I'm not even installing a game, just another app that takes a few mb's.
I go into storage and see I have 800mb left.
What's the problem?
it says: "_____ couldn't be installed. Free up some space and try again."
i have faced this problem, try to uninstall the app u install before this message

i'm actually having problem with only one app- vplayer.
can anyone help?
I can install other apps no problem. I'm trying to download vplayer from the play market, and it just wouldn't install. It says not sufficient storage, but I do have sufficient storage, and I can install other apps no problem.
I had vplayer previously, but uninstall it, is there anyplace I can clear the data? this is quite frustrating
You can try deleting the .odex file for that app under /data/app (I think you might need a root explorer)

if you are rooted, otherwise
open Terminal
Code:
su
cd /data
cd /app
ls
rm (packagename.odex)
ls will allow u to see the list of all the files in that folder and help u type the exact name with ease.
Just download lucky patcher it will automatically remove unused odex files

Root explorer is best for this. But adb will work as well.

Hi,
For some reason, my gallery app was causing my xoom to stay awake 100% of the time and I had no idea why...
So I just deleted it...
But now I need to use the gallery! I have tried a few links but none seem to work! If someone could attach it or a link or tell me how to get it back it would be of grat help.
Thanks!

This is why you never want to actually delete the file but instead rename. If you are using a ROM you can just reflash the ROM over it, otherwise, here's the gallery files I pulled, push these files to /system/app/
thanks a lot
Hey I had the same problem,,,did it work, deleting it? I saved it then deleted it and it still says my xooms battery is using 56 percent of my battery LOL when it is gone?

You could have extracted the apk from the rom or even used a third party app like quickpic.

It's the same permission as the others in the /system/app directory. It needs to be 744, rw-r--r--.

You check the appropriate boxes. There are 3 columns with 3 boxes each total 9. Check all in the left column & 1 St and 2 md in the middle column. Leave all others un checked. Reboot

So close, but not quite chmod 644 /system/app/*.apk
The apk's themselves don't execute. The dalvik cache executes But as far as Gallery not sleeping, maybe it is trying to sync Picassa or something.
yeah, you're right, it's 644, still not fully used to the permissions in linux -_-
Hi I AM getting error's that I can't install apps or update apps because there is insufficient space.
The only way I get any thing to install is to push them via root explorer and set the permissions accordingly, as you see from screen shot I have plenty of internal space as regards system space there is approx 200mbs free.
Anybody.know how to fix it.
Thanks for any help.

This happens when there's an odex file of the apk you're installing is still present in the system.
Do you use titanium backup? Sometimes there is an Odex file you need to delete

When ever I install app I 1st try install like normal app, then when this fails,I use root explorer to move the app and set permissions.
I have noticed the odex files is it safe to delete? or do I need to move odex file then after install move odex back?
Is there away to deodex without running into probs,I AM new to n7 but not to android.

I've heard that you have to delete the Odex file. I would copy it first just in case but I'd give it a try

Update it just seems to be gapps that are giving the issue I have deleted any gapp odex file from system and cleared any remaining files from data. Cleaned dalvik cache can now install apps from play store but not gapps

I do use TItanium backup, but I don't see why there would be an Odex file for an app that has never been installed. I found tons of Odex files when I searched with Root Explorer, but none that seemed relevent to the apk I'm trying to install.

Use a root browser like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer, and copy the .apk files into data/app
Reboot into recovery, and fix permissions
How do I fix permissions or is there an option to do that in clockwork mod?
Also, would it be possible to use mobileodin to do that instead

Putting it into data/app installs is, fixing permissions is just so it will show in the app drawer
Make sure you have Security => Unknown Apps checked and Verify Apps unchecked
Apps install fine for me by clicking an .apk
Use Root Explorer or ES File Manager, it's probably the MY Files preventing it.

Use Root Explorer or ES File Manager, to try and install with your original method, it's probably the MY Files preventing it.
