I've been having this issue for the past couple of weeks and I don't know how to resolve it. At first I thought it might have been my ROM so I wiped everything clean and flashed a new ROM but the problem still exists. I read on a forum that the cache partition could be full so I used Terminal Emulator to check the disk usage and I'm reading that my /cache is 98% full. I also have a dalvik cache in the cache folder as well as a dalvik cache in my /data folder both of which are close to 300mb in size. I tried to clear the cache and dalvik cache in recovery before resorting to the full wipe and each time both cache rebuilt themselves. I'm completely at a loss and I'd really appreciate some help with this issue. Thanks in advance.
So you're out of space? Perhaps you have several backups from CWM taking up all the room. They are pretty large files. I myself keep my stock backup and my most recent, the rest of them rest on my pc.

thats not the case here. i dug around a bit and saw that my cache and dalvik cache are 98% full. as stated earlier i tried deleting the dalvik cache but it regenerates itself. i looked around in titanium backup and saw an option to integrate some of the cache to the system. i enabled that and it moved around 150 items around and freed up some space. i'm still around 88% full and i know this problem is gonna rear it's ugly head very soon so I'm trying to install programs like link2sd and as2d+. none of these programs are working though...they all require partitioned sd cards (which i have) but none of these programs are seeing the partitioned card. i've tried repartitioning under recovery but that does absolutely nothing. anyway e4gt users can take advantage of these programs?
I had the same issue and it was driving me crazy. I just downloaded Cache Fixer and ran it and now I am good. Turns out my cache was 95% full, wiped it using that tool and I can now update and download.
I want to add that after it cleared, I could update but some of the other apps on the phone did no work (Google Music and Dolphin Browser to nae a few). I re-boot and the cache is back to pre clearing levels and no other issues. It does temporarily fix the isse bt I do not have a permanent fix.
If anyone has one, I would love to know what that may be.
i just want to say that I am having the same exact issue and performed the same steps the OP did. Only when I wipe the cache with cache fixer it everything forces closes so i can't update anything. So i am really stuck.
The only success that I have temporarily is uninstalling the app then resinstalling it. But thats not a permanent solution and sucks for apps like beautiful widgets.
PLEASE HELP
EDIT: on calkulins 3.0 rom and self updated google play

Hey guys, I'm starting have some problems when installing applications on my mt3gs.
First I thought it was the apps, because only like 2 apps wouldn't install, but now NO apps will install.. I keep on getting the error, "Package file is invalid.". I have no idea what it means, I was hoping I could get some help..
Here's some details,
I'm using the "SLIDE MR1.v4 With Eclair" rom.
I've had it for a few months, haven't had any problems with it.
Then about 2 or 3 days before the 14th of august, I set up my sd card and phone for Apps2SD, it worked.
I don't know if the rom is the issue, or the app2sd is the issue, but I'm just looking for some help.
If you need anymore information about the phone, just ask I'll glady provide you guys with it. I REALLY need the help, because as of now; I'm unable to install any applications.
Got It...
What I did to fix this was...
Clear Market Cache (Settings->Applications->All->Market->Clear Cache)
Clear System Cache
Clear Dalvik Cache
The step that did it for me was clearing dalvik cache. Just posted this so it was up for anyone who needed to find it (one of the first pages on google). Couldn't find the proper solution anywhere else.
P.S. Your phone has to be rooted to do the last two steps. (Google "Android Clear Dalvik Cache")
P.S.S Your phone will take a while to reboot after clearing the Dalvik Cache. That's normal.
So, my GVoice app stopped working about a week ago. It would just crash on load. I went to clear the cache for it, and it was at 1.17GB. It wouldn't clear, I couldn't delete it with temproot. I renamed the folder, and that fixed it. The data is still there though.
The next day I went into my app management, and my browser, facebook, and a couple other apps have around 500-800MB. Again, I hit clear data/clear cache, it doesn't give me an error, but it also doesn't clear it.
Any idea whats going on? This happening to anyone else? I have run the cache cleaner from recovery as well. I just updated tot he new OTA, problem is still there. Everything seems to run fine though.
Sounds like something you did in one of your applications or in the settings is "Protecting" the cache. My best suggestion when all else fails is backup using titanium backup and then do a restore to factory settings and data in both bootloader and in recovery. Backup the sd card and wipe it as well, then just put personal data back to your sd card and restore with titanium, and all problems should be resolved
I'm basically trying to move to the dalvik cache to my sd card for space reasons. I'm trying to format my sdcard for use with link2sd and other programs like it but I'm unable to do so in cwm. whenever i choose partition sdcard, it gives me the dialog like it does it correctly but nothing actually happens. I tried to partition the card on my pc but none of the link2sd programs recognize it. its as if the only thing those programs recognize is the internal storage and to my knowledge I can't do anything with that. if i can do it manually and avoid using the programs that'd be awesome. can anyone point me in the right direction?
...I'm kind at a loss for why you would want a virtual machine cache on an sd-card and not emmc. Perhaps I am 'not getting it'...care to explain?
i've had this problem for a couple of weeks now...downloads from the market over a certain size just won't go through. "insufficient space" "invalid package file" errors like those would pop up. i went to term. emulator and to check the mount sizes and my dalvik cache was 98% full. in titanium backup i saw an option to "integrate sys dalvik into ROM". i enabled that and it moved over 150 items from the dalvik to someplace in the system. that cleared up some space and now i'm only using 82% of the dalvik and i'm able to download and update from the market like normal. i know this problem is gonna come back and i'm trying to avoid it by moving the dalvik to the sd card where the space is plentiful.

I've never encountered this problem...I flash like crazy...I also migrate over all of my apps via TB...so...I have like 4 or 5 phones worth of apps following me around from rom to rom.....I don't have many big apps, so, of course YMMV--and likely will--but....perhaps this isn't, in fact, the actual problem but a symptom of another problem.
Have you had this issue with multiple roms? When was the last time you did a full wipe? On every phone I have either the stock rom or my favorite rom that I always go back to, no matter what, more than any other rom.....via nandroid....and I have never encountered this problem....any other customizations we should know about?
I've never had this issue before. I'm on the latest Calkulin ROM since I've switched from my HD2. This is the first time I've had this error pop up and I resolved it by moving some things around in the dalvik and freeing up some space. As stated earlier TB moved around 150 items and afterwards I was instantly able to download/update from the market. I don't really customize my phone other than the random theming here and there. I've switched ROMs back and forth to see if it was in fact the ROM and not something I did but the issue came back as soon as I restored my backed up apps via TB. I'm guessing the cache filled up with the data from the apps that are backed up with TB.
Here's one solution/quick fix: manually delete your dalvik cache with a file manager and then just flash an odexed Rom: Then your space issues would be solved, and there's not the issue of Dalvik taking up any room in the first place.

...and I have always preferred odex'd roms. makes sense.
so there's no way of installing the programs mentioned in the first post?
CM supports init scripts, right? Download Calkulin's ROM from the Dev section, extract it and check system/etc/init.d for a dalvik2cache (going by memory here, might not be the exact name) script. Might be able to use that.

I'm starting to get an "Out of space" message when installing apps. It happened a couple of times from Market, and now its happening when I side load apps. From all indications I have plenty of space (11 GB free). I've cleaned cache, force stopped Market and Google Frameworks clearing their cache, rebooted into recovery and wiped cache, wiped dalvic, and fixed permissions. Its getting to the point that Market updates are hit and miss as to whether they will install. Is this a RAM issue? What can I do next? Running JR6 w/ Franco #264. Thanks.

Check if you have a .odex file in /data/data (from Titanium Backup)
if you do, delete it. That caused some issues for me.

Thanks for the suggestion. I do use TiBu but seaching with Root Explorer, I did not have any odex files in that folder. I do have less than 20 odex files total, most located in the /data/app/ folder, ranging in size from a few kB up to 3 MB. Are they safe to delete? Not even sure if I go back to an earlier nandroid, I may still end up with the same problem. Its not crippling at the moment, so I'll hang on for a while to see if there are any other ideas I can try before wiping and reloading.
EDIT:
OK, one of the odex files in the /data/app folder was from the program I could not install. I deleted it, and was then able to install the program. WTH? I tested deleting one of the other odex files (to see if I could just delete them all) and the program would just FC immediately. I guess the only odex files that are safe to delete are of apps you no longer use. Not sure why the odex file kept me from installing the program, but at least it is fixed. Thanks to Lesicnik1 for putting me on the right track. Cheers.
So I apologize if Im posting in the wrong spot but I noticed yall are still working on the F6...so I figured this made sense...
I thought I knew exactly what I wasdoing but did not....I was lucky enough to find patience enough to read up before flashing...I see the threads posted on how to root, backup, and restore this phone...but all those threads explain it using so0ftware other than I have... Since I made some moves before truly knowing what I was doing...I'd like to just stick wiith what i got for the moment and see if yall, as the experts can guide me down the runway...
Heres What I have so far:
1. I DO have root access
2. I DO have SuperSU and it seems to be working in the sense that it keeps logs...but sometimes it gives me a binary error. (I have NOT et converted SuperSU into a system app...bc im unclear if its necessary after reading a few different threads)
3. I DO have Root Browser' which I use to shuffle things around. (I DO have the /system and /data folders relocated on my external SD)
4. I DO have Titanium Backup which I used to BU my USER APPS/SYSTEM DATA.
5. I DO have Flashify which I also used to BU my STOCK RECOVERY/KERNEL (I cant seem to figure out where that recovery is being default stored though...Ive been searching high and low.
NOTE: Although im happy I have made it this far...I dont wanna go any further until I know exactly what im doing. I fear that I have missed something small. Something that would be a no brainer to you experts.
I'm unclear of storage requirements...I BELIEVE that I must store all my rooted tools on the external bc the goal is to wipe everything NOT on ext SD.
What I THINK I know is that hypothetically since im backed up...or when im 100% certain everything is....I can just click REBOOT TO RECOVERY MODE under the menu using Titanium.
IF I happen to be correct up to that point....I think my next move is using Titanium to put back the things ive stored on my SD.
In my mind that leaves me with the same ROM...but without the fluff...and now the ability to save to ext SD.....
If I underestand right....currently there are no MOD upgrades available due to difficulty of unlocking the bootlag....or something that sounds likethat...
I have ZERO experience with any of this....I hope what I just shared is at least in the ballpark of the right direction..
THANK YOU for any and all help!

On a mission to take my LGF6 and make a man outta it!
firstly go into recovery (cwm or twrp) and go to "back up" and make a back up. second go to wipe and wipe cache then wipe dalvic cache (if your using cmw you will have to go to advanced on the home screen to wipe dalvic cache)
third go back to wipe and wipe system, after that wipe the cache and dalvic cache just like before
And for the final stage go to install, find the rom you want (will be a zip file) and then flash it, when done wipe cache and dalvic cache one more time then reboot
And bam you should have you new custom rom (you dont have to keep wiping the cache and dalvic cache but its recomended)
