[Q] Kindle apps not installing - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The kindle Fire unrooted or rooted always has a notice when you are low on application storage, after rooting it to 6.3 I now have this problem where it is impossible to install applications because it is low on application data or "insufficient application storage" i don't know what to do :T, but when i check there is still 1gb remaining (almost all there). I ahve TWRPP installed, Firefirefire, Clockwork, and superuser root installed.
EDIT[1]
Problem still continues to persist, ran in recovery and cleared caches

clearing caches didnt work for me, did you ever figure this out?

Do you have a "root" file browser? Which one?

yea i have root explorer. i figured out about 20 minutes after since i found rom thread that someone had happend to mention my problem in about deleting this odex file which solved everything

Installation was unsuccessful

So I rooted and flashed my phone with a pre-rooted version of stock 2.2, installed a power saving mod and enabled move any app to sd (adb), installed loads of apps and it worked fine.
I've just gone to install a new app from the market and I can't get it to work. Anyone know of a fix?
Thanks
What app? Did you try clearing market cache and data? Tried rebooting your phone? If not, read and search first, post later.

I had the same problem, first time it say installation unsuccessful, second time it is successful..I think is a problem with the market, google doing some update on it..
I searched and tried some suggestions there. Formatting SD etc. Reflashed the rom and it seems fine now.

Maybe switching ROMs or re-flashing your current ROM will work. Give it a shot, backup your apps of course.

Are they apps that you have ever had installed? Try installing an app that you have never had installed and see if that works. If it does, then use a file explorer (I use astro), and see if there's anything in the folder titled ".android_secure" (without the quotes of course) on your sdcard. I actually had this problem before, and there was some left over app data that was interfering with the installation I guess
geez was hoping this would work but I just checked my astro application and checked android secure and all directories are empty. also this is a problem with applications that I ready have that need to be updated and brand new applications I am downloading from the market... I just get a triangle with an ! in the middle of itfor each application that did not successfully install... and this is a brand new problem haven't done anything different been running the newes t fresh for months now

What is your memory situation?
Froyo apps2sd ? A2sd ?
GO into recovery and clear cache and Dalvick cache.
Try wiping the market data this happened to me couldn't update or install anything and it worked

Did you install your previous apps from the market or did download apk's then install them? Try Settings>Applications>Manage Clear market cache and data that might work like the other person said. Check your memory. What rom are you using? Try backing everything up then go do a factory reset and then setup up your google account that's what I did when that happened to me months back and seemed to work. Hope I helped

Downloading from android market question (easily the weirdest problem you'll see)

Hi XDA, long time lurker, first time poster.
So I rooted my droid incredible yesterday evening. Everything was dandy- I installed CM7. However, this afternoon i stopped being able to use the market application - it would require a force close - both the market app and downloader. I decided to wipe everything, reinstall, and re root and do it again. I installed CM7 again, market wouldn't work. I then did a full wipe, factory reset, cache reset, davlik reset, and installed the newest nightly build of CM7. Still couldn't download from app marketplace.
I now just installed SkyRaider 4.0. I still can't download from the google marketplace on my phone. I can, however, install from the amazon app store, and when I use google's web install interface I can install the google marketplace apps from there (this also works for appbrain).
--I can use the google marketplace and appbrain marketplace on my computer, just not on my phone --
Clearly, the default android marketplace app doesn't work on my phone (and consequently appbrain as it goes through that).
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Brian
Any other apps not working?

Everything else works fine.
Have you tried fixing permissions?

Reboot into Clockwork recovery, there is a fix permissions options. If I remember right it is in the advanced section. Run it. It will not hurt anything it will just run script that will run through the files and fix the permission settings on them.
Fixing permissions didn't eliminate the problem.
Did you download the Google apps zip with cm and flash it too? You never mentioned that part. Might be the problem

Insufficient Storage Google Play Store

Running on my AT&T rooted Galaxy S3:
Andriod 4.0.4
Kernel Version 3.0.8
Build: Diet ICS v7.11.12
Several weeks, no issues.
This morning I went to install 2 updates and each update said "Insufficient Storage".
I can not download any updates or new apps without getting this error.
If I uninstall an app, I can not re-install it without getting the same error "Insufficient Storage".
I have cleared the cache and data under Google play store app info
I have gone into recovery mode, cleared cache and dalvik cache.
Nothing is working.
Any help would be much appreciated
This seems to be happening a lot. Especially with custom ROMs. This used to happen to me but when I had the app installed on my sd card...

Yeah, the same happens on my NS4G but I've found that leaving the Play Store app pulling down the notification bar while it's updating and leaving the screen on helps. It sometimes takes 2 or 3 tries but it usually works eventually.

Same thing happened to me. Get root explorer, go to /app/data then look for files with the name of the app and a little orange shield on it, delete it and your good to go

It has something to do with stored ODEX file (i am not sure what it means). One solution I found is to install lucky patcher app and just open it. It will delete the unused ODEX files and you wont see the issue again.
Click on thanks if this resolves your issue!

This worked for me. Thanks.
I never found the .ODEX file, but in /data/app with ES File Explorer I found the .apk of the program and just deleted that. I then went and updated the app and it let me download and install this time. Hope that helps anyone else having this issue!
I was having similar issues with tons of apps. Eventually I just moved half of the garbage to the SD and deleted a bunch of bloatware with Titanium Backup. After a nice solid battery pull everything updates fine now.

This worked last time but instead I used TB. I have the SD Data and Apo, can someone please help me know how to fix?
