Can someone tell me what this means? Also for some reason I can't install certain apps, such as firefox, even though it states that I have about 600 mb of free space?

It would help if you give out more information, like how and where do you get this message.
And about the problem with installing Apps, I think the 600MB of free space you are seeing are of your Micro SD Card because the Xperia Play only has around 400MB of Internal Storage.

I see this mesage when I enter cwm. I'm using x elite gamer and xtreme kernel.
The 600 mb should be from the internal storage (I think its a custom partition) because I have a 32 gb sd card and it does have many things on it.

I have little background in traditional PC hardware. So if some one says their computer specs are 3Ghz dual core, 4 GB ram, 1TB hard drive I can understand it.
Say my EVO specs are:
1 GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 200 GPU, Qualcomm QSD8650 Snapdragon chipset
Internal 512 MB RAM; 1 GB ROM
I am guessing your EVO has the same specs.
So what is my RAM?
and What is my internal storage?
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
I installed Quick system Info pro and it gave me the following specs:
SD Card storage: 7.39 GB, Free 6.8 GB
A2SD Storage : 211MB , Free 65 MB
Internal Storage: 426 MB , Free 291 MB
System Storage: 350 MB Free 68.2 MB
System Cache : 160 MB , Free 157 MB
Memory : 415 MB , Free 109 MB, Idle 14.61 MB
Can some one please take a look at the above stats and tell me what they mean and what can I do to increase my performance as far as making my phone snappier/faster?
____________________________________________________________
Is that "disk" space or RAM available? Or am I talking completely different things?
If I uninstall apps, this space is freed, will my phone be snappier too becuase of increased space? Is RAM == Disk space in these phones?
ANyone help me out understanding this?
Also, I installed apps2sd and I move whatever apps I can to sd card but not all? This was before I rooted the EVO. so
does apps2sd doesnot require root? Then why doesnt google do that by default?
Finally, I rooted the phone using unrevoked recently, is there a way for me to move the remaining apps to sd card which did not move when the phone was un rooted?
Sorry for the barrage of questions. Its saturday and I meant to ask these questions for a long time so I guess I will do the due diligence today.
Thanks guys!

From the overall memory, 512 MB are for use in storage while another 512 MB are for RAM. These are hard limits, freeing one does not necessarily means adding to the other.

See above. There are ways to make the phone more responsive: installing a new kernel can help OR using an overclocking app such as setCPU or juice defender. Obviously, faster phone == faster battery drain in most cases.

Google's app2sd and the app2sd included with certain custom roms (darktremor's) are different things: the google one can only move the app IF the app itself supports it, in some cases ONLY the data associated with the app is moved not the actual app. This does not require a separate EXT2/EXT3 partition.
Darktremor's A2SD works by moving the entire app and its data to the SD card by creating a link to the SD card, the issue with this is that the SD card MUST be partitioned and EXT3 formatted in order to work properly. Not the entire SD card must be partitioned, only a small fraction of it (512 MB).
Finally, I rooted the phone using unrevoked recently, is there a way for me to move the remaining apps to sd card which did not move when the phone was un rooted?

Yes, you can run the command using a computer with ADB installed OR from a terminal emulator: apps2sd reinstall. After you run it, it will reboot the phone OR it will display any errors that prevent A2SD from running properly. You must already have the SD card partitioned in order to use this. Note that you must run the command on 'root' mode or it will display error msgs everywhere that might not be connected with the real error. So make sure you run su first (unless the command prompt already runs in root mode).
i really do not know enough to fully explain it to you.
but if you take all the info you have and add it up you will find all you RAM and ROM.
about 1.5 gb of memory.
Internal Storage: 426 MB , Free 291 MB
System Storage: 350 MB Free 68.2 MB
System Cache : 160 MB , Free 157 MB
Memory : 415 MB , Free 109 MB, Idle 14.61 MB
android takes your phone memory (not sd card) and splits it ... to use as it sees fit.
if you are low in memory because you have too much installed..
when you uninstall apps.. you do free space for the phone to you and will see better performance.
but from your posted info.. your phone should not see any performance issues. I dont see issues till my free storage memory falls below 120 mbs.
you do have memory lost that you nor your phone can use:
System Cache : 160 MB , Free 157 MB
and there should be a few others too... about 200mb lost.
there is a way to get it back, but it is not for NOOBs to try.
Search in the development forum of evo ... for firerat partition mod.
Hey,
xperia arc memory is only 320 MB
and LINK2SD method is make my app start slow and not smoothly at all, so is there any way better than these ?
My arc is stock ICS rooted, stock kernel
Hi,
The only other way is to use apps2sd. Though this only moves some apps to the sd card, and you will still end up having problems with space.
Link2SD is the best option. If it's running slow, get a faster class card like a class 6 or class 10
just Flash Arc S FTF,
u Will Get 420 MB Internal Space.
Problem Solved
with titanium backup, you can move apps to the system rom, using free space that other ways gets wasted.

(i use it because its the only type witch work with sotck ICS)

get a class 10 memory card..then try link2sd..your apps will open in a flash
There is a new way to increase internal memory. AD2SDX.
here is the thread for the AD2SDX: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18561098
and in that thread one person has claimed it is better than Link2SD.
I want to do it..but i am searching if anyone has tried it first.
Hello.
I am getting an error then i'm trying to run asphalt 6 and dungeon hunter 3 and other games. "You do not have enough available space on your memory card to install the game. You need to delete 993 MB from your applications (videos, images)."
Can anyone help me, Please?
Unless someone can upload you some SD card space, time to bite the bullet and buy a bigger SD card.
I have 7.02 GB available :/

Can someone please help me? My ion doesn't have enough phone memory to download anymore apps, but the internal storage has a few gigs open. I moved as many apps as I could to the internal storage, but I still can't even download 1 app. Is there any way to have apps automatically download to the internal storage? Thanks.
Once phone's memory is full, internal memory could not be used for installing any more apps no matter how much free space it has.
If i'm not wrong, Xperia ion as around 1.8 GB free for installing apps. and you have moved all apps to internal memory,
How many apps have you installed on your phone ? Are you trying to copy down whole Google play store in your phone ?

I moved all that I could to the internal storage but I still can't download any apps. It's says I've used up around 0.92gigs of the phone memory, all on apps then I have 4 gigs of apps in my internal storage and 4 gigs of free space. Every time I try and download something from the play store it just says insufficient memory.
Btw, how'd you jellybean your ion?

What do you mean you moved everything to internal? Are you using all of your apps? You could try to uninstall some apps and see if downloading new ones work. You can also move applications to SD Card. That will also free up space. I would just uninstall some things I'm not using.
He's able to install JB because he has either the h or i version of the phone, with an unlocked bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader allows for more customization.

What you are asking is impossible, you can´t make bigger the space of you´re phone, using the sd card.
Allthough you can try to use some applications to move the apps to you're SD, apps like Link2Sd(You need root) or more.
Also you can root you´re mobile and use titanium backup to delete apps you don´t need and you can´t remove,normally, but attention, if you remove some apps you´re phone can stop working.
I hope i helped!
If you have unlocked bootloader, you can flash Lupus GB kernel. It have 640MB data partition. And with the help of Link2SD (to move as much apps as you can to SD) it should be enough for some time
You could also partition SD card so apps2sd or link2sd can use it expand storage but is somehow harder to setup. You might check http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning

Are you rooted? If so get titanium backup pro (it's worth the $6 or $7). There's an option for moving dalvik-cache to /cache in there. Depending on phone, you can free up 80-100 MB of space by doing this. Here is the manual method, but it may not work on a lot of devices. Lack of space on these phones was my driving force for rooting it. I'm not certain about this (maybe someone who knows can chime it), but I believe making a separate small ext3 partition for your apps (something like 1-2GB) on your SD card helps out with speed of apps stored on there using link2sd.
