Hi! I've recently flashed evolution X on my k20 pro. But I can't download any big apps on my phone as play store says "App requires external storage". Not only that, I can't use camera app since it tells me to insert and card. I can't even take screenshots. I'm new to flashing ROMs. I download the files wiped cache,dalvik cache and system and formatted data first and then installed the files. Please overlook my mistakes and help?.
Edit: solved it.

Hi guys,
i just put on my phone latest version of MIUI: 1.9.2
It's the first time i try MIUI rom. Anyway...the problem is that after some apps installed the system give me an error reporting "not enough space to install the app".
I have obviusly lot of free space (about 1.7 gb on dedicated partition).
Is it just a problem of mine or is it common?
How can i resolve?
Thanks a lot in advance for help.
I'm getting the exact same issue on a Desire, just installed MIUI 1.9.2 for first the time tonight too.
Despite plenty of space on internal, a2sd+ and sd card I get the message when trying to move apps both onto and off the SD card, some do work but a few have gone one way and won't go back.
Maybe i am wrong, but as i understood 1.9.2 it's a stable, not a weekly. I think this is a very hard bug for a stable rom. So i was thinking i have mistaken something... dunno, waiting for other reports.

Sorted, I'd forgotten about shifting the dalvik cache from internal to SD card...
In the end this was fixed by reformatting the ext partition on my sd card with Rom Manager, 512Mb ext & 0Mb swap (wipes whole SD card so be sure to backup before doing this!). Then via Terminal Emulator I reinstalled a2sd then moved the dalvik cache to the sd card, been on GV rom for so long I'd forgotten about this step when I last switched roms. Afterwards I've now got 135Mb internal space free and I'm now restoring about 100 apps, haven't tried moving to SD card and back yet but am hopeful now...
I'd post a link for you but don't have the 8 post required to be allowed to do so yet but if you google 'miuiandroid forums running out of space' it's currently the top result.
Hope it works out for you too...!
After few time the device begun with FC of every application.
So i've done a wipe chache/dalvik cache/factory restore (ididn't do it at first installation). For now no problems about space and FC.
Anyway thanks for help.
Hello, hope I'm posting right. My phone has stock rom (4.0.4 LRK) with stock kernel. Today suddenly, can't tell why, I started experiencing strange issues with the internal storage. I can see, access and even write on /sdcard (I've just done a backup in a folder there with Titanium), same on my pc, but shortly after I boot, some apps start disappearing or to show up as grey icons, I can't move them from phone memory to sd card or viceversa, i can't unistall them, and i can't even install new apps.
Also, every action that requires to load the app list (like looking for cache to clean) fails on most cases. It's like the memory card was okay, but something was wrong with the apps installed.
What's happening?
first of all, move to a safe kernel... then either do a format using pc and put the data back. or do a factory reset in CWM recovery and reinstall apps using tb
I found out the problem was the external sd card after all but thanks anyway, you can close!
Please move to safe kernel
Hello All,
Suddenly have the “Couldn’t install on USB storage or SD card” problem. Quite a bit of information on the net on how to solve it, but it isnt doing it for this tablet.
I can not unmount the sdcard prior to installing/updating apps, theres simply no option for that in the setting->storage.
Second solution is to delete a file called "smdl2tmp1.asec" from one of two paths, but that file is not there.
I attached the tablet to the PC, but just see the "sdcard", not the internal memory.
I have CM10, from this forum.
Hope anyone can help me... Slowly my apps are being killed of by this problem, swiftkey and officesuite pro tried to update today, and can not even be opened anymore since...
Thanks,
Jeroen
Not sure what tab you have, but dies it have an external sd card? Internal is probably the same as sd card. It is on the i957.
God promised men that he'd put beautiful women in all corners of the world. Then he laughed and laughed and made the world round
I have the samsung 8.9 wifi tab. No external sdcard I can take out, just one that shows up as sdcard under /mnt/.
The tab is not dying on me, justn some apps show mthe error on updating them.Then afterwards those apps are not just updated, they're gone completely. I tried deleteing all dirs that I could find that seems associated with them, but the error still exists, I still get that same error on installing the app.
Thanks for replying, hope this clears up my poor description of the problem
OK, I did a full wipe and flashed CM10 and gapps, but the problem still exist. Installing apps gives me this problem... Anyone an idea?
Maybe the internal sdcard or memory is simply broke? But if so, why would the system install without problems?
Aww, my loved tab 8.9....

for whoever this is going to be useful, it turned out to be a kernel issue. Some developer confirmed it for me. so I fixed it in the end by installing a stock rom, the problem kept returning with non stock Roms...
Did a search but could not find this issue and cannot post on dev thread for ROM so i posting here if wrong place i sorry.
OK the issue, after updating to 3.0 of ultra i cant update any apps as it keeps spitting out "Insufficient Storage Available" which is a crock of ..........as i have 1.57GB out of a total of 5.37GB available on internal plus external sd card with 12GB available but not relevant as apps on internal with 1.57GB available. Have updated to 3.1.5 but still the same and also unable to install any apps, yet i have less apps on it now than prior the 3.0 as i was generally running under a GB space before. Memory running at about 300MB out of 840MB
Any help or pointers or criticism for not searching far and wide enough to find a answer gracefully accepted

Clear playstore datas in settings/apps/all
Also reboot a few times, wipe dalvik cache and cache.

Thank you kind Sir for your superb roms and your help.
I did as you said but am still having the same problem.
Anything else i can try?
Have you made full wipe before installing eXistenZ??
Have you made backups via CWM Recovery before??
For example I have made a backup with CWM recovery which wasn't seen by other recoveries or system himself.
I had to install CWM recovery once again and only this one seen two backups which take me about more than 2GB internal storage.
After fresh install (with full wipes, also internal storage) fresh eXistenZ + 22 apps which I have installed after I have 4.05GB free space on internal storage and no problems with install anything.
Narrowing it down a bit

Hi thank you for the reply,
I have not used CWM to create backup's i have only ever used Titanium but the issue is slightly different as the amount of free space is correct.
I think i have narrowed it down somewhat as i am able to install apps from Play store that have never been on the phone before the issue appears to be apps that are already on the phone can not be updated, i have uninstalled ones needing updating except for Chrome and NDR Utils as it wont allow me to uninstall them so i have frozen them for time being, i then rebooted and tried to reinstall them but even with them uninstalled it is still spitting out the "insufficient Storage" error
so my thinking is something is being left from uninstalling that is causing the issue as like i said above i can install anything else from Play store that has not been on phone before, for example i installed links2sd after it spat out the insufficient storage error for a previously installed app i tried installing again i have plenty of internal storage available for apps and it letting me install stuff that not been on phone before but wont let me update or reinstall stuff on or has been on phone before.
After doing some searching i found others having similar issues with different phones and roms etc but thus far all the solutions to those have not worked for me.
I know i could just easily wipe and start a fresh but to me thats defeating the object and takes so long even with all the backups etc, it just a real PITA to start afresh so i sooner search,read,beg,ask etc etc and exhaust every other avenue before admitting defeat and wiping.
So, I was using LineAgeOS 14.1 for my Xperia SP but it was awful so I switched to this. All went well but the problem is, I think the internal storage is unmounted (or something).
Play Store keeps crashing(tried cache,data clearing, everything). And it didn't include any filemanager.
So, I tried download an apk through Chrome but it shows "No SD Card" everytime.
What I've tried :
Wiping everything
Re-flash the ROM
Mount option in TWRP, but everytime I check the "Data" box and reboot, it reverts back to unchecked
Note :
I can see Internal Storage on my PC(connected with a USB cable) but I cannot copy anything in it
Can see the presence of Internal Storage in "Storage" menu in Settings too
Also, accessing the Camera says, "Memory write-protected"
same thing happened to me after trying oreo 8.0 , does anyone know the fix?
Finally fixed it , I used Sony Emma Tools latest Version.
Plugged the phone and repaired it using Sony Emma and installed Original Firmware , and now i can install other roms without any internal storage error , although it comes back when i install twrp 3.0.0
Anyone have other solution because EMMA does not support C530x anymore ?
