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.

Maybe try clearing Google play cache / data.

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!

None of this helped. Guess I need to do a factory reset. Thanks for all the suggestion though.

I was able to find com.kermidas.titaniumbackup.Ides using my root explorer. It wasn't there initially. I wonder how it popped up today. I've got titanium backup pro installed and working now. Thanks for the solution.

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.
If you have Titanium Backup installed on your previous version, doing a non-wipe install could stop the process of Titanium Backup. You might receive a pop-up notification that Titanium Backup has stopped working (ForceClose). Reinstalling the app might lead to an "insufficient storage" error — when an app is uninstalled or modified, it leaves a .odex residue file which causes the error. So all you have to do is delete the .odex file of Titanium Backup in the system.

Here's how to do it:

4- Now you can install Titanium Backup again!

If you have done like me, and tried deleting ODEX files, changing path of folder to /legacy and trying reinstall and still get insufficient free space, then changing file location back to emulated/0...should solve the problem..
OH BTW i'm running PA 3.99 RC-2 with franco's r184.. so if your running earlier versions of those, you may need to stick with emulated/legacy.. all in all, try both paths and which ever works for you is where your power lies

I know this might sound weird but..my app folder is nowhere to be found ANYWHERE which kind of freaks me out. I did manage to find a few .odex files hanging around which I deleted but the apps that were experiencing this error was facebook messenger and kii keyboard. I only found a .odex file for kii keyboard which I deleted but it still did not fix the storage error.
I don't have this odex file but I do have this issue.
good job boy

I am on SlimBean 4.3, and I am now faced with the fact that I will have to reinstall everything. No solution on this page has worked. I don't have Odex files, I've done literally every suggestion and with the newest TIBU I've come to the conclusion that nothing but a full wipe may work. If anyone can think of anything else please let me know.
I am in the same boat. Have a HTC One with CM 10.2 and Nothing works
I tried backing up from Titanium Backup, but whatever I tried, it kept complaining about insufficient space.. Tried changing the backfolder to either /storage/0/TitaniumBackup and /storage/legacy/TitaniumBackup, but it still failed. Had to resort to backupping to a USB-OTG stick..
Any settings I need to change or something?
May be you bro, I tried it on my N5, 4.4.2 and I had no issue. I'm assuming you do have plenty of space? You have 6.1.4.3 running?

I was able to delete the Titanium Backup folder from/storage/emulated/0 But now as I cannot make a backup it can't make a new folder and I no longer have a backup folder location, even if i make a folder via Root Explorer it still can't detect it....

Hi guys, I've googled & looked around various threads on here but cannot find a good match to my query so apologies if it has already been asked before!
Anyway, I have just upgraded to the Xperia Z3 from the original Z, I want to now back up and transfer everything over to the Z3 but not sure what is the best/easiest way to do this? I am not sure about Xperia Transfer app as that doesn't support transferring apps over unless it is an iphone, backup & restore from pc companion I am also confused on as I am not sure if that means you restore & backup on the SAME phone??
So what is the correct way? Many thanks for any help!

Download Helium from play store and on to a PC and follow the instructions. It should be able to backup most app's data ready to restore on to the z3.
Inevitably some apps will fail to backup but unless your Z is rooted I believe Helium is your best shot.
You can alternatively connect to the PC suite and transfer data. PC suite has a built in data transfer tool.
Thanks both for the advice, I used Xperia Transfer Desktop app in the end as the non desktop 1 wouldn't work and always got stuck on step 5! I am impressed that everything including my device calendar got sent over too which was another main thing I wanted! Now all that's left to transfer are apps - I remembered doing it somewhere where everything including data were moved but can't remember how. So may give helium a go as my original Z is rooted.
If you're rooted, best option is titanium backup (Z3 has to be rooted for that too)
Be careful restoring system apps though, because the system apps of the Z probably won't work correctly on the Z3

What!"!!
You have root... use TB to backup, then put the sd card in the new phone restore it on the new phone....
Or if you do not have a sd card, take a backup, move the backup folder to your PC, then to the internal storage of your new phone and restore it
I can help, quite easy
Make sure your backup folder from xperia z is (copied to) on your SD card (for ease of use)
Place SD card with backup in xperia Z3
Open titanium backup, go to menu>settings>location backup folder.
Now all you have to do is click scan and choose to scan everywhere. Once found click on the folder and click "use current folder"
Now restart titanium backup and your backups are found and restorable

Lol I never had to use titanium in the past because I somehow managed to move stuff like saved game data across with no problem - I just wish I could remember how I did it?!
Only ever used root to change fonts & now I can't even do that as the app I used doesn't work on Z3

Thank you for the guide
But have to admit I am still confused. I basically want to backup saved game data mostly, so how would I go about doing this? I have no idea where the saved games data would be so that's why I'm struggling to locate the correct files to do this
Do appreciate the help though!
If you restore from titanium backup you have the choice to restore only data or data and the app. You don't have to know where to find the files, if you have the list on titanium you can restore. Game data included
And the data would be in the folder: Titaniumbackup

Ok, please bare with me, like I said I do appreciate the patience & help! I gotta learn somewhere
So I already have the game installed on the Z3, so do I go on my Z and click 'backup'? (choose the game of course), once that's done, I put the sd card into the Z3, then how do I restore only the game data? It looks very alien to me haa.
Yes you just click backup, then copy it to your sd card (Titaniumbackup tends to backup on internal memory)
Put the SD in your z3, point titanium backup to the backup folder like i explained earlier, in the middle tab you click the backup of your game and then choose restore data only.
That's all there is to it.
Might sound a little difficult, but really is easy as 123

The middle tab will be called backup /restore

You are awesome!
It worked, you have saved me so much time buddy, thank you so much! Now I know for future use and can see why everyone loves TB!! :good:
Your welcome if you enjoy the app make sure to buy the donation version to support the dev
Also that will enable batch backup and restore and more cool and useful functions (like the ability to sync with cloud storage which kinda makes you not needing an SD card for transferring )

Yes, definitely considering to buy, seems I can do so much more!
Btw, as you have been very helpful, you wouldn't perhaps know how to change fonts either do you? I have a vague idea but never tried it coz it got complicated to understand again lol.. & plus, know any way how to get the old styled walkman widget back? (I have a thread about it here & my many problems!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/walkman-widget-ugly-t3031514/post58868867
For the fonts I've never done it, but try fonts installer root from play store ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer)
Make sure to make a Nand backup first! (you do this from recovery)
---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------
For the Walkman thingy, i really don't know... I don't use the widget either. I always just pull down my statusbar or navigate directly from lock screen (i know my songs, and also roughly know how far i am in the song )
---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------
I just tried font installer and it works. Just make sure you make backups through recovery just in case something goes wrong!

I used to use ifont and that worked fine on my xperia z but on the z3 it just changes to italic! Anyhow I'll try look into it more, thanks for the help anyway! I have no idea what nand is either (does it just mean backup in recovery?) even if I did I wouldn't know how to restore/use lol, might stay away from anything for now in case I brick my phone!
And as for the walkman, it is driving me nuts lol..
Yes, Nand is backup in recovery, and can also easily be restored from recovery. Just take a look in recovery for 5 minutes and i think you can manage to do it yourself. It isn't difficult at all.
But as i said, the app i mentioned seems to work fine

Very nice. Took the guesswork out for me.
The Mobile Hotspot icon is part of Settings. Is there any way to safely remove this icon?

Thanks, added to OP.
I converted this to a flashable zip with a script in it, but the setup wizard gets really pissed off. Anyone know how to disable that? I've looked around and nothing I've found thusfar works. I'd like to be able to modify it so I can flash it without having to boot the ROM first.
Thanks.
Nevermind, I wasn't deleting SamsungSetupWizard.apk. If I do that, it's fine.
The 'extreme' version is attached. ACtually, don't download it yet. Well, you can, but it's not the one I Wanted to upload. I think it's still on my sdcard. I'll get to it later.
@muniz_ri, would you please add the VZW Accessories and YouTube apps to the script? I'd recommend they go under Light and Medium, respectively.
I'll of course be installing YouTube from the Play Store, but it's nice to be able to move the app to SD once it's out of ROM, plus it's not an essential app that's required immediately following a wipe.

Whenever I have the time to really go through it all, I will release a doubleplusextreme version that, ideally, will leave you with a play store and some tools. heh. What I'm going to try to do is split groups of files out from the original ROM into their own flashable zips.
OK, so I've used Extreme twice and both times, afterward, if I go to recovery, wipe cache/wipe data and reboot, the Setup app fails to complete successfully. Setup fails right after Google account setup and the app keeps restarting preventing getting to the homescreen.
Something in Extreme is not stable.
So far I only know how to get out of this loop by odin to 4.4.4, towelroot, flash OV5, then OE1 and try again.

The debloater has only been tested after the device has gone through the setup wizard.
Can anyone else validate that the extreme option makes the device unstable after a factory data reset? thx

The problem with Extreme is that it doesn't delete both setup wizards. You can use the flashable zip I posted instead--that should work.

Yeah, I vouch for that. The problem is that it doesn't delete SamsungSetupWizard _and_ SetupWizard, so one tries to invoke the other, fails, and restarts.
The flashable zip I uploaded works--unelss I uploaded the wrong one from my mess of a 'work' directory.

Thanks, I have added the setupwizard, youtube and accessories apps.
I can confirm that Extreme now accepts a factory data reset. Thanks!! This really is a great time saver.
A couple of thoughts on the script execution: I find I have to run it twice to get the list of apps to scroll in the command window and to fully clear out the apps from the device. May be associated with the timing of the USB debugging request on the device and when the commands are sent.
For future feature, it would be helpful to have a popup on the device to indicate completion and status, e.g. "x of y apps successfully deleted", etc. I don't even know if that's possible via adb.
There could be a level above "Extreme", which is basically removal of anything which is not integral to the system booting and, let's say, running apps you install which don't require Samsung-specific features/support.
Maybe call it "Ludicrous" ("Ludicrous Speed" from "Spaceballs") or "Slash-and-burn"? It should leave you with a play store and the phone app, maybe.

The tool will only show an message/error if there was an issue deleting a file, so if you go from starting the process to seeing "done!" without any error message in between you can assume there were no errors and all files were successfully deleted.
Any issue with updates in the future?
Will there be any issue with updates in the future if I am debloated? I remember debloating a while back causing all sorts of issues.

Verified. I did the extreme debloat and then a factor reset. Setup failed after logging into gmail. Only fix was to go back to NCG and root and flash back to OE1
I have a flashable zip that I have tested, and it works, but only if I use Safestrap or tell Flashfire (by using "mount common paths") to mount /system beforehand.

There has to be some stupid error in there. I also attempted to do what you did in the ROM zip with wipedata.sh, and it still doesn't work. ARGH. Feeling pretty stoked at failing to run like three commands.

Both setup wizards have to be deleted. The batch files were updated, I think.

Oh, also, there is more stuff to delete, e.g. all of the voices for SVoice. No sense keeping that around if it's deleted. There's plenty more besides that.
