So I woke up this morning and found my phone acting weird. And after a couple of reboots and cursing my phone is acting like never before. EVERY single application is force closing and NOTHING will start or change. I am stuck without being able to turn on WiFI or disable air plane mode. I have not changed anything on my phone that I can think of that would to this. Just suddenly nothing works. I would like to wipe and factory reset but I can't backup my data.
Hope someone can help!

Now my phone started to fc everything again. Fixing permissions does not work. I don't know what to do.

Did you wipe the Dalvik cache? This + Fix permissions helped me when I was having FCs
Yes I have. It works for some time then the problem slowly creeps back. Let's see how long it will work now.

That is what I did and it came back. As of now, flashing the latest gapps seems to work so far.

I have to state that your thread title is misleading. Obviously, on your phone, at least battery and screen ARE in working condition...
i meant flash a stock rom with odin including pit file... do you experienced those problems?
if that is what you have done there is nothing i can help you, maybe some more experienced people here can help you
I only experience this with cm7.1. Now, yesterday I wiped my phone completely and decided to reinstall cm7.1 and i did. I even restored my apps via market to make sure my backups were not the cause. Now, just a moment ago my phone went nuts and a temporary cure is to wipe cache and fix permissions. Usually it starts with google apps (some framework fc) and then everything goes.

Next time your apps start force closing, and clearing cache, dalvik cache, and fixing permissions does not work, take a look at your /datadata folder and make sure there is space in there. If there isn't, any apps that write data there will force close. Keep that in mind.

Thanks man, how do I check this though? Es file explorer is not telling me much
Also that folder is jammed with folders about each app.

The /datadata folder is essentially where apps keep some information. If you try to install an app without enough room there, it will say insufficient space; likewise, if it's really full and an app needs to write data there, it will force close. The size of this folder usually differs between ROMs.
I know Root Explorer shows the size and free space at the top for the folder you're in. I'm sure in other apps you could long-press the folder and there may be an option for folder details or something, but it's really dependent on the app.

I noticed in the folder cache/ that I have multiple files like download.apk download1.apk and so on...can anyone tell me what they are and if they're safe to delete? Appreciate any help
anybody know??

If you're talking about the downloadfile.apk, downloadfile1.apk files on your /sdcard/ yes.
If you're talking about the actual /cache folder off of the root, I'd still say yes. I was under the impression only the davlik and lost & found folders where there. Plus the cache folder can be wiped through the recovery menu without causing problems to the phone, it'll just take a while to boot up as it rebuilds the cache with the necessary files.
You could always copy them else where (using ADB, root explorer, estrongs, etc.). Erase them. If there's problems push them back

Yes I was referring to the cache folder off of root any idea as to what those files are?
My guess would be that they are leftover temp files from market downloads/installs. If you really want to know, you can use estrongs or root explorer to access the files and open them up (as if you wanted to install the apks)
I tried to install and see what it would say but it just said problem parsing the package
You can erase anything in cache and be fine. If you erase dalvik though just expect a long reboot.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but...
I just discovered this issue. Memory was running down to around 45mb even after using the Firerat MTD mod. I was just about to start from scratch (like I would on an old Windows machine), but then saw these in the /cache directory. Deleted the apk's and I'm back up to 107mb of free memory.
It's really strange. Shouldn't the Market app clear this cache or overwrite the files when they're no longer needed? Is there a setting somewhere to do this automatically or do I need to do so manually every time? Lastly, I'm running AOSP 0.9.9.2. Does this happen on anyone else's phone?

No, I totally get that. It's just odd that these junk files would just pile up in the /cache directory. What would happen if I wasn't rooted and couldn't wipe cache? Weird, right?
Maybe it's just an AOSP thing...
I installed FPSE, and then uninstalled it after having problems, but now I cannot install either the version I downloaded, or the version from the store. Both tell me I have insufficient storage space available, even though I have well over a gig free.
Also I am able to install other things.
Any ideas?
I am using Gingerbread 2.3.6, rooted..
Just redid the procedure with Odin to root, just in case that might clear something, but no...

Use some Root Browser to check your system folder to see if you have available storage space. Sometime the old files are not deleted and they fill up the storage space. If this is the case you need to format the system folder before you can install anything.
I had the same problem too,after I uninstalled N.O.V.A. 3 and can't install it back.But other apps has no problem of installing.
SD maid from Playstore might help here^_^.
Contrary to the name, it clears cache and left over data and logs from the phone internal and external memory.

If you have another Android device, you can force the app back on your phone.
1) Install app on other device
2) Make Titanium Backup of app on other device and send it to your phone
3) Open Titanium Backup on phone and go into preferences; change restore location to external storage
4) Restore app backup from other device
5) After restoring app, go into Settings -> Applications and move the app from SD to phone
6) Now app is installed on phone just as if you installed it normally and you can change your Titanium Backup restore location back to default

Try to clear cache and data from the store.
Easy, uninstall the app first, then go /data, search the app name, like "titanium" or the package name, sth like com.xxxxxx.xxx, should have that name.odex or any other, delete it, but make sure its correct name of coz, after u deleted the file in /data, u can install it again
But yea, like the above user say, it usually appear in crack app, if so, do the purchase mate

You must have some leftover file for previous installation, serch and delete of that will allow to install again.
I had this problem the other day trying to install apps with titanium backup and the play store, both were getting this error. I fixed it the same way by going into the data/app folder and deleteing the .odex files in there. I had two in my folder, one was 'com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex' and i cant remember what the other one was. I think when an app is uninstalled or modified, it sometimes leaves a .odex residue file which causes the error.
Here is a simple SOLUTION :-
Install lucky patcher now press the menu key
Choose troubleshooting now click on removes fixes and backup now u can install the application

Hi guys. I am running stock rooted xxlrg with the CF root kernel. Everything was suh-weet, and i was really happy. Using apex, running at 240dpi. I put my phone on to charge last night and this morning i cannot get to any of my apps apart from the stock sammy ones and a couple of others like dead space, glwg and thankfully xda. I can see both my internal and external sd cards and i can use the internet and change settings and stuff.
I cant get root explorer or play store or google maps, and i really dont know what to do.
I cant wipe as i dont want to risk bricking, and i dont want to have to go back to gb then upgrade, then reinstall my apps then setup my homescreens again as thats a real ballache.
I thought you fine people can maybe give me some advice.

wipe dalvik cache and change DPI setting to 320dpi.. see if you can get most of the apps running
I tried reboot, wipe dalvik, and battery pull for 10 minutes. Cant change the dpi as i have lost su access at the moment. I am teally stumped. Maybe can change dpi with adb but never used it before.
Could it be anything to do with space available in my system/app folder or anything like that...? I am wracking my brain to try and work it out

Just calm down bob okay?
The process below (thanks to Matius, works in changing DPI but you need to have root for this one)
Use a file explorer app with root privileges like Root Explorer and navigate to /system/buil.prop, long-press on it and choose open in text editor
Search for a line that reads:
ro.sf.lcd_density=320 (or 240 in your case)
Change that value back to 320, don't go too low or you might end up with a bootloop
John
Cheers!
Thanks for the replies, i cant change my dpi like that as i cannot get root explorer working as i cannot access my apps or install new apps. I am rooted and root explorer is installed on my phone, but there is a random problem which says that the apps are not installed including su and most of the others. Im gonna go and have a look via adb to edit my build prop and see if i can find anything else to help.
Meanwhile if anyone else has any experience with this or has any bright ideas please let me know.
Cheers

Get into download mode and flash notecore kernel to gain root access. then use any file explorer with root permissions to change dpi.
Hey guys, I have a problem with installing apps on my LG (market and non-market ones).
It basically says when I install them that I have INSUFFICIENT STORAGE AVAILABLE (error); with non-market apps the same and that I need to remove some apps.
I have 6.43GB of Internal Memory left, and 19.6GB of External Memory. It's very strange because I CAN download some apps (even bigger than the one that I can't), but other ones got that error.
Have any ideas? Maybe someone with the same problem?
p.s. I have no ROM installed; I rooted it 2 months ago..

cuz lucky patcher is the issue actually, patches that it had done.
when it patches the app, it creates patched .odex, which you need to manually delete when you update/reinstall the app. i had the same issue, but unfortunately i lost track of the thread with the fix. if i find it again, i'll post it.
edit:
try this: "Troubleshooting->Remove fixes and backups (to update app)" in lucky patcher.
i manually removed these .odexes, but this should work too. good luck.
edit2:
found the manual solution: http://kacnje.blogspot.com/2012/10/android-error-insufficient-free-space.html
sretno!
Just launch Lucky Patcher, the program will delete those files automatically. It works for me.

Just search for it in the General section, I bet you will find what you need.
Shouldn't missing .odex files be rebuilt automatically on reboot? At least that's what's happening after a factory reset (which, amongst others, also deletes al .odex files), and after a wipe of the Dalvik cache (which does exactly that: delete all .odex files).
Being stuck at boot, as you write, try this:
Boot into recovery
Select to "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Reboot
After the next boot, the entire Dalvik cache should be rebuilt. Of course this requires a custom recovery to be installed (stock recovery doesn't offer to "wipe dalvik cache"; here you had to do a factory-reset, which would also delete all your apps and data).
I used this method:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723&highlight=flash+kdz+files
so I updated my firmware and now have 4.1.2 JB and everything works fine :victory:
thanks for helping! :good::good:
I wish there were some such flashing tools available for the P880 on Linux. But as much as I've google'd around, I could not find anything. Anybody tried the toolkit available here on XDA for the P990? Can it be used for the P880 as well?
Okay. So the weirdest, yet most annoyingness (them fake words, though) thing keeps happening. It's a pet peeve of mines to not have all my apps up to date. LoL!! So these 2 apps keep giving me the Insufficient Storage Available error.
It started off with PPSSPP ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ppsspp.ppsspp ).
I can't update to the newest update. I have the previous one. I once ran Google Edition and it updated fine. I meant to make a backup and just restore it to be up to date. Grr!!
Then all of a sudden it started happening to The Hardest Game Ever 2 ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.orangenose.games ).
It's weird. I want them to update. LoL!! Yes, I have enough space. I mean all my other apps update.
I've wiped Dalvik Cache and Cache. I read over something once about deleting system logs? When these apps finishing updating I try wiping Market Data. Or maybe just wiping the Market cache. I don't feel. Maybe data. It wouldn't hurt anything.
And it's so weird. On my GS2, restarting usually fixed it, or the problem usually fixed itself. Hmm...
Anyone else ever run into this? What did you do to solve it or did it fix itself? This has been an ongoing problem. I know sometime before the GE phones came out. LoL!!
And as I type this a 3rd app has been added. Into The Dead. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sidheinteractive.sif.DR ).
I can't have that. That's my game. LoL!!
To not make OP too long, here's some things I've done so far...
Deleted PlayStore Cache and Data...
Checked to see if ROM Toolbox Pro had Apps2SD set to Auto (and it as already on Auto)...
Wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache in recovery...
Deleted the app and tried to reinstall (Had to recover the app. LoL!!)...
Made SURE I had enough space. (I took a 6GB backup off my phone. I KNOW I have at least 6GB off the bat)
It's a slow growing list of apps. Hmm...
The only thing left is to backup apps and reinstall the ROM, since it works on other ROMs. *sigh* That'll take forever. =.S
SOVLED
I have it fixed. Here's what I did. You NEED root to fix since you have to go to a system folder. I think you can do this without root if you use ADB commands. I don't know remember if the computer version of ADB can navigate to these folders. Anyways...
"Follow this and let me know if it works for you.
First step is go into a file explorer with root access. Second in the root directory click on data, once in the data folder click on app-lib folder. Last step is scroll down to the data folder for the app you are trying to update or install and delete it. Thrn go into the market and try to install"
http://www.techfreestyle.com/io
1st comment on the page.
Steps:
1) You will need root. Go into a file explorer and go to the root folder. (I used Root Explorer)
2) Open the directory named "data".
3) Open the directory named "app-lib"
4) Find ALL the folders of the app you're trying to update or install and delete them.
5) Reinstall or update the app and it should work
I don't know if this will delete the data of the app. I've already deleted the data manually from those apps, so I don't know. Do with caution.
also its just solve the app that u can't install , so its not solving the problem permanently.

You're right. It happened again. But this time these apps had data. The method I mentioned didn't delete the app data. So that's good.
But this means it can happen again. Its a bit tedious deleting them files. I wonder what's causing it. Hmm... Maybe these lib files are suppose to delete on their own, but they don't. =./
