I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace, and a week or so ago I was trying to free up internal memory. I often have a low memory warning, due to the phone only something like 180mb internal memory. While looking to see what I could delete or move tto fix this, 30mb was suddenly freed without me doing anything.
I know it wasn't just the reading updating, as I was on low memory for weeks on end. Since, I have re-flashed a ROM (carbon Sunday by jusada if it helps) and I'm back on low memory.
I was wondering whether anyone knows why this would happen, and how I can get it to do it again.
All help appreciated

Maybe u cleared the cache?!
Anyway off topic, read about sd-ext partitions for more internal space
I think this will help you. if it does please THANK me.

Can't answer your question, but a little tip for people suffering for low user space; download Link2Sd from Market. Google for tutorials.
I'm rooted so I can move apps to the sd, its just some (widgets) dont work on the sd, Ill have a look at partitioning thanks, I dont think it was the cache, thanks anyway though

apps2sd ? right ?!
..mmmh..probably wrong to say here, but..the apps moved to the external sd card are expecting to be slower then before, when were on the internal one?
app2sd or use sd-ext partitions is your way to fix lower internal memory problem
Isn't app2sd built into GB? Am I missing something? Im using CyanogenMod 7

Apps2sd is the process of moving app files and not data to SD card after boot. This still keeps around 1-5 MB on the phone memory and can be done without root on 2.2+
A2SD involves partitioning ur memory card and using it as phone memory. This is mounted before boot so it's faster. Even the dalvik cache can be moved here
I have a 160 MB phone memory and after partitioning and installing 230 apps, I still have 120 MB free
THANK me if this was helpful

You Can Surely Have the Maximum Internal Space by Installing Darktremore App2sd script and moving Dalvic Cache to sd-ext using Apps2sdGui.
Although your internal Memory will still be used but very little bit, and only for house keeping as Some Apps Require Some of Their Files to be copied on Internal Phone Memory.

I took this advice from ArmorD and have more memory available now. Would apps2sd give me more free space than link2sd?

i think the reasion is that the jb os needs more system space.
so the update reserves more storage for the system, so you have less storage for other things.
Ok is there any method to expand my one S storage???

Ok those with 32Gb version device! How much actual internal storage do you get? I am only having 26Gb :crying: and i heard most of the devices have 28Gb so where did my 2Gb go? Any idea? Is there any way to get it back or am i F****ed with a device with 2Gb less the all other 32Gb version phones?
Hi,
No issue with your phone, 26 Gb available, same thing for every 32 Gb version (as far as I know)...
Where did you see 28 Gb available for most???
And seriously use the search function...

Donno forums stated that sometimes rooting and changing the device stock OS can get you more storage space.
But i feel skeptical. So 26Gb is good? No matter how you root or change your device ROM?(does any kernel support re-sized partitions-will resizing partitions gain extra space)
(will post the link of the fourm within a few mins)
I own a Lenovo S920. It has 4 GB of total internal memory. 2 GB as phone memory and 2 GB as the built in memory. But for some reason the internal phone memory is more occupied than it should be. I have attached the picture. What happened to the marked space?

so your saying that it used to have 4gigs of internal memory? or it says that it has 4 gigs of internal memory? my bad if im not asking the right question.
I was victim of same problem but not now here I how you what to do
First root your device then download titanium backup. Launch it and select app you use most and swipe to special features and select on convert to system app now your apps will be stored in system rom
Do It with multiple apps
And at last click on thanks of it helped
Pm me if you want to know in detail

It's just that I don't know what's occupying most of the 2 GB memory. It's definitely not the apps.

But what is it that's actually occupying the space? Is there no way to do it without rooting? I had some problems with my last phone after rooting it. It was an HTC explorer.
And I used an app to view the actual internal memory. It says the total internal phone memory is 1008 mb. Where's the rest of the 1 GB??

i think this is the best way to answer your question, There has to be a place for the operating system to go, some phones have two internal storages which one is X amount of gigs to store the Operating system and System apps, while the other is free user space, so pretty much if yours comes with 4gigs of internal storage, its dummed down to around 3gb - 3.4gb and around 1-2gb of the operating system (this includes system apps and bloatware) thats what is taking up your space, thats why most people flash roms because you get tons more storage since nobody wants the bloatware.

But isn't that a little too much space for operating system?
So what am I supposed to do now? Root it and remove bloatware? Don't want to install a new ROM. I like the stock ROM.

It'd just the way OEMs operating system is, removing the bloat might not give you much space but its worth a shot. Custom Roms should give you a little more space. They should take up around 500mb if I recall correctly. I could be wrong but they are ment to give you more space.

Better Performance And Efficiency
Custom ROMs are oftentimes faster, more efficient, and use less memory because
the developer ripped out useless garbage, such as carrier installed apps or
the developer optimized the kernel. For example, an undervolted kernel can provide a much better battery life than the stock one.

but if you doesn't want to root etc. so disabling apps you are not using and clearing cache every week should work

Im ok with rooting how does it save space tho

Epsilon Project is a custom ROM partly based on stock firmware. It is the smallest stock (essentially) ROM you can install. 278mb zip verses 456mb for the original Motorola firmware. I made some debloat scripts for stock that will increase the free space of your current ROM. There are also some debloated stock ROMs here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688
Custom ROMs probably offer the most efficient use of Moto G's internal storage; for example Dirty Unicorns v8.0 is a 192mb zip. However at this stage in development you may find stock ROMs more stable / have better battery-life. You also may not be able to use some Motorola apps if that is something you care about.
I should also add because of the partitioning used on Moto G; you will only ever have 5.5gb for Photos / Music etc. It should be possible to resize the 'userdata' partition - but no-one has done so as far as I am aware.
You should not use ART if you want maximize the 8GB, ART takes much more space than Dalvik
Custom roms
Custom roms is the most efficient way to save space!
But after flashing rom, Use micro gapps which has only essential stuff you need!
If you need any other gapp, You can always download from PLAY store
