Okay... I searched the forums and didn't see a good answer to this question so I thought I'd post it here along with what worked for me.
I flashed over to GeeWiz recently from a rooted, stock Fascinate (and I love the new ROM). When I was re-installing my apps, I started getting an error message in the market saying I had insufficient storage. I tried manually remapping the cache using a terminal emulator with no joy (I may have screwed it up).
I finally got fed up and wiped my Dalvik Cache and voila, it started downloading again. I got about 60-80 MB of apps downloaded and hit the wall again. After rebooting into recovery and wiping it again, it started working again.
Problem: Insufficient Storage Space Available (Android Market)
Possible Solution:
1.) Reboot into Recovery (if you don't have Clockwork installed, flash it, then reboot into it)
2.) Using the volume keys, scroll down to advanced
3.) Press the return/go back soft key to enter the next menu
4.) Scroll down to Wipe Dalvik Cache, choose it
5.) Scroll down to Yes - Wipe Dalvik Cache, choose it
6.) Wait until it's cleared
7.) Press the Menu key to go back until you see Reboot System Now
8.) Reboot - It will take a few minutes for the cache to get rebuilt so be patient
Hopefully, this will help some. If anyone else has any ideas, please post them!

Perhaps you should also wipe regular cache...
Has anyone seen John Connor?
Similar problem on Samsung Vibrant with CM7
Thanks for posting this solution. I just wanted to add on that I'm having a similar problem (Samsung Vibrant Cyanogenmod 7) but it's only when downloading large apps from the market. I can download as many as I want that are a few MB but trying to download one that is around 40MB says I don't have enough space. I've tried wiping Davlik cache and eventually reformatted all partitions and reinstalled ROM clean and still get the same error.
I actually just posted a thread on this and then noticed your solution (even if it didn't work in my case
Might be a different issue, but maybe related. So if anyone has run into similar issues and found solutions I'd appreciate hearing some other solutions too.
I posted a thread on my issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18991642#post18991642
but i'll follow both these threads!
That one I think I understand... but, unfortunately the answer is that the Dalvik cache partition (where the market APK's are downloaded to) on many original Samsung devices (i.e. Fascinate) is only about 35 MB in size. Anything larger will get rejected as being too big. Most of the newest devices have a larger download partition.
I've seen a few posts on different forums on remapping the download cache to a different, larger partition... but nothing specific to our devices. I've tried following other posts just to see if it works, but suceeded only in either having no effect or messing it up worse and having to reinstall the ROM (not a big deal, but frustrating).
Until one of the smart people here tells us how to remap **our** cache to a larger partition... I'd do a Google search for the APK of the app you are trying to install. That worked for me to install an app about 40 MB in size.
** edit **
I see that you were able to download the app after deleting everything in the cache folder. I guess your device is lucky enough to have a larger download partition than mine does
Glad to see you got it to work!

I am not responsible if you mess up your device doing the following. It manually remaps your market cache to your SD card to give you extra space. The only caveat is that if you remove your SD card (or while the SD card is unmounted) the market will not work. If you are worried about losing market functionality, DON'T try this. If you mistype (or the world suddenly tips over or some other unforeseen consequence), you can ruin your ability to run the Android Market at all. Please remember, you can repeatedly clear your Dalvik cache as often as needed to continue downloading apps. you can also get most larger APK's if you spend a few minutes browsing for them. You have been warned!

1.) Download and install a terminal emulator
2.) Open the terminal emulator and type su
3.) Allow the app to always have root access and exit
4.) Restart the terminal emulator and type su, the prompt should change to a #

Alternately, (from what I understand) you can just repartition your device and reinstall your ROM of choice using ODIN and your market should be back to the way it was.
I'd seen that same remapping to sdcard idea as well, I just didn't want to mess with it, figured there had to be a way to get it to work right how it's supposed to, but maybe not.
Clearing /cache worked for me though. On my Vibrant with with CM7 market downloads are cached directly in the /cache folder. there's a dalvik-cache folder in there too. but i just deleted everything out of /cache, then downloaded ok, then rebooted and it recreated dalvik-cache folder and other sub folders in /cache. another work around option for people.

hi, sorry to butt in, but I've been browsing all over trying deleting caches and dalvik caches (which deleted a few of my apps for some reason) and just tried this method but no luck. just wondering if you have any other ideas?
Hello,
Having just encountered the Issue of Insufficient Storage Space Available (Android Market) after loading a recent ROM, it ocurred to me to do just that-Wipe dalvic. I was hoping that would work, rather than having to Odin, etc.
yeah, the remapping cache to sd card, didn't work for me either
I had this problem as well after flashing the stock EH03 Odin package and then flashing SuperClean v3.05 in cwm. I forgot to wipe cache/delvik and had some fc's and got the "Insufficient Storage Space" warning when attempting to download apps from the market.
I booted back into cwm, cleared cache/delvik, went into "mounts and storage" and made sure dbdata was mounted and repaired permissions. Rebooted and all was well!
MOD EDIT: No warez discussion please
Thank you rxwookie :good:, the sd remap worked fine* for me and I did and a wipe dalvik also. On Nexus One ICS BCM-RC4.1U2
*two folders were created with files inside the /sdcard/cache/marketCache after installing a program, but I saw no apk
@gentle_giant: I tried your way but it seems that removes the curent patches and you have to repatch again.

Nice work, but note that the issue is not market-specific.
If you were to try and sideload that same app, you would get the same message -- it is from the device, not from the market.
I know this to be true since I tried it. I regularly backup all apps with ES File Explorer's App Manager (I also do the same with TB and NAND backup). When I came across the error message, I tried sideloading with no luck.
Since I am able to do updates and a rare occassional new download, I wonder if there is something about the specific apps involved.
It also is not the quantity of apps installed. I've read of someone having six apps installed. I have almost one-thousand (my dalvik resides on my Ext4 SD-EXT partition, so it can grow).
There is probably a solution staring us all in the face, but as for me, I seem blind to it.
I guess problem [RESOLVED]

I recently had the same problem on my device htc explorer. I had rooted my device so i used The APP LUCKY PATCHER and selected Options>Troubleshooting. There i found out an option called Insufficient storage available so when i selected it , it had done something and when it was over i could install the app that was causing the trouble! Hope it would work fr u people! But remember
ur device must be rooted and install LUCKY PATCHER!!

Thanks for that, I'll give that a try if I see it again. It seemed to only be specific ROMs for me at least. I always got it with CM7 and 9, but other ROMs like AOKP and team passion ROMs never gave that error. So it must be something in their coding as well. Maybe CM just hadn't bothered to fix/patch it and AOKP/Passion had, I dunno

If any of you have Titanium Backup installed before, try uninstall it and delete App Manager folder from you sdcard.
It worked for me, no idea about you guys though.
I have xperia neo, and I am probably in "the wrong part of town", however I wanted to share some of my experience. When I was running stock Gingerbread I had no problems at all with this, with CM9.1 I tried the lucky patcher thing and it seemed to have worked. But when using stock ICS after downloading around 10 apps, and the free space going down from 300mb to below 90, the problem is there. Any thought on why GB was ok? I am considering going back to GB.
Seems to be finally fixed
I've been poking about trying to find a solution to my "insufficient space" issue, which as most of you seem to be in agreement is a blatant lie you are being told by your phone.
Anyhow, a reboot to recovery and a cache wipe is certainly now allowing me to update the apps I couldn't previously.
Thanks to the xda community, once again.
Incidentally , I'm running a Galaxy S2 I9100, with CM9 RC1

I have been unable to get my G Tablet running VeganTab 7.1 to run a fairly wide range of programs. Some examples Logmein Ignite, Roboform, any alternative keyboard. In each case as soon as I start the program it "Force Closes".
Does anyone have any thoughts about how I might be able to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Tom
I'm running the latest Mountain Laurel ROM at the moment but I've used VEGAn Ginger 7.1 in the past with LogMeIn Ignition and different keyboards without any issues. My question to you would be when did this start? Was it always that way since you started using this ROM or did it begin after some time? If it was always like that then I would suggest you do a total wipe and reflash that ROM since I know those programs can and did work for me on VG 7.1. Also are you using the stock kernel that VG 7.1 ships with or did you flash another custom kernel? If you did that may be the culprit especially if you're over-clocking.
It started right after I upgraded from 7.0 to 7.1. The easy route would be to step back to 7.0. I just hate to do that since this version is so much better in so many other ways.
I did use CWM to factory wipe then wiped cache (including dalvik-cache) really flashed rom with no change.
Any other thoughts?

Try these steps.
1. Boot into ClockworkMod, select "mounts and storage" and unmount all mounted partitions. Then, connect the USB cable to the gTab and run these commands using adb. Do not back out from the mounts and storage screen that you're currently on otherwise the /cache partition will get re-mounted again.
Code:
[I]Wipe the cache partition[/I]
C:\> [B]adb shell erase_image cache[/B]
[I]Mount /system read-only to use the newer FS check progs.[/I]
C:\> [B]adb shell mount -r /system
[/B] [I]Force check /sdcard[/I]
C:\> [B]adb shell /system/bin/fsck_msdos -f -y /dev/block/mmcblk3p1[/B]
[I]Force check /data[/I]
C:\> [B]adb shell /system/bin/e2fsck -f -y /dev/block/mmcblk3p2[/B]
[I]Unmount /system[/I]
C:\> [B]adb shell umount /system[/B]
After this you can use the back soft-button to go into the "advanced" menu item and then choose "Wipe Dalvik Cache".
The procedure above will fix any filesystem structure errors (note: not corrupted file data problems!) and wipe unnecessary data (/cache and dalvik-cache stuff) while preserving all your user data.
If certain apps still force close then it might be due to corrupted data files. To clear this problem, try:
a) going into Settings > Applications and then clearing the apps's data and cache
b) un-installing and re-installing the apps, or
c) using Settings > Applications, moving the apps to SD card, then back to the tablet (or vice versa).
Problem pretty much corrected
Thanks to everyone for suggestions. I saw on another thread that someone suggested re-partitioning the SD memory using 2048 / 0. It worked like a champ with the exception of Android mail client. For some reason the email client fails to allow me to add a POP3 email account. I get all the way to the end and it force closes. I ended up downloading an alternate client and it works fine.
Other than that everything is great. G tab is performing great.
Thanks again to everyone who made suggestions.

By repartitioning the SD card you've almost brought the tablet to a factory default state--by additionally wiping cache, you would, in fact, bring the tablet to a freshly installed state--but, you've also lost all your data and settings (unless you've taken a backup). The steps I outlined above was an attempt to fix your problem while preserving almost all of your data.
Anyway, happy to hear that your tablet is working almost normally now. Try wiping cache, dalvik-cache in CWM, and clearing data and cache in Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Email to fix email.
I had the same problem with 7.1. It only affected the Mail client with my pop mail. I ended up pasting in the mail program from 7.0. Worked like a charm. I attached for your convenience

Thanks man….I was disappointed when I tried to connect to our Exchange server; I kept getting force close on the email app. At first I thought it was because our Exchange server forces you to have a password on your account. Then I tried to connect to my Hotmail and same problem. I found your post Thanks once more…
I did try just installing and received a warning this is a system app do I wish to replace? I said yes and it installs just fine. Wow Hotmail works but when connect to Exchange force close….
I did get this to work….but I has to extract all files form the VeganTab 7.1 zip into another folder in the system\app folder overwrite Email.apk with the new file and re-zip contents and re-install VeganTab7.1 with new files.
So, I am looking at getting a Off the shelf nook tablet, and want to build a SD card to run cm7 or cm9 from it. but i have questions on apps, compatibility, speed and overclocking
1) the most important to me is the apps. if i build the SD cm7 boot card, and boot from it will :
a)google play be able to install and work with it?
b)will there still be apps missing because of the generic build.prop file
c)is there a way to export a build.prop from a same size (screen density) similar cpu/gpu and import it to make missing apps work ?
d)failing question c is there any way to get every app's apk file for the nook device ? (ie a google play link to apk ?)
2) on a class 10 sd card's fast enough to still be "snappy" ?
3) on sd cards, UHS class 1 capable?
4) i saw a overclocking img that can be dropped on top of the stock cm7... the question i have is how far is considered normal for overclocking success? meaning, 100mhz is not worth the time, 300mhz over would be a nice boost but what are the chances of getting 300mhz stable for plugged in gaming.
5) codecs play a lot in playback of 720p mkv and mp4 files.... how well does the stock cm7 image play moderate bitrate 720p rips ?
6) cm9.... how usable ? i need it to be idiot proof for the wife... if its "touchy"... i will opt for cm7...
7) cm7 perm install... sooo many links, broken links, private files, multiple images with different caveats... and of course the issue with build.prop... any recent updates and less link-happy guides that dont require reading all 250 pages to make sure there is not a secret sauce img file update that doesn't faff your device? and how stable ... is stable ???
thoughts ??? help???
I'm still a noob myself. But I purchased a 16gb NT last week, and within about 20 minutes had it up, rooted, and running CM7 from the internal memory card.
The process isnt difficult, and CM7 Seems to work well, HD video playback is fluid, and mostly glitch free. The Play store seems to work fine (Cant download chrome for Android, but Dolphin Browser HD seems fine!)
Sound input/output works fine, voice search, ect.
There are some (Quite minor, IMHO) bugs with CM7, but I wouldn't call it "unuseable"
CM9, which I also tried, had more ... issues.. Sleep of death unless underclocked, no HD video playback, sound input not working.
I'll link the guide, and the Support thread I used for my CM7 install.
I also, during one of my "oh crap, I bricked it" moments (Dont mess with ROM managers recovery.. espeically half awake.) Ran CM7 from SD, It seemed snappy enough, but I only used it to copy/replace a few files that I needed so I cant give a full report.
This is the guide I used
This is the support thread.
Hope this helps!

1.
a) yes
b) yes
c) yes you can edit build prop (many threads) you'll never get everything on any single device
d) no nor any other device
2. I don't find anything above class 4 faster except when writing to it from pc
3. ?
4. As you have noticed at this time most roms are still on the edge (they are constantly being improved), I would not push them with overclocking. You'll pay a price for little gain!
5. ?
6. Even the stock software is not idiot proof! (my opinion)
7. ?
The question marks are things I can't or at least didn't answer. I'm sorry but you have a task ahead of you. As you will see with time, rom XYZ operates perfectly for me and when you flash it you have a brick.
Any modification to your nook you should weigh and accept that possibility. Anything can and will happen.
The folks here on XDA can do anything. Sometimes others don't feel that way but the right person has not put in their two cents at the time of that decision.

So, I am looking at getting a Off the shelf nook tablet, and want to build a SD card to run cm7 or cm9 from it. but i have questions on apps, compatibility, speed and overclocking
1) the most important to me is the apps. if i build the SD cm7 boot card, and boot from it will :
a)google play be able to install and work with it?
b)will there still be apps missing because of the generic build.prop file
c)is there a way to export a build.prop from a same size (screen density) similar cpu/gpu and import it to make missing apps work ?
d)failing question c is there any way to get every app's apk file for the nook device ? (ie a google play link to apk ?)
2) on a class 10 sd card's fast enough to still be "snappy" ?
3) on sd cards, UHS class 1 capable?
4) i saw a overclocking img that can be dropped on top of the stock cm7... the question i have is how far is considered normal for overclocking success? meaning, 100mhz is not worth the time, 300mhz over would be a nice boost but what are the chances of getting 300mhz stable for plugged in gaming.
5) codecs play a lot in playback of 720p mkv and mp4 files.... how well does the stock cm7 image play moderate bitrate 720p rips ?
6) cm9.... how usable ? i need it to be idiot proof for the wife... if its "touchy"... i will opt for cm7...
7) cm7 perm install... sooo many links, broken links, private files, multiple images with different caveats... and of course the issue with build.prop... any recent updates and less link-happy guides that dont require reading all 250 pages to make sure there is not a secret sauce img file update that doesn't faff your device? and how stable ... is stable ???

CM7 beta internal is the only way to go at this time, atleast for my use. Reading, netflix, surfing and most games. Easy to install and very stable. Just follow the instructions given in Celtic's post and you shouldn't have any problems. Good luck.

You don't really need a class 10 card. The best card you could use would be a Sandisk class 4. The class 10 is probably going to give you problems down the road if you're running CM7 off it.

oh ? details please ?
class 10 cards are for like...video recording, i.e. lots of data read/write at high speeds...for normal functionality, they are, in my experience often slower and buggy
stick to a class 4 card
lag0matic said:
I'm still a noob myself. But I purchased a 16gb NT last week, and within about 20 minutes had it up, rooted, and running CM7 from the internal memory card.
The process isnt difficult, and CM7 Seems to work well, HD video playback is fluid, and mostly glitch free. The Play store seems to work fine (Cant download chrome for Android, but Dolphin Browser HD seems fine!)
Sound input/output works fine, voice search, ect.
There are some (Quite minor, IMHO) bugs with CM7, but I wouldn't call it "unuseable"
CM9, which I also tried, had more ... issues.. Sleep of death unless underclocked, no HD video playback, sound input not working.
I'll link the guide, and the Support thread I used for my CM7 install.
I also, during one of my "oh crap, I bricked it" moments (Dont mess with ROM managers recovery.. espeically half awake.) Ran CM7 from SD, It seemed snappy enough, but I only used it to copy/replace a few files that I needed so I cant give a full report.
This is the guide I used
This is the support thread.
Hope this helps!

Am I dumb !?!??!
I go to rom manager, it asks a question on which rom manger to install, not sure which one to pick (i assume 2.2.x) but in either case when i go to "install rom" and select the zip file. it reboots to a splat and tells me to call B&n ....
??
Guidence you have CWM on screen with the downloaded update zip archive on your sd card, Follow these simple steps
ME: istalled to a sd card abd booted from it right now
Guide: 1. Goto install zip from sdcard
Me: go to apps > rom manager > install rom from sd card
Guide: 2. Choose zip from sdcard ( if CWM hasn't recognized your SD card you need to eject it and re insert it once or twice, sometimes you need to go to mounts and unmount SD, pop it out and back in then select mount sd)
Me: done
Guide: 3. choose the CM7-TEAM-B-BETA1-signed.zip
ME: selected
Guide: 4. scroll down and select Yes - Install CM7-TEAM-B-BETA1-signed.zip
Me: done
Guide: 5. sit back for a couple of minutes while the installation is carried out
Me: splat on reboot...
do i need to sign into the android market and install a recovery tool ? there is wording to that when selecting which version of recovery ...
That’s CM7 installed, next you need to prepare the rest of the device

Right, sounds like you messed something up a bit trying to use ROM manager. I always install my roms from a CWM SD card.
First, lets try the simple solution.
Boot your CWM SD
Install update from SD card
From the CWM main menu, and choose "Wipe data/Factory reset"
Also from the main menu, choose, "Wipe Cache"
Next, go to "advanced" and choose "wipe dalvik cache"
Now, go back to the main menu, choose install zip from sd, choose zip from sd, and install your
CM7 Zip.
If your CM7 did not include the gapps, you'll also want to install thoes as well (That will give you google play and other google base apps)
Now you should be able to reboot into your new CM7 install -- if not, hold the power button down untill the system powers off, and try booting again.
Post your results!
EDIT::::
I just realized it looks like you're booting from CM7, SD version. If that's the case, instead, you need to make yourself a bootable CWM recovery card. I keep one near my NT at all times as it allows me to create backups of the entire sytem before mucking about, and makes installing new ROM's a snap!
In order to make your own CWM card, format your current SD card to wipe it out,
then follow my last post Here
That should get you a bootable CWM SD card, from there you'll want to copy over your CM7 zip file, and, if your CM7 image dosent contain the gapps, the gapps I linked in the above post (Thanks Veronica for hosting!!!)
Hope this helps!

Dont give up!
I completely -trashed- my partition tables. (Unfortunately, wiping out my serial # in the process, no more B&N factory rom for me, but I only wanted it to root anyhow)
Took me a few days, but I got it working again.
If you need, feel free to add me on skype at lag0matic ((just tell me who you are!))
See below for my answers....
1) the most important to me is the apps. if i build the SD cm7 boot card, and boot from it will :
a)google play be able to install and work with it? - installed and works fine
b)will there still be apps missing because of the generic build.prop file - can't get chrome but Dolphin works fine.
c)is there a way to export a build.prop from a same size (screen density) similar cpu/gpu and import it to make missing apps work ? unknown
d)failing question c is there any way to get every app's apk file for the nook device ? (ie a google play link to apk ?)
2) on a class 10 sd card's fast enough to still be "snappy" ? - Class 4's work best with NT...the NT seem to have issues with class 10's.
3) on sd cards, UHS class 1 capable? - unknown
4) i saw a overclocking img that can be dropped on top of the stock cm7... the question i have is how far is considered normal for overclocking success? meaning, 100mhz is not worth the time, 300mhz over would be a nice boost but what are the chances of getting 300mhz stable for plugged in gaming. - I don't overclock it CM7 works fine for me.
5) codecs play a lot in playback of 720p mkv and mp4 files.... how well does the stock cm7 image play moderate bitrate 720p rips ? HD video works find in CM7. CM9/10 are still WIP. Dev are working hard updating the releases.
6) cm9.... how usable ? i need it to be idiot proof for the wife... if its "touchy"... i will opt for cm7...CM7 beta is stable...the beta version fixed a wifi issue that the alpha version had. CM9 looks good...some issues yet with videos and SODs' I haven't tried CM10 yet.
7) cm7 perm install... sooo many links, broken links, private files, multiple images with different caveats... and of course the issue with build.prop... any recent updates and less link-happy guides that dont require reading all 250 pages to make sure there is not a secret sauce img file update that doesn't faff your device? and how stable ... is stable ??? CM7 beta is very stable. Follow Celticweb's instructions. I've done both the sd version and the internal version.

Read First: Thread created ONLY for Korean Galaxy Note (SHV-E160 S/K/L ver) users. ROOT, ROM or any developments posted here cannot be used for N7000 or I717 Galaxy note ver.
I am not responsible if you damaged or bricked your phone!! Use at your own risk!! I do not own nor created the developments posted here.
I created this thread to post the developments and support for our beloved Korean Galaxy Note as well as to compile the tutorials inside and outside XDA all in 1 thread.
Note: If you decide to share a recent development here, please specify/tag if applicable to all SHV models or specific model only (e.g, [e160 s/k/l] or [e160 S only]).
Basic Commands/terms:
1.)Download mode: Turn off the phone. When it’s completely turned off press [Volume down (-) + Home + Power]. Once you see the Korean text press Volume up (+).
2.) Recovery mode: Turn off the phone. When it’s completely turned off press [Volume up (+) + Volume down (-) + Home + Power]. You should see the recovery mode at the top of your LCD screen (either tegrak or clockworkmod recovery). To navigate, press Volume up or down and use the power button as your “enter/ok” button.
3.) ROOT – gaining admin access to your phone.
4.) Root File: Some were mislead by searching for a folder named “root”. “Root” is equivalent to /sdcard (not external sdcard or a folder named “root”). So when the instruction tells you to put a specific file to the root it means that you put it inside the /sdcard.
5.) Flash – the term “flash” in android’s world means “transfer”. When a guide tells you to “flash” partition, it implies that you transfer the contents to a partition (such as system, cache, data, boot, recovery etc…). There are different kinds of data you can flash such as recovery, rom, kernel etc. this can be done by using your PC/Laptop using ODIN for PC or Heimdall for mac or ROM Manager.
3.) Checking your Korean Galaxy note version- Korean galaxy notes have different versions and it depends with the Korean carrier. To check if you have either S/K/L go to settings > About phone. Also note your basedband version (UI24, UH24, F09 etc….).
Developments:
1.) Successful debrick of Korean Galaxy note. Thanks to darkspr1te and to the contributors. You can find his page here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914359&page=10).
2.) ROOT- Before rooting your phone make sure you have upgraded to ICS 4.0.4. You can download Kies here (http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/) to upgrade or do it via phone by going to settings>about phone>system updates>check updates. Make sure your phone battery is at least over 50% . If you’re using a laptop, make sure the battery life is full or better plug it in. Don’t use a cheap cable. Please use the one you got from Samsung.
a) [e160 s/k/l] Root instructions by jairrab: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924535) I used this one to root my phone because it's easy to follow especially for root virgins. However, the instructions does not include the Clockworkmod recovery (CWM) installation. Hence, do this AFTER successfully installing the Tegrak Recovery:
I.) Download CWM Recovery (v6.0.1) cwm.tar here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/cyitd4ce3jq0zb4/cwm.tar)
II.) Put the downloaded file to the root of the phone (/sdcard)
III.) Follow the same method you used when you installed the Tegrak Recovery.
b) [e160L only] Root instructions by mycatisether: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1775015) found some useful info here (removing sms limit etc…) that are applicable to all Korean GN models.
3.) Post ROOT developments:
a.)BACK UP! After rooting your phone I advised that you do a NANDROID back up first (requiment: CWM recovery see 2.a in development section). It is a complete back-up of your phone. So anytime you can go back to your phone’s last condition. Do the following to make a nandroid back up using the CWM recovery.
I.) Flash CWM recovery
II.) Go to recovery mode
III.) Navigate using volume up or volume down and select “back up and restore” press power key to enter.
IV.) You should be in back up menu now. Navigate and select back up and hit the power button again. This will take awhile. Be patient.
V.) Once the back-up is done, navigate to “reboot system now” and hit the power button.
VI.) After reboot. Go to /sdcard and copy the clockworkmod folder to a safe place.
b.) Custom ROM:1.) [e160 s/k/l] CM9 Stable – Requirements: Rooted phone with CWM recovery (see 2.a under development section above)1.a) Download the following files and put inside the root (do not unzip)
CM9 ROM (https://www.dropbox.com/s/aaz0k19ddz0xytz/cm-9.1.0-quincyskt-KUKJIN-RC2.1.zip)
Front camera fix (https://www.dropbox.com/s/zqcjeegm6wn8vk2/old_note_front-cam_RC2.1.zip)
Google App for CM9 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/65703m0trd38gii/gapps.zip)
1.b) After copying the files in the root go to recovery mode (how to go to recovery mode? Read above).
1.c) In recovery mode select > “wipe data/factory reset” and select yes. > select “wipe cache partition” and select yes. > select advance > wipe dalvik and select yes.
1.d) After step 1.c STAY IN RECOVERY MODE and install the files you downloaded IN ORDER. Go to > “install zip from SD card” > 1st install CM9 ROM (cm-9.1.0-quincyskt-KUKJIN-RC2.1.zip) > 2nd install camera fix (old_note_front-cam_RC2.1.zip) > lastly, install Google app (gapps.zip).
1.e) Reboot and enjoy! Do not install the Korean keyboard! Or you can just uninstall it.
I personally use this CM9 ROM and it runs perfectly! I have no issues with the sms, battery, camera etc… All Korean bloatwares gone. No Korean keypad. Can send over 1000+ characters.
I really recommend the “Cobalt” theme as it made the CM9 even more smoother and you can download it here for free (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...h_result&rdid=com.dustinb.theme.cobalt&rdot=1) then go to settings>themes>select cobalt (ignore the message does not contain assets etc…).
If your SMS limit is not fixed. Download GO SMS Pro or Handcent SMS in google play store. Use it as your main messaging app. It will solve the problem.
Some have issues with their touchscreens. To solve this you can go to dialer and dial >*#2663# (no need to press the call button). Click “Touch key FW update” then reboot.
2.) Other ROMs – with some research and the help of the Koreans, Chinese and Vietnamese I was able to locate the following ROMs. Please note that I have not tested these ROMs, as such I cannot guarantee if they are working properly (however, darkspr1te told us the he will test some ROMs and provide feedback – just to prevent hard/soft brick). Some ROMs I found have instructions, some do not have. I’ll post my source and you can just use google translate and read the instructions from Koreans, Chinese and Vietnamese websites. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE TAGGING I MADE. (E.G., IF IT's TAGGED WITH [S/K/L] IT MEANS IT’S COMPATIBLE TO ANY KOREAN GN (SHV E160]. IF IT'S TAGGED WITH [L ONLY], IT MEANS IT’S ONLY APPLICABLE TO E160L GN VER. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
a) [S/K/L] MIUI 2.8.3 Beta (http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=80764&uk=2063664816) – known 4G and battery problems. Translated source here (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://search.matcl.com/b/imbeded/125842).
b) [L _UH24 ONLY] E160L UH24 GS3 style: (http://translate.googleusercontent....292641&usg=ALkJrhgNhnm3YD4P1xetBLAImDaM9vu5og
c)[T_UI24 ONLY] UI24 Jellybean style – really don’t know what is this. You need to log-in before you can see the downloadable file (http://matcl.com/b/usertheme/126333). Not sure if ROM or theme.
d) [S/K/L] Alpha1 ROM based on the stable CM9 above. I did not test it. Seems like icons were changed etc… You can download the ROM here ( still uploading to dropbox). See the translated original post here (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://search.matcl.com/b/imbeded/126864) . Follow the same process when you installed the CM9 ROM above.
e) [S_UH24 ONLY] Based on Original e160S_UH24 ROM but rooted. You can download it here (http://kuai.xunlei.com/d/JCIBDHYSVQTU) password is E160S-eruizhi (case sensitive). Translated original post here (http://translate.google.com/transla...u=http://bbs.eruizhi.com/android-229-1-1.html)
f) [K_UI24 ONLY] Based on Original e160k_UI24 ROM but rooted. You can download it here (http://bbs.eruizhi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=315&reltid=4&pre_thread_id=0&pre_pos=3&ext=). Translated original post here (http://translate.google.com/transla...d=315&reltid=4&pre_thread_id=0&pre_pos=3&ext=)
MORE TO COME... I will update the thread later.
I find the CM9 the best-cooked ROM for our SHVs to date. All issues were resolved in this ROM.
d.) Recommended apps for rooted phones (just search in google playstore): 1.) Battery Calibration (free)
2.) Titanium Backup (free or Pro)
3.) ROM Toolbox
4.) SD Maid
5.) Superuser or SuperSU
6.) Internet booster (really working for me)
USEFUL SOURCES:
1.) http://bbs.eruizhi.com/ (Chinese Website with useful infos)
2.) http://www.koxda.com/ (very informative but hard to get access for downloadable files.)
3.) http://matcl.com/ (Korean Website. Most of the cooked ROMs came from this website including the CM9. No CM10 update for now.)
4.) http://www.tinhte.vn (Very informative Vietnamese forum with lots of ROM links)
5.) http://www.115.com (This is a download site. Use the search toolbar to search for something and if you are lucky you may find yourself a treasure)
QUICK FIX:
1.) SMS Limit:
a.) Download GO SMS PRO or Handcent SMS. Make it your default sms app.
b.) They have other solution here (may not work to some KGN) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1775015)
2.) Removed U+ LTE boot and shutdown animations go here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1702580).

Issues with cm9:
Engineer mode cannot be activated using the cm9 dialer.
No S settings support. so no s-memo or any s-app. but you can still use your s-pen. Use SMBX for drawings.
No gesture support.
S-Pen writing hand solution for CM9>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1860384
Cm9 does not support S-pen apps and S-pen calibration. But it can still detect the pen.
However we have better alternatives and I personally use them even when I was still in touchwiz.
1.) SBMX - One of the best canvas app for galaxy note. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ngarside.memo&hl=en)
2.) Memo - Much like the S-app but better (you can crop picts, map, etc..) (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ngarside.memo&hl=en).
3.) Papyrus - Much like an S-note.
for gestures download >>> GMD Gesture Control Lite - you get more gesture with this app compared to touchwiz gestures. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nb29kbW9vZGRyb2lkLmdlc3R1cmVjb250cm9sZGVtbyJd)
I personally find the alternatives better than the s-apps..... But really... I miss the double tap quick note of touchwiz.
Android 4.2 Keyboard working on CM9.
Download and follow instructions from here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965999
swype thing is pretty cool.
Another Cm9 issue I noticed:
Installation failed for apps purchased from Google playstore. Only for apps that automatically install itself in the internal storage SD card. No problem for other apps that automatically install in internal storage.
Solution: unmount the external SD card and internal SD card then download and install the app from playstore. Once installed, mount the SD cards back and just transfer the app from internal storage to SD card.

4.) Root File: Some were mislead by searching for a folder named “root”. “Root” is equivalent to /sdcard (not external sdcard or a folder named “root”). So when the instruction tells you to put a specific file to the root it means that you put it inside the /sdcard.
5.) Flash – the term “flash” in android’s world means “transfer”. When a guide tells you to “flash” partition, it implies that you transfer the contents to a partition (such as system, cache, data, boot, recovery etc…). There are different kinds of data you can flash such as recovery, rom, kernel etc. this can be done by using your PC/Laptop using ODIN for PC or Heimdall for mac or ROM Manager.
3.) Checking your Korean Galaxy note version- Korean galaxy notes have different versions and it depends with the Korean carrier. To check if you have either S/K/L go to settings > About phone. Also note your basedband version (UI24, UH24, F09 etc….).
Developments:
1.) Successful debrick of Korean Galaxy note. Thanks to darkspr1te and to the contributors. You can find his page here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914359&page=10).
2.) ROOT- Before rooting your phone make sure you have upgraded to ICS 4.0.4. You can download Kies here (http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/) to upgrade or do it via phone by going to settings>about phone>system updates>check updates. Make sure your phone battery is at least over 50% . If you’re using a laptop, make sure the battery life is full or better plug it in. Don’t use a cheap cable. Please use the one you got from Samsung.
a) [e160 s/k/l] Root instructions by jairrab: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924535) I used this one to root my phone because it's easy to follow especially for root virgins. However, the instructions does not include the Clockworkmod recovery (CWM) installation. Hence, do this AFTER successfully installing the Tegrak Recovery:
I.) Download CWM Recovery (v6.0.1) cwm.tar here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/cyitd4ce3jq0zb4/cwm.tar)
II.) Put the downloaded file to the root of the phone (/sdcard)
III.) Follow the same method you used when you installed the Tegrak Recovery.
b) [e160L only] Root instructions by mycatisether: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1775015) found some useful info here (removing sms limit etc…) that are applicable to all Korean GN models.
3.) Post ROOT developments:
a.)BACK UP! After rooting your phone I advised that you do a NANDROID back up first (requiment: CWM recovery see 2.a in development section). It is a complete back-up of your phone. So anytime you can go back to your phone’s last condition. Do the following to make a nandroid back up using the CWM recovery.
I.) Flash CWM recovery
II.) Go to recovery mode
III.) Navigate using volume up or volume down and select “back up and restore” press power key to enter.
IV.) You should be in back up menu now. Navigate and select back up and hit the power button again. This will take awhile. Be patient.
V.) Once the back-up is done, navigate to “reboot system now” and hit the power button.
VI.) After reboot. Go to /sdcard and copy the clockworkmod folder to a safe place.
b.) Custom ROM:1.) [e160 s/k/l] CM9 Stable – Requirements: Rooted phone with CWM recovery (see 2.a under development section above)1.a) Download the following files and put inside the root (do not unzip)
CM9 ROM (https://www.dropbox.com/s/aaz0k19ddz0xytz/cm-9.1.0-quincyskt-KUKJIN-RC2.1.zip)
Front camera fix (https://www.dropbox.com/s/zqcjeegm6wn8vk2/old_note_front-cam_RC2.1.zip)
Google App for CM9 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/65703m0trd38gii/gapps.zip)
1.b) After copying the files in the root go to recovery mode (how to go to recovery mode? Read above).
1.c) In recovery mode select > “wipe data/factory reset” and select yes. > select “wipe cache partition” and select yes. > select advance > wipe dalvik and select yes.
1.d) After step 1.c STAY IN RECOVERY MODE and install the files you downloaded IN ORDER. Go to > “install zip from SD card” > 1st install CM9 ROM (cm-9.1.0-quincyskt-KUKJIN-RC2.1.zip) > 2nd install camera fix (old_note_front-cam_RC2.1.zip) > lastly, install Google app (gapps.zip).
1.e) Reboot and enjoy! Do not install the Korean keyboard! Or you can just uninstall it.
I personally use this CM9 ROM and it runs perfectly! I have no issues with the sms, battery, camera etc… All Korean bloatwares gone. No Korean keypad. Can send over 1000+ characters.
I really recommend the “Cobalt” theme as it made the CM9 even more smoother and you can download it here for free (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...h_result&rdid=com.dustinb.theme.cobalt&rdot=1) then go to settings>themes>select cobalt (ignore the message does not contain assets etc…).
If your SMS limit is not fixed. Download GO SMS Pro or Handcent SMS in google play store. Use it as your main messaging app. It will solve the problem.
Some have issues with their touchscreens. To solve this you can go to dialer and dial >*#2663# (no need to press the call button). Click “Touch key FW update” then reboot.
2.) Other ROMs – with some research and the help of the Koreans, Chinese and Vietnamese I was able to locate the following ROMs. Please note that I have not tested these ROMs, as such I cannot guarantee if they are working properly (however, darkspr1te told us the he will test some ROMs and provide feedback – just to prevent hard/soft brick). Some ROMs I found have instructions, some do not have. I’ll post my source and you can just use google translate and read the instructions from Koreans, Chinese and Vietnamese websites. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE TAGGING I MADE. (E.G., IF IT's TAGGED WITH [S/K/L] IT MEANS IT’S COMPATIBLE TO ANY KOREAN GN (SHV E160]. IF IT'S TAGGED WITH [L ONLY], IT MEANS IT’S ONLY APPLICABLE TO E160L GN VER. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
a) [S/K/L] MIUI 2.8.3 Beta (http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=80764&uk=2063664816) – known 4G and battery problems. Translated source here (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://search.matcl.com/b/imbeded/125842).
b) [L _UH24 ONLY] E160L UH24 GS3 style: (http://translate.googleusercontent....292641&usg=ALkJrhgNhnm3YD4P1xetBLAImDaM9vu5og
c)[T_UI24 ONLY] UI24 Jellybean style – really don’t know what is this. You need to log-in before you can see the downloadable file (http://matcl.com/b/usertheme/126333). Not sure if ROM or theme.
d) [S/K/L] Alpha1 ROM based on the stable CM9 above. I did not test it. Seems like icons were changed etc… You can download the ROM here ( still uploading to dropbox). See the translated original post here (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://search.matcl.com/b/imbeded/126864) . Follow the same process when you installed the CM9 ROM above.
e) [S_UH24 ONLY] Based on Original e160S_UH24 ROM but rooted. You can download it here (http://kuai.xunlei.com/d/JCIBDHYSVQTU) password is E160S-eruizhi (case sensitive). Translated original post here (http://translate.google.com/transla...u=http://bbs.eruizhi.com/android-229-1-1.html)
f) [K_UI24 ONLY] Based on Original e160k_UI24 ROM but rooted. You can download it here (http://bbs.eruizhi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=315&reltid=4&pre_thread_id=0&pre_pos=3&ext=). Translated original post here (http://translate.google.com/transla...d=315&reltid=4&pre_thread_id=0&pre_pos=3&ext=)
MORE TO COME... I will update the thread later.
I find the CM9 the best-cooked ROM for our SHVs to date. All issues were resolved in this ROM.
d.) Recommended apps for rooted phones (just search in google playstore): 1.) Battery Calibration (free)
2.) Titanium Backup (free or Pro)
3.) ROM Toolbox
4.) SD Maid
5.) Superuser or SuperSU
6.) Internet booster (really working for me)
USEFUL SOURCES:
1.) http://bbs.eruizhi.com/ (Chinese Website with useful infos)
2.) http://www.koxda.com/ (very informative but hard to get access for downloadable files.)
3.) http://matcl.com/ (Korean Website. Most of the cooked ROMs came from this website including the CM9. No CM10 update for now.)
4.) http://www.tinhte.vn (Very informative Vietnamese forum with lots of ROM links)
5.) http://www.115.com (This is a download site. Use the search toolbar to search for something and if you are lucky you may find yourself a treasure)
QUICK FIX:
1.) SMS Limit:
a.) Download GO SMS PRO or Handcent SMS. Make it your default sms app.
b.) They have other solution here (may not work to some KGN) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1775015)
2.) Removed U+ LTE boot and shutdown animations go here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1702580).

Hi dycz21,
First of all i appreciate your work for bringing out CM 9 ROM for our beloved E160S/L/K.
I've been waiting for this for a long time.
Gonna install it tonight.
As you have already installed this ROM, are there any other major issues other than S pen settings?
Anyways thanks again.
:good:

Installing apps from Playstore always failed for apps that automatically install in SD Card. Solution is unmount the sd card(internal and external) then install the app from Playstore. Then mount back the SD cards after the app has been installed in phone memory. No problem for Playstore apps that automatically install in phone memory.
I tried to move some apps from phone memory to SD card but its not working (using apps2SD). Will try to find the solution.
S-Pen is still recognized we just dont have the s-pen settings and s touchwiz apps.
Im happy with the cm9 ROM. its fast as compared to touchwiz.
By the way, before installing make sure to back up your contacts, messages, viper and whatsapp messages and your APN settings. Also do a NAND back up. You need to set your APN manually after installing the cm9.

Another Cm9 issue I noticed:
Installation failed for apps purchased from Google playstore. Only for apps that automatically install itself in the internal storage SD card. No problem for other apps that automatically install in internal storage.
Solution: unmount the external SD card and internal SD card then download and install the app from playstore. Once installed, mount the SD cards back and just transfer the app from internal storage to SD card.

Hi dycz21,
You mean that there is no problem if i'm installing directly to internal storage. the problem is there only if i install directly to external sd card.
Please correct me if i'm wrong

My understanding: When you go to "settings" > "storage" you will see your storage is divided into 3 sections: (1) Internal storage (phone memory)/ (2) Internal storage (sd card) / (3) sd card (external storage). If you download from Playstore some apps automatically install in storage #1 (phone memory). For this we have no problem. For apps that directly install in storage #2, this we have the problem. Installation will fail for this apps. Solution is unmount storage #2 and #3 then start to download from playstore and install. The app will be forced to install in the phone memory and installation is successful.
So after you installed the app and decided to move the app to storage #2 or #3 you will encounter a new problem. Moving the app to #2 and #3 will always fail. I am still trying to figure out a solution. I think the chinese already sorted this issues but I dont have access to their website to download the files. Hopefully darkspr1te can help us as he have access to the website. I am still waiting for the koreans to post the solution.

Recently installed the great Lollipop 5.1.1 ROM by decatf. Had some minor problems, and then learned about the 6.0.1 ROM. Downloaded the zip files for ROM and GAPPS, copied to the TAB, booted into TWRP, and tried to install. System went OK, but when I tried to install GAPPS, got a message about "not enough memory". Without GAPPS, the Tab doesn't do much. After several attempts, I told TWRP to wipe everything (checked all the boxes under wipe). Now, of course, I have NO FILES on the Tab, and seem to have no way to get files there. i.e., without a ROM on the Tab, I cannot drag files from the PC.
Looked for a file that I could install with ODIN. No luck.
Loaded ADB on my PC and tried "Sideload" under TWRP's advanced menu. Sideload says:
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to stat '/data/.layout_version'
...done
Full SELinux support is present.]
MTP Enabled
Starting ADB sideload feature...
On the PC, I get Total xfer: 0.00x
and on TWRP it says "Failed"
It's embarassing, but I've run out of ideas. It looks like ALL I have is TWRP. If I could get the ROM and GAPPS to the Tab, I could install them.
Can somebody please point me toward a solution?
Thanks

THANKS for the speedy and helpful response. To clarify, click "Enable MTP" once and the button changes to "Disable MTP", click on "Disable", then click on "Enable" a second time. When "Enabled", the p4wifi appears on the Windows File Explorer list. I drag the ROM file and Windows says "Copying". HOWEVER, the file does not copy. Maybe it's my driver? Downloaded Samsung Kies and reinstalled. Rebooted PC. Same thing happens.
Darn it, this SHOULD have worked.
Return to Stock?
Maybe the only choice left is to search for a stock (Samsung) image file for the p4wifi, use ODIN to flash that, and then start over with the 6.0.1 ROM?
Success...... (almost)
Downloading a stock ROM turns out to be more frustrating than one might think. i.e. Samsung doesn't seem to make ROM's available, and the web sites one gets to all appear to want a 'subscription' to download in less than a couple of hours. (I went to bed and let it go overnight!) What's the deal that there seems to be a Samsung "Region Code" for everyplace except the USA?
Used ODIN to flash the stock ROM. Once the tablet booted up, I copied 6.0.1 and flashed with TWRP. BUT..... had a devil of a time flashing gapps. Got an error, "not enough space on System partition" for every version of open gapps larger than "nano". WTF? The device is basically empty! How can there be not enough space?
Anyway, thanks to decatf, I now enjoy Android Marshmallow on a Galaxy Tab 10.1 when most commercially available tablets (except Nexus, of course) are still on Lollipop or older.
Thanks for the helpful suggestions and patience on this forum.
My original problem, alas, remains. The Amazon Kindle app does not work on this Marshmallow ROM, and it is unclear what can be done, or even where to turn for help.
Success at Last
Thanks to a post about a different software issue, I tried loading an older version of the Amazon Kindle app. Bizarre, but true . . . . now it works!
Have successfully read one of the Kindle books which caused the Kindle app to force close before.
In fact, it appears that Google Play has since updated that old Kindle app to the latest version (4.19.0.131) and it still works.
Maybe loading the older version set something up that the very newest version does not when loaded from scratch?
Anyway, I'm reading and this old Tablet lives on!
Thanks
