[Q] 51mb free, yet apps won't install due to memory shortage!

---

I am running Leedroid 3.08.2 A2SD, which has been running well to date.

I had a problem with Dolphin HD browser yesterday, when it kept force closing when i tried to use it. I unistalled it and tried to restore from Titanium backup, but was told there was not enough memory available to install. I tried to download the app from the market, but same result.

I am puzzled as I have lots of free space. Quick Sytem Info reports the following

A2SD 127mb free
Internal 51mb free
System 22mb free
Sys Cache 31mb free

I have tried to install some other apps and had similar problems. I have rebooted, but that makes no difference.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Any possible solutions?

Cheers

I have no real solution here, never had such a problem...

I would try to wipe /cache in recovery and try installation again.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it hasn't solved the problem.

While I was trying 3 other apps updated with no problem!

Would a wipe of dalvik-cache not help ? After a restart, it should makes a change.

Please note that 1st boot after this wipe will be longuer as the dalvik-cache will be reconstructed, but then boot time will be normal.

Seen that silly message a long time ago with MIUI and used a script to move dalvik to SD-ext which solved the problem. In this case, this might be different as Sense is used, but problem might still be linked to dalvik-cache...

Thanks for the suggestion ouglouck. Tried this and still having the same problem. Managed to install a couple of new apps, but still can't get Dolphin to install!
