Hi There,
After installing a v4.1.2 ROM on my old X8 and finding out I can't even install Whatsapp on it due to lack of space (31MB free), I'm looking for the slimmest ROM available.
I don't even care if it's a v2.3 ROM. As long as there's enough space to install whatsapp.
Thanks in advance.

You can install it but you need to free enough space. It may requires up to x2 space available, which means 62 mb.
Dear Stamatis,
I didn't install ANYTHING on the phone after installing the custom ROM.
I can't increase the free space to move than 31MB. That's the problem.

I found a workaround.
whatsapp grow beyond what you can download and install from google play in a X8, so In order to install or upgrade, you need to download the official apk from whatsapp com /android/ to the SD card, then, uninstall whatsapp if you have it outdated, install the apk, then move it to the SD, only 9mb will remain used from the phone memory
( I started with 31, the same as you, after cleaning I got 33mb, then after instilling whatsapp, I don't now why, I have 36mb free )
hope it helps anyone searching in Google like me.
Have you connect your phone with google account? If so, that will update google play service which is about 150 MB so far. So you need app that is called Link2SD which you can use to move google play service to your SD card and free up space on your phone (internal storage). This might be possible with native App2SD option but I never tried it.
Good luck

Today when i was planning to reinstall Flash because i want to watch FIFA, i found out that i can't install it. it tells me " Sorry, there's not enough space to install this item." So i went off and uninstall a few apps. Now i have 33.32 MB of available space in my internal phone storage, still i cannot install any app. not even tiny update. I tried to do a recovery but it didn't help. Does anyone know what's wrong with my phone? Thank you in advance!
P.s. i have froyo
Yeah, you need to clear more space. Remember to clear your unwanted cache, especially your browser cache.
Have you tried rebooting yet? Could be as simple as that. Were you trying to update it? Or install from scratch? Try uninstall and reinstall instead of updating. If youre on custom Froyo ROM and had enabled aps2sd, try aps to internal mem.

It did this to me. I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it and it worked.
Thanks for all your responses. However, i don't think its just a specific app, i tried to download any new apps, and it still says there no space. In addition, i tried to take pictures using the stock camera app. And then it tells me that i don't have space in my SD card either!!! i have 3.69gb left in my SD card!
p.s. i don't have apps2sd
im using cyanogen mod 6.0 works fine but i notice a major problem!!!

You moved those apps to SD and they're not designed to be moved, by any chance?

you know that might be true i did do some move to sd card before i wipe and rebooted into the new rom... thanks
o by the way how much room does the nexus one suppose to have to store apps??
I think it depends on its capacity.
The internal flash memory is 512MB. You can expand the SD card to 32GB.
Nexus has ~190 MB for applications, their data and Dalvik-cache.
The best way to avoid that limit is to use Apps2SD+ (DarkTremor's, for example), or use a custom ROM that has it already implemented. Froyo Apps2SD doesn't help too much, and there are several problems with it when using custom launchers (ADW/LauncherPro), one of which you most likely saw.
I finally hit low memory on my N1 with only 20mb left I already moved all the apps to SD and clean cache and history. Now the question is does rooting solve this problem and how much more memory do you get ? (depending on the rom) Is there any solution without having to root the device? Thanks
Rooting by itself won't give you anything. You need to root and install A2SD or any other similar program/app, including a kernel that supports it and repartitioning SD card - and only then you'll get more space.
simple fix

This (as all other "true" A2SD utilities) will still require repartitioning SD card.
Yes it requires repartitioning.

Hi Nasir..
the lack of space for applications after installing MIUI ICS has been driving me crazy. The latest ROMS for MIUI should have Apps2SD already installed. Here is a link to a comment in the MIUI thread in how to install it..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22503462&highlight=apps2sd#post22503462
Now that being said.. It works great BUT even with the apps now going to the SD card, Android still reports the disk size wrong meaning you will get insufficient disk space errors even though you actually have a ton of space to install.
Here is an Article by TexasIce explaining Apps2SD and its command lines.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21222591&postcount=1374
He states in there that running 'install' does move it to the SD card and even shows you how to make sure BUT he states that Android will still report the wrong disk space. I followed his steps and verified that my Apps folder was now on the SD card but my phone was still telling me I only had 30mb left and kept running out of space when trying to update Dropbox and Google Maps.
But further down he talks about the xdata command you can use. If you use it, it will actually begin to report your data size correctly allowing you to update and install more applications. Its experimental and it could cause some slow downs on your phone but I was desperate at this point. I ran it and it rebooted my phone (took a bit longer than usual) but the Android System is now reporting the correct amount of free space and I was able to update my apps and still have a ton of space left.
Try Mount2SD

Thanks I learn much about working of a2sd also a big problem of having much space but saying no space available is also solved thanks for helping me.....

Hi guys
I've done a fair bit of searching but still cannot find the full and final answer to this question. I'm getting mixed answers which seem to be confusing me more and more.
I've installed Evervolv's 4.4.4 (non DM) on my TP and can install apps but only onto my internal storage. I believe KitKat doesn't allow you to install apps to external storage (i.e. Sd cards), however I believe the SD cardfix that you can download from the play store allows you to fix this.
I've installed it and ran it - which now says all is good but I still cannot seem to install apps to my sd card. I've got 6gb+ waiting to be used whereas I can only install a couple on my internal storage.
Any help would be great. If I need to install another ROM to get this functionality then please let me know which.
Thanks in advance
