Hey!
It not depends from your SD card. It depends from your phone INTERNAL MEMORY. I see that you not using a2sd or similar apps(because all your INSTALLED apps and games going to INTERNAL MEMORY BY DEFAULT). What FIRMWARE you are(FROYO[2.2.1], OR GINGERBREAD[2.3.3 or 2.3.4])?
CHEERS!
Normal 2.2.1 Ace

Use Link2sd. The best app ever to save space and performances.

Hey!
If you use LINK2SD, then you can use MOVE2SD ENABLER. Dose the A2SD not working for you?
CHEERS!
I recently lost my sdcard and I was wondering If I really need one for any reason outside of more storage space? I plan on running the official ics but I lm just not sure if certain roms etc need to be on external memory.

I am currently using link2sd. In my opinion it is better than a2sd as you get to choose which apps are on ext partion and which are not. In a2sd all your apps are on the ext partition therefore you cant use your phone properly without your sd while in link2sd you can still use those apps which you have not linked

Yeah ! Thank you very much!

yes ,me too . .
i think link2sd better than darktremor ,
deleted,
sorry I answer wrong..
With link2sd even if you can virtually install any number of apps depending on the size of the ext partition it is suggested not to make the second partition bigger than 1024mb
okay so i seem to be missing a few gb's on my s4 for what ever reason 16gb total 223mb in apps,68.00kb pictures,156kb audio,8kbdowloads,6.46gb in miscell,and 2.29gb free SO all that together is more or less 9gb total where in hell are my other 8gb guys.. help would be much appreciated.

the 6+gb are the system files..
If you have a nandroid backup or have backed up your apps using titanium, that would account for the space.

The advertised 16gb for the phone isnt quite correcy either. One of the reasons they gave us app 2 sd with me7.

the backups have always been to the sd card and iv checked like 5times to make sure i even wiped and cleaned everything and re installed to see if that fixed it..noting
+1. Completely clean you'll only have about 9 Gb. The rest is used by android.

Sd card or ext sd?
/sdcard is an internal partition.

Mnt/shell/emulated is where I found mine

Using the app "Clean Master" I've noticed that I've lost almost 2GB of internal memory to the gallery thumbnail folder. If I remember correctly there's a way to rename the folder so it won't store the thumbnails. Gonna research it and see what I can come up with to regain that space.

well i only deleted the ones that had to do with the backup in the clockwordmod folder worked out perfectly but i cant speak for the rest id say copy those files you plan to delete onto the external sd card and then delete and reboot if you see any issues just copy paste them back and do another reboot. better safe then sorry
The only problem i have with deleting the backup i have in the mnt/shell/emulator/clockwordmod/backup folder is that it will also delete any nandroid i have.. but i did acquire 3+ gigs after doing so giving me 7.51 gigs of free space. The downside is w/o a nandroid, if something happens to my phone i'm screwed... Hahaha... Well the extra space looked cool while it lasted... Thanks

Use twrp, it's a lot easier to delete unwanted nandroids. No blob folders.

Coming from the note 1 i am not concerned about the size, but what about the internal memory being so small? Really want to buy but can i get some feedback on the memory issue? Also any other opinions appreciated, especially as you guys probably already own the MEGA!!!
Add In some memory with a micro SD???
