[Q] 51mb free, yet apps won't install due to memory shortage! - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running Leedroid 3.08.2 A2SD, which has been running well to date.
I had a problem with Dolphin HD browser yesterday, when it kept force closing when i tried to use it. I unistalled it and tried to restore from Titanium backup, but was told there was not enough memory available to install. I tried to download the app from the market, but same result.
I am puzzled as I have lots of free space. Quick Sytem Info reports the following
A2SD 127mb free
Internal 51mb free
System 22mb free
Sys Cache 31mb free
I have tried to install some other apps and had similar problems. I have rebooted, but that makes no difference.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Any possible solutions?
Cheers

I have no real solution here, never had such a problem...
I would try to wipe /cache in recovery and try installation again.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it hasn't solved the problem.
While I was trying 3 other apps updated with no problem!

Would a wipe of dalvik-cache not help ? After a restart, it should makes a change.
Please note that 1st boot after this wipe will be longuer as the dalvik-cache will be reconstructed, but then boot time will be normal.
Seen that silly message a long time ago with MIUI and used a script to move dalvik to SD-ext which solved the problem. In this case, this might be different as Sense is used, but problem might still be linked to dalvik-cache...

Thanks for the suggestion ouglouck. Tried this and still having the same problem. Managed to install a couple of new apps, but still can't get Dolphin to install!

thats the strange thing, i have 900 mb free :/
Do you have 900Mb free on your internal phone memory, or your microSD card?
Downloading apps will require free internal memory.
This actually seems like a ROM related problem.
Similar problems were faced with Custom Jellybean ROMs, one of which was Gimmeabreak.
Try checking with the thread from which you got your custom ROM to see if anyone has suffered a similar problem.
Wiping your cache and dalvik cache and clearing your playstore data is also worth a shot:fingers-crossed:
Good luck and hope I could help :good:

I tried to reinstall google apps by downloading on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps and flashing it in recovery mod . (hard reset, cache wipe and install from a zip). unsuccesful.
And i tried by installing the android market apk found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877330 . unsuccesful.
Try clearing market cache (menu, settings, applications, manage applications, all, market, force stop, clear data/cache.
Then reboot into cwm recovery and clear the dalvik cache.
Reboot, will take a while, but don't worry.
Then try market again.

Do you have a firewall such as droidwall? If so, make sure downloads (i think) has permission through WiFi or 3g of droidwall.
Also, do you have the same problem when using WiFi and 3g?

I have no firewall. i have only the basic apps provided by cyanogenmod and th google apps file.
And I tried wifi/3g unsuccesful.
the problem began when i downgraded my firmware the android started to dowload all my apps and it started to crash. and after that downloads started to be unsuccesful.
I would start again,
Try full wipe 1.2 (froyo ROMs) or 1.3 (gb ROMs). If you Google it, will find it in xda.
It will be a zip, and run from cwm recovery same as flashing a Rom or kernel.
Make sure the Rom your going to flash is not corrupted, check md5 checksum. Then flash again.

ok i will do this. i tried something i dowloaded the cyanogen rom 7.0 and i flashed my phone by the recovery mode. before that i hard reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. i installed the google apps zip. then on reboot i choose to restore my old parameters. android market seems to download all my old apps but there isn't any notification. but on the market apps there is a hudge list of apps and a the bottom there is a small start of apps installed. so maybe it is working.
Problem solved !
I went to recovery mode wipe data/cache/dalvik.
flashed Cyanogenmod and google apps.
rebooted and all my apps were dowloaded.
Your apps werer restaured !
Thanks
excellent

Insufficient memory error - when there's plenty of memory!

Hey everyone, I've been running the Kinged Shooter RLS1 for probably three days now and all of a sudden now when I try to download apps from the market I keep getting a error when downloading that says insufficient space on the device. I have plenty of space, I have 4.94GB on the SD card and 188MB of internal. Anyone have any ideas??
Thanks
What's ur set up and what kinda mods do to have in the rom?

My wife had the same problem running the Pyramid ROM so I partitioned her SD card using these instructions.
Hope that solves it for you as well.
Thanks for the feedback. I actually rebooted into recovery and wiped the cache and that seems to have fixed it.

Yeah, if your cache parition is full, you can't download from the market.
I might do this. A lot of the new ROMs are Sense extensive so I need to do this. Thanks for the link.

clear a2sd data

Well I keep having issues with random apps blno matter what ROM. I get an insuficient (sorry bad at spelling) storage error every time i download specific apps. Sometimes it happens to random installed apps and they just get insta fc until I uninstall and then I can't reinstall. I've heard people saying my a2sd cache might be full but I rarely use app to sd.. is there any other caches I can delete that may fix this? And yes I've wiped everything before each flash besides sd card

The insufficient storage error typically occurs when you have installed a lot of apps and you are out of app sotrage space on your phone. when you are out of space and you try to install a new app it will give you that error.
The instant FC is typically a problem between the app and the rom. If you get random instant FCs you might try using a different rom.
I reccomend using a wipe script like VR Superwipe or SNS Super Wipe before flashing a rom. they are in zip files and you flash them the same way you flash a rom to clear out your phone.

Occasionally, the insufficiant storage error can be caused by the kernel. You could try flashing a different kernel to see if the issue persists.

It's always something different with each kernel. Currently I'm on stock. And it happens with most versions of underworld also.

Constant force close on all apps

Hi,
I have recently flashed my phone with the latest CM7 ROM. I also partitioned my sd card and installed Data2SD to increase the internal storage.
This worked fine for about a week but then the ADW launcher started force closing, this then started a chain reaction which caused almost all the other apps to start force closing. Rebooting the phone and fixing the permissions temporarily fixes the issue but then after a few days it starts again.
I have tried clearing data and caches in recovery, reformatting sd card and reflashing everything but the problem starts again after a few hours or days. Once one app force closes it starts a chain reaction that causes practically all of them to force close.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
David

Which latest version nightly or the stable one?
Which data2sd script did you flash? Some of them can make those kind of problems.
Have you checked your filesystem? You can do this in your recovery.
And try to remove and reinsert your SD-card, a bad connection is known to bring a lot of problems.

It was the stable build, cm-7.2.0.1-bravo. I downloaded the data2sd script from a blog tutorial on how to increase internal storage on a htc desire, it was called Data2SDInstallerX1.zip from droidzone. Are there any data2sd scripts that you have found are stable and would recommend?

Yes i have tried removing and re-inserting sd card and rebooting phone etc. It seems to fix the problem temporarily but it usually comes back within a few hours.
I would recommend cm 7.2 from Proz0r's thread with built in int2sd script.
Here is the thread go there and see if you like it you have a complete rom there to download and install.
