Hi
This phone has 1GB of internal memory from which about 330MB is traceable, but it's used for the operating system applications, settings, drivers and core.
For storage proper you use SD card.up to 32GB.

Depending on which ROM you have installed, it takes up around half of the 1G internal storage. Then there are other partitions on the internal storage (OneNAND-Flex nand flash) that also take up space, like kernels and bootloaders.
I use app2sd and have a 16G sdcard. No problems here.
Hope that helps.

What do you use for you app2sd? Is there a script that can just move everything to my ext4 partitioned sdcard? Btw I'm used to HTC phones, so far they have been the easiest at rooting, n such.

Hi everyone! My SGS 4G doesn't see his internal memory, like it is not there. This issue happened after flashing the device. The Baseband version was KG4 now I downgraded to KC1 trying to fix the problem. Any ideas why the phone can't recoghise his internal memory?
It seems that it's nice for some emgencny pc- like usage. May be this idea iso not good and I have no contribution. Please feel free to move the thread if it is needed

I'm certainly no expert so u'll have to wait for a better opinion. Its been done in fact if you read the first few post of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191141 I believe lilstevie began the project off an sd card. The problem is its much slower and ull still have to use the usual ubuntu/ android dual boot bootloader meaning you lose your recovery.
Greetings XDA members ;
Few days ago, I was trying to format my sandisk microSD XC with a casual card reader through windows using exfat as the file system with unchecked Fast Format check box, so the process took over 5 minutes & i was in a hurry, i cancelled the process to get surprised that the memory can't be formatted either by my phone ( Note 2) or windows & when i try to format it shows a message " read only, check card... blablabla"
Showing that the file system is RAW
Anyone could give me any solution or + feedback please?
Thanks in advance.

I am losing faith that this great community could help me :-\
I just want to add that even my sd is a RAW filed system but i found an app which can pull old files from RAW like recovery apps, so i guess it is not totally hopeless sd
TY
Your best bet would be to use a real formatting tool like gpart.
You can download it as a live CD or install within a Linux OS

I use the Complete Linux Installer app to install Ubuntu on Android 4.4 (Nexus 5). The problem is that I can barely do anything with Ubuntu since the file system is completely contained within the .img file and thus (per default) limited to 4 GB. According to Zachary Powell (developer of Complete Linux Installer), an option is to create an ext4 partition and install Ubuntu there. I found many instructions on how to do that on an *external* sd card. However, the Nexus 5 does not have an external sd card. I am thus wondering how one could create an ext4 partition? (The phone is rooted. Ideally, the procedure does not require to be an Android hacker for too long...)
There might be a way to do that.. Not sure. But I can tell you that's a very dangerous thing to do. That's how people end up with bricked phones. I guess ODIN used to repartition the phone but I'm not sure if it exists for the n5. I'd say beware and be careful....

Okay, thanks, that's good to know. I was also wondering about how 'dangerous' this is and it seems like 'very dangerous', so that's not an option (at the moment). I hope at one point they realize what potential a smartphone could have if they'd make it more like a real computer... (with Ubuntu's 'convergence' concept, my hope was that this happens 'sooner' than 'later', but apparently it's not the right time yet, at least not for medium-skilled hackers).
does anyone know how to do this then install overdose or gingerclone v2? sorry for posting here didn't have 10 posts yet
No, I believe you can use superoneclick to root without SD but you will need an SD card to flash a new ROM.
Unless you (or find someone to) make a hiemdall one click flash of a ROM, to the best of knowledge there isn't one like this made
But if you borrow an SD from someone rooting is quick

See post 27 in the link above for a manual method that works with both windows or Linux or use superoneclick to automate the process
Best of luck!

OFF TOPIC BUT i INSTALLED THE BLAZE 4G, WAS THAT A BAD IDEA?
nope, your fine
also i looked and i think the most updated version of version 5 can be found in post 17 HERE
I know some people had issues a bit with it but the download link is working if you want to give it a shot.
Id have to dig through my files and check but i may have some more updated versions that ricandroid and i were working on... but the project kinda just stopped
ill look for ad_vitamin then too (which is almost identical to go_v5 but better in my opinion) as soon as i can
wont be near my files until tomorrow at the earliest
for now try out a few roms, make backups of the ones you like and as always
happy flashing!
As promised
neXus_GB.zip
neXus_CM.zip
ad_vitam.zip
happy flashing!

thank you! i love go_v5! its so awesome lol I had the modem working once but now the modem doesn't install on go_v5 and for ad_vitam. I choose wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, install the zip, then wipe dalvik cache and reboot. Am I doing something wrong?
Well these ROMs include a modem that should work fine, if you are having issues there is a thread with all the modems for this device and it is possible that another may work better for you
Glad you like the ROM!

nope none of the modems work am I doing something wrong? Could you tell me the steps you did to make go_v5 and ad_vitam work? I get E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] when I choose to wipe dalvik. At the end of the installtion for aroma for go_v5 I get set_perm_recursive()expects 4+ args, got -109755640 I don't know if that is an error or not
Nothing special
Wipe all partitions
Flash ROM
Reboot
That's it
I don't think it could matter if you have no ext partition on SD card, but feel free to make one if you think it will help

weird when you said that ad_vitam worked lol. What do you recommend using to back up the roms? and how do you update the su binary? it keeps popping up saying its outdated. Thanks for everything you've done
Just the normal nandroid backup method through cwm recovery
I tend to keep a copy of two or three favorites on SD card and any others I may want on pc

I tried the nandroid back up through cwm and it just vibrates and stays at the tmobile sidekick 4g welcome screen lol. what about the superuser su binary? how do i fix that error and is there a way to see emoji on this phone?
In truth its been well over a year since I used the sidekick, as far as I recall nandroid worked just fine
You can update the su binary easily through an app, its out dated on all ROMs on this phone I'm sure
Emojis? I guess use another SMS app that supports it?

thanks, what app updates the su binary? sorry been a iPhone user for too long lol
If I remember right when you get that message a link will show to download an app from the market, run the app once or twice and all should work well
If not than just search for something like su binary fix updater or whatever in the play store and you'll find it
But in truth I think most root apps and adb should work even without doing so
Oh, and glad to here you left the dark side, even if it is for a phone that hasn't been updated in too long, the sidekick has much potential but lacks the devs
Best of luck!

thanks! I tried doing the backup through the recovery but when I restore it hangs at the tmobile sidekick 4g boot screen. And which rom takes up the least amount of space? I get low storage on the phone :/ theres no way to assign the app to install on sd card?
Not sure why it hangs, may have been a bad backup or you forgot to wipe before restore?
Not sure which ROM is the smallest but yes you can store apps on SD, best to create an ext partition and put them there over fat32 partition.
There are apps in the play store and many as well on xda, just search around an youll find some as well as instructions
