[Q] Internal memory full

Hello everyone.
I'm running Oxygen 2.0.1 with A2SD enabled.
My internal memeory seems to be almost completely full though i have nothing installed in it.
I cleared the cache a look through almost all my apps, but i really can't figure out why i have no space left.
Usually i have more than 100MB free space even with many more applications installed, so something must be using all my internal mem.
Do i have to clean my internal memory each time i flash a new ROM or something like that?

When you flash a new rom you do a factory reset and clear dalvik cache. As for your memory being almost full, depending on how the a2sd script works and what it puts onto the SD card, data can still install to internal memory. Like the dalvik cache. If you can, use a file manager to see what is using memory.

could you please tell me how i use a file manager to check what's using my memory?

Use root explorer. It will show the space available on each nand partition.

Okay thank you all guys.
I bought root explorer and look around a bit, and ofcause i came across the dalvik-cache.
The Dalvik-cache is nothing less than 85mb, which is pretty huge right?
is there any way i can shrink the case/is it possible that the cache contains information from my old rom, which does nothing else than using the space?

You could wipe it through recovery then reboot and see what it looks like then..

I have a problem similar to this, but I had installed Intercepter-NG, and forgot to tell the program to use my SD card, and it filled up the internal memory with logs.
Now I can't get to the logs, because I have lost my USB cable.
Is there a free program for the Galaxy Y S5360 that will let me look in Internal Memory and delete the logs??

You don't need your usb cable to browse your own phone
There are many free programs, search the play store for a file manager...
Uninstall some apps if you need to make space
Or...is there an option within this interceptor app to delete the logs directly?

Ext Partition isnt used

Hey,
I am using insertcoin on my desire and have a 1gb Ext Partition.
Titanium Backup says the half of it is used but my phone says my phone space is full.
Why? How can i make the Ext Partition use?
Metin

The fact that you got Insertcoin installed proves that you have a working EXT partition. Now if you are using the CM7r2 version of the ROM, be advised that the dalvik cache was not moved to the ext partition for speed considerations. That's probably the part that is full on your phone. I use FreeSpace app on the market to view every partition. It's better than the one built inside Titanium Backup imo.

No i am using a2sd and want the apps to be installed to the Ext partition.
Ive tried link2sd but this makes some apps like opera unstartable

They should be installed to the ext part out of the box. Although it's been a long time I cant remember if I'm right. And yeah using another app could just mess the script baadnews implemented for the rom.

And what i have to do?

What partition type do you have? Ext3 or Ext4? I remember using EXT4 with Insertcoin.

I use Ext4

I run the CM7r2 version of InsertCoin. Your apps are automatically installed on the EXT4 partition BUT not all the app is stored there so some of the internal memory is still used when you install an app.
How many apps have you installed?

I have 60 apps or so, but i see the apps folder is linked to Ext. My data/data folder is about 60mb, would it help to move it to Ext? But where are the other 60mb used on Internal? Which folder would best to move?
How i move it?

I believe moving anything will cause problems.

Are there any suggestions? I have a 1gb Ext Partition but i can only use half of it?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310309
I ran this on Sandvold's ICS with a class 4 SDcard. This has a flashanle zip. But as you can see in the thread you have to manually install it. I tried the ICS zip with a fresh InsertCoin flash and it falied. I have not attempted to install it manually yet as I have been focused on installing and learning to live with s Linux OS...
Try this.
Edit
I meant to say the download from sandvold's site for the ICS ROM is a flashable zip. It appears that you need to manually install it for other ROMs.

I think the libs of apps like opera are very big.
I think it would help if i link them to the system partition.
Link2sd link them to SD but would it be possible to link them to system?

Read this...
http://docs.insertcoin-roms.org/master/en-US/misc/free-space-without-data2ext.html
I remember someone made a little script based on this to make it easy. There was a thread about it.

I ve read that moving data to Ext isnt good because it damals the SD but can i do it same way to system Partition?

Probably not. From what I understand, when the phone boots it reads the system partition first before it reads the SD card. If you link system to sd-ext, I believe the phone will not boot at all as the system files cannot be accessed during the initial startup since they are on sd. I'm not an expert but I haven't heard of anyone moving system to ext.
If you are really after more storage than the Sense hybrid, check the Supernova ROM. It's the official GB rom from HTC with a lot of space for apps. Downside is it's the old Sense.

I mean a symbolic /data/data/*/lib=>system (or may to SD, but system would better) because the libs are big.
I have tried link2sd for it but a2sd deleted all libs from SD.

[Q] Link2SD not recognizing 2nd SD partition (Epic 4G Touch)

Relatively new Android user, running stock EL29 Gingerbread rooted with ClockworkMod on a Samsung Epic 4G Touch (Sprint). I have had major problems with my phone continually rebooting which I'm pretty sure I've confirmed is due to having too many apps moved to the external SD card with the stock App2SD command.
I've read that the only workaround for this is to use Link2SD with a second external SD card partition. I have been trying for many hours to get this working, but Link2SD will never recognize my second partition. I've tried many different options with formatting the external SD card, but nothing ever works.
I've found some posts on this site by d12unk13astard that I read to indicate that Link2SD won't work on the Epic 4G Touch because of the way the internal memory is formatted on this phone. Can anyone confirm that Link2SD can or cannot be used on the Epic 4G Touch? If it can, any idea how I can get it to recognize my 2nd partition? Any help is VERY MUCH appreciated!

I talked to the guy who made link2sd and gave him a logcat of a command he wanted me to type in terminal, still waiting on a confirmation or solution to this problem as well. I would suggest you also ask about this in the Android section of xda under apps/games. Hopefully an update to link2sd will fix our issue were having.

This^^
Heres a couple pics proving why this app has not been working for our phones(epic 4g touch)
As I thought, link2sd can only see our internal memory card that Samsung has put in our phones mounted as /sdcard. Instead of our external sdcard which has the 2nd partition needed for link2sd to work.
Since the internal memory being mounted as /sdcard cant be partitioned link2sd fails to work. As you can see it fails to see my external 32GB class 10 sdcard on link2sd app.

Insufficient storage Link2SD error?

I'm not sure what the problem is here. I'm running CM9A6 via the RobotoMod 1.0.2 ROM, and I couldn't get the default S2E to work at all. I installed link2SD as a workaround, and while I know it has it's limitations, I can't determine why it won't link an app.
I downloaded Where's my Perry? for my kids, and due to it's size (50+ MB), I wanted to get it out of my internal storage. It isn't working, though - link2SD is throwing an error saying there's "insufficient storage". I'll let the screenshots speak for themselves:

Perry?free is already on the SDCard. You are trying to install it to internal memory and then getting Link2SD to link it back to the SDCard. As you only have 51.18MB free on your internal storage and Perry?free is 52.73MB it won't work. Leave it where it is.

Hi,
For CM9, use Ext4 on 2nd partition on SDcard. Do you have it?.
Link2sd was working fine with me when I had CM9Alpha7. Try only with Link2sd(don't have multiple SDcard apps).
Select 'Autolink' on Link2sd settings. If you do right, all apps will be installed on SD card.

2nd part is formatted Ext2. It works fine other than this one program, and I have it configured to install to SD.
I'll try linking just the dalvik-cache and library, and see if that works, leaving the app on the SD card.

If you bothered to look at the images provided by the OP, you will see that Link2SD is working fine. Changing the partition to Ext4 will not magically create more internal space.

See tats the problem wit link2sd. I used it for a long time after using data2sd. Now I'm back to daya2sd. It may boot slower but it gives u happiness.

Cannot See External (Micro) SD Card

Hey guys,
Just got my new microSD card (64GB) and when I went to put it in the S3, it said that it was damaged and needed to be formatted. Formatting didn't work on the phone so I read up on the issue and someone suggested formatting it with EaseUS Partition tool. Did so ... formatted to FAT32. When I then insert into the phone, no issues ... or at least no warnings.
Put on a test video file and insert into the phone and use Root Explorer to go to external_sd in the root menu ... nothing shows up.
Any thoughts?
AOKP JB Milestone 1

I'm not completely sure about this but I think the 64gb cards need to be formatted as exFat, which I believe only stock touchwiz kernels support. So if I'm right you can't use it with an aokp or CM rom. Like I said though, I'm not totally sure about it.

Found a solution.
1. Download and install EaseUS Partition Master (http://www.partition-tool.com/download.htm). I used the Home Edition. One slight thing to note is that EaseUS asks you for a series of things to do to the SD card before it actually does them. So you tell it to delete a partition, create a partition, format it a specific way and THEN you apply all the actions and it runs it like a batch file.
2. Delete any existing partitions on the SD card.

}
3. Create a partition
4. Create the partition as the Primary Partition and set the File System as FAT32
5. Apply the changes
6. Choose Yes
You should now be able to plug the MicroSD card into your S3 and have it recognized. If you are using Root Explorer, you can find your external SD card in the root menu under ... you guessed it ... external_sd.
Hope this helps. Cheers

Thanks for posting your solution! Definately good to know you can use the 64gb card this way. Could've sworn id seen folks say it had to be exFat, but I'm glad you put that rest for me!
Just to be sure though, you can see the full available storage correctly?
Thanks again and glad you got it figured out. :thumbup:

Yes, I can see the full available storage capacity. It currently shows as 249.88MB used (2 video files) and 59.22GB free. The missing space is normal due to the drive manufacturers claiming larger capacities than is actually usable.

Not to thread jack or anything, I figured it was relevant to the topic instead of making a new one. I'm having the same exact issue, except my card isn't 64gb its only 4gb. I formatted to fat32 and the phone acts like it wants to load, but Doesn't do anything.
Any idea or suggestions? Should I change to the stock kernel? I'm on liquid smooth rc7 btw.

You could give that a shot, but I can't think of any kernel not supoirting fat32.
You could also try using the sd formatter tool from www.sdcard.org
Or try what the op did to get his 64gb card working.
