I've been having this problem since I first installed a custom ROM, and my little brother has had this for a while as well. Why is it that I/we cannot download larger apps from the market? The download starts fine, but cancels after a few seconds giving no error. It just aborts. I was told to format cache and delete Donwloader and Market cache but neither of those worked. What should I/we do?
Yes, I have used Google and yes, I have searched here. I didn't find any answer.

I flashed the 2.3.4 fruitcake found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009 and now whenever I try to update an app it says download unsuccessful. I can't download any apps either. I've tried clearing the cache and data for the market. I've also reflashed the fruitcake multiple times and tried it but it still gives the same error. How do I fix this?
EDIT: Read my next post for the insufficient space error.
Why using that system ?
Flash a good ROM ..
Try to uninstall your current market and install this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272152
If not working, you can find more solutions by using Search option on XDA or Google.

System? It's stock...
I've tried it with CM7 too, same problem
That market apk doesn't work either. However, the new error says "There is insufficient space on the device". The device has 2 gigs of free space...
I've searched google and the forums. The standard fixes don't seem to be working (clearing market data/cache).
Can anyone help me out? I've googled the insufficient space error but I can't find anything that works.
What happend if you install app from pc ?
Go ahead and install this for example : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity
Click install, after that connect to your google account, next it will send the installation to your device.

So online it says "This app will be downloaded to your device shortly" and then on my Atrix it says the same error: "Error downloading 'XDA-Developers'. There is insufficient space on the device."
Google solutions:
If you receive a "Download unsuccessful" message when attempting to download an app, try the following troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:
For paid applications, confirm your credit card information is up to date by signing in to your Google Checkout account.
Clear your Market cache (visit Settings > Applications > Clear cache).
Restart your phone, then try downloading the app again.
Wait 10 minutes, and try your download again.
Confirm there is connectivity to either a wireless or cellular network on your device, and contact your mobile service provider if you aren't connected.
Ensure there’s enough space on your phone or tablet for the app to install.
If none of the above steps work, try remounting your SD card.
Visit Menu > Settings > Storage > Unmount SD card; then remount the SD card from the same menu by selecting Remount SD card, or restart the device if the remount option isn’t available.

Hello how are you?
I have rooted my phone and installed a custom rom, however market does not allow me to install anything. I have the SuperUser app (useless) but no filemanager. I try to download apk from internet on my mobile, without luck again - Installation Unsuccessful. Any Help?
boot into Recovery and wipe Dalivik Cache and Cache, reboot into system and find the Market application
Menu
Settings
Applications
Manage Applications
All
Market
Force Stop
Clear Data
Clear Cache
This solved this problem with me before but may differ but give it a try it may help

If your sdcard have folder .android_secure in FAT32 system, you should remove it . And everythings will be ok
So here's my problem, when i try to install a huge app trought the market i got the message "Error [...] insufficient space on the device" or something like that.
I tried the EVS Market fix app, Cache Cleaner, wiping cache and dalvik-cache, but when i try to install for example "Where's my watter"(22MB) i got the error.
But this only happens with huge app, i can install any other app, i tried one of 4MB and worked fine.
I'm using Link2SD, partitioned SD card, and i got 110MB of free space on my internal memory.
And the ROM i'm using is on my signature.
Thanks in advance.
Its not abt ur internal memory...its the prob with cache..
Sry for my bad english

I had the same problem too..From what i remember,you should force close it,wipe data,wipe cache.It might solve the problem,its a bug with that market version.I searched a lot at the time i had this problem and i figured this from google forums itself
wipe your cache partition

I had that same problem a while ago. I saw that wiping data and cache of market app solves the problem for a while but after a couple of days it would come back again. I did some research and found(cant put url in here): search in market for MarketFix from Felipe Aron.
It worked for me. Hope that helps you.

I already tried wiping the caches, i'll try this MarketFix from Felipe Aron, and maybe someone has the link for the market app from stock rom?
i faced the problem b4! i have no choice but to chg to another custom rom.. ><
Unistall updates
Once I faced this problem too, I uninstalled the updates and got older version of market it worked fine and it got updated again and I never had the problem again
Just clear the Market cache. Don't do any other unnecessary steps.
Already tried that @SuperAce609 and didnt worked.
Ha, it's funny...
I am having the same problem and am running Grif's CM7.1.
I have tried uninstalling the Market updates and clearing it's cache and data (didn't help)
I have tried wiping Delvik Cache from CMR and no dice there either.
Tried the Market Fix app from the market and no fix there either.
I am thinking about starting fresh and re flashing.
Any body else have any other thoughts?
You have the same issue? Only with large app's?

Yeah dude, I am having exactly the same issue. I can install smaller programs, but I just tried installing Where's my Water and I get an error saying that there is insufficient space on the device.
I still haven't figured it out yet and I think I may have eff'ed up my Android Market in the process. I uninstalled updates and tried to download Where's my Water again and while that didn't work, my market is no longer updated even after I took the freeze off.
I am getting very frustrate.
If no solution, I am going to reflash and see if I still have this problem (but going to do it on the weekend).
I would like to know if it disguised the NT as other device because a lot of apps on Google Play is consider "not compatible" with NT.
I tried to mod the build.prop to be considered as Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 as they have the same monitor size and CPU as following, but I failed to let Google Play mis-recognize it:
ro.build.date.utc=1332576295
ro.build.user=se.infra
ro.build.host=SEP-99
ro.build.id=IML74K
ro.product.model=GT-P3113
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=espressowifiue
ro.product.device=espressowifi
ro.product.board=GT-P3113
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.build.product=espressowifi
ro.build.description=espressowifiue-user 4.0.3 IML74K P3113UEALCB release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/espressowifiue/espressowifi:4.0.3/IML74K/P3113UEALCB:user/release-keys
I clear the data of Google Player services and restar the NT after finishing the mod. It still recognize it as NT (It does not recognize as a new device in my google account)
The rom I'm using is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512373
Please let me know if you know about the rom I'm asking or how to cheat the Google Play. Thank you.
What are you trying to install? I haven't run into anything while using this ROM that has shown up as incompatible...
Not sure all those edits are needed but did you boot to recovery and wipe dalvic cashe and cashe partition after wiping market data and cashe in rom? If after rebooting, once you open the play store it should ask you to accept the license again. I have experienced in earlier android devices that it just took patients and a couple reboots for the settings to take.

I did not go to recovery and wipe dalvic cashe and cashe partition after wiping market data and cashe in rom. But when I opened the play store, it did ask you to accept the license again. However, still "incompatible". It does not say it is incompatible, it just hid the apps I want.
BTW, I test those edits and it doesn't work.
You are using an official build.prop as opposed to cm10 one.
You need to find cm10 espresso build.prop and copy that one

In fact, I'm a new user of CM. I really failed to find it. Could you please provide me a link?
Thank you.
BTW, I also look at the build.prop of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843366 (I did not flash it to my device, I just open it by Winrar), which is said to be "disguised as Galaxy Nexus for more apps to choose from app store", I found that it still sates "B&N Nook Tablet".
So now I doubt that if modify the build.prop really help.
Do you have an issue like me? Or did you make some changes to let your NT has access to all the apps?

try this: http://gizmostorm.com/how-to-fix-package-file-is-invalid-error-on-google-play-store/
In case above steps didn’t worked for you
Boot your device into recovery.
Clear cache partition.
Head over to Advance options.
Clear Dalvik cache.
Simply reboot your droid.
Try Play Store once again and probably you will end up with success in installing any apps and games without any error.
