I am running WW 4.6 right now and i did a titanium back up to try out one of the new Froyo ROMs. I didnt like it so i tried to nandroid restore back to WW and that wouldnt even work.
So i reflashed WW and tried to reinstall my apps and it says "not enough memory" or something along those lines every time i try to reinstall an app.
So i partitioned my SD card and it STILL wont download anything..any ideas?
Edit: After some research this seems to be a Titanium back up issue and a simple uninstall/reinstall of the apps works. I have no apps installed on my phone and i cannot install anything...thats not good.
Also i have the adb shell open on the command prompt with all the listed app on my phone by doing
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
ls
...and there is nothing there that is installed, just all of the .apks that come with the ROM.
Installed a new ROM and working now, very strange.
WW requires you to partition your SD card for app2sd, that is why it's telling you that you do not have enough space. Get ROM Manager from the market and it will do this for you, then just flash WW back onto your phone.

EDIT: I forgot to add that after you install WW you need to go into (Settings, Applications) and enable App2SD before you can install anything.

If you do a "chmod -R 777 /data/app" (without quotes) through ADB shell, that should enable you to install apps from the market onto internal memory.

I take it that it's not a good thing to remove your SD card when you're running A2SD. I wanted to see if my apps were "really" running on the card, so I figured I'd just pop it out, see if the apps worked or not, then pop it back in. Well, the apps didn't work, but after re-inserting the card, I don't see any of the apps I had installed.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Reboot it?

I did that about 5 times.
I also tried reflashing the PlainJaneT2 ROM I have on the SD card, but oddly enough that didn't fix it either...probably because I didn't do a factory reset prior to doing it. I don't want to lose all my data and downloaded apps...
If you have Titanium Backup and have done a recent backup, it might work to restore the links to your SD apps, not sure though...
BTW sorry for the obvious first response, but you never know what people have/haven't tried.
Well, I just flashed the PlainJaneT2 ROM to my phone last night, so I didn't get around to making a backup. I'm just not sure if there's a way to restore the links without doing a factory reset and starting over.

Try "a2sd install"
That commands makes sure everything is set for a2sd. see if that works.
Thanks, T2noob...do I need to run that from the command prompt with the phone connected via USB? I was surprised to see that almost every app on my phone was moved to the SD card! Right now I can still use it, but any app, including Market, is gone!

You can either run it from the adb with this
Code:
adb shell a2sd install
or you can run it from a terminal emulator from the phone with this
Code:
su
a2sd install
and about the market being gone reboot your phone and it should come back.
That market issue may not if he can't get to his ext partition.
That was an issue when I had zipalign running at boot. You have a market app that is located in /system/app (this is where it should be). When market updates, it puts an updated copy of itself in /data/app (which is on his ext partition). The icon is pointed to that app.
I didn't remove the market app fix program (though I did remove the command to get there).
If you still can't get market back, try the following:
1. Remount your phone (adb remount)
2. Go into the adb shell
3. Type /system/xbin/busybox cp -fp /data/a2sd/Vending.apk /system/app
4. Type /system/xbin/busybox rm -f /data/data/com.android.vending/cache/*
5. I'm not sure, but you may just want to reboot the phone.
This should bring back your market.

"Error downloading app from market. There is insufficient space on the device."
That's the error that I get when I try to download big apps, like Third Blade, etc. I notice that this happens with apps that are bigger that 30mb.
I just want someone to confirm that the game can be downloaded in a Samsung Vibrant.
I really have a lot of space in my device so this is not the problem.
I'm on trigger right now.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
i have that same problem!! but only with that game and i have alot of room too
i wanna play third blade toooo
im on cm7
I had that problem on BOTH of those ROMS.
Mostly CM7.
Everyone suggested to just ODIN, it didn't work for me, so i just changed rom and it was good again?
Before doing anything, i think you should backup everything on your SD CARD, then try and format sd, and then try download.
i may be wrong.
/cache is full. Go in with root explorer or similar, and clear out some stuff. You might even need to go into /cache/dalvik and delete a few installed apps (don't fret, they should rebuild after a reboot) for it to initially fit. That's where Android places the zip before installing a new app, or an update. I go in there all the time and clear any updates or apps I just installed, and I rarely have issues with not being able to d/l larger apps. I'm on latest Trigger CM.

Disable voodoo, it works for me every time
i just made something like
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/cache
mount -t bind /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/cache /cache
and i have no problems regarding /cache space now

This would need some modification to work for CM based ROMs, but looks like its creating a cache folder on and forcing system cache to the external sd? I wonder if this would work for CM? Anyone?

This happened to me awhile back, it really sucked.
After trying everything, eventually it cleared up when I cleared dvk cache (or whatever its called) in advanced settings of clockwork

Seems a little big risky but I can try it later.
The thing is guys, have you downloaded Third Blade? I need some proof.
Thanks.
u cant download third blade on cm7!! ive tried it on 3 cm7 phones to my knowledge
This worked for me.

I have tried everything in this thread and all of the others I found by searching the forums.
Allow a noob to ask a question, please... What do you do with this zip?
found in /cache via root explorer a leftover 16mb apk.. deleted & market installs working again.. THANKS!
I get an Insufficient Space error every time I try to install some larger apps (latest examples: Paradise Island and Duke Nukem 3D).
I have tried every suggested fix I can find online. I have cleared the market cache, uninstalled market updates, cleared dalvik cache, cleared regular cache, checked partition usage of /data, nothing has changed this behavior.
As a final step I ODIN'd back to stock and reinstalled Bionix Nextgen V2. Made sure to do the 20 minute wait n' reboot. Tried installing the same apps via the Market once the ROM was installed and the old market doesn't even give me the error, it shows the download arrow in the notification bar for a couple seconds and then it just disappears.
I'm at my wits end on this one. Seems my choice is to either run CM7 and have non-functioning GPS or Bionix and have a semi-functioning market.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I wiped my cache partition and dalvik from recovery. Rebooted and I could now install Wind-Up Knight. It's all I had to do. CM7.
Update: For whatever reason my /cache on Bionix Nextgen V2 is set to 24.7 Mb after a fresh installation. No wonder it wouldn't install 27+ Mb apps.
I finally fixed this issue myself with a symlink:
Ran inside Terminal Emulator (you will need to run the commmand su after opening terminal emulator to get root rights):
umount /cache
rmdir /cache
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/cache
ln -s /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/cache cache
As soon as I exited Terminal Emulator I was able to install large apps.
Update again: And now it's broken again. Cache is remounted to the old settings and the umount command now just gives me a "Failed" without any other useful error information.
HELP!!! How do I permanently fix this?
Update again v2: Rebooted into recovery, wiped cache and Dalvik, got an error indicating my sd card isn't partitioned correctly "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2" when wiping Dalvik, but from what I'm finding online that's not a huge deal. Rebooted, ran my commands above again and cache is symlinked again, large apps install ok again.
How do I make this permanent?
Same problem, disabling Voodoo worked for me
solution worked for me like charm....
After browsing around, I found out solution:
The problem is in the cache folder (that I assume used by the market) is using small partition (around 20mb in my case).
So to solve this we need to change it to bigger partition.
1. You gonna need Android Terminal Simulator or equivalent terminal app. This will also require your Android rooted.
2. Type ’su’ (root permission request will be showned, you need to approve it).
3. Type ‘cd /’
4. Type ‘umount /cache’
5. Type ‘mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs rootfs /’ (to set the folder access to rw – read write)
6. Type ‘rmdir /cache’ (delete cache folder)
7. I personally using root explorer to do point 5-6
8. Type ‘mkdir /sdcard/cache’
9. Type ‘ln -s /sdcard/cache /cache’ (to link cache folder to /sdcard/cache – which shoud have bigger partition size)
Works like a charm!!!

I was trying to free up space and saw LG Home was taking up some space. Never knew it was a critical launcher. Ive tried millions of methods on various sites including xda, android forums, android central with no luck. Here is a rundown of the situation.
1. I had clockwork installed then it "disappeared" adb reboot recovery stopped letting me go to the clockwork bootloader
2. I have a custom ROM sitting on an sdcard called Cyanogen.zip Its never been messed with yet.
3. I do not have a "nandroid" backup or backup of the stock rom because clockworkmod never worked
4. Doing a factory reset did not fix the issue because apparently the OS runs live off the rom aka it never installs itself to the device like in WIndows . SO I get a total black screen setup screen with only a signal bar on top.
So the latest thing ive been trying is adb pushing a copy of LG_Home into the /system . This is not working because im getting a "permission denied" . Now before you get hasty please do not have me do these commands:
1. mount /system already did this back when doing clockwork
2. remount -o ,rw does not work, probably due to already having root
3. adb root tried it and it doesn't really do anything, I still get permission denied, and usage errors
This does not make sense because the phone is rooted (does factory reset take away root? ) , chmod 777 has been applied to /system . If I lost root doing a factory reset, is there a way to root the phone now that I don't have a functioning phone?
Here is what im aming to do with your help
1. Force the LG_Home.apk file into the /system
2. Force some way to get cyanogen mod installed as I now have a corrupt stock rom
Something has to work and im hoping someone will help me

if i use titanium backup then when i covert that app to system app 'please wait..' goes on and goes on.after waiting long time i closed titanium backup and rebooted. when i check that app it actually got converted into system app. but then when i try to delete this app or any other system app with titanium backup or link2sd both app shows uninstall was succesfull but actually app didnt get uninstalled. I think someyhing is restricting them to modify system.
Please give me any solution bro.

Then directly uninstall the app through the system using Root explorer (paid app) / mixplorer
Or you can use ADB method
Code:
adb shell
cd system/app
ls
(Search the app package then)
rm example.apk

Dont forget to reboot afterwards

I came to that problem before in SLIMrom
I think it is something to do with mounting the /system at root. But problem persist so i changed ROM.
I tried running this command in terminal
1) Open terminal
2) Type "su" (enter)
3) Type "mount -o remount,rw /system" (enter)
Maybe it will work for you

when i type that command in terminal the exact same error is given as response in terminal. here you are saying you also got that error(atleast i am not the only one) and changing rom fixed that error as i also tried reinstalling official miui rom in place of my current xiaomi.eu rom but in that rom too i am getting same error.
Does it have something to with twrp. because in 'mount' in twrp 'system' is always unmounted, even if i mount the system it again gets unmounted.
And many many thanks for your reply. please give me another suggestion bro.

The way I'd fix the error is to wipe the /system , after that, i made a decision to change ROM.
So yet again, i did a clean flash.
About the mounting problem, you probably got into that situation due to the fact that is something wrong with the system permission hence you got that error.
If you decided to go with the official MIUI, make sure to wipe everything (except internal/external) before flashing the ROM.
