I am using Samsung i699 (android 2.3.6) in China, They preinstalled so many suck apps. After I rooted and removed a bunch of apps including system files, and then every time when I power on, it displays "Low Storage Space there is not enough storage space available to complete this action, please clear some space and try again" Before remove some system files such as applicationsprovider, kies, kieswifi and etc... it never had any problems. So here I have 2 questions:
1 How can I resolve the issue?
2 If nobody knows, I want to restore factory default. When I press "restore factory default", it just restores my settings, or restores all the apps and systems files I deleted?
THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP

Use Titanium Backup (rooted version) or Links to Sd app from Google Play.
From these you can remove all unwanted apps (even system apps).
You can clear off some space, deleted unwanted files, clear cache and make some space for your mobile.
NOTE: BOTH APPS REQUIRE ROOT AND BEWARE TO UNINSTALL CRAPPY APPS ONLY DON'T MESS WITH THE SYSTEM CORE APPS. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK

1]flash offical firmware with odin
google it for more help
2]or use link2sd app on google play to move all apps to sd card
I rooted my Xperia E C1504 ( single ). No flashing ROM. Nothing. Just rooted. I could move some of the non-movable apps to internal memory after rooting. But there are still apps like Facebook, Gmail, Browser, that are considered as system apps and unable to move to internal memory.
I use Titanium Backup.
And if I could move these apps, I think I can hibernate them in Greenify.
I searched for modules in Xposed Framework too. No use there.
Someone help please ?

I did use that app "link2sd". And no, it doesn't show that option "Convert to user app" for system apps, but it shows "convert to system app" for user apps. And it showed me an error when I tried 'Move 2 SD card' with Facebook, Gmail.
Now what ? And also, App shortcuts on the home screen disappears if I reboot my device. However, apps installed on phone remains on home screen but not the ones moved to Internal Memory. Any idea about this too ?

From the play store download /system/app mover. It is a free app, you need busybox installed though. Use that, it will convert the apps to user apps for you. Quick tip start from the bottom and work your way up.
And the problem about the shortcuts disappearing is common with apps installed to the SDCard and Internal Memory. Since they are stored on storage's what are loaded after the phone has booted the shortcuts get unlinked.
On older phones (Xperia x10) I was able to partition the sd card and have an ext-3 partition which is native to android/linux, link2sd was able to move system apps to it as it was already considered mounted at boot so nothing would unlink.. I have been trying to do this will the milo with little success, the phone considers either the internal sd or external sd card as 'damaged' when partitioned - I have tried a variety of tools which have been successful on other Sony mobiles, it then proceeds to reformat and partition the card(s) back to their default state.. Highly annoying, as by using an ext partition you could have gigabytes of system storage, so I can only assume there is something about the miro range which makes partitions unusable.
Performance is lessened when using ext partitions but that performance drop is significantly less than only have 50mb of ram available compared to 300 or 400mb!
If I have any success I will update you but at the moment im baffled..

I tried with Titanium Backup. It worked! Phew. But hey, still thanks to you and everyone whoever responded.
SOLVED - I just reinstalled all the APK, automatically linking them on the SD card. The data was still on the EXT4 partition, so everything was found by the apps.

Hi,
Link2SD was working really nice, until randomly, I kept getting errors saying it cannot links the apps...
So I've fulled backed up my EXT4 partition on my computer (Just drag and dropped the folders. Not sure if this was correct), powered off the phone, reformetted the EXT4 partition with GParted, copied the files back in with Linux, put the SD card back in the phone, power it ON;
But now, Link2SD does not detect the apps that I've copied back on the card - although it can link the apps again.
The apps that were restored simply doesn't appear anywhere (But are on the partition).
Is there any way I can restore the full EXT4 backup I've took ?

Your solution didn't work for me because it just gave an error whenever I tried to reinstall one of the previously linked apps. Likely because of the excess files leftover from the original because it would let me install new apps but not the missing ones. I tried to delete some files manually for an app or two, but that didn't work either. I found an easy solution though that works.
SOLUTION:
Just open Link2SD. Click the top left corner for the menu. Then click on "Clean up the 2nd partition". When I did it said it needed to delete 104 unused files, so I said ok. Afterwards, actually all but 2(out of 32) of my apps were restored with data automatically and those two I just restored from Titanium Backup.
NOTE FOR ANYONE TRYING THIS:
If it's still not working after that, then just try to reboot and see if they reappear. If you do lose some apps, at least you can reinstall or restore them from a backup after that. Again I only lost 2, but the other 30 missing linked apps were restored.
As the tilte is saying, whenever there's less than 100 mb of internal storgare the performance just dies. Even scrolling is laggy. I've used multiple ROMs (CM 11, 10.1, 9/SlimKat/SlimSaber/BeanStalk) but no luck. I've also used Greenify and it hasn't helped. I only install the apps I really need : Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Shazam, Hangouts, Youtube, Viber. That's it ! I even uninstall wallpapers and ringtones, plus all the apps that could be moved to the SD card are moved.
Does anyone have any suggestions ? Maybe increasing the internal storage on KitKat ? Or are there any tweaks I'm not aware of ?
Thanks in advance.
First backup your SD card. And then create external partition type ext4, using TWRP recovery and only TWRP (If you use any other tools, you will not be able to backup sd-ext using TWRP, and this is from my experience).
Next, get Link2SD app, and create mount scripts, reboot, set Auto linking checked and (also App, Library, and Dalvik checked). And link App, Library, and Dalvik files to sd-ext. If you paid for Link2SD+, you will be able to link internal data too. A warning though, keep important apps that starts up with android on internal memory such as launchers to prevent lag. Depending on what class your SD card, you might not notice any lag at all. I still have the 16GB that came with the phone, and it is not really fast, it is laggy but not much.
I know I will be lashed for saying this, but get Lucky Patcher (use it for legal stuff only, lol) and ODEX all your system files. Custom roms are unoptimized due to the need to have resource hooks and hacking the system files or debugging them. Creating Optimized dexs, they will occupy less memory and become faster. You will notice a significant improvement in speed.
Currently, I have SlimKat 4.4.4, 2.5GB sd-ext ext4 partition (~1.5GB used) and have 204MB free on internal. And around 143-145 apps installed ranging from few hundreds of KBs to tens of MBs. And the system is snappy.
Another warning if you use Titanium Backup, if you batch restore many apps at once, Link2SD might not be able to catch up linking apps as soon as Titanium Backup finish restoring the apps with data, causing memory go low or Titanium Backup freeze. A solution to this, only restore chunks of 10 or 15 apps at once, and wait till Link2SD done linking all of the apps.
After you are satisfied with the results, go to TWRP and backup EVERYTHING including sd-ext. EXCEPT "EFS" partition (if it does show up), which you might get bad IMEI number if you restore EFS again. You can enable compression to the backup, which helpfully compressed the ~2300MB files to ~1300MB for me.
Good luck. :good:
Thanks mate ! Gonna try ASAP !

First, thanks for writing this. Now, just a quick question, did you have had problems with apps disappearing after a update?
This begin happening like a month or so ago. After an app auto-update, it disappear, and I have to recreate the mount script on Link2SD and reboot for it to appear again. Now I disable auto-update, android only notify me of updates. Then I remove the links of the app to update on Link2SD, then update the app, and then I create the links again.
I have my device set up exactly how I like it, but I'm thinking about erasing my phone and starting up again.

I believe this happened to me long time ago when I used an older version of Link2SD. The newer version promised that it fixed Apps disappearing after booting. But, if that happens to you, you can fix this easily by "Relink all app files" from Link2SD to find any unlinked apps that are supposed to be linked and then reboot or soft reboot from Link2SD. Or you can "Clear 2nd Partition" and/or Dalvik cache to delete the apps that disappeared and reinstall them again. But an answer to your question, I didn't have any apps disappear on me when I started clean.
Also, for anyone deciding on ODEXing system files. Choose a ROM that have enough free space in system partition to do so. Some roms have less than 8MB in system partition (CM11!) which can cause problems when doing so. SlimKat 4.4.4 is really slim, you have over 40MB free in system partition. If you want to keep the ROM you are using, you can free more space in system partition by converting the Keyboard app to a user app, that is another 40MBs free (and if you did that, you have to reselect the Keyboard from Language input in settings, by un-ticking/re-ticking the checkbox, also don't link the Keyboard app to 2nd partition, it can cause lag). I noticed if you have less than 5MB in system partition, the performance of the phone suffers greatly.
From using Link2SD to view storage information, you will notice that Data partition and Cache partition are the same (I could be wrong here, but that what it seems to be). So it is important to have more free space in the Data partition.

I don't think that will affect ODEX files at all.
LoL, every time I read your username I read it as "Danganronpa" (Japanese word for bullet time) as the great Anime show (an adaptation of the PSP game). Please don't take that offensively :good:
Thanks !!!! Gonna report back with the performance !
Intial thoughts : *Very* good.
No matter what ROM I run on my GS3 when I go to the built in DOCUMENTS app (documentsui.apk) and click on recents files It will shows files that I no longer have on my phone..
The issue is when I try to clear them off or delete them.. it say's cannot delete files. They seem to be files i've downloaded on my computer... but I have wiped my download history on chrome on all my devices.
I have tried ccleaner, clearing the downloads and documents app from manage apps, clear out all data on my google account (I tried this because these recent files persists across all of my android devices.) completely wiped my phone and sd card.
