Apps won't install

Hi. I'm having trouble downloading apps. When I dowload from the market it says downloading then just disappears. A fee times it has downloaded but the app never installs, says problem parsing package or app not installed. I'm newbie at this, please help. P.S I just got 1 out of the last 10 apps to install

This has been posted before by me and others. Your /cache mount is full and you have a ROM or Kernel that uses the /cache for your davik-cache (which is the .dex file created by each app when it is installed).
You have 2 options...Remove some apps, or look into a real apps2sd app (either DarkTremor's a2sd or you can take a look at link2sd which is less intrusive). if you choose link2sd, you just need to always check dalvik-cache when you move an app.
If you choose to move your apps, you'll need to create a new partition. Make sure to read the instructions for either of these carefully.

OK. I unistalled about 6 apparently and it works! Yeayy thank you so much. Just tried to download Google voice and got package file invalid. Ill search for a fix. Feels good to be able to download Alps again. Thanks!

1. What is link2sd and how should we benifit from it.
Link2sd is an app that using a partition on the sd card to link all your apps to it, in other words it is convincing the phone that it has a larger memory so you can install hundreds of apps.
when you are linking your app files by “creating link” it won’t take any space from the device memory so you can by creating a second partition install apps as much as you want without concerning about memory.
The benifit from link2sd :
*More apps to install
*using apps while you are in storage mode “usb mode”.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.Link2sd requirments:
Here will be many sections, if you already done or don’t need what is in any section skip it to the next one.
Note: your phone must be rooted.
Note: section A is only for stock roms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Update section A is obsolete but iam keeping it here if any one wanna to root or convert the system to ext4, so donot waste your time in section A.
If
If you are not rooted yet, follow this toturial [Tutorial]How To Root and Unroot Samsung Galaxy Ace official Gingerbread 2.3 updgrade by gganon
Then go to android market update super user and update the binary “if necessary I will upload the ScreenShots later”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remember you donot need this, skip it donot waste your time and go to section B.
A. “Here you have to get CF-Root on your device
Or activated superuser “ check it by using for example root explorer, titanuim backup etc...”
install CF-Root by ketut.kumajaya
first install CF-Root-S5830-v3.7-b84.zip (12.55 MB)
By flashing it by recovery
install super user from market Link
then install ext4 as any usual apk
and open it
after that go to CWM and select flash kernel
and flash thisB84.zip.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
B. If you have any a2sd scrpits or a2sd gui you have to delete it.
Iam not sure about the method, once i get it gonna post it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
C. Partition your sd-card:
Simplest way is to use "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" from http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html
This tool is compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista & Windows 7
requirements: USB SD Card reader.
pull SD card from phone, insert into USB SD Card reader. Windows should report new drive and content of the drive should be visible.
• step 1: delete old partitions on SD card
Note: this partition manager QUEUES the operations. So nothing is deleted and changed UNTIL you click "APPLY" and then confirm by clicking "OK".
WARNING!
Make sure you are deleting partition on SD card! (not your hard drive for example)
This step deletes everything on SD card, so backup files first!
Dont be afraid, just read everything and think twice before selecting correct drive.
Do you see three gray icons on the bottom? Under each of them the capacity of each drive is listed, and SD CARD has slightly different icon.
Hard drives on the screenshot have 465.8GB and 74.5GB, and on the bottom, the SD card, with 3.8GB capacity.
• step 2: create FAT or FAT32 partition “ note that this partition is for storing your media, etc..”
select "Create As": PRIMARY
Select "File System:" FAT when you have 2GB or smaller card.
Select "File System:" FAT32 when you have 4GB or greater card.
• step 3: select the 2nd partition and select "Create As": PRIMARY
NOTE:
Stock roms with stock kernel will support fat32
Stock roms with custom kernels “ like CF-Root” may support both fat32/ext4 “check their threads”
Cm7/cm9 roms will support ext4
Here Is a NOTE:
For a wired reason, in both cm7/cm9 roms if formatted your 2nd partition with ext4 format, link2sd wont create mount script, unless you have selected ext3 “although the format was converted to ext4”
• step 4: finish
finally, click "apply" button on top left corner.
partitions will be created and card will be formatted.
Reattach your sd card to your phone and turn it on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
D. Now use root explorer and copy the attached file to system/app
Give it the permissions rw-r-r.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
E. open it, then there will be a popup window, select fat32, ext3,ext4 “as you have formatted your 2nd partition”
Here Is a NOTE:
For a wired reason, in both cm7/cm9 roms if formatted your 2nd partition with ext4 format, link2sd wont create mount script, unless you have selected ext3 “although the format was converted to ext4”
then reboot
after reboot open link2sd
click filter and select user
then menu, multi select , select all, or select the apps you wanna to link
menu actions, create link,
tick all the options
leave it, it's gonna take about halfan hour linking your apps to the new partition
after completion you will see
at the bottom of your app " linked > sd"
then
click menu, settings auto link,
tick them all
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. What not to do:
Please everyone avoid to do anything mentioned down there, am telling you after experience.
1. Do not ever wipe dalvick cache by cwm or any recovery
Even a developer thread told you to wipe, don’t even think to wipe dalvick cache through recovery
You will get troubles.
if you by mistake thinking that you are genuis and wiped the dalvik cache from recovery, or you have red in a thread to do so
Whenever you boot up, you will get memory full, so open link2sd :
Menu>more>link dalvik chache, reboot, then repeat it untill you see all your
apps
then link library files and reboot for two time at least
2. In the newer version of link2sd if you wiped dalvick cache, there is a new option which is “link application files” select this option then reboot.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.Everey couple of days:
1. relink library files
2. relink dalvick cache
3. cleanup 2nd partition
4. cleanup dalvick cache
5. cleanup app chache
6. select all apps and create link.
7. relink application files “NEW ver.”
NOTE:
When there is an update available for link2sd, update it first then update the other apps
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D3molitionMan
This step is merely to install the link2sd app as a system app instead of a user app.
The attached file is link2sd.apk given at the end of the post, look it up.
You are supposed to use any root explorer and paste this app in the directory system/app and then change the app's permissions to rw-r-r-.
Before pasting the app change the mode to read-write instead of read-only. There should be a button or an option in the settings in your explorer to do that.
Look for r/w or r/o symbols.
example of rw-r-r- permissions=>

Then reboot and the app will be installed.

6. what is the difference if I can move apps to sd from system?
The diff. is that when you move app to sd there are many problems, which are:
1. Not all the app moves to sd, there will some parts from it in internal memory.
2. If you wanna to use your mass storage all apps will be unavailable till you disconnect from pc.
3. Some apps which requires syncing like facebook whenever you restart your phone your synced contacts will be gone.

basically this is a tutorial for newbies of how to partition your sd and use link2sd. It will help new users, nice!
Basically link2sd is better than s2e. Why? Because it lets you decide which apps to move on sd-ext and secondly does not move the app's data on sd cause that slows down the phone. This is also stated on s2e instructions so if any of you use s2e DON'T MOVE DATA TO SD-EXT.
From personal experience and lots of testing you shouldn't move the following apps on sd-ext:
1. Launchers
2. Widgets (but moving widget's themes on sd-ext is ok)
3. Apps that run in the background such as Google Maps, Go SMS, Go Keyboard, etc...
4. Themes for theme chooser
If you move any of these on sd-ext won't mess up your ACE but it will slow it down or give you more lag.

Is fat32 faster then ext2/3/4 partition?

Or here's an EASIER method,
1. Create partition with CWM
2. Use S2E to move everything to that partition

Storage issues with Link2SD

I've rooted my phone about a week ago and have been fiddling around with all the different things i can do with the phone, but my main reason for doing it was to help with the crap internal storage it has. So i got Link2SD setup and partitioned my SD card with a second ex2 partition, and for a while it will work well, i will have around 70-80mb listed as free on my internal but that won't really change much even when adding and linking new files with l2sd, but lately i've been running into a problem where it will drop down to 10-20 mb and just stay there. I've already tried formatting and doing a clean install which will fix it for a day or so, but it keeps dropping low and staying there even when i delete things to clean up space. I've clean installed 4 times already with the same effect, and now it's getting annoying since i started fresh yesterday and had the issue come up almost instantly, wiped again and now i'm already back at the same spot.. is there some folder that is filling up that i'm unaware of? I'm just very confused about this issue now hah, any help would be greatly appreciated

Link2sd doesn't prevent your phone from thinking that internal storage is full, I think.
I'd recommend trying s2e instead.
-----------
"You can overclock as much as you want, your phone will always seem too slow."

hmm, s2e won't run on stock rom will it? i think i've read that it will only run on cm7/9

Hmm. When I was new to link 2 sd I had same problem. Don't worry I got a fix. ^_^
1.Uninstall stupid system apps you don't use. We need to make space in system partition.
2. Download titanium backup and when u open it. Go to options select integrate davlic cache into rom. It'll take few minutes, when it's complete reboot.
3. Make sure all files are linked.
4. Clear cache occasionally.
5. If you still are low on space you may use this command as the last option.
Warning: you may have to reboot phone after installing a new app to run it for first time.
Go to terminal
Type 'su'
Accept superuser request.
Type 'a2sd cachesd'
Phone will reboot and may take some time to start.
6. That should be it. I'm running cm9 with link 2 sd and I have more than 100 apps still I got 75 mb free.
Sent from my Wildfire S A510e using xda app-developers app

When you flash a new rom, make sure first thing you do is installation of Link2SD.
Tick auto link on it, and then install whatever you want.
It's how I solved that problem.
Now I have 107 apps installed with Link2SD, and around ~40mb of free internal space.

Try deleting files in /data/tombstones (if there is any), using a file explorer.

Many apps will save their data in your internal memory, even if they're linked to your SD. There are some programs (like S2E) that can move all your data to your SD but you may loose performance if you don't have a fast SD. One alternative is using Titanium Backup to move to SD data of individual apps, this way you can keep in your internal memory the data you want to access quickly (ie your contacts) and you move to SD all the other data. The process is reversible and if you think it slows down too much a specifc app you can move back its data to internal memory.
To do dat you have to go to "Copy/Restore" in Titanium Backup, long-press one app and scroll down until you find the option "Move app data to SD".
This way I've been able to save about 60 MB of additional internal memory and I haven't noticed any change in performance.
An additional advantage is that this Titanium Backup feature is available in the free version; the Dalvik cache integration proposed in a previous post is locked if you don't have PRO version.

Linking /data/data app files for free?

Hi,
Can anyone confirm if this is still true. I've just installed Titanium Backup Free v5.5.2 and in the "Backup/Restore" screen I follow the instructions above and see a 'Move to SD card' option, but no 'Move app data to SD' option. Choosing the 'Move to SD card' option does not move the app data. Is it still available in the free app?
I'm very happy with link2sd with my stock rom HTC Wildfire S except that it doesn't offer me the ability to selectively link /data/data application files. Perhaps there's another linking app that does a more complete job? I've seen this thread mention simple2ext but that seems to require Cyanogenmod.
Cheers,
Mark

I can provide an answer to my own question here. It turns out that the 'Move app data to sd card' option only appears if Titanium Backup sees a valid mount point, as per this documentation: http://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/titanium-backup-kb/titanium-backup-technical-faq.html#requirements-for-using-move-app-data-to-sd
If you have a phone like mine (Wildfire S, stock rom v2.3.5) then you don't have one of the TB supported mount points so you have to create it yourself using Terminal Emulator and Busybox
e.g.
Code:
$ su
# ln -s /data/sdext2 /data/sd
# mkdir /data/sdext2/app
Also I've now discovered that for the functionality to work properly the second partition must be a unix filesystem type like ext2, ext3 or ext4, but not vfat (FAT32) since that doesn't allow TB to create symbolic links.
There's more discussion of this and gory details on this thread
Cheers,
Mark

Brother u are a life saver, I just followed your syntax and it worked like charm. I am now having 98 mb of internal memory from 38mb.
But have Couple of question for u....
1. Can u tell me if I have to run this command again and again after installing new apps or will it work on its own if once executed?
2. I have link2sd installed before this command and have linked all the files to 2nd partion of my sd card.
Is it safe to uninstall link2sd app now?

1. You only need this command again when the memory runs way too low. Don't try it again coz it reduces performance too.
2. I guess you can/ I've never tried it tough.

I ran into problem with your command...it force closes some of my apps which I noticed later ....
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using xda premium

I had the same problem a while ago that i had to reflash the rom because apps were force closing all the time
The reason this happened was because i downloaded several apps at the same time, so Link2SD didnt had enough time to link all files
and the internal memory became full and went crazy
the only solution for me was deleting all apps and reinstalling them
so my recommendation would be not to download more than 1 app at the same time, wait for Link2SD to link files, and then download the next one

Actually I did that I did a factory reset and then ran the command..bt after that my internal apps was also force closing like playstore,etc

1 - go into (manage applications) in settings and wait till it calculate the storage of every app (under every app's name), where you will find that the memore increased usually from 12 mb to abou 20 mb.
2 - you have to go into link2sd app and do one of these 3 things:
1. link library files
2. link dalvic cache files
3. clear cache (not clear dalvic cache)
one of these options or more will do the track. now check storage and you will find more 30 or 40 mb
if anyone know a good application that links data too, i'l be very thankful

I am using link2sd with ext3 partition created through cwm recovery after re booting some apps disappear and i have to install them again
Any fix?

Insufficient Space

Hi Guys,
Im having some trouble with installing apps on marks ics, irs a really annoying bug. So when I want to install a app downloading is no problem, but when it installs, mostly says I dont have enough space left although I have in my interbal memory 220 mbs free. And in the sdcard arround 500mbs. WTF???

Check your files on sd card. It could be a corrupted file. It's happened to me before.

Problem fixed, dont know how

Try clear dalvik and cache partition?

No i looked in data/app and there were some crazy files
