I am running boinix next gen v2 and whenever I try to install an app I get insufficient memory I know I have enough memory left. Any help would be great thanks

I had this problem with CM7 nightly all the time. Any app that was 10mbs or bigger would say I didn't have enough space, what I did was force stop market, clear cache and clear data. Then I'd restart the phone. It worked after usually, but there's been times that it didn't.
So what I did if it didn't work was go into rom manager, fix permissions after I cleared data and cache and restart.
It worked and if that didn't work, I flashed the CM7 Nightly version again and usually it worked after that.
The android.media.process is taking a large chunk of my battery. I haven't seen this process on any of the previous ICS passion roms. Can anybody tell me why this is constantly running?
Here's a couple screen shots. I would ask the dev but I'm a couple posts away from being able to do so. Hopefully he'll read this and explain why it would be different than the previous versions..
Try clearing data for all those services mentioned.
It's weird, I've seen this problem a lot in the thread, but I don't have it.
What are you syncing, by the way? Which do you have enabled?
Only thing synced is my gmail. I make sure to go through all of the settings and uncheck anything that would run in the background. I'll update after I clear out my cache.
Alright, hm.. could be a faulty app, too.
Let me know how it goes.
Cleared cache from recovery, set permissions.. etc. Its still running. It must be something different with this rom... I may just return to 6.5. I had no problems with it and I have gotten used to no GPS.

I'm having this issue with V7 too. I read online that it could be a corrupt media file causing it. Apparently, you need to move your media off you SD card to see if it helps.
Haven't tried it yet
You can figure out what media it is scanning and then in that file open it up and put a .nomedia file in it and when your media scanner is engaged, it will skip over that particular file.
Be careful with .nomedia files b/c if you put them in say DCIM or you album art, take a wild guess what you'll see in your media player or your gallery.
.nomedias work as long as your make sure you know where they go. Wouldn't make sense to put on right in the root of your SD now would it? But find the file it keeps scanning and put one in there.
In my experience just let media process run until it eventually stops 10-15 min.. then reboot. Should stop excessive CPU usage after a couple reboots and data built.
I also .nomedia titanium backup and CWM.
Otherwise you may have a corrupt file causing this. I thought so at 1st but maybe its something with this ROM. I formatted my SDcard and media process still loose at boot. So just give time for it to settle and it usually goes away.

i'm having sporadic notification with this message "unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped".
This on a fresh install of alpha0, wiped data/factory reset, cache, dalvik. all patches/fix, gapps, gapps fix provided by cm dev are applied. This never happened on alpha 3.5.
is anyone having the same issue? whats the fix, if any?

let me guess that you have lots files either your download folder and or music/video, clear out your downloads along clearing media storage
I haven't been having it actually close but I have been having the Watchdog app report that process is using high cpu. I read an another site that going to Apps > All Apps > Media Storage and then clear any app cache or data.
It seems to have helped me so it's worth a shot to try that before doing anything more drastic.
Sup guys. Yea I had only 2gig of space left on the sdcard. I have about 1500 songs and gameloft data on it. I have no idea how much space data for webos took.
I uninstalled android, went to webos and formatted the sdcard. Reinstalled android. I have not copied my mp3 collection and games data back yet. But so far no more problems and a lot less ICS reboots. I'll copy over the games data files and music soon. I'll find out if it starts to go nuts again.
I am having the same issuer on CM9 A0.5. However, in my app manager I am having problems clearing data and cache...
It's annoying, but not a dealbreaker.
i keep getting this error as well. i've cleared the cache and i still get it, but a lot less frequently.
additionally, i'm only using 17gb (seems high, but w/e).
This might not apply to you, but I started having that same issue when I changed the dpi on the lcd from 160 to 132. When I changed it back to 160 I stopped having the media process force close on me.

interesting. i changed it to 145 (? i'll have to look when i get home to confirm).
i will say that my gf's TP is also set the same and she doesn't have those errors. however, she probably is using a lot less storage than i am.
I'm not quite sure its a storage issue. Everything was fine the past 48hrs. I didn't install anything and kept my sdcard usage under 10gig. I have a 32gig tp. And today it just started giving me the message again.
I want to test something. I'm using nova as my default home launcher. I have it packed with Widgets. I loaded the default cm9 home launcher with no Widgets. It hasent giving me that message since then. And my reboot/crash has decreased dramatically. If anyone cares to try it, maybe we might get to the bottom of this problem.
edit: damnit. spoke to soon. i change to animated wallpaper and it rebooted.

I'm keep getting same error after clear the storage.
I had this problem with .5. In settings, apps, I cleared data and force stopped download manager and media storage. That was two days ago, all good since.
remember that android now indexes the download folder apart from music video and amoung other folders, either you have a file android is parsing incorrectly or the indexing system hits a limit of how many files it can index...

Oh my god, you're so RIGHT !
That's it !
Got to clean data on media storage and downloads (with Titanium backup, it didn't wiped my downloads with the integrated android apps manager)
Thanks
I have the same problem. I'm running the latest nightly release of CM11.
It happens to me mostly when i use the camera or whatsapp.
I've barely got 10 mp3's in my media folder and the download folder is empty.
I force stopped download manager and media but it didn't help.
Has anyone experienced apps that become uninstalled because you restarted the phone? It has happened twice and both times the phone had been running for several days. If I restart it right away to try and duplicate it, it does not seem to happen. Doesn't seem to be related to apps that get installed into phone memory versus internal. Last time it happened there were about 20-30 apps that were uninstalled. They still have shortcuts on the desktop but would just pop up this app is not installed when I would go to use it. Very annoying to have to re-install that many apps! Thanks for any help!
I haven't noticed that but did notice some apps i freeze in titanium seem to unfreeze on reboot. Maybe the issues are related to the stock ROM somehow.
Random Uninstalled apps would be a lot more annoying though.
Thanks for the reply! It is very annoying. Would fast boot have anything to do with it?
I've also noticed a few apps uninstalling themselves.

Did it happen right after a restart?
Well, I think it is fixed but not sure which change fixed it. I uninstalled appBrain, app2SD and turned off fast boot. None of these were issues with the OG EVO. I wonder if app2SD was causing issues now that there is phone storage and external SD?
Well, it did it again. This is getting old fast. No one else has this issue? Guess it's time for a factory reset.
I've had this issue with the 3D and hope not to have it with this phone. Another restart usually fixed it.

I had that issue all the time with my Samsung Galaxy E4GT. I haven't seen that going on with my Evo 4G LTE.. Hope I don't start having it..
OK, so it will definitely fix itself if I reboot again. It's almost like if you try to use something too soon after a reboot it gets hosed. I have no idea what that is, but if I try to use the phone too soon after reboot it seems to have the issue. And the issue stays even if I wait a long time so it's not that it hasn't had enough time to read everything. Very annoying! Original EVO did not have this issue for me.
Well, this time restarting did not fix it. I restarted many times and shutdown. All the apps this is happening to are now shown as com.appname.xxxxx So com.pandora.android or com.google.earth as examples. So the system still has them in the apps downloaded under settings but if you run them it says they are not installed. Will try hard reset and if that doesn't work, back to the Sprint store it will go.
Did you try turning off fast boot? The speed of the fast boot, even during reboot, makes me think that its not a full cold reboot. The way that fast boot works is that it puts the phone in to a low power sleep mode, which some apps have problems with.
Are you sure the app is completely gone? What happens if you go in to the app management menu when the app appears to be missing from the app drawer? I have a problem like this occasionally where stuff disappears from the app drawer for ADW EX, and a restart of the launcher did the trick, which is why a reboot helps for sense, because that does force the launcher to rescan for apps present to repopulate the app drawer.

Are that apps that are disappearing happened to be moved to Phone Storage instead of Internal Storage?
You have to have the card GET formatted by the phone & move the apps using the built-in method .vs Apps2SD.
I think it's more of an ICS thing, I had the same thing happen to music & photos until I did the above.

Yes, fast boot is off. App still appears in the apps under settings as downloaded buy now either has a com. in front or an org. and then the app name etc... I can uninstall it at that point. The shortcut on the desktop just doesn't work and it is missing from the app area of the phone.

Yes, I believe all the apps this is happening with are in phone storage but it does not happen to all apps in phone storage. Many of them are fine.

I did try using only the built-in method the last two times and thought it had fixed the issue. Obviously it did not. I will try formatting the card with the phone before I do the hard reset. The apps are not stored on the card right? Only in internal or phone storage? Or can apps install themselves to the external? I don't see a way to move them. I am not having any issues with photos, music, etc.. on the external.
Can I just copy everything off the card, format it, and then copy it back on? Or should I only copy music, photos, etc.. and not system folders?
Thanks to all you guys for all the help!

OK, now I have erased all data on the card using the phone itself but I do not see anything to format it. Is erasing and preparing all I need to do?
Hi! Could anyone suggest what should I do if my older photos disappeard from my gallery? I made a Fix permissions and an FXP133 reinstall (without any wipe, because I was an idiot and I wanted to replace the Contacts app but I failed and I couldn't restore the original Contacts app so I thought maybe if I reinstall only the ROM, it will working again). Before and after the reinstall I made a permissions fix in ROM manager. Now the Contacts app working, but I found that all of my older photos disappeard from the Gallery. It shows only those photos which have been made since the reinstall/perm. fix and my Picasa web albums. I checked in the file manager and all the photos are still there, but I can't make the gallery to show those photos... Should I reinstall the whole ROM again with wipe or there is an easier solution with less work? Thanks

I sometimes get something similar on my stock ICS where the camera, gallery or any other similar apps show the photos, videos or music that's on my sdcard.
I'm not sure what causes it, but I think it's an issue with the sdcard indexing. It's generally fixed by either deleting a picture (make a copy of one and delete it) or by adding a new one. That normally forces the phone to reindex the sdcard and everything turns up again. Sometimes I need to reboot first, but the issue doesn't last for too long anyway since I'm always taking pictures or downloading stuff.
It's a good excuse to make sure your sdcard is backed up though.
Thanks, but that way is not working for me, because since this problem cam up, I already made at least 15 photos, deleted some and not just the rest did not come back, but the new ones also getting disappear constantly... :S and meanwhile I already re-flashed the kernel and re-installed the whole fresh ROM (CM9 FXP133) with full wipe (fact. reset, cache p., dalvik) and the gallery still doesn't show the older/newer photos... So yes, now I think that the problem will be somewhere in my SD card too... I think I will backup my stuff and make a full format, that's my last hope... :/

Okay, it worked. I formatted my miniSD card and restored the most important stuff. Now the gallery shows the photos again. Hurray

That's good to know. Must have been a bad memory card. A lesson to us all..back up your phone!
Yes, sadly something definitely wrong with my SD card... And this is not the 1st case. Earlier, after a simple data transport from notebook to SD card (which I have already done a million times), my phone (and later also my notebook) couldn't recognize the card anymore... I had to format the card from windows' disk manager manually to make it work again. I hoped that it was just an accident, but after this problem which also caused by the card, I think I have to buy a new card shortly... (After 11 months using...)
