Hi there.
I've recently installed a custom rom (venom Rom). And after the install I've noticed my internal memory available space got low. I dont know if this is normal. Maybe my old stock Rom is still on my internal? I've only wiped cache and factory resettled my phone before the installation of the custom firmware.
My media files are minimal and the "other" type eating up my memory has 8gig.
What can I do to regain my full internal memory.
Thank you xda dev.
What ROM did you come from? Were you stock?

Reason I ask is if 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. Android adds another directory so a lot of your data is duplicated. There are LOTS of threads discussing this issue so you will likely find your answer easily.

Use the link he gave you. Basically delete most of the contents that are in the data/media folder for apps and games and stuff like that.

Hi guys
My friend recently asked me to install android on his device and its working fine however whenever he reboots or switches os the files disappear. Anyone know a fix for this?
Any help appreciated
On a different note I still don't understand how I can access my webos files from android even though it was listed as a feature of this build. A simple file manager doesn't seem to work

The "sdcard" is the place to share files between the two... I don't know the fix for the files being deleted though..

thanks. maybe i've never seen the files because they kept gettng deleted! thanks though!!
Knocked this together for the S3, and someone asked me to do a version for the N7100 so here it is
Rather than having two threads I'll just link over to the other one where all the files and details are. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943987
Edit - seems to be an issue with it on the N2, I'm looking into it. -- I've uploaded a new version, if someone can try it I'd be gratefull
Just try it on omega 4.0, but its not work, anyway thanks.

Yeah looks like there is n issue with it on the Note2. I'll look into it, but not having a test device makes it difficult. I'll search in the smali and see what's launching the icon.
Thanks so much .

Just a note, all should be sorted now, had a typo in my mount script so didn't mount the System volume.
Have a go if you like.
I can confirm it works. Really great mod
Sorry, but it still doesn´t work on N2 with Stock-Rom J3

Running WanamLite 1,5 and the Redpill kernel. Motomoto00 theme.
Ok I was trying to root my 3.6 US version, when i accidentally flashed the rom for the 4.2. I fixed it, and flashed the regular 3.6 US rooted rom from attn1. After that, when i turned it on, the screen would not work!!!! I have tried flashing diff. kernels but the stock kernel isn't able to flash, either that or I'm doing it wrong. Can someone give me the kernel if you have it, and instructions on how to flash it? I NEED my mp3 to work again D:

Did you ever find a solution? I'm in need of one right now D:
Here's the stock kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39508685
The instructions on how to flash are in the thread. If have anymore questions just ask.
I've already tried that with no luck.

Ok, so your kernel just fails to flash? Or after flashing it the touch screen just still doesnt work?
It will flash. But the screen won't work
I cant promise that this is a solution, but have a look at this thread.
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080006
This could at least maybe help us figure out what is going on. Since the SGP 3.6 doesnt have many(if any at all) custom roms, it could be a difficult fix.
How would that work with GP3.6??
Ok, I devised a plan that might work! If not, well it was worth the try.
I applied the steps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068819
1. Flash your SGP 3.6 stock ROM
2. Flash just the stock kernel only
3. Flash the wrong ROM again
4. Now, flash the stock ROM again
5. Reboot your device. If it doesnt boot just let it go for about five minutes without shutting it off or anything. Then hold in the power button until it shuts off, and flash the stock ROM again.
6. Reboot, and if it boots the touch screen should work.
thanks so much. <3

This is precisely why you are not allowed to post there right away.... If you read the thread and instructions it says that Steve will clearly state if one is needed. If you go through the final pages you can see he clearly states it should not be needed.

well i have noticed that, other threads with custom roms post the update details on the main page. Just havnt seen it with this one, and I would rather not have to format the whole sd card just to update a few things.

You should never have to format the SD card to install or update a ROM. All custom recoveries I know of are capable of wiping the entire /data partition except /data/media (this is where your HOX+ "SD card" is located) when the Factory Reset/Wipe Data option is selected. So I wouldn't worry about that in the future.
