I found a trick to this thing as i faced it too..its not at all handy to clear 900 mb in internal everyday.and update and make everything correct again.so here is the trick-
1>get foldermount or xinternalsd
2>create two different folder in sd card, anything you want. one folder(say deltadownload) link it to the download folder in internal.
3>Now the second folder(say cyan) link it to the cyandelta folder in internal.
4> now activate the links and place the previous nightly zip available in deltadownload folder
5> open the cyandelta app and navigate to download folder in internal to import the zip and it will get you to the deltadownload folder.select the zip.
NOW IT WILL IMPORT
6>Now just click the download button.and it will do the rest..At the end you will find the downloaded zip for next nightly in the cyan folder!
N.B-
Before every update just start the links in foldermount and get going from step 5!
~~HIT THANKS IF THAT HELPED~~

So, exactly how much internal storage we need to get free up for this process? atleast 450-500mb for the new zip?

with foldermount you do not need any internal storage free.but with normal process you require space to accommodate two zips(450+450=900+mb) as it downloads the delta update and creates a new zip while keeping the old one..hope you understood my explanation

A workaround not a complete fix but... When you get that problem again go to your download folder using any explorer application, like ES FILE EXPLORER, order the list by date added and you will find your appin the 1st position. Just install it- from there-. This fix work for the 100% downloaded application case but not installed
i think when you unmount the sd and install the apk it goes to the data.img in android folder, because this is acting as internal memory on android build... correct me if im wrong... but it works for me all the time and the aps are on sd...

The download folder is on the root of your SD-CARD
Thanks for the tip bro
Hello fellow S4 owners. Quick question, since this phone is a tad bit different from my Evo Design. I noticed on the S3 and S4 that most files are set by default to save to the phone's memory. I've rooted my S4 and backed up my data with Clockworkmod and now I can't find where it's saving these backups to lol! Just bought the phone 2 days ago and out of 16GB, I only have 1GB of free space left and want to transfer them to my SD.
Even when I go to Astro/Root Explorer, still can't find them on the phone or SD card, yet when I choose the "restore" option through my recovery, it knows where they are and displays them. Thanks in advance!
Well me I like using solid explore from the play store you have a trail .there you should be able to file any folder hit settings go to file and check hiden file then restart app you should see any folder thats hide if it hide it self . But I do believe it didnt and you just might need to check with anither file manger . And I havent rooted it yet I usually wait about two weeks to root my phone only cause I want to see what my phone could do with out root .
I will tonight if you havent found it byvthen let me know I'll more then will to help .

just an FYI, the only thing I've been able to do as far as freeing up space is delete the backups from the phone's memory. there was an option to delete in recovery which is pretty nifty. now all of my phone's memory is cleared and I backed up my ROM again to the SD.

if you are using the standard CWM then it will be saved to /data/media

Hello this is a guide to "move" you apps to your SD card for users with small Internal Storage
Update:There is now a faster way to do it.
After step 3 you just press the menu option on the top left corner and you press app analyzer.
This will show you an descending list of your apps sorted by their obb and file size.
Select the app you want to transfer it's obb from to SD (you can also choose to move its data)
Pair the data and you are done
Much faster
Much easier.
This GUIDE is for ROOTED PHONES ONLY it wont work with unrooted phones so please if you want to procced you MUST have a rooted phone
This method uses an app called Folder Mount (Free from Play Store) that allows the use to move large app files to external storage saving up internal space.
Instructions:
1) Download the App from Play Store called Folder Mount
App Link :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount
2) Once its installed open the app
3)Once the app is open it will ask you for root access press "GRANT"
!!! ATTENTION AS MENTIONED BEFORE THE APP WORKS ONLY ON ROOTED PHONES!!!
4)To use the app just press the "+" (cross) on the Top Right corner this will get you to Folder Pair Settings
5)In the "Name" slot you can name the Setting depending on what you want.
5.1) Example if you want to transfer the files from Dead Trigger https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.madfingergames.deadtrigger you can name it "Dead Trigger"
6) When you name the setting you press on "Source" this will get you to a file manager like screen where you choose the source of your file (MOST devices default source will be Android/obb/"game"
6.1)For Example the path for Dead Trigger on my phone (XPERIA SP) is (as shown in the Folder Mount App) /storage/sdcard0/Android/obb/com.madfingergames.deadtrigger
6.2) ATTENTION you must NOT sellect the WHOLE directory because that wont give you any editing or mounting options at all
6.3)ATTENTION when you are selecting the game file folder you must go into the folder (tap on the folder for example in this case com.madfingergames.deadtrigger) that will get you to the games directory so you are not choosing the whole game directory thus causing a big mess
7)When you sellect the games directory press the "check" button on the top right corner
8)After you press the cross a mesage will come up saying if you want the app to create a default destination folder
8.1) Press Yes and the app will create a default directory on your external SD (mine is /storage/sdcard1/Android/obb/com.madfingergames.deadtrigger)
8.2)Press No and choose your custom directory on your SD to save the folder in and then to apply the changes pless the "check" button
9)Afer you set up your destination folder just press the"check" button on the top right corner to finish
9.1) I would not suggest checking the " Exclude from media scan" box
10)After you pressed the "check" button it may show up a message telling you that your source directory is not empty (you already know that or why would you bother moving an empty folder) and by procceding it may overwrite some files.
Just press "Yes" on this.
11) Now it will go to the home screen and a message on the notification bar will tell you that files are being moved.
11.1)DO NOT START THE GAME TO CHECK the work is not done yet
12)Near the name you gave on step 5 you will see a thumbpin.
When the thumbpin is Green it means that the directory is mounted on your SD saving up Internal Storage Space
You can mount or unmount all your directories by pressing the thumbpin icon on the bottom right and bottom left corner (left -> mounts right -> unmounts)
13)after you mounted your game's directory test it out it should work
!!!!Here is a demo video to help you get started!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJLJZs7oqPE
Method Pros
1)Easy to use
2)Very fast transfering the files
3)Flexible (you can mount and unmount depending on wht you need)
4)Saves up a lot of time
Method Cons
1) The Free Version Supports only up to 3 pairs
Overall a great app for rooted phones
If you have any questions post them bellow
Thank you.
Nice, thankyou very much for your tutorial, was looking around for this one. By the way, when i mounted it, i checked to see if it played, it worked. But when i went on root explorer, how come the com.(what ever game) is still there in the Android/Obb folder? Doesn't it move since it moved to another location?
And also another quick question, if the game(any game) updates, does it update to the mounted folder?
Or do i start the whole process again with FolderMount?
Thank you Very Much

When you mount a directory Folder Mount keeps the old folder in the Android/obb/"folder" so when you delete the Pair it can transfer the game files to their original directory.
It is pretty much normal!
Also i forgot to add thanks for your kind words

Jackaros,
this might sound like a Silly question,
but am I correct in assuming that the App would move Files from the Internal 8GB rom to an Actual Micro SD card?
8gb internal memory is the only thing putting me off buying this phone,
regards
Yes,tho the free version will only allow 3 apps,the pro version us available via in app purchase..it is not much think about 86p maybe 1euro

I am sorry for the late answer and yes it will move the large files that take up internal SD space to your external SD and create a link between the 2 file directories

Clear Cache files, Temporary files .
go to
/sdcard/DCIM
On DCIM turn on hidden items.
Now delete .tumbnails its more than 1GB file & its no uses.
Do you mean go to settings and the storage and click on cache and empty?

No, download ES FILE MANAGER from playstore and turn on hidden items the delete .tumbnails lacated at DCIM folder .
SCREEN SHOTS
But that's the thing. I can't download anything else because of insufficient storage. That's what I'm trying to clear up so I can download my updates at least.
OK. I downloaded it. Thought I wasn't going to be able to though. But, those thumbnails are pics that I want. Will I erase those too? What exactly is a thumbnail or what am I really erasing?

Thumbnail are not original image file they are made when you open gallery & other image explore the small image (thumbnails) are saved for next time open faster.
I was deleted many times , and i can't find important it.
OK.
Thanks for y'all's help thus far and I was able to download some updates for my apps. Is there anything else I can do to create more space right now without buying anything?

Clean cache with CCleaner or Clean Master, it will free up a few hundred MBs, you can do it regularly (twice a week or something)

I have tried to deodexed my a510f. The phone can save lots of memory. In my phone, i also install lots of apks, however, the phone's storage still be free much.
Here, are there some pictures. The phone is still smooth.
Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_nI-GQLy-sFWUE2eTZMTVNVd3M/view?usp=docslist_api
You just download, extract and you have 2 folders. Enter to recovery, mount system, go to advance menu, file manager to copy the folders you just downloaded and paste to the system. App folder will replace for apps folders of the phone. Priv-app will replace for priv-app. After copy, you must set permission for the folders you just replaced (in file manager of recovery).
Remember to copy the original folder (app and priv-app) as a backup. If you have some apps force closed, you can replace them again with original folders.
Hope you to succeed.
Would appreciate if you can share how did you deodexed you a5100! I did search for information about the device but it's a new device so not much can be found!
Okay. I will pack these apk into a zip file and i will send for all of users of a510. You need to use custom recovery to replace the original apks. That is all. Simple.
But, now, i am quite busy, please wait for some days.
RAM is system memory. This is not the same as storage space.
