[Q] [CM7RC1] App Installation Issues

A week or so ago, I flashed "CyanogenMod-7.0.0-RC1-Liberty" from Rom Manager.
Ever since then, I've been having some issues when installing apps from the Market. Sometimes, installation will fail, giving me the message "Insufficient Storage Space". I checked my settings, and I have quite a bit of space left.
Has this been an issue for anyone else, and does anybody have a solution?

I wouldn't use rom manger at all. Doesn't sometimes work with the aria. Flash rom using your Clockwork recovery. That's a much trusted way.

Oh, really?
I guess I've been doing it wrong all along.
So should I reflash manually?

Yes, I would wipe and reflash from clockwork. Get to it by holding the down volume button while turning on the phone and selecting recovery.

Thanks.
And by "wipe" do you include wiping the delvik cache?

do the wipe data/factory reset in clockwork, then in advanced, wipe dalvik cache.
wiping the cache isn't always required, but it won't hurt you.

what does wipe cache partition and cache dalvik do?

Do they actually delete any physical data?
Whats the differences between the two really?
Please advice
with friendly greet

The cache partition stores temp data and downloads from the market and htc hub. And the dalvik cache is created by the dalvik vm, its used so android can run apps with optimal bytecode. If you wipe the dalvik cache, the dalvik vm will rebuild it on boot

grrr ... first time i dont do a full backup before updating and im stuck on the boot animation .... not rebooting, just the animation going on and on and on ... waited 20 mins before taking the battery out. tried several times and managed to get into android but then SPB hung on a blank screen and i couldnt do anything !
battery out again and tried reflashing (again) - this time wiping the cache first ... 10 mins and still boot animation
anyone got any thoughts before i give up and revert to a month old backup ?
ignore - wrong thread ... ADMIN remove ?

[Q] Error wiping dalvik cache

So, i am in the process of changing roms on my iconia, i restore factory defaults, wipe the cache, wipe battery status, and then clear the dalvik cache. when I go to wipe the dalvik cache, i get E:unkown volume for path [/sd-ext]. It proceeds to wipe the dalvik cache and i get no errors when reflashing my rom (taboony) or installing villans custom kernel. It flashes everything correctly but when I load my iconia, i get a fc when loading super user. I reinstalled iconia root which temporaroly fixed my fc, but after reboot again i get fc when loading su and no fix. Any idea whats happening and how I can fix it. Sorry about the typos here, using a netbook and have sore wrists.

The Error message you get is no problem because you dont have an ext Partition on you SD card. And if there is no ext Partition the recovery will not find it and gives you this message so dont worry about this.
Because of superuser: Go to Rom Manager and choose "fix permissions" and let it do its thing. Normaly this helps with FCs.
If this does not help. Go to settings - applications - manage applications - search for superuser and delete all Data at superuser app.
I hope it helps.

Sure thing fixed permissions solved my fC issue. Thanks much

[Q] About installing CM7 Nightly builds

Hey guys just a quick question about installing nightly builds on the nook. When Rom Manager asks whether to wipe data/cache and what not, if I select it, will it wipe the internal memory completely? leaving no user files behind? or will it only wipe the system files?

It will wipe everything and it will be a fresh install.

If you update, just wipe cache

It wipes the /data partition but doesn't wipe /sdcard /sd-ext or /met/emmc.

Just wipe Davlik.

if boot is longer than normal after wipe, it's normal!

Note: wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache are 2 different things.
+ wipe cache is a quick way to clean the current running ROM
+ wipe Dalvik is a completely clean.
After wipe Dalvik, next time it boots, it will take a lot longer time due to the device has to re-compile the whole thing before ROM start running and booting.

I think I need to drop a few lines about wipe cache/Dalvik.
As I posted above, I said it wiped clean.
Apparently, I am NOT 100% correct.
I just updated to nb198, wiped cache (formatting /cache) then wipe Dalvik cache.
After done updating ROM, booting up, I expected everything clean, completely fresh.
It's not the case, I went to Market and all old search history were still shown. Not only with Market but other apps too.
So
a. either wipe cache/Dalvik is NOT completely clean wipe or
b. it was completely clean but somehow, those old cache info, which stored somewhere I don't know, get automatically restored back.

Okay, I did a quick read of the FAQ for CWR, and came across these:
Wipe cache partition
Wipes the cache partition of the device to clear all the data accumulated there over use. This is often used before installing a new ROM, app, kernel or any similar mod via recovery.
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Allows you to wipe the cache for the Dalvik virtual machine (the custom-built Java virtual machine for Android).This is required before most ROM installations and at other occasions too, for fixing some problems.
So, I'm taking this guide on board and will wiping Cache AND Davlik. So that's two steps prior to installing a new CM7 nightly build.

You didn't happen to store them in uSD card? Or perhaps app data/cache are separate from system data/cache...
Will look into it further...

[Q] Wipe data necessary???

Hi everybody! I have got a question, can I do only wipe cache & wipe dalvik cache when I pass from White rabbit(CM7 modified) to CM9?? Just to not installing all apps

Full wipe is recommended.

Definitely full wipe needed or else you will encounter some issues

Questions go in the Q&A section

As u are shifting major versions of CM u need to do a factory reset too.
1.Wipe data
2.Factory Reset(U ll loose everything. Except the SD card content)
3.Wipe Cache partition
Then flash the ROM.
It is recommanded in Defy update guide for CyanogenMod.
