Clear the cache for the Market app.
I love the search feature.

Under applications there wasn't a way to clear the Market cache. But when I cleared the Dalvik Cache I was then able to manually load all of the apps.
Clearing the Dalvik was probably overkill hehe.
I kept getting this error last night. Cleared the cache which didn't help but then I rebooted and it was fine. Reboots are usually the easiest fix
The market has its own cache for downloading files. It then installs them from the cache and then deletes the downloaded file. If you are trying to update or install many programs at the same time, the cache can get full and you will get this error. If some of the programs are large apks just download or update them individually and you should not get the error. This has nothing to do with device memory, just the limited size of the market's download cache.

I have tried several times to install the recovery file to my new Zeki 7 tablet so that I can use the Play Store apps. I have followed the instructions completely and placed the zip file into the root directory of the SD card. Every time I do this, however, the system reboots with the following message:
Android system recovery<3e>
Android system recovery utility (dlyx:vol up/vol down.enter)
Reboot system now
Apply upddate from external storage
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Apply update from cache
Finding update package…
E:unknown volume for path [/mnt/sdcard/update.zip]
E:Can’t mount [/mnt/sdcard/update.zip
Installation aborted.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Did you ever find an answer re: "installation aborted"?
Did you ever get an answer? I am setting up multiple devices for family who are giving for Christmas. 2 of 5 failed with this same error.
Thanks

After update to lollipop & Root & enabling CWM I installed the xposedv5.zip.
Now my Moto G tells me that there is not much space left. Titanium Backup shows only 20,5 MB left on System-Rom.
Is there anything I could do to get more free space on system rom without loosing functionality?
Reboot into CWM and wipe dalvik/cache.
Doesnt work.
The Message does not appear when I do not install the xposed.zip.
The Space on a Moto G1 after the Lollipop Update+Root is 27MB left on System-Rom.
PS.
I think Dalvik is not used under Lollipop and the cache is not stored on the system-rom

If you do not wipe Dalvik / Cache in recovery after flashing the xposed zip - you get this error.
Hi, i have the next versions:
CyanogenMod: 13.0-20161004-NIGHTLY-osprey
Kernel: 3.10.49-MPI24.107-56-g09ff0d1
And when trying to install the 1009-NIGHTLY update i get an error without a log in the cianogenmod recovery. When I try to "Apply update" and then "Choose from emulated", it shows the next message:
"E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
Installation aborted"
Then, i go to see the recovery logs, but it blanks and shows the main menu again.
Why do I want to update to the latest version, having 5 days of difference with the installed version?
Because I'm having repeatedly bugs with the Firefox browser, can't update Telegram, can't connect via Bluetooth to the most of the devices, can't update the binaries of SuperSU, and other minor errors.
Which could be the cause of some of this problems?
Sorry for my poor english, Saludos!
Download the latest nightly and before installing wipe the /system /dalvik cache and /cache partition, just be aware that you will need to reflash your gaps package.

Just did what you said, wiped /cache and /system partition, and when the phone reboots it stays in the Motorola logo. Seems that I can't load the installer using USB, because there is no ROM installed.
The good news are that I have access to emulated.
What am I doing wrong?

You wiped your entire internal storage? If not then there is an issue with your internal storage. I once had a similar issue to this, where my phone would keep wiping it's internal storage and crash a lot, the solution was to reflash the stock ROM. Sorry for the inconvenience that I caused to you
Just as a side question, did anyone got AICP nightlies .zip stuck at extracting image to /system? I tried clean install (wipe /system, /data, /cache and dalvik) but its just stuck there. Tried multiple nightlies. Tried deleting Android and .android_secure folders in both external and internal storage. I haven't tried wiping internal storage yet (I will do it ASAP). Any tips will be great. Thanks

I still don't know why cm installs a recovery that it is unstable and with less tools than TWRP. I believe that they should use at least the code of TWRP.
No problem Henriquefeira, everything has it's solution. Besize, your help was too much better than silence in this post. Now, I have to focus on try to enter to the internal storage and flash the update I have.
For that, I'm using fastboot in linux. But I don't know too much about using it. Next, I'll show you the messages that the terminal sent me:
Code:

Do you know what it means?

You can't flash the zip of a ROM via fastboot, follow this tutorial >goo.gl/JfRzZu and on the next time avoid installing the CM bundled recovery
Solved.
I flashed vía fastboot a stable twrp, then after a lot of errors and strange things i was able to flash the ROM.
Thanks a lot for your help.
I was seeing a bricked phone already jajaja.
I have downloaded Gapps pico. When I try to install error: Not enough space in System partition. Any remedy other than deleting apps?

Are you doing a full TWRP wipe before flashing the ZIPs?
Start Page TWRP> [WIPE]> [FORMAT DATA]> type YES press Blue CHECK in bottom right. - NP
No. I will format data & see what happens.
Thanks
John
I formatted Data and then changed to f2fs format. I received the same error: Insufficient storage space in System partition. I used TWRP 2.8.6.0. to format and to try to flash.
When I format Data should all my Apps get removed? All my apps are still present after format and changing to f2fs.
Anyway still stumped and would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Update the TWRP to 2.8.7.4 found here;
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023705510
And yes all you apps should be gone you might also try a factory reset before you format data, circled int the pic. - NP
Thanks for your help.
All is working. Reflashed TWRP (latest 3.2 version and the TWRP app). Factory wipe, formatted data and then changed to f2fs format (all with TWRP). Installed KitKass 7.2.1 and gapps pico. Configured network and browser. Setup app did not work; kept shutting down so I installed system from my nandroid.
:highfive:

Clearing cache from storage settings doesn't work actually. Every time i clear the cache from there it shows that i got rid of it but in the background it increases the size of the "other" folder present inside the storage option under settings. it feels like the cache is getting transferred to that folder and not wiping off.
I also tried clearing cache from recovery after clearing it first from settings but the "other" folder size remained intact. I think clearing cache doesn't work. Also the size of the "other" keeps on increasing everytime i do this. It's kinda loophole.
Has anyone observed it?
Does anyone have a pixel phone that they can try this on with the a b partitioning? I'm curious to know if this happens across the board or if it is just a OnePlus 6
Yea I noticed that too, clearing the cache in recovery (TWRP in my case) doesn't clear the cache shown in storage, but it doesn't go to the other folder either.
Literally nothing happens.
Not a bug, a feature. The cache doesn't exist as a partition on this phone. Clearing it in recovery does nothing.

Yes I know there is no cache partition on this phone. This happens when you clear all app cache and it happens when you clear the cache in the recovery both
you do it in stock recovery
cant do it in twrp or OS
what i do is when installing full rom zip update, ill reboot recovery clear cache then reboot fastboot install twrp and flash magisk and kernel
