I have Samsung galaxy S3, and I flashed 2-3 custom ROM on it. as i am seeing that flashing custom ROM is reducing my Internal SD card space. When i was purchased the phone i had 11 GB of Free space now its only 4 GB. my question is how to recover my old space from earlier partition. Is there any method to get it back.

Hi all, i know this will be an old subject but the truth is i had a Desire 2 yrs ago before i started to play around with rooting and flashing etc.
Now i own my second Desire and it is rooted, s-offed, clockworkmodded and flashed with cm7.1.
I have recently been looking at improving my internal storage space and from what i can gather there are a few ways to do such a thing.
The problem is they seem a little bit too complicated for me not to mention a bit risky.
I am wondering if anyone has a simple method that will give me more internal space.
My sd card is partitioned (8 gig total 1gig ext3) i just don't know where to go from here.
Here are some details of my device.....
CWMod 5.0.2.0
CM7.1 Android 2.3.7
HBOOT 6.93.1002
Please Help!!
UPDATE:
I have managed to gain a little more space on my internal storage.
I found an app in the market called A2SDGUI and it allowed me to move the Dalvik Cache to the sd ext resulting in my storage jumping from 44mb to 107mb.
However, i am still looking for an answer to using the sd ext partition for all my apps since i have 1gig of space available.
Looking forward to hearing from someone!

CM 7 doens't have APP2SD integrated, this is why all the apps are installed onto the internal memory.
If you install any custom rom on XDA with APP2SD (MIUI, leeDroid for instance), you won't have any space problems.
Don't need to do anything else beside flash the rom, since you already have partitioned your SD card.
I just got this phone today. I rooted with OneSuperclick without any issues; however, I am running into storage problems right now. I don't have a microsd card on hand to store kernel and custom rom. Currently, I cannot save any files to my "SD Card" (internal memory). How can I go about flashing it now? I have 384MB left.
I've never had these issues before rooting other phones.
you need an sd card to put the rom you want to flash on. you can't even flash from internal memory because it needs to be mounted and unmounted for the flashing, I think anyways.
Spend $5 and buy a 2 or 4 gig one, they're cheap now.
I was just confused cause I had no issues before with rooting and flashing a Samsung Captivate and Galaxy SII without a SD Card, so I was wondering what the issue was.
Thanks!

I bought my daughter a refurbished Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3113) for Christmas 2012. If I recall, this was the 8GB model and there were two partitions. It has been running the stock OS, no custom ROMS. I cannot recall if I have ever installed any system updates. A few months ago, the internal SD partition just disappeared. I "fixed" this by installing a 16 GB SD card and redirecting as many of the apps as I could to save to the external SD. The tablet has been running terribly lately (lagging, locking up) so I decided to see if a factory restore would fix both problems. I don't know yet if it fixed the sluggishness, but the storage capacity is showing the same thing, total capacity of 4.59 GB.
Where did that partition go? Can I get it back safely? If I can get it back, can I trust it? She is only 8, so it's not like she is using this for critical data. If I have to, I will just stick to the existing fix, using the external SD card for storage until it is time to upgrade in a year or so.
Thanks,
Paul
Ok, so I installed all of the updates after doing a factory restore, and now the capacity is showing the full 8 GB. Now I am not 100% sure if there were two partitions to start with or not. I know that we also had an issue with her original SD card, so maybe that is what i am thinking of.
Anyway...it appears to be fixed for now.

Recently I was flashing PAC rom. To do that In recovery (TWRP) I wiped every thing. All the options in Advance Wipe in recovey except USB OTG. When I checked the available space, it was showing 12 GB available. Without flashing the ROM.
Mi4i is a device with 16 gb storage. So, there must be reserved space for ROM to install.
AOSP rom will never use 4 GB of space, So from that 4 GB reserved space, there might be 2 GB of space still available.
Is it possible to resize the partition table and increase the usable space??
Any help will be useful?
Thank you in advance.......
I lost space in my phone as I swapped the internal and app storage(While working on flashing custom ROM). I do not know how to swap back. Internal memory is 11.81GB of which 10GB was available for user and remaining for apps(I think) and now it is reverse and I can access only that remaining 1 GB. The device is rooted and has default Samsung ROM . Please Help...

Greetings and welcome to assist. Formatting your internal storage should ne the easiest way, flashing a stock rom with odin and factory reset will do it. If you know which app you used to swap there is probably a way to do it in the app though
Good Luck
