[Q]Tried possible fixes still "Error dwnloding app frm mrket.Insufficient space..."
Fixed the problem by reflashing the Stock Firmware.No idea what was causing the problem.
If you are facing the same problem,read it (what "Dark3n" suggested ) before proceeding for a reflash.
Hi guys,the Infamous "Error downloading app from market.There is insufficient space on the device."problem is back to haunt.I am unable to find a solution even after an intensive research and troubleshooting
When I am trying to install the applications from the Google Play Store, I am getting this error.
"Error while downloading <application_name>. There is insufficient space on the device"

While I have sufficient space (500 MB) in the internal memory.I can’t even install the small apps like Root Checker.ASUS apps are also not getting installed.
I have faced the same error in the past on my previous devices but that got resolved after wiping the cache partiton via CWM Recovery.But this time the problem is so persistent.
Things I have tried :
>Cleared cache using Clean Master and CacheMate.
1.Checked and if there's any “ .odex file” in “/data/app”.NO .odex file there.
2.Wiped cache partition via recovery.
3.Force Stopped “Google Play Store” and “Google Services”.Cleared “Data” and “Cache”
4.Force Stopped “Google Play Store” and “Google Services”.Cleared “Data” and “Cache” and uninstalled “Updates”.
5.Stop the market app.Then clear the cache from inside the task manager according to this post.
This error is annoying the crap outta me and I am at my wits end on this one.
P.S. Yes,I know,I can use "FolderMount" OR use "Link2SD" to link the apps to SDCard,I just don’t understand the point of wasting 500 MB space.That’s beyond comprehension.

(Updated to 2.21.40.44 via OTA.Do I need to "Factory Reset" my device ?)
Ever faced the same issue ? Any clues ?
Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you!!
Could be a permission issue, or preexisting files that fail to be overwritten.
Try SD Maids CorpseFinder and enable all extra filters in the settings, that should find issues with preexisting files.
Make sure that you have enough space specifically on /data/data.
If you can record the failed install in a logcat there might be more specific information.

Thanks for the response buddy.I had already fixed the problem by flashing latest firmware by the time I checked your post.
You are right,that could be a permission.I have been using SD Maid for a long time and no doubt it's such a wonderful must have utility,unfortunately I didn't think about the preexisting files Anyway,it might be useful for othere users.
Thanks again for your support and developing such a wonderful app
Really appreciate that.

Hi!
Probably, most of you have experienced that Titanium Backup can't be used in some ROMs because of (for example) the incompatibility with ext partitions. That is why I make this mini-guide about how to restore apps (maybe on other ROM) previously saved with Titanium Backup :
What we need
Previously saved apps, on a external SD (Obviously )
ES File explorer (It can be downloaded via PlayStore)
NOTE BEFORE STARTING: You can't restore the data of the app, only the app (apk).
Let's start:
1- Enter on /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/ and search the app you wanna restore:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2- Let's asume that we want install "Flash Player" (for example). When we find it, we can see that there are three files with (moreless) the same name:
3- The only file we need is wich one that has the ".apk.gz" extension (normally it appears like the 3rd), ensure by long pressing it and then entering in "properties":
4- Once we have our desired file, we press on it and we will enter on the ".apk.gz" file. Then, press again and we will get the installation screen:
Ta-da! Magic!
Hope that this mini-guide helped you and of course, you liked it.
Thanks for the info man! I was using CM7 but it had not full superuser and ext support, so i couldn't work properly with it... Now I can install my saved apps.
Regards.
Big help, a massive thank you.
Obviously this would take forever, but thanks!
Thanks for the info but it's not working for me. I tried this using ES file explorer. I located the file alright, but when I tried installing it, it said install failed.
DId I miss something? or is there something wrong with the file?
Again thanks for the info.
neat but one question
Hey man i find your idea cool, but however that does not recover lost data, or am i doing something wrong?
Sorry for the necro, but this thread really helped me so I thought I'd chime in.

My Titanium Backup kept crashing everytime I tried to restore an app. I fixed this by following this guide and then going to the Titanium Backup to restore data. Once you installed the app with this guide the app shows up in Titanium under backed up apps. Then just click the app and ONLY restore data. No crashes and you get your data back!
I bought a 16gbnote 10.1, as 32gb is not available in my country.

2. I think money will solve your lag problem, better and easier than any performance tweaks.

So hopefully this will work for you.
1) I downloaded and installed Shadowgun. I DID NOT download game data yet.
2) I set up the directories. At this point both directories are empty.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3)Then check the directory box
4) Select the option to Bind Checked and the box should turn green
5) Launch Shadowgun and download the game data
6) When it is done, if it worked the game data should be on your microSD card
7) You can also verify that your app data has increased, but your Available space has not decreased
8) It is VERY important to backup your database. There is a bug in the bind app that won't keep the folder binds after a reboot. Once you back it up simply restore the database to restore your binds

Hi, I downloaded Titanium Backup and tried to install it but it keeps saying that there is no storage space and that I should clear some space. But i checked my storage and i still have about 27gb of free space left. I also tried installing and uninstalling other apps and it works fine its just TB that does not work. Anyone have any idea whats going on?
I have attached a couple screenshots so you can see.
Thanks in advance
Cheers,
deocare

What does the "Storage" page in Settings say?
Does it work if you install it directly from the Play app?
it says 25gb of free space and ive tried installing it directly from the playstore as well does not work but every other app works
OK, then the error message does not state the real problem.
Next idea: Install CatLog, then try installing TB again until it fails, then open CatLog and scroll up until you find the real error message. Or instead use adb logcat from a PC if you prefer that.

i got this from the logcat but don't know what it means nor on how to fix the problem
I think you may have too many apps running somehow. Try clearing your cache and davik cache. Have you tried side loading TB? You can download the previous version directly from them. Just remember to enable third party apps installs. If it works, you'll be able to upgrade to the latest version via in app or Google Play.
I don't know how to read the catlog, so no help there.
I've had this problem several times. It usually happens when you've installed it once before. What you need to do is go into /data/app and delete the Titanium Bacukup .odex file. I can't remember the full file name, but it'll have titanium backup in the name.
You should the be able to re-install fine.

I've read something similar when searching for the error message, but I don't understand where such an odex file would come from (usually, odex files exist only for system apps - the user-installed apps have dex files in /data/dalvik-cache instead).
But yes, deleting everything related to TB from /data/app, /data/data and /data/dalvik-cache is the next thing to try - the file names start with com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup (or, in dalvik-cache, with [email protected]@" prefixed). You need a root-enabled file manager for this, I use Ghost Commander.

Ohai~
It's weird because I thought I'd find like 3k threads with my same issue but strangely I found none... well,here you have, the known bug of why play store says you don't have enough storage when you have the same storage for the app you want to download and 5 times more.
My free storage IS:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and, if someone says "don't trust that, it's not reliable" blah blah, Clean Master says the same.
I try to download this update
and BAM.
What could it be, ladies and gentlemen? Details of my device at my signature, using Play Store 4.3.11.
You can try wiping the data for Play Store and see if it works.

Okay, tried, and nothing. I also tried reflashing gapps, still the same problem though...
If you have root, you can force uninstall Google from your system if it's a system app and reinstall from Google Play. If you're using Lucky Patcher, check that all unused odex files are removed as these unused files can also cause this error with Google Play.

hi, download directory of play store is /cache/download/
check if /cache is full
aosp/cm based roms uses /cache for dalvik,odex files( i don't know which )
you might want to bind process of download directory of play store using CacheDownload2SD.
It won't affect if you mount/unmount SD Card unlike what SD swap does.
littel help
that already happen with me and i solve it with formatin the phone (master reset) .
sorry for my bad english

Why do you even want to reset the phone if the problem can be pointed out? It will be a lot of trouble to go through just to get Play Store working properly.

Actually /cache is empty, this is weird, with the same apps at CM10(4.1) I had like around 200 and 170mb free storage.. this just started happening when I switched to CM10.1.
Hi, I think my problem is easy to solve, but I want to try others solutions. Well the thing is that I erased all gapps from my phone via rootExplorer (gms.apk, gmail.apk, sky...something.apk, etc) because I don't like those services; Until there, all works great (almost 4 months). I had problems with the internal storage (it was 99% but I didn't have many apps or big files) then, I erased the partition 'data' via TWRP, restarted the phone and all ok (the phone restored), but after set language, choose a name and last name and select a pin I can't go to the next step (in the section 'Google services' a dialog says: "unfortunately Google Play services has stopped") I guess it is because I don't have gapps installed...
I tried to flash gapps via recovery but I think it is not for stock roms...I know that the best solution is download the stock rom and flash it, but I don't have the capacity to download 2.7 GB...
So, someone who has idea about this problem??
sorry for my english, I'm still learning...
