Hi every1,
Yesterday I had to reformat my sdcard and do a wipe on my phone. I'm now in the process of reinstalling apps and such back in. My phone is rooted and set to run apps of sdcard. I'm trying to reinstall a paid game TangramPro.
1st try downloaded but then gave me an error saying not enough space to install. Strange because there is absolutely nothing on my phone.
2nd try it downloads an updated version and now gives me a different error saying that it couldn't delete old application.
Any ideas on how to clear this up?
I tried looking in /system/sd/data/app and app-private but I do not see this app in there. Looked in /data/app and app-private and nothing either.
*edit - restarted the phone and tried again: installation error insufficient storage available

Since about two days ago I'm not able to install any application. Whenever I run the install I get the following message: Installation of [ApplicationName] was unsuccessful.
I've switched the phone off and on and cleared more storage space but I'm still getting them same message.
This happens with every application I try to install, even ones that I've installed successfully previously.
Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?
If you go to the setting - system - remove program, did you see anything listed there. If nothing there, your system db could be corrupt. You will need to restore at least the system db backup portion using your sprite backup. In my case, the active sync corrupt my database when I connect my ppc to my deskyop. I have to uninstall and reinstall active sync.
You're right I'm not seeing anything listed there.
How do I restore the system db backup? Is this something that comes standard with the phone?
I am having exactly the same problem.
I have tried 3 roms (Shaks, Nataly, AZTOR) but almost every cab I try to install either says "Installation was unsuccessful" or first it says "AppX" cannot be installed. To try installing to a different location, choose a location:
I have done hard resets, hard with clear nand (lost all my pictures!), format internal storage, dl'ed new cabs from 3 different browsers on two different connections. copied to the device with "Disk Drive" mode and Activesync.
I do hope someone can help!
Update: I can install the same failed apps if I use the CABviaActivesync util. I think my internal storage may be f***ed.
Update2: I can install the same cabs from / but not from internal storage.
Update3: I tried copying a cab to the internal storage and then move it to / and again it did not install. Copied the same cab to / and it installed ok.
I formatted my sd card after installing Dwangs ROM, however I originally formatted it wrong so I got the black screen. Before I formated the SD card I had downloaded a bunch of apps.
Now that I've formatted the sd card all of my apps are gone. When I go into the Market to re-download them the market thinks I still have them installed.
I went to Manage Applications and cleared the cache of the Market App.
I then sorted for 3rd party apps and sure enough they still all show up under that filter but they are all 0.00Kb and when I click on them the phone just says App no found.
Anything else I should try beyond a whipe and re-install the Rom?
Yeah I had that happen too. I just went ahead a re-installed the rom, but I'm pretty sure if you pushed the .apks to /system/sd your phone would read them properly. They would have to be named exactly as they were before though - "com.handcent.nextsms.apk" for example, and not just "Handcent.apk."
this is happening with my lock screen widget, i try to add it it's not there i look in applications under settings and it's not listed, i go to market and in my downloads its there but i can't open or uninstall i've flashed 3 times already do i need a wipe? i have my apps on sd but i'm not trying to install them from market again
You can manually edit out the problem apps entries in /data/system/packages.xml
Nevermind i fixed it...just did a nandroid restore and then flashed cm4.2.4 then my theme and it's there and working now, strange
I recently flashed CSDI V4 ROM, and found that I can't get Apps2sd works, so I wiped ext partition of my SD card, and repaired it.
After booted, I installed about 25 apps from the Market, and on the 26th, somehow the Market kept telling me Download was unsuccessful for any apps that I tried to download... I tried everything, I wiped everything and re-flashed the ROM, and after booting, I found that the Market Application is gone! I tried nandroid backup and it's still not there, any idea how to bring it back......?
Any thoughts will be appreciated...
I just restored nandroid backup from 15th April... And the market seems back, but it still won't download any apps, it kept telling me "Download was unsuccessful"
I'm in China, does google market temporarily down??
Help me guys... thx.
Sounds like you're out of space.
run
Code:
busybox df -h
in terminal to see how full your partitions are.
Good luck.
I have a Samsung Tab P1010 (wifi only) and I cannot install any apps off the market. whenever i try to download and install, it downloads and finishes but right before it should install I get the error message "insufficient space" yet I have 15GB free in my SD card and 13GB free in the internal memory. Even stranger is that I CAN install an .apk without any problems. The problem only occurs on items from the Market. The tablet is rooted but is not running a custom rom. its running the stock 2.2.1. I had this problem before, so i did a factory reset and I was able to install off the market for a few hours before i got the insufficient space error any help will be appreciated. I tried to wipe the Market cache under Manage Applications but that doesnt fix it.
Hey,
I purchased the Swiftkey.
after the update to 4.4.2 it stopped working and after reinstalling He wrote me a message that the installation failed.
Couldn't Install on USB Storage or SD Card

I have searched all over the internet and found two possible solutions, which don't work. These solutions were:
Unmount the SD card. Install app, remount the SD card. This won't work as the HTC One does not have an SD card
In the secure/asec folder, find and delete "smdl2tmp1.asec". Although I found the folder, it was empty and therefore I was unable to delete the file.
*Before update Swiftkey is worked.
This same thing is happening to me on my One with 4.4.2, none of my purchased apps installed before the update appear and I can't reinstall any of them. Tried both of those, didn't work.

Same thing is happening with my HTC one Google play edition 4.4.2.
I did a mass install from the playstore, and all of a sudden i start getting flooded with "Couldn't Install on USB Storage or SD Card" errors. I looked for the 'smdl2tmp1.asec' file and had no luck finding it.
a df of the system shows free space on all partitions: http://i.imgur.com/4IiVLjy.png
I was able to 'adb install rootexplorer.apk' and it was successfull, but the update from the playstore gives the above error.
I did not understand, you can find the file smdl2tmp1.asec?
And what command you noted in the screenshot you attached?
I'm having the same issue. Updated HTC One GPE to 4.4.2 and noticed that some of my apps were missing. I tried to download again from the Play Store, only to receive the "Couldn't Install on USB Storage or SD Card" error message popup.
For what it's worth.. I switched to CM 11 4.2.2 (nightlies) and the storage error went away. I would still love to know whats causing the error in the Google play edition rom.
I posted this in another thread but I figured I would repeat it here since there seems to be a lot of people having this problem.
I had tried all of the methods on the web to fix it but none of them applied to the HTC One. The only way I was able to get rid of the error was to flash the 4.4.2 update using the stock recovery. I had tried with TWRP three times but everytime I kept getting that error message with a bunch of my apps.

Yes there seem to be two threads running on this. I have the same problem that I posted on the other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48618286
I too have TWRP so I wonder if it is related to that?
Nick
Update: I was flashed sinlessrom (Google play edidtion 4.2.2) with TWRP, and ran into 0 storage issues. It sounds like it's not related to 4.2.2 directly, but maybe the 4.2.2 OTA update bundled by HTC?
same problem
Just like the first post i bought swiftkey that worked on 4.4 and after the OTA 4.4.2 i can not install it anymore.
Now I want to install threema and it's the same...
can some one verify that it has something to do with apps we bought?
i bought another app... same issue
playstore cache wiped
dalvik wiped
cache wiped
can not find smdl2tmp1.asec which was mentioned in many boards

I had this same problem it effected all my paid apps. I couldn't install on sd card or internal storage from play store, I could restore them from titanium backup but then updates would fail with the same error.
interestingly it didn't happen to me when I updated to ARHD 4.2.2 custom Rom. But a month or so later when my carrier released their 4.2.2 OTA. Which I extracted firmware.zip. from and flashed manually. So maybe it's a firmware issue.
I can't say exactly what fixed it but after trying the usual clearing caches, uninstalling play store updates etc. I decided to do a full wipe. After making a backup with twrp 2.6.3.3 and backup of internal storage to my pc i wiped everything all partitions including internal storage.
Then connected usb in recovery and
unmount all partitions with twrp menu
adb shell
e2fsck -fvy /dev/block/mmcblk0p35
To ensure there were no partition errors on my internal storage. Then adb push and reflashed ARHD clean setup as normal then tried to install my paid apps and it worked. [emoji106][emoji1]
After that I restored all my other apps and setting with titanium and all was right with the world once more
Maybe it needed the clean install after firmware update or maybe there was indeed some type of error with my internal storage but something about that procedure fixed it for me. Hope it helps somebody good luck.
Windows users be aware wipeing your phone this way may cause problems with drivers and adb to fail. Please be carefull !!!! I use Linux so drivers are not a problem for me.
