Hi,
Settings-application-manage-SD card.
Some apps, like Angry Birds and other games, are currently installed on your SD Card.

1.) i did try that but third blade cant still be installed. problem stays the same
2.) internal and external sd card were wiped out when i cleaned my phone about 3 weeks ago. ive successfully installed all 3 angry birds i just wait a few seconds and then it went ok but the still cant install thir blade.
is there any fix for this??

Latest market has a bug and it wont let you install big apps even if you have free space like Third Blade, to install Third Blade install an older market and it should work,then get back to the new market, its a known issues if you search around

Just figured it out too....seems to work.
I have plenty of storage, cleared the caches' and everything, but still didnt work.
Went into manage applications and then to market. I just uninstalled the update.
Opened the market again (the old one opened) and can download them no problem now....

If you can't revert back to v2.3.6 then try installing thru this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15992973#post15992973
After that I needed to clear data for "Download Manager" and "Market" in Settings->Applications->Manage->All.

[Help] Suddenly Cannot Install Apps

Today when i was planning to reinstall Flash because i want to watch FIFA, i found out that i can't install it. it tells me " Sorry, there's not enough space to install this item." So i went off and uninstall a few apps. Now i have 33.32 MB of available space in my internal phone storage, still i cannot install any app. not even tiny update. I tried to do a recovery but it didn't help. Does anyone know what's wrong with my phone? Thank you in advance!
P.s. i have froyo
Yeah, you need to clear more space. Remember to clear your unwanted cache, especially your browser cache.
Have you tried rebooting yet? Could be as simple as that. Were you trying to update it? Or install from scratch? Try uninstall and reinstall instead of updating. If youre on custom Froyo ROM and had enabled aps2sd, try aps to internal mem.

It did this to me. I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it and it worked.
Thanks for all your responses. However, i don't think its just a specific app, i tried to download any new apps, and it still says there no space. In addition, i tried to take pictures using the stock camera app. And then it tells me that i don't have space in my SD card either!!! i have 3.69gb left in my SD card!
p.s. i don't have apps2sd

Vogue Angry Birds

Hey guys, I dont have my XV6900 here to test, but can anyone tell me if our phones will play Angry Birds (I have latest kernel and Fresh Froyo).
Thanks in advance....
I tried installing it with Fresh FroYo 2.2.1 and the SD card unmounts during the install and it fails :/

well, this happens with other apps to ie. Tic Tac Toe
sooo who nows where the problem lies, the app, sd card, or phone?
It would be awesome if I could get this installed for my little crumbcrunchers to play, and me of course...
Got it installed wth Icubus r16... i got as far as trying to load the first level. No go. It just kinda hung. If you mute your sound settings you'll load up a lot faster... but still... i don't think we have the horse power to run this thing.
LOL, i already play it since beta release, no hang up...

I'm using the "not so super froyo" rls: 10/17 and for my kern: voguimg-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-09-10-10_23.nbh... I edit the kernel to run in 320x480 and I set it to overclock at 520. I have a 4gb sd card in...
Hope that helps. My game runs very well. Although I have noticed that there are these white walls in the game and it's very difficult to see them. I assume it's just because the vogue's screen is ****:/

OK I matched your setup to the letter, tried to install from SD and got the unmounted SD card issue, and when i soft reset with the SD card in the app is not in the tray, and then the manage programs area its a grey icon with SD over it. Same if I install via adb.

Do you use astro and then open it in app manager? Maybe it's more of a problem with your sd card :/

I'm running it on the vogue with incubus rls 15. mine did the same thing as far as unmounting the sd during install. I re installed it back to back and then rather than exiting just hit open and it worked and placed the game icon in my apps drawer. Also as a side note when the game introduces a new bird or freezes before loading a level I just hold in my camera button to bring up the recently used items and click angry bird again this brings up the pause screen and i just hit replay level and all is good.
Mine hangs
I have Incubus26 RLS16 running on NAND. I had to reboot couple of times my phone because the SD card got unmounted and then it didn't recognize the storage. And tried installing againg using Astro.
It loads, but when I try to start the first level, it always hangs. I haven't been able to play at all
to install angry birds unmount the sd card before installing it'll install fine, then remount and play...the latest update for angry birds in the market...released...today or yesterday fixed my graphic problem (white terrain and background) which made it harder to play. there is some lag when playing mostly when the ad pops up at the beginning of a level.
I was able to find a download of this on the net.
I could NOT install from SD card.
I had Root Explorer, so changed permissions on the \tmp folder.
Copied the 14MB apk to the \tmp directory.
Installed from NAND - install went fine, no issues.
Was able to play, though its a little slow, @ 500 mhz
Another way is,
After install it, and get unmount msg,
Dont restart your phone, dont unmount your sd.
Go to Settings->Applications->Manage applications.
Choose Angry Bird and push "Move to phone" button.
Thats all.
Still get your unmount msg, just restart the phone.
Angry Bird will still remain in your phone memory and you could still play it.
Anyway, I was optimize and tweak Fresh Froyo,
now I could run it without oc. Just 400 without GPU oc too.
I just change the resolution.
i've found the latest update to be almost unplayable...it did fix the graphical problems (white terrain) but its not worth the extreme lag even running it on nand incubus rls 16, over clocked to 501mhz, with latest 11/12/2010 kernal... im going to have to stick with 1.3.5 version of angry birds unless someone knows of a some setting that might help

[Q] [milestone]Unable to restore / install some apps

I have just applied the CM6.1.2 01-28 update, when i was trying to use titanium backup to restore my apps, the restoration wasnt complete.
Some apps, such as angry birds, switchpro widget and deluxe moon(etc. ...) cannot be restored
Originally i thought it was the problem of titianium so i tried to download them again through market, but jst few seconds after installation began it poped "unkown error - 8"
I then thought it was the problem of the update hence i 3 wiped, reapplied the 2.2.1 sbf(GOT one), and applied CM update, and wiped again. The same problem appeared
Now i even cant install google apps from the market, like maps.
Anyone knows what my device is going on?
Do you have a full (paid) version of titanium?
Free version it's limited to restores, i think.
yes...mine is a paid version
i can install titanium from file manager but failed for angry birds
i tried to UNMOUNT THE SD CARD and reinstall angry birds again, it worked
but once i MOUNT the sd card and install angry birds..it FAILED(even if i set the default installation location to internal storage)
can somebody please explain it it is so inconvenient to unmount sd card everytime to install a new app!!
Oops I hit the thanks button by accident.
Oh well.. you're welcome! lol
Anyway, do you have an ext2 partition?
If so, it could be that the CM update that you applied, which has apps2sd working, may have been in the middle of reconfiguring the system.
After I finally got the ext2 partition set up, I booted up and alot of apps weren't working. But suddenly, after awhile, suddenly everything was working great.

[Q] Market on CM7

I'm having troubles with Market on latest CM7 Nightlys
Market is FC everytime when i'm trying to install/update an app
I've re-installed gapps, no help
I've cleared up cache/data for Market, no help
Tried re-flash latest [ROM][NIGHTLYS][05/06/2011] CyanogenMod 7 for Galaxy S (Gingerbread 2.3.4), no help
I've noticed that selected app is downloaded successfully but when it should start installation, it will FC (there is over 1.5GB of free space on internal memory partition)
So basically, i can't do nothing.. I'm trying to avoid factory reset to my SGS, i did that just two builds ago
Help is appreciated.
Regards,
Stan
Clear the cache/data from Google Services Framework in Applications > Manage Applications > All as well, and see if that helps.

How many free space do you have on your /datadata partition ?

36.79MB used, 135.21MB free, r/w
Tried nandroid backup, factory reset, all works.. but I restored my backup, there is plenty of things to set-up etc.. and I'm in no mood to play with it
partition
I still didn't fix the problem, do anybody knows what other than WIPE can I do?
However, i find a workaround myself..
There is a partition /cache where all your market downloads are stored. I can find those apps (i've tried to download/install) stored here (multiple times) so I simple clicked on it and installed it. Works!
BTW, This partition is only 50MB and i had only like 5MB free space left. Removed half of this cache using Root Explorer but the market problem still isn't fixed.
Devs, how is it? What happen if this partition gets fully?

[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.

Delete useless apps and wipe dalvik-cache, then try again
I did that already. I have loads of space dude. It's some problem with google play but idk how to solve it. I already cleared the cache for google play but still it's not letting me download.

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 )
