[Q] Unable to install or update "root" apps

Hi,
I have had my phone now for a week, and am a complete noob to Android.
All my other phones were windows based, and I am used to changing phones firmware etc. I am OK with a lot of the terminology, only, not with Android based products.
Now for my problem:
When I try to install an app, I am getting the "insufficient storage available".
It appears (to me, anyway), that it's only when I try to install, or update an app, that required a rooted phone to install/run, (ie. busybox, root checker, titanium backup, etc.) OR an update to one of the apps that came as "standard" with the phone (ie. ROM based).
All other apps appear to install fine.
I have Googled the error and found loads of people with this problem, and some have had it fixed by the methods below. I have tried them, but I still have the problem (as do MANY others it seems).
Does anyone know of a sure-fire way of getting the functionality back ?
I have a couple of copies of LuckyPatcher.apk, but I can't run or install either of them.
I have tried loading the <whatever>.apk file on the phone, then running it, I just get the "out of memory" error.
I have tried to just copy the <whatever>.apk into \system\apps, but it wont copy - I just get a "copy failed" message.
I have checked in \data\app for .odex files - there are none.
I have manually been through the Manage Apps details and cleared out the caches.
I have re-booted MANY times.
I did have Titanium Backup, but I have uninstalled it for now, as the pro key wont install, nor will any of the other "pro" keys I have purchased.
I hope I have presented enough information to start someones grey matter to tick over some rational fault finding techniques.
Please. Can someone help me ?
Regards,
Paul

Hi,
I think your Internal Storage is empty.
You could move apps from Internal Storage to the internal storage.
Hope it helps

Do a backup and reinstall the rom

what is your android phone model..?
is depend on phone internal memory...

Hi,
I've fixed it now.
All the questions that have been asked are answered in my first post. I thought I would try and be helpful by including everything I could find about my phone and problem. I had scoured this (an other) forums, and read the questions people asked, as well as the answers they gave, hence the amount of information I gave originally.
Asking questions that have already been answered is of little use to me, and others in the same predicament, although I realise that it increases your post count.

[Completed] How to remount internal sd card storage

No support from zeki. They said sorry can't help. And past any warranty to return.
Zeki tablet TBQG884B kitkat 4.4.2
I tried a swap ram thing to try increase memory size/speed.
dev_mount sd card change
I didn't quite know what I was doing. Didn't make a backup, etc.
I rooted tablet with kingoroot it's still on it. So is superuser but it asks to download binary files again, but can't because no sd card mounted. Internal or external.
It won't connect to computer usb debuging or mass storage at all.
I can no longer get into system files file explorer etc., to try to reverse/fix what I did.
It said nand flash something instead of sd in video. I now know I shouldn't of edited it.
Is there any way I fix it. Maybe put a different OS on it? If that would fix it? Maybe something from google/android and kitkat?
It works as far as going online with brower. But not much more. won't mount either sd.
I looked everywhere and trying everything. Please help. Thanks.
It said in video to go into sysytem files and change ...

[Completed] TWRP not seeing External Storage

Hello All. I’ve run into an issue with my new Moto G4+. I rooted the phone a couple of weeks ago and all was well with that. I downloaded the AOKP rom last Friday and was going to flash it over the weekend. To my surprise, TWRP does no see my external SD card so I can’t do a backup. The internal storage does not have enough space to backup. I have the 16gb model. I can see/use the SD card with no problem when the phone is running. I’ve searched the forums for a solution, but the only thing I’ve found is to format the SD card as internal storage. However, folks seem to be really, really divided on this solution. I really want to flash AOKP, but I need to do a Nandroid backup first. I tried doing an on-line backup with the TWRP app, but it doesn’t provide me with an MD5 for verification. Any help with getting TWRP in recovery mode to see the SD card would be greatly appreciated. TWRP file manager and terminal allow me to see the card (sdcard1 is its name in TWRP recovery), but it does not show up for "select storage" or "mount" options.
Thanks.

[Completed] Internal storage at "1.8Gb total" was originally 4Gb!! Please help!

Hi I have a question about my rooted Alcatel One Touch Pop Astro Model 50042T. First off I have rooted phones and tablets and moded gaming systems so I have a general-intermediate understanding of the process of rooting but I'm pretty much lost after that. (Also I do NOT have ready access to a PC for the time being.)
So my main concern is that my phone should have 4gb of internal storage and it is only showing that I have 1.80gb!! I know that there are partitions or divvied space that are hidden or you need special permissions to edit. Is that the USB storage? If I'm wrong about that sorry, please correct me.
So my question is how do I reorganize, modify, or even delete hidden partitions? Anything to return my phones visible 1.80gb of storage to the original 4gb? I just need to be able to access it again to install apps on it. If the whole 4gb is impossible, can I get it back to the 3.7-3.8gb that was available when I first purchased it? Please help!!​
Im not sure its completely rooted. Im running king root version 4.9.6 and Purify version 1.5.2.159 and I might have installed a custom ROM or kernel but I'm not entirely sure. I got the pphone approximately 3-4 months ago and I rooted it the same night. And I tried multiple versions of king root and other apps and eventually my phone storage disappeared.
•I would install a root checker if I had enough space.
•I used purify to get rid of apps that I figured were bloatware but I still only have 43.82mb available
•I have transferred every app to the SD card that can be stored there.(If there is way to store system apps and apps that usually can't be stored on external SD I would like to know.)
•Im sorry this is my second post of this. I'm really not sure if I posted this in the right place the first time.
Thank you for your help,
Maxx​
