if you are getting this error, please move your market-cache to your SD card:
Code:
cd /cache
su
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/market-cache
mv download download.bak
ln -s /mnt/sdcard/download download
exit
please give this a shot and report back here if this worked (and thank and bump it). i am seeing this error quite a bit lately and i think this might help some of you out.
Thanks for creating the topic. I'm having that problem but sadly your fix did not work for me . I used ES explorer with root to dump the cache all together and everytime I want to download something from market it tells me that there is insufficient space. BTW I'm running Android Revolution HD 1.1.2 if that makes any difference, anyone else have this problem?
P.S. I tried re-flashing with no positive results (Maybe partition problem?)
SOLVED: What I did is go into ClockWorkMod (Hold Vol- and Power button at reboot then choose RECOVERY) and wiped both the Cache and the Dalvik Cache (under advanced). I did not however try just to wipe one or the other I figured I'd do both to solve the problem so I'm guessing it might have just been the cache and not the Dalvik one so try both if you don't have luck just with the one
Didn't work.
But, was able to get it working from this link. Just create a file and run it using either terminal or Script Manager.
Hope, it helps for those facing issue. In my case, the actual issue was that I had converted to EXT4 due to which I had lost 4MB data in /cache, and hence only 27 MB was free. SO, some applications like Cordy (which needs 27.96 MB) wouldn't download. For others, just deleting the /cache contents either via root explorer or E-Strongs' file explorer or wiping cache in CWM would be enough.
PS: Another Market issue which I am facing is that some applications like Android System Info or Lookout Mobile Security can't be installed as it states that it is incompatible with SGS. (Only when doing via the web market, in mobile, no download option comes up)..
Any idea how to resolve this?
Thanks clearing cache and dalvik cache using twrp on my htc shooter fixed the problem for me
About89Puppies's solution perfectly works for me. Another symptom of the problem in my phone was a mount error for cache partition in CWM recovery. Now everything is just fine. Thank you guys!
Just reporting an experience...
Got that the other day when trying to fix my gps locking issues. I was flashing and reflashing roms like it was going out of style. LOL But in the end I got everything sorted.
But in doing reflashing of the roms, I did come across this error when the market tried to auto install all my apps without the use of titanium backup. I got a series of errors reporting that the apps did not install. I just did a wipe and restore to factory settings and then flashed a rom. Everything installed afterwards. I thought it was a formatting issue as well, but it cleared itself out basically.
Cache + Dalvik Cache didn't work for me :/
Hey, I have this problem to! My problem is I have a Samsung galaxy player that clockworkmod doesn't work on (I think). Mine is rooted though.
Edit: I went into dalvek cache with fileslick and deleted some of the files in there but still get the error? I am trying to install wind-up knight if that helps.
Solved!!!
After browsing around, I found out solution:
The problem is in the cache folder (that I assume used by the market) is using small partition (around 20mb in my case).
So to solve this we need to change it to bigger partition.
1. You gonna need Android Terminal Simulator or equivalent terminal app. This will also require your Android rooted.
2. Type ’su’ (root permission request will be showned, you need to approve it).
3. Type ‘cd /’
4. Type ‘umount /cache’
5. Type ‘mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs rootfs /’ (to set the folder access to rw – read write)
6. Type ‘rmdir /cache’ (delete cache folder)
7. I personally using root explorer to do point 5-6
8. Type ‘mkdir /sdcard/cache’
9. Type ‘ln -s /sdcard/cache /cache’ (to link cache folder to /sdcard/cache – which shoud have bigger partition size)
Works like a charm!!!
Thanks to jimmy!

You can download marketfix. It helps all kind of market problems.
I used to have an error showing there was insufficient space. Now, it works perfectly!
Problem:
Google raised the app maximum size from 30 to 50mb. And samsung made the default cache size 30mb. So apps larger than 30mb will not download.
The fix: increase the cache size to 50mb.
Flash this through CWM, then check if your /cache is 50mb.
All credit to iXNyNe over at this thread. He totally did all the work. I just figured it needed more attention on the cappy forum.

I had a problem with this market fix. Eventually, the cache filled up and I couldn't upgrade any apps (got an error message). I had to clear the cache in CWM Recovery, and then clear data in Market to get these apps to download again. I never had to do that with the original cache. To me, it's not worth it, since I don't download any huge apps anyway.
Just updated the file my post to convert to ext4 instead of ext2.
you should add it to your sig... and your phone/rom info.. always helps!
might want to edit thread title to be more descriptive of what market fix...

It's in Ext4.
I tried downloading an app from the Google Play Store, and the app(poweramp) was only 3 MB. I sill have 0.99 GB of system storage. But market keeps insisting that I don't have enough space. Any fix?
Only poweramp has this problem, dither apparently can install fine.

Actually I had this problem too.
You have to download catlog from the google play . Keep it running .. ( don't pause it ) . Go to the market try to download the poweramp again.. Then when it shows the error again. Go back to the catlog and scroll through the logs , you should see a log like cannot create dir com.max .... ( something like that ) then search that folder and delete it from /data/data or data/app ( if u find that dir in both then delete it from both ) through a file browser like root explorer.

I am not exactly sure how I found myself here, but I do have a thought you might wish to consider.
You can have an unlimited amount of space for storing your apps, but as long as your dalvik cache resides on your device, it has a limited amount of storage space to use, so when it fills, you will be unable to install apps from the market. Moving dalvik to an Ext4 SD-Ext partition of a size you choose, might resolve the problem.
No guarantees, just something to consider. Good luck!
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=ziqdu0&s=6i too am having this problem, except i deleted the file and still no luck, heres a screenshot of catlog, i narrowed it down to that, but dont know where to go from there, help
Check the /data/app folder. If you have used some kind of patch, it might leave out the odex file. delete that and try installing it from the play store again.

Poweramp is an odex application. ou just have to go to the /data/app folder using root explorer and delete the com.maxmpz.... dex file that is still there even after the uninstallation. The installation should proceed just fine after that.
Wiping davilk cache will do the work
If you don't want to wipe cache/dalvik and you're trying to update simply go to settings>apps>all, find the app that you're trying to update, clear cache (data if you don't care about it,) and try to reinstall the app. Worked for me.
Also deleting your Google account, restarting, and adding it back has worked for me in the past versions of the play store. Seems like it's a problem on Google's end.

FAQ
HOW TO PARTITION YOUR SD CARD AND USE SIMPLE2EXT (AKA S2E)
xpmode said:
You need a recovery image with ext support. If you followed jaggyjags' rooting tutorial then you most likely have it. If you don't, have a look at this thread.
I'm not responsible for any phone or sd card bricks that can happen from using this tutorial. You choose to trade minor risk to free internal memory. If you feel uncomfortable using S2E, try Link2SD.
First of all, make a nandroid backup. Optional, but if something screws up in the process, you may be forced to reflash your ROM.
Then backup your sd card by mounting it to your computer and copying the files inside to a folder in your computer. Required unless your ROM is a brand new install.
After you backed up your nand and files, boot into recovery(hold down power button, touch restart, touch recovery, touch OK(or similar)).
Go to advanced > partition SD card, and make yourself coffee. Don't panic, it will take between 5-20 minutes based on your sd card capacity and class. A 16 GB class 4 sd card took 10 minutes for me.
After that, go to menu > mounts and storage > mount USB storage. Connect the phone to your computer. Transfer everything in the sdcard folder, wait for it to completely finish and a minute to cool down, unmount, select menu > reboot phone now.
When your phone reboots, go to Google Play and install S2E. Wait for it to finish, then go to S2E menu, touch the capacitive button you use to open context menus, select Settings, enable mount as ext4 and set read buffer. Don't touch anything else. Go to home screen and reboot.
When your phone opens, give it a minute to cool down and then go to S2E again. 4 boxes should be tickable now. Tick all of them, reboot, after rebooting don't touch your phone for 5 minutes or so.
If you have problems(not enough storage) installing large(>1 MB) apps, untick Application Data box in S2E, reboot, wait a minute or so, reboot into recovery, wipe cache partition, reboot, tick the Application Data back, reboot, try installing the app again. If the installation fails again, you have no choice but unticking Application Data forever. Sad, but still you will free a lot of memory.

Wi-Fi TETHERING WITH CM9
xpmode said:
Since CM 9 for Explorer can't use ICS native Wi-Fi tethering function, we have to use a third-party app.
How to do:
Install this to your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
Press "Close" in Voluntary Donate popup that shows up.
Press the menu button and go to Settings.
Press Enable Wi-Fi Encryption so nobody can waste your valuable mobile data without permission.
Press Change Passphrase and type the network password you want to use in.
Go back and press Press to start tethering.
Grant Superuser privileges.
Log into AndroidTether and have fun.
If you get error in Activating Encryption:
Go to settings and change Encryption Setup Method to wpa-supplicant.
It's only one downside is that the network would be only protected with WEP, but since cracking it takes at least a day and unless you keep the connection up for days, it shouldn't be an issue.

INT2EXT+ INSTALLATION TUTORIAL
xpmode said:
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE S2E, LINK2SD OR SIMILAR, YOU MUST REPARTITION SD CARD AND FACTORY WIPE
int2ext+ is a relatively new script that instead of making symbolic links(Link2SD) or moving certain partitions(S2E) to sd, extends your internal storage into your ext partition in sd, which means S2E's potential space saving and Link2SD's stability combined together and gives you something to brag about.
PREPARATIONS
Download the latest build of CyanogenMod 9.
Download the latest version of CronMod INT2EXT+ here.
Open CyanogenMod 9 zip.
Navigate to /system/etc/init.d
Open INT2EXT+ zip.
Navigate to /system/etc/init.d
Add the file called 40int2ext in the /system/etc/init.d directory in CM9 zip.
INSTALLATION
Go to recovery, do factory reset and advanced > partition sd card.
Select 1024M for ext(for some reason, I selected 4096 and it only read the first 1GB-ish) and 0M for swap.
Wait until it says Done and goes to menu.
Go to Mounts and Storage.
Select USB storage and connect your phone to your computer.
Copy your modified CM9 zip file to the root of your sd.
Select unmount.
Reflash ROM.
Reboot.
After reboot, go to settings > developer settings > root access and select Apps and ADB.
Go to your adb directory and do adb shell.
Type su.
Then do:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/etc/init.d
chmod 644 00banner
chmod 644 90userinit
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Reboot.
After reboot, reboot into recovery and flash gapps.zip normally.
Then go to Applications and enjoy your new, extended internal storage.

Just remove all the apks you don't want from /system/app in gapps.zip and then flash. Don't touch anything you don't understand.

Hey, you did it. I guess I missed this one too. Thank you so much. Tu estas un dev.
Edit: Ok, there is 71mb in (uncompressed) in the cache folder of the zip, so I guess that it will still require some trimming. But comparing it to other gapps packages, I think that this will be fairly easy to do. Again... muchas gracias mi hermano. Tu estas el primo.

Nice!
It is possible to install them on /data partition instead of /cache.
Just arguing installing int2ext+ script directly on the rom (like i'm used to do) and then install gapps on data will save more space and we can wipe cache!

I believe that would require changing the mount statement and all of the symlinks in the updater script. Then your script would symlink gapps again, from /data/app to sd-ext. Double linking. I prefer the /cache method. It's hard enough to fit all my user apps in /data, even with link2sd, or some script. I noticed that somehow the /cache/dalvik-cache folder is empty. And the only other subfolder of /cache that seems to contain anything is recovery (log, 16kb). I just don't see anything that would need to be wiped.

[Noob][Q] Link2sd and wiping cache?
I would like to flash this /cache gapps.
Just two questions that I am not sure about what can happen:
- Can I use link2sd to link whatever apps to /sd-ext? Will it leave the gapps in /cache in place untouched or in some way link2sd interfere with it?
- Is the /cache partition used the same that will be used for app caching? What happens if I clear cache by mistake? That is, from recovery, or from any app that has "clear cache" option (e.g. link2sd, Titanium Backup etc etc)? Will I have to reinstall gapps, or it's a separate /cache partition?
Awesome idea, the low storage in p500 sucks...
Individual app caches are largely stored in /data/data/, so for clearing browser cache (big one) will have no effect on /cache partition. Link2sd will also not effect gapps (which have usually been installed to /system in the past). It will only link user apps (/data/app/) , or system apps that have been converted to user apps. Yes, wiping /cache from recovery will effectively uninstall gapps. But with this installation I haven't found ANYTHING in /cache that would need to be wiped.

After installing these gapps, the only working buttons are power and home and latinime FC's!( I removed libcomm-jni.so and gtalk libs)

Yeah, I had fc also. But Latinime is not in gapps. It's in the rom. I previously had a problem with one of rashed's gapps packages, which installed an incompatible libjni_latinime.so. But this package doesn't do that. I fixed this by installing a trimmed version as a user app, and it's lib into /system/lib. Buttons? Don't know. But I did take latinime.apk (23mb) out of /system. So possibly it's a space problem.

@borchaniz
Well... I was wrong about latinime. It is the gapps. Specifically, the symlinks in the updater script. Two symlinks (libjni_latinime.so and libjni_latinimegoogle.so) are written to /system/lib/ overwriting the former. But these libs do not exist in /cache/gapps/lib/. So either edit updater script, to remove those symlinks, or copy libjni_latinime.so to the zip before flashing. Still don't know about buttons yet.

I got same problem- performed full wipe, then flashed rom (cm10.2 from Rashed's thread: and gapps following instructions in op.
Then got the problem with buttons not functioning and keyboard either fc or not showing at all.
So, I flashed rom again, this time with mini gapps by Rahulsby and everything works fine.
However, I prefer of course to have gapps linked to /cache so I hope we manage to nail what's causing the problem..

Yeah, something that I did during my previous installation allowed my buttons to work correctly. But I haven't had the time yet to go back and research everything that I did. It could be system space, as the gapps does write a little bit to /system. Or it could be another symlinked lib. But we will find the cause. Just need a little time...

The problem is fixed for me thx a lot(button problem is fixed too) I just verified all symlinks one by one and made sure their apps and libs exist and now everything is OK!
