I tried downloading and installing titanium backup from the market. Gives me an error.... insufficient storage. My device is rooted and has CWM 5.0.2.7 installed. I have tried rebooting in recovery, wiped dalvic cache and reflashed with p6800_recovery too. I have used my root explorer and deleted com.keramedius.titaniumbackup, but to no avail. Plenty of space in my system memory and sd card too. Any tips on solving this problem without a factory wipe?
Try modifying your platform.xml as per this post.
(Nandroid backup before you modify the file)

It doesn't work.
Read too fast I guess.
The tweak fixed the "Insuficient storage" message I got when using TB.

Did that too. I can install all other apps. Just not titanium backup. Is factory reset the only thing that'll work? That is one thing I don't wanna do.

I can't find app called Downloads in Play store.
I ve tried downgrading google play store.... doesn't help at all.
You need to go Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - All
Clear cache and data on both:
Download manager
Downloads
If this fails, I am out of suggestions, I am afraid.
Good luck!

I was having this problem on my MIUI ROM, it's generally caused by installing a new ROM without wiping.
TB was originally installed in my device before flashing MIUI update (not as system app), and after flashing the update without wiping data, i had "Titanium stop working" message, so i tried to uninstall it using MIUI App Manager, and any attemp of reinstalling it using google play or .apk file failed, i always got this problem "insufficient storage space", although I could install any other app.
I tried to go to /data/app and i couldn't find the .odex file, i tried /syste/app/ with no success, i tried wiping dalvik cache twice, restarting my phone and searching for any additional TB file in my sd card, and deleted them (there was an .odex file in Lucky Patcher folder). Well nothing happened.
After 1 hour of trying, i restarted my phone, went to google play and voila, magically it was successfully installed!
I don't know what did the trick, but i guess deleting the .odex file from Lucky Patcher folder fixed the problem
Hope i helped any googling user who is having this problemI
where is the lucky patcher folder? cant find it anywhere...whats it called
p.s. i have root explorer and have access to all folders
I think the problem arise when u uninstall off market apk under google play,
( which i did ) thus system got error. Anyway wipe was easier route. ^^

I had the same problem with my Photon and solved as: I had installed Lucky Patcher.Launched it.Then opened "Troubleshooting" menu.The last step, i clicked "Remove fixes and backups".That fixed it.Hope it helps.
Maybe a bit late for this. I've had a similar issue. I found that going into Data/App with a root explorer and deleting the .ODEX file of the app your trying to install. It then updates through market without the error message.
Someone please help. I have Titanium Backup instilled, but whenever I try to make any backup I get the "Backup failed: Insufficient free storage space" error, even though I have 25 GB free. I tried to delete the Odex file that was mentioned above, but it's not there. Even if I uninstall and reinstall Titanium Backup, I still get the same error when I try to create a backup. I saw someone mentioned Lucky Patcher. What is that and where do I find it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I am using stock rom on rooted htc explorer, I tried installing a2sd on it through guide on Darktremor official facebook page but i always get an error meaning I'm not able to install it.
My sd card is ext3 partitioned. I tried installing beta02, using gingerbread. Can anyone tell me how do I install it?
i dont think it will work on stock rom because stock rom doesn't support init.rc script.
may developers can help you in this case

Sent from my HTC Explorer A310 using xda premium
to run a2sd u need 2 things
1.Init.d and a2sd supported kernel
2.app2sd scripts
Instal busybox first.. then it will work!!
I'm trying to figure this out at the moment too. I think from what I can gather what you need to do is install a custom kernel. As I understand it, most of the Explorer custom kernels should work (although not the ones for the CM ROMs etc.). Something like Cranium or Titanium should do the job.
After installing that, it should be relatively straightforward, provided you haven't already got a FAT32 partition full of apps via link2SD (which I do...).
Hope you get it working, if you manage please do post back here with what you did and how it went, as I will probably be attempting this in the next week or two and would appreciate your experience.
Alright people!
Based on trial and error method:
Step by step instruction for a2SD on stock ROM
1.nandroid backup
2.backup all apps with titanium backup
3.unlink all apps if you're using link2SD and uninstall link2sd
3.1 install busbox from play store and install it.
4.backup and then format sdcard
5.partition with ext in recovery
2gb is enough
6.flash darktremors a2sd beta4 in recovery and then flash cranium kernel #2 or 800MHzkernel or kernel from ateeq ROM
7.wipe cache Dalvik cache and reboot
8.install a2sd gui
9.see if worked in gui
10.click move dalvik 2 sdext
11.wait for it
12.then move app data to sdcard with titanium backup after every app installation
13.enjoy HTC
FAQ:
1.I get "error installing from bla bla bla.zip"status 0
A:
Take the update binary from cranium kernel #2 and put it in the beta4 zip...
Just delete the update binary in beta4 and put the binary from cranium kernel zip
2.Now I get mount requires 4 args got only 3 status bla bla bla
A:
Well this time it'll be complicated..
Now open the update script with any text editor es note editor
You'll find that in beta4.zip you have mount system and then 3 parameters like "/data , etc etc," now you have to add a fourth parameter like this mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system"); and the same way for data
If you're crazy enough, all you have to do is just copy and paste all the files in the beta4.zip in it's respective location and then give it permissions 777 (use terminal and es explorer)
And voila your zip finally installs!
That's it people!
If you don't understand anything mentioned here,google it search and search in xda until you find it.
All I can say is that it can be done and actually I'm sending this post from such a dt a2sd enabled stock ROM with 401apps in total!
Anyway all the best

But I have 593MB of linked apps...How can I unlink them into about 18MB of free space on internal memory?
Also out of curiosity, which specific kernel do you use?
Thanks for your list of steps though, should prove quite helpful if I do finally get round to doing this.
EDIT: I am starting the process. I have made a nandroid backup and Titanium Backup of all apps + data. I have also uninstalled almost all my linked apps, moved a few to internal. Hopefully in the next few days I will be able to get DT apps2SD fully functional and then restore the Titanium Backup. I shall probably use cranium #2 kernel, is this the best option?
EDIT: Why do you recommend #2 and not #3? Is #3 buggy?

Yes #3 has a major bug..
Delete all apps except essentials..after all you have titanium backup
I'd prefer the 800kernel posted by akya22 but it causes random reboots on my phone.(it might not on other phones though)

Just want to say that I have installed Cranium #2 and DT apps2SD script now, and things seem to working OK. I am in the process of restoring all my apps with Titanium (I sprung for the Pro version, so I could batch restore without clicking "Install" hundreds of times, if anyone else is doing this, I advise doing likewise), currently have about 53MB of free space (I think I maybe need to move data separately or something? I did have 82MB free earlier). But all in all, it seems reasonably successful

You need to move app data to sdcard with titanium backup-first move app data of 1 app and then you can batch move...
Btw,if someone is so poor enough,know that you can batch restore apps with free version of ROM toolbox lite and batch restore data with titanium backup

I ended up opening terminal emulator and typing "a2sd datasd", which did the job just fine. Plus this way I believe it should automatically be done for all future apps.
As for extracting apps from nandroid: Yes, it would appear so.

I'm on NeoRom v3 where Titanium backup is pushed as a system app, wanted to uninstall it, tried through several applications since several methods i tried didn't work and i think i partially deleted the app, but it's still coming back lol
It is still in apps list in the default settings menu but it's not among the other apps in apps drawer. When i try to install my version of titanium bckup, it doesn't except it.
What to do? Is there any tutorial for uninstalling system apps?

System apps could be uninstalled simply by deleting apk file and .odex file(if exists) from /system/app/.
Try deleting those files and reboot phone if you didnt already tried.
Not to mention, take backup since you are playing with system apps..
Now it's seems uninstalled but I can't install titanim bakcup again, it goes FC before even opening, like i deleted something in system that i shoudn't. blerg, nevermind, tnx for help

Interesting, what are all the files in the data/delvik-cach/profiles folder? I deleted them all and they did rebuild.
Titanium has worked fine with backups and restores for me, but I have also had some trouble with uninstalling system apps.
It seems titanium doesn't work well with apps under /system/priv-app or /system/vendor/app. I was able to uninstall apps in those folder manually without problems.

I guess technically its not a dalivik cache because it is using ART now, but there is definitely still a cache in the /data/dalvik-cache folder. Maybe someday they will rename it to art-cache...

I struggled to figure this out - I have stock Lollipop rooted, and TB just will not do backups on the external SD - it complained of insufficient free storage.
There is no discussion of this on the TB Wiki, but I did find there is a permissions setting that would fix this issue for KitKat. It worked for me with stock Lollipop.
The app you need is NextApp SDFix. I would have posted a link but the forum software prevents me. It is in Google Play...

and/or
Allow for OTA installations down the road?
Short answer is no. And you certainly can't do it without wiping everything else. Repartitioning Android partitions is not for the faint of heart. It takes a lot of knowledge and can easily brick your device.

Stock Google OS comes with a ton of crap on /system that really belongs on /data. You delete all those apps, then download them from the playstore. 300ish MB free on /system.
I wrote a script to do this here, or you could use @vomer CleanRom that gets rid of some crap. My script (from memory) keeps stock keyboard, stock camera, and a stock launcher. Everything else is gone and can be reacquired through the playstore, the way it should have been from the beginning.
If it bothers you, could could use TiBu to back up that app data before you delete them, then restore after playstore install.
Who cares about OTA? Really not of concern.
Thank you for putting me on the right track. What I wound up doing was converting a couple of the apps that are baked into the stock ROM from system to user apps with TiBu. Worked like a charm!
awesome ...

Same issue with CM13
I'm facing low system space when installing CM13.
The ROM installs correctly. However, when I go to flash GAPPS, I get a low system error.
How can I fix this?
Flash back to stock, perform a factory wipe, flash twrp, flash cm and gapps. Hopefully, those fixes the issue.
