I wiped my Inspire using Full Wipe 1.5 but I noticed after I flashed a new ROM that half my memory is gone. It comes with 2 gigs on board but after the flash and install it was at 800 MB...I didnt even use a third of that before I flashed it. I was only sitting at 1.7 gigs with all the same apps.
My question is will going into Clockwork and clearing the cache partition absolutely erase all the app data, user data, etc. and bring me back up to 2 gigs? While keeping the ROM and everything else intact obviously. Im going to assume that it does so, sorry for question 2 I know you should do this before flashing a new ROM but is there any danger to doing it while you're already up and running? Other than having to reinstall all your apps, etc.?
Thanks guys I really appreciate the help.

Maybe the ROM you installed takes up more ROM, some roms take up less than others. Like how an AOSP roms take less rom than Sense.
Hmm I wouldnt think so since its the stock ATT rom. Just bloatware removed, new OC Kernal, etc. I cant believe it would take up almost twice as much more space. I could be wrong though?

I would guess that perhaps the stock ROM has an issue displaying the correct amount of RAM. this is pretty common in retail ROMs.
The custom ROM you were using may have had a hack patched in to display the correct amount, or may have been RAM optimised.
If it's internal storage space you're talking about though, it's not uncommon for OEMs to 'reserve' a block of space for 'system use'.

That would be insane if that was the case. The stock rom out of the box show 1.7 gigs free after all my apps were install. I do a wipe, flash a cooked version of the stock rom and now Im down to 900 MB left? I just dont get it.
Yes Im talking about internal storage. I just wanna know where a whole gig went though this is supposed to be the ATT rom just tweeked.
So you guys dont think clearing the partition cache would clear it up and make a difference? If it reads 800 MB its gonna be 800 MB even after a fresh clear or factory reset?

That's a bit clearer I got a little confused there, sorry.
Wiping the cache wouldn't be a bad idea. The other possibility is that the ROM has set up some sort of EXT3 or 4 partition in your data space for caching and 'speed'. I've seen this done before, although usually on the external SD.
I'd wipe cache and see how you go

Sorry I should've been a bit more clear in the op. I'll do that and let you guys know how it goes. Be back in a few mins
Alright Im back and it didnt do a thing. Maybe a factory reset/wipe in Clockwork? That wouldnt get rid of root or ROM would it? Just erase EVERYTHING else?

Yes. Im using an HTC Inspire 4g and the ROM is called the TPC Inspire 4G Stock ROM optimized. Here is the link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982963
Im thinking about maybe doing a factory reset from inside the phone, not Clockwork, to see if that gives me back the 2 gigs. If it doesnt work and Im stuck at 900 mb again after the reset Im gonna be completely stumped.

I believe it's worth PMing twopumpchump about this one, I couldn't find any mention of this issue, although I noticed the dalvik heap size has been changed and quite a few APKs have been moved around between partitions, although I doubt it would be 800MB worth.
My suggestion would be to try a factory reset first, then maybe contact twopump. Kudos to you for trying first Many wouldn't.

Thanks dude I appreciate it The factory reset wont erase Clockwork or root will it? Just all the apps/data on the phone?

You're welcome mate. Factory reset won't lose you CWM or root, you will lose all user data, apps etc. though.
Good luck with it mate!

Not sure if this will help, or if you've done it already, but go into advanced in CWM and wipe your Dalvik cache also. See if that makes any difference.

Done that and didnt work I'm just gonna have and see what TP has to say.
I did a bit more of a search for you last night, reckon it might be to do with the sizes of your /system and /data partitions. I can't help you with that one bud, sorry see how you get on with TPC.

If it matters, i'm using a HTC Sensation running the stable release of cm9. The problem is on the storage settings it says i have 151mb free. However in the apps settings it shows that i have 507mb free. Why does is have such a big difference? I believe its 151mb since updating/install big apps would give me an "insufficient storage space warning"
One more thing. When i open the apps settings it shows 152mb and then slowly increase to 507mb.
Hope you guys dont get confused with the pictures. 2nd picture shows 144mb, whereas I said I had 151. I deleted something after I took the screenshot.

Which ROM did you come? Stock HTC or another Custum ROM?
Err cyanogenmod 9 is a custom rom.
Sent from my HTC Sensation
The CM9 is a custom rom is clear to me ....
My question, Which rom you had on it before the CM9?
Ohhhh. Was on a stock HTC sensation rom running ice cream sandwich.
Sent from my HTC Sensation
Ahhhh ok .... did you just install the Update.zip from CM9 over the Stock ROM
or did you do a clean wipe? (Factory Reset / Dalvik Cache / Data wipe) maybe a re-partition
I did a full wipe. Factory reset. Wipe cache, dalvik cache as well. Oh wait. It was stock from > cm9 rc1 > cm9 I simply flashed the stable one over the release candidate
Sent from my HTC Sensation
a little confused ^^
when you made the full wipe?
1. From Strock to cm9 rc1
2. From cm9 rc1 to CM9 stable
If 1. I would try to make a Full wipe and then a new base install of the CM9 stable Version
If 2. I know no solution
From my experience: For larger changes to the operating system is a full wipe recommended to protect against problems
I hope I could help you out a bit
I did a wipe from stock to cm9 rc1.
Would wiping and reflashing solve it? I couldn't remember if I've faced the same problem before...
Sent from my HTC Sensation
Whether it sure works I do not know, however I also had a similar problem with my I9000
and after a clean reflash everything was ok.
Thanks anyway. I think gonna just delete some stuff first instead of a wipe.

Hi, I find it strange to ask this question because i don't even know how this thing is possible, but here's the thing: I don't really know when exactly it happend, but now if I check my device storage I can see that I have 12.5 GB to use (total, not just available)
The device I bought is 32GB originally. I know that the OS should take few GB of the total storage because I checked it when i bought the device and found that before I did anything - I had less than 32 GB, something like 26 and it's normally.
as i said, i dont know how it's even possible. maybe there's a problem with the sd card or something but i don't know what to do and how to solve this situation.
thanks from above!
All you need to do is flash the stock recovery, if you're not already using it, and then wipe cache and do a factory reset in it. It's not that uncommon of a problem if you've recently flashed the factory image and didn't do a full wipe.

Based on my reading... Dalvik cache is like prefetch files on windows... correct?
I was just wondering, if i have been playing around with, but not keeping, quite a few apps, is it a good idea to clear this out? Will it wipe any important data?? Im on 4.0.4, samsung stock but rooted rom (this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994902 pure stock version)
Ive been having issues with apps freezing up my phone that used to have no issue at all, and im just hoping maybe i can help things along.

it's good to wipe it form time to time
don't worry ...if you wiped the cache and dalvick cache nothing will happen and you will not lose any data
My nexus 5 keeps telling me I have used 10gig out of the available 12gig even though I have no data on it, I tried reseting to factory settings but to no avail, I need help
I'm guessing that you have a 16GB model and it shows only a small amount of free space? This is a known problem after flashing, but normally a factory reset fixes it. What have you just done to discover this? Have you just flashed a new ROM?
Do a Google search for "nexus 5" missing storage and you should find the answer in XDA. I've suffered this myself, but such a long time ago that I can't remember the exact fix, and I'd rather you discovered the right way than for me to give you misleading info.
Edit: Though having said this, I may as well start you off...

3) 32 GB device shows the storage of 16 GB version
Cause: Unknown. This has actually been happening since the Nexus 5 was released
Fix: Wipe cache and data
(Credit to danarama).
If nothing else works, you could try using fastboot commands to erase userdata. If that doesn't work, try flashing a stock ROM including the userdata.img file.
It's actually the 16gig model. I just noticed the problem yesterday, I have never flashed or rooted it before. But I'll try what you guys said and I'll give the feedback. :good:
The article I mentioned just happens to refer to the 32GB model, but I think it probably applies also to your 16GB one. Good luck - let us know if you get a result.
I found the solution!!
Okay so i finally fixed it. I had to flash cwrm on it then i wiped data/factory reset from cwrm then i rebooted and it solved it.:good:
