I'm install cm10 nightless on 21e
Now, after 2 days, in statrus bar i have a message about not enough space...
In settings > device > memory > first internal storage i see that used 82Mb from 0.98Gb, and other cards also have many free space...
With this problem applications random shutdowns, and other errors...
I'm try to format /cache and dalvic, not helped...
I'm can't find solution for this problem... Any ideas?

backup your data with ' My backup root ' or 'Titanium backup' or any other apps and then do a factory reset . then restore it
every app will back to your phone :good:

Can't install this applications because not enough space I'm going to wipe...
I have the same problem, on pacman its not using the proper memory card to save stuff on and after using Google maps navigation It was full after an hour....maybe something to do with the SD cards having different names??? Either way it makes it useless if you actually use your phone

Yep, thankyou I know how to browse the memory however that isnt the problem - The problem is the Gapps such as maps / navigation downloads on the fly when navigating, it fills the internal 1gb system partition in about 1-2 hours (tested twice yesterday on the way to and back from seeing Greg Davies (comedian) in Blackpool with a factory reset in the way.
It does however seem that this is a very common flaw / feature whichever way you look at it for CM10 and LG devices, if you use Root Browser / Astro / whatever, you can see that there is a mnt/sdcard which is part of the 1gb system partition, if you then look at storage/sdcard0 or storage/sdcard1 thats the problem - the apps are defaulting to the mnt/sdcard instead of storage/sdcard0 so the phone might as well be a 1gb internal memory as opposed to 8gb.
I have got ROM toolbox and used it to transfer maps over to the larger SDcard to see if this fixes it but I will have to wait and see when i go for a drive later.
I have also come across this and will try it out:
""How do I use the external SD-Card as the internal memory (swap SD-Cards)?""
Edit the 'vold.fstab' file on your phone under 'system/etc/' and change the lines to:
Code:
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.2/mmc_host/mmc1
dev_mount emmc /storage/sdcard1 9 /devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/mmc_host/mmc0
Obviously this is for a different phone so dont change that - but i imagine it will be something similar.
Doesnt work, makes having CM10 in any form 100% completley pointless unless you dont actually download anything to your phone - I simply cannot believe I am the only one having this problem or not being happy about it, I presume there is some easy fix or setting that will aloow the correct use of an internal SD card?
Any advice would be appreciated - at this moment I cant even install FIFA as thats all my space gone - even in ROMToolbox - select in apps2sd where the default save location is and it still puts it on the 1gb system partition.
And now again not enough space... I'm enable nightless update check and perform 2 update download, i think that it fill space mabey cache?
How i can show size of folders in internal card? Default file browser not show it...
Use ADB to check the /system? Since that's what it is most likely nagging about, or if you are still able ES file manager or something with root access.
You could always use the shell to make symlinks from directories to prevent some of the apps from saving stuff where it shouldn't. But I'm almost assuming that your log files are filling up fast and thus are causing the issues.
FINALLY!
GPS log ****s in /data/gps/log, size of this dir is 770Mb...
Solution:
1) Run: "Terminal emulator"
2) Type: "su" and press enter
3) Type: "cd /data/gps/log" and press enter
4) Type: "rm *" and press enter
If you whant to see size of logs Type: "du" and press enter after step 3

I am amazed at how little free space I have remaining on my 32GB N5. It shows 26.8GB total space, and I realize some is used for overhead.
Running stock rom and really not that many additional apps, and no pictures, movies, or music on the phone, I am at around 8GB free space remaining.
The phone’s storage tab reports:
Total Space: 26.08 GB
Available: 8.00 GB
Apps: 1.69 GB
Pictures & Videos: 1.19MB
Audio: 304KB
Downloads: 1.8MB
Cached Data: 44.09MB
Misc: 2.96GB
When I look in Misc, 2.43GB of the 2.96 is TWRP nandroid backups, 538MB is TI Backups, the rest is insignificant. Adding up all of what is shows as used totals about 3GB. Add the 8GB available, you have 11GB. So what happened to the other 15GB?
I have installed a utility to help me analyze space usage, and it shows the biggest space user is TWRP, with 2.4GB in backups. Those are important to have and I don’t begrudge the space, but man, this is supposed to be a 32GB phone.
One problem with disk space analyzers is that they tend to look for large files, but you can have 10,000 small files that will occupy more total space than a few large ones.
Those of you who are running relatively stock, how much free storage space do you have on your 32GB Nexus 5?

No problems with storage here. I'm on stock with custom kernel, 1 nandroid backup. I have about 16.5GBs left, where about 8GB is my music and the other 2-3 are my apps and the nandroid backups.
Here's mine... 32GB rooted running stock rom..
Thanks. I thought this was abnormal. Not sure how to go about finding that 15GB.
When I went to 4.4.2 I loaded 4.4 fresh and the side loaded 4.4.2.. Not saying you should do that.. But it will reset all the space on the phone

Thanks for the help, folks. I whacked it all the way back to stock, and installed the factory 4.4.2 image, then unlocked, installed twrp and supersu, and I am back in business with tons of free space. I have all my apps installed and now it shows over 23GB available.
I still have no idea where that 15GB went, but I figured whacking it was easier than troubleshooting it.

The "missing space" in the mass storage window is all the stuff on the /mnt/shell/emulated/ folder, outside of the /0/ (sdcard) directory.
For example, Nandroid Backups are stored there normally (at least CWM stores them on /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/ so they don't get wiped with the data on /0/). If you got your backups inside the /0/ folder you're in danger...
Check with the "diskUsage" app, on the root section, "mnt/shell/emulated" and you'll see what do you have there using your space (/obb/ is a symlink to /0/Android/obb/ and isn't using any space there really),

Thanks much. That diskUsage app is very cool, much better than the one I paid for.
nandroid backup create a new file each time you back up, so if you back up alot, you will found that the back up size is huge, just delete some old dated back up and keep the lastest one is ok

Where as this is the common lost space issue, its not so they don't get wiped. Its just easier to leave them there than detect if you're on a /0 device and dynamically set it. Twrp and philz do though.
Custom recoveries don't wipe /0 anyway - they run rm -Rf with an exclusion on 0.

Are you saying that CWM and so started saving backups out of "/sdcard" (now /0/), and now when you wipe on them they wipe everything (including their backups that are outside of /0/) but /0/?
It has no sense. They'd have failed big time if so...

No.
I'm saying in the CWM source code for FUSE devices, /sdcard is mounted to /data/media - which was fine until android 4.2 which brought multi-user support. So even though other recoveries have moved with the times and updated their mount point to be /data/media/0, CWM simply didn't bother changing. It's not because they're "protecting from wipe" (in fact CWM doesn't wipe /sdcard anyway, only stock recovery does that), it's just they never updated it. That's why the backups are "outside" of /sdcard. No other reason.
Having backups outside of /sdcard has it's downfalls too. You cannot easily copy data from /sdcard to computer. Or copy a backup back to the device that can be restored.

Then okay, they didn't even bother to update, but as a result, the backups folder is outside the /0/ media mount point, and so, any application that wipes the real /sdcard mount point (/0) like the stock recovery as you say, won't wipe them.
Thanks for the explanation tho. I don't understand why they didn't even move a finger, but as a result the backups are more protected if you keep changing stuff and you like cleaning /sdcard (real /0 ) without touching the outside /mnt/shell/emulated folder (which contains vital data like said backups or the copy of the EFS folder usually).

adb just isn't as convenient. But yes they are more protected but not by design. But also it has a problem in that your storage menu doesn't show true breakdown of space being used.

Yeah.. but that drawback is minor. I would opt for a simple solution: Some root variation of the used space. Either:
a) A mod that makes the storage option to include all the stuff on /data/media/ including everything outside /0 .
b) Using another program that shows the real usage.
I don't really think that nandroid backups are "user data" per se, since this is as vital as the system itself for the user. Its logical to have it protected somehow :fingers-crossed:.
Its protected by the user not being an idiot. If they are an idiot, losing their backup is karma

I clean-flashed the stock release version of Android L that just came out, and I noticed that my phone doesn't detect the correct amount of storage on the device. This is a 32GB Nexus 5, yet the storage page in Settings only lists 12.55GB of total space (screenshot). Windows (10) also lists only 12.5GB of total space (screenshot). What's wrong here?

If flashing userdata results in your device's internal storage being downgraded to 16GB according to the OS, just do a full wipe in recovery, that should fix it. This is a bug caused by the userdata.img file being distributed by Google.

Apologies, that quote assumes everyone knows what a Full Wipe is (that's not sarcasm, its a silly assumption). Wipe the data partition in recovery is what is being suggested here. In some recoveries, a full wipe is data and cache.
I will tell you that doing this in TWRP didn't solve the problem. I ultimately just formated via fastboot, as follows.
Code:
fastboot format userdata

Is there a way I can back up the contents of userdata then restore them back once the partition is the correct size? I'll go through the process of reinstalling everything again if I have to, but I'd really like to avoid that if at all possible. Can I MTP to it from TWRP?

Why not do a TWRP Backup of /data then restore it when you're finished?
I will say I was having the same issue, and I couldn't create a nandroid backup via CWM. Backs up boot image OK. Backs up recovery image OK. Backs up system OK. "Runs out of" storage space when backing up data. GRRR. SD card space free: 0 MB. False!
Wiped data partition in CWM. Started setup again. STILL 16GB.
Formatted using the Minimal ADB and Fastboot tool found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
(Code: fastboot format userdata)
Rebooted
THAT worked!!! I am just raging that I spent ~8 hours setting up and customizing everything last night, down to the last email account and icon and NOW it's all gone.

Ah, I thought a nandroid backup was a full partition backup, so doing that would just restore the entire partition with the incorrect size. I took a TWRP backup of data, wiped data, then restored the nandroid backup and all is well. Thank you!
I have been using this thing almost daily since I got it. It was rooted within a day of getting it and I've been running sbdags' ROMS on it exclusively. Many builds were lightning fast. Not so much lately. I am not getting the reported "buttery slickness" that others are getting. This has been on a few builds, so I'm posting here, as I dare not blame the ROM.
One of the biggest issues I see lately are how every app loads slow. Touches are slow in everything. Some touches take minutes to do the function requested. I know the touches are registering, as I have "show touches" on. Nav bar touches are the worst.
I thought about doing a full wipe, everything. Before I do that I want to backup everything, including the internal. When I connected it to my PC tonight, drivers took a minute to find and install, but the PC now sees the device. When I try to copy out the internal to my PC, it takes 30+ minutes to "calculate" the file size, then it only copies out one or two folders before a failure. Tried 3 different PCs, on more than 4 build+kernel configurations.
Is this thing on its last leg?
It's not on it's last leg.
Do you ever run fstrim on your partitions? It could clean up some of the eMMC.
What I would do in your case, is to manually copy the whole filesystem block-for-block eith dd to your computer. Littke chance of that failig.
Use linux for best redults. Install openssh for armv7h, onto the tablet, open a terminal, and...
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 | ssh [email protected]<yourbpc ip> "dd of=/home/<your username>/tf700-data.img"
or tar it up on your device to an sccard..
cd /data && tar c . | gzip -9 > /Removable/MicroSD/data.tar.gz
There are so many ways to get your data off the tablet. And all of them better than over MTP.
Upload to the cloud (Google, Dropbox etc etc)
copy to microSD
adb pull /sdcard/
use ES File Explorer or Superbeam to transfer files to a different Android device
use ES LAN feature to transfer data to a shared folder on your PC
.....
.....
If you never formatted data before it will most likely breathe a whole lotta new life into your tablet.
If you do it in TWRP remember, it can take 90 minutes plus!

I've already got gparted and linux live downloaded. That is why I was dumping my internal and external. Going for a total rebuild. Just need to determine what/how many partitions and what size. I want to keep some space on the external for the kids movies.

Why so complicated? Save internal SD, eject external SD and for the rest:

If you dump partitions, you dump also the errors (if any).
When I bought this phone (LG Optimus L90 D410 Dual) 2 years ago, when I checked the storage, system was using only 3GB, which left me with 5GB (it has a total of 8GB). But now, when I check how much system storage is using, it is using 5GB, leaving me with only 3GB of storage. How can I make my system data as small as it was back when I bought it?

clear junk data using clean master app or use sd maid pro for better cleaning..... and if you want your storage like before as was your phone new.. you shall carry less apps as less you can... and move apps to sd card for more system storage.....
The thing is, I already use Clean Master (frequently), the apps I install they all use the 3GB of storage I have and I can't move apps to sd card cuz' I'm on 6.0.1 (Cyanogenmod 13)
EDIT: System data was using 5GB before I installed CM 13

Try debloating your current android installation by removing system apps that you would not use. This can be accomplished using applications such as <Mod snip of warez reference > or system app remover in Google Play.
All the bloatware I have with CM 13 is some apps that only use KB of storage and Gapps (Nano), which they all sums up 293.6MB

The problem is that the disk is partitioned in such a way that leaves little space for apps.
What you should do:
1. Shrink /system partition where it has enough memory to do all it's stuff, but doesn't take up too much space. You said 3GB worked fine in the past and it probably will now.
2. Allocate the unused space to the /data partition
Warning: If repartitioning goes wrong it will most likely result in a hard brick. Know what you're doing.
Warning 2: Many people say you should never repatition your phone. You will no longer be able to instal updates and the space you take away from the system may be critical storage used for device recovery or some kind of backup or emergency mode. Try app2sd or (if you're hardcore into moving stuff) link2sd.
1st: I thought of resizing the system partition, so I googled it and couldn't find anything, so how do I resize a partition on my phone?
2nd: If I make a backup of my entire phone through TWRP in case anything goes wrong, if I hard brick my device could I just restore the backup?
3rd: I already tried App2SD and Link2SD, but when i partitioned my SD Card, it gave an error. (Gonna move the things inside the SD Card to my PC and try to partition it, so I can specify the error)
if you have upgraded Android it could be that the newer versions are larger than the old one due to more features?
It grew up to 5GB while I was still on stock 5.0.2

Can you download X-Plore, click on the 'Disk Map' on the right side bar and screenshot the results?

So it looks like your system is taking up less than a GB. Have you used Root Browser to check what is in that MNT folder? The reason I asked is because I checked my Nexus 6 and my LG G Pad 7.0 and I don't see the MNT folder anywhere. I am running Android 5.0.1 on both devices. Below are screenshots of both of my devices
There are 2 links to my home directory (on "asec, expand, media_rw, obb, sdcard, secure and user" folders), and a runtime folder, which has 3 folders(default, read and write), with the 3 of them being a link to the /storage folder

Does your phone support external SD card or is it all internal?
It supports external SD, but I "can't" move anything to it cuz I'm on 6.0.1, so I would have to transform it into Internal Storage and I could transform it into Mixed Storage, but the problem is that whenever my SD Card is Internal or Mixed Storage, it randomly pops out, forcing me to turn off my phone, re-insert my SD card and boot it again. I'm not with it cuz' currently I'm putting some pdf files to it on my PC

Have you tried using Apps2SD? Not sure if it works on 6.0 but it works on 5.0 and below.
I cannot get it to work cuz' when I partition my sd card and try to mount script, it showed up the error "file not found". When I checked the directory it specified, I realized that I didn't have the 179:66 file, the one I have is public:179_66. The temporary solution (cuz' the file got deleted when i rebooted my phone) was create a hard link from public:179_66 to 179:66, which resulted on the error "Invalid Argument" (Sorry if something's written worng, English is not my native language)

So back to the main issue, according to your X-Plore results, your system folder is only taking up 876mb. I would download a root file explorer such as Root Explorer and explore the various folders such as Data (2.99gb) and MNT (1.34gb) and see if you have some temp files you can get rid of. There are also apps such as CCleaner that will scan your device for temp/cache files you can safely remove to make more room.
