[Q] problem with instalation apps - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hi i have got a problem with instalation apps on Galaxy S4.
I'm trying to install one application, but my phone report me that I have not space to internal storage. But i have got 4,2gb free space and the app has only 10mb...
On my SGS4 i have Omega rom and root.. I tried restart and wipe davik cache and cache but it still reports the same thing.
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
Thanks for the answer.
PS: Sorry for bad english...

What app you trying to install?

Maybe this is "eating up" all upir precious storage space
If you have made any clockworkmod backups, they might be stored n the folder :
Data/Media/Clockworkmod
You can try using root explorer to move those files to the EXT SDcard, and you can also try this:
Dial "*#9900# and select option 2 "Delete dumpstate/logicat" in the prompted menu to regain some of the storage that has been used up by the system.
Aloha and Good Luck!
BTW: if you don't have an EXT SDCard, copy your backup files to a computer before you clear all the logcat stuff. You might have to someday restore your backups and that would be a safety net for you.

error insufficient storage available

hello, i have a problem with samsung galaxy note 2:
I got root permission (by Chainfire) and I did the reset of the counter with triangle away ( I have also checked in download mode and it says that it's fine).
Anyway every time I try to install any application from google play it says error insufficient storage available and that's false! I have 10gb of free space on internal sd.
I tried to install many apps (especially busybox, the one I was trying to install when the error appeared first) but I couldn't install anything from google play.
The only 2 apps I could install were a root file manager and link2sd , but to do that i had to place the .apk file on the esternal microsd with my computer, browse for that and launch the installation.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Go in you applications setting chose play store and delete cache

reboot
and again once restarted go to CWM and do the same one more time
enter CWM
format cache
advanced format cache
clear dalvik cache

I tried this method but it does not help
Had the same issue yesterday - over night the system took over 4gb extra space . Factory reset solved the issue.
I used to get this on my Desire HD, even with loads of space left available. Clearing Play Store cache would fix it for a few weeks and then it would happen again. I've yet to encounter the problem on my GN2 though.
I'm having the same problem on my Galaxy Note 2 n7100 and it's really annoying me now. I've tried EVERY solution possible but nothing works...
Delete Play Store cache
Un install Play Store updates
Search for and delete Odex files
Run Lucky Patcher
Run MarketFix
Boot into CWM recovery, delete cache, delvik, fix permissions
I've even done 2 complete factory resets, downloaded the apps again and then used Titanium Backup just to restore the app data... Nothing works. Once the apps are reinstalled it won't let me download and new apps or update apps (well, SOME apps will update, others won't).
I've got 8gb of internal memory, over 30gb of SD card memory and over 800mb of memory on the internal partition.
Can anyone offer me a solution that will fix this issue??
install root explorer,go to the carpet data,app and search the app wich you have problem to install and erase it,and with that yo should be able to install it, it works for me
this is an example with the app that was causing me problems com.maxmpz.audioplayer-1.odex all id this was delete it

I had this issue too and i just couldnt fix it. Finally i just decided to do factory reset and after that install the Ext2SD hack and so far it seems to be ok wth fingers crossed.

Hi
What are the luckypatcher and the Ext2SD hack?
Thanks for your answers.
This issue is cause by people using app2sd apps. Sammy phones can't use app2sd as the system sees extsd as the path which is not accepted by the system.
If you have app2sd installed remove it and reboot.
If you using Rom Toolbox change the app2sd feature to automatic.
I had this issue a few months ago and this solution worked for me.
via XDA Premium HD - GT-N7100 - Omega Rom - Neak Kernel - TWRP Recovery
Solution to your problem!
Found the solution to this!!
For everyone that is getting this error you probably have Link2SD installed, simply go in the settings of the app and go to where it says "install location" then simply change it from external to automatic!
Let me know if it works for you guys!

I hvnt instald link2sd or rom tool box so wat shud I do?

Full wipe and still no space..

So I've been using paranoid android for a while and I've been wanting to go to Slim Bean rom for a while. So i flashed everything correctly blah blah performed full wipe etc. Directly after the full wipe and flashing it says i have 866 MB available.. How is that possible? I just performed a full wipe, every piece of data is gone.. No apps, music, pics, or cached data and have not even a single GB of data available?
Before switching ROMS i deleted all of my themeing data - custom lockscreen and wallpaper data and widgets. They take up a ton of space. But none of that is on my phone anymore.. Why the hell am I only being granted that tiny amount of space?
Just so we're on the same page, where does it say 866mb and what all was wiped in by our full wipe?
It says 866 MB on the storage setting in settings menu and on the internal storage menu on my computer - when i plug the phone in
I would check your nandroid backups as well as your ''0'', see if there are copies of it.
You wiped your internal SD card from recovery? Or did you just wipe data?

In order to completely wipe the device, you need to wipe the sd card from recovery, or with a file manager.
Try this:
1. Download your favorite root file manager (My favorite is Root Browser Lite)
2. Check to see if your /sdcard folder is empty alternatively you can go to /data/media/0 to check this
3. If it is try navigating to /data/media/legacy/ this will be all of your stored files from before flashing to 4.2
Before deleting make sure you aren't deleting your clockwork folder or TWRP folder because that is likely where any nandroid backups would be located
If I have helped slap that thanks button please.

Ok, so I deleted a few things from my 0 file because it had duplicates of existing files in it. I gained about 1 gb of extra space from that, thanks.
But now when I go redownload an app that I once had ( i.e widget locker ) it says unknown error code during application install : -24
I was searching and I think i may have deleted the widget locker that was located in my "0" folder. Is there a way around this? Can i make a new folder titled Widget Locker or something?

Where did my files go after flashing?

Hey all,
Was bored and needed to update my phone with a new rom so I did some scouting about and found Beanstalk. Now this rom is awesome but previously I was on CleanRom which is also an awesome rom.
When changing from Clean to Bean I used TWRP and wiped Cache, Dalvik and Factory reset. I never wiped system (I know I should have).
Now after doing so, I lost all data files (images, videos, music, etc). I would like to retrieve those. Upon looking through the root directory, I could not find them.
So, any ideas? I'm stumped but I am not giving up. Storage details says I have 10gb, available 2.5gb+. Now where did the 7gb+ go? Also my 6gb for my system as it is a 16gb N7105.
If more info is needed just ask. List all you need to know. I am gunna do some other things that does not involve wiping the device.
If you open up explorer and check the internal sd. You should be able to see a file labelled "0" check in that folder.

A factory reset will wipe all data on internal memory.

Factory reset doesn't wipes internal memory.
Maybe twrp setting was set to /media(not sure which folder it is) directory for internal memory so it wiped the internal memory too
〽 ???✌ ?? ????Ⓜ?
There's plenty of apps on playstore that can do a full search for internal memory and show the largest files. I think a good one would be Memory Maid.

Hello all
Thanks for the feedback.
So what I have done is flashed a new kernel and recovery which is called Devil. I got this for the dual boot feature and within flashing a rom as I noticed a folder called legacy. This folder contains my previous content. All music folders etc.
So I rebooted went onto a few root explorers and could not find it!
I've enabled root and show hidden files and folders. Went to the root of the phone and checked each folder and all folders within and still cant find it.
Recovery shows: /sdcard/0/legacy - Old
Root explorer: /sdcard - New
Root also has another folder storage, with 4 folders; emulated, sdcard0, sdcard1, usbdisk0.
Emulated has 2 folders; 0 and legacy. Both display the new files.
Sdcard0 shows new files.
Sdcard1 shows microSD(Need more disk space for roms)
Usbdisk0 has no files.
This is a mind game. I think the rom created a new system within the old system files and it can't access out but the recovery can.
I have tried mounting the phone to the Pc via recovery but it won't pick up.

Hello all,
Thanks again for the support!
I resolved the issue. The issue was, AOKP based roms create a new file system for the System. It created it within /sdcard/0/legacy.
When I flashed a Sammy based rom and checked the file manager I was able to see all.
So for all who are coming from Sammy to AOKP, please be careful and back up all SDCard contents, regardless if advised it will not affect Internal storage. This is the first time this has happened since G1 days.

I think so becuase I've recently installed the CM on my device, did a factory reset with the CWM recovery but both the internal and external memory (SD) wheren't touched at all, all the files and folders remains where they was.
So it's normal, right?
Yes mate.. when doing the 3 wipes it doesn't touch internal storage. Its only when you wipe either internal storage or /sdcard.
I had to format my sdcard and wipe all data after I transfered it to the PC. This fixed the file system issue but changing from aokp to sammy will do it again and again. Bit annoying. But hey, its always good doing a clean up.
All i had on my phone were a load of pics and vids by camera and 3 albums. All of this would take no more than 2gb.
Camera was 600mb. So where did 5gb go to? So there is a lot of crap from rom changing, ALOT.

blank file??

i installed a game called contract killer 2 and when i uninstalled it, i noticed that it didn't delete the game data but when i try to delete the folder for the data, it says it deleted but i still see it and i went into that folder and i see three files that are blank, no file names at all...one of them says that it's taking up 2gb but i try to delete it and it's still there. i even tried with adb as root with no luck, does anybody know what's going on? i included a screenshot so you can see what i'm talking about. it makes no sense, LOL if anybody knows how to fix this, that would be awesome! thanks in advance for the help!
Copy your files you want (such as backups/nandroids, photos and music) on the internal storage to your computer, boot into recovery and wipe internal SD card.
In cwm: its under mounts and storage
In twrp: select wipe, then advanced wipe and wiping the internal SD card should be an option
Once you reboot copy all of your files back to the device...then reboot the device once again and everything should be back to normal...minus the unwanted file/files

NOOB Q About Memory

Hi All,
Hopefully this should be a very quick question. I'm loading CM onto my phone, and this is the first ROM I've ever used. I've loaded CWM, made a backup, and I'm about ready to go and load CW on. I've noticed though that out of the 5 or so gig the phone comes with for internal memory, about 4gb is used up. Is this just the system and the back up and apps?? It seems quite a lot. Will CM fill this up further? Will I encounter any issues?
I hope thats all clear, but excuse me for being a beginner.
EDIT: This is now even more relevant now CM is flashed. I've just looked in the file viewer, and there's still all the folders etc from the old samsung, and amazonmp3 etc etc. I thought the "wipe data/factory reset" in CWM would have cleared all this.....
Many thanks for looking.

Factory reset only wipes the data partition. For the first time installing a custom ROM, and especially going from stock to cm for the first time, you should wipe the system partition which can be done from cwm.

Hi again.
So I finally got round to trying to get this sorted.... and I'm failing. I've booted into CWM, rerun the "wipe/data factory reset", rerun the "wipe cache" then went into "mounts and storage" and did a format of the system partition, but it still hasn't cleared any of the data.
Am I doing something incorrectly? I didn't want to play around with it too much, in case i bork it all. Any help would be massively appreciated.
Also, I'm a bit concerned about what formatting the system partition will do. Does it just clear the rom already on there, and I can then flash Cyanogenmod back on from my sd card?
Thanks

Formatting system partition wipes the currently installed rom / system apps.
How do you know that it is not wiping the data? If you do a system format and your rom still boots then it isn't working properly.
It could be a problem with the version of recovery (cwm / twrp) that you're using. It can't hurt to update it, which could be the case here.
Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for coming back so quickly!
So if you see the attached, this is what I'm looking at. The phone has 5.5gb internal memory, of which, looking at the below, I'm using about 1.5gb, BUT I only have 1gb left to use, and I get warnings about lack of memory.... So there's 3gb being used for.... I don't know.
When I first put cyanogen on, I noticed that the file structure from stock was still there (i.e. all the folder my old apps made). I expected when I put CM on that it would wipe everything, including all of those folders.
You can try an app called es file explorer, it has a feature that fully scans the contents of the internal SD card.
It should show a list of all the folders from the old stock data folders. You can multi select and delete what you want.
Another option which is more efficient, is to make a full backup of all the internal data in your PC. Then fully format the internal SD card via cwm and transfer which contents you need back from the PC such as photos and music. Asides from photos, music and other media items, most of those internal SD contents aren't needed as Android uses these folders for app data etc.
Always make back ups.
Your welcome.

Yeah, I have got ES File explorer. I couldn't find a "scan" but I've gone through all the folder on my device and I can see the following:
/storage - 3.83gb
/mnt - 2.11gb
/sdcard - 893mb
A lot of this seems to be duplicated though.... The stuff on mnt seems to be a shortcut to whats in sdcard, and all that in storage seems to be in the other two. I don't technically think it's all duplicated, but different ways to get to the same stuff, which makes me very nervous about deleting any of it....
Just got a liitle program to give a break down. See attached.
Surely my system data shouldn't be that big?
I recommend you make a full back up in your PC and format the SD card and transfer the contents of your current SD folder back. I've done it before on different devices, I do it on first root / cm install coming from stock because of all the old obsolete data. Apps like clean master won't removing it because it's marked as important for stock users. It shouldn't be a problem.
Note:
Having different links to the data partition is normal. It's purpose is compatibility.

It's possible that's reserved for the system. Mine is similar. You can still use it if you convert user apps into system ones.

It's something to do with backups. I'm gonna read through that thread and see if I can find out what I can/can't delete without bricking the phone.
Massively appreciate your time and repsonses on this iKlutz. Just out of interest, did you do a backup when you installed a rom? Have you found that the backup is this big??
Use ES file explorer or other file manager with root explorer capabilities.
Go to /data/media
You should see:
0
clockworkmod
legacy
obb
In clockworkmod folder I've found a backup (2.0GB) that was made by mistake to internal sotrage, since I allways do backup in CWM Recovery to external SD.
Deleted and 2.0GB were gained.

Hmmm. Data/Media is empty.... I might delete the back up from CWM. If the worst happens, I can always flash from the external SD card can't i? Do I "need" that back up of the device when it was stock?

Do not delete.
Copy the folder(s) that you have in the "backup" to the external SD card to the "backup" folder in the "clockworkmod" folder.
Then, you can delete the backup folder located in "data/media/clockworkmod/".
I allways save the backup of the stock ROM's.
To restore in CWM recovery, simply choose "restore from external SD card". And to backup, choose "backup to external SD card", or it will backup to the internal memory.

No.... I don't really know what to do with it.
I've got an s3 mini with Cyanogen and CWM and the system data portion is only 54mb.
I might go into CWM and start deleting things. If I delete the backup I made of my stock phone when I first rooted and added CWM, I can't see too many issues.... I can always flash a stock ROM again can't I?

Yes, using Odin you can flash stock ROM again.
Next time do the backups in CWM to the external SD card!
