Every time I install the new version CM 7.2 from its official site Titanium backup starts to FC every time I start it. I simply un-install and install it again. But a strange issue happened after I updated it to 1/7/12 version of CM 7.2. After un-installing it since it was giving me the FC problem. When I tried to re install it, it gave me the error of insufficient storage space. I have 66 MB and 181 MB in my Internal and SD card memory respectively. I even tried installing a downloaded copy of it from the net but it showed the same problem. Isn't this much space enough for the installation? I have managed to do it with less in the past. What seems to be the issue?

I have bought a new 16gb Kingston SD card. I partitioned it 11GB FAT32 and the remainigng ext4.
I rooted my HTC Desire, wiped it, installed StarBurst and then installed Data2SD. So far so good. The phone booted back up and all seemed well but accessing apps was slow. I then tried downloading an application from the market and got the error "Sorry, there is not enough space to install this application".
I checked and my SD card is showing 11gb free space and my internal memory is showing 3gb.
Has anyone seen this problem?
Many Thanks
Formatted both partitions and reinstalled Staburst Lite 1.2.0 and getting same error. As the phone recognises there is space, could there be a permissions problem?
When you flash Starburst, it sets the permissions just before it finishes the install. You're ROM might be bad, you should try downloading the full one. Doing a factory reset. Flashing the ROM. Then rebooting and flashing the App2SD install and reboot again. Hopefully things work out for you. I'm having problems with Starburst too.
I completely wiped and reformatted SD partitions, downloaded the lite ROM (had tried standard) and installed that. Same problems, the phone seen the 3gb internal memory but I couldnt install apps. It did however download the update for google maps and install that automatically. Even after that if I tried getting anything from the market I got the no space error.
When I had the standard ROM installed, I evntually tried the fix permissions button in ROM manager. It did 170ish tasks but didnt fix the problem. This was my first attempt at flashing my Desire. I have learnt a fair bit already about it and done plenty of googling and reading.
I have installed Oxygen for now but would like to get starburst working to try out this performance boost it boasts.
Ok, I gave StarBurst another go, reduced my ext4 partition down to 1gb from 3.x gb and it works now. Maybe a restriction to what size it can work with.
Hi there, I am having memory issues with adobe flash.
I had flash 10.1 installed, and about 78mb free memory.,
when 10.2 came out I did the install from the market (silly me did not do a nandroid backup first)
After installing 10.2 my memory went down by about 12 mb. to 62 - Which was strange as I thought that the new version of flash would be roughly the same size and overwrite the old files.
Then I realised flash 10.2 and sense has an issue that crashes sense/browser when you exit, so I un-installed flash 10.2
I did not get my 12mb ram back.
I thought perhaps it would clean up it's self if I put 10.1 back on there (I did a nandroid backup this time) however that took me down to about 50mb. (which is where it stayed after installing 10.1..)
I did a nand restore to get back to 62mb, however I would LOVE to know where this memory is going. I cant find any of the files that are inside the flash apk on my phone - and yes, I am looking in the phone memory not the EXT or SD user partition
Any ideas?
I have also cleaned the cache using cache cleaner, deleted the davic cache etc... rebooted a number of times...
Where the hell does Flash put 12mb of crap to eat up my memory? and why does the memoryt go down 12mb every time you install it?
I was thinking that it perhaps makes a 'backup' of previously installed files, which would account for a 12mb drop in memory every install - but cant find where it puts these...
Warm regards in advance for an answer!

(I am running a HTC desire, with the insert coin Desire HD rom, but from what I have read around different forums, this is not a device/rom specific issue)
So I have had CM10 on my phone for probably 8 months now (almost since I got the phone) and have had no issues with the ROM whatsoever.
I got a notification about an updated version of CM10 today and went ahead and downloaded and installed it, but when I finished the update, I had no personal data left on the phone, could not set up accounts to recover the data, could not (and still can't) recover backups through ROM Manager, and cannot recover backups through CWM. I get an error message which I can't remember at the moment and leads to a bricked phone upon reboot until I do a fresh install of CM10.0.
I read after I started having the issues that I wasn't supposed to directly upgrade from the CM Updater with an S3, but it was already too late. Supposedly the issue is something along the lines of an emulated version of my phone's internal storage? If that makes sense. So whenever it's pulling a piece of information it's looking in the spot it should be in, but on a non-physically-existent SD card, essentially. That's what I gathered anyways.
I have a 32gb external SD Card that is also in use with my S3. I have tried moving my ROM Backups to there and recovering from the External SD Card, but the same error message occurred, although ROM Manager was at least able to find the backups after they were moved (I also had to change the setting and request that it prefer to look through an external SD Card).
So I have a usable ROM as far as the software itself, but I no longer can use any accounts or information that is stored with them or any of the same widgets (not a game-breaker) as I was able to previously. Is there a way to fix this? I've never just been completely stuck before >.<

Just to be clear, you're saying to try and flash CM10.0 and then do not update when prompted from the notification? The other part was clear enough lol.
Edit: Tried the above and did not fix the problem, but I didn't use fastboot specifically because I have a Samsung phone.
The error I'm getting is "unable to mount /system" when I try and restore a backup.
Bump. Still haven't figured this out.
Problem solved.
Re-flashed CM10.1; doing full data, cache, and dalvik wipes before and after the flash; and the problem was corrected.
Recently switched to CM11 nightly, and while trying to install some app, I got insufficient storage message. Now what the.... ????
1) I started reading forum after forum, some suggested to clear, davlik cache and cache from recovery, don that did not helped.
2) Others suggested to delete everything from /data/app-lib/app-path/lib but none of my app's had LIB sub-directory in /data/app-lib/app-path/
3) Others suggested to use Lucky Patcher to get rid of unused odex files. Done that but no odex files found.
4) Other suggested to get rid of applications cache, done - no result.
5) Dumpstate/logcat does not exists (no such directory as /data/log )
I still have over 450 Mb of storage available on the phone, but I cannot install any app.....
This drives me mental.
Any ideas please?
Thanks.

Do a clean install.
How?...
Do a factory reset and flash the last snapshot. I think the last one was M7.
If your problem persists after that, you're dealing with a hardware issue.

Thanks for the answer
I did a full data wipe and I installed CM 10.2 stable, annoying enough google failed to restore to the device, so I had to redo everything. Anyway even with CM 10.2 after a FULL wipe I'm still facing the same issue. My device reports that I have more than 500 Mb free space, but I cannot install new software, however I can copy and download to it without any problems....
It's not a major think I cannot leave with out, just it's quite frustrating...

i've been running cm11m7 on my relay for about a month now, and even with a bunch of apps installed, and letting touchdown (my work email app) use internal storage for emails and attachments, i still have 3.5gb free on internal.
my guess is you have a ton of large apps using up all your internal storage.
how much free space do you see when you go into settings/storage immediately after you do a clean install of CM? skip the google account stuff during first-time setup so it doesn't try to sync apps/etc, so you get a good, accurate measurement.
for reference, mine shows a total of 5.06gb, with 3.52gb available. 1.51gb used by apps, 2.31mb pictures, 352k audio, 5.5mb downloads, 102mb cached, and 7.82mb misc. that's not counting my SD card, which doesn't have any apps on it. just MP3s, pictures, backups (titanium) and other misc files i keep around for work. i'm thinking after a fresh install, you should have at least 4.5gb free.
when i go into apps and sort by size, firefox (surprisingly) takes the most at 307mb, then google text to speech with 263mb (because i downloaded the high quality english pack), then touchdown at 100mb, chrome at 78mb, onenote at 64mb, kindle at 56mb, and it just goes down from there.

I'm not so sure it's a hardware issue.
Dear OP:
Question 1
Are you still having this issue? If not, what was the workaround?
Question 2
What app are you using in order to download and install the software you're installing?
Question 3
What's the exact error message you're getting? Please provide a screenshot if possible.
Question 4
The Google Play store definitely requires 500 megs free before it will install anything. Other software installation methods may also have their own odd requirements.
500 mebibytes equals 524.288 megabytes.
Let's round that number (524.288) up to 550 megs.
Try freeing up 550 megs, then try installing a small app (one which requires 3 MB of storage space or less). Can you install it successfully?
Did you manage to solve the issue , i too have the same problem . I have more than 5gb free on internal storage
I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P3110 (7.0") and I installed the cyanogenmod version 10.1.3-p3110 with the 3.0.31-CM-gac1803e kernel. Since today I am unable to install some apps. The app manager tells me I used up 2.6GB of the internal storage and Ive got 2.0GB free.
When I try to install the YouTube app or the Root Browser app the play store puts out an error telling: Insufficient storage available. However when I try to install the ShopSavvy Barcode Scanner app all goes fine. Also installing apps by putting apk's in my download folder via laptop seems to work fine.
Before this problem occured I fiddled around with the format tool AParted for my external sd, and the link2sd app. I deleted both of them, but the problem is still occuring.
Any help on this issue?
Here a catlog screen of the errors occurring when i install root browser. Similar error on youtube install.
