im trying to install an apk file but it keeps coming up "could not be installed , free up some space and try again"
i have iused 16GB of internal but still have 9.6 gb of internal memory free and about 30GB of extsd
how can i fix this ? i have had this apk installed a few days ago but got rid of it .
I would say part of the file is still on your phone as you had it installed recently, you need to make sure all of it is deleted it think you do this through astro, someone with better understanding will be able to tell you if astro can't do it.

Use a root explorer. Go Data\App
Delete anything related to the particular app you are trying to install.

I got the Insufficient Storage Available error when I install new apps from Google Play, I can't even install apk, so I think this is not Google Play problem. I have plenty of space life. Running the latest AOKP. Anyone having this problem?
I'm guessing this didn't work?
Try this.
It also happens when you have the app still in the data/apps folder yet it's already uninstalled. Go to your data/apps folder with Root Explorer and check if the .apk is still there. If it is, delete it.

Thanks for your advice, I used mini tool partition from my computer, but when I checked in my phone's storage, still wasn't shown the ext4 partition that i did with minitool, so just tried with cwm partition (1GB Ext and 0MP swap) and it worked! But before I try this one I downloaded link2sd from play store! That's it! Now my internal memory is 0.94GB, wow...before it was only 120MP!

The app didn't work. It runs ok, but has no effect in solving this issue... at least on my case: Galaxy S2 running Cyanogen 9 final release. I also had this issue from time to time with the RC1 of CM9, but it always disappeared without me doing nothing (the problem only happened back then when updating apps from Google Play).

This tip solved the problem. Thanks very much.
Meanwhile, just my 50 cents, I think this problem is related with the Lucky Patcher... Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe not..,
I cant get it to install, i cant download and install anything else but this. I had it on my phone and it disappeared during a auto software update for TB?
I had this same prob. Check your system/app or system/data folder to see if its still in there. Remove then reinstall

If you already installed this and if you use something like Luckypatcher it can happen.
Try uninstall and reinstall and if the same wipe your dalvik cache (and remove patch in Lucky if you use it)
I had same issue open lucky patcher and it will clean odex data on its own then u can install......

My guess is that you have old *.ODEX files related to the application that prevents you from reinstalling it. Are you rooted? If so, you can use any compatible file manager to remove the associated *.ODEX file (it probably has the same name as the application package) in /data/app folder (supposing it's an user application).

Dear or dear, I would delete that word, lucky patcher if I was you, before the mods, get wind of this thread.

"Lucky Patcher could not be installed. Free up some space and try again"
Can anyone help me out here.. I tried uninstalling Lucky Patcher as I could not update it (the same error) and it gave me this error.
I am unable to find the odex involved so I can reinstall it.
Anyone have any ideas?

Lucky Patcher is not supported here, because it's a warez/hack application (Read XDA policy).
If you coudn't remove it, do a wipe (date/cache) on your phone and NEVER reinstall this apps. If you want non-free apps, buy it to help development.
Help me bro... I can't install app anymore.. Every i want install any app, threre will notice "app can't be installed. Free up some space and try again"
What should i do?
Thx before for your help..
Are you rooted? If so use your recovery to clear your cache.

it doesn't work..
i have tried it many times, also dalvik chace..
If your device is rooted, try to install and launch Lucky Patcher. It will probarly give a notification at start-up which says 'Unused odex removed!'
If that doesn't work, remove /data/app/fileName.odex using root explorer.
Hey,
You can go to /data/app in file manager with root privileges and there you can remove the app you want to install's .odex file.
Eg. If you want to install Swiftkey.
Go to --> /data/app
When you are there remove, swiftkey.odex file.
It should work
(This is basically what DroidHackz said)

It's basically a small error in which the odex file remains even though the core apk of an app is removed, an odex file is generated by an application package to improve its execution time(basically the app becomes faster).

Hey, how's everyone?
I have a backup file made with Titanium Backup for GMD GestureControls, but for some reason I'm unable to restore it to the phone! It just hangs with the box saying "restoring" and at 0%. If I try to install it from the APK it just says "App is not installed".
Really frustrating because I've been able to install/restore things flawlessly before and now, what gives with this junk?
I've used ADB to push the apk to /system/app but that didn't work either!

Well I'm familiar with Lucky Patcher but how exactly do I initiate the removal of the unused odex?
Edit: Well I tried to use Lucky Patcher to install the APK file that I had, and it said "must first uninstall the application before installing this apk-file as the signature applications are different because of the recompiling. Delete the app?" I clicked okay and it said "restore failed."
So I think there is something from the old app still there but I don't know how to remove it

Just install SystemCleanup from Playstore an CleanUp the system. It will erase unused ODEX files.

Guys, I need you to be very careful when discussing Lucky Patcher, it is almost always used as warez. I will let the discussion of it as a tool to remove unused odex files stay, since this a legitimate, non-warez producing use for it. But please, please, please, don't stray into a discussion of its other uses.
Thanks!
