[Q] Where is my space... - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello , i have installed a new rom on my phone. With the old rom i had all the apps installed on the phone memory.
Now with the new rom i have made before to install wiche chace and delete user files , but the problem is that my phone told me that it's used about 8gb from the phone memory , but when i look with propertis on all the files , it's maximum 1.5gb used from the memory.
Where is the different space ? What i have to do to have the space free again ?

About Storage Memory?

how can we increase storage memory? i have only 1.25 mb and it sucks. i used many tools to clean memory but i did not get the result i expected...i use 6.1 pro.
Install a new rom without programs (clean) and put all programs on storage card
is there a clean rom for erofich's 6.1 pro??
No !!
this is my big problem with startrek !
erofich's pro rom is great ... but after installing it , you have about 9 MB of storage space .
so when you add some necessary apps to device ... the drama is begin !!!!!!!!
there is no clean version of this rom . however , with a clean rom you must install further applications and in the end ... the results is same !
best way : buying singular 8125 with 128 MB ram !!
but i love this phone
anyway, after installing a navigasion program with some other necessary programs like dictionary gprs counter, i got only 1 mb free space i wish there could be a solution but nothing to do thnx by the way...
maybe all your apps installed in memory phone ??
if you can forget the pro rom , you can use from Erofich's clean rom ( the lightest wm 6.1 rom )
after installing that , you must first install the .net 3.5 compact for installing other apps . but for me , after installing all my necessary programs , finally about 10 MB storage space is reserved ...
remember that you must all apps in staorage card
no, i never install apps in phone mem.
maybe i will give it a try thx...

It always tells me there is no enough room to store Apps

My Adroid phone was told RAM 8G, but I can only use less than 5GB, and all the datas suming up are less than 1GB, but it always tells it doesn't have enough storage to install new apps. So I tried to move some apps to the memory card with 16GB, but I couldn't make it. Can you help me?

Is it any app or just 1 specific ? ...
I encountered that for 1 specific app ... which was my file manager ... it had root permissions & I made an update .. that screwed it up .
I had to recover a backup of it & disable root permsion so I could update ....
otherwise check this

[Q] Vivo Y22 Storage Too Small (and other questions)

Dear developers,
Recently I got a new phone Vivo Y22 with Funtouch OS v1.0 (Christmas present). Its was okay at first then it start telling me that storage has not enough space (with only factory apps and Clean Master). I realize the it had about 4GB internal storage but divided to 2 parts. 2.5GB for system space and 1.06GB as internal storage. In system space, i have only 150mb left I always need to use Clean Master to wipe cache before I download anything. I tried Link2SD, I formatted my SD card and set 4GB partition as EXT2 but did not detect. Same goes for EXT3 and EXT4. It only works for FAT32 but some files cannot be linked using this format. Read some threads in web, they mentioned some phone does not support EXT2,3,4 format. Maybe this is my case? I tried to look for informations about Vivo Y22 but very less and worst, some of them is in chinese.
So the 1st question is: How can I increase the system space? Could I adjust the system space to occupy my more of my Internal Memory?
Second question is, how do I update my phone from JellyBean to KitKat? Do I follow tutorials that uses the same Chipset (Y22 uses MediaTek MT6582)? How if I want to install custom ROMs like CM11 (can't find Vivo Y22 in Device section in CM site so i presume it is not supported?)? There is very less information about rooting and flashing when it comes to this phone. I only manage to root the phone using tutorials given for some other chinese phone.
Thanks in advance..

Did you ever manage to fix this? I'd love to root my Y22 and put vanilla Android on there but can't find how to do it. The memory problem is useless on this phone.

smallest rom

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
