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.

yes bro i totally agree with you 16 gb internal storage is filled up very quickly if we install apps and play movies and songs and do some gaming
that's why i was asking that whether @nycdave was having sd card or not

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 !!!!!!!!!!!

right now there might not be any app which works with cm 10.2 cos it itself is not quiet stable right now
also to move apps to sd you can try app2sd script or any app which move apps to sd card on rooted phones

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.

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

Hi all,
I already searched around and could not find anything close to a solution. I have a huge ANNOYING problem. I haven't had this issue until recently. Or rather, I haven't noticed it until now. I flashed a new ROM coming from CM10 thinking it was the ROM, but I have tried two different ROMs and still the same problem. WTF!? I keep getting the message "Insufficient Space available" error when trying to install programs from Google Play or trying to side-load.
For some reason I have two internal storages when I look under storage in system settings. One is 1.97GB and the other is 11.24GB. In the smallest one, I have 209MB available. WTF!? Yet the other has 11.17GB. It's to the point where I have only 9 progrmas installed! 9!! Something's got to be wrong here, Please help!
What's the deal!? Anyone have a solution. I have done a factory reset and cleared everything. Still nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated.
*temporary fix*
OK, so I went in and cleaned out the folder /system/lost+found
It had 1.6gb of used space. Deleted it all and now I have that space available.
The main reason for this being a temporary fix is because I still have two internal storages. So eventually the 2gb where all the programs are being installed into, will run out again. So then phone is not taking advantage of all 14 GB available for storage.
-Carlos
Did you wipe data and caches?
I had this problem before, where I had gigabytes of files in the lost+found folder, which would take up the internal storage where apps are installed. When I went to another ROM, I did a clean flash, and even though I restored all apps from Google, I had much more space available.

I did all that. Just like always. Even before I flashed the new ROM, I cleared cache and wiped data. Even did Dalvik cache wipe. Still nothing.Where is this lost+found folder you speak of. Maybe go into it manually. But still doesn't explain all that available space.

Wipe data from google play services, google play, and google services frameworks. Clearing the data also wipes the cache for you. To do this go to Manage apps>all and pick those apps. It'll take some time to resync all your google info but after that you should be good.
So I just had this problem yesterday and what worked for me is to wipe Everything, except for the sd cards. That should clear out the data that is from your last rom.

My solution was to disable Sync App Data in my google account as I logged into a factory wiped phone. I had Despicable Me 2 installed on my tablet, but even though it wasn't installed on my phone it was still syncing the 600 (SIX HUNDRED) MB of App data (videos I assume?!). There is no easy way to know which apps are doing this(abusing data sync), especially if you have multiple devices using the same account but different app sets. Wiping /data and making sure not to sync app data was the only thing that worked for me. Once you are in, you may be able to delete that app data by delteing the app from the 'My Apps' 'All Apps' section, but there should really be a better way to manage this data.
Did anyone come up with a permanent fix for this? I have tried flashing several roms several times and always end up with the split storage.

I haven't found a permanent solution, but you can install apps on the external SD card. I think there is an Xposed module that will force apps onto the sd card as well.
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3113 (used to have jellybean 4.2.2.) and flashed the Resurrection Remix custom ROM and GAPPS on it. It's fantastic and running great!!!
The tablet came with 8 GB of space and I have a 32 GB sd card in it. I keep getting "not enough space" warnings from my SD card even though it's almost empty. I can't install any apps to the sd card, and there is not enough internal memory to store them either. This makes the tablet almost as useless as before I rooted and put a custom rom. Is there a way to get my sd card to stop thinking it's full/ allow apps to move over to it? Is the next step to partition the sd card and then use an app like link2sd? I've never done it before. Please advise, thank you.

The ROM and data are in separate partitions. It sounds like you didn't wipe your data when you flashed a ROM with a different version of Android. So , the data partition is still full with your old data and the apps that are installed there are inaccessible by the system. You need to go to recovery and wipe data, but not the sd card, and not internal memory. I don't believe a factory reset will help since it seems the system already can not see the partition the apps are installed on now.

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!

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.

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.

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.
