I've been having this problem on my i747(16GB, 4.1x JB, rooted with CWM) for a few months now, but they just got worse as time went on. I've yanked every possible picture, video (what few I had ), and apps I could think of; I copied off/deleted old CWM and TB backups, and it STILL gives me the dreaded "not enough storage space" message. The last time I recovered about 2GB, but that lasted less than a month, and that's AFTER I set the camera to store on the extSDcard (8GB, has about 6.3GB left this go 'round), and moved the maybe 2gb of music I've had lately.
I'd show you the Storage screeshot: but I don't have enough memory to take a picture--it only has 392m available now!! :WTF: so I took a picture with my tablet:

I started that process about 40 minutes ago... And it STILL hasn't reported anything!!!
Also, I cannot uninstall anything, either thru the application manager or the play store. I've booted to recovery, wiped cache (no option in my CWM to wipe dalvik), wiped dalvik with CWM app after boot, and deleted every possible app, text, and picture I can find--oh, and the picture gallery won't open because I don't have enough memory. I've dug thru every possible directory with ES File Explorer, and deleted everything I can think of that was expendable... And still no luck. I can't gain squat. And I STILL can't get the phone to uninstall any apps at all. AT ALL.
And: this go'round took less than three weeks for the phone to clog itself like an overloaded toilet---i thought only Winblows had this kind of memory problems!!!
I'm working now on copying any data I can, and making an app list, before I try a factory reset. I've unmounted the extSDcard, and will remove it before I reset.
But I still need advice. I need to know what's going on, what's wrong, and how to fix it for freaking good, because given the logarithmic rate of decay I'm seeing, the next clog up will take about a week--and THAT will send me into a psychotic break and probably into the back door of the nearest att location with a silenced uzi! [/I'M JUST KIDDING HSA!!!]
Thanks in advance...
I had a problem similar to this, although not quite as extreme but it turned out to be the lost+found folder in the /system folder (i think, there is one there and on each sd card). Not sure about ES explorer but root explorer would show it as empty until i gave the folder full permisions, and even then couldn't modify it. I ended up using the file explorer in TWRP to delete the contents of the folder. With CWM you can load up aroma file manager from the recovery and delete the junk that way. If you've never used it before you 'flash' it like you would any other zip but it doesn't actually flash anything, just loads up into memory and gets dumped when you exit so it shouldn't be a problem with your low storage.

I tried to search first off.. kept saying try again in ten min.
I have a new EVO, rooted, all root apps work fine, amon1.8 recovery.

That's what I get when I try to perform a Nandroid backup.. any ideas, this is how I did it on my old hero phone..

I had that same problem. Only way I was able to fix it was to delete some of the excess files from my SD card. I had a bunch of old backups, so I deleted them and it worked fine after that...
I already deleted the Nandroid folder. I have 6 gig free on SD, even tried different SD card.

Save everything on your sd, and repartition it.
That happened to me when my battery is below 30%
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Full charge.... also on hboot2.02 A-off if that helps..
Also changed SDs and did all that
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
yeah its the under 30% battery thats causing that for SURE
just charge the phone and try again
You could always try running "nandroid-mobile.sh" via adb.
"Nand backup" works fine for me but "Nand + ext backup" (which is what you did) produces the same error that you show. I think the "+ ext" part is looking for an ext3 partition on your sdcard.
That makes sense, I'm used to my hero with 2.2 with apps2sd... I moved my installed apps to SD.. I'm assuming .android secured? Will that be backed up ?

*sigh* Did you try doing what it says to? Y'know... Run the script from adb shell? That usually tells you what's wrong...
i had the exact same issues as both of you. I had to repartition my sd card, then run nandroid.sh from adb then try it in recovery.
battery was always @ 100%

running from adb will usually produce an error in terminal as well
Tell it to move the recovery log to your sdcard and take a look at it, that should tell you whats wrong with it.
I thought if you had hboot 2.02 or 2.10 you need to use the new modded Aman RA-1.9. Flash the new recovery and see if you problems disappear.
Hello,
I have no idea why the app I installed from the app market named as app2SD Pro could not move the apps to the SDCard of Kindle Fire.
It can only goes to UnInstall page and info for each app.
Anyone handle it?
Or any app that could make Kindle Fire choose if the new app should be installed directly to SDCard instead of default RAM?
Because the apps2sd moves the apps to the external SD card. The Fire does not support SD cards.
You do not need to worry about app storage
There's a partition on the Kindle memory that's mounted as "sdcard", so wouldn't apps2sd move it to there? There doesn't seem to be a difference between an external sdcard and the Kindle parition "sdcard", except that the partition isn't removable.
Why would you bother moving anything? You have the same amount of storage whether you use the sdcard or not. It's not a real sdcard, just a partition of your internal storage. If you run out of room then sure, use it, but I can think of other things to stick on the sdcard partition (like media).
My Kindle Fire's internal storage is nearly full but my SD card partition is showing 5gb free. There must be a way to move apps. No problem running apps from the partition, there are apps that automatically installed to the SD card partition. Any ideas?
Give this a shot....
Look at the memory being used by both areas under Devices.
Using Titanium Backup, press and hold on one of the larger apps until a menu appears. On that menu will be an entry to move to SDcard. Use it.
Now go back to devices and see what changed...
Apps2SD doesn't do that because when you click on an app, it doesn't give you a move to sdcard option.

Thanks, but my Fire isn't rooted and Titanium Backup won't work...tried it.
You can use the following commands to move an app to the sdcard partition...
Code:
adb shell pm install -r -s /data/app/your.app.here-1.apk
or
adb shell pm install -r -s /data/app/your.app.here-2.apk
You would have to be rooted, so you should definitely consider rooting your device as it makes these tasks easier.
An alternative, root not required, is to pull the apk (use "adb shell pm list packages" to find the name of the app) and then run "adb install -r -s your.app.here-1.apk".
Plants vs zombies
hey mate,
I can see you have plants vs zombies installed, but i tried everything to get it to work and it wouldn't, it keeps exiting or telling me that my device is not supported.
I have a rooted KF with a modded stock rom which has google play + store installed.
Can you guide me on how to get it to work? I even tried the honey comb version and it keeps exiting at the loading screen.
Thank you, but this game means a LOT to my daughter who
cheers

CREDIT: First of all this is not my tutorial and all credit goes to Adam Parnala for creating this easy tutorial. I decided to bring it to us off the web for easier access. Please remember to use caution while trying to modify anything on your phone. It is your responsibility to follow the instructions to the letter else you may cause some problems. I have used this particular guide several times on other phones and this one as well. Root is required.
Link2SD can move not only the application file, but also the dalvic-cache and library files of the application. This means that data will be the only one left to consume your internal memory thus installing applications and games would be easier because you can install anything you want without worrying about the famous low memory problem. Furthermore, Link2sd covers all files even moving widgets and the unmovable applications to the 2nd partition of your SD card. Please be advised that your version may not look the same and mine but the information should not have changed. I strongly suggest that you download and install busybox too.
This is a step by step guide on how you can run Link2SD on your device. This tutorial will work for both stock and custom ROMs. Follow all the instructions carefully to eliminate possible problems.
1. First you have to download Mini Tool Partition Wizard Manager. You can download it HERE.
2. Insert your SD card to a card reader and open it on your computer.
3. Back up all your files to the computer because partitioning will wipe your data.
4. Open Mini Tool in your computer. Locate your SD card (be careful in choosing and make sure not to choose the drive of your computer)
5. Right click and choose Delete.

}
6. Right click on it again and choose Create New. Create “FAT32″ partition (This is where all your media files will go. Be sure to make it bigger than the 2nd part)
7. Select “Create as: PRIMARY”
8.Next, create an ext2/ext3/ext4 partition. This is where your apps will go so I suggest you allocate enough memory for your purposes.
9.Select “Create As: PRIMARY” (make sure that it is both set to primary because it will not work if it is not set to primary)
10. Click the “Apply” button on the top left corner and wait for it to finish the process. Done.
11.Put back your SD card to your phone and switch it on.
12. Download and install Link2sd from Google Play Store. .
13. Open Link2sd and you will be asked for root privileges so allow it. You will be prompted to choose between ext2, ext3, ext4 and FAT32. Select the one that you picked earlier.
14. It will say mount script created. Reboot your phone now.
15. Open link2sd and if the message doesn't show up, you succeeded
.
16. Go to Link2sd>Settings>check the autolink (to automatically move apps upon installation)
17. If you already have some apps, select the app you wish to move then select “Create Link” (be sure to check the three files: app, dalvic-cache and library files)
18.
19. To check your memory, select “Storage Info”. This will show you the current state of your internal memory, FAT32, and ext* partition.
Now you’re done and ready to install vast amount of applications as you wish!
unable to use 2nd partition
After done everything I am only able to link the 1st partition.'fat32, . Nothing is going to 2nd partition I,e- sdexnt2.
In setting menu I add this also but nothing is moving to the second partition help
Sdext2 should not work because artas182x said that only sdext3 is the only partition that works with his cwm.
LG-P769v20h. 'this the season to give thanks so hit the button already!
Thank you!
Finally found a way to get Link2SD to work on my rooted Virgin Mobile Galaxy S3.
Good,, I'm glad it helped
LG-P769 rooted, debloated, over clocked, under volted, and linked. 'Tis the season to give thanks so hit the button already!
I don't have an SD card reader on my PC can I still proceed without doing a save to PC?
So, this all started, because I was annoyed that Dolphin Browser, wouldn't let me save directly to the external_SD\download folder. I googled, and found out it was a thing since 4.4, that writing to the SD card was kinda wonky. Anyway, I did the "fix" where you add those lines in the platform.xml file, and bluetooth no longer works (something I use every day, so it's important to me). I deleted the file and restored my backup, which at the very most, stopped the bluetooth toast error from constantly appearing. Now, I can no longer take screenshots, or use the camera app. I also noticed that sdcard0 no longer shows as an active directory. Everything appears to have been moved to emulated\0. I have used Root Explorer to try and change folder r/w permissions, to no avail. I'm wondering if having Apps2sd move everything to the sd card, the day prior, aided in this debacle. I have tried using the apps on the play store to fix the sd issue, which just tell me that it's already fixed, even though it isn't.
Is there a known fix to this, other than wiping and starting completely over? When I attempt doing a factory reset, do I need to have the rooted image on the root of the internal memory, and by that I mean, do I need to re-access sdcard0, or will it work on the emulated/0 mount? Will this cause a boot loop?
I am on 11A, and rooted.
I have read all the threads I could on this, but I didn't really see a solution.

i know the feeling but it is best to KDZ 11A on your phone and then reroot it to be safe. there is a way to get the SD card fix without messing with the XML file, i have 1 app but i cant post it on here but i do some looking around tomorrow and i let you know the best one you can use to write to SD card, i got y G4 unrooted to do a video, so once i get it rooted and do some looking around. i let you know
my youtube channel can show you how to use a KDZ file
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDnfyWhSEEo
dont use the same file that i used, just use your 11A KDZ if you want to stay on 11A. if you want to use 13B please use the LGUP tool dont take the OTA cause you may be pushed to 25A

Hello, dear experts!
I just got a new Lg G3 d855 32gb with stock android 6.0. I rooted and installed twrp according to the tutorial by tute123456.
I recovered my apps from an old phone (with android 5.1) using Titanium Backup Pro.
I made some custom settings in some apps, rearranged my apps on the homescreen, restarted the phone several times, etc.
At first everything worked flawless and as expected....
Then after another restart, suddenly almost all of my (about 150 of 200 apps) where gone and instead of their app icon a green android icon appeared on the home screen (see screenshot):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When i click on the green icon i get the message "this app is not installed". Also the apps are not showing up as installed anymore in google play store or in TitaniumBackup. BUT they still take up space in the application root folder (/data/data/...).
Of course i could recover the apps again with TitaniumBackup, but as i have arround 200 apps this would take a couple of time (at least 30 minutes)...
I guess that in fact the apps are not really gone but something has just broken the links to the apps.
So this is what i did so far... unfortunately without success:
I restarted the phone several times and waited long time before entering the sim code... no change!
i started Market doctor in TitaniumBackup, but the gone apps doesn't show up.
I wiped dalvik cache with TWRP, after restart the upgrading dialog box appears but only 56 (of arround 200) apps are rebuilt.
I tryed repair system in TWRP... no success!
I recovered all apps using TitaniumBackup again... the now uptaking space increased (!)... after a few restarts (maybe 10 to 12)... same thing again... funny little green android icons
I didn't ever move any apps to sdcard and never made use of app2sd. And i always took care not to restore any system apps with TitaniumBackup. :good:
Do you have any idea what happend to my android?
Why did everything work as expected even after some restarts?
Do have any idea how to recover my apps permanently ??
