Yes. I know you're going to tell me to use the search or google, etc. But believe me when I say I have tried a lot already.
I'm getting this error when I try to install or update almost every APK on my Android. SOME will install or update and I can tell you there's nothing to do with file size. The storages seem to have plenty of free space, apps install smoothly when I factory reset my phone, but after a few days I start getting this annoying error.
I'm running the latest Nightly build from CyanogemMod for LG p720h (Yea, it's not stable and I know I should expect some... erm... bugs). It's Android 4.1.2.
I know the Internal Storage is emulated and have tried many many many fixes I found in this very forum and all over the internet. I'm a game developer so I know a few things about adb shell/logcats but couldn't find/understand anything analizing those during an APK install. I can provide logs, etc.
Can anyone help me find out how to solve this problem? Any idea of what's going on?

Is because your phone doesn't have enough ram(storage for apps) to hold those apps. If you have an sd card you can use AppMgr III (App 2 SD):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd
You can move apps to either internal or external storage

I was able to install this app but it didn't work, it says the primary external storage is emulated. The Storage manager says it has 548mb free space on my internal storage which should be plenty.
And even if I uninstall an app 50mb big I can't install other apps, even if they're 1MB or less. I don't think it has anything to do with "real" available storage.

apps don't use internal storage, they use a partition inside the internal, which is why you dont get all the storage on the box.

Have rooted the phone s3...but am unable to move apps to sd .
There's a method but seems too complicated...
Any other ideas anyone or is it for the best to leave apps on the phone in the case of pics
You have an app called app 2 sd on play store. I think it will work.
btw: are you from Dubai??
Nope does not work....as far as in have read its something thats not possible on the s3 so far...due to ics.
Neways they say its better this way....
Yes akhiiiiii....i am from Dubai......
app 2 sd may not be needed in s3 . as the sgs3 use the whole internal sd for data + user files there is no need to move it to sd

I've been using my SGS3 for 3 days now. 16GB internal +32GB external SD
So far:
- device memory total space 11.35GB & available 1.65GB (downloaded my Google Play Music collection, went straight to internal memory, no choice)
- SD card total space 29.71GB & available 29.71GB
What I hope is happening:
is what I've been reading about but no proof... the data is being distributed somehow between both cards and it just doesn't show, OR, the internal storage has 11GB dedicated to apps & music and what-not, and once that is used up, any additions will be moved to the external SD
What I think will happen:
"You have run out of memory, please remove some files or apps to proceed", in a typical Microsoft moment...
I was prompted only once to install stuff on the external SD; those were additional files (250MB) that needed to be downloaded for a game I had just installed. Of course I chose external SD but it doesn't look like it worked...

Was shocked when I got my S3 and saw it didn't supports app2sd. My friend has almost filled up his 16GB internal with apps. His 64GB SD card can't even used for apps at this point.
I am keen to see what happens with this SD card business. Why have the SD card if your apps cannot utlise it. e.g using rdio and 16gb for offline storage and games and movies etc is simply not sufficient.
Any solutions as of now?
Is there any market app that ha been proven to work or any ROMs that have this enabled?
This is very inconvenient........
help
has there been any movement on this issue as my internal is full, i have a 16gb sd but from what i have read us with the s3 can not move apps to the sd card, please help,, thank you

It's probably used by programs you installed. If you don't care for those programs, try to uninstall them. That will free up some space.

"Others" is just the collection of all not video, not picture and not music files on your sd card.
It could be downloads, backups, system/cache files, app data (e.g. local maps, offline information, etc.), emails, messages, contacts, calendar entries, etc.
So, "Others" gives you nearly no additional information about what it is really.
You should have a closer look at your sd card content with a file explorer, such as ES File Explorer (free app from Google Play store).
Then browse your files.
Some suggestions:
1. Maybe you can remove all unused apps in menu "Settings" > "Applications" first. Some apps need much storage on your sd card - especially those with local/offline data.
2. And check your email/messages. Maybe you can remove all old entries to get more free space on your internal storage.
3. Check your download/browser folder(s). Maybe there is a high internet "cache". In most browsers you can set an option to remove the internet cache.
Good luck !

Hello. I am running very low on RAM (internal memory) on my Original Droid RAZR. I am aware that there are root apps that use SD Card memory as RAM. Some apps are: "RAM Manager" and "Swapit RAMEXPANDER by ROEHSOFT". You can get them in the Play Store.
Video of one of the apps:
Will this actually work? Thanks.
wait...ram or internal memory?? ram can't be changed but you can increase your internal memory by swapping it with your sd card...in razr its easy to do so...you do need root though
you do that by changing the "sdcard-ext" to "sdcard" and sdcard to sdcard-ext"

Sorry, I am getting them confused. I meant to say Internal Memory. So I can just swap it with ALL of my SD Card space? Or can I choose how much? and with what app do I do this with? Thanks for reply.

He is trying to use some extra storage space on his sdcard as a sort of page file or swap file to give him more memory for the OS to run in I think. Who knows with people, myself included, interchanging the terms memory, RAM, and storage. I do it, but it is inadvertant.

Yes that is exactly what I want to do. Is it possible without root?
No its isn't!
After rooting you ccan make a 'partition' on your sd card that will be assigned to the phone memory. You can use link to sd for this and make partition through CWM...once you read about rooting youll get to know about CWM..so search around this forum..

It seems that you missed some of the updates of the app, when you mount it ONCE it kepps there always, there's an option to set on boot and auto-dismount /re-mount when you plug / unplug from PC so no worries at all at any time, since I first insalled that app 3 weeks ago I never went back to set nothing, why would you mount and unmount each time? or is another app which you are talking about

Ah I was talking about the app "GL to SD"
but i just did the swap so I dont know if ill go back to app, but thanks for the suggestion will keep it in mind for future use
This may be the most stupid question ever but I have a Galaxy SII running Samsung 4.1.2 ROM rooted and deodexed, but the /system folder only has a limited amount of space even though I have 16GB internal memory, is there a way to sacrifice some usable memory to get more /system memory so I can add some stuff to /sysem/app etc?
Thanks
So you want to increase the actual sdcard-size?
I don't think that's possible. You could install some sd-tools that free up unused space and thereby give you more space to use.
Or you could just delete files and apps you don't need.
But as far as I'm concerned increacing actual sd-size is not possible.
I don't own a S3, but I guess it doesn't have a external_sd-slot?

No, I mean if I go to root explorer and then /sysem/app, it only shows like 8MB available even though my SD card is 16GB, is there a way I can increase system memory so I can force install sysem apps and custom frameworks without having to worry about that limit?
The system partition is separate to your internal sdcard, if you go to storage in system settings you can see an internal storage of about 2gb, your 16 gb internal sdcard and also any micro sd you might have installed. Apps installed to phone reside in the 2gb storage unless they are moved to the sdcard (16gb).
I have about 200mb free in my system partition but it varies based on the Rom you are using and any system apps that are installed.

That's why you don't have much system partition space left, most of those apps would be installed there. But like I said your system partition is different to where your user apps are installed. Change to a lighter Rom if you want to push more apps to your system/apps folder.

If you are able to boot into a separate partition, such as with custom recovery, you can repartition and get the system:internal:external ratio you need. Of course, this would require knowledge of your partition layout, the ability to use 'parted', and some knowledge of how to format a drive via the command line.

He re-Partitioned the USB drive and gave more capacity 4,6 or 8GB to Device memory and it worked like magic as shown in the Image attached.
