Is there any way to stop play store from updating to latest version be oz old version is fine for me also stopping and clearing cache but n luck
Hi Nasir..
the lack of space for applications after installing MIUI ICS has been driving me crazy. The latest ROMS for MIUI should have Apps2SD already installed. Here is a link to a comment in the MIUI thread in how to install it..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22503462&highlight=apps2sd#post22503462
Now that being said.. It works great BUT even with the apps now going to the SD card, Android still reports the disk size wrong meaning you will get insufficient disk space errors even though you actually have a ton of space to install.
Here is an Article by TexasIce explaining Apps2SD and its command lines.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21222591&postcount=1374
He states in there that running 'install' does move it to the SD card and even shows you how to make sure BUT he states that Android will still report the wrong disk space. I followed his steps and verified that my Apps folder was now on the SD card but my phone was still telling me I only had 30mb left and kept running out of space when trying to update Dropbox and Google Maps.
But further down he talks about the xdata command you can use. If you use it, it will actually begin to report your data size correctly allowing you to update and install more applications. Its experimental and it could cause some slow downs on your phone but I was desperate at this point. I ran it and it rebooted my phone (took a bit longer than usual) but the Android System is now reporting the correct amount of free space and I was able to update my apps and still have a ton of space left.
Try Mount2SD

Thanks I learn much about working of a2sd also a big problem of having much space but saying no space available is also solved thanks for helping me.....

It seems that whenever I install application updates for my installed applications the ram, or internal storage is consumed, until the point that all is used and doesn't allow me to download more updates, nor install more applications. Moving some applications to SD just leads to the same result: the ram is eventually saturated again.
And it seems to happen either with stock rom and Cyanogenmod. I'm with CM right now.
What a friend did was uninstalling all apps, leave those really useful and avoiding updates at all, but I don't think that as a solution.
What can I do? Thanks.
Try using scripts like Cronmod to increase your internal memory by creating an ext partition in your SD card. That should solve it. Here is the link
[SCRIPTS]CronMod-INT2EXT
What I tried to mean is, why are updates consuming always additional amounts of ram? Aren't they supposed to work by replacing old files with new ones?
First of all what your are talking about is storage, not RAM.
And in most of the cases it doesnt need more storage. The reason why it's consuming more is because it downloads the whole application and then replace the old apk. After a reboot you'll have your old amount of storage.

In most cases it doesn't need more storage...
I tried what you suggested, and I seem to have my free storage again, or almost. After updating my apps and rebooting I have about 2 extra Mb consumed. Is it common?
Hello everyone!
I flashed my XZR from Kitkat to Lollipop a view days ago.
After flashing I had 1 GB lower internal memory left, than a had before.
In detail, I had about 2 GB of memory left, when I started the download over OTA. The file loaded on my XZR and than it flashed. After end of flashing and reboot, only 800 MB to 1 GB internal memory are free now.
Could it be, that lollipop need 1 GB more internal memory as kitkat? I am confused now, cause I need more space in internal memory.
What happend and what can I do?
Greetings Lemmi.
Yes, lollipop needs more internal memory. Because lollipop is ART based, kitkat was Dalvik...
But 1GB, that is very much cause of only 8GB internal storage.
Try moving the apps to your SD. That's why I did to free up space from the internal storage.

Yes I tryed this already, but it dont helps much. Maybe I have to change to another smartphone with more than only 8 GB of internal memory.
Dont wanna go back to Kitkat, cause I think Lollipop runs smoother and better.
Think about rooting, but I think not everything works well right now on XZR and Lollipop with root and maybe there is no working recovery for it and the secong is I dont wanna open bootloader.
Maybe Link2SD could work and solve this storage problem. Aktually the app2sd function isnt enough on my side.

I have now installed about 100 apps (phone say it took 4,39GB - 900MB Free). After 60 apps installed phone say full storage, so i try scan by Xplore and I find in root folder one rly big folder. That folder is /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache that I deleted and get around 1500MB of space. Seems to be some like thrash from Google Play Store. Root needed.
Ok, that helps me a lot. I will go on and root my XZR again. Think it is simple.
And by the way I read in your signatur that you have root and no recovery.
Here is the way to get a working recovery:

I will try it out, when I have root, but I think it will work!

yea i know this but in Z forum some1 try this method and said didn't work, also on official thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606&page=518 of XZDualRecovery is reported as no working. So keep waiting
All you need is Link2SD, I have a lot of apps installed on my phone, yet I still have over 2GB of free memory left
Do link2sd really work with our xperia zr? Cause on 4.4.4 we must do a workaround, cause if dont you end in a bootloop.
Can I use it without any problems on Lollipop now? I will try it, but it could be better, when I know problems before they happen
An how big you make the sdext partition on sdcard?
Just tried FolderMount for ColorDict and Telegram and both work fine.

There's no need for any workaround. I have an 8GB SD card (I don't know its class right now, doesn't matter), and I've split it 5 - 2:
-5GB for the sdcard1 partition,
-2,2GB for the sdext partition, which the Link2SD app uses.
There is a guide that tells you how to format your SD card right, the best way is via the MiniTool Partition Wizard.
If you've selected ext2 in that app, you want to select EXT4 in Link2SD. That way, when you reboot, everything will be fine.
This is because I've seen many bugs when it comes to creating mount scripts - you select ext2, but when you reboot, nothing happens.
Ok, good news.
I knew link2sd well from my old smartphone.
But I always formated the sdext partition with ext4 and normaly it worked. Hope so here too, cause it may be faster.
My SD is about 32 GB, so I can make a bigger partiton. But I think 2 GB should be best.

So do I. The guys at the Xperia M section helped me out a lot with Link2SD
Right now I had made a sdext partition of 2 GB and formated it 4ext.
After starting link2sd and setting mountscript to 4ext I get a bootloop Dont work!
Think I need a fix or a new remount boot fix for XZR. Think the old for kitkat will not work or will it?
Hello people.
Just updated my ZR to lollipop, yet I am suffering form the lack of internal storage, moving apps to my 64gb SD card seems useless, it refuses to transfer large data files to the SD card, like OALD 8 have a 450 mb data file that needed to be placed in the internal storage.
the ZR is really nice fast device but it`s internal storage is so horrible that makes you think seriously about changing the phone .
any help how to free some internal storage with out root?

Try uninstalling apps that you don't use. ARTS in Lollipop needs much more space than Dalvik, so every app counts. This is also true for system app. I uninstall several system apps, mostly from Sony. Then most important of all, after all these, wipe Dalvik and cache in recovery and let the system re-create them again. This process increase the free internal space from 500MB to > 1GB for me.

No you need root.
Help please,
What should I do ????
Having very low free memory even after doing a Factory Reset
Please Help Guys!!!!!
PS- I'm new to this.
freeze unused apps and disable all autostarting apps in clean master

Do NOT ever use a task manager. Also, Android memory management does not work the same like Windows' memory management. The "free memory" you see is actually cached application.
But, since you said "after factory reset", which I'm going to assume there's no app installed then you can blame Android 5.1.1 bug, which is memory leak (I'm not 100% sure on memory leak, tho).
I used encryption once, when my N6 was running LOS 14/15. But then the navigation app became very, very slooooow in loading its maps, and my podcast app also was a bit lagging sometimes. So, when I flashed LOS 16, I decided not to encrypt the storage any more.
Now I am running LOS 17.1, and I am reconsidering encryption, because 17.1 is a much newer version, it might be that encryption works faster then before. Does anyone have experience with the this and can anyone tell me, how great the loss of loading speed will be on LOS 17.1 compared to previous LOS versions?
Alternatively, can there be a non-encrypted part of the storage, for things that don't need to be encrypted anyway, like maps and music, and one encrypted part for personal data? If the N6 had a memory card slot, it would be trivial to encrypt the internal storage and leave the external card unencrypted. But given the limited and non-expendable built in storage, a partitioning could get tricky. I guess, for a start root will be needed for this. And then: how will apps behave? Not every app can be told where to save its data.
If any one can tell me any thing about this, and hint or clue or help will be most welcome!
you ever find good info on this? I have a really old LOS, (I think 14.1) and I stopped flashing updates b/c i liked it and it was pretty stable. But I have been getting a lot of crashes and poweroffs and lag recently. I'm currently also using encrypted storage which is probably slowing everything down.
But i want to keep my storage encrypted if possible, but if not I'll at least beupdated to LOS 16 or 17 soon.

Sudden power-off is a sign that you need a new battery.
Lag and crashes could be many things, but first thing to try is doing a complete backup, then format the data partition. That will fix possible corruption of the file system or system data.
For typical use, encryption is only marginally slower. I doubt that is your problem.
If you upgrade, then remember that encryption was changed at some point (I think it was going from Nougat to Oreo, but not totally sure). That makes it necessary to format the data partition (again, backup first) and then reencrypting. Please note the difference between wiping and formatting, wipe is not enough.
Unfortunately, TWRP hasn't been updated, so if you encrypt with a recent rom, TWRP will no longer be able to access your files.
