Well... Clear up some memory and try again...
You can use "Clean Master" for that.
Another option...
There is another option, though it may be frowned upon by some here.
There is an app called lucky patcher, I found it while trying to find a solution to this problem some time back (300mb of space on device, not SD card and I still couldn't install a 1mb app). You won't find it in the play store though so you will need to google it, that has a fix for that issue. Under the app's settings there's a troubleshooting option. In that menu there is an option to fix the no space bug (Just read, under each option it has a description). It's worked for me on sense 4 roms as well as sense 5 roms. This is the only reason I keep this app lying around.
Hope this works for you and I don't run into any trouble for suggesting this...

Ever since I upgraded my Desire to stock Froyo from Telus, some apps I've tried to install are failing. It just says that the installation was unsuccessful. I currently have 24mb of internal space, and 6.4gb of SD card space.
Any ideas why this is happening? It's really starting to bug me.
Ditto
Apologies for posting in the Desire thread, however my unrooted HTC Incredible with 2.2 is having the same issues. Apps will download and attempt to install, only to fail.

what apps are failing to install?
Any app really. I tried to upgrade trillian, and it was failing to work. I don't know why, but once I actually uninstalled what was already on my phone, it started working again. Same thing with Google Translate app.

are you using apps2sd? myabe your ext partition is full
My apps install to my phone by default, then I use App 2 SD to move it. I currently have 6gb of free external space.
Hmm ok. I notced that they fail to update already isntall apps if the App is on my SD card.
Any solutions to that?
I had this with LeeDrOiD, you will need root and S=Off, remove the smdl2tmp1.ascec in: /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec.
As always, do a nandroid backup.
Hey Guys,
atm i've got MIUI 1.4.1 running on my Desire.
My SD-Card: 1,5GB Ext3 and rest Fat32.....
Up to the Topic:
Choosing an app from market works fine, even downloading is working, BUT: downloaded apps wont get installed -.-
Wiped Ext, formatted whole SD new, but no success.....
Any Guess?
Cheers
did you try forcing install through adb?
Did you clear the market cache already?
Thread can be closed.
Got a hint in MIUI-Thread, "Click download at Homescreen, click Menue and check "Download when any Connection available"
Cyaaaa

definitely it is dirty (the Market app list doesn't update afaik)
hi to all.
I noticed a problem yesterday, i can't update my apps. It says "update" and when i press on it, it downloads, and after 1second "installing" it says : Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card :S. And after that the same app doesn't have "update" status - it says "free" although i have that app on my Desire. And if i download again - it says the same, couldn't install. But i CAN install other apps, that i don't have on my phone. Can somebody help me. i'm running stock 2.2 - not rooted.
Try "Clear Data" and Cache for the market. That may work

doesn't help either
Then it is probable Google related in regard to your region. Few weeks ago half of my apps were missing from my apps list so I had to use market enabler to update my apps. This week it started working normal as usual. Wait for a few days, maybe it comes to its senses.

i thought the same
I had exactly the same problem last night and this morning, I wiped all caches including the Dalvik.
It now seems to be working! Rooted with CM7
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
so... i found some solution. ex: Google googles can't update. If i move it to internal and update it's ok. I moved it again on sd and the new version (1.5.2) again doesn't update. i must again move it to internal. it's stupid to do this all the time. I formated the sd card - again the same. what can be the cause? and the cure ? tnx
edit|
found solution online if someone need it :
The solution? Go and delete smdl2tmp1.asec yourself. From what I can tell, it could reside in 2 locations:
/sdcard/.android_secure – this is an invisible folder on your SD card, which you can access with any file manager, like ASTRO
/mnt/secure/asec/ – access to this folder requires root and a program like Root Explore
Ive had that issue in the past and deleting the file helped the first time. HOWEVER, I've encountered this problem again recently, and this fix no longer works. Anyone has another fix?
Froyo, no root, stock rom.
Somehow I can't install newer version of ROM manager from Google play store...
Check the screenshots, what's the problem...? :/
Thanks if you can help..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
EDIT: PLEASE don't keep my old threads alive!
Screenshot isn't showing up for me.
Is it saying you're out of storage space?
Try clearing your market data.
Settings>Apps>Play Store>Clear Data
This will change your market settings back to stock and remove your recent market searches...
But other than that you won't lose anything and it might remedy the situation.

I uploaded the screenshots via my Galaxy Nexus and just noticed it's not showing them.. in market it said: ERROR: "Insufficient storage available", i can install other apps but not the ROM Manager!
I should clear market data and cache but I'm not sure does it help because it just can't install this one application and I have 6 GB free memory, I gonna clear market data and then I try to install it again.
But Thanks anyway for the reply!..
Edit: now I see the screenshots, sometimes it takes time to show them, I don't know why..
and still it doesn't install it.. little bit weird..
People who get this specific error don't deserve the answer.

Q&A for [ROM][09/03/14] AlterNdromadus CM10.1 | Android 4.2.2 [STABLE]
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
Just flashed my D-Z to this ROM and it seems to be pretty fast.:fingers-crossed:
Thanks for all!
Wi-Fi not working
Hello and thanks again for keeping our great ancient device alive I have, however, encountered one very unfortunate problem with the wi-fi, which connects to the wi-fi network but then there's no internet connection. I tried updating the radio to the newest version found here, I have tried installing Wifi Fixer and re-installing the ROM a couple times. On previous ROMs (stock CM 7.2 and Andromadus Mimicry (CM9.1)), the wi-fi worked just fine. Also the wi-fi router provides connection to other devices seamlessly. Do you have any idea where the problem might be?
EDIT: OK, to make sure, I flashed CM 7.2 again (both stable and latest nightly), only to find out that on this particular wi-fi network, internet connection doesn't work for my Desire Z so something's probably wrong with the router TP-Link TL-WR740N.
EDIT2: Connectify solved the problem so there's definitely something wrong with the router, even though it has the latest firmware. (And the strangest thing is that Connectify worked fine while sharing internet connection from the same router that didn't work with my Desire Z directly... WTF? )
Slow response and out of space (AlterNdromadus CM10.1)
Hi, I'm new to custom ROMs, and I'm certainly no developer, but I have been successfully running this one on my HTC Desire Z for about a month. It's been more or less fine but I have two issues:
1. My phone seems to be getting slower and slower to respond. Is that just because I'm an app addict and I have installed too much crap?
2. I'm getting the "out of space" error when I try to install or update apps, even though according to the DiskUsage app I'm using I have 110 MB free on internal storage. I have seen the fix of deleting the logs in /data/logs, but this directory does not exist on my phone! Where else should I look for old logs? What else can I try?

I use an appcache cleaner ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.cache ) and also you might think about moving apps to the sdcard.

Well, I've tried both, and I currently have 126.9mb free in internal storage and 128.7mb free on the SD card. But I still get an "insufficient space" error when trying to update apps.
What is the underlying source of this problem? And what can I do about it? It seems odd that I can't update a 50kb app when I have 126mb free.
PS: apologies if this got posted twice; I thought I responded yesterday but I don't see the other post.

Slide unlock with pattern security

sorry out of thoughts....maybe a ROM reload.
I get that insufficient space error quite a bit - here are some things to try:
Uninstall updates for the Google Play Store through "Settings" --> "Apps" --> "All." I've had better luck with earlier versions of the Play Store, though very recent builds seem to be improving WRT this behavior.
I usually try to keep 140-180 MB free, which will be enough for most programs to update. Problematic ones are Swype, Swiftkey, Dropbox, and OneNote, which can be uninstalled and reinstalled with the later version if necessary.
I move plenty of stuff to SD with "DS app2SD Lite" and uninstall things like Talkback with "System Apps Remover (Root)." I also run "lagfix (fstrim) free" ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix&hl=en ) every now and again, which might help further.
As far as slowness - you can try tips mentioned a few pages back in the ROM threads for setting up internal swap with Turbo Boost ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145133 ) and misc scripts like Supercharger v6 which is also included in the more comprehensive "PurePerformance" mod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360670 ).
Some critical opinions on Supercharger: https://plus.google.com/+AndrewDodd/posts/3AaCammc2Jw
In any case, with a fast swap set up with Turbo Boost, you can reduce or disable ZRam entirely.

I also use Amazon services & appstore, which to my regret runs in the background always and won't hibernate. Appstore / Amazon store app / Amazon Music all churning away, sucking up my precious megs and mips and is the cause for some of my own hiccups.
I also occasionally boot to 4ext Recovery and run fsck over adb shell to try to fix filesystem errors for each block device that never seem to stop cropping up. I actually have to reformat cache as ext2, then ext4 again to clear some... but that's probably another issue.
Hope some of this helped.

*sigh* I thought you might say that...
At any rate I went ahead and cleared everything off the SD card (after backing up, of course), then I ran all of the formatting and clearing options in CWM a couple of times. I also messed around with the partition size options in CWM. I didn't take a note of what sizes I chose but I went with the middle of the range options.
After flashing everything again and restoring what I could, it all seems fine again. Perhaps I missed a step in cleaning up before switching from CM7 to this ROM and left too much old info hanging around, eating up space and confusing things? DiskUsage now reports 485mb free, even though I restored all of the apps except GOBackup. Maybe the backup files were being stored in the wrong place.
Hi,
Having one old D-Z on shelf and now got inspired to flash custom Rom in it and this AlterNdromadus 10.1 seems most interesting Rom on sight, there is only one problem; can't find any download link for Rom
Could someone post a link or direct me to right place?

Lock sdcard access through USB possible if phone is locked ?
Hi,
Firstly, thanks a lot for AlterNdromadus !
I just migrated from my old CM 7.0.3 to this latest AlterNdromadus and ... ok, I should have to update earlier
I also flashed the latest gapp-light, updated my radio to latest Europe one and fixed the GPS with the recommended tool (just in case due to radio update)
Everything is ok except one thing. I set a PIN on my phone but it is still possible to access sdcard through USB cable even if the telephone is locked.
For me, it's like a security hole even if the SD card is physically accessible.
After googling the problem :
- I tried to find a "charge only" option without success (settings ==> storage ==> menu ==> USB connection to computer (path "translated" from french))
- I tried to disable usb mass storage but at least one of the three options has to be selected in the menu : USB Mass storage, PTP or MTP.
Why it is possible to access the SD card even if the phone is locked ?
Is there a way to fix this ? or a workaround ?
Thanks
P.S. Yes, English is not my native language
There is already already a KitKat Rom for HTC Desire Z. Problem with Desire Z is, that the hardware performance comes to an end, what I read in that post, so that someone went back to your 4.2.2 version. This was my experience, too, with an optimized 2.3.5 ROM. Without freezing some system apps my configuration wouldn't work on that. I am happy to be able to run a Android 4 version on the Desire Z at all to be able to install apps working only on 4 onward.
Great Rom but touch screen problem
This rom is great, But has anyone experienced touch screen problem after installing it?
I have to frequently lock on and off when my screen seems to stop responding to my touch.
How to fix it please?
Yep -- I have exactly the same problem. But I have to say that this issue has appeared after a some month of using this ROM.
