"Not enough memory" even when I have plenty.

Since Chrome can't download ZIP files correctly, I have to use the Stock Browser. But when I download a ZIP, it says download unsuccessful. Then I go and tap on the file to see the issue and it says "Download failed: not enough memory."
I have like, 10+ GB avaliable on both my SD Card and Internal storage, so I don't understand the issue. The ZIP file is 22MB.
I am on FreeGS3 as well.

Are you running any App2SD apps? I had this issue when I was using one a couple months ago, and when I uninstalled that the issue went away.

See if you can get sdmaid installed and run the orphan cleaner i think it is called.

I used Directory something to make a link to my External SD card in my /sdcard/ folder.

I'm new to rooting and just wanted to say thanks out load to u Tazfanatic. I was having the same problem today and followed your suggestion and seems to be working.
OK I spoke to soon. I was able to download a picture, but was trying to DL an app from design rift and it keeps telling me not enough memory. As with the original post I have plenty memory. I downloaded SD maid and did the corpse cleaner. I'm to much of a noob to start deleting stuff without guidance. I'm running the newest version of The People's ROM. I hadn't had this problem that I know of prior. Again thanks for any help that can be yielded.

I would copy all your important files from internal and external storage to your computer and reformat everything then copy back over what you need.

When u say "all my important files" are you talking about like pictures and junk I've put on here or are u talking about system files and personal files? Just wanna make sure before I do it. And what can I muck up doing this?

Pictures, personal files, backups, your rom zip etc...
Check your back ups you should never have more than one or two back up nandroid those take huge amount of space.
Just keep in mind anything on storage is either important to you personally but not to the phone, there won't be any system files necessary to the operation of the device.

Did you flash recently and resyore with tb? Wonder if tb corrupted something which it has been known to do.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I did flash and downloaded tb.I did a backup,but didn't really understand how to do a restore from tb. I also did a backup on clockwork mod. I didn't care for the ROM I flashed so we flashed tpr. When it asked for apps to dl I put tb as a backup app. I still couldn't figure out how to restore from tb and hit backup again. So I'm thinking tb is my nemesis here.

Try uninstalling TB then install the app you are trying to install. To use TB there is a box in the top right hand corner with a check mark that is your menu. And welcome to the TPR family.

[Q] If I put all my apps on my SD card using this method, what are the downsides?

I have a rooted AT&T Galaxy Note II.
Found this article on how to flash the phone so that apps can be put on the external SD card rather than the internal.
It looks easy. Could probably do it in under 5 minutes. The benefits, it seems, would be enormous.
Here is my major concern....
When AT&T pushes the next major update (I already have Jellybean 4.1.2), it will erase the root.
When that happens, will my phone go bezerk because the apps are not where they are supposed to be by default?
Is it always possible to immediately re-root a phone no matter what update is being pushed?
Also...
If an an app has a Google Play Store update to be downloaded, will it update the app if it is sitting on the external card?

[/QUOTE] When AT&T pushes the next major update (I already have Jellybean 4.1.2), it will erase the root.
Well if you're rooted and running a custom rom its likely the developer will take the updated source and update his custom rom, so no real reason to let your phone update from your carrier. And you can turnaround and root it again anyway.
When that happens, will my phone go bezerk because the apps are not where they are supposed to be by default?
From the article it isn't 100% clear but there was a hint that said the path was being modded so I don't anticipate your phone going berserk... And to test my hypothesis I'm gonna flash this in a minute and report back.
Is it always possible to immediately re-root a phone no matter what update is being pushed?
Yes.
Also...
If an an app has a Google Play Store update to be downloaded, will it update the app if it is sitting on the external card?[/QUOTE]
Again the article only hints to this but the only real way to know is to try it out, which I'm gonna do right now.

LittleRedDot,
Wow. How cool to have you here almost "live" testing this modification.
I am not running a custom rom. Just plain 'ol rooted on Jellybean 4.1.2.
I am also wondering if I need to copy all my files over the external SD card or this modification does it for you.
Look forward to your findings and will follow your advice before trying this. May have more questions as well. Will stay tuned.
Again, the link for everyone else watching this thread.

Ok the mod didn't work for me. I downloaded the exfat mod for custom kernel cause my sd isn't formatted and I'm running a custom kernel...
It flashed fine and upon reboot the apps went through the optimization process... Then rebooted, then was in a boot loop for 3 cycles, then got stuck on the samsung screen. I had to manually put it in recovery and restore and known good nand.
I'm gonna format my sd card and try another download, but for now my advice would be to search for another method.

Discouraging to hear, but very much appreciate you being the guinea pig and offering to test this out.

Ok I ended up downloading the fat32 for custom kernel and it work, all 234 apps are installed on my external sd freeing up over 3 gb of storage on my internal sd.
Unable to post pics right now cause the server is overloaded, but I'll edit this post when it let's me. All in all I'd say my original advice is null as I downloaded the wrong file. Good find mate.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

Oh...okay...so this actually WORKS.
Now the questions...
1. Did it automatically take all your apps from your internal drive (that existed there already) and moved them to the external?
2. Does it look like any future downloads I do from the Google Play Store will automatically install the app on the external card or do I have to manually move it?
You have already assured me that if a new update is pushed to my Note II that I can immediately re-root it so my phone doesn't get screwed up with the new app locations.
Thanks for all your assistance

1. Yes it moved them automatically. Using a strong file manager I can see them on my external sd card.
2. Yes any updates save to the external sd card. I confirmed this but manually updating 14 apps and they all saved to ex sd

Wow, this procedure sounded too good to be true -- but it turned out to be the real thing.
...and it moved all the apps, and the apps can be updated in their new location.
What more could one ask for? Going to try this procedure for myself in a few minutes and will report back.
I can't thank you enough for taking the time to try this out.

Make sure you do a backup first and download the correct file. For you, based off what you told me, would be the fat32 for stock kernel.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

Are chances pretty good I'll be okay without doing the backup? I won't hold you responsible if something goes wrong.
What do you use to backup? I use MyBackup Pro, but lately it freezes in the middle of backing up. I do have Titanium Root but I never backed up with it before so I will have to try and figure out how to do it.
But again, if things went pretty smoothly for you and I can escape a backup then for me, all the better.
And yes, I was ready to do the Fat32 kernel. That is the format I erased my card in.

I know cwm is Clockwork Mod. No, don't have installed because I don't install Mods. I am happy with a standard root.
What is twrp? I can easily download it if you recommend it for backup purposes.

If I were you, before I flash anything I would download goo manager from the play store, use it to install the latest TWRP recovery, the go into recovery and do a backup, then flash this sd card mod.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

LittleRedDot,
Having some difficulty flashing.
I downloaded both Fat32 files and got the same result. An E:signature verification failure during flash.
I think the correct file I needed for my stock Jellybean was Mod file for fat32 SD card (stock kernel with init.d support)
Downloaded it to my download directory on external card.
Rebooted into recovery mode (Power, Volume Up, Home Key)
Scrolled down to Install from Download
Found the downloaded file and selected it.
That is where I get the E:signature verification failure.
Any idea what may be going wrong here?
(BTW, backed up the phone to the external drive using Titanium Root. Hope it was okay to backup everything to the same drive I was flashing the drive from)

Script manager won't work because I didn't successfully Mod the phone.

and then locate the .zip file in my download directory, I get the signature failure and the update aborts.

Everything woks fine until step 13. The part where it says chose zip from sd card. The console spits out "E:Can't mount /sdcard/

Ok, now that I'm rooted I'm confused with all this information spread all over the place. Do I need to do anything essential from here on out? I did a backup to SD cad from VOL UP/HOME/POWER.
Do I need to backup or change anything else? I'm just like sitting here rooted.
Is there something I need to backup or save for future use? Do I need to protect myself somehow from carriers detecting I'm rooted? I'm looking at all sorts of FAQ's and honestly its overwhelming and confusing. Can someone just tell me in plain English what I need to do next? Not even thinking about custom ROMs yet.

Not really on the carrier question. For the most part they don't really care. If you don't already use it I'd suggest Titanium Backup. There are several other backup apps but TB is the best

You made a Nandroid Backup of your Stock Rooted Rom. Now as an extra precaution you can copy that backup to your PC \ Laptop. As for Rooted Roms, there are many to choose from. If you want to stay close to Stock, but good extras. You can try TPR ( The People's Rom ) . If you want Stock looking, but insane built in customization. You can look at M.O.A.R ( Mother Of All Roms ) . If you want completely Customized, Themed, and a Ton of built in Extras. Then JellyBomb is a Rom you need to check out. All of the ones I mentioned are Rock solid daily drivers. But they are by no means the only ones around. Also as stated above. If you have a lot of Apps, Titanium Backup is never a bad purchase. Just be careful what you restore.

Not sure alt twrp. From cwm na.driod backup perspective, copu the backup.woth date to your pc. Cwm backuo is lifesaver you will come to knoevwhen you soft brick and restore. Also you can flash through odin vol down instead of up its called download mode. Check xda for suitable firmware rom for your phone. Hope this helps. Thanks button makes you first one for me

Basically cwm backup is otherwise called nandroid backup. Odin flashes firmware and wipes data in the process in my experience.

Now I would just continue to read and learn from all the good threads and people around here. From this point forward its really just what you want to do. Take it slow...and remember never ever flash international roms or roms not meant for your device.

They are both CWM, and TWRP great Recoveries. IMO it's a matter of what you like, and what your Device likes. From my experience it is slightly dependent on your Device. Some Devices work better on one Recovery vs the other. Thankfully it's fairly easy to switch between the two. Especially using The Recovery Switcher.

[SOLVED]Titanium backup 4.3

Hey ladies and gents of the xda community, so I installed factory image 4.3 for maguro (without g wallet) flashed my twrp 2.6 and then used the supersu exploit that was made labeled [SuperSU-JWR66N-S005-130625-1.41.zip] to root my phone, yay it worked(kinda), tried titanium backup to remove system apps like Google currents and was told could not locate apk. So I searched and searched and found this post that the same op said to download [UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip] so I flashed that.
This is what I keep getting from TB:

Is it just titanium backup? Or the root exploit?
My build is the JWR66V for maguro(obviously).
Can anyone help? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
SOLUTION EDIT : apparently it IS titanium backup. I manually removed them with root explorer (/system/app, /data/app) and it went great.

Hey ladies and gents of the xda community, so I installed factory image 4.3 for maguro (without g wallet) flashed my twrp 2.6 and then used the supersu exploit that was made labeled [SuperSU-JWR66N-S005-130625-1.41.zip] to root my phone, yay it worked(kinda), tried titanium backup to remove system apps like Google currents and was told could not locate apk. So I searched and searched and found this post that the same op said to download [UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip] so I flashed that.
This is what I keep getting from TB:

It's titanium backup use any root browser to remove the apps i assume you can get Jrummy's root browser it can remove those files, why it says it can not locate file is due to being removed once "with titanium backup" the apps are being moved to /data/app/ thats why tb can't find the apps located since its "magically moved" to /data/app/ kind of strange and i think its Superuser or App issue from Titanium backup 4.3 that isn't fully compatible

Do you guys also face issues restoring from tb in 4.3? I find that most of my restored apps with data do not work.

Did you change the location of backup folders? If so I'm not entirely sure. I used TB to uninstall apps, I usually just backup all my android/data and android/obb on my PC by copying with USB, never really liked using an app for backups. I tried on stock 4.3 and it didn't work so I just located them myself with my root file manager program.
Sorry I'm not of much help, I'll see what links I can dig up!

Thanks! Actually I need titanium backup more for restoring apps like games and kindle where I want to pick up where I left. No worries, I think it is a titanium backup problem, which will probably be gone when they update their app for android 4.3

Works fine here on 4.3, titanium backup has always worked like normal on 4.3 for me an I haven't had to change or fix a thing.

Hmmm, that's weird, I also flashed 4.3 from the yakju factory image via fast boot (and wiped my data too). I also changed the backup path from 0 to legacy. Did you try uninstalling systems apps using tb? Mine will give an error and I had to delete the apps manually via file explorer.

I never wiped my data when flashing the yakju 4.3 factory image as mskip toolkit gives you the option to keep it like a normal ota would do even when flashing full factory image.

My tibu backup folder location is still in 0 location not legacy an system apps can be uninstalled an restored just fine on 4.3.

Interesting point, though i just to check and my 0 and legacy folders are still mirrors of each other (as it was in 4.2), so I can access my tb folder in either and I'm not sure if the problem is here... Actually I wiped my sd card intentionally to start 4.3 on a clean state, thought this would result in the least number of problem...

Yeah I'm not sure either, I also flashed the Google yakju with fastboot and I DID try uninstalling a system app with TB first. Maybe that created my problem. @fux0r99 that's pretty cool that nothings wrong with your setup, however WE are having something go wrong so please refrain from telling us how great yours is running.
However thank you for the folder information, it all helps!

Apparently titanium backup is trying to resolve the issue now. U can find it's test build via the link in this tweet: https://twitter.com/TitaniumBackup/status/361582620468985856
So far removing system apps works great but I'm not sure if restoring data is normal...

Change the backup location to the 'legacy' folder not the '0' folder.

Getting an md5 mismatch with your nandroid? I have your solution!

This should work on any ROM, any recovery. AOSP, TouchWiz, Sense, MotoBlur, Xperia, whatever.
The very first thing you should do is check the md5sum to make sure it matches itself to ensure that your backup is good to begin with. Because if you use this method without doing that you could restore a bad backup and that may do more harm than good, use at your own risk. Or you can just restore the backup to make sure it's working correctly.
Then open a file browser, navigate to your backup (it should be in the clockworkmod/backups folder on one of your SDs). Open that up, then find "nandroid.md5". Open that file, it should tell you it can't open it and give you an option to "Open As", pick that. Then choose to Open it as a text file. Choose the appropriate text editor (you should have at least one installed, the screenshots are from ROM Toolbox, download it... It has all the tools you need). Delete all the text inside, then save. You are now done, no more md5 mismatch.

What is the reason for MD5 mismatch? It's not like there are multiple ways of computing MD5 with different outputs

On this device it's usually because the nandroid was made on a different recovery than the one it's being restored on. I just do this for every nandroid and don't worry about it anymore.

Thanks bilgerryan. I'm sure it will help many.
One thing I would do first (being a backup nut) is:
Once you've created a nandroid boot into the system and check it via an MD5 checker - I use the AFV app. That way you know it matches 'itself' and is valid as can be for that recovery.
Then go ahead and clear out the info if you plan on using other recoveries - like switching between AOSP and TW etc.
I know we don't have to worry as much in the past but even 'good' recoveries didn't always perform as they should and create incomplete images.
I really hope some people read your post before asking/complaining about mismatches but that might be too much to hope for and we'll just have to see it in the 'facepalm' threard.
Thanks again Ryan for all your work and support!

Yes, you should be able to do that. Or one from a friend's phone. Let me know cuz I haven't tested but I'm 99% sure it will as long as it is the same phone (ie E4GT).

my E4GT died on me and got a new E4GT tried to restore the nand backup that was made by AGAT 1.4.2F and I kept getting md5 mismatch
couple days ago my wife's e4gt died and I am waiting for the replacement. hopefully with this instructions I can use the nand backup.
