I am currently running CM12.1 on a 16gb version of Verizon GS3. I have less than 500MB (see attached screenshot) after updating from an older version of a JellyBeans ROM. I've gone through the normal steps to remove backup files, ROM files, clear cache, etc, but I still have low internal storage. What is the process wiping the internal memory in order to start with a "clean slate" and then re-install CM12.1? I want to make sure I don't do anything to brick my phone, so please be specific, I have some ROM flashing experience, but I'm not exactly a pro at this, so I need details or a video to help this dummy out. Thanks in advance!

Would I be correct in thinking you have CWM recovery installed? I am not actually familiar with the capabilities of recent CM recoveries, the last I used was for my 5 y/o SGS Captivate.
First have a copy of your nandroid or a fresh zip of the ROM on your external sdcard, have GAPPS here also. If CWM will permit, wipe /system and /data in addition to cache and dalvik cache. I have seen some refer to wiping /system as formating the internal sdcard. (I have seen others state that doing a factory reset with the stock recovery gives the cleanest device, but most needing this were going back to a TouchWiz based ROM after being on LP.)
You then reflash your ROM and GAPPS.
Hi,
My system partition size is 1.9GB and I am unable to update from current 7.1.6. The latest ROMs filesize are much larger and thus, the phone will bricked whenever I tried to update to newer ROMs.
I tried fastboot ROMs and the same problem persisted except 7.1.6 versions and below. Of course, CM13 worked because the ROM size is a lot smaller but the camera quality is horrible. sMIUI and xiaomi.eu ROMs do not work, resulting in bricking (hard brick- I cannot power up). The only way out is to install 7.1.6 Fastboot ROM via MiFlash.
I tried wiping and even formatting my file partitions to clean away rubbish but do not resolve the fundamental problem that the system partition size is only 1.85GB (1.5GB filled).
Any ways to format/resize my system partition?
PS: The phone is rooted and I have the latest SuperSU (2.74) and TWRP (3.0.2) installed.
Fastboot edl should rewrite all the partition data that is needed, expect the one part that has your imei numbers (take backup before you start)
Here's the guide:

Is this normal that system always had about 6gb space used, even after formating? And after flashing asop rom sized 500mb, in system 6,9gb is used
anyone?

I have ArrowOS 12 installed, with 11 the updates went well but now if I try to update i get the messages in the title. I tried to repair the filesystem, changed it from ext4 to ext2 and ext4 back again, wipe basically everything, can't restore anything, really have no idea of what I should do more.
TWRP is on 3.5.2_11.0, I have no personal files on the phone so anything is ok.

All custom recoveries (TWRP, OrangeFox) cannot decrypt Android 12 data in the meantime, so you will not see any internal storage and cannot mount.
If you want your data, you can try ArrowOS 11, restore data into ArrowOS 11, make sure data works in ArrowOS 11 system boot, then flash ArrowOS 12 without format data.
Some said you can do that, but there's chance it will fail, but since your phone has no personal files, you can try.
There is update of TWRP 3.6.0_11.0

Thanks man, does this mean there is no effective way to update the OS on android 12 in any way, no custom roms at least? In that case I'm very confused as to why the update button even is there

Custom recoveries cannot decrypt internal storage, but can read microSD cards and USB OTG. Remember Poco X3 Pro has microSD slot.
You can also use ADB sideload command in custom recoveries to flash zip files, so ROM updates can be installed this way.
Almost all function of custom recoveries are working, except decrypting internal storage.

Hi all...
Just wandering if anyone new how to resize the system partition of a galaxy a53?
Need to make it larger to fit files onto it but not able to delete bloatware or anything for some reason using all the recommended processes. And to be honest having larger system partition would probably just be useful anyway.
My phone is rooted. I'm not fussed about having to refresh ect. And I have TWRP flashed and Stock Rom.
Please help lol
TWRP should automatically resize your system partition.
When you're installing the ROM, make sure you format /data then /system before installing.
It does, but i want to make the partition larger so i can add files to the system partition once the rom is flashed and phone is set up to be used.
At the moment it say 6GB partition and only the rom fits onto the partition and there isnt any room to add extra files. so im looking to make the partition say 10GB to give myself some wiggle room to play with.
i Have 128GB in total so can spare some extra GB's lol
