I recently flashed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957291 Gingerbread version on my HTC Desire GSM, and its working fine.
Just one problem.
It says I do not have sufficient memory remaining to install more apps but my SD Card still has almost 1GB left and my A2SD+ has almost 300MB left.
I used A2SDKiller (flashed right after flashing the ROM) and Data2SDInstaller (flashed after 1st reboot)
Is my method right?
Pls help out, thanks.
download terminal emulator from market and type this:
su
a2sd reinstall
this should work..
it did not work.. after the process ended in terminal emulator, it rebooted.. after entering the OS, most of my apps "aren't installed" but the OS detected my A2SD+..
GOD i had to restore my apps all over again after doing that a2sd reinstall.
my problem was that the OS did not allow me to install apps saying that my memory is full. but i still managed to install some. its like it has a limit set up some where.
and under Manage Applications? my list of applications are there! but they are icon-less and are named after their apks i.e. com.adobe.flashplayer. and after tapping on one of them, i have the option to Uninstall. how can that happen when i cant open the app cos its "Not installed"?
The reason for your issue is most likely that you grabbed the A2SD+ version of the ROM which leaves the dalvik-cache on the internal NAND of your phone. While leaving it on NAND is faster than moving it to the SD card, you run into the issue of it filling up. I suggest, if you feel like reflashing a ROM, flash the D2SD version of the ROM. It's more stable in my experience than D2Whatever and note that the speed loss is minimal. I did not notice the difference when I switched between an A2SD ROM and a D2SD ROM.
I had same problem. Failed to run App2SD+ from terminal.
Just download darktremor and reflash it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719151
Open terminal and run those commands. That solves me the problem
currently flashing Data2Ext version, then flash darkTremor. hopefully it solves my problem.
Anyway, i was just wondering, does this allow the OS to detect my ext partition as "internal storage" just like how CM7 did? and CM7 allowed all apps to be moved to sd manually, MIUI does not.
i don't like the fact that MIUI detects my ext partition as A2SD+
So I've been using this ROM for a while but I have one issue with it that's becoming very annoying, pretty much every week I get sd-ext mount errors being unable to install/download apps and getting reboots every time I try to install anything. The only solution I found to fix this is reformating the sd-ext partition and then I have to reinstall every app...
After a week tho, same issue happens again. This has happened with both a2sd and s2e :/ Am I doing something wrong? The ext4 partition has been formatted on pc using MiniTool.
Link2SD doesn't give me this error afaik but by using that program my internal memory gets full very fast.
Anyone knows anyway to fix this?
There is a long discussion over the use of ext4 on sd-ext and cwm.
The issue is in cwm, not in the cm7.2 rom.
It is said that replacing the script 02gio can fix the problems, but some people have problems despite that.
Link2sd is the safest way right now.
I had the same problem.
I was unmounting my SD card (I don't mean connecting to PC but safe removing), when the phone is on.
Or when I was rebooting it while some app was updating.
So try to avoid it.
S2E is still so unstable so I stoped using it link2sd is super I have 105 apps and still have 50mb free and still I can have more because I dont use link on all apps its unbeleavable fast and theres no crash all day since I use this I have used S2E for month and was getting daily reboots and in the end it corrupted all my apps

105 apps with link2sd? How? Last time I tried it, after installing the 3 angry birds and some apps I ran out of memory...guess I'm missing something?
As for the issues being about not safe removing or removing sdcard...my usb port is broken so I don't really connect my Gio to pc lol and I never remove the sdcard, I get the errors after rebooting the phone mostly :/

When using link2sd, do not use "move to sd", it will send the apps to sd via standard method. Instead, use "link" and check all options (incl. libs). I have 130 mb free with all apps on sd.
If it worked, you see "on sd: 2nd partition" under the app name in link2sd.

Use link to sd option I already have 104 apps and out of space heh I had to make 1gb partition but now its too late still I have all apps that I need and 24mb free

My apps on link2sd used to say: "Linked -> SD Card" or something like that... however I would see internal memory fill up darn fast. Maybe I was choosing wrong options :/

I use S2E as installed default and there is no problem with that. Check your configuration or wipe and do factory reset to see if changed.
Hello, I seem to be having a common problem, but so far no solutions have worked:
When initially downloading or updating a large app (Iron Man digital comic, Temple Run, Where's my Water, etc.) in the Google Play Store, I get the error "Insufficient Space on the Device". However, when I check my free space, I have more than enough space on the system rom, internal space, and internal and external SD cards. Regarding the common solutions, I have tried wiping the cache and data on my play store and download manager apps, wiping cache and dalvik cache, and even using both wifi and cell connections. Oddly enough, I was able to download the Iron Man digital comic over the amazon app store (which doesn't help me with the apps requiring updates through Google Play).
For reference, I am using Calk's EL29 v2.9.2 rom with the EL29 radio and standard kernel.
Thank you for your help in advance.
unmount sd card, install apps, remount sd
I'm still trying to find a fix for this... been having this insufficient space issue for weeks now.
.Do like dices said and un mount sd card then download. If that doesn't work, back up your data and format your sd. Then return data and download.
If you've installed the programs before try sd maid from the store. Check for 'corpses' and remove.

Finally
None of the above solutions worked for me. I had to go and free up a gig of internal space... yes, internal space not sd card space.. so I could install and update large apps. When I was getting the insufficient space error I had..
800+ megs internal space
3.51 gigs on internal sd card
1.75 gigs on external sd
I tried remounting installing app and remounting, clearing play store cache, uninstalling market updates, and wiping davlik cache with no results.
So basically free up a buttload of internal space to get rid of the "insufficient space" error code from Google Play.
Hope this helps somebody from pulling their hair out like I did... wait, I dont have any hair
Thank you for all of your help to posted. I was able to download and update the apps previously mentioned only by unmounting, removing, and rebooting my phone. However, now I'm still having the same problem. I have even tried the SD maid app, freeing up internal memory space to nearly 2GB, and even redownloading and re-applying the rom, with no success. In addition, I now randomly get a "package file is invalid" message.
Since the only resolution that worked involved removing the SD card, I'm assuming the SD card is the culprit. However, I can't do that every time I need to update an app. I'm also assuming that backing up, reformatting, and reloading everything onto the card would leave me with the same issues. Does anyone know what the actual root cause is and how to permanently fix it?
Thank you in advance.
@ op next time just uninstall titanium backup if you have it installed, then reinstall it and should fix your problem.

i had this issue a few weeks ago. In my situation, juice defender was somehow conflicting with my rom and giving me that error. I uninstalled juice defender and everything was fine
Hi ,
This morning I had the same issue with my phone.
I tryed all sort of things and nothing worked.
What did work at the end was to boot in recovery menu and clear the cache and the dalvik cache as well.
Boot back on (slow to start as it has to rebuild the caches) then all worked again, can now install apps.
Most easy fix, if you are rooted and you have a root explorer installed. Just delete the .odex file of that package in your /Data/App folder
or if you are rooted but dont have root explorer,
Open Terminal
Code:
su
cd /data
cd /app
ls
rm (package exact name).odex
It happens that u have previously installed package, u unisntall it but its previous odex stays there. If you do a fresh install again, and odex is corrupted one, you end up in insufficient storage.

This happens on almost all android phones why don't Google just let you choose the option of downloading to your SD card though?
The way I understand it is, only custom roms are privileged to be odexed, and thats why we land into problems.
So I've had this problem on both the ICS roms I've run (calkulin's rom and aokp).
Some of the apps that I try to install from the Play Store give me the error "Couldn't Install on USB storage or SD card."
I never ran into this problem with GB roms, although I'm not positive that the ICS roms are the cause.
Anyways , installing the app storage analyzer, which is 1.49mb, gives me this error despite having 1.58gb available on internal storage, another 6.68gb available on the internal sd card, as well as another ~10gb on the external.
Is this an error I can fix or do I actually need to free up more space than 1.58gb?
If I do need to free up space, do I have to delete apps and data or can I move stuff to the SD card? edit: i don't think this is the problem since I clearly have enough space, and just freed up a bunch more space and I'm still getting the same error.
Thanks!
Try unmounting external SD, installing your apps, then remounting the Sd.

This is happening on GB roms too. Im on Blend EL29 and have the same issue.
I had this problem on ICS + rogue recovery. I temporarily reverted to stock recovery, installed the apps, reinstalled rogue.
It's very annoying. I don't really want to mess with recoveries. Oh well

I recommend this method. Try flashing any other kernel and install the app. After the app is installed, you can go back to your previous kernel. This is also happened to me and this method solved the space error.

Hello,
I am a noob and I hate myself.
I recently purchased a second hand HTC Desire with Lee Droid on it. Everything was working fine.Then the phone asked my if I wanted to update? I tried to update but it would not work. Then after a while it stopped asking me to update. Then a little while later it was on a start up loop. I took out the SD card and it work but I had no apps, etc.
Now I have a serious problem with internal storage. I did a factory reset (still has the Lee Droid ROM on it) and it shows I have 92mb of internal storage...instead of up to 1GB!
So....I decided to try a few things. After doing a bit of quick reading I decided to go with the original HTC Sense software. In trying to do this I get a 140 bootloader error...so I must be using the wrong ROM?
Getting slightly more frustrated now...
I figured out I had to partition the original SD card again to get it working and that had worked but now I only have 112mb of internal storage using that Sd Card (I had purchased another one when this stopped working). So the internal storage issue still applies. And the main thing with this for me is that apps such as facebook and more will not transfer to the SD card whereas I thought I could do this before? So even to have Facebook on it and upgrade the apps with the phone gives me a 'low memeory' notification.
SO I guess my question is..
Should I just go back to HTC Sense and what ROM do I use?
or
Should I try out a different ROM?
Bear in mind I did not flash the phone originally, and while not a complete computer noob I would be quiet nervous about doing this with out some experienced help.
Everything you need to know is here

As a rough guide:
When you format your card you need an ext partition of say 1gb for app storage space (a2sd). The rest of the card should be fat32. This is to solve your low memory issues.
Download the custom rom of your choice to the fat32 partition of the sd card and boot the phone into recovery (volume down and power button then choose recovery). You probably have clockwork mod recovery or similar. Choose the option install zip from SD card.
Before you do this, in recovery you should wipe the dalvik cache and perform a wipe/factory reset.
Depending on the rom you use you will probably need to download and flash and a2sd script such as darktremour. This will make downloaded apps save to the ext partition automatically rather than to the phone memory.
It is worth doing as much reading up as poss before embarking on this and make sure you have enough charge in your phone when flashing or you might end up with a brick!
As for the choice of rom you need to decide if you want a rom with HTC sense included or an AOSP rom.

Ok thanks. Do you know any way I can find out which HTC Sense ROM is for my phone?
No matter what I do the internal memory is always lower than 120mb. It should be 512mb max right? I just did a factory reset again and it's at 77mb without any apps installed ot gmail or facebook profiles added! It these any way to fix this first off before I read more into flashing the phone with a different ROM?

Unless u use a2sd,ad2sd,int2sd or some script to move something to your sd partition,
you aren't going to have any more memory.
I think I should really go back to Sense before I do anything else or drive myself mad!
I tried another Sense ROM and it says I need to have my battery over 30pc but it's nearly fully charged!!!

But I had more internal memory before. How do I install these?
And how can I find out what Sense ROM is for my phone?
I have downloaded the app 2 sd and done the sdk thing...
but it still does not solve my internal memory issue and why was it so big before on a rooted phone? The phone is still rooted. So it should be the same? Do I need to get my SD card to count as internal storage somehow. Any links?

The guides for installing the customs roms u download r probably in the rom thread where the rom came from.
If it says ur battery is < 30% then u r using a RUU and u will need the correct one for ur phone.
Or use the 2.3 Ruu upgrade for Desire from HTC/Dev.
I think this is your best solution - CM7 which is a great rom without HTC sense.
If you have not created your ext partition yet do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932824
Then flash this rom:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=bravo&type=stable
Installation instructions for the rom are here:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/forum-36/announcement-23-cyanogenmod-72-released-2012-jun-16/
Then install S2E from the play store. This includes an a2sd script and has tick boxes to chose what to send to your SD ext partition.
Then you are done

OK...a friend did the following:
Updated my android because I was still on 2.2
Updated the root to Andreev
Installed Ice Cream Sandwich...the current BETA I think...which works fine but lately the phone freezes sometimes
First I thought you were on about memory to SD swap apps on the market so I did a bit of reading. I installed S2E but cannot or do not know how to get it working. It asked me to install something else which kept giving me a 'cannot respond' message.
I tried to install A2SDGUI as per some guide but it says that either my phone is not rooted, I do not have an EXT partition or A2sd scripts are not installed.
I tried to install EXTions on both my SD cards both manually using partition software and using ROM Manager. They both show up as having a regular FAT32 partition, and EXT one and a Linux one. They still do not work.
I have tried using various different partition softwares and my head is in a spin form them and different guides. I cannot get Gparted to work, how do I get the Image from the download or install it on my PC?
I also think I have moved my Dalvik Cache to my original SD card and not the phone tells me I have 141mb free internal memory but I get 'insufficient space' messages when trying to download apps or update them. Since I did this, even when putting on my manual SD backup from my new SD card back onto it I get messages saying 'app does not exist, even on the Play Market one. Play Market works fine on the original SD card which I think I have moved the Dalvik cache to.
There is also no nandroid backup on the new SD card as I get an error message...
Please please please someone help me. All I want to do now is get more internal memory and have everything working with my new 4GB SD card in the phone. Thanks to everyone who posted links to guides but I am still getting to terms with some of the terminology and may need guides to do some of the things that are listed in the guides. As it is now I cannot download any new apps. When the phone was rooted to Ice Cream Sandwich I could only download about 3 apps and cannot update youtube, maps, google, mail, etc.

Most of the scripts will show your internal storage as normal, then report a a2sd partion.
The only two that report your internal AND est partion as one block are data2sd, and the ammurlez script. Both of these are flashable with Lee Droid, but afterwards. If you did a factory reset this would restore your Lee Droid ROM but wipe your data2sd or ammurlez script. This is why before updating anything, or flashing a new zip CWM backups are your friend.
Just "factory reset" it again, this DOES NOT" change your hboot or SD partions, then flash the ammurlez or data2sd scripts. Your phone will be as before reporting 1gb internal memory.
Or......play with all the awesome ROM and script possibilities on this forum till you find a setup you love......speed versus storage, sense versus aosop versus mui etc.
Most peoples signatures list their setup, try em all!

The gparped image needs to be burned to cd rom. Just google how to do it. Then boot your pc with the cd in the drive and gparted will load up.
If you follow the guide I left earlier methodically step by step using the actual rom suggested it should work. Please note S2E only works on CM7 or CM9 roms only.
If try CM7 and don't like it you can flash something else after but at least you will have everything working and also gain an understanding of the steps you need to go through to do it.
