[Q] Installation error insufficient storage available. Help!! - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

Ran into above problem while updating an app on market. I clearly have more than enough space with 126mb free in internal storage and 4.18gb free on sd card. App is 16mb. Googled several solutions but nothing works.
clearing cache/dalvik cache
dismounting sd card before applying update
in adb:
chown system.system /data/app
chmod 0771 /data/app
I'm running cm6.1.2 port for milestone by nadlabak, with memhack installed. Trying not to do an uninstall/install cause there's some data I want to keep. Please help!

Maybe you try to download an apk too big? Try with another app smaller..

If this is from the true market, I believe you can update the app using market.android.com and trying to see if their servers will have an easier time then what you have tried
Good Luck
PM me & let me know how it goes

Google maps is bigger and has updated fine. I doubt a lack of storage is the real issue here...

I tried the methods listed because android market failed to update the app. No problems downloading the app, but installation fails. It's not a corrupted apk either because I've tried downloading over wifi several times.

So I think I may have found the problem memhack looks like it is screwing everything up because you have 2.2 take a look here

[Q] Market won't recognize sideloaded apps

It seems that since updating to the AT&T 2.2 Froyo update and rooting the market will not recognize any side loaded apps that have been added to the phone since upgrading to 2.2. All apps that I side loaded on 2.1 are recognized and can be updated but nothing on 2.2. Anyone else have this problem and if so have you been able to fix this issue?
I used SuperOneClick to root the phone and did a reboot the phone afterward to allow side loading of apps and it is working. I am still using the adb install command to side load all my apps, is this wrong?
If this is something that is not to be discussed I apologize now.
Well I don't have a direct answer to your question but since you are rooted I highly suggest you go and get Titanium Backup along with atrackdog.
The former application will alloa you to backup any applications you want (or aall of them) and then save them to your computer. you can then move the folder to any phone and use Titanium to reinstall the applications exactly where you left off. That means launchers will have the same layouts and games will still have their save states.
The latter will allow you to check the update status of those applications since they won't show up as downloaded applications from the market.

Titanium Backup has been installed since rooted on 2.1 but will have to check out atrackdog. Thanks for the help so far.

side loaded paid apps will NEVER show in market.
free ones can be restored...
tibu has never been able to restore market links for me either.
there used to be a program MCleaner but it got taken off the market..
but all it did was this (do it yourself)
Menu button > Settings > Applications > Manage Apps > All > Market
- force stop
- clear data
- clear cache (if availavle)
restart market > my apps
Gold!

Actually, it does. Market only keeps track of the apps you buy/download through it. What you're asking is like expecting Wal-Mart to know what you bought from Target.
Hey guys I just had a question while reading through the replies.
I downloaded atrakdog and got a list of all the apps needed to be updated.
One of the apps was the market..
Mine is version 2.3.4
I need to update to 5.0.12
How do you update market? Btw I'm running cm7 does this effect it?
Sent from my phone
Market should update automatically. As far as the sideload apps you can. Also get root explorer and copy paste them to system/app then reboot and they'll all be there.

Is there a manual way of updating your market? And what do you paste into system/app? ?

So your are saying instead of using adb installer just do a drop and drag to the system/app folder and install them that way? Now will that put them in the market place? I don't quite understand what you are really saying here. Excuse my ignorance.

That's exactly what I was thinking was moving the file to the system/app file then reinstalling the .apk first then doing the 3 button reboot to see if it would recognize the app on the market. I did try just a 3 button reboot after side loading a few apps using ADB Installer and just doing the normal drop and drag to the sim card and I know that doesn't recognize them. I am going to try and reinstall one of my apps that way and I will let you know if it shows up or not.
When trying to move a new .apk file to the system/app file it says "You cannot paste here because the file system is a read-only."

You have to click the small window at the top of the screen in root explorer that changes r/o to r/w. You have to do that in each directory you want to edit.

[Q] My Razr I can not install any app!!

Hi, my rooted Razr I (x86) can not install any app suddenly. I am sure that the storage is sufficient. It always got an "Insufficient storage available" in Google Play.
I searched some solutions which include :
1. deleting the files in "/data/dalvik-cache" and reboot.
2. deleting files in "/data/app"without right icon and delete titanium.odex file something like that
3. uninstall the update of Google Play, and clear its cache.
But none of solutions above worked. Could some one help me?
Delete previous app folders from the internal memory wherever they are:
Android/data/'etc'
Or:
Sdcard0/'apk folder'
Try to install the app again
Did work for me.
Good luck

I don't suppose you'd also changed your default install location to external SD card?
I changed this on mine and got the error you mentioned... had to change it back to be able to install/update apps.

[Q] Trouble with paid Apps?

I picked up two HTC One devices today as soon as the Sprint Store opened. I have as of yet not be able to download any previously purchased paid applications.
This includes several rather expensive EA games, that just say "Not Compatible with your Device" which doesn't even allow me to download to my device. (Mass Effect Infiltrator and Need for Speed shift come to mind first)
All other paid apps seem to download, but fail to install. (such as Weatherbug Elite and Minecraft Pocket Edition) I've tried from phone, as well as the Google Play website on my PC.
I'm in the US, on Sprint. Tried both WIFI and 3g.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, did you find a solution?
Thank you in advance.
For the ones that say not compatible: wait until compatibility is added. I've come across the same multiple times and some never gained compatibility with my device. That is on the app developer, not the app store
For the other issues, go to settings>apps>all
Delete cache and data for both Google play store and Google framework services and force stop both. That should fix

Thanks for the quick reply. I did both things you suggested. Once I cleared and force stopped, I had to restart the phone, as I kept getting the "No Connection" error on the Play Store, on both WiFi and Sprint.
Once I rebooted, I attempted to install another paid app, and it again failed. The error is "Couldn't Install on USB storage or SD card." (again I can install any other app that I didn't pay for)
If its important I did root, I'm running TWRP recovery and ViperRom 1.0.
Same problem on stock root Rom. My friend is unrooted and the same apps install fine

You could try installing esfile manager on your old phone that the apps work on and backing up the apps to the sd card then copy the backed up apk to the HTC one to install it might not work but I have done this many of times with my EVO 3d ans my touch pad

That's on deodexed roms only. It may be a permissions issue. The apks themselves install fine from your sdcard if you have them.

The current idea is this:
Downloading paid apps requires writing a temp file to mnt/.asec/
But the issue is, mnt is read only.
It should be fixed in no time. Vipers the man.

It's not always a temp file. In the case of Swiftkey the actual apk is in mnt/. Asec. I was able to pull it from my dna and install from my card.

try redownload the ROM, maybe the ROM package itself is corrupted from a bad download.
