I am using Vaniljeclair Release 11 on a Sprint HTC Touch, on the SD Card via Haret. My system isn't very stable, so I must occasionally reinstall the system. I recently reinstalled and reloaded my data partition from a backup. As a result, my GMail cache is now out of sync. There are plenty of pages which detail how to clear the cache, but they appear to be inappropriate for my system, as the expected entries do not exist in "Manage Applications."
How does one clear the cache and re-sync without those entries? Do I need to delete something with Astro?
Thanks,

my experiences in situations like this, you need to get rid of your backup and do a full clean boot. you can use astro to backup your apps, but as far as data, i have never been able to use a data restore- best suggestion- store as much on mmc as you can that way there is not that much to restore- just use astro to fine the file and open it again---
hope it helps
How I can backup aps with astro?
Sent from my HTC Kaiser Ion using XDA App
from astro, hit power button (to bring up sub menu) tap tools and that will give you the app manager/backup option.

Is anyone else having issues with Market on the ADP 1.51 (CRB43) builds?
When I attempted to download an update to an existing app (GV) it downloads but when it tried to install "Installation error Insufficient storage available"
I have apps2sd and I've removed the stock ringtones from the build giving me only 89% of used space in /system directory and I have about 600mb free on my ext2 partition. Insufficient storage my a$$!
Anyone else have issues with this "Insufficient storage" error?
Do you have the cache etc all running off the SD? Apps is only one step, where it installs the apps to the SD. However unless the cache and so is moved, its like having firefox installed on one drive, but storing your browsing stuff on your main drive still. So youll run out of room unless its all on the SD.

Yeah. Cache is also on SD. Just to be certain, I cleared the cache. Same issue.
I'm assuming your using the app to put things on the sd. I used lucids script to do it to mine. I wonder if something did not get linked over. Tried using a file manager to see what's on the internal?

After clearing the cache and discovering that it didn't work (just for the heck of it I also cleared the cache directory on SD) I tried a wipe and everything downloads again. I fastboot flash my data.img and I'm back to the same issues. Not sure what the problem is but I'm considering a wipe. I already backed everything up by backup pro. I just loathing the fact that Market will loose all the apps that I had installed already (they will all say FREE instead of INSTALLED or UPDATE AVAILABLE). Is there a file for market that marks what has been downloaded/installed?
The tip Id recommend. Try Lucids script for moving the data and cache before doing anything. Since if your ready to wipe, cant hurt to try and see if it does it.
Next do the pre tip I did personally. I used atrackdog, Hit menu and do export, it saves to a .txt file. Open that file and you will know which apps YOU had on there vs everything in the my downloads.
I wish I could help more as far as cache and why its not working fully. Ive had my share of struggles and always lucked out.. which is why I hope the 1st option works for you.

Here is the answer!! i have the same problem, i tried to get out the sd card, and it worked(app installs succcesfully)!!
THE PROBLEM IS: EXT2 PARTITION (android do that.. wrong) the ext partition was causing the problem in the installation
1. download minitool partition wizard(or use a working partition tool)!
2. in recovery(volume down and boot phone into recovery) a, go into usb mode(mount and storage/usb mode) (if you have old recovery, download the 4.0...... i cant remember but the newest what you can find)
you have seen 2 partition and its crap!
3. creat 1 partition FAT32 PRIMARY! and format the SD card! (with all storage) this is all you need on your droid!!!(and your music, pictures and apps too)
4. after that, take rom on the SD and install it.
AND APP INSTALLATIoN WORKS!
Not the same phone but for what it's worth this does not appear to be hardware specific. This problem for me was caused by the Google app sync. As soon as it got too many apps in the install queue, it breaks and thinks the drive is full. I was able to fix it by going into recovery and clearing the cache again on my LG P999.
Hey everyone,
Probably already been answered, but I just can't find it.
As we all know, we wipe alot here.
How do I save the game data so that I don't have to start a new game everytime I wipe?
I've tried backing up with Backup Root and Astro, but once I install all my saved game data is gone.
Can someone help? or Enlighten?
Try Titanium. Otherwise hit up the developers and have them create the save file to sd cards.
try to adb pull your /data/app or /data/app-private, wipe flash whatever.. then push data files back
Doesn't mybackup pro or whatever save app data and restore it?
Yeah it does but it's inconsistent at best. I've had it restore everything ok (including migrating my icon locations at home) and then the next time I try it it'll act like it's done but then it'll corrupt Browser, ect, ect. Now I know how to fix these things but it's just inconsistent. Just saying
But yeah, it works when it works.
Hi people,
I have a Nexus One with Cyanogenmod 7, and I recently got an error saying that the SD card is blank or has f*cked filesystem (Sandisk SDHC 8GB). I managed to format the motherf*cker but now I still have cache left on the phone from the apps I had on my SD card.
On phone, with only some basic apps.
Available : 31.98 MB
Total Space: 196 MB
So how can I clear that cache, or leftovers from the apps I had on the SD ?
Thank's in advance.
Well, any of the apps that you had moved to the sdcard will still require removing from your phone. Using Froyo's app2sd moves only a portion of the app to the sdcard, so parts of it still remain along with the dalvik cache and the data for that app. So go into Settings -> Applications -> Manage and remove the apps that you no longer want (or were originally stored on the sdcard).
Oh, you're right, I found the apps that were on the SD and I can delete them from there. It's kinda silly, I've tried all sorts of different things but I didn't look in that section.
Thanks alot mate !
No problem. Glad you got it working.
I uninstalled everything that had leftovers on the phone but that only gave me about 12 mb space on the phone, so now I have 45 mb free out of 192. Is this normal ?
Thank you.
Were you running any app2sdext or just using the Froyo method of putting apps on there?
If you run
Code:
su
cd /data
du -hd 1
It will show you the size of each folder. If you go into those folders and run that command again, it will show you the sizes of those as well. If you change the command slightly to
Code:
du -hd 1 | grep M
It will only show you things that have a capital M in it (which is what is used to designate MB, so it will weed out some of the smaller folders).
This might give you an idea of what is taking up your space. I assume you have already sorted your apps by size in Settings -> Applications -> Manage?
I was using the App2SD free app from the market.
I ran the commands you said and this is what I've got (only high values here) :
31.1M ./data
94.6M ./dalvik-cache
28.7M ./app

I would wipe your dalvik cache (can be done in the advanced section of recovery). You might be able to manually do it yourself, but it is easier in the recovery). There are probably caches from previous programs that haven't been erased. Android will regenerate any caches that it needs when it boots back up.
Seems like wiping dalvik's cache did the trick, now I've got over 100mb free on the phone.
Thank you very much brother.
If you are in need of more space on your phone, I can highly recommend using an app2sdext option. This can make the phone think it has much more internal memory. I am using a 1GB partition on my sdcard to store all my apps and dalvik cache. I use S2E which is an extremely easy app that is on the market. All you have to do is partition your sdcard (which does require it to be wiped again) and install this app. Then you just check what you want moved over to this new partition, the phone will reboot, and you will now have space to have everything installed that you want.
I have CM7.2 and clockworkmod recovery. I've noticed recently that I'll snyc my facebook contacts, set my keyboard under settings, etc. If I reboot, all of that is gone. I have to uninstall facebook app and re-install to resync everything, I have to go into settings and re select my keyboards.
When I first flashed CM7 I did a full data wipe and rest, cleared cache, etc. I use Titanium Backup for scheduled backups if that matters. I don't actually know if other things are getting reset as well wen I reboot, but those are the obvious things I notice.
I would really like to avoid having to wipe this all and start from scratch.
Thanks in advance
Are you using something like s2e / apps2se? If so you may need to have Facebook data saving in internal memory rather than on the SD card.
That's about all I can think of, but hopefully it helps.

Yes, I do use apps2sd and have facebook saved to SD. I'll change that and see if it helps.
This actually doesn't make a lot of sense to me. And unfortunately, FB takes up around 12 MG on my phone, so I was trying to keep it on my SD. After I reboot, if I go into FB, it's set to don't sync contacts, even though I had previously set it to sync all contacts. I figured once the SD card is remounted, the synced info would come back.
Also, still not sure why my keyboards are all unchecked after reboot. Am I required to have Android Keyboard installed?

Unfortunately, that is the way it is if you move Facebook or Twitter app to SD and after reboot you will have to enter username and password again. My understanding is because of security concern.
You have your keyboard installed to the sdcard as well which is why you have to select it again on reboot.

Hi all.
My GT-I9000 had been working fine with Cyanogen mod 9. Until about a week ago, the phone gave low memory warning in the notification bar. The notification persisted despite having uninstalled several unused apps. And finally the day came that apps keeps crashing until the point that apps would refuse to launch. So I thought I'll simply need to reboot the phone to refresh the memory, but what happened was I was forever stuck in Cyanogen mod 9 boot animation and could only get away with a battery pull. I'm definitely sure that I still have plenty of space left for apps/data/media. I would be much appreciated if some one could point out the cause and how to solve it. My phone could still enter Clock Work Recovery and despite having tried reflash Cyanogen mod 9 from CWM menu, that didn't solve the problem, neither did clear dalvik cache.
Yhaa it's annoying

I think it's because of the datadata partition is ful, and instead of deleting apps you can just move them to sd.
For now you have tow options, 1. delete all user data factory reset, wwich will delete all apps including data.
2. delete menual some apps from /data/app, you can do so with aroma file manager using costum kenels.
e.g. semaphore

Thank you. I will later try one of your solutions later.
But first, some questions. Since you said the data/data partition can be fulled. Does that mean I've reached my limit of app installation? Indeed I don't have that many apps.
Factory reset seems to be a simple solution. But since I have no chance to make data backup with titanium. Does my apps data be backup by google backup service?

Just bit the bullet and did a factory reset. I re installed the app one by one. Their data is backed up by either google backup service or their corresponding cloud service. Good as new and happy again.

You can try with a wipe cache+dalvik in recovery mode, if it doesn't work, try with a wipe data+cache+dalvik or reflash the ROM

Tnx for the reply. Yep, I've tried reflashed the rom (as mentioned in the original post) and that didn't help. The most important thing is now I'm back to normal again. This time I'll try to move any big apps (sygic...) to external SD card. Luckily the apps I use have their backup taken care of by cloud service.
