Hello guys,
Problem is that the device showed that it is unable to download or update new apps from Play because it does not have enough storage.
1. Device storage - 280 MB free
2. USB storage - 10 GB free
3. SD card - 11 GB free.
I used APP2SD and moved all apps that I can, but it did not really help.
My question is:
How can I extend the "Device storage" space? Which has total of 1.97 GB only....
My device is:
GT-19100T
4.1.2
Kernel
3.0.31-1211311
I think it is stocked carrier rom and unrooted.
somebody knows?
R u rooted ?
U can delete odex files from data/app
U can clean all cache aps
Very good cleaning apk is sdmaid .
If u change setings in sdmaid it will clean odex for u

I am not rooted - But I can be if neccessary.
I made a full reset from device settings, then made wipe from the stock Recovery.
Before reset all device content, I tried cleaning apps cache and use the APP2SD... I didn't try the sdmaid.
So what the size of these Odex files?
And what about extending the partition from 1.97 GB to bigger than that? Is there any SAFE option to make that? I want to avoid getting this error again.
I saw some threads about people that also stucked with error about "not enough storage" even though they had EMPTY sd card, and lots of space in USB device memory...... But no good solution yet.
Thanks!!!
That wot i knw extending colud cause problems its no worthit try to clean ur media cache and the rest rubish use sdmaid to clean ur phone . am use it all the time and never had anny issue with not enough storage

Hey guys, i have partitioned my sdcard ext3 to ext4 then installing megatron rom to enable the darktremor app2sd. I did that, but why still get this "insufficient space storage" and i cant install any apps anymore.
The funny thing is that i check in both settings and app2sd app, my phone memory space available is 41.09mb but says insufficient storage?

in app manager u can move some of them to sd
and some app require a lot of free space so u can install them (specialy some games)
I have already move all my movable apps to my sd. But now if i try to install games from market it says "installation unsuccesful" and in the market it says "insufficient storage". But its funny my phone memory available is 30mb but why it says not enough memory???
So i have to uninstall some apps that saved in phone memory to free some space and install a new apps which i dont want to do. Please help.
Or maybe pls teach me the correct way step by step to partitioned my sd card and to enabled the darktremor apps2sd. I just want to install as many apps i want without worrying about insufficeint space storage. Please... i want to be a happy androidians

The partitioning depends on the rom you-re using. But probably you'll need around 512 Mb of ext partition, i recommend ext2 if youre using stock rom, or ext4 if going on Void/Megatron. And 0 swap. That's kinda all you need. Just install a2sd app, or make the a2sd folder in void/settings and reboot (if you're on void).
Take care of what apps you move on the SD, as important and often used apps behave better on the phone memory. So do not move apps with widgets, background running apps.
PS Try a full wipe from recovery and then reinstall Megatron/Void with a2sd
You could also try clearing the browser cache settings>applications>manage applications>all> scroll down to browser an tap clear cache. I have ~7mb browser cache size after about 10 minutes of internet browsing
After installing the script must run commands in Terminal emulator:
su(allow)
a2sd cachesd (phone reboot) - it will transfer the cache to SD
if use a2sd 2.7.5.3 after loading:
su
a2sd datasd (phone reboot) - it will transfer folder "data" to SD
check the status of:
su
a2sd check
Please please me teach me accurately STEP BY STEP.
Im using megatron rom, someone said darktremor app2sd already in the megatron rom but u need to partition thing first, i did that. But maybe i did a mistake? So please teach me again step by step whatever it takes even if i have to format/wipe my data and reinstall megatron rom or whatsoever. Thank you.
Waiting for reply

Ok here what i do for more details.
First i partitioned my sd card, 512mb and 0 thing, then ext2 to ext3 and ext3 to ext4. Then i wipe my data. Then i install the megatron rom then i install mik os kernel. And finally reboot.
Tell me did i do any wrong to enabled the darktremor app2sd? Or maybe i missed something? Please help guys

please delete all hidden folders on the sd card (they start with ".foldername")
of course make backup before.
you might need to redownload some apps then.
This is caused if you had apps in a previous version moved to sd.
how do i delete them if they are hidden???
thank you
The file explorer on the rom shows them or use root explorer. Or in windows set show all files (google how to show hidden folder on windows)

I am still gettin the same message that i dont have enough space on sd.
Should i format my sdcard?
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
First i would suggest to deinstall the apps which are already on sd. Then format sd card (make sure to only have 1 partition).
Then download from market and reinstall the apps. Then move to sd.
This is how i managed it.
(you can goto settings,applications,application administration and click on the sd tab and deinstall apps)

Although we can move apps to sd with rooted device but it still comsumes some memory form mobile. Is it not possible to move apps to sd without any consumstion of internal memory?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA
I dont think so...
Partition your SD and use link2SD if you're on stock rom or a2SD / s2e if you're on custom rom. Still, all apps use a small amount of internal storage. Also check if your cache isn't too big, I've recovered up to 40 MB by clearing cache every few months.
You can use "S2E" from market and tick all option including the data one but you will get a decrease in performace. For data you must enter in definitions and tick advanced for accessing it.
I am using Miracale v4 by itasoulas and using link2sd to move apps to sd but if i download heavy size app or games it takes much more internal memory so, i'm running out of internal memory.
If i do partition of my sd card to install app separately will it also consume internal phone memory?

I have made partition of sd yet. Im thinking of making it if I get any solution.
I used Link2SD and now have over 100mb free internal space. I partitioned the sd card to ext3, 1024mb.... works like a charm, no performance issues.. widgets are recognized as well.

lol why should I? who cares anyway.
get titanium backup and use the "Convert to system app" option...this moves the app to free ROM memory...this should give you at least 25-45 MB user memory

Forum ma search kar bo topic 6 enu upar
i choose manual to move app to sdcard from settings(no use any app for this),20 hd games+17 casual games + 35 apps i still have 70mb free memory,maybe s2e gives more free space but it isn't stable,sometimes when i unplug my battery because of lags,then my apps are gone,link2sd is rubbish,they just give me 40 mb space and unstable like s2e.
sorry for my english

Absolutely true, the only thing good is that it still keeps the app fast (+ widgets) and no hassle on connecting USB
Useful for just those 4-5 apps one wants
Even in link2sd no hassle in USB class 10 sdcard so its super fast :-D

You need a rooted Ace for this? And custom ROM?
Guys,
Sorry to ask a noob question:
I know how to partition the SD card to EXT, but does these apps mentioned, Link2SD etc, working with stock rom? And uprooted phone?
Thanks.
Yes.
But you need follow the tutorials that are posted in the forum (hit search).
In stock roms u need (i guess) another kernel that support inid.d scripts.
The only reason i love cyanogen is because of s2e, after move dalvin on ed-ext i have 160 mb and with all my apps (20-+) i have 140mb.
I don't know if on stock u can do what s2e does but there are another tricks. (Link2sd) for exemple.
I use 1 TAP cleaner to wipe out cache , but since last few days i see that much more "device memory" has been used by what i don't know !!
I uninstalled many less-used apps from the task manager yet the "free-memory" shown is not as much as it should be on the device !!
I also move many apps to SD using app2sd but still the device memory has not been freed as per my expectation !!
Am i missing something , help me out guys because out of the 1.97 GB available i have hardly 0.94 GB left as free memory on device !!
Just counted roughly & the downloaded apps account for about 150 MB , that's all !!
Am i missing a trick here ???
Try wiping dalvik cache in recovery. That takes up quite a bit of space in the data partition. Wiping it will rebuild it again and clear out some leftover bits from old apps (I suppose)

It's your app data that's probably hogging up all your storage. Try installing Storage Analyser and use that to find out what's taking up too much storage. I'm pretty sure Storage Analyzer can be installed on your sd.
Just downloaded storage analyzer but it only analyzes the SD !! Secondly my device is "not rooted" , is there still a way or is there an app available which shows "phone memory" analysis & a way to remove unnecessary cache ??
Can you give your device into first ?

I got same phone and same ROM and you can't choose default installation place, because S3 has internal storage for apps.
Maybe some notes from my experience will helps to you:
1. Not enough space error - this error causing not only when you have few storage space, this error may cause when not enough space in cache, where play store downloading updates/new apps before install. So in such situation any cleaner will helps to you, i'm using SD Maid Pro, but free Clean Master on any other cleaner will be useful
2. If you will install lot of heavy apps (Like i do) - you will always suffer from a lack of free space, so you need something to move heavy data from phone storage to SD-card - my choice was Folder Mount, that moved android\data and android\obb to sd-card but you can link absolutely any folders in internal card to SD.
3. Abut updates it is not clearely, can you provide more info about your phone, what update you trying to install and some logs/screenshots/description about error in installation?
Same problemo
i had the same problem once with stock 4.3 but now am in a custom ROM no problemo now
