Full Memory Error When Installing an App - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Well, I tried to install an apk (Asphalt 7: Heat) in my GN but when I'm about to install, the phone gives me an error "Não foi possivel instalar Asphalt 7. Liberte algum espaço e tente novamente" (Im portuguese, so the message is in PT) translating this it says: Couldn't install Asphalt 7, Free some memory and try again.
The problem is, I have more than 8GB free space, I tried to install other apps and no problem at all, the error is only for asphalt 7...
How can I solve the problem?
EDIT: the same happened when I unistalled Poweramp Trial, I Tried to buy the app and I noticed that I needed to reinstall the trial app before buying the full version, well, the same full memory erros shows up and doesn't let me install

anyone?

Are you sure you don't have any clockworkmod backups or something else which doesn't show up as used space?
Try doing a full factory reset than reinstalling every app.

If you can install ES file explorer you can do a SD card analysis to show how much free memory you really have.
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus

This happened to me before when I had plenty of space, I think a simple reboot fixed the problem.

Boot into recovery mode. Wipe cache and dalvik cache, boot into android. Then restart your phone again.

hi! I used the root explorer app and deleted the dalvik cache and all the contents in the cache folder, after rebooting, my phone started to scan all my apps... I tried to reinstall poweramp trial from the market and nothing... full memory error again.
any other sugestions? (i dont know how to delete cache and dalvik cache in the recovery mode)

go into either the /system/app/ or /data/app/ directory and delete the odex file that has the same name

i didnt find any odex named app.odex
could you specify the name?

[Q] Samsung I9000 force close

Hi, I received a Samsung I9000. Would not go past "s".
Used odin to flash to Gingerbread- still would not boot. Flashed to stock 2.2.1.
Takes long to boot, then force close keeps on popping up for all applications installed. After startup, I noticed the same user data and applications on phone. I tried *2767*3855#. No luck. Booted into recovery and wiped cache and formatted, no luck. What else can I do?

AFAIK as long as you still notice same user data on phone, you won't get any luck repairing force closes.
Try to wipe data/factory reset first, then do flash any stock Gingerbread with repartition checked using Odin.
After that, you should have a clean ROM without FC.
Then it is best to redownload your installed apps from market.
If you would like to restore your apps using Titanium Backup try just to restore app only (without data).
Good luck and cheers...

[Q] Can't install anything after Dalvik cache hack

I rooted my phone, locked bootloader, stock 2.3.4 .
I then flashed the Dalvik Cache Hack on CWM auto installer. ( I didn't take any steps before that, like wiping cache etc)
It saves up all the memory it promises.
However it messes up all my app2sd apps and their shown as they cannot be read or run.
I factory reset, then restore backup from mybackup root. MOST apps are restored.
But still, I cannot install any application from the market or an apk from the sd card.
Instead it says: "Download unsuccesful", "Package file not found" or "Installation unsuccesful".
I flashed the rom again, and now all my app2sd apps are messed up again.
So whay do I do to fix these problems?
I don't care what about the internal memory saved anymore so I'd be happy to remove the rom, if that would resolve my problem.

Turns I did have a back up. Restored it and all is fine now.
Thank you very much.
Btw, the reason you couldn't install anything is because the dalvik cache was taking up all the space in the /cache partition, so the market couldn't download the apk files in there.

[Q] E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

I change rom, in time to give the error gave Dalvik wipe sd-ext, I've tried many things but could not fix, you know something about it?
Thanks
Its a non issue....I believe it just means your not using your SD card to increase your dalvik cache therefore its impossible to clear it because you weren't using the feature in the first place

Please don't double post.. There's an edit button.
As for your question:
How can you fix it if it isn't broken. Just ignore it. Its irrelevant.. This has absolutely nothing to do with being able or not able to flash ROMs. It's much more likely you've flashed the official ICS ROM, or bought it pre-installed which has locked your bootloader. Follow the unbrick guide for your model if that's the case.. However, if you're unfamiliar with ROMs, or even just this model of phone as it sounds, it's probably a good idea to post your current rom, and more details if this is the case before doing so.

your error has nothing to do with the ext partition. I think your issue has a simple fix download the sd formater app for windows (google it) format your sd card using the default settings (do a backup first) and put your card back in your phone after you have restored your backup. You should be good to go. The format that LG uses on the stock sd card is incompatible with CWM.

As has already been mentioned, the Nitro/SU640 etc doesn't use sd-ext for its dalvik cache. As it's not used, you are going to get an error because your recovery is trying to wipe a path that doesn't exist. There is no need for it to exist in the first place, so the error really isn't anything to be worried about.
You say you cannot change ROMs with the sd-ext error... what exactly does it tell you when you try to flash a different ROM without trying to wipe dalvik?
When you change rom wipe dalvik without making the rom works with some problems, I have done tests but always gets something without working

What things aren't working? Just about all the ROMs have things that aren't 100% working correctly, random reboots (no matter how infrequent) etc. Are you sure you aren't mistaking the already existing bugs in each ROM for an error related to wiping dalvik? Just trying to cover all possibilities because dalvik is, if I'm not mistaken, on the system partition and gets wiped when performing a system wipe.
I just ask because I never even wipe dalvik...

This is an LG NITRO forum so you might check on the Galaxy Note forum but on the Nitro you will have to reformat your SD card on a computer using the SD formater app for windows google it.

What is the entire process you are doing?
Are you wiping the system partition then installing a different ROm, without wiping data?
If so that explains it. The wallpaper is user data. So if you, for example, wipe the system parition of CM10 and install SlimBean which is based on CM10, the system will still look for the wallpaper in the same place. It will find your previous user data, and the wallpaper you had before will show up again.
However...don't do that. You're begging for problems. Not 'bricked phone' problems. But force closes and other settings conflicts from where the 2 roms arent' perfectly compatible.
This is my process for flashing a new rom
Step 1 reboot into recovery
Step 2 wipe system data
Step 3 wipe cache
Step 4 wipe dalvik
Step 5 format system
Step 6 flash rom
Am I doing it all wrong?

That's pretty strange. What recovery? Maybe try a different recovery or ODIN back to stock and start "fresh".
Not GS4 related but on my old GS2, TWRP would not wipe no matter what I did till I use a Superwipe script.
If you formatted your internal SD card, you shouldn't have any problems. What is the wallpaper that you see on both ROMs? Is it a wallpaper you downloaded? If so, where is it located? What recovery are you using? All this information should have been mentioned in your original post.

Does google backup and restore service also wrap in wallpapers?
baseballfanz said:
That's I've never had ANY issues with flashing my roms . Never had residual files or wallpaper left over. I use cwm touch recovery as I seemed to have Some issues with Twrp. Here are the EXACT steps I take EVERY time I flash a rom. First in recovery I wipe data factory reset, then I wipe cash and dalvik cash, then I install rom from external sd card. After those steps I reboot and I've ALWAYS been good to go. These are the ONLY steps I take when flashing my roms. Ive had several different rooted devices and have ALWAYS followed these simple steps. I have a 64 gig sd card and everything is perfect with it. Only time I formatted it was at first instalation. Never had any issues. I've been doing it this way for years. Wipe data factory reset,wipe cash and dalvik, install from external sd card, reboot. I know some might have different ways but ive ALWAYS been successful with this method. You might want to try just these four steps and see if your issue still persists. This way has ALWAYS worked perfectly for me. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try. So only wipe data factory reset then wipe cash then wipe dalvik cash then install zip from external sd card and reboot. See how that works out for you. It should solve your issue. I really hope this helps. Best wishes. World's perfectly for me EVERY time.

Zedge saves to /sdcard/zedge. Backup your wallpaper to external, then (using CWM or Philz)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
format system
format sd card
wipe dalvik cache
Then flash your ROM. Backup anything you want to save on internal SD to external SD prior to formatting sdcard.

I'm not seeing you wipe user data at any point in this process.
Unless you mean the data partition when you say 'system data'.
Do this...
reboot to recovery
wipe and/or format...in one single step...system, data, dalvik, cache
flash new rom and any add ons (kernel, gapps, etc)
reboot
If the old wallpaper is sitll there then you've got a phone that's possessed by a poltergeist. Call the Ghostbusters.
Even with that Zedge app that you used to install your wallpaper, that shouldn't be showing up on first boot of a new ROM becaus ethe new ROM won't be looking for the Zedge app data until you install that app.

I had this problem on a previous device. Sometimes booting into recovery and wiping the dalvik and cache partitions did the trick for me. The issue would surface when I started approaching the limit of the internal memory.
