Hey.....so i have twrp and after installing my lineage of choice i go to flash gapps
it flashes successfully (i install immediately after lineage)
But upon setup and boot up....i cant download even a single app from the PLAY STORE as it displays an error.
Its quite random as i find that the error disappears when i flash again but also it might not and so am confused on what to do and what am doing right to skip that error
Summary: I have just done a clean install of lineage and gapps but when i want to download an app it shows an insufficient storage error....when i still have like the whole phone storage to use. (no restore from backup was done so phone is empty)
Help....
Thanks
Edit: i made it clear its an issue in playstore not in twrp...as i can handle up until stock gapps.
The error gets triggered if not enough free storage space in partition /system and/or /vendor. Just try with micro version of GApps.

i use pico and i can even use stock if i want, device is quite capable ...im saying that i cant download an app in play store as it shows an insufficient storage error hence am confused as i have storage cause i just finished a clean install of lineage
Then storage space in /data and/or /cache partition isn't sufficient. Take note that when downloading an app from Google Play Store in addition to APK's download-size extra ~500MB are needed.

Have you tried going to system settings>applications then finding and selecting the Playstore on the list of apps then tap "storage" then wiping cache and storage for the Playstore app, then reboot the device?
Or
Have you tried booting into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache then reboot the device?

ye i tried the second one and the first one( i didnt restart though) but its not a playstore issue as even in the device file explorer it does not show the internal storage hence the files are not even accessible but the storage size is still seen in settings but i just cant access them....its weird
When in Android's Settings menu tap Storage, tap Advanced, wait for seconds the internal storage gets loaded, tap on internal storage: you'll be shown all the categories in your phone's internal storage. From this you can attain which storage folder or category is taking up huge amount of space in your phone internal storage.

Try another clean install of your ROM and a different gapps package, there may be something wrong with your gapps file, it has been known to happen.
Or, try a clean install of your ROM but do not install gapps, then, reboot into system but do not sign in yet, then power off and boot back into recovery and flash your gapps then reboot. This has been known to fix many issues with flashing ROMs and gapps.

Simplest way to fix your problem is too head back into Twrp recovery and perform a Factory Reset.

your solution seems as the most likely to work so i have marked it as the solution but what i did was just flash stock rom and mounted system in the stock recovery and cleared cache and did a factory reset and boot into the stock rom then i reflashed twrp and flashed the lineage and gapps
that worked
On second thought... im marking this as the solution cause i feel its assured to work cause you are going back to the stock rom and its default system partition and i never had issues flashing when i came from the stock rom.
i even flashed the aroma gapps
Thanks for the help guys...i appreciate it

this did not work....i cleared everything and even formatted data
I don’t know if you found the solution but if didn’t format data clean your phone
Download the version you want make sure both the lineage and gaps are the same in my case I got lineage-18.1 and mindTheGapps 11
Because lineage 18.1 is 11 I tried other gapps but most didn’t work
Then after copy the both files directly in phone internal storage or if your phone supports SDcard put them in there
1st install the gapps.zip then the lineage.zip then reboot system and vwala Insufficient storage gone everything should work including all google apps if chrome or Gmail is missing download in playstore or use browser to download The apk
On mine, I just wiped cache and dalvik cache, then did a dirty flash of opengapps (which was what I'd already been using prior to the TWRP restore), and that fixed it, so that might be a less destructive option for some people.

The problem is lack of space in the system.
The gapps is not supported in many LineageOSes:
Google apps | LineageOS Wiki
wiki.lineageos.org
This worked for me on two One Plus One phones:
Further down in the page they recommend MindTheGapps (not gapps) with Lineage 18.1 (Android 11) .

The ‘resize’ action should really be called something else since it doesn’t do anything unless there’s unallocated partitions lying around....
If you actually want to resize, you’ll have to download a version of TWRP that has hh_repart. A version that worked for me is described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...h-for-nexus-5-hammerhead-discontinued.4047653 .. I used this custom TWRP: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hammerhead-twrp/ which successfully bumped my Nexus 5 from a 1GB to 1.44GB, enough to put on Lineage 18.1 and OpenGapps Arm 11.0 Pico.

After about a year of rooting my tablet I've noticed it started it started getting slow, So I wanted to install a new custom ROM to make it a little faster.
So here is What I did. I first downloaded this ROM from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314458
-Then I rebooted into recovery mode
- Installed the ROM
- then installed the camera update or whatever (from the same link)
- then I wiped The user data
- then I wiped the partition or something
Then when I turned it on, I saw everything was gone but the device was still a bit slow, so I got on the folder explorer app and saw that NOTHING was erased.
Then I rebooted again into recovery mode and clicked on everything I saw "wipe" lol.
Then When I turned it on again I saw they were gone but they were still taking memory.. only 7 GB was free out of 32GB.
So Could Anyone Please help me on how to completely erase EVERYTHING, ( I dont mind if it becomes unrooted or stock rom)
Sorry for the long post and Thank you in Advance!!
What recovery are you running?
To fully wipe using TWRP, wipe both caches, system and then choose the FORMAT DATA option. That will wipe the internal memory clean.

Boot to he ROM. Install GooManager. Open it. Then tap the menu button in the top right and choose Instal OpenRecovery Script. It will flash TWRP 2.3.2.3.
For android 4.2 ROMs you should be using TWRP or CWM 6.x to handle the new file structure.
CWM 3.1.x is old, like 18 months old...
could you be a little more specific like with links and stuff I only know the basics of rooting
Sorry, I thought I mentioned that GooManager was in the play store, but I guess not...
Here is a link to it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager&hl=en

Hello,
I installed CM11 on my HTC explorer following the instructions on this link
XDA - HTC CM11
I successfully installed CM11 and rebooted the device. Then I rebooted into recovery to flash gapps zip and do everything as instructed. But the google play store did not appear even after flashing.
So I did a fresh CM11 install and then gapps again. Still it did not appear.
Finally, I installed Google Play Store apk from File Manager and let gapps be there.
So now whenever I go to download any app it closes by saying "unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped" Then it won't open again. So for that I did following
1. remove google account and connect again.
2. disable or enable google play store from all apps.
3. clear cache
4. clear data/cache of downloads or download manager. it makes the app open again, but as soon as downloading an app play store closes.
5. force stop.
I tried opening after each step but google play store won't let me download any app.
Please help!

It says partition order should be SD-SYSTEM , SD- DATA
how do I make sure it is in that order? I downloaded the 2_sd_ext.zip, but what do I do with those files? no instructions in that thread. I really don't understand what steps to follow and how.

Open the rom zip go to system folder delete cm file manager.apk LatinIME.apk repack the zip now flash the rom.
Now you can flash the gapps.
2nd method i gave you is for increasing the system memory..
During the development stage there was problem in mounting ext partitions in this rom so this method was made..
SD-System is the portion in which your system partition will b increased and you can flash gapps without deleting anything..
SD-Data is the internel memory of the device.
You can use a partition wizard for creating SD-System and SD-Data.
After connecting the card to pc you can see the drive of it..
1. Now open the wizard.
2.Delete that partition.
3.Create a parrtion of fat32 that will b size you will get for storing music etc.
4.Create a partition of size 500 MB which will b SD-System.
5.Create a partition of size 1GB or more SD-Data (Your internal memory)
6.Now apply.
You will get SD-System and SD-data.

Ok so what you mean is to unzip CM11 for htc explorer. goto system/app/ and delete CMFileManager and LatinIME apk files. Zip the files again.
then Reboot into recovery
Format System (not wipe option but format option !!!)
Format Data
Format Cache then Format Boot
Wipe Data/Factory reset (1st option in wipe/format menu)
Wipe Dalvik Cache
and finally flash the new ROM without those 2 files.
after that reboot normally and then download paragapps. Reboot into recovery again and flash paragapps.
Now I have two questions:
1. Can I use this gapps from XDA forums htc explorer CM11 thread or do I exclusively need paragapps?
2. Will either gapps or paragapps make play store work? if not then since the file manager is not there how can I even install the play store apk?
Thanks for your help bhai!

Best thing i do is i create a copy of the rom zip in other folder or drive delete the files from the zip itself so no need of packing it again..:thumbup:
The main problem for playstore not getting installed is system memory is full after you delete the apk files you will get the playstore..
Sd system and sd data was brought into scene because system partition was full due to which gapps was not working and the kernel was not mounting the ext..
You can use gapps provided after deleting the apps..
Plz note for pa gapps to work you need to have sd system and sd data or else it wont work..

No need of creating a partition after deleting those 2 files and no need of pa gapps as well just flash the gapps provided in the post i.e the normal one.. Just make sure you have at least one partition for increasing your internel memory..
If you haven't created any ext partition you can create it through recovery..
No need any partition software..
Check the cm 11 post in that a patch is available flash the patch after setting up your phone.. Your ext partiton will b mounted..
Lastly as the system partiton will b free you can flash the gapps and you will get the play store..

For the patch to work you need a ext partition which can be created using recovery..
In recovery go to advanced-> select partition sd card-> select the size you want-> select swap size 0..
Before creating a ext back up your card cz it will format your card..
Ok now about the keyboard thing instead of deleting LatinIME delete documentsUI.apk

Hi,
I'm having issues while updating or installing apps saying I don't have enough storage. I've looked into settings, storage, and it looks like I have more than 600 mb, but I believe this is an aggregation between the "SD storage" and the system partition storage.
I've tried to use disk usage but it gives the attached error, so it's a no go for me. Using an alternative app, it seems that I have about 150 mb free on system, but I really don't have much apps installed.
I've already wiped cache (using Cwm) and cleared cache/data on play services.
Any idea of what might be using so much space on system?

Try flashing the factory images to re create the partitions and use maybe a smaller gapps package

Thanks, this is becaming annoying now. I eventually removed from /system a lot of gapps (which I then installed from the play store, being installed on /data), but even with more than 250 mb free on the /system 1 gb partition (is this is the correct size?) I'm constantly having that error, when installing or updating apps.
My solution is always to clear cache before doing this

I wanted to update my rooted Android Nougat to Oreo and also go from SuperSU to Magisk. During that process I discovered that TWRP recovery couldn't mount my internal storage.
I quickly saw on a lot of sites that it's a well-known issue, and I solved it by converting from ext4 to ext2 and back again. Now my phone is running perfect. All apps are installed, data and settings are restored with Titanium and root with Magisk is working fine. But then I remembered about the issue with TWRP and booted into recovery - just to discover the problem is back again. I can't mount my internal storage. So I can't flash zip files, I can't do a backup etc.
When I search xda or the web in general, I can't figure out why the problem has occured again. Also I can't find out how to fix it without losing all my data. Can anybody answer these two questions? Why is this happening again and how do I permanently fix it? And can it be with all my data on my phone - because I'm not able to do a backup.

I wanted to update my rooted Android Nougat to Oreo and also go from SuperSU to Magisk. During that process I discovered that TWRP recovery couldn't mount my internal storage.

The problem occurs when you use a ROM which encrypts the software or the ROM your flashing has an encrypted kernal. The only way out is to flash a ROM which doesn't encrypt. It is a known problem with TWRP and we have to wait for the TWRP team to update TWRP to handle quota allocation.
It seems the problem is solved for me. I flashed the TWRP version from this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77296102&postcount=1243
First I tried from Odin but it didn't work. Then I installed the TWRP app from Google Play and flashed the other file, rebooted to recovery, and it seems to work. I can mount my internal storage, make a backup etc. So this is the solution for me.
I had also similar problem of internal storage 0mb and i was not be able to mount my data
so when i flash color recovery by nobody
It's gone because it's allready patch by him
I think it's issue of encrypt data so just flash this recovery from nobody post

I'll re flash later and try a different file manager. Otherwise I'll install treble or re flash stock and start over

same problem, have you found solution ? please help me
TWRP sometimes can't mount the storage, the storage is encrypted, but don't worry. You can still flash your files and rewrite system partion. But in order to show the Storage, you have to use a different version of TWRP. Why am I saying this is mentioned following:
I installed the latest version of twrp, It didn't ask for any password patter to decrypt my storage. So , different XDA posts made me understand that , formatting everything, factory reset will decrypt my storage. And trust me, I have done it several time, several times my brother but it didn't decrypt my storage. I couldn't backup my ROM and without backing up my ROM, I didn't take the risk of flashing new ROM. I waited. This twrp couldn't even mount my system partion. So I seeked knowledge from different person. It took a lot of effort.
Then I learned that, I should change this version of TWRP. I changed to an older version and it didn't decrypt my internal storage after formatting, but it mounted my system partion. Since, it couldn't decrypt my internal storage, I couldn't take backup of my rom and save it to internal storage. so I inserted a pendrive in my phone, and saved the backup of my rom there.
Permanent Solution
Flashing DM Verity Force Encryption Disabler will decrypt your storage instantly. But in my case, it aroused another problem, None of the security measures of my phone worked afterwards. FOD, pin, password, pattern none of them worked. I don't know the reason but I don't suggest it with my little knowledge. but almost every rom flasher use them, so I thing I have to study about them to know how they work.
second and best option: start trying older version of TWRP, the good one will be the one to ask the password the recovery in the beginning. It will decrypt your internal storage.
I was brief here, if anyone doesn't understand these things, let me know, I will explain them step by step because I know the pain of being NEWB.
Hi all,
In my quest to breathe more life into my OP6, I've decided to install TWRP and Magisk. Once doing so, it seems that I cannot install apps or update some already preloaded apps - I get an error message saying that the app can't be downloaded and I need to install to a SD card or external USB storage.
The exact error reads: App requires external storage. (insert app name) can't be downloaded. Insert an SD card or USB storage with sufficient storage, and try again.
I tried to Google a solution but didn't really find anything. I've already tried to do a wipe with TWRP and reflashed the recovery and Magisk but am still getting the same error. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or missing a setting.
Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to stick to OOS but am not opposed to another ROM.
Currently on OOS 10.3.4, TWRP 3.4.0, and Magisk 20.4. Thanks.
Same here.

Finally got it to fix itself after several system and dalvik wipes. Hope that works for you too. Also had to re-flash Magisk after every wipe.
Well... Here is the solution:
Download stock ROM ( 10.3.2 or higher). Download latest TWRP.zip from @mauronofrio - Link HERE
Then.
1. Boot to TWRP recovery
2. Format data.. (say yes when it's asked)
3. reboot to recovery
4. Move Stock ROM and downloaded TWRP to your internal sdcard.
5. Flash Stock ROM.zip + TWRP.zip -> reboot to recovery -> Flash Stock ROM.
6. Boot to Stock recovery
7. erase everything in your internal SD card. (Trivial part)
8. Boot to System and set your device.
Voila.
After this... You can flash TWRP and Magisk as it's recommended in several guides for enchilada....
That worked for me.
