That app is not compatible. You need a much faster cpu and ram for it to work.
Why that particular error? Who knows? Ask Google. But it will not work on your G1 so just give it up.
It depends on the internal storage indicator, I have 1gb of apps2sd but if your internal storage is like 20mb it doesn't matter wether you have 2 or 20gb it has to do with the internal storage because your g1 doesn't care much for apps2sd indicator.
If I install too many apps and my apps2sd partition goes from 1gb to 527mb and my internal storage goes from 87.43mb to 32.45mb and I then try to install iron sight wich is like 20mb you would think it works but it will say no room available so install the big boy apps first and small penis apps second.

You could free some space by removing seldom used extra apps, pictures, music, ROMs and nandroid backups. The last three can eat up a lot of memory. Save these to your PC and if you need them later you can move them back.
Moving things isn't a problem.
What I want to know is why I can't install apps even with around 1 gb free!!
Try formatting cache. Or just manually wipe the cache from some of your apps. Should install then

[Q] The slimmest ROM for x8?

Hi There,
After installing a v4.1.2 ROM on my old X8 and finding out I can't even install Whatsapp on it due to lack of space (31MB free), I'm looking for the slimmest ROM available.
I don't even care if it's a v2.3 ROM. As long as there's enough space to install whatsapp.
Thanks in advance.

You can install it but you need to free enough space. It may requires up to x2 space available, which means 62 mb.
Dear Stamatis,
I didn't install ANYTHING on the phone after installing the custom ROM.
I can't increase the free space to move than 31MB. That's the problem.

I found a workaround.
whatsapp grow beyond what you can download and install from google play in a X8, so In order to install or upgrade, you need to download the official apk from whatsapp com /android/ to the SD card, then, uninstall whatsapp if you have it outdated, install the apk, then move it to the SD, only 9mb will remain used from the phone memory
( I started with 31, the same as you, after cleaning I got 33mb, then after instilling whatsapp, I don't now why, I have 36mb free )
hope it helps anyone searching in Google like me.
Have you connect your phone with google account? If so, that will update google play service which is about 150 MB so far. So you need app that is called Link2SD which you can use to move google play service to your SD card and free up space on your phone (internal storage). This might be possible with native App2SD option but I never tried it.
Good luck
