How to get over Insufficient Space in android - General Topics

hey guys, it took me a long while to figure out what "Insufficient space cannot install" meant.
FIRST: IT IS ON ONE OF THE DIFFERENT PARTITIONS ON YOUR ANDROID. THIS DOESNT MEAN THAT YOU STILL CANNOT INSTALL IT.
SECOND: These partitions may be:
System
Storage
Internal
External
etc...
THIRD: of these, one is filled up and unfortunately your phone is trying to install the app on this partition itself.
like this one time, i had 400+Mb on my "System" partition, but never was able to install anything on it. finally i uninstalled many apps just to install one. I thought its a market error, but the error lies in MARKET NOT TELLING US WHICH PARTITION IS FILLED.​
FOURTH: upto today, i had no clue about the options provided by android, there is an option to choose where to install apps. my micro SDCARd of 8gb was filled, and i was unable to install 300kb apps, but could install 4mb,10mb+ apps. i did not know this was the reason(micro sdcard filled). well i came across "8 Simple Steps to Fix 'Insufficient Storage Available' on Android" and not even 8 steps will be required if you already have ADB shell. search for this on google, coz im not allowed to post links! yet
If you used ADB shell before with your phone, just go there and type:
Code:
adb shell pm get-install-location
mine returned 2
meaning all this while it was trying to install in my sdcard. I don't know how this was set.
i changed it to 1 using
Code:
adb shell pm set-install-location 1
and now i can install peacefully on my system partition with 400 mb left!
hope this helps all those poor souls out there who had been stuck in this nightmare !!

nice tip
'get-install-location' isn't available on 4.3.3 apparently, but you can still set the install location...
Code:
usage: pm [list|path|install|uninstall]
pm list packages [-f] [-d] [-e] [-u] [FILTER]
pm list permission-groups
pm list permissions [-g] [-f] [-d] [-u] [GROUP]
pm list instrumentation [-f] [TARGET-PACKAGE]
pm list features
pm list libraries
pm path PACKAGE
pm install [-l] [-r] [-t] [-i INSTALLER_PACKAGE_NAME] [-s] [-f] PATH
pm uninstall [-k] PACKAGE
pm clear PACKAGE
pm enable PACKAGE_OR_COMPONENT
pm disable PACKAGE_OR_COMPONENT
[B]pm setInstallLocation [0/auto] [1/internal] [2/external][/B]
EDIT...
ah-ha - 'getInstallLocation' is available ... so...
Code:
pm getInstallLocation
in my case it returns 0 (auto)

library linking error

I tried this but I am getting a linking error. "Could not load needed library
libandroid_runtime.so for app_process." I fear something is seriously hosed.
I can't update / install anything.
Bummer

Good
Good tutorials, i will reconsider, tks

First off, I'm really sorry for resurrecting this thread after so long, but since this has something to do with what I'm dealing with, I think it wouldn't hurt posting here, and besides the post reply button was still available, so...
Anyway, LG user here. I'm currently using a LG G2 derivative model aka LG G2 Lite (for Brazilian users only), which is running stock Android v 4.4.2.
I've installed JDK, Android Studio, SDK tools, all my drivers, enabled USB debug, went through the commands successfully , and now the phone outputs "2" to the 'adb shell pm get-install-location', which is external SD. On top of that, according to AppMgr III, I got:
1.1GB used size out of 1.5GB (25% remaining) - internal
1.1GB used size out of 1.5GB (25% remaining) - /storage/emulated/0
1.7GB used size out of 29.5GB (94% remaining) - /storage/external_SD
As you can see, there's plenty of space, so how come the Play Store won't let me install anything at all? I mean, I can't even download the Twitter app which is less than 50MB (as far as I remember).
I've been searching for an answer and asking away for almost a month. Running out of ideas.
I already tried removing the Play Store Services' updates, downgrading it to the stock version, nada. I can't help but wonder what I did was half the solution, is there anything else I need to do in order to make Play Store install applications on the external SD card? What's left to do?
Could someone please shed some light on this issue? I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Thanks.

freezing

can someone tell me how to freeze and which app i should use for that? also a list of which apps are safe to freeze please!

You can download a Titanium Backup from play store, you can do a lot of things with it including freezing of apps, and for the apps to freeze it depends on which one you seldom use. i usually freeze google maps as i didn't use it and email. and just don't install apps that u don't really want or it's not necessary to save you from freezing them..
App quarantine, its on playstore

The Android package manager is available as pm from the command line of a running phone (Android needs to be up, not just recovery). That should also do it, as well as a few other things.

those in GROUP. Options:
-g: organize by group.
-f: print all information.
-s: short summary.
-d: only list dangerous permissions.

pm list instrumentation: use to list all test packages; optionally
supply <TARGET-PACKAGE> to list the test packages for a particular
application. Options:
-f: list the .apk file for the test package.
pm list features: prints all features of the system.
pm path: print the path to the .apk of the given PACKAGE.
pm install: installs a package to the system. Options:
-l: install the package with FORWARD_LOCK.
-r: reinstall an exisiting app, keeping its data.
-t: allow test .apks to be installed.
-i: specify the installer package name.
-s: install package on sdcard.
-f: install package on internal flash.
pm uninstall: removes a package from the system. Options:
-k: keep the data and cache directories around after package removal.
pm clear: deletes all data associated with a package.
pm enable, disable, disable-user: these commands change the enabled state
of a given package or component (written as "package/class").
pm get-install-location: returns the current install location.
0 [auto]: Let system decide the best location
1 [internal]: Install on internal device storage
2 [external]: Install on external media
pm set-install-location: changes the default install location.
NOTE: this is only intended for debugging; using this can cause
applications to break and other undersireable behavior.
0 [auto]: Let system decide the best location
1 [internal]: Install on internal device storage
2 [external]: Install on external media
so this can help freeze unwanted apps and other things?

Yes, though Titanium Backup should probably be something you own in any event, I'd start with it. TiB is a lot easier to use than pm unless you're already digging into the depths of your ROM from the command line.
If you're using a KJ6 2.3.6 GB ROM you may not need to freeze anything. Try FB's KJ6 debloater :

Nevermind... I just found out I delete the virus previously . I did so much stuff with the cellphone, I think what got rid of it was a "Format" I applied with the PC. Because I plugged in my cellphone and my laptop, browse its files and find the malware, and I try to delete it but it say that I was not allowed, so I just select the cellphone and did a "quick format" you know? That thing you do with the USB Flash drive, and i did, and later I found this website and I tried what you said and on the screen appear a message saying not found.... I just right now check the system apps with root brower and I cannot find the malware, even with my ikarus antivirus! Im so happy! Thank you anyways this is such a helpfull blog... Im still going to run some scans though, to really make sure the malware is gone for good! thanks again

I rooted mine and all hell broke loose. Insane lag and tons of fc's. Then I couldn't install anything and WiFi calling won't work.
Followed all instructions and even watched a video. Eng boot installed fine but trying to get root is another story. After pushing root via adb it says Success then phone automatically reboots. SuperSU is installed, but root checker says there is not root. Also starting up titanium back up it cannot detect root either.
I have re-downloaded and pushed the files about 4 additional times without success. Any ideas? Thanks in advanced.

I Rooted mine using the moded Odin and using The OCTOPLUS. The only thing you might be having trouble is installing SuperSu. On The ROOT.BAT file theres a couple of coding errors.
Well Nothing Is written wrong... it just that you need a couple of adb wait for device because the device reboots in a couple of lines...:laugh:
Make a new bat file with this code
adb wait-for-device
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system
adb shell mount -o rw,remount rootfs /

So making new root bat with the added lines of add wait-for-device did not work. After it rebooted and the start up was complete it randomly rebooted once before I could check the root status. When it booted back up again root checker showed no root.
On a side note any have the PD8 firmware? It won't download to my phone for some reason. And I'm using my surface pro from work to do all of this and can't connect to my wifi with it. I have PB8, would it be safe to down grade via Odin then start fresh with the process if nobody has the PD8?
Wiped cache and tried again. Got this before it told me there was no root this time.
As soon as I posted my last post root checker asked for root permission. I granted it and checked root status again. It says I'm good. Thank you for the help.

Oukitel WP5 Pro

Hi everyone!
It is very necessary to get root on Oukitel WP5 Pro!
All that has happened so far is to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP.
Current firmware - OUKITEL_WP5Pro_EEA_V03_20200723_20200723-1929
Can someone help with getting root?
Perhaps it will be possible to port andoid 9 from another device with a mt6762d processor and get root at 9 first, and then upgrade to android 10?
but one guy say:
"Android 10 apps or pretty much anything from prevents mounting system as R / W. Yes, even if you are rooted."
I don't know if there is still some way to get root, albeit with downgrade to android 9.
Hi @aviplokos84, I guess we're on the same boat. Did you install TWRP by Mehanik6? That's the only one I found but it's not working properly. When I start it after a clean factory reset, it works. But once I have installed my apps and such if I reboot into recovery it gets stuck at the TWRP logo. I repeated the process 3 times and I always ended up at the same point.

Yes, I was able to install recovery by Mehanik6.
it did not immediately turn out exactly as in his instruction, not immediately possible to unlock the bootloader.
Each time I enter the recovery, its read-only access, changes are not saved. This stupid section Super!
Maybe you should double-check everything.
Or try to boot into the recovery from the bootloader?
I will look into it. Because I don't understand why I can get access to the recovery only the first time. However on that occasion I managed to successfully install the patch to remove the orange state warning.
This is a very strange phone. I can't figure out how to change all the pictures on the lock screen... Is the Oukitel launcher any good? A lot of sources say the phone has NFC but mine doesn't seem to. (also heard the extra cameras' are fake?)
Edit: I love the phone though, I find most phones too thin lol.

i know how magisk works (sort of), i have rooted my previous phone a redmi note 4, this one on the other hand is my new phone and the patch part i don't quite understand the procedure, and since it's my working phone i just wanted to avoid bricking the damn thing.
i'm finding a lot of conflicting posts, i just need those pointers on how it's done, and was wandering if there are any custom roms for it at all.
thanks for the fast reply anyway
h2ikm8
This procedure is delicate and you take FULL responsability for what you do. Be aware of that.
1.You want to download the firmware from Oukitel site and familiarize with flashtools (which is the tool to upload the firmware).
2. Then you must unlock the bootloader (you do that with adb tools using the fastboot command).
3. Copy boot.img to the root of your phone (the file is whitin the firmware).
4. With magisk you want to patch the above mentioned boot.img. Magisk will produce a patched image.
5. copy such image on your computer and upload it with flashtools to replace the original boot.img
6. At the same time you must overwrite the file vbmeta.img with an empty one (search online for this).
Done.
Ok, will try with full knowledge that if i break it...i allready bought it

1.You want to download the firmware from Oukitel site and familiarize with flashtools (which is the tool to upload the firmware).
2. Then you must unlock the bootloader (you do that with adb tools using the fastboot command).
3. Copy boot.img to the root of your phone (the file is whitin the firmware).
4. With magisk you want to patch the above mentioned boot.img. Magisk will produce a patched image.
5. copy such image on your computer and upload it with flashtools to replace the original boot.img
6. At the same time you must overwrite the file vbmeta.img with an empty one (search online for this).
Done.

@h2ikm8 I'm sorry but we're in the same boat (I got the same error). At the moment I'm waiting for a working TWRP custom recovery. I suggest you should check the twrp site for updates.

Please clarify, does the way described above works to rooting device without using TWRP ?
@df_ni The answer is yes. In fact at the moment there is no TWRP recovery actually working for this device.
But since getting root is done by Magisk, a custom recovery is unnecessary.
Thanks!
Hi,
So, is there a protocol do finally root that device ? I tried several guides, but at best my phone is now in "orange state" (it was it "red state" at some point !).
I guess that it's important to root it, only by the fact that most launchers don't even allow to add widgets !
Hi all... Until we get ROOT to this phone.
I have been using WP5 Pro as my daily driver for 9 months now, and am super happy with it.
However... After 3 months, the large 8000Ah battery didn't last as long as it should.
So I opened it up in ADB :
adb shell 'pm list packages -f' | sed -e 's/.*=//' | sort
ore
adb shell pm list packages
and took a closer look at the pre installed crap on the phone. And I was shocked by all the unnecessary s*it i found. com.mediatek.atmwifimeta : Why is all my Wifi traffic logged and sent to a remote server !!!.
To you who are interested in removing bloatware on your phone.
I put together a list of crap you can delete without affecting your daily use of the phone.
Just Copy & Paste in terminal and restart the phone.

You can Reinstall one or all apps again by putting:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.app name
With USB Debugging enabled on your phone.....
There is a lot to copy and paste, so I created a script that cleans your phone in 10 seconds from all this bloatware. Download it at the bottom of this post to your desktop, unzip it to your desktop, connect phone and double-click the Claning file.
The default launcher on this phone is terrible. Here is a good alternative...
Using Mod SMART LAUNCHER 5 PRO
You can download it here: here.... here.... ore here..... just incase here too......

Hello Oukitel WP5 pro users.
I'm facing issues that phone kills my sports tracking apps after lock let say after 30mins -+. I tried lot of fix: allow apps in DuraSpeed, disable duraspeed, don't optimize apps in battery option. Lot of stuff. Do you have any clue, where can be located some magick settings to denied phone killing apps. Maybe I set some hidden feature do to that, because issue does not exist few weeks ago. All reply are welcome.

Hi.
The problem lies in how Oukitel has set app permission. Only system apps have permission to run constantly in the background. Have a oukitel C16 pro and the same problem there. To get around that problem on that phone, I rooted the phone with Magisk, and put the app's in to the system folder and let the phone boot up with the apps I needed as system app, and problem was solved.
So I guess when ROOT comes to this phone, we can solve your problem
