Prerequisites:
  • You need to be rooted
  • Install BusyBox (The app is actually an installer for a low-level linux tool. After installing the app from the store, you need to run it and then click on Install to install/update to the latest version of busy box)
  • Install 'Cache Fixer'

Steps to fix the cache
  • Run Cache Fixer
  • Under 'Move and resize your cache folder to', select 'Data'
  • A slider bar will appear. Drag it all the way to the right (say 100MB)
  • Make sure that Force ext4 FileSystem appears and stays checked
  • Click on 'Move cache'
  • The Cache Fixer tool will be granted superuser access a couple of times and eventually it should pop up a window saying 'Cache moved' (or something to that effect)
  • Go back to the play store and install the app that was causing the problem

The cache fixer apps states that the move is only temporary, and will only last until a system reboot (in our case, until you turn the car off). Next time you install a large app, you'll have to go through the process again.

I haven't used it to install TomTom etc mentioned here, but the process did allow me to install Angry Birds Star Wars, which I previously had trouble with.
You da man!

Now, next challenge, get RaceChrono to load up and run PLEASE!
