Hi all,

Is there any solution to fix my phone storage issue? I wasn't able to install new app or update an existing app even though both of my internal and external storage have lots of space. See below or refer to attached screenshot of the error message.

As Pinyin is a Google app I would hazard a guess it's trying to install to your system partition which is around 2gb and separate from internal and sd. It's where the rom is hosted.

As above poster mentions, there are various apps you can use to move system apps to internal storage, or foldermount to fool the system into thinking a directory on your sd card is actually your system partition etc.

Run it and see if you get a notification about unused ODEX files - then try installing the app.

You'd need to be rooted for any customization of system folders.
