So I decided to increase my system partition. Well I used acmeuninstaller and then used acmeinstaller3. I forgot to move my ROM the cminstall. So I reused acmeuninstaller and tried moving my files and it said i didn't have enough space.
Anyone able to help?

Hi, one of devs from my device had told us that he'll move system and data images from scard to SD ext, but actually he left before doing this so now I'm stuck with useless 5gb ext4 partition on my scard. I'd format it and then change partitions if my sdcard wouldn't be filled with over 20GB of various files. Is it possible to change the size of the second partition to about 500 MB and turn it from ext4 to swap without formatting entire sdcard?
Thanks for any help.

I don't care this much about resizing it. Changing to swap would be enough but if resizing is possible then I'm more than happy

I've tried fdisk stuff via terminal emulator but sdcard0 is read only (it's not) and I have no idea what I might be doing wrong

I think gparted is capable of deleting partitions. Then you can resize the unallocated space, and format it to whatever you like.
You should be able to do this without touching your other partition with 20gb of stuff on it, and therfore you shouldnt lose any data.

Hey guys I have about a gig of free space on my internal storage and close to 10 gigs on my SD and my phone keeps telling me to free up space when I try open the gallery. Any ideas?

If you're rooted and dirty-flashed a rom, you can get the same error. I had the same issue awhile back with a particular rom I flashed/upgraded. Hope that helps.

could be not enough room in the system partition due to the way some apps work?
just guessing but the space it needs might not be in the partitions you are looking at?
how can I view the internal storage on my phone? it says I have 9 gigs full but I don't know how to view it in astro

So when I go into storage it said I have 9gb of "other" ?? Anyone have an idea what it can be? I've looked everywhere through my phone to find these mysterious files.

Try file manager in root mode and check for your old files and ROM backups in /data/media folder.

OK just to be sure here. I'm on a 4.2 rom as well and I have a about 9 gigs taken up. I turned es file Explorer on root mode and unhid the hidden files. I looked and there was a data/media folder with about 9 gigs in it. Should I delete this and I will be fine?

That's all your personal data. Don't delete the whole thing but look for the large directories under there.

Well I looked through there and it seems to be almost a copy of my SD card folder. I looked through all the files and there is 5 files with the exact same contents. They are all identical to the SD card folder and they are taking up the same amount of space . the files are SD card, inside the data/media and 0 inside the same folder. Inside the storage folder there is both sdcard0 and legacy. All these have the same contents.
What's up with this?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Your old home folder is /data/media the new one is the 0 folder. You can delete most of the duplicates from media, and can move anything into 0 that you want to keep.

When you upgrade from a 4.1.1 rom to a 4.2.2 rom or 4.3 rom your storage changes from sdcard0 to something else so you will find a lot of duplicates that can be deleted. Just for future reference.

If you check the size of the /data it will probably explain the missing space. Just backup your important info to the pc and do an internal wipe

Similar issue, except /data/media doesn’t appear to be what's using my space. See attached screenshot for details. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I've had this problem, and like torrentd said back up important files to pc and I format internal storage in recovery. Deletes all useless files and replicas.

Thanks, but would you mind giving me some specifics on what directories/file systems to format? The space usage for me doesn't appear to be in /data/media like many others have posted so part of my problem is that I'm not sure where to look.

If you use twrp recovery, just go in wipe, and wipe internal storage.

Okay. Would I be flashing my ROM/kernel combination after that step?
I assume that restoring a backup might introduce problems so probably better to stay away from that??
Thanks

That screenshot is useless, depending on if you are using android 4.1.x or android 4.2.x
4.2.x introduces a new filesystem and starts using a new directory /data/media/0
all of your old data is still in /data/media and your phone is looking at /data/media/0 for sdcard space
it calculates total space by how big /data media is and its contents are under /0 (the 0 is the user that is on the device, /1 would be a second user account, however user accounts are disabled on phones)
