Google Play Store insufficient storage error


I own a rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3110). Im using Android 4.2.2 and Cyanogenmod 10.1.3-p3110.

Since a few days my tablets play store screws up installing some apps. I get an insufficient storage error after the installprocess starts everytime (when the download has ended). This occurred with youtube but strangely enough not with some barcodescanner app. When I look at my usage of internal storage however there seems to be more than 2 gigs of free space left.

The internet is full of people getting this error. I tried many solutions, but none of them seem to work. I tried to wipe the cache and dalvik cache. Also I tried to look at the free internal storage in different ways. Nothing seems to work. However I can put apks on my tablet via usb and then install them without any problems. This isnt really practical though.

Also updates are going fine too. I dont get this error when apps update automatically.

Error log during youtube install Evidence #1 Evidence #2 Evidence #3 Error popping up in play store

Edit: Also tried to fix permissions in Clockwordmod Recovery, didn't help Edit 2: A copy of df command in terminal

Solution

  • Ended up flashing a new rom. I am using Slimkat 4.4.4 now and had to flash it using the latest Philz Touch which I found right here https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/p3110/

    The problem now seems to have been solved, although I didnt prefer this particular solution. Oh well.
