i recently got a gift from friend
it is Galaxy S4 clone...
he claimed that it is korean made clone.
i have successfully rooted the phone with E-Root software....
however it shows following information
GT-i9500
Android 4,2,2
internal memory is just 89 MB however it displays 16GB but it is not....
i am unable to install applications on internal memory and all applications are automatically installed to SD CARD and internal memory also gets low every time.
i want to know more about phone, about its ROM,flashing etc....
Plus also give me advice what to do to increase memory..
i tried Link2SD but it failed every time to CREATE LINK and gives errors because applications are not in internal memory and i can't move them too.....when i click on MOVE TO PHONE it shows successful but after that it still remains in SD CARD.
Please help

My Motorola Defy unfortunately died but my sister kindly loaned me this Samsung Galaxy Y in the meantime until I get a new phone.
Unfortunately I have only been able to download and install one app "twitter". I try install other apps but it says: "Error while downloading "name of app" There is insufficient space on the device".
I know this phone doesn't have as much internal space as my old dead defy, but it does have 4GB on the SD Card so why does this message keep coming up?
Any ideas or suggestions on how I can fix this greatly appreciated. Surely this is not a design flaw? I can't imagine a company like Samsung making devices like this that don't even allow you to install any apps?

Apps are generally installed in internal memory (until or unless you have a ext partition in sd card where apps can be linked or transferred)
Installing apps in nothing to do with the size of sd card as internal memory is fixed. Around 190 mb but is alredy preoccupied by dalvik and all so it gets full soon...
You can install extra apps by creating ext partition in sd card and using apps like link2sd or s2e or others..
here refer to that thread or use search in devlopment section:
partitioning and Link2sd guide- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142154
There are many more you can search them but follow the thread exactly as it shows how to partition sd card which is required

Hello folks, I just got new SD Card 64GB because the official rom from samsung systems takes about 7GB from the internal storage [Notice: My internal storage 16GB].
So, I want to move almost all of my apps + files to the SD card (not all of them mostly the high size files).
For e.x: I've Mortal Kombat X from the play store when I move it to the SD card only the app is moved but the data stay in the internal storage Phone/Android/obb/xxxx also I tried other apps the same thing!
also I've tried moving the file by my self to SD/Android/obb/xxxx same problem and on launching the game it required an file installation (dowloading)!
My device info:
Model: GT-i9505 LTE
Android Ver: Official Samsung Lollipop 5.0.1
Internal Storage: 16GB
SD Card: 64GB
Root: NOT ROOTED Device
So, is there any solution ?
Thanks for your time guys...
You can try this. However, there is no guarantee it will work, and you assume any and all risks in trying it, including but not limited to bootloops or soft bricks. The app requires root as it needs to be able to pull data files from the /data partition, and you'll need to make a second partition on your MicroSD for the storage space. Certain features require a purchase to unlock.
I will give it a try!
I have just downloaded it from the play store but I think it required a root access!
Is there other way to move files to SD card without rooting my phone?
And what is the easiest way to root my phone
I mentioned that root was needed in my first post on this thread and why it was needed. There's no way to do what you want to do without rooting, so search for CF-AutoRoot on the forums for the easiest way to root.
Okay strephon thanks dude ☺I really appreciate that...
hay people,
so, today my friend gaved me his phone and asked me to install him facebook application on the phone, because he faild to install it.
so, i thought what an easy task, but it turns out i can not make it work at all.
so, he has samsung galaxy s4 (model: GT-I9500).
he has sd card which is 16 gb large, and his phone has 16 gb of installed storage. (at least phone specifications say so).
i tried to install facebook but i got the error.
the problem is that it says that there is no enouff storage available, and google play fails to download application.
so i went to the settings and some wery odd numbers i found.
so, it turns out that storage section of settings shows that there are three different storages.
first one is sd card.
for sd card it shows that it has 16.53 gb capacity, and that 13.97 gb is free.
second one is internal storage:
it shows that internal storage has 16gb capacity, from whitch (believe it or not) 15.91 gb is free.
furtermore, what is also strange is that it shows that there is third storage called "phone storage", and it shows that this storage has capacity of only 17.84 mb, and that 17.75 mb is free. but mb not gb.
what is even stranger, if i go to applications section of settings to see installed apps it shows that available space for apps is 170 mb from witch about 40mb is free.
i mean wtf, how is that possible?
phone has 16 gb of internal storage, and almost all is empty, there are no installed applications except for built in ones, and still it looks like it lacks free space.
it almost looks like it looks at this "phone storage" for available space to install.
what is that "phone storage" at all?
why is only 17mb large?
and how to make android detect that there is 15.93 gb of internal storage available?
instead android shows that low space icon in status bar and every 5 minuts displays popup saying "internal storage is full".
please help to solve this.
why those 15.93 gb are not available for applications?
also, phone has an option to choose where to install applications.
and no matter what i choose (sd card or internal storage) it says there is no enough storage available.
please help.
i really want to fix his phone, because if i do not, you know, he would think that i do not know how to install facebook app.
any help?
how to solve this?
is this normal?
is there any system reserved memory or something?
if this is normal, than can someone explain why, what is all that free memory used for?
for far as i concern, i am down with ideas only to reset phone. but, i am hoping there is some better solutions.
for anyone who reply, thanx!
He has a significant issue with storage. The internal storage should have about 6GB used by the system with about 9GB free. There should not be a "phone storage" drive. The device may need to be repartitioned to correct this, using a PIT file, the correct firmware for your device, and Odin.
I have troubles with J5, because it has 8Gb memory and official rom takes about 5.5Gb of rom so the rest is full almost imediatelly with 3 extra apps.
So I have rooted phone and put in external SD 32Gb and format is as internal memory, but still get notification all the time that storage is full.
I tried all custom roms here but none works, so I have installed official rom back.
Is there a way to do something to release that internal storage memory?

thank you I tried that but not working.
This this [Module] Magic Folder Binder (requires magisk)
Read #3 post for instructions how to use it
Basically whats that modules does is to mount folders on your external SDcard on internal memory, so you can move your app data to your SDcard and use it as normal.
Any questions ask on module thread.

Thanks, I already formated SD card as internal memmory and moved all apps which can be moved, but basically none of google apps can be moved and that is a problem.
Also don't know what fills up memmory, because fresh installed rom have 5.5Gb and phone fills up in one month to 8Gb.
Some light room will be good but I tried all and nothing works.
Is there a way to remove google apps which usually can not be removed?
I bought j5 and I downloaded At least few apps and it started showing "low disk space " I decided to delete all apps and out of 8gb it shows that I have 4MB only. I can't install anything and this phone is useless

Use the Samsung Smart Switch to restore the original ROM or use a custom ROM, it takes less space a have better performance
Hello everyone,
Month ago I brought Samusung Tab A7 2020 ( SM-T500) WIFI 32 GB ROM 3 RAM. Now i know that wasn'r best choice.
I found information in web that it new models of samsung tablet have blocked moving apps to SD card. From 32 gb 11 GB is used by system.
Firstly i tried use developer options force instal app to SD it doas't work. Next step was format SD card by
ADB shell to internal ( private ) when i do that file managers geting crush when start but option to move appered. Next problem is that only little part
of aplication can be moved for example from 5,5 GB call of duty it moves 360 MB... and when i trying put this file back tablet reset it self.
Next step was to format card split 50/50 to private ( internal ) and public (as external card ) that solve file explorer error but not problems dicribed above.
Any idea how to solve that ?
yeah i have the same problem but with samsung a 2019 s-pen, still don't know how to do next, really need more space for apps
I tried this split sd card thing as well. No luck! So my only hope is, might there be a way if I root the tablet?
