Hello fellow members on xda, I have a problem and the problem is that I can not install my ubisoft game called Backstab. I bought it on my galaxy tab 7 " and it works fine. After I installed the game on my optimus 2x i need to download the rest of the game, and this is where the problem starts.
It says I have not enough space, even tough i do have enough space.. Which is really strange.. It says i need 720mb and i got 1gb space free on sdcard and 5gb free on internal card.
One thing i noticed when i changed from stock to cm7 is that my old pictures is still in the phone but in a hidden map...maybe it wants to install there? Also o2x should have 8gb internal on my storage menu it says its 5gb.. Any help would be appreciated
5GB is correct, the 8GB also includes /system, /data etc.
Also it's not hidden on CM, you'll find it at /mnt/emmc
I would free up more space on the external card and try again.

Hello Everyone, I was hoping someone could tell me if there was a quick fix or if I need to do a reinstall & add something that I didn't add.
I noticed today, my phone telling me it is running low on space & when I checked, it said I only had 9 megs left on the phone memory, however it did show I still had 465 megs on the secondary sd memory free.
I decided to try & install an app to see if the sd memory would go down or the phone memory. Well, the phone memory went down, but not the sd secondary.
I'm looking at the storage & unmount sd card & format sd card are "grayed out"
I also do have a \system\apps folder with some apps, along with the same one under \sd card\system\apps which that also has some apps.
Is there something I can do that can fix this? Or something else I need to check?
The only thing that I didn't do originally was create a swap partition.
Thanks
i believe if u reboot your phone all apps get thrown into ext partition. also try using cachemate , that will free up tons of space on your phone

If you want to have your apps on your sd card then you need an ext partition. You cannot currently house your apps on your sdcard.
Hi.
Im running miui rom in my optimus 2x.
I have 3 options to storge.
Phone storage about 1 gb
Sd card storge about 5 gb
And external sd card about 16 gb
The problem is that basically i cant use the external sd card for apps and games,
i try all the move to sd card apps on market and all of tham only move from my phone storage to my sd card, so basically i only have 6gb in my phone.
Is there anyway to move tham to my external??
Tnx.
hmmmmm...
on cm you have an option to do so (settings/cyanogenmod/applications/use external sd for media)
but i don't know if miui has it too. Try looking for something like that
I looked everywhere, there isnt an option like this.
If you don't mind me asking, are you really out of storage to install apps?
Because o2x has an app storage space of 1.5gb excluding the internal 5gb flash memory, and most heavy games will store their game data on the 5gb internal flash mem, and only the basic apk will resides on the app space.
Running out of storage space is really hard achieve since even the heaviest game only consumes like 100mb? Which is mostly stored in the 5gb space. Unless you have hundreds of high end games installed, then you can run out of space .
All the new games need to download between 400-900 mb each, so yeah i runnig out of storge
Alright then, my mistake.
Anyway, I read that to swap sdcard as _externalSD vice versa is via CM7, I am not really sure how because I'm not using it, but I definately read about it before and it is doable. Hopefully someone can help you on the how..
Cheers!
there is a script for miui to swap so your microsd to become /sdcard check the android development

Tnx alot, that fix my problems.
I used to use i&f 4 rom, but I switched over to thefroyomod 2.9.3 BUT my 80+ apps werent detected so I went back, made list, and started painstakingly installing all apps BUT I ran outta space on my internal memory, even though I still have 160+ mb on my ext partition(verified using free space by krikun)
Please help
Before you ask, I have a 4gb class 2 card with 500mb ext partition
I am going to switch to my incredibly cheap 8gb class4 card with 1gb ext partition but dont want to know that I wont be able to install more than 70 apps
Hello All,
I have a new Xperia Z and have rooted it. Locked bootloader.
The trouble is that everything wants to go on the internal storage (which only has like 9gb left).
Nothing seems to install tot he external SD card. No option in the APPS section to move it either.
I tried using some Move2SD apps, but either they say there isn't an external storage or it's emulated.
So what can I do? I can't even download a small file currently because now my phone keeps saying that there
isn't sufficient space available. Which just isn't possible. I have like 25gb on the SD card and 9gp on the
cell internal. Something isn't quite working right I think.
Thanks for any help.

I have the same problem with my sony xperia L39u
Hi everyone.
There's no forum for the Galaxy Exhibit, and everyone posts about it here due to similar hardware. I have 7gb free of storage space on my ext4, and 1 gig free on my internal storage, but updating my apps, I get the Insufficient Storage error. Anyone know what to do? I literally just bought a 32gb SD card so I could have more app space

What works on my S3 Mini is I do a nandroid backup, wipe everything from recovery and then restore my backup. It seems that this way all unnessecary files left from updates are cleared and now there's no more "insufficient space" error Hope I helped!
