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.
See this post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11055157&postcount=4650
If you like it, go find s0be and thank him

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.
I have been using cm7 for 3 months now. so, i guess the honeymoon period is over as all the faults which i have been living with are very irritating now..
1. If the sd card is inserted when switching on the phone, it reboots automatically 1-2 minutes after it is on.
2. ADW launcher force close *every* time the phone switches on. This is followed by a reboot or ( if i am lucky enough ) , normal functioning
3. Searching for networks doesnt work 90% of the time..
4. Sometimes in the middle of running an app or playing a game, the phone gets stuck and i have to remove the battery to reboot.
I dont know the reasons for any of this, please help!!
Galaxy i5500
cm 7.1
gingerbread 2.3.7

Thanks in advance..
what releaseare you running? latest is v2.3. Try doing a complete wipe (data/cache/dalvik/battery), make a backup first.
can you please tell me where to check for the release and where v2.3 is? and will i lose my apps when updating?
you could check on madteam forum, and download latest release 2.3
Try it without wiping your data, only /cache and dalvik cache. If there are some bugs, backup your apps (i.e. using titanium backup), and do a complete wipe.
All infos on download and install are on that topic..
is it working without any problems for you?
Yeah, it works like a charm
thanks a lot for your help.. one last question, i cant access wi-fi from my phone..so can you please tell the where the download link is? and the process for updating..?
You should download from your PC the zip file. You could find it on gooinsideme.com, browser to psyke folder and search for the last release. Then follow the instructions on that post.

Your problem should be solved by now, but just so you know, 768MHz is officially unstable.
I use 729MHz and its FAST without reboot/force close problems. This will most probably solve your reboot issue (I know this because it happened with me) .
oh, and this is the link you will be needing for your current/future downloads - http://goo.im/devs/psyke83/roms/galaxy5 - bookmark it.

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I precise that I have done as many and accurates research for my problem, without answers (on both XDA Forum and Google). So this is my problem:
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII AT&T(obviously) and since a while, I am unable to download any applications from the market properly. This is how it happens:
-When I accept the terms and launch the download, it keeps on "Downloading" without starting properly and is cancelled after several minutes.
-When I accept the terms and launch the download, it keeps on "Downloading" during several minutes before starting.
-And some VERY RARE times the download starts automaticly just after hitting "Accept..."
I also noticed that when I try to download applications from the play store via the mobile network, all works fine but whenever I go back on the WiFi network, I face the same issue. I have also tried to flash different ROMS(JellyBean). My phone is also rooted.
Thank you for your consideration and help if possible.
Did you try to clear data from Google Play and Google Play Services?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Yes I did. And it seems that it's a problem with all Google's services:
-I can't watch any videos from on YouTube, same problem of infinite loading without starting.
It's not a problem of slow connection as I download ROMs and other stuf without major or significative network speed problem.
By the way, thank you for your care.
Wipe everything and do a fresh install.
This what I do each time by reflashing the same ROM or flashing others one.
-Wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-format system(when asked)
-wipe dalvik cache
-Flash the rom (and latest gapps when necessary)
-Reboot system... set up my phone and restore user apps via Titanium Backup.
Also of course if you change your DPI to a non stock value or use inverted apps packages that can cause the issue. But in assuming you know that already so if that's not the issue i dunno what it could be.
No inverted apps neither non stock dpi since it happens even from MIUI roms to Shostock3 pasing by AOKP and CM ROMs. I'll try with a different WiFi later as I think it's a problem with my WiFi but it was working fine before those 4 weeks.
Edit: Problem solved! Looks like it was an issue from nowhere.. Anyway, Thank you all for your help, it's good to get one's updates back
I use Honamify ROM and Link2SD perfectly work.

bro ART is only experimental. its not usable for normal usgae.
install a clean LX bulid (honamify rom has to many additions) then u can use art for some time
AFTER INSTALLING MORE THAN 3-5 userapps or using app2sd other mods FORGET ABOUT ART!!!!
First you need to enable development option. Go to setting, about phone, tap 7 times on build number (when tapping several times, there will be message notice you need to tap .... time to enable development)
Then you can choose ART instead Davilk in RUntime (in development)
Notice that you have to do that soon when you install your ROM to be sure not confict with much application you setup later.
And when changing to ART require a very long time for first reboot.

I've tried that already...
I'm using Honimify v2 like you too.
First, do you see Development option. If not try to enable it.
Then try to enable ART in runtime select.
The only problem with ART is it need alot of space. Especially with Facebook
Thanks guys. I enabled ART successfully!!
I just reflash the ROM and enable ART with no other activity.:laugh:
System UI is really smooth!!
to run ART well, you should using mounts2SD to transfer cache and other system apps from internal memory to your SD card.
After using it, no longer worry about low memory to install apps.
First backup your data from SD to your computer (should copy in MSC mode)
Then partition your SD card to 2 part. 1 in FAT 32; 1 in EXT4 (about 2GB is enough). If you don't have a card reader (most laptop help) you can using Aparted (an apps to partition your SD card directly form your phone, searching it on google play). You can also create a SWAP partition (to swap RAM) if your SD card is fast enough.
Second you can using mounts2SD to setup other things. The first reboot will take long time. But later is OK.
You can do all these thing when your phone memory become full due to many apps install . With ART turn on, about 5 apps install will take almost your phone memory.
My phone using honimify v2 (base on Mike rom CM11.0).
does art really makes different in gaming? i installed art last week and titanium backup force close so as other apps.. most of the time it force close..
