ok so I did a search and I didn't find a specific answer to this...
I am running dc v2.7.2 and I had a notification pop up saying I am low on space, phone storage is getting low. How Do I fix this and make the notification go away? I am running a task manager and try to keep my memory freed up but I was running slacker and this popped up. It sends me to application manager when clicked. What does it want me to do?!
I tried a reboot and deleted a few worthless apps but it is still there.
Take a moment and really think about what the error message is saying. Its very obvious and does not require much of a attention span.

How much internal memory and ram do you have?
Try to download a cache cleaner from the market... Or wipe your dalvik cache in the recovery screen. It will take awhile to boot up, but should help.
Also if you dont use a2sd, try it out.. I install most of my apps on my sd and ones I use daily or hourly on my system. Just to keep heavy use off my sdcard.

Try to flash this in recovery.. It wont delete or mess up your rom.
It should just wipe dalvik
View attachment _2__update1.zip
I would also delete apps that you dont use that are in your system/app
Type
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
It will show all your apps..
Type this to remove ones you dont use.. Maybe Stock.apk
rm Stock.apk
It is case sensitive.

I would partition your sd card.. And use a2sd. It moves most of your apps to your sd card, to save alot of memory.
Make a back up of all your stuff on your sdcard to a folder on your computer. Then use the recovery screen to partition your sdcard to ext3.
All of the main system apps your phone uses will stay on your internal but all of your downloaded apps from the market go to your sdcard.
well my phone won't reboot... I tried doing a wipe and nothing... guess I will try flashing a previous dc rom and see if that works but I think I may have a brick now

If your phone turns on it's not bricked. What do you mean it won't boot? What is it doing?

You were correct it wasn't bricked. It was just stuck on the bootscreen. It would do the boot animation and just stick and not make it to the the home screen, just was looping the last .gif image...
I ended up doing a wipe and was able to get to come up. Lost all my info but I now have a working phone and realize I need to manage my memory a little better.
Thank you all for your help and suggestions. Greatly appreciated! I will be trying to partition my sd and hopefully that will alleviate my internal memory issue. We shall see.
The space error has nothing to do with /system/app or your RAM. It's internal storage, which is the /data filesystem.
You are running out of internal storage. You need to clear up space from /data, which can include clearing caches, uninstalling programs, using Apps2SD, etc.

Seriously use the search function. But yes you keep your apps just have to redo the link to them.
Only when you have apps2sd on the device after the wipe.

If you have a ROM that comes with Apps2SD then you will move the ROMs apps and cache and restart your apps will show back up in your draw.
At least that how mine works.

ok .... i have cynaogen rom and recovery img with apps2sd on it...
so i have already moved apps to my sd..
now i wanna wipe...
then im going to re-flash cynogens rom...
my apps that are on my sd didnt so show up...
so i just re-push the apps default apps to sd....
eventhough i dont think default apps get pushed, then i restart?
and my apps that were already on my sd should show up now?

Do you have an ext2/ext3 partition? I think that's a requirement for it to work. Otherwise, if you're just looking for something to backup your apps, you can try the Apps Manager app.

thank you so much
On the other hand, if you want to keep those apps from showing up again, use paragon partition manager, or another compatible partition manager and format, or delete and reinstall your ext2 or ext3 partition as the case may be. If you bounce around the roms as much as I do, it's easier to remove the sd card and repartition it and start over clean, you don't have ANY force closes and hangs that way, unless the rom is really messed up. my .02 worth.
All of a sudden my apps on my sd are not loading, you see them on the screen (not in the app drawer ) with the default android logo and when you click it, it wont run. The memory card works as you can see stuff stored on it with a file manager etc. Also I can see the list of apps on the sd when i go on manage application and i can also uninstall if i want. Ive tried rebooting multiple times to no avail, also turned off phone and removed and re entered sd card twice but still didnt work when i booted.
Anyway to solve this.

Back up all your user apps with Titanium and do a fresh install (Flash the ROM again, duh), hopefully it will work unless you made an ext partition.
re-flashing is not some i want to consider ATM, what exactly does clearing the symbol cache do.

I think he meant system cache. Yes. Try wiping cache and dalvik cache. If still you are not able to see apps, then you need to do a data wipe.

So i cleared the dalvik cache using titanium backup and well i got 40mb free but the apps on the sd still wont working, weird thing is that i can download a app and move to the sd and it works
does any1 have anymore suggestions
I have 500MB left and whenever I'm trying to update/install apps from the Play Story it gives me this error!
I tried clearing the dalvik-cache which is like 450MB but it force closes the whole system and apps!
After rebooting... the dalvik-cache is still there! I'm guessing that it's rewritten itself...
I think dalvik cache rewrites itself after it's wipe
That's Why it takes a long time to boot after dalvik wipe

Where do you have only 500mb left? Meaning /data/media or /cache (not /dalvik-cache).
Try going into Setting>Apps> Gallery, Playstore, video player, music player and wiping the Cache there. Gallery is a cache hog, so is Browser and Playstore.
Once you get that cleaned out, you should be able to download something from the market. I suggest Cache Cleaner NG. It is a cache cleaner that you can set to run everyday, week, month. I have mine set to run every morning before I wake up so my tablet is fresh and clean and ready to use.

Clearing cache from recovery is not the same. Go into those apps and wipe them there.
Also, take look in /data/log and see if anything is in there. I just read about someone yesterday that had 11gb of useless entries in there. If there is anything in that file, just delete it (it isn't needed) and the set the permission to User-R and the rest blank and you would get those files anymore.
If all else fails, just delete something from your internal that you can replace later on from your PC (like some music or video) and that way you'll clear out some space to download a cleaner from the market.

Your internal and /data/media are the same thing. If you said that your internal is almost full and you are getting the error,....

But I deleted a lot of stuff! and now I have 400MB!
400MB should be enough to install an 800KB app!
Just trying to troubleshoot here man. Use a file explorer and look around to see if anything sticks out.
Might be time to do a factory reset and clean house (as a last resort) unless someone else has any ideas.
Good luck.
You need to have at least 512MB on your internal memory to be able to instal more programs. There is no fix for that.

He is correct, 512 is the limit, you will also notice the system slows ALOT after this point, I like to use my MicroSD for alot of things for this reason.
Also glad I read the 'log' tip, I had a 600Mb log just sitting there. X.x
I get this insufficient space error when titanium backup runs a scheduled backup. I have 18gb free and when I manually do a backup it works like a charm. Odd behavior. Sorry, I don't have any suggestions; just wanted to let you know you are not alone.

Try Apps2SD or a similar app.
I know for sure that the huge amounts of resource files used by games like Shadowgun and GTAIII can be stored on the MicroSD, freeing alot.

Oops accidentally thanked you for this post.
Anyways, I have found that wiping data from recovery doesn't clear download files and such. Download Astro File manager and see what is taking up most of your internal memory. I found personally that .zip files and a few things like that were taking up oodles of storage space. Also, when yuo do a CWM backup, do the backup to the External SD card, that way it doesn't take up app space.

I strongly suggest you flash a stock rom using Odin and clear everything. If you still have problems with the stock rom on your tablet return it for warranty repair. My feeling is though it is something you are doing. So once back to stock (out of the box) reinstall apps one at a time - avoid apps to sd and installing them on external memory. I don't believe that can be necessary!

Format external sd card, but why would you? You can just wipe what you dont`t need.
Usualy its enough to data factory reset, wipe both caches and format system before flashing a new rom. You don`t have t wipe the internal and external sd cards.
