Insufficient storage issue - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I installed poweramp and then uninstalled it and now it says I have insufficient space. I can install other applications just fine. I've tried the fix for the similar titanium backup but it didn't work. I'm on tasks aokp 4.0.4

Check your data/apps folder to see if the apk is still in there even though you uninstalled.

I already tried that but I don't see anything.

i had the same problem with TiBu only. No other apps gave me that error. I ended up wiping and reflashing the rom. Its been fine since. I had no idea what caused it. I first tried to wipe data on the Play Store but that didnt fix it either.

quertyaas, you were right I found the problem. I was looking in the wrong data folder. I was using astro but found it with root explorer.

Nyydynasty, next instead of reflashing, just look in your data folder for a TiBu related odex file and delete it.

good to know. I didnt think of doing that - lol
I was having some intermittent BT issues anyway, so a reflash wasn't completely uncalled for

Ya, for some reason when you uninstalled it the APK still remained in the data/apps folder. The app wasn't installed but since it was still in the folder, it wouldn't let you reinstall it.
Good first step to check if this happens again. Check the data/apps folder with Root Explorer (I should have mentioned that in my initial response ).

[Q] Astro File Manager 2.5.2

I’m trying to delete a few unwanted apps as in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826491, but their permissions are read only. Does anyone know how to change a file’s permission with Astro?
Try using titanium backup.

Not exactly the answer I was look for to resolve the problem. However, I appreciate the response, but I don't want to download another app because I already have quite a few.
For astro you are looking for something called godmode. It appears to be a script add-on of some sort. I dont use astro though when dealing with permissions, I just use root manager. I have heard that es explorer does have an experimental feature for permission handling.
Edit; root explorer not manager ;/

Titanium backup is the answer. It will remove any app you want, even system apps.
I don't understand why you would not want to have TB, it is an essential app for all rooted phones to backup your apps. But if you don't want the app you can always uninstal it after you have finished using it...
Also it does not take up much space in the memory. You can use TB to move apps onto the SD card to free up more space internally as well

[Q]Downloads disappear after starting?

Anyone else had problems with downloading form the market? When I try to download something, it starts and disappears from the notification bar before it starts to show the percentage done.

Open titanium backup and see if there is any application related to market frozen? If you find frozen app, just defrost it. Also clear the market cache.

I had the problem for a long time. Got the new market and it would actually give me an error message, about insufficient storage.
Info in settings clearly said I had enough, but still constant fails.
Eventually installed link2sd, used it on some apps problem solved.

try this --> wipe data of Market using Titanium backup. You will need to login again in market.
Check if your Google talk is working or not. I came across the same problem and I was advised to log out of gtalk and log in again. That didn't help me. I just flashed the rom over the existing rom. You can also flash gapps if you are on custom rom

Best way is flash Gapps again. It will resolve this issue permanently.

New Market issue?

I'm having a lot of issues w/ the new Market app. It's not showing a lot of my paid for apps as well as others. Is there some sot of fix? Sorry if this is already a listed issue, I looked around and didn't find anything.
I agree, I myself have been. having issues with the new market even with market enabler turned on
I have been having trouble with it force closing. Wen back to the good old green market.
Market Enabler hasn't fixed anything. I tried several different apk's and none of them worked.

I've found that if you use the market site to download an app that you are missing, they'll show up.

If you're having problems installing and updating apps (getting the "Not enough space on this device" error) you will have to empty unused files out of your /cache directory. For some reason, the new Market uses /cache to download files to install apps instead of a folder in /data.
I'm simply having an issue with Market not showing a lot of my paid for apps.

Same here. It's been perfect for me.
Can't blame me tho just cuz I was the first one to upload the apk once I got the update lol.
But for real, it just works well for me. I'm sure you've done this but have you tried going to the applications settings and clearing data ? IDK, maybe may help. Otherwise, I'm no help. Sorry

New market app updating

I was updated to the new market yesterday and today saw that Titanium had an update. Clicking on it opens screen that only allows for the app to be opened or uninstalled. I don't see any option to update.
How do we update with the new market?
Thanks,
SF

I had the same problem when my market auto upgraded. I think what happens is that the market account gets screwed up and it doesn't allow you to update some things. Its fixable - you have to reregister your phone with the market. The bad news is the only way I could figure to do this was to clean wipe and start over. I suppose you could factory reset to. I bet there's an easier route - but I haven't found it.

Just found an easier way : I moved vending app from /data/app to sd, pushed it back, changed permissions and rebooted and everything is fine. Thanks for taking time to answer

In es explorer, long press on the file and select properties. They'll be a button there to change permissions

Sorry, I phrased that incorrectly. I know how to get in there & change the permissions. What I was wondering is how they need to be set. Is it RW-R--R--? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just don't have to do this very often & want to make sure I do it correctly.

This worked for me! Thanks guys for the clarification on setting permissions.
I thought I had this issue fixed, but it has resurfaced. I have the market telling me there is now an update for Handcent SMS, however it doesn't give me the option to update! I can only open or uninstall.
I tried the fix starflorida posted multiple times, but it just isn't doing the trick. Does anyone have an idea what's going on? Any suggestions or feedback?
There is a new version of the market rolling out today. Try clearing data and restarting market and see if that helps?

I was hoping to avoid that, just so i don't have to re-enter all of my info. But, if I can't get it straightened out, I'll give that a go.
I now have 2 apps sitting there waiting for an update that I can't complete: Handcent & Unlock with Wifi. If I click the app individually, I only get the choices of opening or uninstalling. However, if I click the button that says "Update 2", it looks like it will work! I don't get it.
Edit: I am currently getting the "Low on Space" message from my phone (I prefer not to put my apps on the SD card, if possible). Could this be the reason why I can't update my apps?
Clearing the market data seems to have worked as a temporary fix. It is no longer showing that I need to update any of my apps. However, I did not receive the latest market version. It is still the same version I had prior to clearing data, version 3.0.27
It will, when you least expect it! You can download an apk from Android central if you don't want to wait...

Contacts storage FC

My phone keeps giving me a contacts storage FC. Tried restoring my back up and clearing all data but no luck. Could somebody please pull there apk and post it here for me to try. Don't really want to flash the rom again if i don't have too.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Did you delete anything from the rom? From what I understand about the blur contact storage is that all of those little social apps need to be there regardless if you are actually using them or not. If you deleted anything then reflashing the rom is the easiest way. If you didn't delete anything then you might need to switch roms or keep trying factory resets

I had this happen to me when I had the ICS version of Google+ installed on my phone. I uninstalled it and went back to the market version and all is well.
as unlikely as it seems, it was the blur_yahoo.apk from system/app (and its .odex too, I think) for me...just put them back in system/app
its the google + ics apk had that happen to me too uninstalled it and viola!!

Yea not sure exactly what it was but I just reflashed jokers rom and just restrored data through advanced restore and so it makes for a painless fix.
