Just upgraded my firmware to Cyan ROM - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

device is full

I try to download something to my g1 it doesn't download... I run recovery jf mode is says deivce is full and can't create recovery.log.
Is their a way to clean my interal g1 phone to create space and still work fine
Delete some apps and maybe read up on Apps 2 SD
I did still not working
I guess your only choice is to upgrade to CyanogenMod ROM Auto a2sd, but only if you have the card partitioned.
EDIT-I'm sure theres a way to fix it but update!!!

do u have h's spl. its been said that it frees up more space on the internal memory. also like someone else said c's rom has auto apps to sd. also move the dalvik to creates more space.
I have CM rom I have .19.26I radio and h's radio. I am still having the same problem
how much free space is your phone showing in settings? if theres ample space, then the problem lies elsewhere, not with how much storage space there is. this problem has occurred to people with more than 70mb of free space on their phone
That is exactly the problem. I have space to download apps but it says no space on device.... what sholud I do????

im looking for a solution, but in the mean time, try flashing the ROM again (dont wipe)

need help with apps2sd on Fresh rom

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?

internal memory issue

this has probably been asked already.
i have a g1 with cyan5.0.7.3 followed the instructions exactly as they say and my internal memory wont drop below 34mb. when i had cyan4.XXX it stayed about 8. ive asked 2 other people with g1 what theirs is and its below 10. i have repeatedly flashed, wiped, wiped, flashed but to no avail. can someone please help me here. i have already checked the apps2sd so i know thats not the problem.

what? you want your internal memory to be lower...? then take apps2sd off?
are you saying apps2sd is what is taking the room up?and how would a person take it off

I think he means the reverse of what he said... that it USED 8MB with the older version and now USES 34 with the new version.
The reason for this is simple: The newer version of android is BIGGER.
Get used to it.
heres your answer: all your apps are internal by default, you must go to manage applications, and check apps2sd inorder to have new apps installed to there.
For apps already installed, go to where you see installed apps, click on what ever app you want on sd rather than internal, click on "move"
I dont c why you would rather have apps on sd if you are not short on memory though as it is much quicker internal.
This all has to do with the new apps2sd system in CM5 and new roms

Notification says i'm low on storage. I should have 1gb left

I keep getting a persistant low storage notification. It persists even after switching roms as soon as I restore all of my apps. In settings it shows that I have about 1 gb free. However, many of my apps are on the sd card and the phone will not allow me to move them to primary storage because it says I don't have any free storage on the device.
What's going on here? How can I fix it?
Are you on CM7 or 9? Both of these put their application data in a smaller partition than the Samsung ROMs for speed reasons, but you can run out of space much more easily. Download a cache cleaner from the market, clear out all of your application caches, and see if that resolves the issue.
Also, move movable apps to sd card

I believe AOSP ROMs are the same. Clear caches and move apps to SD.

I'm getting the same message just recently and I too have over 1 gb phone storage left... so is this number wrong? I understand what u mean about apps on smaller partition but does that mean it actually smaller then the 2gb space? I'm on cm9. Sgsics 4.0.3 rc 4.2
So even though I have over 1.2 gb of phone storage left and over 8 gb of USB storage left I should still be installing on ext SD? And or cache cleaner? Is there way to find out how much app storage space I get on these roms? I'm only using 743mb thus far. Does this mean I will run out soon even though it says I have lots of room left?
Thanks

As I understand it, it's not that it is a wrong number so much as an incomplete one. The apps are installed there, but their cache, settings, databases, etc actually live in data/data for performance reasons. This is the partition that is actually full. You can check the available space with a terminal emulator by typing "df datadata" (without the quotes, of course."
This is why clearing app caches usually helps.

Hi i have the same problem. I have 1,5 GB free for the internal storage but running "df datadata" command reveal partition seized 172 MB used 161 MB free 10MB ...
How can i fix this? I also have 32GB SD card completely FREE
I moved some apps to SD card but that does not free up space. Is there a way to resize this partition?

Rooted my phone, moved apps to sd card, dumped dalvik cache, but still full memory...

Hey every one,
Yesterday i rooted my phone using superoneclick (running android 2.2.1) because i was getting sick of the fact that my memory was running full.
After that i did this:
Deleted facebook to make space for link2sd (have no seccond partition)
Installed link2sd,
Moved apps to sd.
Installed facebook on sd,
Go with my root file manager into /data/dalvik-cache/ and deleted everything inside there (50 mb) but after rebooting my phone the memory starts filling itself again and my dalvik cache was full again.
What can i do to make my memory free? Im havin 12 mb free now, but thats not enoug....
And also, is it safe to move apps like calander to sd?
Thanks, domini99

Oow... Damn...
Where does it have to be?
general section, open the new thread there
soon it will be closed
as you are saying you have root then download a2sd froyo root open the app select the data storage as external then you can move almost all apps to external memory but it will also not leave many storage for you I will recommend you to first upgrade to gingerbread then partition your sdcard and use link2sd
First a question: can i go furder from herr or do i have to close this topic? Thanks!
;25189739 said:
...?!? you have deleted all dalvik-cache?!? First: the data of apps are in system/data/data then you not must touch the dalvik-cache, second: use install manager for move the apps on sdcard and not link2sd, install manager is better, third: you can move only the apps (apk) on sdcard but the data remain on internal memory then also if you install all in sdcard the internal memory it lowers, the only way for move all (apk+data) on sdcard is do a partition, without the partition you not can move also the data but only the apk, then for you now the only way for get more free memory is uninstall all useless apps.

Ooh. Eeerm.... Yeaaah... Well, see. Im not the smartest here...
Oke, i looked into data/data and therr was a lot of junk in from apps i already uninstalled, almost 10 mb! I deleted that and deleted dalvik, than rebooted and now 154 mb free!!!
I installed install manager, but.. What do i need to do with it? Link 2 sd i used to set install location and moved some apps. That did a lot for me. I always wanted a game, but that was 50 mb, and that will never fitt on the internel memory, but it only could on internel, now its on sd, and working great
Thanks for reply, im already helped that far to know how to take care of my memory.
But its still fine if someone can give me some tips, im brand new to root and i understand only 10% of everything....
Thanks

Titanium Backup FTW!!!
So, I used titanium backup to move some things from the internal memory to the sd card. It worked fine as now I have about 20-30 mb free on internal. and this is good.
Also, a 2 Gb sd card is ok, but a larger one would be perfect . I have a 2 Gb now and I'll need a larger one soon ).
Also I uninstalled all useless apps like: Facebook, Twitter etc ) All useless social apps, the park is much better also the school.
That's all I know. Hope it helps u somehow.
I have also internal memory so full (about 20mb free)

If you want keep using your stock rom you can use Doc_cheilvenerdi.org boot.img that can change our sams mount partition /data to sdext. :good:
Meeeh, stock rom sucks and is slow. I prefer cyanogenmod 7.2
