[Q] obsidian - where's the free space - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey friends.
I've installed obsidian v2 on my vibrant.
when connecting to the pc (ubuntu) I see that the internal storage is 2.4gb (supposed to be around 14gb.
where is all the free space?
as far as I know - there is no lagfix (I also checked this using the instructions in voodoo site)
thanks!
Edit:
I posted in the obsidian thread to find out if someone else is experiencing it.
I believe that it's some kind of a bug since the DF command gives me 13gb total (supposed to be 14gb if I'm not mistaken) while the file manager gives
2gb and summing up the files gives up 3gb (all though the sum of the files are in fact much more than 3gb)

Are you looking at the phone storage or SD card?

Phone storage of course.
SD card seems fine
btw - formatting it didn't help

Had the same. Flash sd fix from eugene odin rom thread
Yogurt is best served frozen, onyx frozen.

thanks dude!!!
works like a charm!
one more question (unrelated)
I've seen only ONE guy in the obsidian thread reporting a problem that the screen turn to greenish color when in a call. I experience it also and I recall that when i had an htc hero running froyo I had the exact same problem.
perhaps you'll know what to do...
thanks!

i tried puttying my sd card after i installed rom and other apps. and then thats when i recieved mounting errors and internal sd was unmounted for whatever reason. I dont think this rom has support for external sd card. but just based on my expierence
lol this isnt the only on0e its happen to me on
well what do you have your micro sd formated as. i had fat32 but wasnt working in most roms. so i formated it to ext3 and its worked so far...at least in recognizing it.
Beastly mounted it fine.And so did all of gb roms.
also is there maybe just a way to root tapntap i do like it
i think there is. you might have to set up adb and push stuff over. but not to sure on that. you can always use a custom TNT rom. Its still tnt but much snappier and faster
im running 1.2 branch tapntap and it really fast

[Q] Problem with Incoming Texts

Hello, I have looked around the threads for possible solutions and have come up with none. I am currently using Telus Fascinate Galaxy S and currently running the stable CM7 with the Glitch kernel. I'm having troubles recieving text messages; it keeps telling me that there is full memory. The problem is that i have over 12GB of space on my sd card and it says 0.00B of space on the internal storage. I just flashed it and my internet works fine. Every other thread has found the solution in moving apps to the sd card but the difference with me is that I have no apps downloaded yet.. is there a known fix to this?
I had the same problem, did u flash the latest nightly by chance?? #181..
I don't know a fix persay, but if you free up some space in the /datadata, also found in /data/data, partition it will let your msgs come through.
-Maniac
Thanks for the reply, once a flashed the nightly 181 i got my text messages working again, however, any downloads i try to make still send the "free up some space and try again". i cleared all the cache's, moved everything i could to my sd card (which still has plenty of space) and i changed all my settings to install external and unchecked internal storage, if i try download anything from the internet or from the market, nothing works
I have now tried both MIUI and CM7 on my phone, both of them state that there is no internal memory (0.00B). Would there be a problem with the Glitch V13 kernal i'm using or is there a step in the flashing process i missed?
I'm running MIUI/glitch without the above issue. What was your install process?
I got most things working now, what modem are you running though?

[Q] CM7 on NT 16Gb: 'mnt/emmc' is missing

intalled CM7 several weeks ago - in general everything's fine, but I still can't find the answer for this problem
there's mnt/sdcard (for external microSD)
and mnt/media (seems to be a part of internal storage)
but there's no mnt/emmc or mnt/sdcard/sd_external
I can place about 450 Mb at 'mnt/media'; however file manager says that there's 11.1 Gb available of 11.9 Gb total
how can I mount the internal SD?
or should I partition it somehow first?
or is there a way to "resize" mnt/media?
Thanks in advance for any help
Check out the repartition thread in general discussion.
Seems like a lot of stuff, but its quite easy to follow.
Thanks, mate.
Had no success looking for something like this myself. Doesn't this topic worth to get into some FAQ? Is there something like that for each device?

[Q] Change internal memory partition?

I'm running Liquid Smoth 3.1, and noticed the internal memory (for apps and such) is separated from the internal SD. Can we increase the internal memory allocation? I don't recall if this was common or not before I installed the ROM.
Still no solution found...

This is how old Samsung used as a separated partition(2GB/Remaining space) structure.
I could confirm that newer models only have one partition.
I had researched days of searches and still did NOT find confirmed easy solutions like flashing ZIP files.
(My research -> Link)
I REALLY DO wish someone could guide me a solution to repartition as one total 16GB(Like newer Galaxy)
or expending 2GB system partition to any bigger size.
I still did NOT find the solution and still looking.
The only last method I did not try - Working with ADB command which I need to consider to brick my phone.
But this is my primary phone that I use.
Even worse, KitKat ROM(I am using beanStalk ver 4.4.4001) does not allow to use App2SD function.
I have to manage all of my apps+data+decent space within 2 GB limitation even if I have 11GB available
space as an Internal Storage (NOT External SD).
Hope it helps and let you know you are in same boat with me.
Once again, I wish there is an easy solution who could help us!
Any Update??
HI, has anyone found a solution? ty

Samsung J120w Custom Roms?

I have rooted my J120w, now im trying to free up some space on its small 8gb internal memory. it seemes that android 6.0.1 is taking up nearly 5gb of the 8, leaving me little room.
i have tried link2sd but it does not want to mount my sd cart after changing to fsmount (sorry if thats not correct)
I am wondering if there are any custom roms that people know will work with this device, i am having a terrible time trying to find something on this forum, or the internet abroad!
thanks for your help in advance.
I am also keen on obtaining an alternate rom that works on the SM-J120W
Have also searched with no avail. Anyone found anything yet?
Cyanogenmod / Lineage os would be great!
I agree with punkrx the internal storage of this device is not the best and gets filled very quickly. I have had some success with Lucky Patcher which has allowed me to move apps to the SD card that Marshmallow will not allow me to move. Which has helped somewhat.
