Just learned this today actually Figured I might as well share. Applications often keep a large cache under /data/data/. Unfortunately many of them do not provide a way to clear the cache without clearing at the same the configuration parameters for the app. (You can clear the whole data in Settings->Applications->Manage applications.)
Using ADB... In terminal emulator or whatever type this command:
df datadata
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If there's barely any free space that's your cause of your force closes. An easy way to fix that would be to go through your apps and clear all the data/cache.
You can find which applications use most space with:
du -sk /data/data/* | sort -rn | head
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Also there's an app called Cache Cleaner NG. Clears all your app cache for you
Excellent post!

Does clearing cache and delvik in cwm do the same?

Tried this out as I'm having really poor performance using the Twitter app on Super Clean ROM , but alas, 1 GB free. Should be more than enough.

Anything I download on the market gets stuck at the "starting download" phase. I have tried Googling answers and nothing is working for me.
My market was fine before I applied the OTB test4 ul 1300 then updated back to my OTB 1.1 lv 1200 , which was stable for me, due to freezing issues with that test4. Any help would be greatly appreciated. . .

Try clearing data/cache for the market.
Did you uninstall Google talk services or anything else similiar besides the actual app? Because that breaks the market downloading.

I used to have this problem all the time and it seemed like it was something different that fixed it on each occasion. Try clearing all market data and cache. Try backing up the APK, uninstalling it, and again clearing data/cache before replacing it. At the worst, use Titanium Backup and start over from scratch.

Ahh crap guys... I'm at work and yeah I've tried clearing the cache. I didn't uninstall anything recently either... what's this APK? I could teach myself how to do what the last poster said if I was pointed in the right direction.
Much love

My market is currently broken too with the exact same situation... I have reflashed the ROM and Kernel with no luck... And have also messed with cleaning the cache... I cant download Titanium backup currently from the market and I'm out of energy to try that until the morning but any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
I often have problems with this but I find that being on wifi really helps. If that's not available then if I start then stop the download it eventually will go through.

vending.apk -- the application file itself which is located in /system/app/. You can back it up by using the adb pull command if you're familiar with adb, or just copy it to your phone's SD card using Root Explorer or terminal commands.

When I exit dolphin, it gives me the option to clear the cache, which I usually do....
Do you have a lot of apps running on the phone? What ROM are you using? (just trying to gain background info).
Ya if you're rooted, I'd recommend wiping dalvik cache periodically. You can also download cache mate and wipe all cache with a single click.
Hi Guys I need some help today my streak stop installing the app from the Market.Today I try to Update two app from the Market looks like the app is downloading but don't install My Streak is using froyo 319 and have Market v.2.3.4. some help guys
Troubleshooting the Android market
Try clearing the cache for the market, and if that does not work clear the data.
Had the same problem (froyo 318) with more recent apps that are bigger then 20MB. Fast forward provided above troubleshooting to "Unmount SD Card". That worked for me.

If you have this problem and are trying to install FROM your SD card (not the market), you can use ADB
adb install [filename thats saved inside your adb directory].apk
problem solved!

so why do we even need to wipe it than?
Dalvik cache isn't on that directory that has the error. Its a seperate section that still gets wiped. The other directory would probably have something to do with it if it existed. In any case just ignore it

usually a simple reboot, solve the issue. if not try these:
- Clear the cache of the Google Play Store app
- Uninstall updates to the Google Play Store app
- Clear the Download Manager cache and data
- Clear the Google Services Framework cache and data
- Reboot
