You're memory looks fine. The "missing" memory is used by android partitions.

Positive. You don't get 16 gigs of usable space, only the 12 you're showing

You have 12.6 gigs of usable space. If you add up all your data the difference is how much space you have left.

I think what he's trying to tell is:
Total Space: 12.55 (Used + available)
Used Space: (Apps+Pictures+Audio+Downloads+Cached+Misc) = Roughly around 5.194 GB
Available space: 2.83 GB
So Total Space shown there = 5.194+2.83 = 8.024 GB... Again this is a rough estimate as 1gb is termed as 1024 mb.
But actually it should total up to 12.55GB. So where's the 4.5GB gone?

Sigh. Fed up of saying this to be honest. Click the link in my signature and read my info thread about nexus 5 storage.. Section 5.4

Weird storage info...

Hey everybody i have a weird issue with my storage info...
Since i uninstalled GTA san andreas, the 3gb of data stayed on my phone but I can't locate it...
Is there any way to delete this invisible data from my phone without doing a factory reset ???
You can see on the attach that data is weird (based on what is written, i should have a lot more free space than that...)

use this app to find it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage&hl=en
Gta is in /sdcard/Android/obb
If its not there, the space isn't taken up by the game
Maybe some tips here

In my thread, I recommend "disk usage". Use it on sdcard and storage.
You shouldnt use es and not on emulated at all. Gives false results as you're not in a real location

when you first boot up the device, its starts remembering your data. the more you use it, the more data will get stored away.

Well ok i understand this.
Just know that this morning i still had the game installed, and when i uninstalled it, its data just stayed, i had exactly the same amount of free data than with the game installed. I just cannot locate these files anymore this is the main problem...

Nope. The files are on sdcard and are gone. "System data" is /data not /sdcard.
The gta files are as follows
/sdcard/Android/obb - 2.36 GB
/data/app-asec - 20.33 MB
/data/data - 10 MB
Nothing else. So anything you think is in "system data" that is "too big", is not related to gta.
This is all explained in my thread. /data is where apps apk and app / system data is stored. Big games also store files on /sdcard like gta

It will be rooted the same way like 4.4, and you will can upgrade the same way like you did with 4.4.1, 4.4.2, 4.4.3 and 4.4.4. Is it magic or something?

Is there one for N5? I can't find one and my ROM doesn't have it built-in either.
I've seen some tutorial on how to make it, but it's also ROM specific and I really don't know how to do all that, nor have the time to, really.
