Low system storage?? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

My storage info shows 280mb+ of space.. tho I cannot download files
Via my browser due to "not enough storage space". I have a 16gb sdcard though (unrelated??) my system folder shows only 15mb remaining in root explorer.. can anyone help?

Probably out of internal memory.
Step 1: Root Device
Step 2. Download Fota fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065018
Step 3 Run
Step 4 Reboot.
Step 5 All good

I'm rooted.. cwm bali 1.4 fota fix...
My question is what does internal memory have to do with browser downloads?? Shouldn't they default to my SD?

The Fota app works great for this. Just did it and got over 250mb free on my device. Will check on that storage checking now.

Factory data reset and you'll be good to go.
Don't forget that your internal SD card will be formatted so move anything you don't want to lose to your external SD card.
Samething happened to me yesterday after using unbrick. Factory reset worked

You want to do a reset thru settings/privacy on your phone. If you do this you will lose everything on your phone besides root. This is what I did and its been working fine.

"Market Fix" App fixed this problem
I had the same problem & Market Fix App fixed it.
It was due to cache problem on Internal memory.
After this fix I have downloaded 4-5 apps of size 20MB each & no problems.

Links2sd

I'm curious to know how this is working out for everyone...how many of us use links2sd. And the ones who use it how much space were you able to save?
For me it seems to be working fine and i have been able to consistently keep 200mbs of free space..the ui is nice and easy to understand. What are the disadvantage to using this?

With Valhalla Final, L2sd, and absolutely no bloat at all, it's easy to keep that much free space. I move everything i possibly can to sd.

UGH.
What partition are you guys using.
I tried ext2. After 2 reboots all my apps disappeared and L2SD failed to mount partition 2.
I tried ext4. After "1" reboot all my apps disappeared and L2SD failed to mount partition 2.
I am trying FAT32, hopefully will work.

Do I need to partition my SD card prior to using the app, or will the app do it on its own?

You will need to partition it first. You will lose all data on your SDcard so make sure you have your card backed up.
1. Go into recovery and partition your card.
2. Open up Link2SD and it will ask what type of partition it is ( I believe it is ext3, I could be wrong though )
3. Select the partition type then it will create the script.
4. Reboot phone and open up Link2SD and set it up as you would like.

try installing busybox, this should take care of the apps disappearing. it that doesn't work just clear both caches and then you should be good to go. make sure lind2sd is set to ext4 as your sd card should be formatted to this with the latest roms if i am not mistaken.

How to wipe internal storage without wiping cwm?

I want to wipe everything off my storage but if I do that then cwm will be deleted too. I remember seeing topics for formating but I can't seem to find them anymore.

Use the tool in my sig. Just do a dual-wipe with the Nullifier and you're good as new (so to speak at least).

Well, I just succesfully did the cleanup batch thing, but Im inside cwm now, I can't access my internal storage, says E:can't mount /emmc/, if I try to mount usb storage it says
E:Unable to write to ums lunsfile (No such file or directory)
Should I reinstall cwm? Re-root? Pretty confused here
edit: I reinstalled cwm, working fine now, will come back if ive got any more problems

is your internal storage working properly? That was the problem with flashing a non GB ROM first, if I remember correctly

Ya, I just had to go into vold.fstab and change 2 numbers so I can make internal storage my main storage cuz I don't have a sdcard but ive always had to do that on ICS/jb ROMs.

You can use a tweak to overcome your problem.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
As you have your phone rooted, go to /system/build.prop and edit it with a text editor (You can use Root Manager for this process) and add this line at the bottom of the page
"ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1" (without quotes)
After adding this line carefully reboot your phone and clear memory with your phone's task manager and you can observe a much of ram left.
CAUTION: DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG WITH YOUR PHONE.

If you have fast sdcard or internal card you can SWAP. search it. it's basically partitioning your sdcard to be a part of the RAM

If there is a shortage of ram, I don't think locking the launcher in memory will help.

But what i think is that with this tweak all the unwanted background apps get cleared off leaving a wide range of ram to use.

Try to enhance ur phone performance by installing v6 super charger....it speeds up your ram and phone.......

RAM-expander allows you to make extra ram available, as a swapfile on your sd card.
You need a fast card for this, but the dev has a utility you can run first to check compatibility.
Also look at auto memory killer, which is not a task killer rather it manages the minfrees, so your can keep as much memory free as possible
