[Q] SDCard/root memory Issue - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, guys, this morning I updated from Developer Preview to Lollipop.
Everything is worked fine but there is a little problem. My internal memory (and also sdcard) is 13Gb, but I've a Nexus 5 of 32 GB. I think there is a hidden partition that i can't see. (look screenshot). I can see the sdcard, is not the problem from KK to L. I've already execute that guide.
I installed Lollipop with a Factory Reset from DevPrev, a system wipe and flash the img files. It's not the first time that i do with this method, i follow every step of vomer's guide. But why this problem? I hope that you guys know more than me.
If you have some question of details just ask me! (sorry for the english )

there's a ton of threads about a 32GB nexus only having 13GB free. please use search.

[INFO] The developer FAQ thread (all you need to know about things like ABD and REWT)

Here is a list of Frequently Asked Questions for all you people coming here with questions like OMG HAO DO AI REWT MI TAB or MI ABD NUT WERKAN PLZ HALP, and the ever popular CN I RUT 0423 WIT DIS?
Lucky I have compiled the most popular questions and listed them here, with full explenation and solution.
Enjoy!
1. HAO DO I REWT MI TAB? I DUNNO WHER 2 FIND DIS THENKS.
Rooting your Transformer can indeed be done with the link here, however you will need some stuff beforehand like adb to get your Transformer rooted and ready to use that method. So for you guys who do not feel comfortable with that, do this.
2. WUT IS ABD PLZ HALP I DUNNO HOW 2 USE OMG SO CONFUZD
To get adb up and running, you simply have to follow the guide here. Oh, and you need the Asus PC Sync software from here. Simply select your PC operating system, download and install the Asus PC sync software.
Alternatively you can use the guide made by a kind xda member (screenshots included) here.
3. CN I R00T MY 0423 BUILD I WANN HAS ROMS?
Yes, indeed you can with the guides linked above.
4. OMG I HAS US/TW/UK/MOON TF101 CN I FLASH WW ROMS?!
After rooting and installing CWM you can flash any ROM you like, the regions only matter for stock updates at this time. So go ahead and flash any ROM you like.
5. WUT IS CIFS.KO && TUN.KO?!
If you don't know what it is, don't worry about it, it means you probably don't need it. But in the offchance you do need tun.ko for VPN, here is a link to installing openVPN.
6. I ROOTD AND MI CAMERA ++ BT NO WERKAN, WAT I DO?
Simply flash the BLOB_V5 file available in the root guide, use the same steps you used to flash (so not all the steps) BLOB_V4, just replace the CWM_BLOB_V4 parts with CWM_BLOB_V5 and that should fix your issues.
7. OMG MI SD CARD NO WERK FOR FLASHAN ROMS WHAT DO?!
Try and use fix permissions from CWM, or try a couple of times. Another fix for the sd card issue you can try, is to put the non working sd card into an android phone then go to storage on the phone and erase the sd card. reinserting that card into the transformer will then allow it to mount to CWM.
if it still doesn't work your card is probably hated by CWM (some are, for what reason we don't know) and you'll need to use a different SD card.
8. HAO 2 OVERCLOCK, MOAR CLOCK
You can overclock if you have root and CWM already. Simply go here and flash this kernel through CWM.
9. CN I FLASH BLOBZ THRU CWM
There is currently 1 way to flash the blob through a zip update if you are not on the 0325 build. This is by flashing the latest Modaco ROM which has the BLOB included.
10. CN I UNREWT MI TAB? I HAS NO WORRANTIES ANYMOAR
Yes. Simply flash the blob from the Asus website using the same steps you used to flash the CWM blob. here is also a guide.
11. I UPDAETED TO 3.1 NOW REWT NO WERK, WAT DO?
Download the 8.2.2.9 update from Asus and copy it to your internal memory to downgrade or do this.
12. MI TAB IS A BRIK, IT NO DO ANYTHING OMG HALP D: <- sadface
You can use this method to try and unbrick it, if that doesn't work, you're pretty much screwed.
13. WAT MI BATTERI IS DRAINING WTF SHUD I DO?
Well you see we made a shocking discovery today, electronics use electricity while turned on! I know! We were just as surprised as you are!
OMG CANNOT FIND MI INFO WTF IS FORUM SERCH?
For all of you slightly special people out there, here is a list of other threads that might help you find what you need. These have been cherrypicked by moi, feel free to post important additions.
[INFO] The Ultimate Transformer Information Thread - Pretty much what the title states, it has links to just about anything.

While I think a FAQ is an excellent idea, your implemantation is a little uncalled for, not to mention annoying.

How so? It has all the frequently asked questions explained in a proper and clear manner. Or maybe I just have a different sense of humor.
Nice FAQ! And i like your sense of humor

Find myself agreeing with msw1382 I'm afraid. Takes too long to read. Almost need some sort of leetspeak translator to get what you're saying. Guess I'm too old.
I believe the op is a little tired of people asking the same questions over and over. I thought it was kinda funny...

Haha I love it, that has to be the funniest first post I've read on these forums. Anyone who has ever spent any length of time helping out newcomers must surely be able to relate to this. Its horses for coarses tbh but your sense of humour is right up my street.
Also informative at the same time.

I edited it a little to improve readability while trying to keep the original charm, hope it helps.
seshmaru, a fix for the sd card issue, #7 is to put the non working sd card into an android phone then go to storage on the phone and erase the sd card. reinserting that card into the transformer will then allow it to mount to CWM.
just thought you could add that into your list. its been verified by myself and then a couple others tried it also.
i find it hilarious how you worded the headings haha.

Added your fix and credited you in the OP.
I have to agree with some of the previous posters, that this is not easy to read, and the humour is old and nothing special (and repetitive for that matter - one witty question in that style would have gotten the same 'humorous' point across while still keeping the FAQ useful). This way people will probably hardly use it, and certainly not refer to it. That's a shame...

Lol, I think its fine. It's only the headings, not like he/she typed up the actual useful information that way, its still very readable and VERY useful for anyone needing the info.
Sorry, I have to state I find the post annoying as hell. It take four times as long to attempt to read and looks worse than my 7yr old's text messages. But, for any who are so desperate for help that they make it through child speak...
Hopefully, it helps them out.
It's only the headers that are slightly more difficult to read, the actual content is written in perfectly comprehensible english. Besides by having to decipher it, atleast they'd be doing SOMETHING for the info instead of gettng it simply handed to them.

Storage Swap

Hi, i'm facing some problems with the swapping i did (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857391)
I honestly don't know what to do, i'm not very good at these things. I tried it twice on my samsung galaxy note 10.1 and both times the swap is sucessful BUT it still saves in the internal.... I'm running stock kernel if you need more information you can ask. Oh and I did it with script manager
Please, help me. I really need the space
(using Sandisk ultra class 10 64 gb)
No suggestions at all?

Give it time. Not everyone checks XDA on an hourly basis.
So when you run the script it moves everything and does what it should? But then you get new apps and they continue to install on internal?

Exactly...I really would appreciate any help I could get, maybe some new steps? I'm really not so good though I believe I followed the steps well.
Thanks for your time
If you need more information ask please, and my android version is 4.1.2 (don't know if its useful)

Did you happen to read anywhere that it needs to be run again when adding new apps? Like it only moves them the one time and it's not like a setting that future apps go to sd.

If i understood corectly, I didn't read anything like that but i made the script (via script manager) executable and to run at boot. It should just install in the external without boot or anything else needed.
I read on other forums about other devices that the easiest way to swap internal with external is by modifying your vold.fstab, but the mine is really wierd (I can post it if needed) , it's not like the other peoples devices. Maybe its that way on all SG note 10.1 because no one else has done it on the note 10.1.
Maybe I should flash a new rom? Like omega? I really don't know
So, I understood what I was doing wrong. I had updated the version of my device and the script wasnt compatible with JB. Though I have a quick question for anyone. Now that I used the one for JB and swapped the internal with external when i download a game for example Iron man (which is 800MB) a small part (around 10MB) goes in the internal,that happends with all games (some even take more 15MB or so). Is that normal?
EDIT: Nah, it still fully installs in the internal, swap is still sucessful though, at least it shows so.... Maybe if I can go back to ICS?

Internal Memory running low - MacLaw 4.4

I have installed MaclawStudio Kit Kat ROM (version of March 17th, 2014) in my Galaxy S2 Lite (a.k.a Galaxy S Advance).
Everything was running fine, but now with some months of usage I was fighting with low internal memory available, even though I have only a few apps installed.
I used Storage Analyser app to check where the pain point was an found out a big number of folders with the naming mmdsp-SIA_... in the data folder.
They contained the following files:
mem_sdram_data.data
mem_sdram_code.data
mem_esram_code.data
mem_tcm.data
metadata.txt
I could not find much information about this, but as the name folder contained a timestamp I imagine this is some kind of Short Dump memory information.
I deleted this folders, made free more or less 400 MB and so far the phone is ok.
Thats what happen when you use ****law cm :laugh::laugh::laugh:
PS: sorry for OT
Same problem here
Hi,
I'm having the same exact problem with my S Advance but i have no custom ROM, though i have routed my phone to uninstall operator apps so that i could make it run lighter.
I have more than a hundred of them and don't know if i can delete them without problems.
Do you still have those kind of directories ?
Have you found what they are for ?
And still no problems deleting them ?
Thanks

Hello, sorry for the late response.
The folders appear again now and then. When I'm low on space I always check the data folder and if they are there I'll delete them.
No harm so far.

[Q] SD Card help. Out of options

Okay, so, I have upgraded to lollipop and I'm suffering the SD Card issue. Problem is, is that I've tried both the terminal commands and the flash files. They both worked but at the same time they didn't. Going into /data/media/0 won't show my files from before this incident UNLESS I go into /data/media/0 0 0 0. Only then will it show all of my files. After I had flashed the fix zip, clicking on SD Card showed nothing inside. Before, It would show files in it but none of mine unless I hit the zeros 4 times like in media. I'm completely out of options at this point and do not know what to do. Can I flash a 4.4.4 ROM and restart to see if I get the same problem? Any and all help is appreciated.
Anyone?? I really need this figured out.
Copy all your data off and then factory reset.

Sorry. I was just in a haste to get this figured out before bed. Factory reset from within the phone settings? Or from recovery?

Yes I do. The only way I was able to get into my files was to continue to click on the 0 folder 4 times until all my files showed up.
Lol. When was the last time you did a clean flash?
Someone joked about this when the 1st dev preview came out. Saying if I keep dirty flashing i can get a row of 0 folders

you can do what i did.. i used the root explorer file explorer and just moved all the folders/files back to where they should be, manually. it took about 25 minutes. you know where your files are, you know where they go, just move them back, one by one if needed.

I clean flash every time I'm flashing a ROM. Even when It's just an update to a ROM I'm using.

That doesn't fix it as I factory reset from recovery every time I install a ROM.

That's what I did. Only I get copies of certain folders. I just left them. Some of my pictures still don't show though. Idk why. For now, I'm leaving this alone as a temporary fix. Hopefully those missing files aren't actually deleted.
Thanks for the help everyone.

Then wipe storage too. Take all your data off and wipe the sdcard completely. Factory reset in stock recovery wipes sdcard. On TWRP, you have to wipe storage too.

I bought this Card
xxx.kingston.com/datasheets/sdca10_us.pdf
I think is not the best but i should feel a boost or not?
So yesterday i did all this here.
I make 2 Partitions:
1. Label "Storage", Fat 32 7GB
2. Label "Data", Ex4, 8GB
Then i try with the CM12 from Shanur and from ivan.
First i run the Start.bat then i took the zip and run over "MakeaNewImg"
Then i flashed this new zip, after that i flashed Gapps, start the Phone but it is so slow, it showed me that i have 8GB but it was only slow.
Tomorow i will get my Sandisk Extreme Pro and i will try it again. But did i something wrong? Need i to flash Kernel maybe or something else?
Sensation is S-Off with 3.33 Firmware H-Boot 1.29 and 4ext Rec Rc3
