So I've searched around and found that others have had this issue as well but no resolution yet. I am on a T-mobile Galaxy Tab 7 running Overcome 7 Series v 4.0 and I am unable to download apps larger than what appears to be about 25mb or larger. I keep getting an error saying that I have insufficient space available though I still have over 1gb of storage available. I ran into this issue while running Overcome Kratos as well.
Is anyone else still having this issue? If so, post here which version tab you have and what rom your running.
The problem lies in the new Android market place app. It is quite buggy from what I hear. A work around is to uninstall the update via the settings -> applications menu. This will revert you back to the old market place version.
Alternativly, I hear there are updates that you'd have to install manually that patch the bug.

I have tried both to no avail.
You can fix if you have root in you tab.
First download and install Bloat Freezer Free from the market.
With this you can freeze the Market Updater.
Later uninstall the new Market app.
Maybe it's something completely different.
I had quite the same problem ("database full, please delete some contacts/messages") and couldn't find anything.
UNTIL ... i got the idea to check the trash of the Samsung email client.
I used email via POP3 and "delete" doesn't delete a mail, it pushes it to the trash bin (which isn't shown by default).
So I found out that I had one year's email and SPAM blocking my database (which did not show in any tool.
Unfortunately (again) there's no "empty trash" option, so I deleted the POP3-user and am now using IMAP without any problems.
Perhaps this helps someone.
Any news on this? Just installed Overcome today and is experiencing this issue.
If you have clockwork recovery clear dalvik cache
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
The problem lies in the default cache partition, which is small. If you're rooted, here's a fix that worked for me.
prerequisites:
root
Script Manager (ads version works ok), or any Terminal app
1. run script manager and bring up the Console
2. Type ’su’ (minus the quotes. approve root permission request if it pops up)
3. Type ‘cd /’
4. Type ‘umount /cache’
5. Type ‘mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs rootfs /’ (set read write permissions)
6. Type ‘rmdir /cache’ (delete cache folder)
7. Type ‘mkdir /sdcard/cache’
8. Type ‘ln -s /sdcard/cache /cache’
(to link cache folder to /sdcard/cache for a bigger partition size)
now your cache will sit on the /sdcard/cache folder, so your cache size is as large as your sd card's free space. I just found this fix somewhere, i forgot where exactly but props o whoever came up with it.
This doesn't seem to stick after a reboot, so maybe you can write a script file and run that at boot using Script manager. I prefer to do it only before I have to install something big, which is not very often anyway, so just run the script when you have to so you can keep default settings at bootup.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
If you have a new Nook HD/HD+ and want to root and get the GAPPS running, you should follow the guide at the All-in-One thread instead. That said, I won't copy all the information here to there, so you should continue to read on.
Proof:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MssQ25bnZnk
Okay this one is more interesting than the root I created. I don't think there will be a simple batch file for this one. I barely get this working and I'm going to try to write instruction for the people. I guess let me start off with the same disclaimer.
Disclaimer:
If something gone wrong, it's all your fault. I take ZERO responsibility for what happen to your device, your life, your wife/husband, your kids, your unborn child and etc. You get the idea.
Background:
I basically taking the installation process from the Kindle Fire HD and apply it it here. The original instruction which I "borrow" from is here. For the most part, the process is the same, but we have to be extra careful for writing into /system partition or we are toast.
What I found:
Well, since we didn't have "UNKNOWN SOURCE" option, we have to adapt and fix that first. You can thanks skyhawk21 for coming up with that idea. Since then, there have been other way to enable Unknown Source. LeapinLar have wrote an excellent here. And I have make it even simpler here. Also, I have found that trying to install Google Play store after some other stuff already installed is kinda pain and brought some error. So I would strongly start this fresh. I mean factory reset and apply root. If you don't know how to gain root on the Nook HD+, I wrote an excellent piece for it here.
Hugh big caution
I did all my stuff based off my root method. I also noticed that verygreen updated his root. While there are some similarlity in our methods, THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCE ALSO. For example his root doesn't have a working superuser or he have busybox installed and symbolicly linked for all sub command. This mean the instruction I have may not work if you used his method to root.
Addendum 1: 11/19/[email protected]:50PM Pacific
I have been told that the first set of instruction is no longer necessary by leapinlar. This mean that if you only want the ability to install app via Google Play, you can do the first set of instruction and be done with it. But this means you won't be able to utilize the rest of Google's services. On the other hand, you can skip the first instruction and purely do 2nd instruction and get most of the stuff working. Well I say most because it doesn't include Google Maps and Chrome.
Addendum 2: 11/19/[email protected] Pacific
I have added Google Map below so you can download separately But Chrome Browser is like 20MB and over the filesize limit of the xda forum. Since most people don't use it, and there are many good alternative browser already, I won't bother. You can also look up both apk online if you want. they both should work on Nook. You don't have to make symbolic link on these two, but you can't have it on /system either. Either try install it via "adb install" command or open it using your favorite file browser. I forgot which method I use, probably the first.
Addendum 3: 11/30/[email protected]:25AM Pacific
I rewrite and hide unnecessary stuff and streamline the guide.
Addendum 4: 12/01/[email protected]:25PM Pacific
Adding gapps-ics-inst.sh.img which should be compatible for both my and verygreen root method.
Addendum 5: 12/02/[email protected] Pacific
Adding troubleshooting tips
Addendum 6: 12/04/[email protected]:45PM Pacific
Update with brand new easy to follow instruction.
Addendum 7: 12/07/[email protected] Pacific
The Google Map will no longer install as part of the script. I think Maps may not function properly if google framework weren't installed correctly first.
So, you will just have to install it manually after the Google Play updated.
EXTREMELY OUTDATED NOT FULLY WORKING Instruction is hidden since it's no longer necessary.
Instruction:
Optional, factory reset it. Seriously I cannot say this will work unless you start from scratch. If you already have rooted earlier, then install something like titanium backup and backup your porn(I mean data).
Gain root access. Follow this guide.
Follow my instruction here to enable "UNKNOWN SOURCE".
Upload 3 files to /data/su/ using "adb push" command
GoogleServicesFramework.apk - mediafire.com/?zaumfwhraxcifqf
Vending.apk - mediafire.com/?31bn3e258jjpj8d
Play.apk - mediafire.com/?wwcqrlfwt8o1gnv
If you have problem downloading this Play.apk I suggest try using this Vending_v3.9.17.apk instead. Be sure not to confuse with the earlier Vending.apk file, or better yet, rename it to something like Play3917.apk
adb install $your_choice_of_file_manager(must support root), I prefer ES File manager
using your file manager and browse to /data/su and install GoogleServicesFramework.apk (I'm not sure if you can just do adb install GoogleServicesFramework.apk from your PC, but since I didn't do it that way and this is a known result, so I recommend doing it this way)
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /data/su/Vending.apk /system/app/Vending.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/Vending.apk
chown 0.0 /system/app/Vending.apk
mount -o remount,ro /system (not sure if this is necessary, but I better safe than sorry)
using your file manager and navigate to /system/app and install Vending.apk
mount -o remount,rw /system (only if you did step 11)
rm /system/app/Vending.apk
mount -o remount,ro /system
using your file manager and go to /data/su and install Play.apk or Play3917.apk depending on what you download
now you can delete both GoogleServiceFramework.apk and Play.apk in the /data/su folder.
That's all, your Google Play Store should now be working.
Login and have fun. I manage to install some stuff through that.
Click the "THANKS" button below.
OK, now to get a more complete gapps. The below steps are to be only after you have Google Play Store, meaning all the above steps are done. The instruction below will let your other app sync and use google account. Meaning stuff like RSS reader sync with google reader or Youtube app access your personal account. Well, atleast those are the two I have tried and seem to be working.
OUTDATED Instruction:
Instructions:
Download these two files. gapps-ics-inst.sh.img and gapps-ics-system.zip (if you use verygreen root method use this gapps-ics-inst.sh.img , the one embedded on this post instead. This one should work universally but untested. I re-wrote it to adapt for verygreen root method also. If it works I'll rewrite this part of instruction again to use the new version of the shell script.)
adb push gapps-ics-inst.sh.img /data/su/gapps-ics-inst.sh
adb push gapps-ics-system.zip /data/su/
This step might take some time
adb shell
su
cd /data/su
chmod 755 gapps-ics-inst.sh
./gapps-ics-inst.sh
This step could take some time too, once it return to shell, then go to next step
(optional delete installation file to save space) rm gapps-ics-system.zip
(optional delete installation file to save space) rm gapps-ics-inst.sh
exit
exit
(you should be back to your OS by now, if not keep exiting until you are out of adb)
adb reboot
once your nook is rebooted, the screen may say updating some files, this is normal.
enjoy, everything should work now.
If you didn't hit that "THANKS" button, you better do now. If you did, do it again?
Thanks leapinlar for catching the typo, I have reupload the shell script file now. And thanks to him for hosting the gapps-system.zip
There have been some errors on my initial instruction. Certain things have been point out. I have updated the instruction accordingly. leapinlar have also fixed gapps files and the shell script for that in post #34. So big kudo to him. I haven't have much time to toy with this lately, but since people report that his script work. So here are the new instruction.
If you were using verygreen version of root, try running this first.
Code:
adb shell su -c "/data/su/busybox chown shell.shell /data/su"
FAQ:
Q: I don't see the Google Play Market on the list of apps.
A: If you use the "Skip OOBE" aka Test mode, then (reboot first or go into shell and kill the app launcher and then) you have to hold down the Vol-Up key and tap the word Apps on the top to see them. After that I recommend installing other launcher, then they can see all the apps.
Q: Some people are saying after they install an adblock app, after reboot it get into bootloop and wipe everything.
A: The way most adblock apps work is that they modify the hosts file which usually located at /system/etc/hosts Well, as we have discussed before this is not a good idea to make change directly to /system folder(directory). The only adblock I know of that work is AdAway with a specific setting.
When installed, first you have to go to menu > preferences > target hosts file > /data/data/hosts, it will then ask to create symbolic link, say yes and then you can reboot.
Troubleshooting Tips:
I had a little problem today, unrelated to the GAPPS install mod here. But the problem involved Google Play not working correctly. I kept getting Google Play error pop up. So, I use Titanium Backup ROOT to wipe the data and then uninstall all the apps which names start with Google. I'm not sure if this is enough, it might but I didn't want to take any chance. This maybe unnecessary but I did it anyway; I delete all the files that I created in the /data/su/system that have anything to do with google. Basically anything that was unzip there. Rebooted, then re-apply the same google mod here. And problem solved. I did have to re-login again, but yes I clear up that Google Play error.
Pre-Requisite:
ADB + ROOT + Enable Unknown Source.
1. ADB: leapinlar wrote a post to help you getting ADB to work here.
2. ROOT: I wrote a guide on how to get root the easy way here.
3. Enable Unknown Source: Again, I make an easy little tool for you here.
Brand New and Improve Instructions:
Download these three files. New.zip GoogleMaps.apk and gapps-ics-system.zip
Unzip New.zip (don't unzip gapps-ics-system.zip)
run install.bat
PS: Now I know how hard it's to write a guide in xda. Prop to all those dev that have been there b4 and after, especially the one I have use their works.
That's it, I'm going out to buy one ASAP. Thanks for your hard work!
thanks for you Howto
after that is it possible to use Youtube and Google Maps apps?
Youtube can be install from Play Store but you have to sideload the Google Maps since it's not available for download in Play Store. GMail works, but the authentication through google account on other apps still aren't working. I guess this problem may be beyond my current level of tinkering knowledge.
great job on getting google market somewhat working!!!! We need the manual nooter developer or author to make what we need for the Nook HD AND HD+. Anyhow I belwive you need more framework files to get google authentication working and unfortunately they need to be installed within root folders like the /system folders and sub folders... Also Barness and noble included frameworks for google authentication, probably just not working with google apps installed manually.... gotta figure it out...
---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------
By the way youtube app works installed older version from my Motorola Droid 3 manually through es file explorer and it works and does HD fine
I have been thinking about that and wonder if we can put those lib files on diff folder and sym link them? I still afraid it might reset the thing.

You probably shouldn't quote anything that big unless you very need to. As far as getting nook color tool to run, did you set the file to have proper permission, eg: chmod and chown the file? Your other option is factory reset and start from scratch. Sometime getting a clean slate to start with make things easiler to follow.
Thank you for the Google Play Store. It works great for me. I want to install Google Voice. Before I installed your framework apk, I was not able to get the credentials to come up. Now since installing that, it comes up with my Google credentials and tries to authenticate them. But immediately Android System force closes and the sign in screen just sits there. Any ideas on this one? This is the last thing I need to make this my everyday device.

I'm thinking about that right now but as I suggested, putting the google lib in other place and make symbolic link in the appropriate /system sub. I won't be able to test that theory of mine until I get home later tonight. I will have to research where all the files suppose to go and their permission. Unless you want to do it, you are welcome to.
I agree, getting authentication would be tha last missing link to make this device fully enjoyable as day-to-day usage. And the we can wait for custom ROM from real developers. That is definitely out of my knowledge.
works without full reset
figured i'd put it out there that i DID NOT do a full factory reset (partly to be a guinea pig, partly because i'm lazy) and this method DOES WORK without it. It took 2 tries (it loaded up the first time, then crashed a few minutes later.) the second time it worked like a charm. One note: the chown command gave me an "operation not permitted" notice, but the market IS working, i grabbed a TON of apps and thankfully got updates to the ones i purchased through the nook shop that hadn't seen an update since they first launched (i'm looking at you, machinarium).
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your work on this! I can access the Google Play Store along with the Amazon App Store now and have loaded up my new Nook with my favorite apps. My only disappointment is that I still can't get Amazon Instant Video or Google Play Movies to work...once these work I'll be in heaven!

BTW, I got that working now, my theory works. Now only if I have a place to store 60+MB file. Then I can update this guide to include that. I was able to use Youtube app to access my account and so is my RSS reader to sync with google reader.
Access Denied
I'm getting an error when I try to execute ./gapps-inst.sh. It's saying cannot execute - Permission denied. I've rooted and followed the instructions to install Google Play and all worked fine...I'm on this last step and it won't work! Advice is much appreciated!! I also keep having permission denied issues with the adb push command...I can paste the files manually via ES File Explorer and rename to remove the .bin but I still can't install from adb shell.
I've also tried chmod 777 on the gapps-inst.sh prior to doing ./gapps-inst.sh but that produces a giant string of errors.
I'm at a loss!

I just rehosted your files on my MediaFire account.
Removed links. New links on OP.
Alright, so I have no idea what Nook HD/HD+ thread to put this is in... so here i go.
1. Will these steps get the play store on the Nook HD as well?
2. Will the apps show up in the Nook app section, or do we still need a launcher. I have sideloaded all my apps, but have to use a launcher to get at them.
Thanks!

There is are a couple of typos in your gapps-inst.sh file -
Code:
ln -s /data/su/system/usr/srec/en-US/google_hotword_clg /system/usr/en-US/google_hotword_clg
ln -s /data/su/system/usr/srec/en-US/google_hotword_logistic /system/usr/en-US/google_hotword_logistic
are missing the /srec in the second /system link.
Also it seems the real /system has these files so the symlinks fail.

Hi,
I've a Chinese version of the Samsung Galaxy Y SCH-i509 that doesn't come with any Google app/services/framework as it's always the case with Chinese versions of Android. My goal was to install these Google app/services/framework so here's what I tried:
I transfer via USB the Google Installer (谷歌应用下载器) apk to the SD card and installed it. Via the Google Installer, I install Gmail and Play store. You get the message that the Google Service Framework needs to be installed but the installation fails.
I manually transfer via USB the GoogleServicesFramework apk to the SD card and try to copy/paste it via ES File Explorer to /system/app but it fails, saying "unable to write the source file".
I root the phone following this tutorial. I check that the phone is rooted via RootValidator: OK.
I install the mount /system (rw /ro) apk and select "Mount r/w"
In ES File Explorer, I check the properties of the folder /system/app: the folder is "Writable".
I try to copy/paste the GoogleServicesFramework apk via ES File Explorer to /system/app but it fails, saying "unable to write the source file".
I don't understand why.
At this point, I'm thinking to look for a custom ROM to install but can't find any on Internet for my model of phone.
I also can't find the Chinese stock ROM.
The related information I found about this phone is always for Indonesian or Indian versions, not for the Chinese one.
Can someone help me to achieve what I want, i.e being able to write in /system/app in order to copy/paste the GoogleServicesFramework apk? Or suggesting me an English custom ROM?

Flashing through CWM sounds like a good idea. However, I don't know how to install CWM and need your advise. I installed the ROM Manager app on the phone. When I launch it for the 1st time, it asks me to install CWM. But at the "Confirm Phone Model" step, the app proposes me a list of phones but not mine. So I click on "Device Not Listed Above" under "Unsupported Device" and I get the message "SCH-i509 does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet. Have you installed a ClockworkMod based recovery manually?". I click "No" and get the message "Sorry! Until ClockworkMod recovery is available, ROM Manager will not work with SCH-i509!"
Is there another way for me to install CWM Recovery? If yes, can you advise me?

Actually I didn't know this feature! So I turned it on and here's the results:
The rights shown on the list view are "drwxr-xr-x"
When I click on Properties, the Owner, Group and Other have Read and Execute rights but only Owner has Write right. When I tick Write rights for Group and Other, I get the message "Sorry operation failed". The Owner and Group is "root".
Any advise regarding the info provided?

OK, so I've got 5.0 on my N10, and I'm rooted. Two problems I'm having regarding F-Droid and AdAway:
- After installing F-Droid, no applications display in the F-Droid "Available" list.
- Since I couldn't install AdAway through F-Droid, I installed the apk, and get this error trying to enable blocking: " Not enough space on partition! Try changing the target hosts file in preferences to /data/data/hosts". I changed the host file location as indicated, then when I tried again I got a "Symlink missing" error: "Symlink from your target to /system/etc/hosts is not existing or incorrect! AdAway will not work if it is not pointing to the right file"
So- I'm guessing both of these apps will need updates to be useful with 5.0? Anyone have an AdAway success story?
P.S. One bit of good news: Muzei now works on my N10. I could never get it to work on KitKat.

---------- Post added at 07:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------
Ok it seems I've fixed by deleting an app under /system/app. I chose an unused keyboard and then re installed adaway and busybox. Then it worked
There's indeed critically low free space. Can't even install busybox after rooting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-10/help/5-0-lack-free-space-install-busybox-t2939729
The trick with deleting apps from /system/app works obviously, until you decide to accept new OTA.
Yeah I know. I will crosss that bridge when I get there
Just couldn't live without adaway.
For the time being, I'm solving it by CWM tar+gzip backup of stock (deleting data.* from backup folder (to save the space)) and deleting some of the apps (like Korean keyboard etc.). When OTA comes, I'll restore the /system partition and proceed with update.
I'd like to know a better solution though... If there is any.
Are there any partition resizers available for Android? Or would it require an Fdisk delete and create?

Mr. Khaon, happy Friday - I found this thread from a google search after i downloaded F-Droid and it was shooting blanks - nothing.
Would you mind provided some additional detail on the "easy workaround" you mentioned? i.e. what "help" should I read, which settings do you change the path, etc.
Thanks.

just go to the settings and under hosts file you check for host files target path and you select another one where you can write( /data for example)
Yesterday, I installed PhoenixOS v2.5.9.375 on an old laptop, and I must say that I really like the Android experience on a laptop that I thought was too old to be good for anything. One problem that I am having though is that I cannot update Google Play Services which is preventing some of the GApps that I want to use from working. I tried using the instructions in this thread to fix the problem, but sadly they do not work with this version of the OS, and I get an error message saying "App not installed" when I try to fix it this way. I also so this, which looked promising until I learned that it requires a dual boot into Windows, and I am using PhoenixOS exclusively on my laptop, meaning that this is ruled out as an option.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am having the same issue with my Google Play Services, but the one I provided in the thread works with Google Play Games at least. I wonder why Phoenix OS comes with version number beginning with 070... This version is for x86 and for Android 4.0+ nodpi (according to apkmirror). Shouldn't Phoenix OS come with 270 or 480 since Phoenix OS 64-bit runs on Android 7.1.1 (32-bit runs on 5.1)? If so, my instinct is telling me that we have to forcefully install the updated Google Play Services (probably along with Google Play Store and Google Services Framework) to get it working correctly. This cold probably be done with root, so at least we know we can fully root the OS and work our way from there.
I have that problem also before... I downloaded the updated Google Play service in apkmirror, tried to manually installed it but still it wont install... But what I did in order to fix it is first to disable the Play Service on the App Settings and then I use Root Explorer to locate the location of the Gplayservice which is /system/priv-app/GmsCore. so what I did i rename the GPlayService that I downloaded into GmsCore.apk and then replace the app on /system/priv-app/GmsCore and change permission to "rw-r-r". and re-enabling back the GPlayService on that App Settings and reboot.... at Viola its fix... now I dont have an error on it anymore...

If this really works, then I will update my thread. What variant and version did you download? Can you provide a bit more information?
Thank you for the info, this looks very promising, please could you let us know which version you downloaded
Hi all,
This is how I got it working, several ways actually:
Using the toolkit http://bbs.phoenixstudio.org/en/showthread.php?tid=9661
Extract the system.img from the downloaded installation EXE or copy the system.img from your install directory
Make sure you download the GAPPS7.1 in the above post and put it in the \tools directory of the toolkit
Follow the toolkit to unpack/update GAPPS/repack
Copy the system.img back to your installed directory (C:\PhoenixOS)
Hacking it yourself
Download the latest GAPPS 7.1 PICO
Replace the APK in the GAPPS package over the ones installed on your PhoenixOS
Does this method require you to have a dual boot setup? Because I don't.
Android PC tool works!!
Used the PC tool and it worked flawlessly. On another note i have been trying to tinker with the OS and found out that the system cannot be mounted as r/w. Tried the command
Code:
su mount -o rw,remount /system
which gives me /dev/loop0 is write-protected mounting read-only. Is there any way fix to this.

Hi, I put the gapps in the tools directory, but I don't understand what you mean by follow the toolkit to unpack/update GAPPS/ repack. Am I supposed to make those folders? When I go to the unpack folder, just my system image is in there.
