[Q] SD storage

My internal storage shows full at 13GB but I can't see what is taking up all the space. How can I figure out what is taking up all the space? NS4G Rooted running ICS

The simplest way to find out what consumes most storage memory is to connect the phone to your workstation and then run tools such as Treesize which lists all directory sizes. Probably there is some folder with video or image material which consumes the space.

the Disk Usage app from the market works great. i recently found and freed over 3gb of wasted space from the android folder. it was app data from apps that i uninstalled long ago but persisted in that folder.

The NAND memory is 16gb, 1gb is used for /data, 488mb is used for /cache and 528mb is used for /system, the rest is your "SD card"

[Q] Problems with internal sdcard (?) after nandroid backup

Hi guys!
I have a 16GB Moto G version, model XT1033 (dual SIM). I've installed some ROMs to test, and I did a nandroid backup to restore the previous stock system.
However, since I restored, some problems have occurred. The internal sdcard (or internal memory) mount, I can modify without problems in ES File Explorer and from computer. But most apps can't write, some, in addiction, cannot see the internal sdcard (eg. camera ICS).
Some screenshots can ilustrate the problem:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(in english: Insert a SD card before use the camera)
(in english: Insert a SD card before use the camera)
I suppose this problem is some with mountpoints (Moto G mounts sdcard in two modes at the same time, one is legacy). I dont find fstab or another config file to check this.
What could be done to solve this problem?
Thanks! And sorry my bad english

What's using up SDCARD? Ghost files?

Please see these screenshots,

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The used space is about 8.08GB and free space is about 4.48GB. But then in this screenshot the size of whole SDCARD folder is just 6.36GB.
So, what's using the extra 1.4 GB and where is it residing?
Extra notes:
1. Recently I had to factory reset my phone and lost everything on it, and after I added back my files from laptop the space reported was correct. No ghost usage.
2. The thumbnails files in DCIM folder got huge and I deleted them to recover nearly 1.5GB, but I'm not sure if that change actually shows up.
Please help with any insight. Also, does your SDCARD folder and storage usage show such differences?

Internal storage isn't just /sdcard. Its shared with /data so /data/app, /data/data is included.

[Q] Size of the ROM storage

My OPO has 3GB RAM and 64GB Internal storage. What i want to know is what is the size of the ROM storage location where the ROM is installed. Is it part of the internal storage (partition) or a separate storage space ?

Mostly all of the android 4+ devices use the part of internal storage to store the android system and system files,apps etc..
So, From 3GB to about 8GB of your internal memory will be ocuppied by the System...You will get almost 56-60GB of User Storage on a 64GB phone..

You should have anywhere between 54-57 of user memory

this really clean up your Android device

I'll ask the app was not running in background, at least, allow a method to disable it.
It has good features, but alerting each new file being downloaded and so on is really annoying.
