All,
I am really struggling to help my mate. I rooted his s2 and installed super nexus 4.2.2 on it a few weeks ago. Installation went fine and it works no problem but he kept getting insufficient storage space issues. I went into recovery mode and wiped the cache through there still no joy. I've searched for the wifi log file using root explorer no joy there. We have resorted to moving most of the apps to sd card and still getting issues. The thing that is frustrating me is that the storage available is nearly 16gb on the internal sd. Is there any way to edit the android system partition size as I think this would solve it?
Regards
Grant
have you tried a factory reset it may work
do you get this error while downloading apps from google play?
Yes, it started when the apps try to update. Already done a factory reset and doesn't help unfortunately. I think it could be that issue with Google play but I couldn't locate the file to delete it. Sorry I sound a bit vague but it's been a couple of weeks and my mate is totally useless when it comes to using Android other than the basic functions so it's a job trying to remember exactly what I viewed to attempt to solve it.
Cheers
Grant

1) try deleting Data/cache of 'Google play stores' and 'Google service framework' apps, then reboot ur phone and check.
2) if issue persists then remove ur 'Google a/c' then reboot ur phone and then re-login and see
Also it could be a .odex file casung the error message to appear.
To remove this, go to /data/app in file explorer and remove any .ODEX files of the apps you're trying to update/install
We have tried removing odex files and there aren't any on the phone. He tried clearing the cache and data and now gets the dreaded no connection error on play store any ideas?

Hi, I'm on Foxhound's Revolver Ocelot ROM and I keep getting these two messages whenever I try to download anything from the Play market;
Package file is invalid & Insufficient storage available
I cannot download a single app from the Play market.
Please someone help me to resolve this, preferably without a factory reset.

Update
I've wiped cache and dalvick in recovery, but still the issue remains.
I've also wiped cache and data in Google Play Market and Download Manager, but error is still there.
Help, someone.

Try to download apps using another network connection. Sometime it many be a temporary network issue. Also try these methods http://www.thespicygadgematics.com/2011/12/fix-android-package-file-is-invalid.html
try what MyLifeRocks10 said: "go into either the /system/app/ or /data/app/ directory and delete the odex file that has the same name as the respective .apk"
I'm trying to download Sports Car Challenge and am getting the same problems.
First it was insufficient storage space, so I rebooted, same problem. Then I unmounted sdcard, app cannot be installed in default location, so I remounted sdcard now I get package file invalid.
AAARRGGHHHH !
I've tried clearing cache of google play store but no difference.
I am running standard XWLPG firmware with CF-root.
Solved. Sort of.
I've spent two days prowling the web searching for solutions for the "package file invalid" error. My problem was that maps would not restore from a backup or install from the market. I did one of everything in an attempt to solve it, I'm pretty sure. Since it looks like the cache is simply jammed up, preventing the install of large Google apps, I used a Titanium Backup filter to list all my apps that reside on the phone rather than on the SD card. I uninstalled a few of the bigger ones (actually just three of the biggest) and then went to the market to install maps. Came through without a problem. Strangely, using Titanium again I was able to restore all those apps I'd uninstalled to make room for maps. I have no idea why that worked – it seems spatially impossible – but for now, at least, problem solved. What a total hair-puller the invalid package error is.
Hi.I have a problem..
I flashed v2.5 yesterday, and when I want download app from PlayStore, It always give me a message: "Package file is Invalid" and I cant install app from SDcard. I try to reflash the ROM. BUT its still
I need help ~ THX

+1 to this..
Recently did a factory reset, then rooted and unlocked.
Since then I'm getting errors downloading apps. This seems to occur only over the wireless connection, not over Wifi. I have verified that I can access the SD-card and external SD-card. have plenty of available storage space (per Settings/Storage): 2.58 GB app, 8.43 GB internal, 29.06GB SD card. Also have a good data connection per browser/weather app use!
These are the two errors I am seeing when trying to download apps from Google Play:
"App xyz" could not be downloaded due to an error. (923)
Error downloading "App xyz". There is insufficient space on the device.
Searched to find a fix, but couldn't find a good answer. Can anyone help me?
I would flash Th3bill's full wipe @ http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/th3bill/809-2/ then flash your rom.
if that doesn't work, you'll have to go back to stock sbf and see if that fixed it. if OK, root... if OK, unlock. an incremental way to isolate the issue.

Dont do a full wipe just yet... Just go to settings, manage apps, click on play store, click clear data, then reboot. This will probably fix it.

It wasn't enough to clear settings, I had to do the full wipe and installing MIUI 2.6.22 fixed it.
I appreciate your the help!!
I had error 923 on my sgs3 and clearing app data resolved it.

1. under settings/apps go to google store.
2. cache and data reset.
3. update deinstall, and akzept reset to google store basic version !
4. delete googlemail account under accounts&syncronisation.
5. go to google store app, insert googlemail account new.
google store meanwhile has updated to newest version and will keep runing fine again now ! :good:
This can sometimes happen after a fresh install and gapps tries to throw every update it has logged for you at the phone. just retry after installing what sticks. usually sorts it. many phones have this issue

This helped me after using CF- Autoroot by Chainfire, on my nexus 5. Thanks man!
Possible solution
I've ran into error 923 in Google Play.
None of the above worked, and I finally managed to fix it by deleting /data/core/zcore*.zip files (2.5GB in total).
By the looks of permissions on those files, some files could be deleted without root, but not all of them.
this video fixed the problem for me.. while it's "kind of a long video" for the 2 easy steps.. it's just the 2 steps.. 'clear cache' (not sure that helped, really?)
but the 2nd step did help.. I rolled back google play to a 'older'-orginal version.. and that fixed it
I have an international version of the GS3 (i9300) that I purchased in the U.S. I didn’t get an OTA update for the latest firmware so I manually flashed XXFLB via ODIN. After the flash, I noticed that everytime I restart the phone, it says “Android is upgrading”. Also, a few apps I installed before the flash stopped working so I uninstalled them (for example, Speedtest.net). The problem is, now I tried to reinstall them from google play, it always gives me an error message “Insufficient storage space available”. I also tried install the apk and also failed.
I’ve poked around to find solutions for this issue but almost all of them says move/uninstall apps to make space, but I have more than 5GB of space available and it only happens to apps that I have previously installed.
I hope I can find some answers here, thanks a lot!
I noticed "Android is upgrading" stuff in my XXLF5 firmware. I also will be interested for an answer.

No idea for the "android is upgrading" thing (never have this...)
For your apps, they must have left some files on your phone when you uninstalled them
If you are rooted:
-open root explorer (or similar app)
-check /data/app and /system/app for files from your uninstalled apps
-reboot in recovery
-wipe cache and dalvik cache
-restart your phone
-try to reinstall the app from google store
if you are not rooted:
-reboot in recovery
-factory reset
-restart
The steps for non rooted phone will make you loose all your apps and data
Heh, remove any *.odex files from /data/app. You'll probably realise that you'll need to run a certain program again afterwards...

You don't say if you are unlocked and have a recovery?
Doing a factory reset will not bring back deleted apps as it only wipes the cache etc.
Re installing should have brought them apps back but I don't know how you are tying to re install.. Can you give a little bit more information on what I have asked please.

You will not be able to just install it. You will have to copy it into system/app folder using a file manager that has root support like es file explorer or root explorer.
Here is the file from the new JB update.

Copy the one I posted above into the system/app folder and give it permission rw-r--r-- and then restart the tablet to let it create the cache file.. See if that works.

I'm really not sure what you deleted all together but try this.
GO to settings-apps and go to "all"
Scroll down to Google play services and google play store and force stop both and clear data and cache for both.

Any reason why you can't unlock the device and install a recovery so you can install custom roms? or are you trying to keep your warranty intact ?
I'm also not sure why you can't just do part 3 of the instructions you followed in the original post to put jellybean back on again. ( then again you have edited so many files this might not be advisable.)

As you said i am trying to keep warranty in place at the moment, i thought that following section three would work as well as i only accidentally changed the files from the system when i had installed but every time i have tried it doesnt reinstall the apks that were removed.
Hi All,
my issue is related to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44940570#post44940570 but i guess the thread is dead now.
The problem is when i access my gallery it closes and gives me a message that says, "Not enough space, please delete uneccessary items...bla bla."
the solution i used to fix this is to uninstall instagram and reboot my phone. but when i try reinstalling instagram again, the issue comes back.
anyone who has a better fix rather than uninstalling instagram?
BTW, im sure all my storage still has plenty of free space on them. so it is impossible that storage is really the problem.

Don't know about gallery problem, but if you have root you can go to /data/app folder and look for an .odex file (for instagram) and delete it. Reboot now and it should work to install instagram

Then go to CWM wipe data and reboot.
BACKUP BEFORE
Wipe data will deletre all apps, so you should back them up.
There's no need for that. Flash the script from this thread, it should solve your problem without wiping any app or data:

Quite weird. Maybe you should try a full wipe then.. Or flash the script another time, because that worked for me sometimes. Another (temporary) sollution is to download another gallery fron the Play Store.
an update, i wiped my phone and still the issue is there.
i cannot also take photos now, when i try to capture a photo it is not saving on either phone or sd card.
Same problem with me, my solution is open root explorer then go to sd card then change mount r/o to r/w. but it is just temporary solution
i dont know how to fix it rightly.
I had the same problem before.its because corrupted folders. .try read this..and followed the guide
