Hey folks!
Anyone knows how to solve the following problem?
The Galaxy S3 Mini seems to have more than enough storage left, but is not able to update or (re-)install some apps.
Installing new apps mostly works, but deleting and reinstalling apps seems to be impossible.
Already tried the following:
- Wiped cache, dalvik cache
- Tried several Apps for cleaning caches and data
- Setup Link2SD (due to Samsungs emulated SD) formatted and partionated the external SD and linked most of the Apps to SD
It seems to be possible to download an .APK-file manually and drop them into the system-app folders - the app gets recognized and runs - but this is really difficult to do with all apps.
Any suggestions?
P.S.: I've attached several screenshots.

Does this problem only happen if you download apps from Google play or also if you install apps manual as apk file?
Passiert dies nur wenn du spiele von Google play heruterladest oder auch wenn du sie manuell installiertst?

I had similar issue. Problem was with Link2SD app and with second partition on external card.

Wouldn't deleting the contents of /data also remove system files?

The problem existed before installing Link2SD and creating a second partition on the external SD.

No this will not remove your system files only the /data folder. All third-party apps (apps that you installed by you) are saved there. It means only your apps will deleted not your musics, pictures etc.
Do a backup before you doing this!
Nein deine system Daten werden nicht gelöscht nur das /data Ordner wird gelöscht. Dort sind deine dritt anbieter apps (also apps die du installiert hast) gespeichert. Das bedeutet nur deine apps werden gelöscht und nicht deine Musik Bilder usw.
Leg dir ein backup an bevor du dies machst!

Problem solved.
Tweaked several things using adb command line to regain full access rights to system-app folder, and reinstalling Android Market.
There's an easier way of doing this. You guys are making the problem more difficult. Just delete the appdata folder of the app you want to reinstall/update located at /data/app-lib

Hope I helped you! If I did , then why not press that Thanks button under my post...
Hello Nerdworld,
I'm going to try making this as clear as possible.
The easiest way to solve this is by restoring your device back to factory defaults in Clockworkmod or any other recovery as this should clear out all corrupted files / files causing problem from your data folder, but beware that it deletes absolutely every app on your phone, and all of your data which are not stored on the sdcard. When you've done that, go to the root of your sdcard and delete the android_secure folder and the android folder, as they contain data related to apps and so and might cause issues.
Be aware of that backing up all data is advised, as you will loose all info which are not stored on your sdcard and you will have to reinstall all apps.

Hi Diamondianer,
@1.sorry for my bad english.
a simple question,
when the Diamond crashed and need to be a hardreset!
what going on with my files on the 4giga storage, is this a secured section !!
noch mal auf deutsch.
simple frage,
wenn der diamond abstürtzt und zB. einen Hardreset brauch,
sind meine gespeichertendaten gelöscht !
oder ist das ein abgeschirmter bereich !
Hard Reset
Your files are safe
a hard reset will NOT clear your 4GB drive
Das 4 GB Internal Flash verhält sich genau wie eine Speicherkarte und wird auch vom Diamond-OS so behandelt, d.h. es bleibt auch nach einem Hardreset und sogar nach einem Reflash erhalten.
The 4GB Internal Flash behaves exactly like a storage card and it is treated like that by the Diamond OS. So it´ll remain intact after a hard reset and even after flashing the device.
cool,
many thx for the answer, danke für die antwort
hard reset will only put the ram into it's orinital state
without clearing the 4Gb Rom
if you want to format the 4Gb of flash rom
"clear storage" will give option
clear only ram or both.
It's more or less one month that I have the SlimICS ROM installed on my phone and I never had any problem, but this morning suddently every time I try to install a new app, appear a message telling me that it's impossible to install the apk, and I have to free some space, but I have 600mb free.
How can I fix this issue?
thnx
Go to Settings --> Apps
Sort apps by size and move every (excluding widgets and root apps) app/game to sdcard.
Then restart phone to recovery, wipe cache, dalvik-cache, fix permissions and reboot to Android and check after few minutes if this helped.
I think your app-partition is full. Moving some apps to sd will fix your problem

Hi there,
I would like to have access to the internal or external sd memory while being in CWM 6.0.3.1 from my Windows 8 PC.
Of course I know, that I have to mount and... but no access to the sd.
I have tried different drivers from everywhere, but if my phone is in CMW, the device manager is telling me, that there is no driver installed.
Can someone hellp me?
Thx!

You can try Total Comander with ADB plugin, in CWM you have to mount external SD to get access.
To work in sytem folder you can mount it too. Internal Storage is found in "sdcard", not "internal_sd"...
You also can move/delete/edit files and set permissions with correct configured plugin...
I use it on Win7 64 Bit and: :good: (Quasi Schweizer Taschenmeser, kommt ja auch daher... )
CWM

Are you sure, that you can connect Total Commander to your phone being in CWM? Or is it possible, that I have a driver problem?
Screenshots were made while device was in CWM...
Try to install ADB driver and it will work

Hmm, maybe I'm stupid, but which Drivers, or where can I download them?
Sorry and thx in advance.
Rightklick on the highligted device in your screenshot, chose driver actualisation, but search manuel for it. Android composit ADB driver will work.
The driver you need is allready on your PC. No need for download something special...

I will try, thank you very much!
i guess you're not only using CWM but the CM nightlies too! well in that case every user had that problem. so in that case u'll have to format your system cache and internal SD by CWM then install the CM. but don't do it as i say. go read some more detailed instructions for that.
Hello everyone,
I installed CM10.2 (latest nightly) and so far it's been good : much smoother system.
But when i tried to backup my apps+data, TB restore process was stuck to 0%.
I enabled root access for ABD and app which should have solved the root problem but seems like it is not the case.
I reverted to CM10.1 but anyone did a successfull backup with TB on CM10.2 ?
had the same problem. however i managed to get titanium backup 6.0.3.1 working with no bugs. with the current version 6.1 restoring apps stucks at 0%

Ok I'm going to try 6.0.3.1 to see if it is working. Thanks for the tip !

you gotta change your tb backup folder to data/media/legacy/titaniumbackup, instead of data/media/0/titanium backup. it will work then

I can't set it to this folder. I go to root folder and choose data, but TB just says that the catalog is not available.
and my standard cataloge is Storage/emulated/o/titaniumbackup not data/media/0/titanium backup

storage/emulated is just emulated storage for internal sd card, real folder is data/media
try setting storage/emulated/legacy/titaniumbackup. you should be able to access data/media with root acces given to tb, so i dunno why it doesnt work.
Hi Community,
Since I upgraded from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1, I have some issues with file deletions on my external SD Card.
- If I delete a file on my external SD card using ES File Explorer or Solid Explorer, the file is deleted, but the space that comes free after the deletion isn't cleared. (yes, I do refresh) To check how much free space there is, I use apps like DiskUsage or ES File Explorer. In DiskUsage, it says that the space (from the file I deleted) is "system data".
When I unmount and mount again the SD-card, then this "system data" is cleared, and the free space has grown with the size of the deleted file.
Important to know: no Recycle Bin is activated, so that could not be the cause.
- If I delete a file on my external SD card using stock app "My Files", there is no problem: total free space grows directly with the size of the deleted file. (without I have to unmount / mount)
=> Is this normal?
Do you have recycle bin enabled in es ?
No. recycle bin is disabled. That's why I don't understand.
I just formatted the SD card again, but it keeps having the same problem.
I will try with another SD card, but it's strange this started just after the upgrade to android 6.
Problem solved: downgraded to 5.1.1 and no issues anymore.
Hopefully issue will be solved on next 6.0.1 update.
I'm facing the same issue - using Xplore file manager. Pain in the ass.

Knowing that this is Samsung a new update is far into the future - if there is any. I'd rather not call a downgrade to 5.1.1 a solution.
