxed out and phones slowing, have heard that activating the "Debugging" option is a work around, although no one is sure why.
Do you use a cracked version of Titanium Backup or one that you did not update to the very last version and were you also recently using the latest Google Play Store (3.5.15 or 3.5.16 - released today) by any chance?
I ask because I know that an slightly out of date version of TB was giving me such problems with Google Store v3.5.15: "out of memory please uninstall some apps" and I had about only 50% of the memory used.. And I've read somewhere that there were issues with the 2 softwares due to changes in Market links and stuff...
To solved that, I've then reverted to my old and trusted version of TB and Market v3.4.4 which only updates to 3.4.7.
I might be beside the track here..but that's my guess anyway.

After you wipe/fresh install uncheck the Restore google thing after signing in. I had the same problem the first wipe/reinstall of cm i did ran out of space in under a hour. the last wipe/install i unchecked google restore and its been a full 24 hours in i've still got storage. I don't know if that will work for you but so far its worked for me.
I've had my phone rooted for ages, deleted bloat, and about 260mb free. I did the Link2sd but this was after a few apps had updated. I've installed/deinstalled loads of apps over time but now find myself with less than 90mb free, all bloat gone, 3 emus installed, Rage of Bahamut, whatsapp, Go Launcher,Sms,Contacts. That's it. Is there an app to system clean internal memory? I use Titanium Backup Pro to back up my important bits. I've flashed firmware before to gain root after ota updates, so have a rough idea of what im doing I think lol. Just started to learn the android SDK tools and adb.
My big question. Can I backup using Tbpro: all data profiles and apps I want to keep. Flash phone (starting from beginning again as as a new phone), root delete bloat, link2sd, reinstall backups, and be good to go?
Or is there an easier way?
Also, I've never flashed new roms/kernels as I don't understand everything yet.
I only use my phone for calls,text,email,emus,few games and that's about it. Is there a Rom/kernel I could flash, to make it more streamlined for what I use it for?
Sorry for the long post and probably asking Qs you've all heard before, but im just starting to get into phone/app developing and thought, who better to ask than the guys in the know, XDA.

Link2SD has options to clear the dalvik cache and normal cache, also ROMwise if you have an r800x (CDMA) you can try Hogwart's COLA rom....both the free version and pro versions of TB can backup apps and their data, which I have used multiple times for my phone. Sometime qhen I've cleared the caches, I've gained up to 120 MBs of free space, which is really nice.

Installed an update on my phone for Viper 4.0.1 and now I only have 600mb left for apps "other" is 6.0.4gb and apps i had installed so far are 515mb before they stopped. They won't install any more updates or anything as I have insufficient storage.6.54gb/6.76gb. Can you increase the 6.76gb at all? As its obviously the custom rom thats so damn large.. I wouldn't mind I don't have any games installed nor any large apps. I need the apps I do have on my phone for day to day use and bought this phone for its massive storage but its annoying I now only have around 600mb left for apps.. Is going back to older firmware the only way?
nm I fixed it, just a factory reset lowered it to 4.88gb used by "other" .
