**Alrite fellow members, so I tried samysam05's method on page3, worked flawlessly! follow his codes in ur terminal, and you will get your storage back. (I went from 37MB straight to 70MB) Round of applause for samysam05!**
So far I've known at least another person with the same issue, I wanna know if there's more.
This is what happened. I had JFv1.43Holiday, before flashing my phone with JF's cupcake.
Then I flashed the 1.5 radio from HTC, then JFv1.5 without doing a wipe. I used to have 51MB left (I do have apps2sd with data on phone), and after flashing only 30MB.
So I thought this might be caused by the fact I didn't wipe or I had data on my phone instead of SD card. I did a wipe, re-installed JFv1.5, supposedly I should have around 70MB left like others, but I only have 52MB, when I didn't install anything at all.
If anyone know why this is happening, please help! Greatly appreciated!
I've noticed the same thing.
same here...i am running the App to SD and i have been having only 32mb of "available space"...i dont know wats been going on with my available space ever since i left JFRC33 Mod to does roms nd nos 1.5.
Looks like im not the only one. hope someone can help us fix this.
happend to me also.
im down to like 28mb with only 10-15 apps installed =(
wonder whats wrong hmmm.
Do a wipe then follow the steps for apps to sd. Hopefully you have a partitioned card. I had about 30mb after wipe. Then followed Haykuro's app to sd tutorial and 63mb free now.

So even if I already have app2sd i should still do it again with haykuro's method? (i do hv a partitioned card).
I also have this problem and *do not* and have never had apps on my SD card. I was on JF 1.42/RC33, did radio update, then JF 1.5. Didn't do a wipe before 1.5, but after root didn't work, did a wipe, then re-applied 1.5. No apps installed (straight from boot) and only 51mb free.

While that option is obviously available to everybody, some people may not want to go that route forever reason. The problem some are experiencing in this thread is obviously an issue of some sort. Personally, I've tried myself to get apps on the SD card, but not being very technical I was unable to get the SD card partitioned correctly. May try again as it appears SDSPLIT (which I attmpted to use) appears to have been updated.

Before i try this, I'm just somewhat curious: Even if i already got apps2sd, i should still do it again using this method? Sorry, Im not very technical...
Alrite guys, this is what i found out (ignore me if you already know).
I flashed Dude's 1.5, and official 1.5 by HTC, it appears that on any of those roms i still only get 51 or 52MB of space regardless. So it's not a problem with JF's rom. I didn't try Haykuro's, but I'm not gonna expect miracles.
I also tried flashing with a different SD card, which also didn't help. im suspecting that it's something weird with the 1.5 version itself, maybe all of us did something different to cause the loss is storage space.
I haven't tried alternative APPS2SD methods yet, just because it seems pretty painful... I will if i can't figure this out.
Maybe the 20 MB was used for the rom and system files itself... the cupcake-ish builds are a lot heaver than jfrc33 was. The same happens to me on jf1.5, H & G builds (Dudes and Hayruko) whether a2sd or not. Maybe a lot of dead files are left or something but probably just the extra weight such as vk, video rec., newer core, opengl, extra animations, ect. May be I am wrong and there is a fix... Dudes G build (heavily modded to be similar to H builds goodies) seems to give me the most free space for extra apps. Maybe that is a good alternative for some until the ota RC build is ripped and rooted by JF...

I'm thinking that's what it is. dalvik-cache is like 20mb on JF 1.5 (at least it was on the way my phone did it before I started the process I noted below). Just for ****s and giggles I deleted the directory and rebooted (had no idea what would happen) and it put it all back (same size).
I'm in the process of going back to RC29, will root the phone, will upgrade to JF 1.42 RC33 then to JF 1.5 from there and see what it shows.
It is the dalvik, when I checked right after install it was like 21meg after install and grew to 26meg fast.
I started from scratch:
Installed RC29 (reported 71mb free) Rooted the phone.
Wiped, then upgraded to JF 1.42 RC33 (reported 71mb free, dalvik-cache was like 1.2mb)
Updated radio.
Wiped, then upgraded to JF 1.5 (52mb free).
So, as sino8r's speculated above, either 1) JF 1.5 and other varients (Dude/Haykuro/Official HTC) are just larger, in which case, Google sucks for that, and it will just force those to move their apps to the SD card or 2) I'm a total ****ing idiot (quite possible)

Well, right now I agree with ur (1), since i basically tried every build, same result all the way...
It must be the dalvik cache... have both apps and dalvik on my sd and have 61 free, regular caches are still in system... best I see with the new builds with both apps and dalvik on sd is 65 ish...
Got like 70 max in rc33... so id guess the firmware is slightly bigger but it also prob has something to do with the dalvik cuz I'm only down 5mb not 20mb
It IS the dalvik! When i was on jf 1.43 i had like 70ish free, when i upgraded i had 63 free! And to make sure i wouldnt run into trouble i went in the terminal and erased the stuff in system/sd to make sure i wouldnt have leftovers in there, then i did all the steps of app2sd EXCEPT dalvik, then i ended up with 64 mb free.
After a reboot, and then doing the last step with dalvik it was up at a swapping 71mb free!
Thats also why im now gonna use mybackup, followed with nandroids every 2nd month aprox, and put those 2 files on my laptop and a cd-rw, and then i will update both locations acordingly, and use dalvik on the sd.. I can afford to buy a new sd when its lifetime cycles of usages is over And then have a fast responding phone with a gazillion of apps on !!
I wanna use my microsd as main storage.
Ive been using the mod for note2 but cant find one for 10.1

I had slight issue with something else but fixed it earlier today, here is exactly what I did; formatted ext sd card to fat32,
then did a full wipe using philz recovery (option which says wipe to install new rom),
then formatted internal memory, /sdcard
Then pressed full wipe for new rom AGAIN,
Then flashed rom (am running HD ROM 7.0),
Then flashed script.

I am going to look for an alternative. Also the parsing error which got fixed is back again LOL! Wasted money on a 64gb it seems.

Yes, I feel like I wasted money for the sd too,but also I feel stupid for not knowing all of these storage stuff at the first place. Honestly, I won't go back cuz if your fond of gameloft games or games really big on MBs you actually can save some memory. I have 7 gameloft games installed which are about 1 gb each and they have taken no more than 0.50 from the internal(all together). All games with Cache will work that way cuz the cache can go in the external (e.x with cache http://android.mob.org/game/dungeon_hunter_4.html ) if you scroll down where it writes download the last one is the cache, its close to 1GB. But, it still isn't fully working,as small games,which in my opinion happen to be the best for tablets don't store there.In the future i might change too, i get no errors or anything so far. Maybe a new script or something comes by then, that is actually working? :fingers-crossed:
If you find something better, tell me. I'm not so pleased with this script either

roms take more space after being flashed
so to increase your memory you can uninstall unwanted system apps and other apps and after that boot into recovery and wipe cache partition and then reboot you will really have more free space
also
you are having space issues right??
dont you use sd card ??

If you do the correct wipes and install an aftermarket ROM, is should take up less space. Most aftermarket ROMs are quite a bit smaller than the stock ROMs. There are a few running around in this forum that are heavily bloated with stuff to make the Tab more media friendly, but these are the exceptions. With that being said, did you do a clean wipe prior to install? If not, that's the issue. There's some left over data in there. Also, the memory is partitioned into sections, one for the ROM and one for storage. Getting a SD would be good so you can store your backups there. Backups take up a lot of memory.

GUYS..... first of all thank you so much for taking the time to respond. this has been a thorn in my side for a while now.. i do indeed have an sd and prior to the switch from stock to cm10.2 i was able to employ the ext script to swap memory which worked well overall. i do not know of any viable way to employ any memory swap script or app thast works well with cm10.2 i have done a great deal of research and i have not seen anything.. im also not a noob but i do feel like on right now!!!! this is so annoying. here are my questions:
do you know of any app to sd applications that work with cm10.2?
do you know of anyway to install apps to the card?
as for the wipe.... yes I did wipe completely ( at least I thought I did) I wiped data, system, cache, dalvik, and then formatted system, cache, data then wiped then cleared dalvik again prior to rebooting. this was thorough and typically what i do when I flash.
im totally open to suggestions. as of now the tab is pretty much rendered useless because I cannot even update apps. it only sees 4.59gb of the onboard space and the entire 16gb of the ext card.
thanks !!!!!!!!!!!

A large amont of the space is your rom im guessing around 3-5gb then u have probly another 2-3gb for ur stock apps then anything u install after that. They say 16/32/64 or 128 on the box but thats never the room u get software always takes up a large portion. Luckily ur device has a sd card slot i believe so u can use that to expande ur storge for a relatively cheap price.
If you need more room on the device you can always root and install custom software or uninstall apps with titanium backup but be careful read the guides in your device forum and follow them properly.
Root your phone and install link2sd.this will solve your storage problem.
First of all your rom will take a lot, second of all your apps and your old apps data incase you used a custom recovery to factory reset, and third of all Cashe it self could reach up to 1 gb.

I understand that the rom may take a large amount of memory but i dont think so that it can take upto 7-8 gb. I have cleared all the cache so it cannot be cache either. I think i may have used custom recovery to factory reset. But when i use file manager to view my internal the total is around only 400 mb including all the folders (like android, dcim, etc)
Btw, I'm running cm12.1. Do you think reverting back to my stock rom would help?
Please help as this is really irritating because most of my apps crash due to low memory.
Thanks.

Yup the issue is that you used a costume recovery to factory reset, I had that issue as well with my note 3 until I realized that all apps data were installed but I didn't see them even on file manager, so I just downloaded a stock firmware and did a stock factory reset and then everything was good as new!

My pleasure! Best of luck.
Hi there
I have done a small search of the thread on this section of the forums but it seems I can not come up with the answer.
I have an old N5 16gb model. Running on DU 6.0.1 rom. Every time i install an app it says there is no space and i need to delete some apps before i can continue.
If i delete apps it still doesn't work. If i clear the cache it works.
As i go along it seems i am getting less and less apps on the phone. Android system is taking 3.42 gb of the partition.
I have never done anything to the partitions when i wiped the phone to put on a new rom. Just wipe and install rom.
Any suggestions?
Secondly If i flash a android 7 rom do i need to repart the phone? I haven't flashed anything in about a year so i am a little rusty.

Apps are getting bigger and bigger but you should check the twrp folder, maybe you have a backup or two that you don't need so you should erase them. Around 3gb per backup in average.

I figured that the apps are getting huge. Looks like it might be time to update the old phone then. Nothing in the twrp folders.
I have about 600mb left on the device. I have deleted everything else i can.

Then it's time to upgrade, no other solutions.

You could try to format your internal SD or install DiskUsage to find out which app takes most of the space. I think it must be an app with a huge cache.

Settings->Storage->Cached data click on it and choose to delete it.
About flashing 7 ROM it is highly required to do clean install(wipe everything), everytime you switch from one ROM to another, if this is what you meant by restarting device. Re-partition wont be needed, just wipe and flash.

Sweet! I do the cached data wipe every time i need to install something. It's the only way i can get something on there.
I was wondering about the repartition as i heard the 7 roms are fairly large.

Re-partitioning won't be necessary, if you use pico/nano/micro variants of GAPPS package.
