[Q] Insufficient Storage :-/ What to do

Hey Guys whenever i download any apps from market i get the error Install Unsuccessful .... Insufficient storage ...
What to do :-/
Rom Hell Fire v7.2
UOT Kitchen Flashed 1
Overclocked 729 Mhz
Wildfire

delete apps or move some to SD card? If your memory is full it's logical you can't add apps

Sounds to me that a2sd is not properly set up.
I been having some issues running out of storage internaly. and after some fiddeling around with a2sd it was ok. And how to do it is posted in this rom's explanation on how to install it.

The ROM takes about 10 minutes to start for the first time since the beginning makes for a facility, I recommend formatting the memory trageta do a clean install or possibly delete the folders: ANDROID, LOST DIR ANDROID as these folders SECURE conflicts created by data from the old roms
I recommend making partitions ie swap64mb ext512 and the rest as fat32 mind too expensive or necessarily recommend formatting the card will memory or possibly delete the folders in the same android, haer all the wipes, the Rom takes a few minutes to make first start since being installed all the extras on the first boot takes 3 to 5 minutes, once this echo this start and made ​​previous settings obligation is to do a reboot for full functionality telefeno
Installation of the rom:
1. reboot in recovery mode
2. we wipes all
3. selected to install update sip
4. restart the tlf
5. enter the terminal console and register the following:
his press enter
# a2sd cachesd or enter
the phone will reboot and have about 150 megs of free internal memory

nope dint workk :-/

Type "su" first (Without Quotes), then try the a2sd command.

Can u mention it Step by Step?

Hi all, i have same issue.

What i need to do? I can full wipe all my data from telefone if somone tell me how i can do this..
Can somone help?

Use dalvik wipe from xrecovery to clean ur phone data..

try istalling darktremor a2sd script (need to be istalled from recovery if not already integrated into your rom) and download a2sdgui from market, it's a gui for the script mentioned earlier. into recovery you have to partition your sd card too (advanced) 1024mb ext and i suggest 64mb swap, then open the app I told you (a2sdgui) and move everything to ext, dalvik cache too.

I agree with the poster above.
if you have issues with a2sd, I recommend installing A2SDGUI from market. (I assume you already have darktremors a2sd script installed). I had darktremors script working fine, but after flashing a zip file, it was not working. So I installed the A2SDGUI from darktremor and fixed the script. Now it is working. Just search the market and install it. It is great. Now I have around 168 MB free after all the installed apps.
Hope this helps,

SOLUTION TO INSUFFICIENT STORAGE:
1. Use FROYO+ default apps2sd. It gives the option to force moving of 95% of the apps to sdcard. Even root is not necessary. You can move 95% of apps only after using the adb command "adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2". This command is not even needed in cm7. And this method uses the fat/fat32 partition of sdcard not the ext partition. Specifically apps will be installed to .android_secure folder in the root of sdcard.
2. This method includes creating ext partition on sdcard and using an app called "link2sd". This is a root only app. No scripts are needed. That app has option to even link individual apps to ext partition. Also links dalvik cache.
3. Creating ext + swap partition and using dtapps2sd script. Root is required. Also custom recovery is required for flashing the script. This might be the toughest one but it is pretty awesome. Moves apps , data, dalvik cache to ext partition. Everything can be done with commands from the terminal emulator. Or you can use the "a2sdgui" app for graphical user interface.

The GUI for the script is much more user-friendly than emulator terminal. And you can undo everything you did if it's not as you tought faster than from terminal.

I am not aware of how Hell Fire works. But yes for Cyanogenmod 7 I know there is a issue downloading a large application from the market. It won't download. Problem is the space.
Fix for this is few steps:
1. In Terminal type the following commands.
2. su
3. mkdir /sdcard/download-cache
4. cd /cache
5. mv download download.bak
6. ln -s /sdcard/download-cache download
Done... Now Go to market and download anything you won't get such errors..
If It Helps Don't forget Press Thank Button.

Thanks a lot!
I just get my new sd-card( 16 Gb) and install darktremor a2sd script + a2sdgui.
Works just like it says!
No more thinking what program van install and what not....

Well I just installed the MOdd Again ... and I was done
Though i bought Samsung Galaxy ace as its my second time the Touch Panel doesn't work ... first in Tattoo and den in Wildfire
So ... Thanx a lot guys for Helping

Root problems with newer ROMs

Curse these programs that won't use newer su/busybox combinations.
After installing one of the latest blur ROMs, I wasn't able to get webtop2sd to run (a very common problem), nor Cisco's Anyconnect VPN client. webtop2sd did the usual FC, while Anyconnect would complain that it couldn't start a "critical component". Going back to the one I was running before the upgrade didn't help either.
These problems are not unique to the beta, nor this ROM, but here's what I had to do:
Follow the steps in this thread starting in step 6:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21155110&postcount=852.
Total props to dicksteele for the original post. Thought it might be better to put out here since this seems to be a recurring issue on most ROMs now.
Specifically,
6. Install Busybox installer from Market. Ran app installed busybox into /system/bin.
7. Open Root explorer Go to /system/etc mount r/w create webtop2sd directory
8. Go to /system/bin copy busybox over to /system/etc/webtop2sd
9. Still in root explorer, go to /system/bin and /system/xbin and delete su
10. Can't use quick reboot to reboot into recovery because su has been deleted. Wherever your adb is located, run adb reboot recovery.
11. Install the superuser app from the zip I have attached. Reboot.
12. Open some other app besides webtop2sd that needs root. Verify root is working.
13. Install webtop2sd.
14. Open webtop2sd, hopefully no FC's. Do the webtop2sd partitioning and copy webtop over to new partition on sdcard.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, webtop2sd was very picky to the point of needing busybox from the installer, not the identical one installed by the ROM. Once I got webtop2sd running, I tried Anyconnect again and it started right up.
I can understand webtop2SD not working since it hasn't been updated for a long time, but a company like Cisco should be sure their tool, available on the Market, works with the latest superuser/busybox combinations.
I would go so far as to say that if you are having trouble with any programs requiring root access, try the steps above used to get webtop2SD working. Hope this helps others stuck on similar issues with these newer ROMs.

Can't write on internal SD card after root

After having rooted (with nexus 10 toolkit v1.3.0) my nexus 10 and flashed AOPK Nexus 10 (WIP) Task650 & Ktoonsez (1-4) rom, I'm unable to upload to, change or move any files or folders on my internal SD card. I installed Root Explorer and changed from Mount R/O to Mounted as r/w. Access is granted by Super SU. I also tried to change permission settings, unfortunatedly without any success. There appeared the following message:
"Warning
Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems (e.g. SD card) do not allow permission changes."
Is there a possibility to change these permissions in order to be able to create and move files and folders on my SD card?
Thanks for taking your time to help me with my issue!

1. Clear cache
2. Clear dalvik
3. Fix Permissions
forgot something ?

Thank you for your reply, Patrik!
1. done.
2. done.
3. Fix Permissions - How? With cwm? I did fix permissions with cwm recovery, but the problem persists...

Just so we are clear, when you say "upload to, change, or move" are you meaning you cannot copy a file from your computer to your Nexus 10? Or just that you cant arrange stuff through root explorer from within the tablet itself?

Neither copying from PC to Nexus nor arranging stuff through root exlorer from within the tablet itself. I can't even download an email attachment and put it to the SD card. The card seems to be locked.

I had that problem once but I dont remember what caused it or what exactly I did to fix. I think I just did a complete wipe by locking and unlocking the bootloader and then installing a new ROM again.

I think I did this too (unroot, lock bootloader, then root and unlock bootloader) and then installed the same rom again. I will try it this time with another rom.
Isn't there really no other solution to get access to my SD card again??
Thx for your help!

Are you using a toolkit to unlock and root? If so them maybe it is not doing something right and it messing up a permissions somewhere. It could also be a driver problem on your PC with being unable to copy a file to the tablet.

Thank you for your help!
I am using the nexus 10 toolkit V1.3.0. Right now I'm trying to intall twrp recovery with a fully wiped sd card. No easy task fot me being a noob...

In ClockWorkMod, make sure that /data is mounted
Then download the Android SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
I usually put all the files just in C:/android-sdk-windows
Once you have it all there open up the SDK Manager and download all the additional files needed. You probably only need to download "Android SDK Tools" and "Android SDK Platform-tools", but I always download the other files for whatever version of Android I am running, in our case Android 4.2. That way I have them if I need to do something else.
Once downloaded, open the Android-sdk-windows/platform-tools directory. copy:
adb.exe
adbWinApi.dll
adbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
to your base C:/Android-SDK-Windows directory.
Now open command prompt from Start -> run
type: cd C:/Android-SDK-Windows
type: "adb devices" and it should list your tablet. It will actually say something with your devices serial number and then "Recovery" after it, showing your tablet is in recovery. If you dont see this then you either dont have your tablet mounted right from in the Recovery, ClockWorkMod is stupid, or you dont have working adb drivers.
Now copy the ROM you want to flash to C:/Android-SDK-Windows
Then type: "adb push blahblahblah.zip /data/media/0"
That should push the ROM to the root of your SD card. Give it time, it takes a while to push a ROM file. Once it is done, flash the ROM.
That *should* put it in the right spot where it looks like it is on your "internal storage" (what you see when navigating files within the ROM). If you dont see the ROM in clockworkMod then keep navigating back to the root of your internal storage and then open up "data", then "media", then "0" and you should see it. If you still cant find the ROM, push it again but just use "/data/media" as the location.
I just did all these steps myself to verify I remembered it all correct and I was able to successfully copy a ROM and find it on my tablet to flash by doing everything I just listed above. SO you should be good to go if you follow all those steps properly. I know it looks like a lot of work, but it really isnt and will go quite fast. Most of it is just the setup for getting ADB and Fastboot ready to use.
For a ROM to install, I would recommend to someone new like you either of these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2071082
^^^^^ That one is pretty close to the stock ROM with a few fixes and a couple extra features
or: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2071082
^^^^^ This one is pretty much CyanogenMod 10.1, but built by a different guy and not pulling every new thing from CM, just the "cherry picks" of features. It tends to be a bit more stable and less buggy than the real CM10.1 nightly's
And for a kernel you can flash and forget you will want to try this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098157
^^^^^ To flash that you will want to do a similar thing as how you pushed the ROM to your device. Only this time you will copy the kernels' "boot-r4.img" file into your android-adk-windows directory and use the command: "fastboot flash boot boot-r4.img"
While I enjoy the KTManta kernel more, it does require a bit of tweaking to get running perfect. Which is one of the things I like about it because of all the options to tweak. But for someone just learning this stuff that would be a bad thing, so Franco's kernel is much better than stock and doesnt require you to adjust anything once it is flashed to your tablet.

Nexus 7 - permissions issues and rooting

Hey people!
I just got a nexus 7 2012 and i am wanting to mount it in my car. So i wanted to do a few things before that.
I updated to official 5.1.1 via OTA. Everything is STOCK
First step was rooting which SEEMED to work (DID it via WUGS). It installed SU and busybox. Next step was to create my own bootanimation
This is where the issues have started. I can not change permissions or move any files to the system directory even with W/R option turned on
I can delete the files but can not copy files to the directories. I can no change permissions in ANY directory.
I have tried in root explorer mounting r/w ES file explorer R/W ... i tried to install a new busy box and it installs then immediately says "you installed but it seems there is an older version on the system" i can not uninstall busybox. I tried mounting in terminal and it says all partitions are EXT 4. I have tried rerooting. Root check says everything is fine. SU seems to be working fine (it elevates permissions for all the root apps).
But for the life of me it will not copy anything into / or /system. :crying:
Should i just forget it and install another rom, WIPE everything and start again? If ROM which one is the best at the moment (nexus 2012)

After 2-3 hours of messing about... I just TWRP and flashed a different SU and it starting working.

Remount issues

Hello,
I am currently running the H918 model with twrp and full root. Root was successful and the phone is running well. Thanks to all those who put in their time and effort and providing such a quick root capability. Makes the phone even more amazing than it already is.
Unfortunately, I am having an issue with be able to modify system files as I am unable to edit them whatsoever. I have tried using adb and using mount and remount commands but nothing has worked. I was hoping if anybody would be able to assist me with my issue. Thank you.

I've tried reflashing super su and I have busy box installed. Adaway is working properly (only through system less root) and I have been able to hibernate apps through tibu. I still cannot edit any files under /system. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

use root explorer

Thanks for your response. I've tried many root managers (including root explorer), enabled root permissions, had them successfully granted through supersu and still a no go. I just ran recowvery again and flashed twrp (this time without formatting data) and I am still unable to edit any system files.
