[Solved]: Disk size is only showing 9.9GB

When I have my phone plugged into the PC, I noticed that is showing up as only having 9.9GB of total space. Is my on board SD card corrupted or something?

You can only use about that much for storage. It's normal. Please change the prefix of this thread to [solved]

No....the other partition of your memory Is for the phones software files, Rom, and some other things. It's not true 16 gigs....all phones are like that even the iPhone. Any phone that has built in memory for storage is like this

It's about right. A part of it is allotted to system storage (ROM)
If you have Titanium backup it will show you how it's broken down.
If not use "Quick System Info" I don't have the HOS with me or I would tell yo exactly how it's broken down.
Off my head about 1.8 is for system (ROM) maybe 1.5 or so for internal storage
a little over 10 for sdcard.

Once we get s off well be able to partition and get abit more space

As others said you don't get to use that full 16GB. There really should be a marketing law so they can stop this sorta confusion. Kinda ripping us of here.

Here's a screenshot, the bottom show how the internal is partitioned.

I'm using Foldermount from the playstore.
You can copy the content of programm u need on the SD card, create the same folder structure on the internal storage, and create a link between the 2 with it.

Directory Bind is what youre looking for. Its hasnt got a great gui and can be a bit hard, but it lets you link whole folders on the sd.
As an example for games you could link your obb folder totally on the sd.

Also you can swipe memories if you want which also good..

Why not just use the external2internal mod to swap your external memory with your internal? I have been using it for months, and it works perfect for me:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, my 64gb micro SD is being read as my internal memory, and vice versa. A must have for me, as I have over 25gb of games alone.
You can find it in the development section. As that thread is full of confusing people, you can also PM me your email address and I can send the one file you have to flash in recovery.
Keep in mind that the mod works best with Perseus or Neak kernel.

you were actually right about the memory. However the internal storage is still very low about 2 Gb, see attached screenshot

How do I do that ?

So I reverted back to Stock ROM and seems to be fixed got now 11.87 GB of Total space. I dont know whether that is the actual space I am supposed to get or not, but certainly its an improvement.

I am also trying to create movable Firefox, GMaps etc. Keep in touch if you are interested.
You can give me list of all apps in which you are interested. I will try to make them movable to SD.

[Q] How to Resize Internal Partitions?

Hi,
Lastly i've installed a lot of apps and the space left on /data is almost gone (just 130mb) and Google Play don't want me to install any apps that overcome 30mb..
I found it curious that with 130mb space left i couldn't install apps, but what makes me really curious is the fact that /system and other useless partition, which i believe they're on the NAND (internal memory) are almost completly free, which means i'm wasting space for nothing..
A screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, there's so much space wasted..
How can i resize internal partition so i can assign those 300-400mb of wasted space to /data?

No one?

I not expert but I ve understand that the partition size are decide by rom during installation process and can not resized.

I believe the partition sizes are hardcoded and would require S-OFF & knowledge on how resize the partitions.

Thanks for the answer.. But, how come no one here has ever tried to resize partitions? I mean, look at how much free wasted space there are D:
Also, hardcoded where? Bootloader?

Only one genius is able to resize internal partitions due to the myriad of partitions on the sensation. You'll have to ask this guy: http://thalamus-hacking.blogspot.co.uk/
Edit: Turns out he retired from Devving due to trolls and kangers judging from his blog so we can't really do much.
