My internet cache won't clear out, its showing 1.36 TERABYTES! It seems to be causing problems with flashing things on Safestrap recovery because I'm getting an E: I/O error. Pressing on the clear cache tab in the application manager does nothing. Is there anything else I can do to clear that cache? Thanks in advance for any help.

Try clearing the cache in Titanium Backup
If that doesn't do it I think there is a bigger problem at hand.

Well, clearing the cache in Titanium didn't work but it lead me in the right direction. I backed up the apk, deleted it through Titanium then re-installed and set permissions.

Yea that cache size was...impressive Glad you got it sorted!
Quick question. Where was this 1.3 terabyte cache being stored at on your 32 gigabyte phone?

Unfortunately after trying the fix I mentioned the problem is still there, and that 1.36 TB is supposedly on the internal storage. I'm waiting for the S5 ported ROM to get updated before I do a full wipe and start over.
Yeah, a full wipe is the only next choice. Good luck.

There is a full set of Odin files available in the general section . Flash those. Clears out everything. And you can re- root afterwards. It totally cleared up a bunch of memory and battery drain issues I had, with a full wipe.

Sorry man that's no good...maybe if you don't want to do a full wipe yet try doing the same uninstall/reinstall process then convert and freeze it?

So I did a fresh install of v1.0.5 and everything is great except when I try to download large games from the market it says I have insufficient space, but I have over 3gbs left. Not sure why this is happening. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks

Apps are saved to the System Memory, not Phone Memory.
Anyways, just reboot into Recovery and wipe cache.
Ok so I cleared the cache and it has worked so far. Thanks for the help.
Edit* only worked for one game

I have over 650mb left in system memory and its says I have insufficient space whenever I try to download any game around 40mb. I cleared the cache and it worked for one game. Not sure what else to try.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
It's because the Market downloads apps to the cache partition before installing them. Our cache partition is fifty something megabytes with just over 40 MB free usually.
That makes sense. Thanks for the help. Is there a quick way to clear the cache?

That's strange, I only have 449 MB in System Memory and I can download games around/over 40MB. The only thing I could suggest would be to wipe the cache again. Are you on stock, btw?

The easiest (and only) way I know of is going into recovery.
I'm running thriller 1.0.5 rom. It let me download a game after I left work but now it says I have insufficient space again when I try to download another. I even did a second wipe and fresh install of rom this morning. Maybe it just takes a little before the cache clears.

Didn't I already explain what's going on? And it has nothing to do with my ROM. The same behavior is exhibited on the stock ROM. I will hack the Market to remove the app size limit soon.
The rom is awesome so far. Sorry for being a noob this is my first android. I appreciate the explanation and the work you put into the rom.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
Ok, I have found a temporary solution. I'm on a different Rom, but it should work for Thriller too.
1. Boot into CWM
2. Wipe Data/Cache
3. (Re)Install Thriller. (Not sure if needed, but I did it just to be on the safe side)
4. Download and install an app called Freespace.
5. Run Freespace.
6. Look at the Cache category and you should see this:
Size: 61MB
Used: 7MB
Free: 54MB
7. Now download the app you want that is over 40MB (note: your limit is 54MB).
8. The app will install and play fine (no FC like I was getting).
9. Go back to the Freespace app and click Cache. You will see that your Free cache is almost depleted and your Used is almost full.
9. Reboot your phone.
10. Your cache stats should have reset to how they originally were (check using the Freespace app).
11. Download the next app/game over 40MB and it will install fine.
Repeat this every time you want to install an app over 40MB.
On some apps I get error downloading This is insufficient space on the device. There is plenty of space. I have rebooted. Wiped both caches and market cache and rebooted. Still the same thing. Anyone else have any ideas on how to clear this error?

According to Titanium back i have 797 MB free on system rom
890 MB free on internal
9.99 GB free on SD card
9.02 GB free on ext. SD card
I have moved some of the bigger games to the SD card.
I am mightily confused.
I've heard that partition issues may cause this. Also, check permissions, as they may cause a similar effect.

It's not the system that you need to check, it is data and cache partitions. When you download an app it is downloaded into the cache partition then installed in the data partition. Even updates.

What do I need to clean up where then please? I delete the cache and Dalvik in recovery, but that hasn't helped.
I see /cache, /data, but what can be cleared out.
/cache/dalvik-cache is full of dex files.
/data/dalvik-cache/ is full of dex files as well.

Simple question and you've probably checked -
But under storage what shows as used / free?

Seems you've a s**tload of stuff on the internal SD ....
Possibly move some of the pics/movies/music to the External SD and see if you get the same issue...
Given that the OS will need at least some space to run 212Mb seems awfully low for your internal SD..
Just for reference - I've got
Internal Storage: 1.97Gb
Free: 1.38Gb
USB Storage:
- Total: 11.08GBl
- Free: 9.6GB
And my External card is more or less empty since last nights return to 'Virgin' system...
So that is:
SD Card:
- Total: 7.28GB
- Free: 5.76GB
Just a thought....

No don't even try it.
You're wasting your time. I had the same issue.
I deleted some apps, transferred them to sdcard, tried airplane-cold-reboot, wiped all caches, restored fixes, reflashed kernel... everything failed.
If you're in the same position as I was, then backup whatever you can.
Do a factory reset from the Settings (so everything in internal memory gets wiped).
Then wipe all cache, re-flash your rom, then kernel, fix permissions... and reboot.
Restore all your stuff, and it will magically be fixed !
(its because of accumulating bad partitions in your internal sdcard, combined with kernel misunderstandings, it makes it impervious to re-write in some sectors)

Hi guys! I'm planning on installing a new ROM which I think would require wiping cache and restoring to factory settings. My question is would it also erase the data on my nexus 7 like videos, songs, Android day files for games etc?
Sorry stupid question but I was used to my phone which has external sd which makes sure all those files are kept even after doing factory reset.
Thanks you!

I'm not sure how CWM handles such things, but in TWRP, there is an option to FORMAT DATA... which wipes everything on the emulated SD Card... including the ROM .zip you're about to flash!.
So if you avoid that option and just SWIPE TO FACTORY RESET you should be okay.
Still, having said that, it's better to be safe than sorry... so I would recommend performing a Nandroid backup first - and Titanium backups of your most important apps.
Rgrds,
Ged.
It's always good to have backups anyways. If you have any files on your Nexus just transfer them to your computer (or cloud storage).

Yep... that's pretty much it.
This, from a TWRP message output whilst performing a FACTORY RESET...
...wiping data without wiping /data/media...
If that weren't the case, and if it deleted all your user content, your Nandroid backups and the ROM .zip you intend to flash would be gone as well. So all that stuff (pics, videos, music etc.) is preserved.
Your user installed apps (from Playstore) will be lost though... so make a backup of them with Titanium.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Hello,
I did a bit of searching and could not find an answer if it is safe to also include wiping internal when doing the advanced wipe before I flash a ROM (in my case a TW Rom to the same but updated version of a TW Rom). Since ROMs i've had interest in instructs only to wipe Data Cache Dalvik System x 3. Just wanted to make sure and perhaps find an answer as to why you would not want to do this. I apologize if there is a thread or answer for this already. Thank your time and expertise.

That stuff is stored under the phone data I would assume. This is the internal "SD card" you can store personal stuff and 3rd party apps on.
Should be no harm in wiping it other than it is 100% not needed and just erases your non phone data for no reason.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
Caution. Many people are reporting problems writing downloaded files after wiping internal. That requires the extra step of fixing permissions in TWRP. Wiping internal memory is typically unneeded.
