A question...
what i've to do to install gb (WB expecificly), but erasing everything in the sd, i mean i just want to have the folders and files from this rom only.
does Xrecovery delete everything and keep the essential or i've to delete something else ?
thanks
ps: sorry for my english...
you don't want to delete everything on the sdcard, you may want to delete the android folder, data folder and lost.dir folder though to eliminate chances of problems with some apps.
I just updated to a new build, but when I try installing apps, it says out of space even though I have over 600MB internal and 2GB external. I think I have to delete some system files but am not sure
Installing or recovering thm via Titanium?
Installing with the apk, right after the boot up.
Are the over 600MB internal the free or the total space?
That's the free
Try wiping cache and dalvik cache.

When this happens to me, i just tell it again.. Usually works on 2nd, occasionally 3rd try.. Then its back to normal.

@Keghan
the solutions could be:
unmount and remount the cache and data directory
fix permissions
wipe the cache and the dalvik-cache
clear the data of the playstore

Is it also true that you can remove the odex files for that particular app in /data? I remember seeing something about that in the recent posts for the Epsylon3 ICS Dev thread.
I scanned through the Dev forum and found out that by
Deleting the tombstone folder in Data and
deleting the odex of that file in data/app folder works
How can i expand my system storage? Because i want to instal chainfire 3d and it dont let me istall it , it says there are not enaught space in system.....
You can't expand the system partition. Do a full wipe (including system) and flash your ROM again, and this time save some space by not flashing mods, and using minimal gapps.
Or, for a quick solution you could delete certain system apps via root explorer

In to system folder and delete unnecessary ringtones or system apps
With this little information it's a wild guess but:
If your internal memory is full, maybe you can check the /data/tombstones directory because it can take up a few GiB's. If your phone is rooted and you have root explorer, you can delete them all. If not delete something so you can install root explorer.
I don't know if this has been asked before here...
Every time I try to install an app it gives me an insufficient storage available error.
In settings it shows that i have well over 2gig free space. I have tried wiping cache dalvik etc and nothing has worked. Please help!

Your system partition is full. You need to delete apps and whatever else gets stored in system folder. If you use titanium backup....I think it keeps backups of old apps....you gotta go into titanium backup and delete the backups of apps you use. Some large games may store data in system too.

Thanks I thought apps from the play store were all stored in /data
I was wondering if someone could tell me a Cache Wipe actually removes from the device?
Is there any risk to doing it? (Can it break anything?)
thanks for your advice
Wipe cache&dalvick doesn´t break anythink All aps or internal memory is OK
Its recomended to do time after time
Cache in general is a temporary and quick access data used which are used by system and your apps. Temporary information(data) created or used by an app or a system is part of cache(recovery logs e.g.) partition. However if you do not have to, do not wipe the cache partition. It makes system and apps run faster by "anticipating" actions, like preloading images e.g. for your apps and more.
Don't worry, no risk at all.
It's just temporary files. No more harmful than deleting the Temp and temporary internet files folders on a Windows.
