[Q] Problem of intern memory

Hello all,
first I'm sorry for my poor english. I will do my best.
I have my Xperia Play since 1 month and I have change the SD card from 8 to 32 Go. I have many place to stock all the things and the RAM free is great. But the intern memory is less than 24 Mo when it's started.
I have install and use App to SD to do the best but there is the same problem.
How to please to have more free intern memory ? (it's a problem when I must download a think from android market and install an update for example).
Thanx.

Heads up, internal memory and RAM are the same thing in android. So I'm not really sure what you're asking since you say RAM is fine but internal memory isn't....

How can Ram and internal memory be the same thing? I have 270mb free memory but often low on ram when open too many apps
Anyways OP, you can look up on the Dalvik hack, not sure whether you need rooted phone or not..

He's talking about internal storage, not internal "memory".

Try rooting the phone and getting rid of bloatware. Also, some roms take up less space than others. I found there is more internal storage after the updates.

Because Ram and memory is the same thing! Storage or disk space has nothing to do with memory.

Guys you're arguing semantics here. The guy stated English wasn't his first language and he's quite clearly talking about internal storage, especially when he mentioned his SD card. Quit arguing about the difference between memory and storage.

Not mine either, that's why I understood exactly what he said

TS, try to use link2sd, but before you use that you need to root your device and create a partition of your sd card..

Titanium is an Android user's best friend. Especially the pro version. Freezing bloatware makes a HUGE difference in both general performance and battery life.

Thanx a lot but Titanium is not easy to configure : I must be "rooted" but I don't know how. Installing BusyBox and SuperUser don't change that.

[Q] Adfree, Adaway wont work after flash

Hello,
I've flashed to a new rom and installed adfree(like i previously had) and updated list and it no longer works. it used to work on my stock root. so i figured i would try adaway and same issues...
i tried rebooting phone, clearing dalvik cache etc just to see if it would help. same problem.
could there be a conflict somewhere? am i doing something wrong?
i tried installing busybox but i already had it.
any help would be fantastic!

It updates and says should be ad free. But it does nothing
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I find on adfree I need to have "Use /data/data/hosts symlink" and "create symlink if needed" checked to get it to work.

Tried it. No change. Don't understand this.

Select "Use /data/data/hosts symlink" and "create symlink if needed" , force update the hosts file, reboot.
That's all I needed to do to make it work on stock rooted EI22. It's possible the rom you are on has the hosts file somewhere odd?

It's possible that the image of the ad was cached somewhere on your SD card. Try the same app in airplane mode to see if it's pulling it from the net (in which case Adaway should block it) or if it's loading it locally.
Scour your card for ad images.
Try another app w/ ads.

Tried everything. I'm using acs ics 5. But I've tried other roms.
Just doesn't make sense. Could my jailbreak be bad?

Out of space - not able to install the apps - resolved!

Today, I flashed rom to fd05 (including modem, kernel) and was reinstalling the Titanium backup. But the installation was not successful because of the 'out of space' error message - "Titanium Backup could not be installed. Free up some space and try again".
I've checked the USB storage space and it still had 9.81GB space available. But the problem was it's including the SDCARD's occupied space upon total used usb storage space. For the SDCARD (external),it's being used about 12.65 GB out of 32GB. When you see the second screenshot, the miscellaneous files size is including the used SDCARD size. But after I unmounted the SDCARD, the size is decreased to 1.29GB.
So, I unmounted SDCARD and tried to install the app again but still got the same error (strange....)
Because of this error, I moved back to Calk's tweaked FD02 rom and it showed the same usage but I was able to install the app.
I'm not sure this would be the stock rom issue on FD05 (or any other previous stock roms) or it's something else.
At least I'm able to install the app on Calk's rom but not in the stock rom.
Does anyone know what makes this kind of difference? If there is any kind of tweak applied to Calk's rom, could someone please share the information with us, so we apply the same thing on FD05 or future roms?
[Update]
I just re-flashed Calk's rom with FD05 Stocked rooted rom again.
At this time, I just reinstalled Titanium backup without uninstalling TB. At this time it worked like a charm. No issues at all.
Last time, I tried to clean install TB on the Go Launcher EX but at this time, just updated TB on default TW launcher.
Quite strange. If anyone has the same issue, first try to update the TB on TW launcher..... Hope this help!

I wonder if this will help..

Linked thread is related to the behavior of USB storage when it's connected to USB cable. So, it's not related to the issue I'm talking about.
Thanks anyway!

to resolve this issue use something like root explorer, nav to data/app and delete titanium.odex file. it might be names a little different but ull find it

As long as I know odex is only for the odexed rom and for system apps. TB only comes with apk. Anyway, thanks for the info.

Usually if an app cannot install (especially a non-game app) due to space issues, the problem is space in /cache or /data/dalvik-cache (ie /data)
The USB storage usually isn't the "space" issue because it is relatively large, but can be an issue if it got remapped to an unexpected location.

Thanks sfhub for your response.
Because of the space issue, as long as I remember, I cleaned cache & dalvik cache from the boot recovery. But the result was same....
I believe there's some difference between Calk's tweaked FD02 and Stocked rooted FD05.
He said that "Moved dalvik-cache to cache partition(if it runs low on space, it will move back to Data partition)" on his FD02 thread.
Not sure, this tweak could cause a problem....

I couldn't find the file anywhere, so I ended up just clearing cache/dalvikcache in cwm, and everything seems to be working fine now.

thanks alot!!!! nobody was ever able to resolve this issue, they even closed a thread because it was happening with LP. so instead of telling me a technical reason and solution they emphasized on the app being not appropriate. thanks alot!

Had a problem with another app which had administrator permissions. After I uninstalled it, couldn't re-install again - .
Searched all over for solutions but kept coming to these similar threads about "going to data/app". Went there but it the app in question just wasn't there - therefore nothing to delete.
The more fool-proof, automated way to solve the problem (irregardless of app causing the problem) is to download Lucky Patcher. Under Toolbox>Remove fixes and backups (insufficient storage available) ==> it will automatically remove unused odex files. Works perfectly thereafter.

ROM? If you flashed GAPPS, version? Are you able to download just random .apk's from the net and not Play Store? Have you tried using another app store like Amazon or Samsung?

Gonna try another store see how that works thxs

Not sure if you have solved this yet but I was also having a similiar problem when I first got my Note 2 some months ago. If this doesn't help or you have solved your issue disregard it, hopefully it may be helpful to others in the future looking up answers to this problem.
It seems some apps can be installed incorrectly / get corrupted and this error will always come about no matter how much free space you have. It sees the old data persisting in your device and tells you you have insufficient space.
You can solve the issue if this is the case by deleting any stray .odex files in /data/app <- (this is in the root of your phone) You will need root access and a app such as solid explorer or root explorer (I would recommend solid explorer). You can find the suspect files by looking for any files in here that end in .odex and have no icon (just a generic file icon). The rest of the good files will end in .apk and have their respective icons.

simplest fix without using the root that you gained would be just disable the stock samsung camera then download one from the play store....but if you wanna use the root you just gained i would say download this then extract the samsung camera from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741413 then with the root browser just delete the samsung app that you have installed and put the one you extracted in its place then fix the permissions then reboot and it should work now

i extracted it for you just use root browser to install it as a system app follow this video (same basic thing just use root browser that i provided and this apk) just instead of hitting install after you move the apk and fix the permissions reboot the phone and it will go in the system/app folder

Its okay but I have a question thats off topic but Obvisly u know how to do alot of thing I have my backup bro and its screwing up cause kit kat wont let me do the ext. Sd card I read about this fix 2. Use a root-enabled file manager and navigate to /system/etc/permissions
3. Edit platform.xml and find “WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE“
4. Add an additional group definition for this permission: <group gid=”media_rw” />
5. Save the changes and restart your device
6. You are now able to write on your external SD card again
How to add an additional group defintion like there saying jc thanks

Even if you sent the apps to your external SD they would still be wiped if you do a full wipe in order to flash a new rom....but what you can do is copy the apps data to your external SD with a root browser. Basically make a copy of the "Android<Data" sub folder from your Internal SD then change the name of the Android Folder then paste it to your external SD and the apps data it self will be safe even if you wipe to flash a new rom...
