Free up some space and try again - Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am now getting this error whatever apk I try and install regardless how many apps I uninstall.
Can anyone help?
My tab has a stock rom but is rooted and is wifi only.

Factory reset

Surely not?!
However, If that is the only answer, an explanation would be nice as a factory reset seems a little extreme don't u think?

You probably have to go into either;
- /system/app/; or
- /data/app/directory and delete the odex file that has the same name.
Example: If you cannot install Titanium Back Up. Navigate to /data/app/ and find titanium.odex. Remove it and now you can install titanium.
Hope it help :fingers-crossed:

I already saw that solution elsewhere but doesn't work. I cant install any app apart from some.

This might sound stupidly simple but, are you sure you just aren't low on space from music or movies, etc...?

Come on mate. Give me some credit.

I kinda figured it would be a given, but I thought I'd throw it out there

Do factory Reset and through CWM Recovery Restore your setting and Apps from NAND Backup (if only you created one).. :laugh:

ok guys - just sorted it.
i installed app2sd at some point and i think i was trying to get it to install by default to my sd card. problem is that the old tab 7.7 doesnt support installing to sd. So what was happening it was just giving me a no error message. i used Super manager 3 to default back to the device memory, rebooted and all ok now.
sorry for my stupidity. but shame on the amount of users telling me to do a factory reset - thank god i didnt listen to y'all!!

i have same issue
with this help , i resolve it

**** happens

I faced the same problem with my Xperia ZR after playing with Link2SD.
Fixed it with starting the terminal and typing:
Code:
su
pm set-install-location 1
pm get-install-location
Resut is 1[internal], and the apps are now installing.

Problem parsing package

In trying to install the YouTube apk on my android tablet. There's a pre loaded YouTube app on it but I think its causing a problem. Every time I try to install it it says ' there was a problem parsing the package'. Can someone help?

Do you have the logcat of what the Package Manager said?
That error is usually caused when the download isn't complete, I.e. the file is not proper...
That said, if you were sideloading the app, and you believe that you have the complete file (.apk), then you can uninstall the original app, and place the new app in system/app, give appropriate permissions and reboot...
You need root acces for the abobe, and the method in general is referred to as the root explorer method...

So I need to give it root access and then try to install the apk again but in the system app section? And to add there is this app on there called "video player" it basically functions like the Google YouTube app but not as good. But sometimes when I go to see the not-yet-installed YouTube apk on my SD card it has the "video player" icon. I don't have any problem with sideloading any other apk on there so could that be the problem?

For some reason some app doesnt work for me too, so i get problem parsing package . I used to have parsing package problem with flash player on my atrix4g then after some time i installed it and it worked good im not sure if its coz they fixed anything thro updates or it just coz i made some changes into my device i still can't download google books on it but my friend who has the same device and android version can. what im trying to say is you could try older versions of the app or if you really need it you can install custom rom , btw i can't install youtube either on my atrix i still work with an old version that came with the stock .

Generic youtube app provided by manufacturer causing OFFICIAL one to never install. *simplified*
How old is the atrix? Sounds strange if you cant even install google books. Maybe that could be a problem with the phone, not just older software.

PRoblem with lost photos/videos on GT2-P5100, 4.0.3.

Hi all.
Like in topic, I've got GAlaxy Tab 2 with 4.0.3. I didn't make backup before updating him to 4.1.2 and i lost a lot of photos and videos (really important files for me). Now tablet is clean, I didnt make any new images. Is there a chance to get them back? If someone can help me with this
I'll be really happy.
I tried Dr. Fone for Android, but this GT2 has no mass storage mode option and is not visible to this software. There is no problem to root tablet to make this option visible.
Plz tell me what should I install and how to do it.
Thx in advance.

No new app updates after root

Recently I've rooted my two phones but ever since then, I haven't received any updates for my apps, I've closed and opened to google playstore from day to day just to see but there haven't been any new app updates. Before I rooted, I would get then several times just a day. I'm not sure what's going on
Check ur rooting is ok by downloading root validator app. And if its ok. Sign in ur google accout again n enter playstore.
Sent from my GT-S5302 using xda app-developers app
I ran the app and my root is ok, but as for signing out and back in, do I go about this by going into the settings > accounts > google > remove google account? or is there another way?
U can remove it n add again. Then go to playsstore app. And they will ask a permission accept it. This will be the simple first try.

Tried it, but it didn't work.
if u cant see the update used this steps
1) u can clear DATA/CACHE of
'playstore' and 'Google service
framework' in setting then reboot ur phone
and then try.
May be ur apps all uptodates now. If u have problem updating the app after rooting this may be a superuser problem that cant fix the signature.
if u see the update n get error on upadating app used this steps
1. 1)using root explorer or any root acces file manager, go to data/app folder and see if
u have any .ODEX file pertained to
those app/apps which r giving u
trouble in update vide store's and
delete the same, and then try
updating.
2. Used superuser update fxer to fix signature.
PLIS PRESS THANK IF I HELP U SOMEHOW.

Hello!
I think with root You will able to clean the bloatware from You device! Type in google search: ,.ME173X root" There must be tutorials how to root Your device! Or sometimes it's recommended to clean the memory if You have a task manager on You device! If there isn't. In settings You can find the running processes and You will be able to ,,kill" the processes what uses a lot of RAM.
I hope I could help You!

A tip: I always used Titanium Backup pro/free to remove the factory bloatware and that was always successful! But be careful do not remove the system apps because Your device easily can be unstable! For example: It won't boot as You said.
And the most important thing! Always create a backup before remove apps, if You don't You won't be able to restore the removed app.

Thanks for the tip. Yeah i really wanna root but im kinda worried it may happen again . Dont know if it was because of the deleting system apps. My brother said he deleted the default launcher. When i was using the tablet it always said "Unfortunately the Launcher has stopped." So Im not sure if its becuase of this or it was becuase i rooted it.

Willingly! If You root Your device there is a small chance to brick it, but if You know how to restore the original stock ROM there's no need to panic! That was a big mistake to delete the home laucnher. I don't blame You. Your Brother did it. As You said ,,Unfortunately the Launcher has stopped" error message appeared because You device wanted to start the launcher again ,but the launcher has been removed from Your device. If You doing the removing carefully Youre device must working perfectly!
