As the title says, I cannot install apps while, in fact, I have 3gb free. I cannot install apps such as Titanium Backup, Jewels Star, and Browser for Skydrive. Has anyone else had this issue and fixed it? This has only started occurring today, and yes, I am rooted. Any help would be much appreciated.
I hace 500mb and The same error :'(

Well I'm not exactly sure this is the issue or not, but for example, the Nexus 7 16 gb has like 13 gb free, but not all of that partition is available for applications. There is 2gb of allotted space for apps, and anything that exceeds that will have to be moved to a flash drive or an sd card in a USB adapter via an otg cable.
Go in Lucky Patcher and click on the three dots bottom right corner, than choose troubleshooting, choose the remove fixes and backup option.
That's it

got this problem after an OTA update for my alcatel ot 995. a really big thank you for your info.
I tried both the lucky patcher and titanium backup ways and still have insufficient storage :'((((
I have also this same error with Nexus 7 16GB. Can't update/install new apps, even like size of 1MB apps. I have 501MB available. I have already tried "Forever Gone" and "Lucky Patcher" fixes and wiped cache and dalvik cache. Any suggestions what to do?
Insufficient Storage Available
Got this error recently too on my GN 7, with 11 GBs of free space.
Situation: Went to play Angry Birds Star Wars Edition. Selextred the icon on my desktop but got an error message stating the game was not installed (after being there for several weeks). Checked my App Drawer and confirmed it was not there. Went to Google Play, hit download on the game, started to install and then got the dreaded error message: Insufficient Storage Available.
Steps Taken: Went into settings, Apps, cleared cache and data, removed large apps but nothing worked. Tried "Lucky Patcher" and "MarketFix", no luck (pun intended).
Solution (FYI Root access required):
1. Using ES File Explorer, navigated to /data/app and deleted Angry Birds Star Wars Edition .apk.
2. Using ES File Explorer, navigatd to /data/app-lib and deleted Angry Birds Star Wars Edition folder.
3. Back to Google Play, downloaded App and no error, problem solved!
My guess is that somehow the system no longer see's the app folder, even though its still there. So when you go to download it, or in other cases update it, Google Play does its thing and crashes when it encounters the files. Its not expecting to see them and then can't figure out what to do when it finds them. My uneducated guess is that the error message itself isn't reflective of the issue, just a generic error message (sounds like something Microsoft was good at ).
This worked for me, may not work for you. At a high level, I think you have to remove the offending application and re-install it. If its multiple apps, you may need to remove them all or perhaps something else is going on. Hope this helps, I was relieved when I got my the issue resolved.
While this article is from 2012, I'm experiencing a problem with my rooted Nexus 10 where certain apps will not update and the system throws the "insufficient storage available" error while I have 17.5gb of free space. The apps in question include (Lastpass, Netflix and Weatherbug). Other apps (Google Docs, Google Sheets and RootChecker) update just fine. I'm running the Paranoid Android ROM (version 4.43, released 07/15/2014). I queried the PA community but no reply. I also emailed support at Lastpass, but no answer as of yet. I'm holding off on updating the Nexus 5 to 4.43 until I figure out if the ROM update is causing this issue. I don't recall this problem appearing when 4.42 was running.

Thank you so much. I deleted the app and app-lib folders and my download completed.
I haven't checked to see if it fixed just that app, or all apps, because this seems to be an issue for all apps currently installed.
Either way, the one I needed to update, has done so, because of your advice.
Thank you.
i keep getting this error every time i reboot the tablet
process com.google.process.gapps has stopped
cant use the market too its wont load up .. chrome give f,c when i try to download somthing
its JB 4.2.2 not rooted
how i can fix this ?
Since it is a stock unrooted tablet you have exactly two options
a) Try clearing data (Settings->Apps->All) on related gapps applications e.g.
- Google Play services
- Google Play Store
- Google Services Framework
- others?
OR
b) Factory Reset
Because there is always the risk of wedging the OS by fooling around with things using technique (a), even if you plan on trying that first, you should prepare for the possibility that a Factory Reset might be needed. Note that the Stock Recovery's "factory reset" wipes EVERYTHING including the SD card - so this means
Back up your whole tablet before you begin.
I was going to suggest using the Carbon backup app to back up your apps & data (it claims to work on unrooted devices) - but then realized you have a chicken-vs-egg problem (can't install apps via Google Play). I note that both the windows MSI installer and the .apk file are available from the developers website. I'm not sure how this would work out though as it is a paid app ??? Maybe you still need the market to partially work to get an auth token? (I'm not sure what is needed to work on the tablet for in-app purchases to succeed.) Well, at least you can install the Windows .MSI and sideload-install the .apk and see how that goes...
Good luck and take your time. It may be that no backup is needed after all, but I would hate to be faced with the possibility that a full factory reset is the only thing left to do (the wedged-OS condition).
PS please change your thread/post title to something a little less vague
I'm getting the play store "insufficient storage" notice (for almost every different app I try) despite having 8 GB of "free" internal storage and 20 GB of "free" ext. SD storage available. I unsuccessfully tried all the following supposed fixes:
Cleared Play store cash/data before and/or after a forced stop and including uninstalling play store updates.
Forced stopped "Google service framework"
Recovery->>cleared cash partition and dalvkc cash
Re-installing Gapps
running app cache cleaner
However, I WAS able to install grooveshark.apk apart from the play store with no problems.
Could this have anything to do with a LCD resolution change?
Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated, as I sick of factory resets, and am under the impression that even a factory reset may not fix the problem.

I had the same problem on my Nexus 7. If you use ES File Explorer don't forget to enable root browsing otherwise you won't see the folders.
This is what you need. You have to delete the folders for the apps that won't update in /data/app-lib/APP-PATH(that has this error)

Double-check your link there, that's the link to the latest firmwares.
Anyway, use your favorite root file manager (or adb/terminal, if you're feeling brave) to do the folder delete.

Spot on. My mistake. Thanks.
Did someone say steak?
Hello, I'm having a problem I could not solve even after searching in many forums and video tutorials.
My situation is as follows. Due to technical problems in my Galaxy Y GTS-5310 (it suffered some sort of electric pane that disabled the camera and the input of the headset), I decided to buy a GTS-5360.
The GTS-5310 device was ok to run all applications I used normally, with 4.1.2 Jellyfish. Whenever any updated version of any app was not available on Google Play for some reason (with some exceptions here and there), I've always been able to install it directly through the SD Card.
As I imagined, this new device (with old 2.6.1 Gingerbread) did not recognize the installation of most apps I used (such as Whatsapp, Waze or Instagram). I have managed to install only few of them, like Facebook Lite or Root Browser, and only through the SD Card.
On this new phone, the Google Play Store always shows me a message of incompatible versions (either with Error 492 or simply not making the download button available). Whenever I try to install any of these through SD Card (by downloading the .apk file directly to my computer, be it in Google Chrome or Firefox), then Parse Error appears ("There is a problem parsing this package").
So my first attempt was to use Google Market Helper to change the ROM record as it is viewed by Google Play. However, even changing the version registration of the device to a more upgraded one, this did not work.
The next step was to actually install a new ROM. I have since tried Hyperion 9.0 (2.6), then I try upgrading to Lollipop (4.4), which runs ok, except for installing these apps. As far as I know, the latter should accept the download and installation of most of the apps mentioned above. But whatever I tried, I kept getting the same error messages (Error 492 via Google Market, Parse Error via SD Card).
Since then, some of the suggestions I've followed have not worked either. These include deleting the .android_secure folder from the SD Card, then clearing the cache of processes such as the Google Play Store and Google Framework, as well as clearing the dalvik cache through CWM and rebooting. I did this more than once, but the problem persisted.
I wonder now whether even upgrading the Galaxy Y GTS-5360 to a compatible ROM such as Lollipop is enough for being able to run these applications due to hardware issues.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Hi, galaxy y s5360 just support gingerbread is the reason of pars error when you install higher android apps.
About 492, any notification( log in error or gtalk...)?
Did you tried:
- Turn off device, Delete that folder on computer, then flash the rom again
- log in new gg acc
After having enough with PE10, due to non working camera and stream apps I returned to original room 8.1
After reinstalling all looks like it is working fine, except the Google Play Store -> it is Completing Setup for the past 3 day's.
It says that will install 0 from 4 application, but it is not going forward. Has any one faced such issue?
ROM I have downloaded latest one from Google directly.
BTW, I have tried to installed it twice and the same issue, also I am typing from this Nexus, so in general all works but I cannot update anything....
Has anyone faced similar issue? I am not able to install any thing due to "freeze" Google Play Store....
I have inserted SIM card if that would help, but still the same issue...
It can be closed: I have clear cache and data. Force stop application. Then reopened and it started to work correctly.
