Hey all. Flashed ViperX4.0.1 Rom with CWM.
After installing with aroma and getting back my missing apps from Titanium backup I noticed I wasnt able to install any other apps from the market duo to a "Insufficient storage space". When cheking space specs out I see I have 6.5/6.6 GB used on m internal storage.
Apps are not the issue here. the "other" tab hold 6.8 GB.
Any Idea how to fix this? What should I delete/restore?
Thanks!

I'm trying to install an app (around 5mb) but I get the 'out of space' error. However, the SD/Phone card storage says the my phone has 97mb free.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is there any way to fix this?
I tried installing a different app, same problem.
the SD/Phone Card storage is different to where apps are stored, which is on the internal memory. If your running Froyo or even better a custom rom with A2SD+ then you can move some of the apps to your SD card instead and free up some of that internal memory.
Yeah, I'm on a custom rom pinky
I know I could install to SD, but was just wondering why, with 90mb free, it wasn't letting me install to the phone.
thanks for the help
i have had the out of memory error, found that rebooting frees up some memory
i use a widget called mini info, atm i have 29MB free, reboot the phone and i now have 35MB free i have found that if i reboot after installing programs browsing web and market place i don't see the out of memory error.
Though it could be that you just have to many apps installed *
Hello everyone.
I'm currently using CM 6 on my Desire.
On the phone I have LauncherPro and Weather & Toggle installed and nothing else (beside google apps). All my apps are on the SD card.
Problem: I have 15mb of internal memory!!!
Removing some of the pre-installed apps won't increase the space left. Whenever I install a new app on the SD card, it also uses some of the phone memory!
What should I do? Help would be appreciated

You could consider going s-off and flashing a custom partition table to gain more space for apps?

Or you could go with starburst ROM and use date2sd I have 2gb internal space on my phone and the rom is super fast and stable
Hi.
I just updated with Balliboxers XperiaZ flavored ROM 4.2.2 based and i am facing a strange problem with the internal storage space. In setting when i opened storage settings there it says 3.96 minimum system space required and in user avaialble 4GB storage there is Miscillenous files 2.2 GB. I am not able to see what has took 2.2 gb due to this only 1.6 GB is avaialble for me and i am not able to install any game due to low disk space. please guide me as this is the first time i rooted my grand duos.
Mods.. any solution for this.. what are the things i need to delete.
and this ROM doesnt have Google Apps like gmail, hangouts maps etc.. is there any thing i missed apart of installing xperiaz flavoured rom

Its a CWM recovery backup file stored in internal SD card. and the strange thing is it is not even displayed by root explorer or es explorer.
any how i deleted through CWM recovery

Some apps look for percentage available instead of MB available or some nonsense.
Could also be that it needs to install some secured data, and that's going into a place you don't have enough space.
Also, if you had an app installed on external memory at some point, and you try to reinstall it, you'll get that error. Check your Application Manager for any apps that have the memory card icon on them. Those can cause problems.
Personally, I use Link2SD Plus, which requires an SD card. This allows you to move whole applications to a second partition of the SD card. Works well with the tab 3, and leaves me with lots of free space.
I'm assuming when you say ROM space free, you mean System partition space free? I only have about 9MB free on mine and it causes no problems.
Have had this issue on my phone before because the ROM itself locked the device as read-only, causing any app to give that error, and had to flash it again.
I had a bunch of unknown junk cluttering my user/data partition (they're the same physical area on the device), and had to wipe the "internal storage" and "data" from a custom recovery after backing up my data I cared about.
Hopefully this is informative, and hopefully someone else can be more helpful
Good luck to you

i dont know what it says but i think it means read-only memory, and my tablet has no recovery mode it only shows "downloading mode"
I don't know if this is a permanent solution but I noticed that I had no "OBB" file in "Android " on my "extsdcard". I created said file and moved all files from "OBB", "sdcard0" to new OBB file. I then started a program who's file I moved to new OBB and immediately closed. Then went back to original OBB to delete newly created file (double) for that app. Now all my apps download straight to extsdcard in the new OBB file. I can also move apps to SD card from app manager .
Let me know if it worked for you.

Same Issue
I am facing the same issue. I have also tried a workaround. I have rooted my phone and now move most of the apps (except system ones) to the SD card. Still every time an app is updated it moves to the phone by itself and I have to move them over again. This is very annoying in case there are multiple apps requiring update and I cant update them all at once since after one of them updates, there is no more space. Is there any fix on this issue or maybe another workaround?? Any help is really appreciated. Thanks
I think the only solution is rooting the phone and making a partition in your SD card for apps, then all apps will install in that location without going to internal storage.
