For compatibility issues: Must have root. I use esfile explorer3. you must be in edit mode. You can do it with ROM toolbox pro as well.

system > build.prop > ro.product.model > change to nexus 7

system > build.prop > ro.product.brand > change to google

You'll need to save or say "ok" if you're using rom toolbox.

reboot.

' i have this amount of space available to use:

internal=24.9gig free of 26.9gig

sd card=27.1gig free of 31.2gig

i just tried to install the latest titanium backup after, i hope, uninstalling the version i already had installed (it wouldn't update 'over the top'). i keep getting the message of being out of space. could someone explain why i get that message and what i need to do now, please?

not had any replies so far to request above. isn't anyone able to offer some advice please?

TIA

I only have the 8 GB US Sero 7 Pro and haven't encountered that error. You might try installing the app called DiskUsage. It will show you exactly how much space you have and what is taking up space. I personally keep my TB files on the SD card. I've had TB wig out before and had to uninstall then reinstall. I had TB setup to automatically discover old backups and it worked without a hitch. Have you tried installing something else to see if it gave you the same error?

hi. tnx for reply, kngdmond. when you say you keep your TB files on the SD card, i assume you mean the files created by TB? i am getting the error message just trying to install the app.

i wondered if perhaps the uninstall has gone wrong for the older version i had. is there a specific way to uninstall it that i messed up on? otherwise, with all that supposed space on internal and external places, what the hell is it saying there isn't any for?

i am a complete noob with android stuff, but i cant understand this

sorry. should have said i have the UK Sero7
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kngdmond:
Yes I keep the files that TB creates in a custom folder on the SD card just in case something happens to the tablets storage.

Goto Google store and try to install a free app. See if a different app gives you the out of space message. If it does not and the app installs then you know the issue lies with TB.

Goto settings - apps then navigate to all. Find TB and click on it. Click on force stop, clear cache, clear data, then uninstall. Then retry to install the app.

i just went to the place you said on the tablet and i cant find TB, so assume i did uninstall it correctly. i then tried to reinstall it again and got the same 'out of space' message.

at the bottom of the page on the tablet where i selected 'ALL' when looking for TB to uninstall, it says 1.9gig used 25gig free. i have TB in the 'downloads' folder on the tablet. should it be in a different place to be able to install it?

well i dont know what is going on here. i just uninstalled some games which totaled about 100meg. i managed then to install an earlier version of titanium backup. i then it updated over the top. that worked, so i uninstalled it again, and installed the latest version on it's own. that installed ok and then so did the couple of games! surely that means it couldn't have been a space error that was the problem. so i am back to wondering what the error message was really about. i am still told i have 25gig of space

CIFS?

I did a search, and in over 200 pages not a single instance of "CIFS" or "CIFS.KO"!

Does anyone know if this kernel/ROM have cifs support? XBMC using SMB doesn't always work on my network (windows domain), while cifs works flawlessly when supported. I heard there's some issue with newer android versions and cifs, but I just don't know if it applies here. If it makes a difference, I just read that the Nexus 7 running 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 can do cifs, and these Hisense 7's i have are running 4.1.1

Thanks for any info!

still dont know what was going on with my UK rSero7. i even installed some extra games today, just to see if i got the 'out of space' error message again. but nothing. weird!

anyway, tnx to you, kngdmond, for trying to help. appreciated.

next question is, is there an app2sd app now that works on the UK Sero7, does anyone know? it would be handy to be able to shovel some bits over to the card if i ever need to.

I'm having this same issue. I had the problem with clearly enough storage space. I could not download any app from google play. After searching endless hours and trying suggested - deleting cache/dalvik in recovery, deleting cache from apps manager. No results. I finally just flashed the ROM again, which resolved the issue.

I then installed links2sd and got all the apps that could be linked linked. a week later, here I am with the same Issue. NOTHING I do will resolve the issue, except reflashing the ROM. Which I really don't want to do AGAIN.

any help would be appreciated. It's not a storage issue.

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

I'm having this same issue. TWICE. Before I installed and starting using links2sd, and now after I started using it. I clearly have enough storage room but can not download or update anything. (occasionally a small app will update) BTW, it's not just google play, it's any app from anywhere. The first time I resolved the issue re flashing the ROM. I really don't want to do that again.

I hope someone can help resolve this issue, because using links2sd is not the answer.

so it seems it isn't just me that's having this issue, then.

is it only on UK Sero7 Pro tablets or US etc ones as well?

it seems a bit strange that there is so much space internally as well as on SD card and neither is recognised as having enough.

i am assuming that flashing a different rom makes no difference? (never done that anyway, so would be very worried about trying that)

it appears that the only solution atm is to manually move stuff needed or wanted on to the SD card into 'storage folders'. obviously not the answer so if anyone does find a solution, those of us having the problem would be extremely grateful.

This is isn't a storage issue. And not rom related, as I am running the DoPa v1.1 . This is an android issue. Do a google search for "insufficient storage space" You'll see it happens to many-often.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Prettygrim:
tnx for the info, kc12. i am assuming that the info referred to, although is for an android phone, applies just as much to android tablets? this is a bit frustrating then. as it appears to be quite a long term issue, i wonder why it has not been corrected? i didn't know, i must admit, that this was the case and it seems rather short sighted to keep putting various builds of the android system out without correcting a known bug like this.

dont know about anyone else but, after removing bits from my Sero to eventually allow TB to install, i could carry on, as far as i could tell, and install other stuff as i wanted. i did install some other games, just as a trial, and i didn't have the issue any more. whether it will reoccur if there is an update to TB, i obviously dont know at the moment, but will monitor and post back. i will also look at the info about the methods to get rid of the error message, maybe try them. i am not confident with playing with android though, so am very wary in case i screw up and cant recover. easy to say just do this and all back, but when you are new and not tried stuff, very hard to have the confidence. anyway, will see what happens

ok. so i looked in the settings part of LuckyPatcher, found the 'Troubleshooting' option and hit it. it then says:

Install SuperSU (ICS)

Update Busybox

however, i already have Busybox Pro and SuperSU Pro installed but neither show in the LuckyPatcher list of files. what to do now? forget the LP method and try one of the other 2 or what?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kc12:
See if these instructions help any : http://www.techfreestyle.com/io

I can't install the Lucky Patcher. I can't install anything, so that option doesn't work for me. I even put it on my exsdcard and tried installing from there. Can't do it, I just keep getting the error "free up some space and try again".

I'm not comfortable at the moment following steps 2 or step 3. I'm hoping someone comes up with a better solution. I'm going to do some more research.... I'll get back to you.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Prettygrim:
from what you're saying, kc12, it would seem i was lucky. when i removed some of the apps i had and a couple of games, things (wherever they are) were happy and i was able to install TB as described above. it is very frustrating that after removing things to get down to about 1.8gig of used internal space, i could carry on and reinstall what i wanted. i must say though that i haven't gone mad. i did go to 2.0gig of used internal space and didn't get the error again. however, i just cant see it carrying on like that. i dont have that sort of luck!

anyone able to advise now on what steps i should take, following on from my previous post, #2124, please?

just to add as well that the option to 'remove fixes and backups' doesn't show. i assume it's because it wants to do the other bits. this leads to another problem of how to get lucky patcher to recognise the two apps it wants to update or whatever, as being there already and not needing to be updated?

R u sure u don't have some CWM or TWRP backups on ur internal or external sdcard s... Because I know for CWM it doesn't store the backups in clockwormod folder anymore it's in data/media or somewhere... Also TB sometimes puts backups in different spots on different Roms. Anyways go into ur settings/storage/ and then click on some things like Misc. And etc. And see if something is weird in there and delete things that aren't needed! Also try going into lost + found in data/ and in system/ make sure those r empty and also try going into recovery CWM and cleaning unused backup space and delete any backups that R old or unneeded! Also clear any temp folders and app caches!

Just My 2 cents

what i am really surprised at is how long this problem appears to have been happening, how long Google have been aware of the problems it causes and either haven't bothered to fix it or at least tell everyone that it is unable to fix it!

this may not be a particularly big deal to all those of you out there who are well conversant with android, but to the likes of myself, who is only just coming into the whole android thing, it's a bit worrying. getting an error or this sort when the amount of free space, both internally and externally, is far in excess of what any sane person would consider 'insufficient storage space' immediately makes you think all the bad things possible have happened. come on Google, get this problem sorted once and for all instead of doing your usual trick of trying to brush everything you want to ignore under the carpet! and while you're at it, put the security features back in that you just took out with the 4.4.2 update!!

I need to find out what is causing this.'

A couple hours ago I flashed a nandroid I had from November 30th. It made no difference. Still getting the "insufficient space" error when I try to download or update apps.

I don't use titanium backup, I use rom toolbox pro. if you scroll up a few posts you can see the photos of my storage and how much I have in the system.

Has anyone else encountered the inability to play Google play movies? I'm using XE's original rooted ROM. Anytime I try to play any content, paid for or free, I get "Couldn't fetch license (error 400) Touch to retry." I've researched the error and all I come with is Google blocks rooted devices. But the odd thing is movies play just fine on my rooted GS3 running AOKP 4.3. I tried an app called Hide My Root and that didn't seem to work. Any suggestions? Thanx in advance.
