Recently I was flashing PAC rom. To do that In recovery (TWRP) I wiped every thing. All the options in Advance Wipe in recovey except USB OTG. When I checked the available space, it was showing 12 GB available. Without flashing the ROM.
Mi4i is a device with 16 gb storage. So, there must be reserved space for ROM to install.
AOSP rom will never use 4 GB of space, So from that 4 GB reserved space, there might be 2 GB of space still available.
Is it possible to resize the partition table and increase the usable space??
Any help will be useful?
Thank you in advance.......

P1113, JB 4.2.2 Stock Rom, CWM, rooted running and no obvious system problems.
My understanding is that there is supposed to be 4.5 gb or internal storage, or /storage/emulated/0. I have an actual 600mb of items on the internal storage space. I verified this by copying all the files/folders to pc and checking the size. Root Explorer reports same folder size for /data/media.
Settings->Storage indicates that I have 4.5 gb internal storage, 2.5 gb is free and there is 2 gb not accounted for. I should have 4 gb free? I reformatted /sdcard with CWM and still have only about 2.5 gb free and not 4.5.
2.5 gb of usable internal storage seems much to low. Flashing the rom with Odin did not change this problem. On a practical basis, I cannot install a GPS navigation app because it uses >2.5 gb.
What might the problem be? How to fix?
Is your phone storage 4gb or 8gv? As written on the box

The tablet is 8 gb and shows that in the Settings_Storage.
There must be a method or restoring the partitioning to stock, oob, sizes?
The data partition（store user-install apps and app's data） and internal SD partition(store User data like music,video,docs eg.) is ONE partition on Samsung GTab2 Tablets. So the "lost" 2G space which puzzled you are used to store the app and app's data.

Go to the /mnt/shell/emulated to look, you should have the root accounts to get the things or copy it.I hope it is helpful

With you and other's help here, I think I understand. The device is 8gb. 2 GB is for the operating system. Two GB is for apps and data. Then 4 gb remain for internal storage.
I would like to swap 4 gb storage with the 32 gb MicroSD card. I have been doing that prior to 4.2.2 running a script that changed mount points. That no longer works. I don't know how to edit fstab file that might work. In the meantime, I'll try to spend more time using the device instead of modifying it!
I am going to ask very basic question regarding ROM in Android Device.
Searched for Android Devices and found as below (different devices):
1) Memory - 1 GB RAM, 4 GB ROM
2) Memory - 1 GB RAM, 8 GB ROM
3) Memory - 1 GB RAM, 16 GB ROM
because of ROM size, prices are different from one another.
Is it just the normal internal memory which they are labeling as ROM, or does it have a different purpose altogether. Because once phone is up and running the OS is loaded in RAM and not ROM.
If OS is installed in ROM, it may occupy 1 or 2 GB, what is the use of remaining space.
1) user can install app of his/her choice
2) app data storage
3) cache / delvik cache
3) anything else
if someone purchase with Memory - 512 MB RAM, 4 GB ROM, what approx Internal Storage he/she will have to install apps?
I would appreciate your help and response.
Regards.

what device do you have? i would try flashing stock and re-installing miui.
I was surprised by the fact that many of the roms that I tried out yet, only take about 500MB of system storage. But then I noticed that this doesn't do anything for me because of the system partition that is made for the gigantic 1.5 GB stock rom.
Having 1GB of free space that I can't use bothers me a lot. So I thought about repartition the internal storage. Because it would be very nice to have about 800-900MB more of usable disk space on internal storage (sdcard0). I already did a short google research but all of the instructions I found relate to the Galaxy S2. And there you can only choose between fixed partition sizes.
Has anyone already tried to repartition the storage of the Galaxy S2 Plus? Or firstly has an idea for that issue?
As you can see in the screenshots below ~1,3gb of internal storage are missing. ( 0.53 GB free + 2.89 GB apps + 0.06 GB the rest of things = 3.48 GB. Total space 4.74 GB - 3.48 GB = 1.26 GB missing.)
If you look closely there is an anomaly. In list the Miscellaneous file takes only 26.69 mb internal storage but in the graphic look like they are taking much more. I guess there is the missing internal storage.
I am full stock with the latest firmware installed. I have the 4,7 inch model.
I tried to factory reset and wipe cache. At first was ok, but after i remove the bloatware and install my apps same results.
I use cleanmaster,powercleaner but with no result.
I looked up in every folder in internal storage but i did not find anything that can take this space.
What can i do without root? I don't wanna root right now.

i am having the same issue, dont know what to do:S
I'm gonna guess the both of you are running the "8"gb versions? It's possible you may have an actual 16gb nand chip, just partitioned to 8.
If you are, then I would highly advise you repartition the memory and unlock the 16gb. I also think it has been mentioned somewhere that there is some 1.+gb backup file or something or other that appears to be useless. I've seen some users at the russian site 4pda complaining of the same issue.
The bottom line is you're going to have to root to fix the issue. Re-flashing the software via the mobile update app will just lead you to the same situation.
There is a flashable zip in the repartition thread in the dev section, that makes it pretty painless through TWRP. It will check to see what actual size nand chip is present.
correction: i have a 16 GB 5.5"
Hi, I'm french and sorry for spelling.
