Hey everybody -
This is my first post here. I'm sorry if there is an answer already posted to this and if i'm just reposting, but i haven't seen any of this information anywhere, and apparently i have to make 5 q&a posts before i can start posting stuff where i need too, so i'm trying to throw some useful info to the community to gain this privilage
Anyways, onto the topic -
Many people that are installing a new ROM on there EVO 3D are getting an error when google tries to auto install apps after flashing. The error states that there is not enough space left on their devices to continue installing apps, even though there are reports of users having 700+mb free for app storage. Developers are claiming that it's because you didn't wipe dalvik/cache before flashing. I've found that this is not true, but I do know the fix, but don't completely under stand why this happens.
The fix:
The fix to this problem is a very simple one.
1. Install the rom like you normally would (boot to recovery, NAND backup, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, wipe partition cache, and wipe cache, then flash from zip, then select reboot device)
2. When the phone is booted up, type in all your info as usual to sync your accounts. When your done with this step, you'll notice google tries to start installing all of your apps, which it'll eventually crash on due to space.
3. You can do this before or after it throws you the error message about space, but the next step is reboot your phone back into recovery. From there, you're going to wipe your dalvik cache and cache (again), and then reboot the phone again.
That's it! You should now be able to install all of your apps again without getting storage errors!
I'm not a developer, but if i'm to take a guess at why this happens, i'm guessing something about the install, or maybe even the initial boot process of a rom being ran for the first time, for some reason is flooding our cache space, thus firing false alarms for being out of space. Therefor, by cleaning the cache space after the rom install is completed and booted, the phone no longer notices the space issues. I could be wrong on this, but this seems like a logical answer to me.
If this helps, let me know! Also feel free to correct me if i'm wrong on anything i posted, but this method seems to work for me! If this needs to be in a different category, feel free to move it! As a new member, i'm very limited on where i can post things...
Enjoy your newly rooted and modded EVO 3D!

Welcome to the community, and nice first post! I haven't had the issue that you're referring to, but I have indeed noticed others having the issue. Good to know that fixes it up, in case I ever encounter it. Thanks.

no problem! this community has helped me TONS in the past, even though i haven't said anything about it (due to not being able to post in developer threads yet). I reflashed and wiped my phone about 4-5 times before realizing that the cache had to be cleaned AFTER the install and first boot of the new rom, and all the dev's kept stating it was from not wiping prior to flashing, which i did every time. Hopefully this will save some people time and headaches and i'm sure the dev's will soon find a fix to this, as they seem to work very fast at finding bugs and cleaning em up.
more or less i would say its because the market will download apps to the cache first...then install them to the phone...
the insufficient space is mostly what happens when the cache gets filled.
thats my educated guess on the matter.
also welcome to xda. you're gonna like it here
When I do this, it forgets all my 130 apps and I have to go look for them manually. Only ROMs that are using the new market do this to me.
Welcome to xda.
Another suggestion to add to the nice info here is. When you boot up a rom for the first time dont sign in. Immediately go to settings/accounts & sync and uncheck auto sync. Then head to settings/privacy then uncheck automatically restore. Then sign in. This is a option for anyone who doesn't want to reboot.

that would make a lot of sense as well - if that's the case, maybe people should let google market crash the cache before they clear it out again? that's what i did when i got it working... it was one of those things where i just watched and wondered, "is it going to do it all this time?", and of course when it didn't, that's when i discovered re-clearing the cache again in recovery fixes it. I noticed that by clearing the application cache (settings/applications/manage programs/market/clear cache) the problem still persists, and the only way to get google apps to install again is by clearing cache in recovery, which made me think it was an installation/boot thing. but i'm still learning, like many of us here
thanks for the input!

this is an issue i noticed as well - i had to re-add my apps manually after it only added 24 of the 120 i had going. but hey, beggers can't be choosers, and i'm just mostly happy that i got a new rom going with everything functioning properly within 2 weeks of the phones release!
If anyone knows how to re-start the app sync succesfully without space errors, that might be good info to include in this post

Did you clear the cache or data in the app itself or from recovery?? If you clear cache from recovery, this shouldn't happen. If it still does, usually downloading another app rebuilds the market cache.
What you can do to fix it is use Titanium Backup and there is a setting: Menu > More > Market Doctor and it fixes this issue. But, I think it only works in the paid version. It's well worth the few bucks though!

Recovery. Downloading another app doesn't rebuild the cache either. Now it's gotten to the point where no ROM will restore any of my apps at all, it basically thinks I've never downloaded anything. So now I've gotta try and remember the 130 or so apps I had installed.
Not complaining, just an observation. One of the caveats of rooting a new device
Welcome to the community.
A really easy way to fix this is to just clear the cache and data for the Market in Settings > Applications, and that has worked for numerous people using my ROM but I don't think it'd be any different for any other ROM.

I tried this method on vipers rc1.2 and supra ROM, and it didn't fix it for either - I continued to get insufficient space warnings, even after rebooting. The only thing that worked for my device was going into recovery to clear the cache.
You can also go into terminal emulator and delete the Download.apk files in the cache.
You'd think Google would be a little smarter at this. All the market would need to do is download fewer apps at a time, as the files are cleared once the installation is complete.

I feel a s0be market fix coming on. Although I have not seen the issue, you could pwn the cache and symlink it out of /data and into /system. A genious linux guy, seriously, genious, made this hack back on the hero, fixed market download errors EVERY time.

You could try reflashing the rom and signing into your google account right away. And let it sync. Just a thought.

That won't make any difference if there is no room to actually store the downloads. Downloads from the Market go into /cache while downloading and then move to /data/app or /system/app, depending on the app. Hence why clearing cache fixes it.

That's what causes the market problem - I tried wiping and flashing both roms multiple times with the same result - if you flash a new ROM with the new market, and your market tries to sync a large number of apps, its going to flood the cache space and stop allowing the installation of apps until you go into recovery and clear the cache there... Then it all works fine, except for having to add all your apps one by one.

I tried something similar, but not exactly like you said earlier. I set my accounts to sync, but immediately went into the market while it was syncing, and cancelled everything. This would've still left the user picking each app to re-download one by one, because I believe there's no way to restart the app sync. I ended up buying titanium, and used that to put all my apps back on - its much less of a headache.

Hey guys,
Starting today I have been having a problem with the Market and it saying it doesn't have enough memory to install something. For example the Flash update released today. I try to update and it fails saying it doesn't have enough memory. If I look at free space I have like 2gb free on the phone. I can still download other applications bigger than the update, but it isn't letting me update. I have tried clearing market cache etc. I had the same problem when Fring released an update the day before yesterday. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still couldn't/cant get it to even reinstall. Is their anything you guys might recommend?
Also I have been having a problem with the contacts application. I click on a contact and it says contact not found, or something to that effect. It is like it looses all my contacts and a little bit later they work fine(usually after a restart).
Just seems like I am having lots of problems at the moment. Is their any suggestions for an easy fix? Can I just reflash rom only, and if I were to do that would I loose all my applications etc?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Blaine

1. MARKET.....try clearing data/cache in menu/settings/apps/manage apps/all/market then reboot and open Market.....should help
2. The contacts issue is pretty strange...do you sync using Google or a Backup Assistant?
Yes you can reboot recovery, wipe cache and in advanced wipe dalvik cache and reflash the ROM your on...it will rewrite system/ and your apps/data will be left as is
ALSO, try a different ROM....I have personally run all teh Froyo ROMs and currently run BAMF Stripped v1.7 with no issues at all.....
Updated my Galaxy S2 from 2.3.6 to 4.0.3 and everything went fine but when i got to installing applications i got to about 80% so i restarted and it went to what i think is 99%-100%, a wiped cache and it reinstall applications but same thing stuck on installating apps.
When you say 'installing apps' do you mean when the phone syncs with your google account and re-installs your apps from the market, or are you trying to manually install them yourself from the market or backups i.e. titanium?

no the screen is black and there is a bar thats full and a text above that says installing applications the phone is in "desktop" but its above so i cant use the phone, it was first improving apps (318) and then this.
Its all a part of updating the phone to ICS
Ah sorry yes I remember that bit now when I upgraded. Didn't have any problems for me, Maybe a full wipe of everything including the cache in CWM before flashing again might help. Besides that there's not much more I could really suggest. I'm sure there's someone here a bit more advanced that could help your problem.

Is the version from samfirmware that I'm using along with cfroot with no problems. Make sure to do all the wipes (FR, Cache, Dalvik Cache). It worked for me the first time. Also, it's an awesome stock rom.

i was stuped not to write it all down so i dont know versions beside KL1 when i was picking firmware file, a really dont want to wipe everything cause i lose all my data etc, a did a backup with cwm manager on 2.3.6 but i dont know if i can use that when i have 4.0.3?
I had a similar issue when i first upgrated to ICS. Stuck on "Installing Applications" screen for a while - but i just left it and eventually it went through ok.
Did you ever resolve your issue?
Hi guys, i have the same error, my phone is stucked at the "Installing Applications" screen. I have contacted samsung trough the chat service at their website but they told me to leave it at the samsung service but i don't want to leave it there for around 30 days. I read that with a hard reset it will go back to work again. My question is: How I do a hard reset with my phone stucked? I don't have root.
Will take time if you were updating , if 15 minutes or more have passed do a data cache wipe from recovery.
And remember what wipe means...

Hi, thanks for your help. I did a wipe cache but it didn't help. Wiped data and now my phone is working again and with ICS. But without my old data.
Hi,
I've just got the same problem, but could solve WITHOUT WIPING. Do the following:
- Restart phone
- on the lock screen, instead of swiping and getting stuck in "installing applications", just drop down notifications
- on notifications menu, tap where it should say "low on disk space". It will open "Applications" from the setting menu.
- Uninstall some apps until you get around "250MB" from the 2GB reserved by the system (250MB was what worked for me, that's the reason of the number; I had lower than 200MB before). I tried to move apps to SD Card to no avail, that's why I uninstalled the apps.
Hope this helps.
I had the same problem too.
Tried something similar to mbernstein
I had wave launcher still installed since it was an upgrade and i opened up my file manager with it and deleted around 1 GB backup stuff.Then restarted. It didn't work. Restarted again and then it didn't get stuck at the same place
Hope it helps

Not only will My Galaxy S2 not let me install new apps (trying to install VX Connectbot at a little over 800K) although it has 1.97 GB of internal storage space free, it won't let me update four apps either. They were sitting there trying to update for about half an hour before I gave up.
There's nothing wrong with the (Wifi) Internet Connection, as proved by other apps on the phone as well as by the Google Play Store updater.
If I go into Settings, Apps to look at the Play Store entry, it never finishes updating the Cache and Data storage figures, so the 'Clear Data' button is greyed out. If it wasn't I could clear the data and force the app to re-download it from Google's server. I've also tried rebooting but this makes no difference.
I really don't want to have to do a factory reset to fix this so I'd be grateful for any ideas. The phone is running stock Jelly Bean supplied by Samsung.

I don't think Stock JB is rolled out yet by Samsung. But anyways try to clear cache and dalvik cache from recovery. This mostly resolves issues in any ROM.
Secondly, what are you referring to when you mention internal storage? If it's data partition then 1.97 is total size and not free. So please check that.
Lastly what ROM are you coming from? If its ICS then a factory reset is strongly recommended.

Sorry for the confusion. I'm trying to handle a million things at the same time, which is always when something else goes wrong. It is, of course, running ICS 4.0.4. I thought about clearing the cache via recovery and I'll do that if I don't find another solution. The phone won't be out of action for too long.

It was running Gingerbread when I got it but I did the factory reset before doing an OTA update to ICS.
No issues
Since you are now on 4.0.4 do not do a factory reset since your kernel might have the Brick bug.
There are threads that provide steps on re flashing ROM over 4.0.4. You will need to first flash a custom kernel that does not have this bug like Siyah or cf-root and then flash a ROM.
Just ensure that you follow the steps properly to get a clean install.

I powered down and booted into Recovery, wiped the cache, and rebooted. It only took about 40 seconds to reboot which seems strange to me as under 2.2 and, I think, 2.3, it took a few minutes to rebuild the cache. Then the first thing that happens on keying in my pin and reaching the home page, I get the message, "Unfortunately, eBay has stopped." Maybe this has something to do with the problem, maybe it doesn't.
One other thing I noticed earlier but didn't mention as it didn't seem relevant is that some apps have changed their name in Settings, Applications. For example, Picshop Lite is now listed as air.ca.esdot.PicShop.Lite.
Anyway, it has made no difference. I look at any app in the list and it sits there saying "Computing...". I can force-stop running apps but I can't install apps, uninstall apps, or update apps. I'm going to leave this overnight (it's late here) and if I can't think of anything else before tomorrow I'll have to do a factory reset and reinstall everything.
Thanks, acekay, your post appeared while I was still editing mine. I knew absolutely nothing about this bug so you might have saved me from bricking the phone. The page you linked to mentions CWM. Since mine is a Samsung stock ROM it would be the stock recovery I'd be using. Is this likely to brick the phone? I guess it's better to be on the safe side and follow the instructions.
I'm also wondering about my legal position here. I got the phone from Virgin Mobile (UK) on a monthly plan. It was running Gingerbread before I did the OTA update to ICS and the update went OK. If the phone messes up and I do a factory reset and that bricks the phone, who is responsible, I wonder, Virgin Mobile or Samsung...
It took some lateral thinking but I think I've solved it. I powered down the phone, took out the micro-SD card, and powered up again. I went into Settings, Applications, Google Play Store and cleared the Data. I then ran the Play Store app and ran the four updates that were pending and everything went OK, so I tried installing VX Connectbot and that went OK, too, as did uninstalling the original Connectbot. As a precaution I uninstalled the eBay app just in case that was causing the problem. It's possible that somehow the eBay app got installed onto the SD card in error and that might have something to do with it stopping with an error every time I rebooted the phone.
I've noticed that the names in Settings, Applications are all now back to normal so I'm guessing that in fact it was something in Play Store's data that was messed up. Of course, that might have been caused by the eBay app. <Sarah Connor> God, a person could go crazy thinking about this. </Sarah Connor>
Anyway, thanks again, acekay. Working through my problem and your responses led to a solution.
Good to know its solved. So the issue was with moving the apps to SD . Better still that you tried this before a reset.
In case you plan on playing with custom ROMs in future just keep this bug in mind. Better to be cautious than sorry.

Well, I can't be sure. I'm nowhere near needing to move apps to the card yet, and since I've uninstalled the eBay app I've no way of knowing if that's where it was. Or if it was causing the problem. But I do know that I won't be staying on ICS forever. If Samsung ever get round to giving us JB, I'll update to that. If they don't I'll look for a non-stock (and non-Touchwiz, thankfully) ROM. So thanks for telling me about the bug.
Same problem with SGS2 4.1.2, stock rooted rom. No external SD card.
I noticed one thing. When I do the following:
Settings->Application manager->All
it displays about 200M free and 1.7GB used, but after few seconds it changes to about 450M free and 1.5G used.
At the same time it (long pressing home button and select memory usage->storage) shows 1.77GB/1.97GB free memory of system storage. So only about 200M is free. The same result is obtained in Teminal Emulator by inputting DF command. So it is very strange that in Application manager the free system memory is increased from 200M to 450M but in terminal and memory manager system manager is constant 200M.
So what the algorithm to solve the problem of install or update apps from market?

So it is very strange that in Application manager the free system memory is increased from 200M to 450M but in terminal and memory manager system manager is constant 200M.
So what the algorithm to solve the problem of install or update apps from market?

Try clearing cache using some application like ES Task Manager, I had useless cache data of about 400Mb once and the biggest contributor was chrome at 100Mb.. And try using apps like SD Maid which will help you clean out clutter.

First, I apologize for the inevitable incorrect use of terminology - I'm trying my best.
After hours and hours of reading up, I finally attempted to internally install CM10.1 to my Nook Tablet 8GB v 1.4.3. I appreciate all the helpful posts on this forum, and primarily used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037368 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056626 to go through the steps. I hit a few snags along the way, but in the end I think I was successful.
Now I get an error message every time I boot: "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped." I click okay, then everything seems to work fine. I have tried some suggestions from here, including clearing caches and stopping google's automatic syncs, but nothing has fixed the problem. As far as I can tell, everything works okay otherwise.
Any ideas on how to fix this message? Could it mean that I did not successfully complete the installation process? (Are there ways to tell if the installation was not successful other than not having a brick?)
Android Version 4.2.2
CyanogenMod Version 10.1-20130421-NIGHTLY-acclaim
Happy to provide any more details that would be helpful. And many thanks in advance.

This happened to me after I dirty-flashed CM 10.1 over another CM 10-based rom. Let me see if I can remember what I did to make it go away... I think it has something to do with a file or process that Android uses to index/keep track of media files on internal and external sd cards, and deleting or wiping the cache or data on that particular process fixes things. I will do some checking around and post back here if I (re)find more specific info.
EDIT: Found it, I think... Do a force stop, clear data, and clear cache on the "Media Storage" app, then reboot and see if it goes away.
Sooo... did it work?

Sorry...long week.
Unfortunately, it didn't work. I had also seen suggestions on the forum of similarly stopping and clearing Google Account Manager, Google Services Framework, and a few others (can remember them all), but those didn't do it either.
I have now also had an error message about Themes not responding - can't remember the exact wording. It's happened 2 or 3 times, doesn't seem to have any other consequences other than requiring me to acknowledge the error.
Could I have strayed somewhere along the installation pathway and inadvertently made this a dirty install?

You need to load into recovery and do a factory reset/wipe data, clear cache, clear dalvik cache. If you dirty installed (installed over another ROM that's not in the same version) you'll have problems with the ROM. If you're using an older cm7 or cm9 I'll suggest you update to cm10+ succulent.

I tried to go back to the beginning to see what I did wrong - hoping to fix the problem but also trying to learn. I'll explain in a bit of detail...
Tried to follow the process outline here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037368. I was able to access root using NT16or8gbV47SDimagefile.img, but was unable to get any further as it kept saying "No files found" when trying to flash rom and gapps zipped files. After trying multiple reformats, partitions, etc, I abandoned following this process. (Of note, I did make sure that debugging and allowing installation from unknown sources were active - to no avail.)
I then followed this process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056626. In addition to Step 6 - "Wipe data and factory reset," I also cleared cache and dalvik cache as suggested. Everything else went very smoothly. I've now been running CM 10.1 for a few hours without any error messages. I'll report back anything that pops up over the next few days.
I tried to improvise a bit and flash CWM recovery internally as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640958. I was never succesful using flash_CM9-10_CWM_6.0.2.5_8-16gb_emmc.zip, though I'm not sure it's really necessary. (In trying to do this, I modified step 2.b from Digixmax's guide - rather than using the recovery image from CM9-10_CWM_v6.0.1.2_8-16gb_tools_sdcard.zip, I tried using the flashable emmc.zip noted prior. In the end, I just followed Digimax's steps without modifications.) What do you think? Is there any reason to continue trying to flash CWM internally?
Thanks a million to all.

As long as you have SDcard-based CWM available for recovery purpose (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31) you don't really need to flash CWM internally. But if you'd like to flash it internally you can grab a flashable CWM zip file from Succulent's repo http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery and install it using SD-cased CWM (just like you had installed the ROM/gapps zip files except there is no need for wiping cache/data & doing factory reset in this case).
Hi all! I am presently using Validus rom - 4.4.4 kitkat. Today, not sure if it an update that caused it, but I keep on getting "android.systemui has stopped" and it prevents me from working. As a result of this, I am thinking of trying out another rom. Any suggestions?

Plenty to choose from and you are obviously welcome to try any. You would be the first to run into that.
Did you flash clean?

I did wipe the cache through recovery mode & reflashed gapps but the problem persisted and was resolved by removing the google account from settings and signing again into google account.
As an excuse, I actually decided to try out another rom and wanted suggestions from the array of options

Many will not make those suggestions as it tends to pit one persons work against another. Also what works great on one device will or may not work the same on another. That is why you are encouraged to try many and depending on what kind of user you are, you may benefit from some more than others.
Hint: look into roms that have been around for a while. Post count will help you there. Start reading from the back of thread which will tell you the most recent issues folks may have been having. If you dont like the issue, or there is no solution, dont flash and move on.
Another hint on the cleanliness of a flash.
Factory wipe 3 time
Flash rom
Flash rom again as 2 different flashes can produce 2 different results.
Flash gapps
Wipe Davlik and Cache
Boot up and let sit 10 or so
Reboot and set up
That is as clean as you can get. System UI failure is common with dirty flash. Get all those file reminents out of there.
Have fun

I am back to having system UI failure. The problem came up after the automatic update of google play.
Now, the systemui failure has dissapeared after I re-flashed the Validus rom through the recovery mode. But the google play services are not working. The last time I was able to get all back to "normal" by also re-flashing gapss.
If I re-flash gapps, I guess I will have to remove the google account and re-sign in. But after another automatic update to google play services, I will be back to the system UI failure.
The options I see are:
1. Do a backup of my data and clean flash as suggested by Captemo. I think this is the best option.
2. Do option 1 but do not flash gapss. I read in a Security thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/security/security-android-security-conscious-mind-t2835412 about going with custom rom + nogapps. But then how do one use the google services - especially google play?
3. Do what I have done so far: no factory reset et al, reflash Validus, reflash gapps, remove google account and re-signin. And then prevent automatic update to google services; how can this be done - preventing automatic update to google play services?
Thanks
I have the same systemui loop problem
Don't bother with "clean" flash, it won't help with Validus rom. I did exact steps as suggested by Captemo. But when I'm updating Google+ to version Aug 12, I'm immediately getting com.android.systemui error loop. It's not completely fatal, could be fixed by wiping cache, dalvik, and data in recovery, and flashing previous version of Google apps. But in that case you will lose all other installed apps of course. In Google Play options you can disable automatic update of applications, and just ignore updates (for me it's only Google+, for example YouTube update is ok).
I like Validus rom, it's quite good, but not compatible with Google+ app somehow.
UPDATE: in Validus 6.1 this com.android.systemui error loop is FIXED! I have all Google applications up to date now.
