[Q] Orphaned apps - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know of an application that will search your phone for Orphaned Applications? I.E. Applications that were not uninstalled before updating the firmware, I think these will still be on the internal SD.
Don't want to format unless absolutely necessary.

[Q] What can I delete from internal memory?

I have a I9000M and would like to know what I can delete from the 16Gig internal storage. I am not the original owner and do not want to remove anything that is required for the continued function on of the phone (like a system file or some such).
I ask because I accidentally soft bricked it yesterday and it scared the poop out of me.
If you are talking about the Storage you see when mount it to a computer (the /sdcard directory), then there is nothing crucial, for the phone's functionality, there.... Meaning that if you erase sth from there, this poses no danger to the system itself but some apps. Some apps store data there, like Astro FileManager,for example,which stores its thumbnail database (astro.db file), Titanium Backup, Google TTS etc.
OK, good to know.
Thanks.

[Q] Corrupted filesystem or what?

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

Why can't I update apps due to insufficient storage space when there is in fact space

Right now it's the Facebook app, but many other apps have not and will not be able to update, despite the 236mb still available on the internal storage.
I tried removing apps I can live without, clearing cache (manually and with apps that do this) removing backups etc, but nothing worked.
Any ideas?
If you are rooted. Use file explorer and go to system/data/log folder and delete logs with similiar name with cpsilentreset. These logs are not neede but takes up space.

The list of apps I am not able to get updates for
Google Chrome
Google Drive

are you sure that this free space is for internal memory and not for the sdcard ? because Sony is known to basically place everything in the internal memory, as it's considered as sdcard0. sdcard1 is the true external memory
Can you show me a screen shot of your storage? Inside the settings
since you're rooted, I advice you to remove chrome, gmail, youtube and drive from the system/app directory, then do regular installations. this will save some memory and will be stored in the data/app dir

Note 3 Internal memory apps issue

Hey all,
Phone info: AT&T Note 3 on T-Mobile network. Android 4.4.2. Baseband N900AUCUCNC2. Phone is rooted, and carrier unlocked. I have busybox and xposed framework.
This is the first time I have not been able to find the solution to my problem using the forums. I have been searching through threads, but I haven't been able to find anyone who has had the same errors. Apps that are on the internal memory (kindle, adw, ePSXe, file manager, Titanium Backup, SNES9x EX+) are not working correctly. Kindle crashes on open, SNES can no longer save game state, ePSXe cant save game state, File manager cant move files from internal to SD, ADW cant create backups or find the ones it made before, and Titanium Backup cant find my backups, create new ones, or do anything really. All of these issues started yesterday. The newest applications on my phone are ePSXe and Every BIOS, but before I got ePSXe to work, I tried FPSE which failed to download the plug-ins everytime it started. It's not creating any massive system errors, but it is annoying as hell that I cant use any of these apps properly. And ADW not working means I'm using TouchWiz which I hate. I ran a system scan using Avast and it found no viruses.
I am convinced it is a permissions issue on the internal memory since all my SD based apps work fine. And I can use the apps on my internal memory still (SNES9x for example works file to run the ROMs, but the ROMs are located on the external SD, saves do not work at all). I tried fixing permissions in TWRP recovery but nothing improved. Also tried clearing cache in TWRP and nothing improved. Any and all advice that you can dispense would be greatly appreciated.
FIXED
Well, I found a solution. The problem was, in fact, that the internal memory did not have write permissions on the SD. Fixing it by editing permissions.xml worked after I also did a dalvik cache.
