I was running out space for new app so rooted (stock 4.0.3) and got a sandisk 32gb ultra microsd card class 10. I did MicroSD 2 Internal Memory Swap put the scrip file at /etc/ updated the rw and it work. Now when installing a app from a file or goole play store I now get an out of space error free up some space and try again. Tried with the org scrip file and the swap scrip file both give the same error. There is 887mb free on the internal sdcard with the stock scrip file. Can some tell me how fix the install problem I am now having?

Hmm forgot to mention cache and dalvik when you reboot.
Do the app data and caches, reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik then see how it goes.

Did you go in and make sure all the privilege levels were checked off? I know there are 5 boxes that require manual checking. That will prevent stuff from downloading/installing.
Thank for the help I now have everything woking !!!

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.
Hey guys,
I'm using Android 2.3.5 with Sense 2.1 (stock rom) and added Link2SD to my rooted phone some time ago. At first I was glad I had about 50mb of internal storage left after I moved all (!!!) linked every app to my SD-card. I don't know how, but the internal storage shrinked more and more and now I'm left with 10mb of free storage and that annoying message, that I'm running out of memory. I tried some cache cleaning apps but I just don't know what's eating up all of my memory!
Any ideas?
greetings
Link2sd leaves stuff in internal memory. My little wfs became a wonderful phone after I s-offed and rooted it, but then installed some custom roms, and some of which had A2SD built in. I installed all my apps and still had 75mb of free memory.
I am currently running CM9, and I used a custom script to move my apps and cache to my SD card. I have 123 MB of memory now. It's terrible

After failing to get simple2ext to work, and having Link2SD eat my SD card mutliple times, I was just about ready to give up on CM9 when I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668247
Since then, my CM9 Alpha 7 install ahs been working very well. I could not be more pleased.
BTW: If you do run those scripts on an existing ROM (without Link2SD, Data2SD, or simple2ext, just do steps 1 and 2)

I don't know much about Link2SD, as i could never get it to work, but... I'm thinking if you move everything back to internal memory, and uninstall the startup scripts that mount the SD card, you should be able to run the scripts I used. I would make a full backup of my ROM before trying anything like that though. Ya never know...
You can try the following.
1. Go to link2sd. Clear cache, relink lib files and multi select anf link all.
2. Get titanium backup and integrate davlik cache into rom.
3. Enable auto link in link2sd.
4. Reboot.
Im using link2sd wid a lot of apps and have internal storage 60+ mb all the time.
Also uninstall any crap system apps you dont use because they'll just fill the internal memory.

Hi buddy...I had installed CM10 on my HTC wildfire & used Link2SD which was working good for the internal memory and applications part but had its own loops of data connection getting lost in between and wake up problem. This was irritating so i switched back to my Stock rom by CWM using Backup & restore. Now im glad to be back on my stock rom without all other problems but the problems of LOW INTERNAL MEMORY.
Is there really any way that i can properly install Link2Sd and make space free and have hell lot of apps just as i had when i was on CM10 ???
Please guide....i love having all my applications back...but on stock rom itself....please help.....

First flash eoghan's kernel on stock ROM which enables using of different scripts and link2SD..then partition SD card and flash the script or use link2SD as always..
And make sure you have a backup..
P S Instead of flashing the above you can also install crossfire's stock ROM or other stock based ROMs which have init.d support I.E you can partition SD card and install scripts and other stuff... Your options are Kimsmod ultimate, Wildchild or crossfire's stock ROM.

LINK2sd does not transfer app data to sd card....so when u use apps and they generate data and cache..it fills up your internal storage...i had the same problem.
i suggest you to use Int2ext script by cronmod...thy are fantastic!

You terrible WRONG!!! Link2SD do the job correctly, learn it! and Internal Storage remains unused-free! When link an app, in Storage Info looks Internal Storage raised but when you make Quick Reboot Internal Stoage seems like a nothing get in there! |So! I search for days to finaly suffix the best to free Internal Storage without any mod file|
I make Factory data reset and device come back with ~30mb Internal Storage, i partition sd card and install Link2SD, mount 2nd partition. Install any app, Create link Quick Reboot and go on!!

There is something better than Link2sd
Something better is called [INT2EXT] and it has requirements:
1.Init.d Supported in ROM
2.SD Card Partition
how to install:
1.Wipe everything and
2. Re-partition SD Card
3. Re-flash ROM
4. Install the zip using CWM
to download the scripts (INT2EXT) please head here
Do not forget to press Thanks
Yes I chose right format (ext3) on the first start and everything worked fine until now. I only have 8 apps in internal memory and linked 10 others to SD card, which is not many, but my internal memory still gets full. I tried wipe davik-cache and other option in the "More" menu but it could'nt free much space.
Back when I used a2sd on Cm7, I could install as many apps as I wanted but now the number is restricted. I heard that a2sd can cause severe lag on CM10 so I switch to link2sd but I have no idea what went wrong took so much storage like this. Can anyone help me?
BTW I'm using CM10 AOKP by erikas.

Link2SD does not move app data folder.
Check with Link2SD which app use most space and if it's with data folder or not.
U should link data,apk & dalvik files to sd.
I'm using for a long time with a lot of roms and never had such problem.
Notice that in some roms after a restart dalvik cache move again to internal.(like maclaw roms).

How can I check if it's with data folder or not? Below each app's description have some information like "Data: 500KB". I tried clear som app's data but it didnt free much data, only 4MB, and honestly I dont want to clear them
The weird thing is that my ext format is ext 3, but in Storage information there's 1 line telling that /data/sdext2. And when I tried recreating mount script, an error popped out saying that "mount: Device or resource busy. ext3 may not be supported on your device. Try FAT32 on the second partition". Other options failed too. Note that it worked in the first place. After that my ext is unmounted and a reboot mounts it back.
*I checked all options I can in Link2SD settings. I'm feeling jealous to pepple saying that they have lots of free space for apps
Just select all user app and press on "Create link"
Hey 1st time post so i was on CM 10 and i wanted to get CM 10.1 (cm-10.1-20130121-EXPERIMENTAL-maguro-M1) so what i did was wipe cache and dalvik cache and then installed the CM 10.1 and the gapps but when i started my phone i am only gettin 7.66 gb free space from a 16 gb nexus . So can someone please help me out and also i tried Formating after that but that did not help
Did you have music or movies on your sd card before you flashed cm10.1?
yea i did but i cannot find that when i connect my phone to the computer
Is there a 0 folder? If so that's where they'll be
no there is no such folder as that .There are just the normal folders that i get at the start after formating
Try installing DiskUsage from the Play Store, that'll tell you what's using your storage

storage card is 13648mib ,System Data is 5680 mib and Free space is 7625 mib
anyway thanks for the help .I fixed it by rooting it back to stock and it got fixed
Cm10.1 doesn't wipe your storage, it just moved everything that was on the card from the last rom into a different folder. That's why it appears as if it's using more space than it really is. Try installing es file explorer from the play store and grant it root privileges. Go to root, there will be a folder called Data, and within that folder there will be a folder called Media. Everything you had on the card prior to installing CM10.1 should be there. At least it was for me.
I am starting to get insufficient storage alerts on my M919 GS4. I have more than 4GB free on the main, and 50+GB free on the SD.
Is there a hidden partition that isn't listed that is getting filled up? Could Cache be filled, and preventing new apps from being downloaded, or some such nonsense?
Should I just do a dalvik wipe, or clear the play store?

Hmmm... You have 4GB remaining on Internal. I'm not sure, but below are some possibilities of what may be occurring:
But first wipe cache and dalvik cache as you suggested. If that doesn't resolve your issues:.
Can you post a screenshot shot from Settings:
Device
More
Storage
If the numbers add up, possible files taking up Internal SD/Device storage are:
ROM downloads
Nandroid backups
TiBu backups.
If the gb numbers don't add up in internal SD/Device storage:
Internal storage likely corrupt.
Move files from internal to extSdCard and/or pc
Boot into Recovery -
Data Format internal SD storage, Not extSdCard.
Reboot
Check internal/Device storage to make sure the numbers add up
Move any files back to internal that you moved before doing Data Format
Because you have 4GB internalSSD storage remaining, and even if the above 2 scenariosddon't pertain to you exactly, you may just want to Data Format Internal SD and see if that resolves your issues.
I mentioned a few scenarios in one post because I'll be off line for awhile .

using root explorer or any equivalent file explorer,
look in Data/Media/clockworkmod/backup
If you have used CWM to backup you phone it's probably going in there and when you make another backup, it's included in the next, and so forth compounding the size of each backup and eating all that space. you could move all the backups to the external SD card and have CWM create your backups on the External SD card instead, IF that is the problem.
I had that experience and could not for the life of me find what was EATING my memory space! just the backups and it's compounding took over 3/4 the entire space on the internal memory! Good Luck!

Should have replied earlier, and could have sworn that I did.
The problem was that I restored a backup of rom toolbox. That had app2sd turned on. Since the gs4tmo does support app2sd the redirection was seeing zero space on device.
Turning off app2sd in toolbox fixed my problem right up.
