Insufficient storage available

[Guest hungary]

Hi. I always got "Insufficient storage available" when installing any application.

I dont want the APP2SD because the many FC.

In SD Card menu i have: 10.51 MB free

In Root Explorer: 12.40MB free

Whats the problem? I removed some apps, but always get this error.

Settings > SD Card & Phone Settings > Internal Phone Storage

What is the available space?

Also not sure what problems you have had with apps2sd. I am running MCR1.8 with apps2sd and it is rock solid. Have you configured your SD card correctly for apps2sd?

You have too many applications installed and there is not enough space on the internal storage (ie not the SD card).

You need to either uninstall some applications or install apps2sd.

I am using MCR 1.7 with A2SD and never had any issues or FC yet. Only problem is you have to do fix .apk id match through recovery sometimes for installing apps. but thats simple.

Sorry to threadjack but how do you repair the apps2sd apps after a phone reboot since none of them will work?

I used it without APP2SD and i have 10.51 MB free internal memory. Something wrong with the internal partition. :S

I reflashed the same rom, and installed all the apps, and have the real 10 mb free space :)

Boot into recovery menu and run ext repair (under the partition sd card menu item).

Takes about 10 seconds.

Also, I think I read somewhere that when installing an app Android requires that there is 4x the size of the app free ... i.e. if you've 10MB free then any app larger than 2.5MB will fail due to in sufficient space. In the article where I read this someone from Google acknowledged that the 4x test was in retrospect excessive and they'd probably reduce it a bit. N.b. from what I've gathered extra space is needed since in Android the OS can make a demand that an app that has been started and is currently resident in memory save its state so that it can be cleared out of memory.

To be honest Apps2SD made my pulse a lot better and useful. Without it I had to think seriously before downloading apps from market as it fills up storage. After this I can download apps which require bigger space as well.

Also I find that apps load quicker from my class 6 SD card than they did from internal memory.

Is apps2sd "usable" with a class 2 SD? (I went for size vs speed - i.e. 16GB class 2 - as I main use was probably going to be music etc where from what I can see class 2 is sufficient)

In my experience, no, a class 2 is not sufficient for apss2sd. Class 4 seems to be the minimum, I use an 8Gb SanDisk Class 4 and it works fine.

Thanks for the info ... I'll probably have a go to see if it works and if not look for a cheap 8GB class 4 or above ... given that I'm now using spotify mobile then the need for the large storage may have reduced!

I assume that its because the app2sd partition is being used to hold the saved states of apps as well as the apps themselves which is the reason why higher speed is needed.
