Does anyone know the stock cache partition size for the Core Prime?
We're having issues with one of our apps being listed as "Unsupported" in the Play Store, and I'm wondering if it's simply too big to fit on the cache partition so isn't offered to users of the Core Prime. All other specs seem ok for our app.
Thanks,
Steve

Ok so I have 74mb of space left. And I'm trying to download a 9.xx mb app from the play store. However it says I can't because I have insufficient space available. I don't understand how I don't have enough space st 74 MB to download a 9 mb app. I've cleared cache and everything too. Can anyone give me an answer as to why this is? Fyi the app is the game minibash, if that makes a difference
Menu/ Settings/ applications/ manage applications / All (apps) / Google Play Store / Clear cache
try it
Wheres it trying to install SD card or internal memory? 9mb is the compressed file size, once installed it will be larger.
Maybe android is reserving a certain amount of working space for caches and stuff like that. Can you push some apps to sd to free up some space?

Transfer apps from SD to Phone, or from Phone to SD
Every app that is movable has been moved
any apps on which I can clear the data to free up space, like amazon appstore and play store, etc have been cleared, and I clear the cache like 5 times a day. I don't know what else to do.

It tells me on the play store that the size is 9.02 mb. From the play store page of that app I don't know how to tell if it installs onto the sd card or the phone. Is there a wqy to tell?
How many apps have you downloaded? Free up some space by deleting an app or two that you don't use much. Then download this set it to external and move apps at will to the sd card. You should then have plenty of space.
Ok if you're in this forum you should have the evo 3d too, but if you did you'd know that the app you told me to download is not compatible with the 3vo, so I can't use that to help me since I can't download it.

An update then must have made it incompatible if it used to be... Thats how an app is on my phone right now, it has an update but when I go to update it it says its not compatible with my phone so I can't update it. OH well. That'd be a really awesome app cuz i have some apps that are like 10+ mb that are not sd compatible so if I could force them to go there that'd be awesome. But it's not compatible. shoot

You might give that a shot, I have no idea how well it works.

OK I came across this problem last month & tried to find a solution. I discovered many posts to the same problem however I was only able to fix it by doing a factory reset. The problem has come up again & I'd rather not reset it again. It only comes up after numerous picture uploads to Facebook. Until I do that my phone runs fine. I'm running Open Kang if that makes a difference. Given this information does anyone have a suggestion as to how to fix it? It was suggested that I flash a new ROM as maybe the one I have is too big? Starting to get extremely frustrated with a phone I've only had since April & really know nothing about

This is (as others suggested) a problem with the ROM you have installed. There really is no way of getting around a wipe, but you can download an app called "Titainum Backup" and backup your apps from there. Once you get into your new ROM, simply download Titainium Backup again and restore your apps.
As far as fixing the problem goes, I would reccomend using ODIN to flash back to stock, then flash CM9. (However, I am sure that flashing from your current rom directly to CM9 would work just as well)
The real reason this is occurring is the mounting of the /datadata simlink to the /data/data partition, this is actually in the kernel and sets it when flashing, not the rom. That partition stores the data for applications, and continues to grow as apps run. Often times when you sync alot of emails it will also fill the partition when its mounted as /datadata, so that makes sense with your pic uploads to facebook, now I'll tell you why.
Early on in ICS builds, we had two schools of thought. If you mount with the /data/data partition, you have essentially 2GB of space for that app data, however, this comes at the cost of decreased performance and much slower application response times. If its mounted with /data/data symlinked to /datadata, it clips that partition at about 180MB, a lot smaller, but the increase in performance is phenomenal.
So it was damned if you do (slow response times) or damned if you don't (less space) for those of us in the rom game. I think most (myself and DD included) made a conscious decision after lots of testing, to use /datadata with less space, for faster performance.
You may be easily able to resolve it by performing some simple app maintenance. On apps like email and gmail, set your sync interval down to a few days, uninstall unnecessary applications, and with facebook, I don't use it myself, but try clearing its cache if there is a setting for that, or go into apps in settings, and clear the data for the application. You may have to sign in again, but it should not effect your uploaded content, merely clear the local cache on the phone freeing up that /datadata space.
Hope this sheds some light on the issue for you, and how you can avoid it or remedy it going down the road.

I have broken my 8Gb flash 80 G9 and am considering replacing it with the 250Gb HD model (as i can pick one up for a good price)
How much space is there for installing apps on the 250Gb HD model?
I would hope that there is at least the same amount of space in flash memory and the HD is reserved for media content?
"just" 2 go
2Gb is pretty bad.
Hmmm not good!
just for the apk, it is good

And applications that require additional data; for example games or GPS software? Can this extra data be transferred to the HD ?
yes the gps maps are on the HDD, for the game it is the same
Thank you Cajil.
Sorry to keep asking all these questions but I want to make sure I make the right decision :
Does this behaviour of extra data installing to the HD happen automatically or do I need to use something like app2SD to force it to happen?
I don't use app2SD

It's 2GB flash chip, data partition (mmcblk0p4) is 1.5GB. Note that Apps2sd (native) is disabled, I can't say if 3rd party would work or not.
You may try to make an additional empty ext4 image and mount it as /data/app using init.d script
I have an HDD 80g9 and I'ma having serious problems with the app space.
Since I started installing custom roms I don't have a lot of space left.
Just to make an example:my most space consuming apps are: chrome, firefox, angrybirds space, google currents and facebook. All togheter they sum up to 134mb and with all the other small apps I have 350mb of free space left.
The other day I couldn't update angrybirds space because it said I have not enough space. I had to uninstall and then re-install the app from scratch and it worked.
The biggest problem is that I can't install any other game or "big" app like autodesk sketchbook or photoshop because it says so.
If I could go back I would get the 16gb version and maybe buy an extra SD.
btw, apparently there's no way to move apps to the hdd.

This sounds bad.
Seems to me like the 250Gb HD model is crippled.
I want to install lots and lots of apps; ( I could install plenty of apps with my old 8Gb non-turbo) and now it seems that if I buy the 250Gb HD model I can install fewer apps?!?
OR is this only a problem when using custom ROMs? If I use the stock/default Archos ROMs will I still be able to install lots of apps without running out of space?

I was able to install more apps with the unrooted stock rom.
every day I think about going back, but I need the benefits of rooting.
Right now I'm using a backup app to manage the apps I don't use frequently: when I need to use one of those, I backup a game, uninstall it and then restore the backup of the app I need.
It's not an ideal solution, but in the end it only takes a few minutes to do it.
The real problem for me is the lack of support of app2sd or similar. If someone is able to solve that, the tablet would be fine.

-Rooted/custom firmware uses 400MB of /data space (system image is stored in /data/local) so usable /data space in this case is ~1GB (for apps & app+system data)
-Stock rom (thus also custom ones) does not support native Apps2sd because to HDD access times -much slower than flash memory- and power usage
And don't forget that Gen9 was designed primarily as multimedia center
Well, this morning I was cleaning data on my DX (caché, app data, etc.) using Link2SD (I like how it organizes apps and details size of each type of data). Some apps stored 50MB of cache and it bugs me, cause it isn't phone's memory only, microSD card is storing cache too, and I wonder if we can limit the amount of cache stored in the phone (and SD card too).
If your phones rooted, use an app called cache mate, real simple and straight forward, it does what it needs to, and you can set it up to clear cache at certain times. Its a free app, you can get the pro if you want additional features.
Just search it up on the Play Store.

I want to use this app for a legit reason. My s5 is a 16gig phone. I am running out of memory. Some apps just will not move to sd card. i was told to google this app and download it. Let it odex all files on my phone. It even says it frees up space on tool tip. Would this be a safe idea? Also i see that with 1 click i can wipe the dalvik cache. I use root explorer to do that, but thats a few clicks just to do that. Another reason i like luckly patcher.
So again, please mods dont close this topic till i get a straight answer about odex all files. Just cant get a google search to give me a direct answer. Also if odex the files is safe, would i have to stay away from clearing the dalvik cache? I play marvel avengers alliance on android. Tap joy gives free in game currency for downloading apps off play store. So after every 10 apps i uninstall ,i clear dalvik.

Odexing files will not necessarily free up disk space. If (at best) it may give you a very slight increase in boot time, that is it. If you want to try and force apps to sdcard then i would try to use an app like titanium backup. Most likely though you would probably benefit more from seeking out what us using all your space. Their are many disk analyzing apps in the store that will help you. if you play some games though, a lot of them download and store many mb of data on your sdcard for the game to function properly and it cannot be removed to play the game.

I suggest using folder mount. You can place internal folders onto the external memory card and use folder mount to mount that external folder to the internal one.
