Not able to install in Memory card

Hi all i tried to search for an answer and couldnt find it. please help me. Whenever i install any apps it always gets installed in main memory even if i select the memory card as the destination. What is the issue here?
Does your device see your memory card at all? What ROM are you running? Is this something that happened suddenly or has it always been this way? I am sure it can be figured out. Kevin
Also, what type of apps are you trying to install? Some apps will force their way to the main memory as they can't be run off the storage card.

I have the stock 6.1 A&T ROM. i tried to install the touch GLO 3d and all the apps i tried to install as prt of that are going to main memory. Probably as you said it might have been the forced to install in the main memory.
There's no way in the world you can run that off the storage card Usually, anything that goes on the today screen is highly recommend to be installed on the main memory so that it boots correctly.

Phone Memory totally depreciated

GTP100 Rooted I'm using Install Manager, Android Assistant, Quick application Manage and Root explorer to shift all my application from the phone to the SD card unfortunately I figured out that I have only 200 MB remaining in my phone memory ! Only 4 programs installed on there and the remaining on the SD card as it shows I start searching to figure out the problem using root explorer I found the root
Phone Memory/mnt/asec/secure/asec - 990 MB so I tried to move it to the SD card but once moved it will return back again to the same path!! Even if I tried to delete it will remain the same! also I found another root phone/mnt/asec -670 MB which has almost the same applications by all means using root explorer I cut& paste the first root to the SD card and reboot then only the installed programs in phone works and the other application icons disappeared I was shocked cause even trying to backup my mistake was a hectic work, by all means its again as it was and still facing the same problem any help

[Q] Cannot download files to internal SD in Mass Storage mode.

I'm running stock Android 2.2 and just rooted my phone yesterday. Since rooting my phone, I've had the following issues:
Cannot create a new folder on internal SD card ("The file '<%1 NULL:NameDest>' is too large for the destination file system") from computer while in mass storage mode (I can in media player mode)
Cannot copy/move files to internal SD card while in mass storage mode (I can in media player mode)
Cannot download from browser to phone using computer (I tried downloading an apk file from xda but it just kept trying to download.
Cannot download from mobile phone browser ("Cannot download. The content is not supported on the phone")
That's all I can think of for now, but you get the idea. I think it might have to do with the fact that I didn't unmount the internal SD card before rooting my phone (I don't think there's a way, but perhaps I rushed).
Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks in advance
Edit: It only affects the internal SD card. I put an external SD into it and it works fine.
I've been having pretty much the same issue since day one with this phone. While in Mass Storage, I cannot transfer files onto my phone. I can create/delete folders in the file tree though.
I would greatly appreciate any information you folks can come up with.
I have the same issues on a china-phone running 4.4.2 , is there any solution to this?
Also apart from these, but i think is due to the same bigger problem, i have some random issues with the gallery: it fails to load some images and it crashes.
Bluetooth transfer fails due to storage issues, yet i have some gbs free (internal or phone), and the files are just mbs.
I cannot copy some files from my phone to my pc, it keeps showing some errors (which appear to be due to FAT-FAT32 format, but in reallty i have no clue).
My phone is rooted, but it seems like i have no rights over the storage control... and that makes me real sad.
Any suggestions?

It's hard to help/support a phone we don't know about. What device do you have exactly? Which root did you use? Also, FAT32 isn't supported by quite a few devices, I would suggest using a different format.
I have an Mpie t6s, which i believe is kinda new cause i haven't been able to find anything on the net.
I have failed to create a backup due to "task ended with error" from MTKDroidtools, and i was trying to find a rom that works. I couldn't.
So now, i have it with the rom of a similar model, mpie 909t, but the problems remain.
I have sort-of realized that the gallery issue was created because i didn't ejected the drive from My Computer (yea, it has Mass Storage, and MTP, and camera mode when i connect it to PC.
I read that 4.4.2 and mass storage are not compatible, and it came to me.
I rooted it with iRoot that was the only that worked.
I removed all the Chinese &(@$^ but i kept iRoot's Superuser because i thought that with SuperSU all the problems where returning (that was before i realized the issue with mass storage and safe remove).

So i came to realise that the internal sd is 69MB (after i repartitioned it and made 2.5gb the interal for apks), so i think this is the main problem!
Formating via windows showed me that size, at first i thought it was something wrong (everywhere else in win the size was 29 GB) but now i manage to deal with that.
Prefer that than an always crashing phone.
ExtSD to the rescue!

[Q] Gallery - not enough memory

HI, first of all thank you for a great forum that i have visited a lot of times the last 5 years.
I have one major problem with my samsung galaxy note. I can't run gallery because then i get 'not enough memory, Delete some items'.
If I start camera and then click on one image gallery starts without any problems.
Storage on my note:
SD Card: Available 11,40 GB
USB storage: 0
System memory: 1,47 GB
Please tell me how to fix this. I have tried a few memory optimizer apps from the marked but nothing...
Regards
Noeinstein
After 2-3 days of experimenting and studying loads of internet posts I finally managed to solve this problem:
Your Gallery needs space on ur internal SD-Card to work, even if you store all ur videos and photos on the external SD-Card. And as you posted there is 0 kB Space on your USB-Storage and thats the point.
Go to Menu - Own Files and find the largest Files and Folders. Now you have to find out, which Files may be deleted. For example I deleted Game Folders that took up to 0.5 GB and also deleted some old BackUp Files of CWM.
Be careful with this deleting and watch out not to delete any system relevant files!
I did not deleted them but moved them to my external SD-Card so I could move them back if my Android would be messed up afterwards.
I hope this helped you and others!
as said it more than likely because you have no free space on your internal memory, free some up and im sure it will start working
Hi everyone,
I have issued the same problem newly on these days with my SGN. But on the contrary, when I look at my storage levels:
Storage Name: Used / Total
System storage: 0.92GB / 1.97GB
USB storage: 1.42GB/11.07GB
SD card: 8.00GB/14.89GB
I'm using Android version 4.1.2 with N7000XLSA Baseband and the device is rooted. I have deleted some files to free up more space in internal SD (which is denoted as sdcard0 in JB) but it seems that it didnt work out, because the problem continues. Am I doing smthg wrong or is there another solution or workaround for this?
Regards,
Same problem here
I have same problem. Almost same memory usage. I mean lots of megabytes exist on every unit (phone, phone sd, ex t sd)
But cannot open gallery, s note, etc with same "not enough memory" message.
N7000/4.0.4
Just clear cache from in gallery app from settings>application and reboot. Also you need some minimum space in your internal sd storage. Also do not install unnecessary apps. Try to uninstall the apps that you don't use. Some apps tend to use more ram & storage.

[Q] how get back SD card (default internal) faria's rom

using [ROMS][JZ054K.I8190.XXAMA1][4.1.2-Jelly-bean] [26.01.2013] V5.1
(and on leatherfaces rom v2 too btw)
i have my external memory card seen by the phone as the internal sdcard.
also, in root folder, there is /sdcard, not sdcard0. i do not remember if this is the same as default, or that also in root it should be /sdcard0.
anyway,
how can i have sdcard (internal partition) function like before? because now i dont have the 4 gb.
without extsdcard, my phone uses 2 folders, and sees them as 4,5gb MAX.
FROM ROOT: according to diskinfo and link2sd (inactive, just for info). My folder setup is like this:
it sais internal sd is fused (sd:fuse). i dont know f that cuold be the culprit/cause?
1: /mnt/asac/
2: /data/app/
My folder setup is like this, since leatherface rom v2.
Since then i flashed it again, and also now fahrias rom. i have done many wipes before, inbetween and after flashing.
Still missing sdcard.
It sais internal sd is fused (sd:fuse). i dont know f that cuold be the culprit/cause?
Also, when i install apps, they get installed to 1, or 2. /Data/app/ (2) is seen as sd, but houses most user installed apps.
So my external sd is not used for installing.
Since i only have 4,5 gb according to the phone, it is full faster then the original 4 gb.
Also /cache is stuck at 14MB. changing (slightly!) how it gets used, and using lots off apps doenst change a thing in its use /mb.
besides that i have:
/obb 401 empty mb
/asec/ 402 empty (but apps are installed on it, using theire own partition! for instance, google partition of 30mb, titanium backup pro MB, and so on for every app.
And some more empty partitions of 401 or 402 mb.
finally: data, is used and is 4,5 mb.
so i dont know, either internal (meaning the original default internal) partition, is hidden and not used. and thats why i see 4,5 gb internal.
it is actually sdcard0 originally?
i read allot on this forum, for weeks on end now. i flashed many roms, had more problems then 1 and got them solved by searching on this forum.
i found some articles about this problem, but it doesnt solve my question of how i should see this.
and btw thanks to all posters
thanks to al, i have used this forum allot! and i'd like to contribute where i can from now on. my experience is limited, but ive survived plenty of hard errors, to be of some use maybe.
question above remains though,
how can i get it back (internal sd, showing full 2x 4gb, and as 3rd, external).
so i now have: internal 4,5gb
external (my external sd card) 16gb.
i really would like to know how to get back, showing all 3 like default.
any info needed please ask, i dont know what to say more without someone telling me!?
additional:
after further reading, i learned that the "fuse" means that internal en sdcard0 are fused as 1, combined as max memory.
so that would be ok, but the problem is that it should be more then 4,5gb? normally 2x4gb!?
offcourse internal (default stock version), is filled and used up t a degree. even with 3,5 gb used as internal and hidden.
questions left:
-i still have 3 partitions of 400 mb not used. this cuold be normal?for instance: partition /obb 402mb free 0 used.
- my external card is not working as externalsd. cant install on it. not even after selecting it as default install partition.
- i have seen threads about how to use external sd. but it involves steps seemingly already done in fahria's rom (which is installed on my phone).
i can do those steps, but i dont want to do anything wrong , and i dont kow where to begin.
so goal now = hwo to use real external sd card as normal install folder?
best, to be able to use both as install folder.
when i try that now i get the messages: theres no room or acces denied
update:
i already tried clearing dalvik cache, wiping offline (with odin), and in boot recovery, many times.
the phone works, but i can only install on internal, fused memory. which is only 4,5 gb total.
questions remain:
1: is 4,5Gb combined max/ free space normal for faria rom v5.1 flashed? i thought i had more on default phone.
2: /obb and 3 othr 402 mbyte partitions are completely empty and are totally unused. not even emty files or directories!
can i somehow reclaim that space as nomal memory?
3: can i unfuse sdcard? i see an option in user.init (i dont change anything without having read and understanding wwhat it does).
now: fuse sdcard = true.
*i cant ask this in the thread of this rom, i am too new as forum member;
so thats why i post it here.
