[Q] GT-I9000 stuck in Cyanogenmod 9's boot animation (was fine).

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.

[Q] error insufficient memory?

Hey ppl. I'm getting an "error insufficient memory" problem while trying to update whatsapp. I've already cleared the cache for google play and whatsapp but still it shows up. I installed another app which was 4 MB and that installed fine. So what should i do? The whatsapp update is 9.3 MB and i have 35 MB free on internal memory. Using PAC ROM.

Extrat the .apk and install it Whatsapp 2.10.361

Oh ok thx. Another problem. I cleared cache & data for google play and google play services. Then I was trying to install doodle jump(20 mb) i still had loads of space. It finished the download and said storage is limited and then "invalid package file" so it didn't download it. I never had this problem before. Is it because of the ROM? I'm using Link2SD also.

well, I guess the problem might be caused by Link2sd, you need to check and to manage correctly the app and your sd-ext partition even the apps you have moved to the sd-ext partition, be careful with the apps you move, some of them need to stay in system partition in order to work properly
my advice?? Don't use sd-ext partition to avoid problems, I'm sure you don't use all your installed apps, so you can try to delete this useless app or install it, use it and do backup with TB and uninstall it, when you need it again use TB to restore the app and data anyway you can continue using your sd-ext partition cofiguring the manager apps correctly, (If I were you I'd use int2ext script, it's the best way to increase your memory without troubles and chaotic configurations )

[Q] Application Installation Problem

I need a little help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. Running on this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2442024 version 20131114. I have link2sd installed and working in my phone.
Recently when I tried updating my hangouts, it wouldn't. Instead it showed me insufficient storage. I cleared the cache of all apps and hangouts data to create some more space. After all that I have managed to get a free space of about 40MB. The hangout update is only 13MB. But I'm still getting the same error while installing hangouts. After that I tried uninstalling hangouts and then install it again. It still didn't work.
Can anyone please help me with this?

I now found that I still have the problem. This time wiping cache from recovery menu didn't help. Finally I had to uninstall two other apps to install a new one. Can anybody help me?
This time I tried installing whatsapp(12MB) in my phone when I had about 40MB free internal memory. It would download from play store fine. But then while installing, it is showing "insufficient memory" error. Then I had to uninstall a game and another app(TrueCaller) to install whatsapp.
Any help would be much appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

Internal data partition is used by dalvik-cache and the installed apps, so try to wipe dalvik-cache partition, use Titanium Backup or CWM to do this

[Q] ExistenZ Ultra 3.1.5

Did a search but could not find this issue and cannot post on dev thread for ROM so i posting here if wrong place i sorry.
OK the issue, after updating to 3.0 of ultra i cant update any apps as it keeps spitting out "Insufficient Storage Available" which is a crock of ..........as i have 1.57GB out of a total of 5.37GB available on internal plus external sd card with 12GB available but not relevant as apps on internal with 1.57GB available. Have updated to 3.1.5 but still the same and also unable to install any apps, yet i have less apps on it now than prior the 3.0 as i was generally running under a GB space before. Memory running at about 300MB out of 840MB
Any help or pointers or criticism for not searching far and wide enough to find a answer gracefully accepted
Churchnilled

Clear playstore datas in settings/apps/all
Also reboot a few times, wipe dalvik cache and cache.

No Joy
Thank you kind Sir for your superb roms and your help.
I did as you said but am still having the same problem.
Anything else i can try?

Have you made full wipe before installing eXistenZ??
Have you made backups via CWM Recovery before??
For example I have made a backup with CWM recovery which wasn't seen by other recoveries or system himself.
I had to install CWM recovery once again and only this one seen two backups which take me about more than 2GB internal storage.
After fresh install (with full wipes, also internal storage) fresh eXistenZ + 22 apps which I have installed after I have 4.05GB free space on internal storage and no problems with install anything.

Narrowing it down a bit

Hi thank you for the reply,
I have not used CWM to create backup's i have only ever used Titanium but the issue is slightly different as the amount of free space is correct.
I think i have narrowed it down somewhat as i am able to install apps from Play store that have never been on the phone before the issue appears to be apps that are already on the phone can not be updated, i have uninstalled ones needing updating except for Chrome and NDR Utils as it wont allow me to uninstall them so i have frozen them for time being, i then rebooted and tried to reinstall them but even with them uninstalled it is still spitting out the "insufficient Storage" error
so my thinking is something is being left from uninstalling that is causing the issue as like i said above i can install anything else from Play store that has not been on phone before, for example i installed links2sd after it spat out the insufficient storage error for a previously installed app i tried installing again i have plenty of internal storage available for apps and it letting me install stuff that not been on phone before but wont let me update or reinstall stuff on or has been on phone before.
After doing some searching i found others having similar issues with different phones and roms etc but thus far all the solutions to those have not worked for me.
I know i could just easily wipe and start a fresh but to me thats defeating the object and takes so long even with all the backups etc, it just a real PITA to start afresh so i sooner search,read,beg,ask etc etc and exhaust every other avenue before admitting defeat and wiping.

[Q] How to solve insufficient storage space error?

Hi
I have the galaxy S3 Mini i8190 smartphone, lately, whenever I try to update applications I get an error insufficient storage available, I used a guide I found here on XDA to use my 32GB SD card instead of the internal storage and have been working like it for a long time without a problem, there's still over 9GB free space and on every app above 10MB I get this error, I tried cleaning the cache for all apps, even wiping the cache partition using CWM recovery, removing not needed apps, cleaning junk files, basically every suggestion I could find, nothing seems to work.
So far the problem is limited to updating apps, I have no problem installing new apps, there are no specific apps the problem occur with.
Please advise on what else can be done
Thank you.

Well, some time ago I couldn't install or update apps, because of your problem. I fixed it like this -->
1. Make a nandroid backup through CWM
2. Enter recovery and wipe : data , cache and dalvik cache (in advanced)
3. Now restore your nandroid backup
4. Reboot and everything should work as normal
PS If the above doesn't work consider flashing a completely stock firmware from www.sammobile.com

Well, thanks, but I think I managed to solve the problem last night by myself thanks to some suggestions I found on another forum somewhere.
All I did was run the following command in the app terminal emulator:
su
and after that:
set-install-location 0
tried updating the apps that I couldn't update and it updated just fine, hopefully it won't happen again, I wonder what changed that setting in the first place.
