My question is related to the speed of your phone if you have partitioned out all of the available space in SafeStrap. My stock rom takes up about 3gb, and my two other rom slots take up the remainder. Is this a problem for the phone's performance or is it fine? I just wanted to make sure. If it is a problem with performance, should I go into the Stock rom and delete all of the apps there? What else could I do to lower the Stock rom's space? Thank you!

It will not affect your Phone performance . Just move your apps to SD ( external card ) to get more space. I am running stock + 3 ROM ...

What the hell are they? lol. I've been googling but nothing I've found really answers my question I'm coming from a Nexus S and it doesn't have such a thing. Is this because of the SD card? I'd appreciate any feedback. I'm looking forward to having this baby in my hands
Also, I've been told to stay away from the ICS update because it was buggy. Was this fixed in a later update? I'd like to think I'll wait for the JB update to see how it performs before trying any roms.
for me who has never used any rom slots would also like to know (i've only installed one rom on stock and that was bmm with epsilon) so does rom slots take the unused webtop partition? how come then people get less internal space when they use safestrap?

Seriously: a slot is any part of any memory where you install the ROM. "Stock" slot is the original partition.
But you can create virtual slots in the internal storage (8GB fat32 partition) as .img files, so you can flash there. This is the method used by Safestrap Recovery for flashing ROMs (I think it can flash to stock slot, but not sure since I don't use it)
BMM can create virtual slots too, but it also can "redistribute" 8GB of ROM memory for having enough space to create one slot. And this is better because virtual slots can be less stable and they're not too good for having a good performance.
Edit: About the ICS update: forget it. It's much better than Gingerbread and with no bugs at all. Just take care of some carrier modifications But I'm using JB right now and it's awesome, smooth and fast.
the nice thing about slots, like in Safestrap, is that you can flash your stock ROM onto your "stock" slot, then install different ROMS for each slot
i.e. have a stable ROM be your daily ROM in slot 1
then experiment with slot 2 with another rom, and if you don't like that, then just go back into safestrap and activate your first slot with your daily rom and use that
plus if you somehow mess up that rom, can always go back to you stock ROM on your STOCK slot
Thank you guys for the feedback. Really appreciate it.
From what I understand, they really come in handy especially for chronic flashers
I HAVE NO STORAGE LEFT PLEASE HELP Hyperdrive Safestrap
So I know . Im almost Postivite I did everything correct here but ill give the run down
Im on MK2
and Ive factory reset and unrooted multiple times to see what I did wrong
First I root my device
Then I install Safestrap I download the file to my SD card I believe and then just Install
Go to Recovery and change from stock and go to Creat in ROM 1
Move the MB to 3gb
Next I download my ROM to my sd card and Flash That
Then because I have to I download Kernel to SD card and FLASH that
Then REBOOT and is that all ?
I must be doing something wrong though because I have attached screenshots of everything that im seeing and SOMETHING IS WRONG
Give me a step by step or pm me or anything you have to and I will change whatever I must

Yea something isn't right. If I were you I would try to put a file that's bigger than what it's showing you have and see if it accepts it or not.
You need to flash the information while you're in the hyperdrive slot.
Assuming Safestrap 3.71:
When you create a ROM slot using Safestrap, it allocates a chunk of space from the internal memory on your phone.
It doesn't matter if you have 16 GB free on the stock ROM - when Safestrap allocates a rom slot, it's a fixed size and that's what you get.
(3 GB, if I remember correctly). If you install a big custom ROM, then start restoring a bunch of applications from the play store, you may run out of space in the slot. That's the way it works: you can't use the free space on the stock ROM to augment that - it's as big as it is when created.
My girlfriend uses Galaxy S2. She can't install any apps anymore because her memory was full. It seems that the 16gb is devided up in 2 parts of which 2gb is used for the system. the other 14gb are practically empty but the system part of the memory is full. Will installing a new rom and or kernel help this? And what ROM/kernel would you recommend.

Hi,
Installing a new rom should free up the space for apps since you will require a factory reset.
For recommendations, try Slimsaber 4.4.4 by Fusionjack with Apolo kernel (DorimanX may be a little too complex especially for new user). If you don't like it, CM12.1 (Lollipop) or NeatROM (Stock 4.1.2 based ROM) are also nice options too.
Alternatively, if you don't want to go through changing roms, you may find re-partitioning a better option using this guide:

How about the Gustavo kernel which is recommended here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ivatives/mod-increase-partition-size-t3011162
just re-partition your memory..after u can use trim and make it faster
Do you guys think that the Low Internal Storage, Partition Size and Storage is a problem for Moto E? I feel it is, when flashing ROMs and when it starts to get laggy due to the new ROMs.
What about you guys?

Yes Condor have 4gb internal storage, but 2gb usable, after flashing custom ROM we have 1.8 to 1.6gb free space (depending upon your ROM size, i.e stock rom is 500mb, gives 1.7gb free internal storage, but custom ROM is 200mb gives 1.8gb free internal storage)
Then installing WhatsApp, telegram, hike, + WhatsApp images, videos, etc
Finally we get storage full notification in status bar:silly:
Using SD as internal gives lags and poor battery backup

Custom ROMs with Gapps, the new ones takes 500mb+ of data. Installing 5 to 6 apps easily takes up storage.
How would you go about maximizing your space for apps? Any recommendations for a ROM, or how to go about shrinking one? I would love to be on 7.x, but if I could get a nice tiny optimized ROM I'd have to go with that.
A lot of my issues with my phone stem from lack of space.
The custom roms are not smooth at all. Going back to stock is quite a long procedure. I'm just waiting for someone to release a completely naked Aosp rom like most devices have.
Hi there,
I'm sticking with the oos rom...works ok no issues and no big needs for ultra customization.
but.
16Gb are not nough and since I dont' want to sacrifice apps, I'm looking for the rom that need less space on the internal memory...to free some space once installed...
are all the rom made equal?
Tnx guys!

It doesn't really make a difference. Get a micro SD card and use it to expand your storage.
I know I can use an SD and I do use an SD but actually on the internal memory there are 7gb of apps 3,26gb of other and less than 1gb of images, video audio and cache data.
the apps installed are not apps that I can move on the sd.

Well, what you bought is what you got.
Opx has only 16Gb int. memory which only left available less than 12Gb.
Doesn't matter if you flash N custom ROMs, it only has slightly different size (without inbuilt Gapps package). If you're so curious then go for stock AOSP/Pure Nexus ROMs which only has stock/less features.
Weird to me, what kind of apps/games installed on yours so your lack of memory? (seemed so).
I've 70 apps installed with only 1 game, and i still have plenty of memory left.
*If you're on rooted device then just delete any unwanted system apps/services using ES file explorer or kinda. Although that only free small amount of sizes in system memory.
So the trick is: Do not install way too many apps/games that eats memory a lot.

Get one of the nougat ROMs(I highly recommend Paranoid Android), format your SD card as internal storage and you won't have to worry about filling your internal storage up.

Hi Pune, did you try this approach? have you hever noticed any problem( slow down glitch anything) using apps from sd?
I'm really happy with my onyx, the only downside is the free memory....

You can root your OOS > remove all the bloat ( saves approx. 400MB) unroot ( if your not into having your device rooted) and perhaps move those image/video files to exSD.
Flashing a custom rom will probably save you 500 MB including gapps.
The smallest ROM right now would be AOSP-CAF
If you ask smallest rom in size it would be Slimrom, but it doesn't matter, since rom along with all system apps installed on system partition, system partition taking space from internal storage, IINM onyx has fixed 2 gb system partition built in...
Your only option is root your device, bought a micro sdcard and use apps called app2sd, link2sd or foldermount or some apps similar like that.

No I've not had any noticeable performance slow downs when using the SD card. However, do find a reliable ROM that does not have bugs when doing so. For that I'd recommend PureNexus despite the fact that it hasn't been updated for a while. It has been the stablest ROM I've seen so far with Onyx.
The size of the ROM doesn't matter. The device has a separate partition for it anyway. You could have a 600mb ROM and it would be no more intrusive than a ROM that's 300mb.
Another thing, using a ROM with more features does not mean you will suffer from a performance deficit. Enabling some of these features could however have an impact on battery life.
If the features themselves do have a performance impact then I think the ROM team needs to question why they implemented it in the first place.
At the end of the day, they all use the same partition so there's no use in worrying about it

Use Modded OOS, in that way you have both the original OOS with all the extra things removed by default and you would've 6-7 GB free space available on your internal memory. I am also using it. Give it a try
you should move to a custom ROM. They are very good and will save you many GBs of storage and RAM
