"Error downloading app from market. There is insufficient space on the device."
That's the error that I get when I try to download big apps, like Third Blade, etc. I notice that this happens with apps that are bigger that 30mb.
I just want someone to confirm that the game can be downloaded in a Samsung Vibrant.
I really have a lot of space in my device so this is not the problem.
I'm on trigger right now.

i have that same problem!! but only with that game and i have alot of room too
i wanna play third blade toooo
im on cm7
I had that problem on BOTH of those ROMS.
Mostly CM7.
Everyone suggested to just ODIN, it didn't work for me, so i just changed rom and it was good again?
Before doing anything, i think you should backup everything on your SD CARD, then try and format sd, and then try download.
i may be wrong.
/cache is full. Go in with root explorer or similar, and clear out some stuff. You might even need to go into /cache/dalvik and delete a few installed apps (don't fret, they should rebuild after a reboot) for it to initially fit. That's where Android places the zip before installing a new app, or an update. I go in there all the time and clear any updates or apps I just installed, and I rarely have issues with not being able to d/l larger apps. I'm on latest Trigger CM.

Disable voodoo, it works for me every time
i just made something like
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/cache
mount -t bind /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/cache /cache
and i have no problems regarding /cache space now

What exactly would that command do if I put it into an Android command prompt emulator

This would need some modification to work for CM based ROMs, but looks like its creating a cache folder on and forcing system cache to the external sd? I wonder if this would work for CM? Anyone?

This happened to me awhile back, it really sucked.
After trying everything, eventually it cleared up when I cleared dvk cache (or whatever its called) in advanced settings of clockwork

I currently don't have anything inside the /cache and I still get the problem.

Seems a little big risky but I can try it later.

Thanks.

I have tried everything in this thread and all of the others I found by searching the forums.
Allow a noob to ask a question, please... What do you do with this zip?
found in /cache via root explorer a leftover 16mb apk.. deleted & market installs working again.. THANKS!
I get an Insufficient Space error every time I try to install some larger apps (latest examples: Paradise Island and Duke Nukem 3D).
I have tried every suggested fix I can find online. I have cleared the market cache, uninstalled market updates, cleared dalvik cache, cleared regular cache, checked partition usage of /data, nothing has changed this behavior.
As a final step I ODIN'd back to stock and reinstalled Bionix Nextgen V2. Made sure to do the 20 minute wait n' reboot. Tried installing the same apps via the Market once the ROM was installed and the old market doesn't even give me the error, it shows the download arrow in the notification bar for a couple seconds and then it just disappears.
I'm at my wits end on this one. Seems my choice is to either run CM7 and have non-functioning GPS or Bionix and have a semi-functioning market.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I wiped my cache partition and dalvik from recovery. Rebooted and I could now install Wind-Up Knight. It's all I had to do. CM7.
Update: For whatever reason my /cache on Bionix Nextgen V2 is set to 24.7 Mb after a fresh installation. No wonder it wouldn't install 27+ Mb apps.
I finally fixed this issue myself with a symlink:
Ran inside Terminal Emulator (you will need to run the commmand su after opening terminal emulator to get root rights):
umount /cache
rmdir /cache
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/cache
ln -s /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/cache cache
As soon as I exited Terminal Emulator I was able to install large apps.
Update again: And now it's broken again. Cache is remounted to the old settings and the umount command now just gives me a "Failed" without any other useful error information.
HELP!!! How do I permanently fix this?
Update again v2: Rebooted into recovery, wiped cache and Dalvik, got an error indicating my sd card isn't partitioned correctly "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2" when wiping Dalvik, but from what I'm finding online that's not a huge deal. Rebooted, ran my commands above again and cache is symlinked again, large apps install ok again.
How do I make this permanent?
Same problem, disabling Voodoo worked for me
solution worked for me like charm....
After browsing around, I found out solution:
The problem is in the cache folder (that I assume used by the market) is using small partition (around 20mb in my case).
So to solve this we need to change it to bigger partition.
1. You gonna need Android Terminal Simulator or equivalent terminal app. This will also require your Android rooted.
2. Type ’su’ (root permission request will be showned, you need to approve it).
3. Type ‘cd /’
4. Type ‘umount /cache’
5. Type ‘mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs rootfs /’ (to set the folder access to rw – read write)
6. Type ‘rmdir /cache’ (delete cache folder)
7. I personally using root explorer to do point 5-6
8. Type ‘mkdir /sdcard/cache’
9. Type ‘ln -s /sdcard/cache /cache’ (to link cache folder to /sdcard/cache – which shoud have bigger partition size)
Works like a charm!!!
Thanks to jimmy!

Good Morning All...
I'll try to provide as much relevant information as possible while being concise. That being said, let me know if I need to provide addition information.
Basics
Computer OS: Mac + Windows 7 VM and a Windows 7 dedicated machine.
Phone: HTC EVO 4G LTE
Carrier: Sprint
Current ROM: CM10-20120904-NIGHTLY-jewel
Goal
To restore "normal" flashing functionality (detailed below) so I can restore to stock.
Details
My first issue with this phone started on the 4.0.x version of Android that came with the phone. The phone would frequently reboot, at which point it would indicate an error report could be sent to HTC. I sent these faithfully for several weeks. Then an update for the phone was released and I updated OTA. This did not solve the rebooting issue.
At that point, I grew frustrated and decided I would root the phone and install CM10 in the hopes the rebooting issue would be resolved. I rooted the phone with S-ON using the method outlined on HTVEVOHacks.
I was able to push TWRP to the phone and then proceeded to download and install CM10 via Clockwork. After installing Clockwork, I installed Clockwork recovery (I had worked with it previously on my EVO 4G, and wasn't familiar with TWRP) and tried to install CM10. This failed and I pushed TWRP once more and booted into the phone.
I then installed GooManager, at which point I downloaded and successfully installed CM10. This is essentially where I'm at now.
Issues
I've had several issues with CM10, including the phone rebooting (still), and have decided I would like to restore to stock. The issues outlined below comprise all of the trouble I've experienced and is currently impeding my progress:
If I flash a ROM other than the CM10 backup I have, or MIUI, it sits in boot spinning indefinitely (>25-minutes). I've cleared the fastboot cache, as well as the dalvik/cache in an attempt to boot it properly. I've tried MeanROM and a few other Sense-based ROMS (inc. stock-rooted ROMs).
If I try to run the RUU (I've tried several versions), it gets to the point where the HTC logo appears in silver, and then the RUU tells me I have the wrong version.
MIUI proved to be a very poor choice, as I was inundated with error after error (com.phone.android).
If I restore the stock recovery, and perform an oemlock, the bootloader shows 'Tampered - Relocked - Security Warning'.
When in TWRP, any time I try to wipe cache/factory reset, it gives an error: "E:failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument)". This appears numerous times throughout the TWRP log (which I can copy to SD, but I can't mount to USB).
At this point, I'd like to be able to take it back to Sprint as I believe the rebooting to be an issue with the phone, but I need to be able to restore back to stock, if possible.
I know this is a long post, but being an engineer, I like to make sure I do as much footwork as possible prior to asking for help. If there are any steps I haven't taken that I should have, please tell me and I'll be happy to do it.
Any help that can be provided is welcome.

Sounds like you need to fast boot flash a sense kernel before flashing a sense ROM.
I'll admit I didn't read all your post but you should check out the thread named " don't panic"
All your answers should be there

I had taken a look at that yesterday and didn't see a guide that matched my issues specifically, but having looked at it again today, I see some relevant info. My question: Where do I get a Sense-based kernel to flash? Is there a specific one I should flash?

Having reviewed the "Don't Panic" guide by om4, I attempted to solve the sdcard mount issue by reformatting in TWRP. I get the following error:
Code:
* Verifying filesystems...
* Verifying partition sizes...

E:failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument)

Thanks for the reply, om4!
I was able to mount the Internal Storage to my PC and format. Once this was done, I found it could be mounted in TWRP, however, using the 'Wipe' function in TWRP to wipe 'Internal Storage' still fails. I am unsure if this functionality is normal, but I can access the Internal Storage when mounted via Windows now.
I am reformatting System, Cache, Dalvik, and reinstalling CM10 once more to test functionality...
I own an i9500 (Galaxy S IV). Recently, it dropped. I was lucky enough to install RomSwitcher (a multi-boot app) on it before, so I could still access an Android version.
However, in order to fix the problem, I decided to format the whole device. That didn't work out, and now I'm always stuck on bootloader screen( if it boots at all) and data partitions give I/O errors in recovery.
Now I would be glad if I could install another ROM on my sdcard, probably that'll have to go via RomSwitcher(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417600). I would be glad if someone could send me the kernel and recovery images.
Kind Regards,
Richard Fennigan
p.s. Logcats give the issue of Constantly being in wakelock because of the GPS.

I am having a problem that I am hoping someone can help me figure out. It is almost a problem I have found several people have, but my situation does not match any of the solutions that work for others with similar issues. Here it is:
I have two tablets, both are Nextbook Ares 8 tablets but one has android 5.0 and the other has 5.1 on it. I wanted to put android 5.1 on both, so I looked it up and found vampirefo's guide to rooting and putting twrp on the 5.0 tablets and figured I would start there to get to where I could put 5.1 on it. Problem is, I put TWRP on both tablets and neither one can mount the data partition so I can't get anywhere with it. I screwed up the 5.0 with a borked 5.1 but I cannot restore it because I can't put my backup on it where twrp can see it.
I, of course, looked up the issue of not being able to load /data and found several solutions. The only thing that sort of works is to format data through twrp on the data partition. This makes it so that while in twrp I can mount the partition, but since I cannot access it to put things on it while the tablet is in TWRP I cannot put the backup on the partition while the tablet can mount the partition. If I reboot the tablet in order to put data on it(or even reboot the tablet straight from TWRP after a reformat and mount to TWRP again) I am no longer able to mount the partition until I again format it(which wipes out any data I have put on it). This is not related to having data on the partition, it is not related to having booted to another mode or connected to any device, and this is not related to anything I have done because the only thing I did after getting the tablets was boot them all up and check the OS version and that the tablets were both the same model number and then I rebooted to bootloader and flashed TWRP on and booted to that. The 5.1 tab has the same issue with not mounting /data, but I am most concerned with it on the 5.0 tablet.
Both tablets are model NXA8QC116
One came with 5.1 on it stock, the other 5.0
TWRP I flashed to both was 2.8.6.0 from vampirefo's post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/and...overy-t3133165
The tablets both see the data partition when booted normally, but not when in TWRP. That's all the information I know to provide, if anyone can help me figure this out I would appreciate being able to learn why and how this is an issue for me specifically in addition to just solving the problem. After all, I cannot find anyone else having this issue with Ares 8 tablets...they all seem to have no issue with this TWRP being put on this tablet.
Hi All,
I have LineageOS running on a GS5 (G900I) and while it runs beautifully, every 1-2 weeks I have a hang that I cannot recover from - Even after reboot the phone hangs immediately - I can swipe across screens in Trebuchet but no widgets will run and the phone will hang if I try to open any app.
The *only* way I have been able to recover is to perform a restore of my /data partition from a TWRP backup. I've tried wiping cache, dalvik-cache and restoring the /system partition, but this does not help. I've upgraded LineageOS a couple of times to the latest. Now I seem to have to make a backup of /data every day or two, as I never know when this problem will strike again.
My /data partition is encrypted. Filesystem is ext4.
So I have really 2 questions:
1. Can anyone suggest the cause? I can't find any mention of this as a common issue.
2. How can I troubleshoot this? I can use "adb" when booted into TWRP recovery but it seems I cannot use this when the phone is booted without enabling USB Debugging in settings first - but when the hang has happened I cannot launch Settings to enable USB Debugging, so there appears to be no way to see any logs.
Any help would be appreciated...!
