You know that when ever a program refers to sd-card it means /SDCARD.
And this is the internal sdcard of the galaxy. The external sd-card is mounted at /sdcard/sd.

So friend how come i solve this problem..when i want to continue the installation it always says require at least 35mb memory card free but my memory card 4gig free..

This might be a form of copy protection where it doesn't want to allow apps to be installed off of an SD card. It sounds like you downloaded to an external card, am I right? Make sure you aren't confusing your internal and external SD (memory) cards, only use the internal memory card for downloads and installations.

actually it sounds like the [OP] already maxed out his INTERNAL SD, that's why the game is not installing.
Because Asphalt 5 installed fine for me just fine.
the games will not install to an EXTERNAL SD [OP] 4GB SD card because that feature only comes after fRoyo 2.2

You are referring to you externeal sd card!!
You can't use this card for installing apps. Only the internal sd card.
The internal sd card = sd card for any android app.

Are you sure you can can install apps to /sdcard/sd and not only to /sdcard?

so AllGamer u said that Asphalt 5 installed fine for u...can u tell me the step by step how 2 install the game on galaxy s..can i know ur installer is a copy or u buy original one from gameloft..mine is a copy from someone post...i've already several time try to install but got same problem..i confuse y after i allready install then when i open by click the icon it say must download some data else but it said require some space in memory card but my memory card 4gig free..several time i click retry but can't work...so can u help me regarding this prob please...

You can only install games on to your internal SD. If it fails to install due to not having enough memory you will have to delete some things for it to install. If you have a 4GB external SD you still cannot install apps to it as this is a feature of Froyo 2.2 only. If your not up for deleting anything you'll have to flash a froyo rom or wait until Samsung release the full official version.

easy, just click install
done
no special steps, it just installs automatically to the INTERNAL SD

No one has even asked him properly yet. Syuk89 is your internal memory on your phone full? You should have 8gb or 16gb on your internal memory.

So you have a stolen game ...
But you don't need to steal Asphalt 5 as it is available for free in the Samsung market.
Just select it there to install and everything works.
And of course you need some free space on your INTERNAL sdcard. Not the external 4GB you put in!!!

My hp have 16gig internal memory and 4gig external..i've do all u said but still can't work..i bought this hp from my friend and he said this hp allready upgrade to 2.2 beta and rooted... So if this the problem..n can i know how to make a screenshot like iphone so i can attach the pic

then you are probably in the wrong forum
This forum is for Samsung Galaxy S, not for HP
but even on a HP device you should be able to install the game as long as you are running Android 2.1
many Apps & Games are not yet compatible with Android 2.2

No hp stands handphone..my hp is samsung galaxy s19000.. So how..is i must format my internal sd..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Are you running one of the leaked FroYo firmwares for Samsung Galaxy S? <-- Aha! Yes you are! I should have read your latest posts more carefully.
Nova (a Gameloft game) would not install under this firmware for me because the SD card handling in the leaked firmware was broken. The game requests phone-specific data for external storage (in-game media, I presume) during install, but fails when it cannot find the external SD card.
For the same reason, I could not mount the SD cards properly, a number of apps were unable to access data on the external card, and even custom recovery images failed to see the card so I was unable backup or restore anything via Nandroid.
The only fix for me was to re-install a stable 2.1 firmware.
EDIT: Just to clarify, Gameloft games require external SD storage and will ignore the internal storage completely, failing upon install if no external storage can be found. In the leaked 2.2 firmware (all versions that I found), external SD handling was broken, and the mounting points had been changed (so the external card could not be found where expected, at /sdcard/sd).
Formatting internal or external storage WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE!! It is a problem with the 2.2 firmware leaks that cannot be 'worked around'. I even tried sym-linking /sdcard/sd to the external card and got nowhere... but then, I'm not entirely sure I was doing it right anyway. :S

I think its leak because its only beta..many apps force close..the hp also running a bit slow..i bought this samsung from my friend and its allready upgrade to 2.2 beta..so how can i back to normal firmware..or is that i must reset the hp..how??

[Q] Storage Full message

Just flashed [EU/TMOUS][CWR] imilka's HD Sense Series v2.0 1.84[D2EXT][K:rafpigna 1.7 OC] on my hd2 which is an EU one. Had partitioned my 16GB sd card using MiniTool Partition Wizard, making 2 partitions i.e. about 11GB FAT32 and almost 4GB EXT2, both primary. Just copied the zip file of the ROM on my sd card and ran it through AD Recovery (400mb setup one, which is recommended with this ROM). Everything went smooth but after the installation, even if i run the browser i get the message: Storage Full..you dont have enough free space remaining in your phone's storage, whereas in Settings, SD&phone storage my Internal phone storage shows 3.52GB available. I also cannot install any new apps due to this problem.
Any help would be much appreciated.

its suggested not to use larger than 2gb ext partition

Had a same problem with my favorite Hyperdroid. After flashing i could not even receive any sms becaus they were rejected because of no space. And i did not have anything weired installed... I solved it by completly formatting again and tnen the whole prodcedure again.. Sorry but that was the only way that helped me;-) But actually i could not solve the prob itselve...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, mine is the same problem, can't even receive emails or browse the internet, the message keeps showing up. I'm ready to repeat the whole process by formmatting my sd card, but I have some simple questions (might sound a little naive as i'm new to flashing android):
1- Do I need to make only 2 partitions? Fat32 and an ext partitions?
2- Do I need to keep any other files on any of these partitions except the ROM before I start flashing through Recovery?
3- Do you also suggest, like Richy99 does, to keep the ext up to 2GB only?

just discovered answers to the above questions. Repeated the whole precess, repartitioned my sd card (this time 2gb ext), and finally got rid of that storage full message. There's a lag though...seems to be slow on my hd2. Moreover, I cant uninstall the apps that came with this. The uninstall button remains grey.

a) Use 1GB ext, NOT 2GB.
b) Lag is beacuse its a DHD rom, you need to wait for all the apps to sync or wait for OS to settle down. Let everything sync and then do a few reboots and wait some hours. Once everything has settled lag should be gone.
c) If you want to remove stuff use "System App Remover" from market.
d) Read your roms instructions properly.

[Q] Kyrillos' ROM v3.3 App2Sd doesn't work

hi all,
I followed the instruction from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957123 to the letter but the app2Sd still doesn't work.
Tried it numerous times now and also with older versions of Kyrillos but my Internal memory isn't increasing.
The SD card seems to be taken of about the same memmory that I ask to convert to appdata and swap memory, but the internal memmory isn't stated to be increased.
Anyone know what I might be doing wrong ,or is there a better manual for this application?

after installing rom ROOT THE PHONE!!!
app2sd will not work without root
apply app2sd partition &u'll get superuser permission request, select allow
(the phone will reboot and sd card will show unsupported format)
then download android terminal emulator from market(free!!)
open the emulator and u'll get a blue screen
type --(commands)
-------------
su(enter)
mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1(enter)
(wait for # to come onto the next line)
reboot(enter)

the applications are included in the software of Kyrillos and phone is pre rooted and working.
I did all steps that you stated, as also described in the original post of Kyrillos.
again, after doing all those steps I do see more then a gig less on my SD card, but I don't see the Internal memory increasin. It just keeps at 105MB

I have the same problem, can someone help or explain how we get this working?

you CAN'T see the effects in settings.go to market download titanium and check it

So when I see in Titanium Backup both Internal and SD card it doesn't work? And when I see Internal, SD Card and SD Card(a2sd) it does work?

OK now with in titanium go to bath look for "move all app to internal mem" and you're done ENJOY

then why does my internal memmory still gets full? Do I need to move the applications with another tool to the app2SD partition?

where did you saw that internal memory gets full in titanium or in settings???

btw, it is correct the internal storage in settings stays the same as it was before a2sd?

I think I'm starting to get the hang of it

yes that's the point after i while you will in settings that memory is decreasing but that's the data of app you will use

ok cool, I ran the batch you told and now my internal memory stays clean, thanks!

you can't see it in the phone settings.. but for a test see how much internal memory you have that your phone tells you, then install a large app like angry birds or something, and it should only go down by 1-2mb

[Q] market place tells me "no space" with over 2gb of internal storage left!

[Q] market place tells me "no space" with over 2gb of internal storage left!
As some of you may have read on an earlier thread of mine where my phone got stuck looping Droid screens it has now come back to life.
i now have this issue that when i go onto market place to get my apps back, it tells me there is no space to install this. i have a 16gb card which has been partitioned as fat32 for music etc and ext 2 for apps. its formatted the same as before my phone died except im now using a 16gb card not 8gb.
why is it telling me there is no space when clearly there is?
thanks

Hi
I think you are confusing internal storage and sd storage.
If you use a program like titanium backup, it will show you on the opening page all the available storage you have (internal,sd and ext).
If you have no internal storage, it's possible you didn't use correct system partition according to the [OP] recommendation.

The Market did that to me earlier too. It's some kinda glitch. I was able to download the app after I just tried a few times.
^ Shift Faced

You can use spare parts 2.1 Update (it's somewhere on the forum) to make App2SD+ install apps on the External storage (the ext2/3/4 space)

I think that you need to download a script that fixing this problem because the market application needs a links to the cache files.

install app on sd on htc mini hd

hi all i m new on android on our device.
i have that problem :
on my device i have a sd with 8 gb (i know..it s not very much... ),with installed android,and other app on by wm 6.5.
android some days ago started to say impossible install the app because not enough space.
i linked device on pc,and see there are about 2 gb free space on sd... ...
well where is the problem for android?
he decided to give some space factory how device's space, and need a partition to see remain space how sd space?
sorry for my english i m from italy(and google traductor it s not better than me).

Maybe a market problem? The updated market gives me low space errors sometimes. in phone settings you can go to manage applications then tap on 'all' and scroll down to market and tap on it. then tap in uninstall update. Works for me for the next app I download but then it updates again and gives me the error for the next app. Sorry if i'm not understanding you but it's worth a try.

thanks for the quickly answer,but i don't think it s a market problem,because in the notify bar there is in continue the messagge the space it s finishing...but it s not true....20 minutes ago i erased 900Mb lol.... i suppose a pair of app on 900Mb free can be installed....or not? (i mean app and not games.)

i suppose android decide to take some space(for example 3gb of the sd) and use that how device memory.
then when that space it s full,it say the space it s finish.
maybe if our sd it s partitioned (for example a part with the apps of win +exe of android and another part called sd,used for sd card for android) can install app in sd space how sd and then not how device memory.... lol...i know it s complicate to understand what i m saying..

Maybe your sd card is partitioned? Try instaling http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html and see if you have something wrong in your sd card

Have you tried simply rebooting or rescanning media files?
