Is it possible that you could give us a bit more information here...? What do you have installed, how much memory do you have left, and what are you trying to install?

I have need for speed installed and that's about it! I've 12 gb left and I was trying to install a apk for amazon market. I thought it was the apk that was faulty, so I downloaded a random app on the internet and it says that I need to delete stuff..
They don't install into your sd card, they install on your internal memory that's only about 5GB. Go to application settings and see if you can movie them to SD card.

dunno if they've changed it but normally theres a 2gb partition for apps and 12gb for storage. check if your 2gb partition is full. google recently changed things so that there is no longer a file size limit on what can be installed into the 2gb partition. so if one of the apps you've installed is particularly naughty, it couldve dumped a lot of data into the 2gb partition.
normally i find that shutting down and booting devices up again fixes the issue.

2 words. Incompatible App.
Maybe Amazon Market compatible. Try any other app. See if it installs

I would suggest if you can, install Quick System Pro, and check your system storage total and free..

Are they all from play store or another vendor/site? If latter, you need to allow third party apps in settings>Dev options

Well... When you make a nand, backup the SD ext for that Rom. You can't keep apps when switching from sense to reloaded since, obviously, sense stuff wont work with aosp. Also, before restoring, wipe SD ext and all that stuff. Not sure if it does anything, but i always do that before banding back to a rom

What i do is,when i install a new rom,i set everything up,no tweaks and themes yet,just the settings and gmail,crap like that,i update my apps and then i nandroid everything,i even do compression,takes up less space,then i start adding tweaks,one by one,then i nand again and delete the old one,i do this procedure,until i have my rom where i want it.
When you do a nand leave the top three or whatever checked, check SD ext., and uncheck android secure. The next time you restore that nand it will be as you left it before you flash.

Backup everything except cache if you want to restore to exactly the same thing you have when you run the backup

If you don't back up .android make sure you have moved all apps to the phone or those apps won't work on restore. I have been told you don't need to wipe before a restore but I always do.

Well i'm not sure who told you that,but if you dont wipe before a restore,theres a possibilties of having issues from the other rom.I recommend a full wipe before anything but mods,updates or Gapps.
I have heard before that the wiping scripts are built into the restore process, though I don't know how true that is. I have never wiped before a restore and have never had the slightest problem no matter what rom I'm going to or from.

I always wipe caches and temp files on a restore. Better safe than sorry, right?

[Q] HELP- Nexus 4 Storage Capacity

I have a 16gb nexus 4. I rooted my phone a few weeks ago and decided to DL flash cm 10.1 to my phone yesterday. But, it got stuck in a boot loop and I restored to the android backup I had.
The problem is, now my storage says only 435 mb free, but I had around 6gb free before. I have no idea what caused this or how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh I misunderstood you, it is showing that you have 16gb its just that a lot of it is missing.
I would try deleting unneeded nandroids, especially if they are CWM as they don't get saved somewhere you can use a simple file manager to get to I don't think.
Also try clearing cache and davlik cache, if this doesn't work, I think you'll have to back up apps and factory reset through recovery.

But the nandroids are only 7.38 mbs. I don't think they are the cause of the problem. I was researching the problem online and I think it might be the lost.dir folder, but I can't find it.

Thank you so much.
I found it, deleted it, and got my space back.
But that leads me to another question. If I don't have a backup on my phone, how will I restore? Because yesterday, I was in a boot loop, and the ADB connection wouldn't work. The only reason I could restore was because I had the nandroid back up on my phone already.

If you were in a bootloop, get into recovery and choose sideload. Then you can push a rom file and flash it. Or you could just not remove the recovery. TWRP nandroid take less space.
I see. I just used CWM because I read that they were better. I'm still new at all of this. Thank you. You've been very helpful.

[Q] TWRP says back up is...

So i just went in to back up my rom but it says that my data backup will be 1,009,312mb Why is it so huge (thats what she said)??.. ive tried searching but i havent found any solution.. can someone please help!
Much appreciated:good:
GS4 TW backups are massive. That's the correct size, they could even be bigger lol.

Well, technically that is EASILY going to be the incorrect size unless you meant to type Kb and not Mb. If so, yes, that would be correct.

No 1 Gigabyte is a typical backup size. If you start loading up with apps it can get much bigger.

I had this same thing happen to me over the weekend. I think what worked for me is doing a factory reset through twrp, then rebooted twrp to get the partition sizes to sync. I had all my data backed up to my sd card so I was able to restore the apps. I also did a full system wipe and flashed a Rom I had on my SD card. I hope one of those two things work. Let me know if it does.

[Q] [Help] A different nexus 4 bootloop problem

So I got my nexus 4 less then a week ago. Then I tried not rooting it but I just couldnt resist, and than I got into a whole lot of trouble.
Basically I tried unlocking the bootloader without loosing data, this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41291371&postcount=28
And now Im in a bootloop, my bootloader is functional and unlocked, my recovery works but when I got into "install zip from sd card" it says that sd card cant be mounted, Ive tried cwm and teamWin and both have the same problem. Ive tried everything that came to mind:
-locking bootloader (fastboot works fine)
-changing a rom via ADB sideload (witch also works fine)
-changing recovery
-factory data reset and so on.
none of this works, storage is still not accessible and Im still in a bootloop (bootloop happens on a rom boot after the google logo). So Im suspecting that its bootlooping because it cant access sd card (It can access the system data)
Any suggestions? Ive never seen this happen, I cant seem to find anybody with a similar problem. Did I just ruin my 6 day old device?
Im scared as hell and pretty much out of mind.
Try to wipe data and cache.
Also try this if the above doesn't work.
