market 3.4.4 on update: first error 492, now crash system - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

Hi,
I'm running Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1 with great satisfaction since a couple of month but recently I got the following problem with the market.
I had updates for standard apps like fb, opera and a couple more ready to download but upon trying to download the market was saying it could not do it and was putting out "error 492".
Although for other phones, I found posts that suggested to wipe phone's cache form the boot menu and I tried that. Now the situation is changed:
the download does occur, but upon trying to install the whole system crashes and reboots..
It might be worth noting that I'm running S2E on an EXT4 partition appearently without problems.
thanks for your help
davide

Hi, it looks like I'm the only one with this problem..
anyhow the problem got worse and it's indeed related to S2E, now it seems unable to see the ext4 partition and can't access any app outside the core ones including S2E itself. the partition is still there though from the mac I can't see its' content and I don't have a windows pc at hand right now to look into it.
please suggest me how to proceed.
thank you
davide

did I break some rule of this forum?
I haven't seen many other posts with specific problem going unreplied...

Had this few months ago just stop using s2e reflash should help

Make the Market download apks to SD Card

Hello everyone.
I've recently switched to the Data++ Hboot with 10MB cache. Ever since then I haven't been able to download large apps from the Market.
I was wondering how to make the Market save the APK's on the SD Card instead of the cache partition. If I remember correctly this has been implemented in a number of ROMs, including the Oxygen ROM to name one. Where would I change that?
Sorry for deviating from the topic, but I have this strong urge to ask you this: How did you get 10MB cache with Data++? According to alpharev.nl, Data++ gives 5MB cache....
On a side note, I also have 10MB cache but my apps are installing fine (with a little help from A2SD).....how big are the apps you're trying to download? Maybe I haven't come across "big" ones yet...

Oh I see they've updated their website. I'm using an older version of Data++ (System 180M, Cache 10M, Data 261M). I still have the img plus a screenshot of the website to compare MD5, if you're interested.
Well, it was just a guess. Downloads to Angry Birds (both versions) and Rocket Bunnies are not working, to name a few. Since they're all over 10MB I assumed it was due to the smaller cache partition. I'm also using A2SD btw.
Hmmm,they are not too big then (was expecting 20+MB).....I just downloaded those two apps couple of hours ago on my one and it's running fine even though I've only got 10MB cache.
Normally you'd need a file manager (like the one with Titanium backup or root explorer) to do the job of moving .apk files to SD..these are normally stored in /data/app inside the internal memory and requires root access to get them...but the files must be downloaded in the first place.
Is your system up-to-date? I too had similar problems until I did a complete flash-over and updated everything.... unfortunately I didn't work out the cause of it

Oh I see, I was under the impression the apks get saved on the cache partition. In that case, I should look for the problem elsewhere. Yes, I'm running the latest Sense ROM (2.29 with the 5 ending), but modified to suit my needs. I guess it could be related to that.
More info about the 'non-downloading'. When I click on install in the Market, the download icon appears quickly in the notification bar and then quickly disappears. Was this the same problem you were having?
In short....yes...that was the main sympton I had....the download icon disappears quickly....and it only happened to some of the apps
Have you tried rebooting the phone?...

Yes, tried that. Also tried clearing the dalvik cache and cache but with no success. I have found this while looking for a solution on Google. Seems someone else is having the exact same problem.

Hmm, yea. The thing that's really frustrating is I still don't know what the problem was in my case..if I did I could've been a little bit more helpful. In my "rage" I just flashed a new kernel and a new ROM and that sorted out the problem for me....didn't stop to wonder what was actually causing it.
EDIT: I think changing the kernel, especially, did it for me...
Hmm…
I have the same problem (except my /cache is 3MB so I can't download files larger than that).
Funny though, it used to work just fine (I have Angry Birds and flash for example), it has only recently started to act up.
If anyone finds a solution (possibly without flashing), I'll be quite grateful
P.S.
When my download fails (downloading icon simply disappears), my logcat shows DownloadManager reporting that there is not enough space (with about 60MB on /data) and then Vending complains about the file not being found (because DownloadManager didn't download it).
Seems like a bug in DownloadManager to me. It probably doesn't look up the cache (mine is in /data/cache IIRC) but uses the free space on /cache to determine if there is enough to fit the .apk.
I'm now working on same think. Need to Market downloading apps to SD card instead of /cache. So is there any tweak for this?
Yep.
Requires a little bit of knowledge about how linux handles mount points.
Basically, the easiest way is to bind mount a folder on the sdcard/data to /cache.
I get this .. I just clear the market cache ... go back into the market , all fine .
I normally have to " download " stuff 3 times , before it installs.

[Q]CM7 apps Force Close

I have used CM7 on my Incredible for a while now and have had to constantly wipe and reinstall every week or so. When i install, the ROM runs perfectly, with all my apps working and everything. After a few days though, most of my apps force close whenever I open them. Namely, messaging, Gmail, and browser force close, along with my market installed apps.
This has happened to me many times now and I can't figure out how to fix this issue. I have changed different options when installing the ROM and tried Fix Permissions in Rom Manager and nothing fixes it .
My friend's phone as well as my dad's have had this same issue on CM7 as well. Any help would be greatly aprreciated!

Any ideas?
Check and make sure your data/data partition isn't full. If it is, grab a cache cleaner from the market to free up some space.
This actually happened to me earlier tonight.
Had to reinstall to get through the night til I got back home, but I may need to go back to another ROM if this keeps up. Glad to know I'm not the only one though.

That's true, didn't think about that. Will I have to keep doing that more and more if i install more apps though?
This happens to me and all my friends phones with the cm7 final. They keep telling me its user error. We all have to clean wipe about once a week because of force closes. I finally switched it redemption rom

If what Smabbage said is true then hopefully that'd make sense. That way when you consistently install the nightlies, there is no way for the data partition to fill up all the way. Good to know. thanks!
I've been fighting this exact same problem. The only way I can keep it from happening is to do a full wipe and let the Android Market reinstall most of the apps. Then I can use titanium to bring back the missing apps and system settings.
Here's the things I've tried, with no success:
Wipe Cache / Wipe Dalvik Cache
Fix Permissions
Nandroid Backup then Restore (ok so I didn't expect that to do much)
Uninstalling apps, moving apps to SD (using the Android method, not Apps2SD)
Another interesting thing is that I run Watchdog, but instead of force closing, it pops up a message saying "Disk IO Error in Watchdog". That makes me wonder if some partition (Cache, data, I dunno) is out of space or worse, there are physical problems with the internal memory of my Incredible.
I have one question for everyone - How do I see how much space is available on each partition? I mean, I can go to the Android settings and see App Data storage left or SD card space left, but is there an app or tool I can see that will show me each partition with space left?

Had exactly same issue (even same Watchdog error) and Smabbage's answer was spot-on.
To check, open terminal emulator (gives you shell prompt) and do "df -k" - this will list all filesystems and, among other info, how full they are. My "/data/data" partition was full. Cleaned up some cache's and my phone is back in action.
Seems like a lot of games (and Netflix) fill the /data/data partition. Wonder if it is possible to make it larger at the expense of built in memory?
In any case, may be a good add-on to CM to monitor space in /data/data and give a reasonable warning when you close to running out.
I have been using CM7 for a while now and the apps that force close, are usually tied to the SD card. Try moving them to internal and see if it helps.
same here..
I use galnet miui (cm base)
after a few weeks, it shows 'disk io eror in watchdog'
and many programs fc.
never had this problem before.
someone can help me?
how can I fix this..
I know this is an old thread, but ive been searching around to see if other people have this problem.
i have found a temporary solution. open Root Explorer and go to /cache/dalvik-cache....use multi-select to select all items and then delete. reboot (IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO REBOOT, IT IS REBUILDING, IT CAN TAKE UP TO 15MIN DONT PANIC) yes, this is in fact "wiping dalvik-cache" but ive gotten much better results doing it manually than through CWM.
this will calm your phone down at least for a few days with no force closes/service interruption, but you will have to do it again..........and again, and again. its better than having to do a full wipe though, obviously. hope this helps anyone who is still having this problem.

[Q] Market - not enough space error; can't find fix

I know the answer to this is in the forums somewhere, but it won't let me search, keeps giving me an error, and I'm not finding any working solutions with google.
I keep getting the "can't install app, not enough space" error in the market.
I tried clearing market data/cache; clearing google services framework data; and un-mounting SD cards. I saw that there was an app that fixes the problem, and found it very ironic!
Error started about a week or so ago, was hoping it would go away with an updated nightly.
Currently running
CM7 - 107
Chads beta - 11
Mkt vers. - 2.3.6
Thanks for your help!
Not sure if this will help- but this happened to me 2 days ago. I was trying to install a WiFi tether program, and it wouldn't install and gave me that error.
Apparently the problem was that the new program conflicted with a previous WiFi tether program I already had installed. Instead of saying 'bad permissions' or 'file writing error' it said there wasn't enough space.
So there's a possibility that it's a problem with permissions OR it's just trying to install a file to a location that is already in use.
I got it to work by simply uninstalling the other WiFi tether program. Of course if *all* app's won't install for you, I really wouldn't know the first place to look.
I don't have an easy fix, but good luck.
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually had a little success a few minutes ago installing the app over the air using my laptop. Not a fix, but a decent work-around I guess

how much user space do you have left of the 740 meg
One way around this problem is to initiate the install from web version of the market. Even if you are just updating an app you already downloaded find it on the market website and click install. For whatever reason, it won't give you the error.

I've read somewhere that there's a partition of space (150meg) for data files, and if it's full then it'll give that error for new installs.
They really need to get more specific errors because it seems like this 1 error can apply for several very different reasons.
I got an easy fix for this !!!!!!!
Simply go to the market, search cache fixer. !! That work! The market fixer dont work at my mobile, but Cache fixer did ! Så now i can download all sizes of games and apps

[Q] Insufficient storage available

Just bought GN for a few days... restored apps from my Atrix to GN with Mybackup...
When updating apps in Market, most updated but Friendcast... error "Insufficient storage available"...(but there is still 12Gb memory)
then, I deleted some big apps as well as the Friendcast... tried to install Friendcast again but failed with same reason... (also failed to install Flash and some other apps in Market with same error)
But there is no problem to import files with USB or AirDroid...
Pls help and advise how to fix it. (before I reset the device as my least priority)
Thousand thanks.

Haven't really heard of this before but off the top of my head, my first guess would be perhaps the applications (in their manifest file the app author made) are set to auto install to the /sdcard instead of to the device internal memory? If so, and your "sdcard" allocated memory is full, this could trigger the insufficient space error message.
Check out my first suggestion as that is the only suggestion which comes to mind. If that doesn't help, post back and I guess we'll see what other options there might.
I'm sure somebody else will probably have a few good suggestions also which might help!
Thanks joeykrim.
u are right... since it is able to update paradise island (2Xmb), but some smaller apps doesn't.... like Friendcast, winamp...
But i have no idea what to do at this moment... sigh....
... just notified 1X apps need to update in Market...
after updated, 4 left with same error msg...
ie, Google map, Multi Touch Tester, QuickPic and LINE....
then, i tried to update again and updated LINE, ie, rest 3 left....
then, i tried again and again... still these 3 left...
:~~~~~~~~~~~
response from Samsung:
"Thanks for enquiry. According to the symptom, we suggest your side to check with the apps provider for further assistance."
I have reported to those apps proivders... hope there will be response and fix ASAP...
Merry X'mas!!
.. after all... i reset my device last night...
after switched on again... setup with connecting wifi... market restored all my apps automatically and no problem found. thanks god!

Looks like you took the hard way
I had the same problem a couple of times. The easiest way to solve it is to run Lucky Patcher and you'll see a toast notification that unused data/odex has been removed. That should solve the problem.

*SOLVED*[Market crashing constantly]-The app Market(process com.android.vending)

I just installed cyanogen mod 7.2 stable(It's a clean install and i have wiped every thing) following that installed the latest gapps package(gapps-gb-20110828-signed).
The market would not even load and crash constantly.
I have tried these tips:
1.Cleared data and cache (settings-> applications-> market -> Then clearing cache)
2.Wiped Dalvik cache
3.Fixed permissions.
4.Changed "language"
5.Re-installed gapps package.
All this was to no avail.
Downloaded "jelly bean" market and installed it.
Now the market would load ok but it crashes when i try to download some application.It sucks.
Any suggestion ?
Try Increase your MTD Partition if you have any... It should fix it... If not, delete your account from the settings (Accounts) and log on while opening PlayStore. Hope it helps.
Have you flashed the right Gapps? Some of the latest ones are for ICS Users and i have found they dont work.
Just google "Gapps" and then find the one without ICS
Hope this helps

Deleting the account and factory reset is not working....even installing the CM 7.2 again and again is not working.
What does it have to do with MTD partition ?I have got sufficient internal memoery as i told you that it's a clean install and I don't have any app installed on my device except custom CM apps.
What about going to Setting > Manage applications > Market > Force close
I know you may have tried it and seems silly but i had a problem updating my apps and i did this and everything seems to work. What about a reboot?
Edit: I found this temporary workaround so see if this helps!
Here is what I did:
1- go to app manager from settings,
2- uninstall the latest version of google play store
3- clear data and cache of google play store
4- install version Google Play Store v3.5.19
5- when you open the market, google will still prompt you to update to the latest version (dont continue, leave it as it is)
6- if you want to update/install the apps do it thru the browser in your phone/computer (it will straight away update in your phone)

If you have Custom MTD partition, the issue may be, you have a low space reserved for System (Where GAPPS are installed) and more for Data.
Try using 175, 15... It is sufficent enough to run smoothly.

Ah hell,why the hell didn't I ever think of this ?
Thanks for the life saving tip ,still not sure though if it was market version related or the system partition related.
Increased the partitons to [mtd 175 15].Market took a while,got updated to version 3.7.13 and it's working now.Really appreciate your help.
BTW,How did you figure out that [mtd 175 15] will work on "CM 7.2 Stable"?Just wondering can’t we take some more space from “system”.I have had [mtd 140 5] working well with "CM Nightly”.
Not sure how much we can take from system to flash CM 7.2 Stable but I guess we can still reduce "cache" to 5MB.

I found out the partition size because I also wanted more space for Data as I don't like installing apps on SD (It can easily get corrupted as you use the SD with your PC during File Transfer, etc and or malfunction as some SD cards aren't that strong and I don't trust any!). That partition made it run.
Another way you can increase your partion size is simply by taking out pre-installed apps and or ringtones/notifications, etc you feel you don't need (My style).

Even on CM forums,Android forums and several blogs.Don't know why couldn't find your post.
Anyway,"olu.danNY's" advice helped me else i was going to ditch CM7 for some other ROM .In my opinoin there should be a thread where users can update their working MTD partitions regarding their ROMs.
Right now I am running CM 7.2 Stable with [mtd 140 15] and some other users are running it even with [mtd 130 15]. i.e cache partiton was the root of the trouble.

I also prefer removing pre-installed apps using TB but that doesn't really help you that much.
Custom MTD partition does the real rescue and you can also use "S2E" to gain more space by moving apps to Ext partition e.g games,maps.Just make sure you don't move app data to Ext.

P.S. Don't attempt to shrink the cache partition "too much".
Keep it(Cache) ≥ 15

YMMV - especially with CM7. It has been mentioned a few times over the forum that CM7 has a bind script which makes your whole /data partition used as cache - as long as it's activated (default) and not corrupted there shouldn't be any problems with the play store. No idea regarding other situations but I know of people running a 5MB cache partition on CM7...

Yep,I know CM7 has some sort of script that automatically moves cache to data partition if it overflows(larger than the cache size).
I have had [mtd 140 5] working well with "CM Nightly”.
No idea why it is causing trouble with CM7.2-Stable. Maybe it's lacking that script which makes it sufficent enough to run smoothly if cahce partition is <15.
