[Market Fix] Not enough free space on device

REQUIRE download directory in /cache partition​
Hi to everyone,
i'm new in this section i buy today my i9003,
the first problem i encounter when install CM7 is not enought space free when i install app from market , this is my solution without formating cache or anything else
Code:
import com.peaple.disclaimer
i am not responsible for any damage on your phone, Libia war or dead SDCards
Required:
Human brain
Terminal into phone
Rooted
where's the problem?
Market ( Vending.apk ) Download the Temp apk into /cache partition under download directory , but its very small, you can symlink /cache/download to your internal SD to resolve all problem
Solution:
For first determine who create the directorys, what's my internal sdcard?
- if you use codeworkx's kernel it's mounted on /emmc ( or /mnt/emmc )
- if you use Official ROM or XXK* based its /sdcard ( or /mnt/sdcard )
(replace /emmc with /sdcard if you use XXK* Firmware )
Create dir , using File manager in your INTERNAL SDCARD not follow external_sd symlink, create cache directory, and into cache directory create market
Open your terminal, enter su
Allow Superuser request
enter into terminal this command:
Code:
cd /cache
rm -R download
ln -s /emmc/cache/market download
finish!
Offtopic, i'll very help this phone with CM7, it's beatiful phone and needed beatiful android!
Bye

your request was answered in the last sentence of his post
that's great info, THP! I'll try it next time I'm visiting the market

so we have to type the command everytime we receive the error from market or everytime the phone reboots?

I don't see that in the instructions. meaning, once you use su permissions to direct the market to use your newly created folder in the sd card, which should be able to hold lots more temporary data (based on free space) than the originally intended cache for market downloads, there will be no more "not enough free space" errors. download something big, reset your phone, then download something big again. test it and find out
edit: falex beat me
falex, so clearing cache will clear the instruction from the system's commands?

in the instruction we should:
1. remove "download" directory from cache partition
2. create "download" directory in the sdcard
3. create symlink in the cache partition to the created directory
4. clearing the cache just format cache partition (of course formatting will remove everything from cache partition, and out symlink too)
To restore symlink we just should remove "download" directory from cache partition and create symlink (we already have "download" directory on the sdcard)

Sure, i doesn't have big knowledge about driver and hardware, but i will learn and i had a lot knowledge about linux, kernel compiling, c, c++ and in last time java by school ,time a go i recompile cm7 for Acer Liquid s100 ( another cm unsupported phone ) but nothing to special...
theoretically the only differences between Android and Gentoo or another linux distro is Kernel compiled for arm arch, and build-in driver ( or modules ) if i not mistake
Kernel = C
Lower Level = C++
User App and another app = Java
but i dont think i have knowledge to do this
i can be tester ^^

after this steps , is hard to get another like error , this is permanent fix it's reset only by formatting cache partition, this is our cache partition:
Code:
Filesystem/mount/dev 1K-blocks Used Free Us
3% /cache /dev/block/mmcb1k0p3 1935128 187680 1747448 1
if your format it by recovery, you need to resymlink again

right, be sure to "swap" it on Internal SD and not external sd :3

hey....codeworkx also need people who have knowledge in c++.and java..yeah..ask him for codes

Because of this post I tried to download a file with nearly 30MB from the android market. As I replied here, it didn't work. I saw this here and wanted to try it out. But when I typed "rm -R download" the terminal emulator trow out a error message. "No such file or directory." (or something like that) What's wrong?

Are u in /cache directory when type rm -R download ?
Have you root privileges ? ( just type su )
What firmware do u use?
What market version do u use?
It didn't work because if u not remove old directory , u cant create symlink to sdcard ^^
Codeworkx need programmers

in this day im working on Offensive security courses and studying for school, for now i prefer doing tester also becouse i never had programmer linux kernel driver ^^ its too hard for me :3

As my signature suggests I am using a rooted Cranium ROM 3.1 (XXKPH)
The market is version 3.3.11 from here.
Shall I try to move the whole "/cache" folder to "/sdcard/cache" and after that create symlink at root "/"?

This is why the code fails... There is no DOWNLOAD folder in the cache directory. (atleast for us that is, I'm using stock xxkpm with a few scripts btw). Market downloads go directly to the cache folder and not in any other folder/subfolder.
I'm sure your not suppose to remove the cache folder. But why is there a need to remove the DOWNLOAD folder even if it existed? (Sorry, just learning linux) Couldn't we just proceed with linking the cache folder to the sdcard cache?
Correct me if I'm wrong: This is what u enter next after typing "su"
ln -s /sdcard/cache/market cache

I simply tried it out.
Deleting / moving cache folder does not work and so also creating a symlink fails. I also tried to symlink the "downloadfile.apk", since it seemed that this is the temporary file that gets created. I noticed that the icon was the icon of "Font Installer" which was the last app I had downloaded. But when I tried to download the 30MB app my symlink was killed and the market throw out the same error as before.

I'm so sorry, in my xxkph market download apk temp file in /cache/download, i think xxkpm is as directory as xxkph...

u can not remove /cache directory because everytime u boot system, in cache directory are mount cache partition, i dont know any solution for now, this night i ll download stock xxkpm i'll try
Anyway with MIUI , market version: 3.1.5 there is download directory under /cache , what's your market version? ^^

ok, i found where 's the problem:
i've install XXKPH stock with OLD MARKET
this is problem produce by 2.x market download apk file into /cache instead /cache/download
the only solution is update your market at least 3.1.x
EDIT1: Ok in some cases also update market it continue to download to /cache , i dont know solution , any cases if u have download directory , its ok

I tried 3.1.5, 3.2, 3.3.11 and they all don't have DOWNLOAD folder.
I also tried old market but it auto updates to 3.1.5.
Right now I just installed market 2.3.6 (according to titanium backup) from superteekz1.1 rom.
I used this rom before and extracted the market and it does not update to the newer version. Attached the vending.apk if u wanna use it.
The best feature is that u can install more than 30 mb of app from the market:
Also it doesn't use the have the downloadfile.apk file in /cache. So it doesn't use /cache? Any ideas or explanation?

I'd want to test in t but it crash...
I think it download it into data, but I'm insure

Your right, i found a 28mb downloadfile.apk inside /data/cache. Smaller download files still end up in /cache though.
So the old market seems to perform better at downloading larger market apps... why didn't they implement this in the new version? Maybe because newer phones are expected to have a larger cache?
Btw, if it's a factor, I forgot to mention that my rom is deodexed and the market app from superteekz rom was also deodexed. (sorry, don't know the compatibilities of deodexed and odexed roms and apps)

Guide to make a2sd work in custom roms

hello.i open this thread to show you how to solve a2sd not working on custom roms so you people can use your favorite rom with all the features and rom developers can continue developing of their rom and make them more and more better.
First of all the reason why a2sd dont work and ext partition doesnt mount:
for these feautures and others that dev gives as with his rom,the kernel ramdisk is modified (by xda kitchen or "by hand").so if this boot.img is not flashed into your phone,those feautures wont work.every custom rom have her boot.img into the flashable rom.zip.the thing that our rom creators and devs dont know(cause all phones are not the same) is that the boot.img in the zip doesn flash!.our phone cant flash boot.img from recovery and the reason is because in this phone kernel and recovery are in the same partition and not separately partition like most phones.
The solution:
REMEMBER THAT YOU DO IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK!
its just very simple:the only thing you have to do is to flash the boot.img that comes with your rom and the only way to do that succesfull is with Odin.(this ofcourse will give the custom bin counter 1 up because its a modified and not stock kernel).also have in mind that you have to flash it once.if for any reason you want to reflash your rom,you just do wipe data etc and reflashing the rom.zip.its not necesary to reflash the kernel(boot.img) again.its still there and will only change if you flash another boot.img or stock firmware with Odin.
So i will give two options.
1.download my PDA_S5360_kernel.tar from TermaRomGR threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520167(the mods in all of these kernel are about the same).flash it with Odin in pda field (first try without wipe anything or reflashing stock firmware first.just boot in download mode,flash with odin and reboot,it should work ok.DONT FORGET TO BACKUP YOUR ROM FIRST!JUST IN CASE!).reboot may take more time dont worry.when phone is on your ext partition should be mounted.you can try with terminal simulator:
su
a2sd check
if everything is ok you can remove your dalvik cache to your sd if you want for more internal memory free space:
su
a2sd cachesd
the phone will reboot.it will late to reopen just be patient and then your internal memory will be almost empty.but have in mind that this partition is not as fast asthe internal memory so some apps or games maybe slow a bit.
2.the other option is to flash the kernel(boot.img) that come with your custom rom.how to do that (thanks to Doky):
copy the boot.img that is inside the zip of the rom you are using.
download my PDA_S5360_kernel.tar
find in web the program total commander for windows
open t commander and in left window navigate to my PDA_S5360_kernel.tar file and get into it.in the right window find the boot.img of your rom.drag it and drop it to the left window so it replace the boot.img into the .tar file with yours.its ready.just flash it with Odin.
Some important things too that i notice from my experiments:
with busybox 1.18 your rom will not boot after nove dalvik cache to sd
it will work nice with 1.17 but its not suitable for people who want to run v6 script.for those who want to run v6 you must download busybox instaler from market and install v1.19.2.if after that you have problems with wifi try another version (1.19.3 or 1.19.4).and report back what works ok and what not so all people together can find the best setup.
Please tell to the devs of your roms to read this thread so they learn about the solution to this problem so they can create even better and better roms

I love you. I'll try this tomorrow.

Why do i have SD Card Remove Problem then when i boot back i was in the Welcome Screen where my info of google account is being ask. I skipped it then check the settings, my account was just there still. Also having this Turning off by itself problems. This was just started when i begin using a2sd supported ROMS. But when i'm just on stock or non-a2sd roms it work fine. Maybe its the boot.img?

Oh, so I can take a stock firmware from Doky73's thread and modify it thru xda kitchen and change the kernel to include just init.d support (I kind of hate a2sd at the moment)? What about ext4 file system support? Is this possible?
By xda kitchen you mean the one by dsixda, right?

just like to ask if a2sd's low memory setting would conflict with [email protected] scripts?
coz after installing a2sd in my phone with [email protected] script, i sometimes notice that memory usage would reach 240+?

1.yes its necesary to have an ext2 or ext3 partition.you can create it with skin1980 CWM recovery in advance/partition sdcard.a partition 500Mb is enough.(before do it backup everything from your sdcard to your pc because this procedure will erase everything in your sdcard.)
2.for Odin google it Odin3-v1.85.Here is how to do it:
1. you put my tar in pda field and the other remain empty(check only "Auto reboot" and "F.reset time")
2. Now turn off your Samsung Galaxy Y (just for make sure is completely off, remove the battery for a few sec and put that back)
3. Press Volume[-] + Home + Power to boot in Download Mode
4. Hold the buttons until a warning screen with choise show up.
5. Select Continue (Volume[+]), then it`s go to download mode
6. Connect the cellphone (via USB cable) to PC, wait until ODIN detect the device.
7. Click Start
8. Wait until ODIN give feedback respon PASS
it`s mean the flashing proccess is complete. Samsung Galaxy Y will auto reboot.
9. unplug the USB cable from PC/Laptop

Thanks bro, I have 2 questions more,
before flash your PDA is it necessary to go back to stock rom?
Currently I'm using V6 with busy box v1.18 on hybrid2.1, should I change it to v1.19.2?
Your link for v1.19.2 in terma rom thread is not working.

How can I restore single apps (and/or their data) from a TWRP backup?
Use TitaniumBackup, it supports TWRP! In Titanium Backup, open up the menu and select "Extract from Nandroid backup...". It will list all your TWRP and CWM backups and allow you to restore as many apps and their data as you want.
Even though all TWRP backup files carry the extension .win, they are either tar archives or filesystem images. System, data, cache and .android_secure are backed up as tar archives or gnu-zipped tar archives if compression is enabled. You can rename those .win files to .tar (.tar.gz if compressed) and extract them like a regular archive. Boot and recovery partitions are backed up as .img files using dd.

I have tried to test all recovery features and they all seem to work. I successfully flashed several different ROMs and performed backups and restores. However, there could still be bugs lurking somewhere - if you find one please report it!

Do not install this if you don't know what you are doing. Incorrect flashing of a recovery can lead to a hard brick! Bugs in the recovery could result in data loss so always have a backup! I am in no way responsible for anything you do to your phone and offer no guarantees.
For Developers
TWRP has an optional companion app called GooManager. It offers a frontend for the goo.im archive which hosts ROMs and the gapps. Unlike CWM and ROM Manager, it is completely free, developers can upload their ROMs to goo.im and users can easily flash them with GooManager. It would be awesome if developers started uploading their ROMs there!
To take screenshots inside the running recovery, use adb to dump the framebuffer and then use ffmpeg to convert the raw image to a jpeg like this:
adb pull /dev/graphics/fb0
ffmpeg -vframes 1 -vcodec rawvideo -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgba -s 480x800 -i fb0 -f image2 -vcodec mjpeg fb%d.jpg

This is a Recovery, not a ROM!
A recovery is a small bootable operating system on a seperate partition on your device. Changing your recovery does not in any way affect your running system. And when booted in the recovery you don't have access to WiFi or Bluetooth anyway.
The reason FeaMod does not work with CM9 is because it was compiled with a wrong list of partition sizes. I compiled this using arco's CM9 repository, so it has exactly the same settings, kernel config etc. as the CM9-compatible CWM that arco compiled.

looks awssum shall try flashing an xperimental.zip

Is this somewhat related to cmw touch recovery ?

You must make a backup with teamwin recovery. Maybe you can copy your CWM Backup into the Teamwin recovery folder for restore your backup.
Sorry for my english.

Awesome thanks for your work
Sent from my GT-I9001 using Tapatalk

wow...nice recovery... thanks for your work!!

This is RECOVERY it has nothing to do with any of the ROMS !!! RESTORING BACKUP from other RECOVERIES is not recommended, it will end up bricking your phone! NEVER RESTORE BACKUP WITH DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF RECOVERY, EVEN IF IT IS MADE FROM SAME SOURCE.
RECOVERY cannot be "compatible" or "incompatible" with ANY of ROM distro's.
Restoring someone's nandbackup (CM9 with arco recovery, for example) on own phone is other story.

No, it was developed from scratch by TeamWin. It is also open source and completely free unlike CWM touch which you have to buy.
You can read more at the official project website: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2

F**k the system . AMAZING WORK!!!!!!

Yay!
Awesome work! I was waiting for a touch recovery!
btw, can we flash CWM over this afterwards, just in case i want to restore a CWM backup later on?

Awesome work bro....

Yes, you can change recoveries without a problem.
For arco's CWM flash this zip file and then reboot the recovery. Later in CWM you can just flash the TWRP zip, reboot recovery and you're in TeamWin Recovery again.
This is also how I suggest people migrate their backups (if really necessary): Install and reboot into CWM, restore a CWM backup, install and reboot into TWRP, perform a backup, repeat.

Works great, just installed Arcos build 4 with your Recovery.
Awesome!

hmmm i cant explain because im not using another script, im just using mount2sd (just delete the script from directory /system/etc/init.d) and install ungaze script.
S2E = return the data and dalvik cache to internal memory, delete S2E.apk from directory /system/app and then install ungaze script

What is the difference between this and int2ext+?

I would be interested to try this, but I am a bit scared of getting bootloops. There seem to have been a few reports of that already, so maybe I would be better to go for another, more tested script?
I am currently on stock ROM with stock kernel, rooted and using link2SD with a 2nd FAT32 partition. What would I need to do to transfer everything across? (I assume install a new kernel [which one?] and create a new ext partition; how would I go about moving all the apps currently on my FAT32 partition [and their data, which is on the internal memory] to the ext partition?)

Very important: note 0:make a nandroid backup.
First backup sdcard,backup all your apps with titanium backup,delete all apps except the essentials,then move the essentials to internal memory,format sdcard and then partition your sdcard through clockworkmod recovery(advanced»partition),then install the script and then go to recovery and then install new kernel like cranium kernel #2 ,if you want to be on stock
Or else after partition directly go to jaggy ROM or cm9 flash and then install the script(delete all other script in system/etc/init.d)
And then finally,if no bootloops enjoy! Or else just do a nandroid restore-bootloops are not a big deal,if you can go to recovery and have a nandroid backup.
Always wipe data partition or factory reset in recovery for installing the script or ROM

Bro great

great job...:good::good:

Where`s the download link

Update info about recovery loop
-I don't know what reason make CWM ruin boot flags so Device will boot to recovery instead of normal boot.
to minimal the chance you should manually mount /system
-Will test on new update script. The old script marks as error in cwm error log...

Tried using custom graphics source for recovery ?

Nice waiting for it for so long....btw shudnt this be in original development section

So,I can start to install roms and other things with this recovery but just mount /system before do it?
Happy New Year!
