Can't install apps! - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have 30mb of free space on my n1's internal memory and all of a sudden I can't install any apps. I'm running FRF91 and this is only one in a list of really strange problems that I'm having with the update. If anyone can give suggestions on what to do, I would greatly appreciate it.

ok, so some apps will install and some won't, kinda strange.

Question about custom roms.

Hi
I have a question about custom roms.
I was wondering why when you install a new custom rom. i.e jvt rom. wait till a stable release of version 4.
Every rom i have ever tried. After a while using them maybe two to four weeks.
I start getting lag and it gets worse as time goes on. I flash a fresh rom again. And it flies again.
Is this something with android itself. Or a lack of memory in the phone.
I have a i9000 16GB with a 16GB sd card. Loads of space and plenty of memory left. I have a lot of apps but not a massive amount.
I am using Go Launcher and newest semaphore kernel.
Thanks.
Have you ever used lagfixes like converting your filesystem to ext4? I never had the problem that the phone is lagging more and more the longer I used the same rom.
I haven't had that problem either. Sure you aren't adding too many apps or widgets that are activated at boot or continually work in the background?

Hi Thanks for reply.
I have ext4 running. I am not sure if it's an app i have installed. But i do get bad lag sometimes.
Gonna try a reinstall with only a few apps for a while see if makes any difference. Thanks for advice.
the size of your free space on your SD card doesnt matter if lagging comes into play. or on your internal sd card.
the RAM usage is where you should look for. if you have to many widgeds running, or apps running in the backround, this is what makes your phone laggy.
look up your task manager, maybe you have not anough free RAM.

Hi Cheers
I have plenty of ram and only a couple of screens. hardly any widgets.
One thing i done was installed a new launcher Balancer and it's made a massive difference so the speed of my phone. It's so much faster and no lag at all.
The i9000 is short on memory and this launcher uses hardly any and is super fast.
Cheers.
Try erasing Dalvick Cache from a custom recovery, should increase app loading.

Problems updating/installing apps

Hi folks,
I just encountered this problem yesterday. I found my updates running really, really slow. It doesn't even show how many MBs are being downloaded. Even installing the downloaded file takes forever.
Not only that, even using the Applications in Settings to move apps to SD is uber slow. Calculating space taken up by apps are slow as well. Everything else is snappy, though, like typing, opening apps, etc. It just seems like the malady is limited to app management.
Any ideas why this is happening and how to correct this? :-(

[Q] Memory leak?

Hi,
I seem to have an odd bug of my phone's free ram disappearing over several days (checked via system>apps>running processes). This is fixed when I reboot. On start up, I would have about 100mb free space, with some processes like launcher, whatsapp, swype (as the main memory eaters). After some time, this 100mb disappears down to 0, and I don't see any other new applications under the running tab or task killer apps. Even if I kill everything I won't have as much free ram as right after a reboot. This causes apps to often kill themselves (I assume from lack of ram), and is generally annoying.
Any ideas what might be the cause of this?
I'm using Slim ICS 3.8 and devil3 0.79. Thanks for any help!
Hey
Not sure why this is happening..but u can try a factory reset..or an update as slimics 4.2 is out...
Cheers
If my post helped, don't mind hitting the Thanks button..
Reflash the kernel. Should solve it. What kernel are you using specifically? Sorry, I can't see it on the xda app

Was on devil3 0.79, updated to 1.03.
I would like to avoid reflashing the rom since I find it's a hassle to reinstall all the apps
Will see if kernel flashing helps though, thanks!

App icon keeps disappearing!

Does anyone else have this issue? It started happening to me on JB stock LQ4 - I'd put the "sportstracker" app on my homescreen, and every now and again it would be deleted (its an app I use daily, so I notice it!).
I didn't think too much of it, but now I've installed LightJB and the CoCore E 6.0 I half expected this problem to have gone away - but it has happened again! It only seems to affect that one app, which is installed in just the same way that others are - not on the SD card, from the playstore etc etc.
Its more of a mild annoyance than anything else, but I have read of at least one other person experiencing it - any ideas where to look for a solution?
Cheers!

Go to settings, then applications, and tap on the app. Move it to phone storage, and then put the app back on your screen and restart. It should stay there. Seems a bit of a bug with touchwiz that if it is on sd card it is removed upon restart.
Yep, touchwizz have that bug.

I was just about to post to say that it wasn't on the SD card (because I haven't put it there!!), and then noticed that in apps it says "Move to device storage", so I guess it actually is on the SD card for some peculiar reason. Do the app developers get to specify where it is stored?
Anyway, thanks - I'll move it across and hopefully it'll "stick"!

Use Apex or other launcher and all will be fine.

Going very slow - especially returning to desktop

Having problems with my phone a good few months after I updated to L. After initial problems I wiped the cache after update and it made a great difference and behaved nicely.
But now it seems to have gotten very sluggish and a cache wipe makes only a very short term difference (maybe a few days to a week). It seems especially sluggish responding to Home button, with the icons for phone, SMS etc. sometimes taking up a good 10s, maybe even more, to appear.
I have 1.36GB storage free and c.283MB of RAM free currently.
Any ideas or any apps that can help diagnose?

Thanks but I'm not going to be doing that....any ideas for helping with stock?
It could be a RAM problem. If you have root try greenifying some apps, and perhaps deativate Google Now or always listening options. Try also other launcher, like Nova Launcher...

Try factory reset or reinstall stock but there is no reason to not install a custom rom which is much more better than stock

Some apps don't work with root. For example Banking apps. So there are at least 1 reason to not install a custom ROM.
Get rid of Xposed, Facebook and Facebook messenger. Use the mobile version of them.
See if there's too many apps running in background. You barelly have 1.5 GB of free space, so i assume you've plenty of apps installed. Also try to Uninstall Updates and Disable some of them under Settings > Application. You can reclaim some space and get rid of bloat.
