So I just rooted my Tab 10.1, running CM10 and it's bare bones. I haven't added anything at all. I only have 4.7GB of free space. I'm sure there must be a reason, but I just don't see it. Anyone have any insight?
Thanks
What space exactly? The Tab shares its memory between "SD" and "Internal" memory automatically. So if the tab tells you 4.7GB internal memory free and e.g. 8GB SD-storage free, you have a total of 12.7GB available.

When I rooted my old phone everything got wiped and I opened up a ton of space. It was great. Git rid of all the bloatware.
When I rooted my tablet I ended up with even less space than before. I guess I just don't understand how that works.

I have received a "internal memory full"msg yesterday, with around 40 apps installed.
After moving most apps to SD card, ive still only got 100mb left.
When i check the internal memory status from Appsmonster, ive seen the internal memory size is only 500mb instead of 1gb! How much internal memory hv u got?

I believe the specs says 512mb of ram, and 1gb of ROM. What is the difference I don't know, but I"m sure it runs out of "ram". I don't know if we have access to the "rom". Hope it helps!

um.. I'm talking about Rom, not RAM. Internal memory is Rom. It should have 1GB ROM, but only showing 550mb...
Anyway, I've solved the problem, the logservice of Dell Venue keeps creating log files up to 2mb each each time I force close the apps, and therefore has eaten up all ROM! I've got to root it to clear these useless log files.
Oh, sorry, didn't know the phone had EXTERNAL ram...my bad. You see, my Venue has 512MB INTERNAL RAM and 1GB INTERNAL ROM. Where did you get your Venue from...???
I didn't mean to offend you and thanks for your reply. Anyway i've checked my friend's Venue and it's also showing 550mb, very strange indeed.

Mine is 550mb too.
Anyway, can you show me how and where to clear the useless log.
My fone is rooted but i can find any app to clean and dont know where the folder include these logs.
Thanks

Hi, can you tell me where log files are kept? Since I found out this issue, when Force Close happens, I choose Log to SD Card then I can delete manually. But for ones logged on ROM I don't know where.
My Venue rooted.
I can't seem to access all the internal storage in my Note. I know I have 16gb in total and plenty of free space left. But when I go to setting and look under storage I find two listing of internal storage. I'm not sure why I have two internal storages. This is apart from my external sd card. One of the storage is around 2 gb and the other one is 11gb. Yet under the 11gb it says I only have around 500 MB free even though I almost have nothing on my phone. Whenever I do a backup of my ROM I seem to run out of space. Can't take pictures anymore. So I can't even backup as I keep running out of space.
I thought it might have something to do with the rom so i switched from CM9 to CM10. No change. Now I'm using liquid smooth and it's still the same. Can anyone tell me why I have two internal storages? And why there's so little free space even though I barely have any data?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Please use the search feature... its has been explained quite a few times (by myself at least 3 times)....
Simple explanation:
In order to use the setup as-is (no major user changes), 2GB is set aside for /data and a few GB here and there for other partitions, the rest is for your personal storage... so data/system/cache/recovery/bleh is set aside and you get 11GB~ of usable storage space...
The end
Since everything by default of the FAULTY setup for Android phone devices these days saves to internal memory... your backup's of your phone, pictures, app cache.. app data... it all gets saved to that internal memory storage area... Use something like Solid Explorer and check it out to find out whats eating all your space and possibly clean it up or move some/most of it to your REAL /sdcard...
Thanks. That worked.
I deleted a bunch of stuff that was left over from the previous owner. Not sure why it was still there even though I formatted my memory when installing ROMs. Does this mean that it only formats the 2 GB internal storage? And not the one for my personal usage?
Also I tried searching for some more info on the split internal storage on the forums. Couldn't find anything. Would you please explain or give me a link that explains in detail the function of two internal storages?
Again, thanks for all your help.

The internal storage is not cleared by a standard wipe, IIRC, theres an option in the stock rom to wipe the internal storage but you have to chose it when performing the factory reset option!
OR when using twrp/cwm you have to manually chose to wipe the internal storage/memory...
Otherwise it all stays behind...
I cant find my good post about it... IIRC it was in the n7k forums somewhere... Ive made too many posts to sort through in the interim...
Heres a thread someone else made earlier a month or 2 ago where I posted with basically what I said above, there really isnt that much to expand upon:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909960
I have a question that may or may not be a noob question. I have two tablets, a Transformer tf101, with 16gb storage, and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, with 8GB storage. On both of those, I have noticed that internal storage is such that I have 12 GB space for installing apps on the Transformer, and 5gb for installing apps on the Galaxy Tab 2. vs only having 2GB space for installing apps on my 16GB Galaxy Note. Is it possible to repartition space on the Note so that more is available for installing apps? I have a 64GB external SD card, so pure storage is not a problem.
Thanks for any answers/comments.
Are you sure that you are looking at the note's storage space right? Mine shows as having 10.84GB of general storage which is space for everything from Applications to pictures and audio files. Can you attach a screen shot like mine below so i can get an idea of what you are seeing?
Your looking under storage, look under apps, and it will tell you that you have under internal storage at the bottom of the display, x.xGB used, and xxxMB free. It works out to about 1.92GB total for installing apps.

bonez565 is telling you exactly what you asked. Yes you have 1.92GB for installing apps. But that 10.84GB can also be used for installing apps. If you use apps2sd or the internal application manager you can move most apps to this 10.84GB space.
That actually is NOT what I am asking. Both tablets have been setup so that they show the ENTIRE space available for installing apps. Where the Note shows 1.92 GB available, under Downloaded apps, the tablets both show far more available, without using APP2SD, or the internal manager. Not tricks, other than maybe the ROMs were made such that that the partitions were setup differently, or maybe the space was made more transparent. I will upload screenshots, so you can see what I am talking about.

1st screenshot from my Note. 2nd screenshot from my Transformer, 3rd SS from my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. All running JB 4.1.2
My Tab 2, and my Note are even running AOKP Milestone 1, yet the tablets are given way more space for installs. I am not running APP2SD, or any other storage management. BTW APP2SD does NOT like the tablets like that, and won't allow you to move them to SD. But it seems a way better solution anyway, that's why I want it on my Note.

I have a Samsung I9100G and my App storage is 1.97GB.Something like 1.1GB is consumed by android system which is not showing and the rest is my apps but its not enough for me this phone has 13GB Total space in it and i want it all in one place my apps and my downloads - musics etc. i looked around trying to find how to do that but all i have found was to format SD Card.But thats not what i want my space is showing like this
Device Memory: 1.97GB
USB Storage: 11.00GB
it shows my space as usb storage i wanna change that to device memory so that i don't have any problems
My phone is rooted and i'm using 4.1.2
Don't tell me to open space with link2sd or something like that my apps are already on sd card and my storage is still filled up.
Have you tried the app DiskUsage from the playstore? It gives a great visual of what exactly is taking up your space. Could help you work it exactly what us consuming your space.

Yes im using it and i know whats consuming my space but thats not what i want to know o wanna make that 11GB usb storage my device memory
Well you can look into repartitioning your internal storage through an Odin flash but I STRONGLY recommend that you don't. It's one of the quickest ways to turn you i9100G into a brick.

Hi everyone. Sorry for starting a new post, but I looked and I wasn't sure where my question fit in. I'm using Link2SD on my kids' tablets and overall it works great. I got really fast (SanDisk extreme) micro SD cards for black Friday and the games run faster than with tablet memory. One thing I'm trying to figure out is why, even though I have both tablets set up mostly the same, one of the tablets has a lot less free space showing. I do have about 400-500 MB more of apps on the tablet showing less free space, BUT it is showing 4.0 GB free space vs. 5.8 GB free space on the other tablet. Why would this be (1.8 GB difference) if all else is the same?
Is it something to do with dalvik/cache? Speaking of it, is it safe to wipe the dalvik/cache through TWRP now that I have Link2SD set up with 30+ apps linked? Do I then just relink the dalvik files after rebooting? Or do things get messed up? I'm hesitant to do any of that because I have everything working well now, except the free space issue.
Or, if I multi-select and then choose to relink everything (apk, dex, internal data), could that help? Everything appears to already be linked correctly, so would relinking mess it up? Also, as a side note, I don't have any lib files linked as I have found that in the past it did mess things up for me. It would cause some apps to re-optimize at every boot, I think because the lib files wouldn't relink, even though I enabled it in the Link2SD settings. So now I stay away from that and all else is good, except this free space issue.
Any ideas on a solution? Is there something else taking up free space that's not listed in internal or system memory? Maybe downloaded Google play books? Or are they listed in the app data? Is the free space shown not correct, and it's actually more? I just can't figure it out. Any ideas would be great. Thanks!!!!
Here are the screenshots. You can see 5.76GB vs 4.07GB, but only 6.94GB vs 7.34GB for internal space difference. Why?
