[Completed] After updating ROM, my phone has less storage available for use, HELP! - XDA Assist

Originally, I had the Slimbean 4.2.2 ROM on my Galaxy S3 (Non-international version), and everything was fine, but I wanted to update to the SlimKat 4.4.4.
So, with TWRP, I decided to "Format Data" to wipe everything and start over. (I did this numerous times because for some reason the TWRP version I had -- 2.6 -- couldn't install the 4.4.4 ROM. Only when I updated the TWRP version to 2.8 did it install)
Now, however, the usable internal storage is in total only about 3GB. I have a 12GB phone. Somehow, there's NINE whole GB of "system files" which I can't mess with. My phone doesn't need 9 GB of system files...
When I go to "Storage" in settings, this is the breakdown:
Total Space: 12.05 GB
Apps: 0.94 GB
Pictures, Videos: 181 MB
Audio : 360 Mb
Downloads: 26 MB
Cached Data : 103 MB
Misc: 27 MB
AVAILABLE: 1.38 GB <--- What the heck? The sum of all the components should allow for more space than this??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Completed] [Q] Galaxy Note 2 SGH-T889V Custom ROM Installation

Hi, I recently joined XDA to get information about how to install or modify custom roms.
I firstly tried to search before making this thread, but I couldn't get exact information that I wanted. (Or, my searching was crap..)
I'm very new to Android (was using iPhones), so I would be very appreciated if you can help starting from basic knowledge.
Device Type - Samsung Galaxy Note II
Model Number - SGH-T889V
Android Version - 4.4.2
Baseband Version - T889VVLUDNH2
Kernal Version - 3.0.31-1736364
Build Number - KOT49H.5889VVLUDNH2
Carrier - WIND Mobile
1.
What is the most stable Custom ROM for my device?
I saw Cyanogen, MIUI, OMNI, etc.
However, I couldn't select anything since I didn't know wheter they support my device or not.
2.
Can you help me to find information about installing them? (from #1 question)
3.
I saw that Note 2 can have Note 3 or 4 roms.
I want to know the difference between note 2 and note 4 roms. (like more stable, fast, compatible, etc)
4.
I saw that my device could be locked by WIND.
How can I check if it's locked without getting new SIM card?
If you need more information, I can definitely provide them, so feel free to tell me!
Thanks to whoever would help me.

[Completed] sprout cubby firmware on galaxy tab 3

I bought this for my 3 year old for Christmas and it isn't powerful enough to run abcmouse.com apps. U was wondering if it is possible to install this firmware on a galaxy tab 3. I like that it locks down to a child safe environment with funny mode so I want to convert my tab 3 to a cubby so she can play the apps that I want her to. Is this stock firmware available for download and will it work on tab 3?

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Well, there wouldn't be a Sprout Cubby firmware for anything (I assume) other than the Sprout Cubby, I did find a firmware with a kids mode that should work if you have the 7" model (any other sizes I would try something else).
If you could verify your model number (should be SM-T210, and can be found in Settings > About Tablet), you should be good to go to post in the following thread (after getting an XDA account, if you don't have one already):
> Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 > Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [HELP THREAD] Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T210 | Ask any question | Noob friendly
There you can ask for options about Kids Mode.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
