just follow this thread, it will work. if this patch method too fails, you should have to take the pain of factory reset or installing someother roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Casper34:
Ya.... I found it. I removed it by mistake the other day when this started happening.

Next question... since I can't install anything, I do have root explorer installed, where can I go to copy the install .apks to my ext card? I dont want to redownload everything and my last tibu has been awhile (I wouldn't want to restore one anyway so I don't get the error again).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Aingaran:
i dont get what you mean, can you please ask me clearly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Casper34:
I know there is a location to go that stores all the .apk files on the phone. I would like to copy them to my external card so when I format and install I can just reinstall the apps that I use, rather than download and install using the data network.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Aingaran:
oh, you wanted to backup apps for formatting? just go to root using root explorer and find /data/app you can copy all these app to ext-sd also if you have some private apps, it will be stored in data/app-private you can copy this too. hoped it helps you

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jay_Slim:
Yep, that fixed it. Opened Rom Toolbox, Configure Apps2SD, select Auto, done. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WiredFuzzy:
Thanks!

I really appreciate the clue about the sd card setting in rom toolbox pro, it was driving me nuts trying to figure out why I suddenly couldn't install an app. I still am not sure how that setting got changed though, very weird!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sloanster:
No Problem... Glad I could help!:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wozhere:
Fix for me:

* In a good file manager go to: /data/app on internal memory (NOT /data/app ON SD CARD)

* Find the file with .odex extension & delete it

:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tyrrellica:
Yup, that fixed it for me too. I went in and checked the App setting on another program and switched it to Auto.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] airbus318:
Ok so I went through this thread but I still have the problem. I didn't have link2sd installed or any other similar program so I installed it to ensure it was set to 'automatic' for location and it already was. I read in the thread that the problem can arise when internal memory is less than 10%. Well when I look into storage in settings it shows device memory (2gb total) and only 200MB available so that issue would make sense as to being the culprit for me.

So the question is how do I free up memory internally? Are apps being installed there?

I am rooted, stock, and have ES File Explorer at my disposal.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[SOLVED]

Hey guys , had the same problem . I flashed CM 10.2 on my note 2 just to try out 4.3 . I had a titanium backup but the restore process dint go as expected . So I thought of reinstalling the apps from Play Store itself . THEN CAME THE DREADED INSUFFICIENT STORAGE ERROR. I tried using Lucky patcher to fix it as many forums suggested but was of no help for me . Then I fixed it by this simple method . Use a file manager program that has access to the root directory . Navigate to data folder and most probably an installation file of the app you are trying to install will already be there . This was created during the previous installation. Just delete those and there you go . You can install your required app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hittokirai:
Guys,

I had similar problem on my fiancée's Galaxy Note with CM 10.1 (now 10.2) just yesterday.

She has 2GB app storage. She had quite a few apps installed (I'd say ~20). It's not too much for this phone. Apps used ~100-150MB of memory. System used something like ~150-200MB. While updating apps (doesn't matter which apps) I had message: Insufficient Storage Available. It was weird.

It's been a while since phone has been refreshed, so I backed everything up and done factory reset, all the formatting and so on and installed newest CM rom (10.2). I've just installed Facebook, Skype and Netflix and while trying to intstall Swift Key keyboard I was slapped in the face with our favorite Insufficient Storage Available message stright away.

I've checked data usage with DiskUsage app. I've checked AppData (or something like that - don't have it in front of me). It's showed everything - how much space do apps take and it was now clean & clear what caused the problem. It was not apps. It was block called 'System Data'.

I've done further research and in Root Explorer app I've looked for it further and found the cause. It was /data/lost+found (again, or something like that hehe). It was taking 1.6GB of my 2GB app data partition! After deleting whole folder everything was working like a charm.

Thanks guys for help in this topic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Iristyle:
Check your /data/log folder for dumpstate files

FYI - I searched high and low for a solution to this problem, and as it turned out, my /data/log folder was clogged with about 1.5GB of log files, preventing any apps from installing or updating.

Unfortunately I haven't posted much here, so I can't put in links, but prefix the following with http

I found this thread on the CM forums describing the dumpstate file problem - Log Directory Full Of Dumpstate Files - Samsung Galaxy S II Nightly/Experimental - CyanogenMod Forum - forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/71465-log-directory-full-of-dumpstate-files/

You can use the Log Eraser app to clean everything out (and set the deletion to be performed automatically)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yochananmarqos:
I had just a couple apps that refused to update, everything else would. I tried clearing the Play Store's & the app's data, that didn't work. However, after deleting the app's folder in /data/app-lib I was successfully able to update them. This specifically was not mentioned yet, but a few people's posts gave me the idea. Thanks to all who contributed!

Oh man, this was driving me bonkers. I looked all around and found all these solutions for going into the /data folder and what not. I did have Rom Toolbox Pro and the apps was set to external somehow ( I really do not recall having done so since I cannot figure out how to get apps there on my old CM install). Anyhow, I changed it to Auto and fixed everything. Oh and I had to install Rom Toolbox again b/c I had uninstalled it thinking it was the culprit (it was but uninstalling it leaves the installs at external in that case, sheesh).

Anyhow, thanks very much. I almost wiped and reloaded.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jimbo_LP:
If you've recently installed Link2SD...

The "insufficient storage" error appeared for the first time for me after I installed Link2SD so if this is the case for you try this.

I've tried every solution described here with no luck... Until I saw that Link2SD is set to install every app in External memory. My phone is Samsung Galaxy S3 mini and I don't have that option by default (that's why I've installed Link2SD). So start Link2SD go to Settings -> Install location and set it to 'Auto'. (I rebooted the phone after this but I'm not sure if it's necessary). This fixed the "Insufficient storage" error for me.

I hope this helps.

Sorry if my English is not good. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nick.koutrelakos:
This was the solution for me (HBO Go was the specific culprit in my situation).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sudosurootdev:
This is actually the issue, some of the other fixes may do the same thing in the end, but if you check... when an app is uninstalled, or needs to be updated... I have an internal SD so it actually has nothing to do with app2sd except that the /data/app-lib folder for the app is left behind on many apps when uninstalled... or the update has an updated app-lib. As I just found the 3 apps giving me a problem, one previously uninstalled and trying to re-install, the other two were updates. The uninstalled app still had the /data/app-lib folder left behind. I deleted the /data/app-lib/{application} folder for all 3 and was able to successfully update the 2 and re-install the third! FINALLY!!!

Simple fix:

rm -rf /data/app-lib/*

rm /data/dalvik-cache/*

reboot

Thanks everyone for input and feedback. Great job!

Hey I have been reading through this and have found most people switch the download location to external sd and are fine with that. I really want to fix the original issue though. I will wipe everything and reformat every drive using ROM manager. I have SD Maid and have cleaned everything I can. It still says I am using over 14GB out of my 16GB of internal storage. It is not just this ROM either. I have tried several, wiping and reformatting every time. I also have not been able to get Odin going on my computer, so I am limited to using ROM manager. Here are some screenshots. Notice although it thinks I have 14GB used, when I highlight every folder on my drive and check the size it only says 250MB. I have been making this for months is there anything else I can wipe? Is there a way to do a complete wipe, completely back to fresh out of the box? Thank you all!

To fix that problem, try doing this

Go To --> Settings/Apps/Google Play Store, and Clear data

Then

Go To --> Settings/Apps/Google Play services, and Clear cache

It should work, if not, try downloading apps in the web browser via the google play website

If it doesn't work, then do the following steps above and download apps via the google play website

:)THERE YOU HAVE IT, NOW YOUR GOOD TO GO:)​

PS-Sorry, I cannot post the link to the google play website since I am a new user, but you could go there by your own
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BahnStormer:
I had this error and a lot of apps not updating or even installing despite having >5Gb space on internal memory and >40Gb on the external SD card (normally <10Gb free on that 64Gb card, but I had cleared down all my Spotify and Google sync'd music as I thought that was the problem at first as the storage status in the phone settings was "Total space 9.13Gb" and "Used space 44Gb", so I thought that even though there was 5Gb free, it might have confused the installer when doing a free space check.

I tried flushing dalvik cache, cache, etc seemed to let some of the apps install, but not all (e.g. Whatsapp), in the end, the "app-lib" fix worked for me.... or a version of that fix at least.

STEPS (for those that don't fancy a command console):

1) Launch CM File manager

2) Settings: changed access level to root (and approved the root access pop-up).

3) Browsed to /data/app-lib

4) searched for and deleted the folders for the app that was failing (despite me having already uninstalled it, it still had TWO folders, with a -1 and a -2 suffix).

5) Re-installed the offending app.

FYI - I'm running CM11 (201411/M12) on my SGS4 (GT-i9505), but this issue appears to be a core Android issue, not specific to any app, ROM or hardware.

What worked for me...

i read through this thread, trying to fix my storage error issues. when i would check how much storage i had, it appeared i had plenty, but when i would try to download i would get the insufficient storage message. i tried several of the fixes suggested, with no luck, a couple even gave me additional problems. in the end, i went into Rom Installer, clicked to wipe, and reflashed , and when i rebooted, everything was all good again. thanks to everyone who posted on this, i am a complete n00b, learning alot from you guys :)

Hellllo, so I'm new to this rooting and what not.... but I managed to get ics cm9 nightly build on it (running the latest version ) and everything's working great except 1 major and 1 minor problem... minor is the led buttons at the bottem (settings, home, back, & search) barely turn on...now the major is sometimes when somebody calls me or I call them my screen goes black and I can't hang up or speaker phone it or even turn it off, so I have to remove my battery y turn it off ... now I have tried to re flash cm9 and it did not fix my problem... and help would be great thanks
[Defy General] ashoks89:
Your minor bug can't really be fixed. Lots of people have this bug. Some say that it's not really a bug, and that the led has burnt out; some have managed to fix it by reflashing the sbf. Most of my button back lights have stopped working. It's a cosmetic issue really. So I have stopped worrying about it.

Your major bug on the other hand isn't really a bug either. It's probably because you haven't flashed it correctly. Are you sure you did a data wipe before you flashed the zip? If not, do a data wipe, and then flash it. After flashing, don't forget to clear cache and dalvik cache. That should fix your issue. Thanks button is at the bottom of the post. :D :good:
[Defy General] p00lshark5:
Thanks I'll give it a try :) and I'll be sure to use that button!
[Defy General] p00lshark5:
Actually before I wipe data is there a way to save profiles from reloading the sbf and by sbf do you mean cm9?
[Defy General] bebouze:
I think it's to hard. The only thing you can do is to flash a SBF file and then CM10 or AOKP ROM!

Try to save your sms maybe, and note what app you've downloaded on a paper and re-download them after the flash :p
[Defy General] ashoks89:
Like I said, I'm not sure that flashing with an sbf would solve the issue. You can give it a shot though. Sbfs are not custom ROMs, they are the original Motorola ROMs. You'll need rsdlite to flash it. Make sure you read a guide before doing it because some of them aren't downgradable.
[Defy General] p00lshark5:
All right, I never fully understood sbfs.... I have the original one from telus that's the sbf I should flash correct? I read there's custom sbfs which I have no idea why or what the difference is

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rygran87:
You can do that by default. The phone uses MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), which is used exclusively(I think) by Windows. It should mount as an external drive automatically, unless you have PTP checked instead which will mount it as a digital camera.

Ye, indeed the problem is that it doesn't mount automatically, so i'm here asking for help.

You will never get the GNex to mount via USB Mass Storage mode. It will only transfer files via MTP or PTP, or via ADB.

Proximity Screen Off didn't work too well with my Xperia S...it had a problem with immediately switching the screen right back on after it triggered a screen off. I'm using Smart Screen Off myself, which I think is the best one of these sensor on/off apps I've seen yet. It has a lot of options and seems to have a better calibration for your proximity sensor and gyroscope. Not only can you trigger your screen on and off with the proximity sensor, but you can also shake the phone to turn the screen on/off, and flip it over to turn the screen off. I'm using a hand wave to turn the screen on, combined with a screen off widget and the flip over motion for turning the screen off, and it works great.

I do wish somebody could make an app like PGM Nexus for Xperias, that is an amazing app that's sadly for the Galaxy Nexus only. You can turn on your screen by just swiping left to right on the screen, or double tapping on it with that app. Swiping right to left at the screen bottom turns the screen back off.
