I have the redmi note 11 pro 5g, snapdragon 695 5g
I did some research, and nothing really works like link2sd always gets errors.
doing the google files trick to format as internal keeps crashing the files app even on stock and xiaomi.eu with clean install.
My storage is 64gb, and never thought i would need more, but recently the Diablo game released, and it got me hooked, but so far it's taking over 12gb of internal storage
and it still needs to download a few more resource patches.
So right now i have about 13gb free space, i have xiaomi.eu with magisk installed.
Diablo eternal is extremely pay to play mate. Wouldn't go down that rabbit hole and take it as a sign to uninstall

This doesn't have anything to do with your question, but what benefit does flashing miui eu have over stock. I haven't seen a single ad in any of the xiaomi apps and the phone has almost every option I could want.

I only just learned today how you can move apps to the sd card. I stored almost all my programs on my tilt2 on the card, but I did not realize you could do that with this phone.
I don't, I use S2EXT and create a ext3 partition on the sd giving me moar storage space for apps. I ran into a lot of issues moving things to sd causing apps to act goofy.
I don't move any apps to my sd, and you really don't need to unless your going to have a hundred or so apps..
Zero. I'm a recovering apps2sd user.
I got tired of having to swap skins temporarily on the sense-based gb ROM I'm running, to get the icons for apps I've put in folders to show correctly.
Not to mention, they run faster.
SD cards are best for all that big stuff, like music, pics, vids, roms, etc.
The way I see it, If you have that many apps that would require spilling over to the SD card, some house cleaning is in order.
I don't install apps to SD card either. According to Titanium, I've got 90 apps installed. I've still got over 600 MB free of internal storage (using CM7). All of my big stuff is on SD card such as music and videos.

You and id10terrordfw are nuts.
Next question is how many of those do you actually USE?
And you've succeeded in making me curious as to how many I have...
Edit:
48, with 906mb free. Sure seems like a lot.
That's probably because user apps doesn't necessarily mean ONLY apps intentionally downloaded to the phone that are not present in the base ROM or something, I guess.
Unless you are running out of memory which is virtually impossible for most its not necessary.

You got me curious so I scanned through my user app list. I actually use almost all of them, albeit some not as frequently as others. I guess I'm just an app junkie as a holdover from my iPhone days. Switching from iPhone to Android a couple of months ago was quite the expensive proposition app-wise. I've probably spent over $100 in the google and amazon markets combined. I'm one of those "gotta have the pay version" type of people, to support the devs and I hate ads in my apps.

Luckily I had only bought a couple of apps for my blackberry. That os, at that time, just seemed too clunky... I knew there had to be, or at least would be in the future, something better... Enter Android.
Buying paid versions of the apps is just the right thing to do. Though I only consider buying a paid-version app that I've been able to at least test drive first by way of a free/ad supported version beforehand.
(Oh, and did I mention, donating to devs here on XDA is the right thing to do, as well. )
none here as well, i still have plenty of free space on the internal memory while my SD card is almost full, i've been actively deleted things i don't need off the card, so i'd imagine it would be THAT much more full.
None.
All my 70+ apps are on the internal memory, and none on SD.
Come on this is 2014, i need at least 24gb for App storage. Looks like ill be forced to buy the note 4

Agreed. I'd much rather import a 32GB Z3 from the UK. Now when I get my TMobile Z3, I'll have to wait for their carrier bs.

Just stick an SD card in and use that for the compatible ones. Most big apps like games and things will happily sit on SD and download their additional data to it. If you get a nice speedy class (6 or above) you'll have no problem.

None of my games sit on the SD card. Baldur's Gate, Bard's Tale together take up over 4 GB of storage space. Not sure I've ever installed a game and it installed to the SDCard.
According to the following document,
http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/...ria_Z3_D6603_D6633_D6643_D6653_D6616_WP_1.pdf
only the D6616 variant will have 32 GB of internal storage. AFAIK the UK will receive the D6603.

No they dont. Its a real problem. Sony dont do one phone that has more than 16GB in Europe. Although the old short lived xperia T did.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
I own Xperia TX and still use it.... Never has Sony done more than 16GB except for some special case imports.... the phone will be out of date by the time you can get your hands on one... worse than that is Android not allowing you to switch anything you like onto SDCard.. Its bad enough that they reserve X GB for system and not allow non critical apps to be completely stored on SDCard.

Oooooor buy the 32GB version. It's not a question of can, I spend 8 hours a day developing. I don't want to spend my free time messing around with the inner workings of my phone.
It's worthwhile rooting and using this mod anyway, even with the 32GB version
Not if you don't have the free time!

Theres loads of apps you cant use if rooted, especially banking apps. You shouldnt have to root and mess about with stuff to get extra app install storage.

Sigh. If you don't want to root then don't. There's loads of apps you can't use if unrooted and I for one wouldn't dream of using a banking app on an insecure, unencrypted mobile device that is prone to be lost or stolen.
I was pointing the way to a mod that helps to save large amounts of space on internal storage. No matter how much internal storage you have, it will always free up some. It's not a replacement for larger internal storage, but a utility that performs a specific and useful function. If you don't want to use it, maybe others reading this thread might want to give it a spin.

Is there a way to root this phone yet? I would love to. I used easy root tools for the Z2 and it made the phone so much more useable. I don't want to flash any roms or anything like that. I simply want access to some of the great root required apps in the playstore.
Thanks
You can gain root access with unlocked bootloader, check development forum.
If you can do it, go ahead and contact me.
Prefer New Orleans local.
Still have over a year on contract, but stupidly contracted for a 16gb s5.
It's full. Can't install any apps, though I still have the 64GB microsd which is basically unusable.

Root will not help install apps on microsd. You need a rom for that. Download EMMC brick bug check from the play store and send a screenshot of it.
If all you are looking for is more space to install apps wouldn't it be easier to take the update to Android 6.01 and use the Adoptable Storage feature? Of course you didn't mention which carrier you are using. I can only speak for Verizon which has rolled out 6.01.

Screenshot attached. I was under the impression that root was required to install apps to the sd card. The phone gives an option for moving apps, but IRL it's less than probably 5% of the space.
16gb on this phone is only 12 after bloatware... UGH
ETA: I do have a custom ROM (NOVA Launcher?) but it doesn't help in that regard.

Nope. All the space freed is on the system partition, which apps cannot be installed to.

Cripes.
Any advice for dealing with Verizon in a case like this?
I've spent hours on the phone with them attempting to switch out this phone early (a year left), but all I hear are excessive costs for "upgrades", even after I said I'd be willing to go back to a 64gb S3.
Do you have your old phone? If not, buy one. They're dirt cheap.
Can you download samsung info from the play store and post screenshots of general and firmware tabs?

After rooting, copy all data from the SD card to prepare to format and partition. Personally, I used Apps2SD PRO: All in one tool. It created the partitions, mounted the second to internal storage and left the balance as SD storage.
Used TB to backup app data, then deleted and restored through market to free up internal memory, then restored the data. Had no issues.
From what I've read, it seems that there is question that Link2SD may be a superior way to create the additional internal storage. Apps2SD worked for me, so I didn't do further research. YMMV.
The workaround for the S7 did not work on my phone with MM. You could list the disks, but setting the force flag and partitioning as private did not work.
Good luck.

As you can see from the 2 pics, my phone shows 92Gb used in settings whereas multiple different file managers show my entire used Storage/ SD to be precisely 68.92Gb.
Where is this ghost data from and how can i find it?
PS this is not an error because the available space is indeed according to 92GB space filled. So only 23gb left.
Any advice is highly appreciated.
I have had very good success with the app SDmaid to clarify those occurences (aside from many other useful features of this app)
Have you tried to backup your important data then format down everything? I know this solution is not the best but perhaps can help you

I haven't yet but that Would be my last resort after Pie release, waiting for stable pie OOS before i format everything and make a fresh start.
Hopefully they will release it in a week or 2. *fingers crossed*

yea, i have the 128 model and when i first got the phone it said 116gb but i think not the OS takes up 20 GB so it leaves me with 106-108 and then i got like 12gb of data so i am already at 94gb, which is still enough but i really hate how big the android system takes up and guess it has to do with the A and B partition also.

So what did you guys do with your completely crippled by software tablet? Since it can only download a few apps I made mine into a $200 recipe book that sits it a kitchen drawer. I wish OnePlus was making a tablet instead of a ****ing tv.

I think OP is referring to the fact that the 16GB model comes with only about 9GB free and no way to install apps or do much of anything with the SD card. If it were possible to load a custom ROM on this tablet it would be an awesome value. As it is you can only use a couple of apps on it before mem is used up. Fact.
