I have just installed Blisspop rom and trying to install TKGapps. I have tried to install Full, mini and micro. I get not enough space to install and to run gapps-config.
How can I just clean out the /system/app folder so I can reinstall Bliss and then Gapps?
Is there a way to format the whole thing to remove everything, then reinstall Bliss (5.1.1) and gapps?
There is no way that I'm full up I have 12.28GB of space but it tells me that I don't. I'm getting really irritated.
Thanks in advance.
I'd advice go to recovery, clean everything, reinstall rom, then gapps
Otherwise, use file explorer to see if you"ve got the rom zip in internal (would take **** loads of storage)

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I have gone into recovery, done a full wipe, Cache, system, data, internal storage. I have also did the factory reset.
Then I flash said Rom, and then try to install Gapps. That's when the error come up in recovery installing gapps that not enough room in system to install and to use gapps-config to modify or remove unwanted programs.
I have used file manager to access root/system/app folder however im not sure what is safe to remove without causing havoc.
I will try your suggestion and get back.
Didyou do dalvik/ART too?

Hi,
I just did a clean install of CM7 (wiped system, data, cache). Everything works perfectly. However in File Manager I can still see epub ebooks I have from a previous install, a B&N Downloads folder, an adobe digital editions file, ...
How do I get rid of these as part of the clean install process? I mean, I can connect the Nook to my PC and manually delete them, but is there a way to wipe these before installing a new ROM?
Thanks a lot!
Paul
No help with this after three months?
The only additional information is that before my clean install I had swapped the sd card and emmc (per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034939).
I would manually delete anything you don't want with root explorer. Do this once, and you don't have to worry about it. Possibly format the areas it's in. I don't like to do this unless it's really necessary.

You have to do it manually. Wiping the data with CWR only wipes the data folder.
i have met a problem when i do my rom with kitchen 0.182. recovery1.31...
after i finish and built on my device with wipe data and cache
it remind my there is no enough space in phone memory for install apk.
clear chache via settings or manually via root explorer
Some roms require a full wipe/factory reset before installing. Of course that will delete all apps including the one that I bought. Do I need to buy them again?
Also, will the 'titanium backup' backups the destop settings (i.e., the app shortcuts created on main screen)?

Some launchers let you backup icon placements and such on the home screen. Also, as long as you use the same Google account you originally bought stuff from Google Play with on your new ROM or any other devic, you can download it again for free. Also Titanium Backup is an incredible app that will backup apps settings as well, so if you are thinking of getting it, go for the paid version, it's worth a least 4 times as much as it costs.

Thanks for the reply. I bought TitaniumB already. But, if I do a full wipe, I actually also delete the Titanium app and the file it backuped, didn't I?

Not if you leave the "sdcard" partition alone. You can wipe data and keep that data (which has your TB info) intact. Same goes for any backups/nandroids you performed with TWRP or CWR.

It might be a stupid question, but What is TB short for? Also, the Nexus 7 only has one internal 'sdcard', by partition, did you mean that I could set many partitions like what we do under windows (i.e., C: , D: , E: ) ?
TB is titanium backup but I would just use es file explorer or something similar to back up the apps to the sd card

You can but that's a totally different question/thread/answer. LOL What you want is to just flash a new rom after a wipe and to restore all your apps. It is ok to wipe your device, just do NOT wipe the internal SD card. That will wipe the rom you want to flash and other goodies. Another tip is to create an update.zip of your titanium backup program so that when you first flash your ROM, you can flash the update.zip right after. In Titanium backup, hit menu-"create update.zip". This will place the update.zip (titanium backup program) on your internal SDcard so you can flash it later.
Please delete the update.zip after you have your device up and running to avoid any confusions down the road. You can create the titanium backup "zip" file at any time and takes seconds to do. GL
thanks for all the reply.
I thought a full wipe would delete all user data (apps and all files) and was afraid to try to do the full wipe. Obversly, I was wrong. The wipe doesn't delete everything.

Nope the rom's data partition is seperate from the sdcard partition. A regular wipe of the data, cache, dalvic cache, and system doesn't delete the storage (sdcard) partition, they're kept seperate for that reason among others.
You have to actually tell it to wipe the sdcard partition in order to wipe it. Also, note that in recovery, wiping the data and cache partition is sometimes called "factory reset". I know in TWRP recovery it is, not sure about clockwork. If you know you're in recovery, the factory reset is perfectly safe, it only wipes data and cache. It's completely seperate from similar options that are in the rom (in settings) or in the factory bootloader.
When you see us referring to "Make sure you wipe completely" it's probably confusing, but we aren't referring to the sdcard and external storage. We are just referring to what's necessary for a proper rom install, which is data, system, dalvic cache, and cache.

I've rooted, installed a custom recovery.. but I cant seem to mount my storage to transfer rom files to my N7. Is there another manner of installing a rom?

Download them directly to your tablet. I haven't done PC transfer for ROM files since my first ROM or two on my skyrocket. Its an unnecessary burden. I flashed aokp today on my nexus 7. The downloaded files show up in your downloads folder. You could make a specific folder if you wish

Have never transfered files through a usb cable since I found out about apps like Wifi explorer Pro or Airdroid.
Personally I use Wifi explorer pro to transfer files from and to my PC wirelessly
You can use adb push and adb pull commands too
Ive done that, but im trying to install Paranoid Android. He requests that we do a factory restore.. which wipes everything as I understand it. So wont the downloads folder be wiped as well?

Wiping data, system, cache and dalvik cache would suffice to install any rom.
All these procedures do NOT wipe ur sd card
EDIT: To be more precise if you are using TWRP just do a factory reset from the wipe options there and then wipe system, cache and dalvik cache.
Then install the ROM.
You will be fine
^^ I feel like an idiot lol. So excited to play with the thing, checkedout on common sense. Thanks guys!

No problem mate.
Hope everything goes well
I need some help with my Elsa. I soft bricked it about a 9 days ago while I was installing gapps on top of lineage OS 14.1. I had rooted using Cow mid January , 17.
Using fat I resized, formated, wiped ----system, data, cache--- partitions. Then I formated Dev/Art in F2FS which resulted in some very interesting stuff. Now that I've gotten TWRP back on it ( or helped it revive ) through fastboot.
File system looks good.

Is there any cmds, coding, prompts.... etc.... i can run in the twrp terminal to gather more information to the condition of the device?
No stock. No roms. Nothing except Android I think
A clean blank state?
The device Had full SElinux and MTP this whole time it was bricked

if you have twrp, the flash a rom for your device via twrp and let it boot.
typically will reboot 2x and take 10-15 min from start to finish 1st boot.
if you have twrp you just need to flash a rom,
make sure you do a full wipe, and a format data prior to installing your rom.
Please stop re-posting new threads, your making this harder for any dev to help as you've now made 3 posts for the 1 device you have, and the 1 issue.

I'm sorry.
It's just been hard. I'm reading and trying to do my homework on this issue from LG UP to boot img. Recovery img. And system img. Having issues with adb seeing device to Windows drivers not being correct.
Now that I've got twrp functioning again on the device along with adb... I've got the KDZ file which I have extracted to produce a system.img file. I have no boot or recovery img though. I've put all extracted files into my platform tools folder. I don't know what to do now. I don't want to mess this up. Help me get this correct

if you have twrp you dont need a system.img recovery.img or a boot.img
you just need to go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-natf-1-00-test-5-debloated-stock-t3509750
download the rom,
place on sd card and install it using twrp.

You can set the zips anywhere in internal.. But id recommend putting them on a sd card as they wont accidently get erased.
With his rom you dont need gaps.
Only aosp roms or aokp roms
Just choose wipe and do it 3 times
Then do advanced options in wipe and do format data
Once done go to install and choose the location where the rom was saved. Again a sd card eliminates side load. Mounting ywrp with mtp to move stuff etc. But if you have to use internal. Go to mount and mount mtp stoarge and use pc to drag zip to phone.
Should just need to install the rom and reboot. The link i sent you is for the stock rom you started with.. And some mod options. Just get it working with it and get the fine details done later..
But you just need to find the file under install and install the full zip. If its aroma it will let you personalize rom.
Just install the recommended zip from link and profit.
