Hi i've been using a rooted Galaxy S II for a while now, I had the old jellybean 'Ressurection Remix' rom.
Once I did full-wipe on CWM and installed the new 4.4.2 RR rom, my internal storage dropped from 16GB to 2GB...
I've tried multiple things like wiping dalvik cache to solve this problem but I couldn't come up with a proper conclusion.
I think it's partition related problem, but I'm not entirely sure how to solve this problem.
I have a 16 GB internal storage and a 16 GB external SD-Card
*edit: I also have deleted everything unnecessary on the internal storage, there are no junk apps/files.

Your internal storage probably didn't drop. 1 internal storage is 2GB and if you scroll down there is another internal storage (11,5GB)
First take a look in /data/logs, delete the logs (they can take up a lot of space)
That is your phone internal storage for apps.
There is USB-storage (internal storagle like sd) and SD-storage.
it is stated that S2 have 16GB but in reality, its just 11-13GB as the rest space for system file (duh, similar to pc or thumb drive; 4GB on package, available only 3.8GB something for its system file)
for the internal storage to drop 16GB to 2GB, its not...the 2GB space is specifically for your apps, and judging from your image, you have too many apps/apps with big size...

Check if you have any big backup files on your sd card. I once lost lots of sd mem after romnuke, turned out to be some backup files from the wipe. It was lost dir or maybe mybackups. Check if you have any oversized folders on your internal.

Hi,
My phone shows that the internal storage is full only like 700mb free, I don't know why, it shouldn't be like that I checked in my computer by mounting the usb storage but nothing exceeds a couple of mbs, anyone knows what can I do?
Someone correct if I´m wrong, but internal storage is not the same thing that shows up on your computer when you plug the phone via USB.

Generally correct.
Now basically our phones have 2 separate storage components. Internal Storage and Internal SD. Internal Storage is ~2gb and is used for Apps & Games. Internal SD is ~12-14gb and is what is detected when you mount usb storage. Int. SD is used for storage of say.. pictures and music and what nots.
Next time please do a search. Or wiki it.
Ok so my internal SD is the one that seems to be full, any ideas on how to fix this?

move some apps to sd card
Transfer your porn to your external sdcard. That's what I do.
The thing is, my storage is NOT full, it only shows that is full I checked and I dont have anything on there!!
Post a screenshot or two of your About>SD&Storage and you'll get more informed answers please
This is what I'm talking about, the usb storage appears as full even though I have absolutely nothing in there

Nope, Stock KI3 rom and speedmod's kernel
Do you have a lot of nandroid backups? As they are big and stored in the internal sd card.
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup is where there stored.

Hello everyone. I have Samsung Galaxy SII (Stock ROM - Jelly Bean). Yesterday, when i was trying to download applications i got an error of "insufficient storage". I scrolled down to my Installed Applications section but, there it showed me about 200+ space. I also tried *#9900# and "deleted dumbstate

/logcat" but no gain. I also deleted cache of all applications and move 2 applications to Internal USB Storage but still facing the same issue. Here are the screenshots for your better understanding.
I'm also getting this, not all the time though. Some apps update OK. I'm also on the stock ROM, 4.1.2. I just checked and I have 282 MB free of the 2GB device memory, 5.55GB of the USB storage and about 450MB on the SD card.
For me this started happening about 2 months ago, before that I used to have a 32GB card that I would move most apps to, not sure if that made a difference. That card died and I went back to my old 2GB card. My plan is to put a custom ROM on it, either one of the "slim" ones or CM10 or 11.
So what do you think so? Is it a memory script bug?. I am also in a mood to root but cannot find stock rom for my S2 thats why i am holding my task. My S2 region is COA (Romania - Cosmoto)
I have alot of memory including 200+ mb internal, about 11 GB USB storage & 6 GB of SD Card storage but error persists...

Android blocks installations when free space reaches 10%.
You may change this default - 'sys_storage_threshold_percentage' - to 5% or 2%.
You may also use a modified PIT file to repartition with Odin, but you will have to reinstall everything because all partitions will be reformatted.
Use the following threads:
[mod] How to reduce the threshold for displaying “Low on Space” warnings
[MOD][GUIDE]Partition your internal memory for better App management (Pit Files)
Thanks i will give it a try. Seems complicated.
I just want to be able to use the 4GB internal memory completely or at least exchange the 786 MB internal memory for my external sd card.
Hi, My phone was stolen and my brother gifted me a MOVIC W2. It's supposed to have a 4 GB Internal memory. And while it has that, It also comes with a 700 MB Internal Partition where the applications are forced to be installed and another partition for the phone data (like pics, videos, etc). This is what Link2Sd and SD Maid Show:

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In the first pic, the one that says "Interna 23% libre" (Internal 23% free) is the partition that I'm talking about. The other two "Tarjeta SD" (Sd Card) and "Externo SD" (External SD Card) are the total internal memory and the external sd card respectively.
The total Internal Memory was divided in three: "Interna" for apps (786 MB), "Sistema" (System) 787 MB and the remaining is the usable memory on the "Tarjeta SD" to save user data (1.78 GB).
In the second pic, from top to bottom, it shows:
1. External SD Card with 3.68 GB in total
2. Internal SD Card partition for data such as pics, videos, etc. (1.78 GB)
3. Internal SD Card partition for apps (786 MB)
So, I've tried to create another partition on my external SD to use as Internal, linking it with Link2SD and it recreates the links but doesn't work. I tried to change the Internal SD Path with WSM Tool app and XInternalSD app, doesn't work either, I also tried the Vold.fstab (but this version doesn't have that) and tried to change the storage directive in build.prop but it doesn't have that line for persist.vold...
The phone is rooted. I can't find another rom for W2 with Android 5 or 6, only roms for W1 and W5 (Don't know if I can use those)
I just want to be able to use the 4GB internal memory completely or at least exchange the 786 MB internal memory for my external sd card. I leave some pics below with additional phone info.
Please, Help me if you can.

Hello all, I need some help.
First of all, my phone is set up with adoptable storage. Before any problems, I had around 3.75 GB used out of 5.51 GB in my phone's Internal Storage. I wanted to migrate data from my SD Card to the phone's actual Internal Storage, so I could format and use the SD card on another phone. I tapped "Migrate data," but it was unsuccessful due to there being not enough space. My phone says "Data left at original location" if I recall correctly. But then the Internal Storage gets nearly full at 5.49 GB used, while all the data still persists in the SD card, unchanged. I've tried multiple reboots, clearing cache and davlink twice, and even deleting many other apps in hopes of updating the storage count, but nothing helped at all. What can I do? Thanks in advance.

Use an app called Storage Analyser. It will help you easily identify which file taking how much size. It is very powerful tool and Plots out the storage structure of your devices internal External and System partitions.
Hit Thanks if helped

Thanks, but it did not help, sadly. I think what happened is that some data from the SD Card was copied over to the Internal Storage when I did the migration, but when it failed, it simply left the copy on the Internal Storage rather than deleting it.
This is the way I did it and it works fine,so I should work for you too..
1. First of all you need to go to the Play Store and download the app called Root Essentials,once you have installed it,we can go to the next step..
2. Open Root Essentials and press on Storage tab and then on Adoptable Storage. press Adopt when you are ready to format your card,but it will ask you to download a zip file you have to flash on your phone so you can adopt your sd card,press on the link to there webpage,they will ask you to download and flash a file call ASPlugin.zip.
3. Once downloaded restart your phone in TWRP Recovery and flash the file you just download,wait until it's done and restart your phone and go back to Root Essentials and do what you did in step 2 and press Adopt button wait for it to format the SD card and then you can migrate your data by pressing on the Migrate Data button and wait for to to move your files to your sd card and its done.Now goto Settings>Device Maintenance>Storage and press the 3 dots on the top right and press Storage Settings and you should see it added the sd cards to the total GBs of storage you have on the phone and it's done.
If you see you are running out of space at all just migrate your data again to free up space on Device Memory.
I have now 18.5GB Used out of 30.4 GB total space. Device Memory 10.4 GB used of 16 GB and SD Card 8.1 GB used of 14.4 GB.
See picture..

I hope this helps someone..
It worked, Just made an account to thank you
Android 7.1.1 (SpaceOS) without AS, installed Root Essentials, but apps never format SD and can't even download ASPlugin.zip.
Can you install your apps directly to sd card now, and what about whatsapp folder, is it placed in internal memory or sd card
And if placed in sd card is the whatsapp running without any problem and not creating folders on internal memory
Update - It worked, done all steps now only internal memory is showing, I tried taken 3gb files from shareit, they are received without any problems
My device was of 8gb storage but bcoz of this I have total 32gb of internal storage
Lets hope I do not encounter any problems in future
Using J5 2015 8gb. Done all the steps but there is a problem coming
When installing new apps no app is installing. See the below screenshot
On installing any problem this problem. Any solution?

Well maybe you should have used the adoptable storage enabler zip for the j5 2015 instead of one not for our device. This thread is not for ours, its for a different j5.
