I'm running CM7 and whenever I try to download anything from the market or update existing apps I get an error that says insufficient space and it won't let me. I have plenty of space on my SD card and my internal storage. Any ideas?
Edit: I think I might have fixed it. I installed the new market so I reverted back to the one that came with CM7 and it appears to be working now.

Recently I can't put any apps on my SD Card. I installed a custom ROM awhile back, but it bricked. And now, when I try to install or even update an app, it says there is no space. When I go to settings and check my storage space, my SD card has all space available, but it says Application space is 0.00B.
How can I fix this?

Hmm. If you're rooted, I'm assuming, then use Titanium Backup to back up all of your apps and data, then use this link:

To odin back to stock, this will fix all of your issues, then just reflash a custom rom, preferably a newer one like Nero or Axura.
"Error while downloading "(appname)". There is insufficent space on this device."
I seem to have gotten this infamous Market problem on my phone.
Every time I try to install or update an app, I'm met with this problem.
I've deleted the Market data, unmounted and remounted the SD card, deleted updates to the Market, restarted the device and I still get the same problem, even though I have enough space on my device.
I also would rather have an option that doesn't involve me factory resetting my phone.
Can anyone help? I'm on Froyo right now, if that helps.
I'm also using the new market (3.0.27), but it happens regardless.
do you move apps to your sdcard?

Yeah, all the ones I can move to SD I have done.
Though, I still have space on the SD card too.
Had the same problem with Star Chart app.
After I cleaned > 100M from internal memory, I still was not able to install this app from the Market. Ended up downloading apk from the internet (I'd already paid for it) and installing it manually. So it seems like a problem with the Market..
There was a fix program, even on market. I think it was called market Fix. It basicaly puts market cache folder to sd card and links to it. Thats it.
Anyone else having severe space problems after the update? I am rooted and s-off and I just installed one of the zipped updates and I went from over 3 GB free space to being unable to install apps due to less than 400MB free. I wiped the phone before install and I only copied my pictures back over. Storage is showing "Other" as 13.22GB.
I found the issue. It appears that /sdcard now links to /data/media/0 rather than /data/media. I thought the files in the sdcard directory were all deleted during the flash but they were not, so there are still copies of my data and clockworkmod backups.
I believe this is creating another problem: I am trying to install apps and I am receiving the message "Couldn't Install On USB Storage Or SD Card." Is there any way to change the link for /sdcard/ back to data/media?

I'm running the latest CM snapshot. I've been getting the infamous "Insufficient Storage Available" error for a while not, usually with chrome. There are various solutions. The "delete /data/app-lib/<app>/lib" solution was working ok for me but I can no longer find chrome in there anymore for some reason. I've already moved every app that can be moved to the "internal" SD card. All the "solutions" are really just workarounds trying to clear space.
Is it possible to increase the size of the partition by re partitioning the internal storage?

I know that apps can be moved to the SD card. That isnt a solution nor my question.
I'm asking of the internal storage can be repartitioned
I'm having the same issue. I desperately need to reparation my phone.
i'm running viper rom with the sdcard swap mode.
i'm now back to getting insufficient memory messages when trying to update apps or sometimes run apps. it shows i still have plenty of free memory... i have been moving apps to sd card and that works for a little while.

You need to look at internal storage, not SD card storage.
So I did system dump today to explore the files on my computer see what's hogging all of my space.
Background: I have only have 13 apps installed.
What I found is that my data/data is 346 MB and my data/delvik-cache is 452 MB.
So the files installed by CM are getting more numerous and of greater size. Not sure what to do to solve this problem.

same issue here. davlik cache is similar to a cache of your applications so they start faster. So it doesnt matter if you move apps to SD, you'll still have davlik.
Also, many apps will still store data in internal memory eventhough the app itself is on SD. I wish there were a way to move the data.
Or as I initially suggested, re-partitioning.

well, there isn't ANY easy re-partitioning tool for android out in the wild that i KNOW of ... but, (at least to let you know) ... I'm currently still trying to _hack_ something together similar to the internal storage-partition upgrades that the other HTC One devices with MSM8960 recieved ... where they officially unified the /user partition with the internal /sd-card (fat) partition! ... it might take a few weeks until i have something to show around (as work keeps me very busy throughout the week), but i'm working on it.
just as a quick question so CM currently DOES put it's dalvik to the /user partition??? i thought they put it to /cache??? (at least on CM10.1 and CM10.2) ................ so feedback would be highly welcome :laugh:
I know there have been tons of posts about "insufficient storage", but I havent seen one that says what's really going on if I have 950 mb out of 1.5 gigs internal space free and am still getting this message regardless of whether I am trying to install apps from the Play store or from downloaded APKs. I've cleared the cache of all my apps. I do not have any duplicate app-lib files. I am running rooted stock version of Android, not a rom. When I first started getting insufficient storage warning I went in and cleared out an additional 700mb by linking apps to SD through the Link2SD app if that helps. Nothing is wrong with my phone. Everything including all my existing apps work fine. I just cant install any new ones despite having so much free space. Any suggestions? Thank you!
I'm not too familiar with link2sd but in many cases if you change the default storage location rathar than use default it can cause such an error. Also, tho less frequent s if you change tue SD readahead value to other than default (default =124k)
