0ok now i had a feeling A2SD might not be working, i DL a bunch of apps and i see the phone memory goes down more then the ext partition (SDcard secondary) <~~ thats what it shows on the phone, so it took more memory on the phone than the SD, i know it will still take some space on the phone but would it take more on the phone than the SD?
Sometimes you need to reboot for the apps to be moved.

Rebooting may help, but also, Market can store tons of cache. Try clearing Market cache through the "Manage Applications" menu.

Is anyone else having issues with Market on the ADP 1.51 (CRB43) builds?
When I attempted to download an update to an existing app (GV) it downloads but when it tried to install "Installation error Insufficient storage available"
I have apps2sd and I've removed the stock ringtones from the build giving me only 89% of used space in /system directory and I have about 600mb free on my ext2 partition. Insufficient storage my a$$!
Anyone else have issues with this "Insufficient storage" error?
Do you have the cache etc all running off the SD? Apps is only one step, where it installs the apps to the SD. However unless the cache and so is moved, its like having firefox installed on one drive, but storing your browsing stuff on your main drive still. So youll run out of room unless its all on the SD.

Yeah. Cache is also on SD. Just to be certain, I cleared the cache. Same issue.
I'm assuming your using the app to put things on the sd. I used lucids script to do it to mine. I wonder if something did not get linked over. Tried using a file manager to see what's on the internal?

After clearing the cache and discovering that it didn't work (just for the heck of it I also cleared the cache directory on SD) I tried a wipe and everything downloads again. I fastboot flash my data.img and I'm back to the same issues. Not sure what the problem is but I'm considering a wipe. I already backed everything up by backup pro. I just loathing the fact that Market will loose all the apps that I had installed already (they will all say FREE instead of INSTALLED or UPDATE AVAILABLE). Is there a file for market that marks what has been downloaded/installed?
The tip Id recommend. Try Lucids script for moving the data and cache before doing anything. Since if your ready to wipe, cant hurt to try and see if it does it.
Next do the pre tip I did personally. I used atrackdog, Hit menu and do export, it saves to a .txt file. Open that file and you will know which apps YOU had on there vs everything in the my downloads.
I wish I could help more as far as cache and why its not working fully. Ive had my share of struggles and always lucked out.. which is why I hope the 1st option works for you.

Here is the answer!! i have the same problem, i tried to get out the sd card, and it worked(app installs succcesfully)!!
THE PROBLEM IS: EXT2 PARTITION (android do that.. wrong) the ext partition was causing the problem in the installation
1. download minitool partition wizard(or use a working partition tool)!
2. in recovery(volume down and boot phone into recovery) a, go into usb mode(mount and storage/usb mode) (if you have old recovery, download the 4.0...... i cant remember but the newest what you can find)
you have seen 2 partition and its crap!
3. creat 1 partition FAT32 PRIMARY! and format the SD card! (with all storage) this is all you need on your droid!!!(and your music, pictures and apps too)
4. after that, take rom on the SD and install it.
AND APP INSTALLATIoN WORKS!
Not the same phone but for what it's worth this does not appear to be hardware specific. This problem for me was caused by the Google app sync. As soon as it got too many apps in the install queue, it breaks and thinks the drive is full. I was able to fix it by going into recovery and clearing the cache again on my LG P999.
And I have followed the creating of partition at the cyan wiki page for the Apps2SD but when I install programs from the market, my phone internal storage still decrease.. What's going on?

for future reference please search before posting as this has been answered many times
your apps are stored on the sdcard however the data is still stored in internal memory
Erm okay, my bad. But it will still take out phone storage memory too? In that case, the phone memory storage will still decrease when more applications are installed in?

no prob man ... yea it should take a lil bit of memory for the more apps you have ... but very very insignificant ... i have 100s of apps installed and only like 20mb being used up lol
I see. Okay, that's great! Anyway, can I check with you, since applications are installed in SD, what data are actually installed in the phone memory, what are these datas? If I want to uninstall an application, what's the proper way of doing it since there is these data at the phone memory too?
anyone????
if i am not mistaken, the data still stored are mostly the cache, the setting for each programs (preferences etc).. just remove it normally using the app manager or from the downloads page on the market.
Hi there, when you are saying remove normally is through the 'Manage Applications' tab right?
I just installed the latest version of the fresh Rom. The page for the rom says it will automagically use apps2sd If The card is formatted properly. I use the recovery rom (1.52) to format the card, with a 32mb swap and 512mb ext. But, iapps2sd doesn't seem to be working. I have rbooted, and I have also used the recovery Rom to " move apps and dalv to SD", but the apps are still taking up the phones internal memory.
Is there something I'm missing to activate apps2sd, or move the apps over?
Thanks

I used the link, and got the response that it working. So why then are the apps still taking up the phone memory? Is this the usual response? What happens when it fills up? Is there anything left for me to do?

Everytime you install or run things, internall memeory is still used for data and other items that are not the APK file. What is the memory amount you show as free? A2SD only moves APK's to the SD. Additionally you can move the dalvik-cache there as well, but internal memory still gets used by app data, widget data, etc.. You might have a bunch of widgets storing lots of data.

Sorry to bring up an old thread...
I gotta say that I think there is something wrong with the version of Apps2SD on the Fresh ROM - or something isn't configured correctly.
I get the same issue (as do many others from the digging I have done) - and I KNOW that the programs I have installed aren't using up THAT much memory.
When I switch to any other ROM using A2SD - with all the same programs installed and no changes in the partitioning - I magically have 140 MB free of internal memory.
Any thoughts?

I have pretty much all of my apps installed on my SD card and I am still getting the Low on Space error. My phone says there is 18.9mb left of internal space. GMAIL is the biggest at 58mb and Google Earth is next at 16.76mb. GMAIL is on the phone but Google Earth is on SD. Any way to move gmail data to SD?

don't know this will fix but you can clear the cache of the browser or reboot the phone. that usually fix my problem
Nope. That didn't do anything. How can I tell what is taking all of my internal space.?
If you have Root explorer / EStrongs File Manager / any other explorer that shows system and data folders / Linux knowledge and Terminal installed, you can look in your Dalvik cache folder under /data to see, how much space is taken and by what.
(have the same problem - but only some apps are on SD).
Recently I have problem with apps/games that become corrupted after a while and dont know whats going on with the phone.
In Manage Applications some of the apps/games become greyed out and displayed 0 kb. Even I uninstalled all those greyed out apps and after a reboot. They come back again in manage applications.
What can causing those corrupted apps/games?
Mine phone are rooted + cwm and stock Nordic ROM.
had you used anything like apps2sd to move the apps to/from the sd card?
ive had it happen on my old hd2 but this was due to a failed retore from a backup and apps not being linked in correctly

No, never used any app2sd before and never move any app/game to mine external sd either.
Even I reinstalled all those greyed out at manage applications and uninstall it directly. After reboot, it still there and I just dont know whats happening.
Ex, I installed tip off basketball game from market, play it for few minutes and after a moment. The game get corrupted and displayed as 0kb greyed out.
That apps dispalyed as SD in screenshot means, thay are installed on internal memory SD and not external_sd location.
Any got a clue whats going on?
possibly a corrupt system, might want to back it up and wipe it clean
