Hi
This phone has 1GB of internal memory from which about 330MB is traceable, but it's used for the operating system applications, settings, drivers and core.
For storage proper you use SD card.up to 32GB.

Depending on which ROM you have installed, it takes up around half of the 1G internal storage. Then there are other partitions on the internal storage (OneNAND-Flex nand flash) that also take up space, like kernels and bootloaders.
I use app2sd and have a 16G sdcard. No problems here.
Hope that helps.

What do you use for you app2sd? Is there a script that can just move everything to my ext4 partitioned sdcard? Btw I'm used to HTC phones, so far they have been the easiest at rooting, n such.

Hi everyone! My SGS 4G doesn't see his internal memory, like it is not there. This issue happened after flashing the device. The Baseband version was KG4 now I downgraded to KC1 trying to fix the problem. Any ideas why the phone can't recoghise his internal memory?
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace, and a week or so ago I was trying to free up internal memory. I often have a low memory warning, due to the phone only something like 180mb internal memory. While looking to see what I could delete or move tto fix this, 30mb was suddenly freed without me doing anything.
I know it wasn't just the reading updating, as I was on low memory for weeks on end. Since, I have re-flashed a ROM (carbon Sunday by jusada if it helps) and I'm back on low memory.
I was wondering whether anyone knows why this would happen, and how I can get it to do it again.
All help appreciated

Maybe u cleared the cache?!
Anyway off topic, read about sd-ext partitions for more internal space
I think this will help you. if it does please THANK me.

Can't answer your question, but a little tip for people suffering for low user space; download Link2Sd from Market. Google for tutorials.
I'm rooted so I can move apps to the sd, its just some (widgets) dont work on the sd, Ill have a look at partitioning thanks, I dont think it was the cache, thanks anyway though

apps2sd ? right ?!
..mmmh..probably wrong to say here, but..the apps moved to the external sd card are expecting to be slower then before, when were on the internal one?
app2sd or use sd-ext partitions is your way to fix lower internal memory problem
Isn't app2sd built into GB? Am I missing something? Im using CyanogenMod 7

Apps2sd is the process of moving app files and not data to SD card after boot. This still keeps around 1-5 MB on the phone memory and can be done without root on 2.2+
A2SD involves partitioning ur memory card and using it as phone memory. This is mounted before boot so it's faster. Even the dalvik cache can be moved here
I have a 160 MB phone memory and after partitioning and installing 230 apps, I still have 120 MB free
THANK me if this was helpful

You Can Surely Have the Maximum Internal Space by Installing Darktremore App2sd script and moving Dalvic Cache to sd-ext using Apps2sdGui.
Although your internal Memory will still be used but very little bit, and only for house keeping as Some Apps Require Some of Their Files to be copied on Internal Phone Memory.

I took this advice from ArmorD and have more memory available now. Would apps2sd give me more free space than link2sd?

OK I was flashing the paranoid android ROM a few months back on my galaxy tab 2 7.0 3113 and I lost half of my compacity I am the type of person who downloads watches lots of movies and listen to alot music I would really like to have it back. any suggestions on how to fix it please hey buddy help anyone okay
Have you been making nandroid back ups ? How much is under "Misc" ? Looks around 700mb ? ( but the yellow maker is covering it up ):laugh:
Looks to me you need to do some house keeping to tidy up the storage space, easy enough to do.
What recovery are you using on the device ?
you've got OVER 2 gigs of app data folders on the internal there, open your file browser and look for folders of apps you've deleted and delete them, also remember YOU HAVE A MICROSD SLOT, you can add more storage for music and movies.
do any of your streaming apps keep a large "buffer", could try clearing app data.

that doesnt explain why my 8gig tab 2 only has 4gigs usable
Its the system partition that eats up the rest, as far as I know. That is why only just under
5 gigs is available. The settings menu doesn't count the system partition as usable space.

That's just the way it is. Kind of like when you insert a 32gb micro sd card you automatically lose nearly 4gb down to 29.7gb.
If you've been making backups chances are the cwm folder has a nice size file well over 1gb

I don't think trays how it works when I frost got it I believe the system file was around .5 to 1 gig maybe
So I doubt I would lose 4 almost 5 gigs from it
And I have and 8 gig microSD card now but I would love that 4 gigs back thats 3 movies...
Also I deleted a bunch a system files that no one ever needs so I have more free space
but damn I need it all back

Rooting has basically nothing whatsoever to do with the problem. Why does everyone think that just cause u rooted ur phone/ tablet now becomes mentally retarded?
I would look around in the system files. I had the same problem, there was this file idk how the hell got there and was like 4 gigs. Just try to locate the file and delete it.

Pretty sure you can go to a folder browser then couldn't u sort all them by size by bigger sizes descending. So what i mean is the biggest files would show up on top. Then you could look around and see if one of the bigger files is not needed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970961 here is another thread talking about pretty much the same thing. I agree with one of the posters, about just swapping the storage with the external sd card. I haven't personally had great luck with android 4.2.x, but there is a great script for p311x on xda that swaps them on ics and jb 4.1.x just fine. Its what I use, and also why im not running anything past 4.1.2.

You could delete all the files you want from the system partition and it still wouldn't become usable.

I use a program which sorts files by size. It didn't find it so it must be hidden or similar

First of all, sorry if you thought this thread would have the solution for you!
Repartitioning the One S is basically the sole reason I have been looking forward to S-OFF, but I have not been able to find anything much info that I can understand/work with that is relevant to our phone.
I also think that not many people are looking for this, so with this thread let's share any information we can find and hopefully get more people involved.
Here's some stuff I found, hopefully it will serve as a good starting point.

I own a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, its running CM10 and i did not like the storage problems so i decided to swap the mounting points by editing the "vold.fstab" file, i swapped the internal and external perfectly without any issues or slowdown. But now CM10.2 is out and i would like to upgrade but i cannot find the "vold.fstab file, i read that this version no longer uses it, so i searched all over this site and google but have not found any answers, so here i am asking for help to swap the internal and external mounting points on CM10.2 and if anybody can help me that would be great and i do not like directory bind, or symlinks, Thank You in advance

Sorry this isn't relevant to your question, but I was just curious what did you edit in the file to swap the mounts. I would like to use my removable SD card as the phones main storage?

I found the vold.fstab file in the stock ics rom. i was guessing it would be the same as the cm roms. its not. so far i can think of switching the code under #internal sdcard with the code from #external sdcard. has anyone ever tried this?
