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!

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:

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 know this is an older thread, but I wanted to throw in my 2 cents and say that changing back to emulated/0 also fixed it for my Nexus 4 on the latest cm10 nightlies.
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
Depending on what rom I'm using, the misc folder will have anywhere from 3.5gb to 6gb. When I go into folder to delete items nothing shows that amount at all. I have tried backing up to SD card and formatting and its still there.
Any idea on how to clear out these items for the extra space? Or if they are important and I need them? What are they exactly. Thanks in advance.

What folder do you mean? Whats the path? Cuz I have no 'misc' folder on either SD or Ext SD
There is no folder but when I go into settings and storage it show misc files using 3.9gb and when I click on it doesn't show what's taking it up or where it is.

That's what the second screenshot is. After I hit Misc thats the screen that shows up. This doesn't add up to the 3.95gb it says and that pic shows all, there is no scroll.

I would assume any that come with bloatware. Being yours is a custom rom I would think any apps that come with it would be under apps. But since verizon and samsung have a bunch of stuff that you just can't uninstall by default they probably just hide them under misc

Have you run an AOSP ROM? Is the 'misc' files still there then? I'd flash back to my TouchWiz ROM right now but I'm in the middle of downloading a ton of shiat.
The funny thing is that I wasn't even sure TWRP did it. Im going on what someone else said. I know the stock recovery does and CWM doesnt... that's about it... lmao

Thanks but this only shows what I have downloaded. Even if I don't download anything on a fresh install I still have this misc folder.
I'm thinking it has to do with the bloatware

I am facing similar issue. In my case I have had a small 500 MB left on my Phone then ran CWM nandroid backup which failed due to limited space (and I lost those 500MB), then I freeed up some 500 MB space and installed TWP recovery and tried backup with it which failed too and I lost those 500MB too. Then I switched back top CWM recovery and moved pictures to external SD-card now I have got 800MB but I am sure there are some temp files two previously failed backups. Any ideas where to find them? I thought they would be MISC files which are 4.51GB on my SGS3.

Just a small update, I am not sure what it could change but after fiddling with hidden and system files I just realised that Misc files dropped to 605MB. :laugh:
Sorry guys but I really do not know what happened, I did not even restart the phone, not sure!
BTW I am on [XXUGMK6][4.3][CWM] Sammy's 4.3 BTU (Deodexed/Rooted/Zipaligned/Busyboxed/Init)

An update:
Having almost 5GB free space I tried to backup my phone again which is failed backing up the Data (not sure why CWM 4.0.x.x does do it) and Misc. Files grown to 5.56GB leaving me 282MB free space only. I check the content of /clockworkmod/backup folder and it is empty! Any thoughts?

I've flashed a new ROM and restored the app from Google Play.
Among them, Titanium Backup and it's Pro key.
First I've saw the error "not enough free storage".
Then uninstalled both the app and the key. Reinstalled.
Wipe dalvik cache and cache...
Nothing works more.
I can install but it always shown Version Pro (donation) - Thank you! but I cannot backup anything.
P.S. I do not have an .odex file in system\data folder (as suggested in other threads).
What can I do?

yes, thats where i was, but it did not detect the legacy location and give me that option like it normally does. Tried editing the post after I figured it out, but I had to wait 5 minutes then didnt care any more lol. In the screen where you select to scan or use current, the back button goes up a level in the directories, so I just had to manually navigate to the proper location

Sadly This did not help me either. It's a root app — why not use root power to write to the SD card?

Several fixes have suggested so far and different fixes have helped different people. So here an additional option wich migth help.
I moved the backup folder from it's previous location to /storage/B3EC-1310/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/Backup using adb shell which is a lot faster then using a file manager which moves every file in a directory separately.
The B3EC-1310 is the ID of the SD card which will be different for every SD card.
Then I changed the location in Titanium Backup itself as well. That works for now but is still not perfect. I guess I need to change from the AOKP rom to a rom which does not protect the SD card.

if i may know, what makes it imperfect? is there something bothering you during backup / restore?
and one more thank you for your help, its solution for me
I hope I am just doing something stupid, but....I cant get titanium to restore from my backups on my Verizon S6.
Once rooted, I backed up all my apps and data and archived copies of them on my server.
When I try to restore any app that I had removed, titanium just freezes at "Restoring App+data" screen...no progress.
If I reboot the app shows up in drawer, but is fails...reporting " Unfortunately "" has stopped.
The app I wish to restore is the voicemail app, because I lost voicemail notifications....I believe it is the culprit.
I have tried other system apps as well....none will restore.
When I force a reboot, I do get a screen that "android is upgrading", it is finding some of the restored app. On boot it shows in drawer....but will not run.
Any ideas?
Been using TB for years...and purchased it the day I learned it existed. Never had a problem before.
Have tried the suggestions in the help section of the TB app......no difference.

Same here. just tried it to see if it would work but it sat at the same spot for about an hour. i rebooted and have yet to try again. Want to do a factory reset, but would like to restore. Maybe a fresh start on clean rom will be good for me though.
Same here. 0% progress and nothing. Rebooted 3 times, nothing.
Its strange that only we three have posted on this issue!?!
I have tried many different settings, still no luck.
On another note, I was able to convert one user app to a system app and it runs. (WiFi Analyzer).
Also, tried converting a system app, Dual Clock, to a user app. Didn't work.......it just disappeared like it was uninstalled.
Cannot be restored.
This is my last work day of the week so I am hoping to toy with it over the next few days. Surprised it is only us though.
Let us know if you find anything!
Will do.
I'm on Clean Rom and have no issues using a backup I did while on rooted stock.
I'm on rooted stock and just did a backup, removed an app, then restored the app and it's data with no issue. Wonder what the limiting factor is here? Very interesting.
edit: somebody check menu > preferences > backup folder location. Mine's set to storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup
Hmm....Mine is
Mine's set to storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup

So let us know how it goes when you try the directory I listed.
Could not map the given root
Try not selecting the first app it's trying to restore. Leave the rest

I am not sure what you mean but I am only trying to restore visual voicemail so that is the only one I checked off. The reason I am trying to restore it is because ever since I removed it I get no notification that there is a voicemail. I am looking for the cassette notification in the upper left.
I am new to this and have been banging my head and searching for a remedy. Any ideas on how to just fet the damn icon back when I get a voicemail?

You may not have a TitaniumBackup folder at that location. If not, add one and retry.
To this?
storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup

Yes. Then redo your backup and try restoring again.
And again, I'm sorry but I'm new. This location would be in Titanium of My Files? just don't want to screw it up.

It shows 450 backups under storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup
---------- Post added at 02:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 AM ----------
Ok...Found under Backup storage location 3 folders.
1) A red This folder is not writable.
2) 0
3) legacy
They both appear to have the same files in them but when I click on 0 then TitaniumBackup the line to the right of DETECT! goes to /storage/emulated/legacy/TItanium Backup. I can't figure out how to make it stay with /storage/emulated/0/TItanium Backup
Be careful here.
I just told TB to change the folder from /legacy/titanium backup to /0/titanium backup and it said it was moving all of my files to the new folder.
They are all gone now.....titanium cant even find them with a search.
