[Q] data partition almost full on new rom - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I am wondering if anyone can help. I installed a new rom and the data partition is showing 9.31GB /9.59GB used. I haven't loaded any additional apps since I started with this rom though, so I don't know what is using the data. Because of this, I can't install new apps.
When I loaded the rom, it shows 9GB free, but then after restarting for the first time, it uses up all 9GB. I've tried wiping and formatting the data in twrp, but it still has the issue.
I'm currently using PAC rom but I also had the same issue with Omni, Slimkat, and liquid smooth.
Any ideas?!!

I'd say it's time to just wipe the phone using Odin and start over since you've had that issue across a few ROMs

[Q] Phone freezing after updating ROM

I've already asked in the relevant ROM thread but thought I'd try here in case anyone else has had a similar issue.
I'm currently running Westcrip ICS 9.4 and tried to update to latest version but phone freezes a few seconds after booting (have to restart/battery pull)
I've tried wiping data/cache/dalvik/fix permissions but get exactly the same problem.
I've tried flashing stock GB through odin which works ok and then flashing again but get exactly the same problem.
I've tried flashing bezkes aokp but get exactly the same problem.
Thankfully my 9.4 backup restores OK and runs without any freezes.
The only thing I think it might be is something dodgy/corrupt on my internal memory or SD card. Is it safe to wipe these? I dont want to move my backup as I've had MD5 problems when trying to restore in the past.
Does anyone have any other ideas? I've looked around on the forum/google but can't find anyone else reporting the same problem.
This is driving me mad!! Am I missing something?
No ideas?
Ill try again after clearing internal storage. Can someone recommend the best way to do this please?
I should have said that i get the freeze problems with no non rom apps installed...

Well you are using buggy beta ICS base .
As you can flash and use a stock rom then the problem is the rom you are flashing .
Possible corrupt download .

Thanks for the reply. I tried downloading again but still have the same problem with resurrection and bezke so will try loading a stock ics base through odin when i get home tonight. Do you think my 9.4 resurrection base could be the problem? I read that on earlier ics roms that you should flash stock ics first?

No idea really but how can you flash a stock ICS its not released .

I've been using Bezke's AOKP for 5 days now, without any problem, so the problem is definitely not in his ROM.
When you flash it, try the following:
after wiping data, cache and dalvik, go to mounts and storage and hit format system. It could do the trick maybe...

Arghh!!! Tried this and thought it had solved the problem. I've managed to install the new paradoxx rom now and even reinstall my apps and set up email account, but phone eventually freezes again. I've even started getting random freezes in CWM now! What I cant understand is why my phone is still rock solid running my westcrip 9.4 backup??
I think I might have flashed my phone to an early grave!!
That is really strange. Sorry that formatting system didn't help

[Q] can't flash AOSP ROMS

Anyone have an idea why every time I install an aosp rom it glitches at the Samsung boot screen then just goes black and I have to pull the battery? I've installed clean, jelly beans and jedi Rom without issue. Any help is appreciated.
Update your twrp then try again. Make sure your doing full wipes and flashing gapps

Just updated my TWRP to 2.4 and did what you suggested with the wiping and same problem.
The Samsung Galaxy screen glitches to half way off the screen, then goes off, then comes back on then the whole thing goes black and nothing.
I'm going to try another rom and see if it still does it as well.

Even with another ROM it doesn't seem to want to work. It's really weird, because any Touchwiz ROM works fine, it only does it on AOSP roms..... I'm hoping someone knows what the fix for this is.

in my experience, you need to do a factory wipe again AFTER you install or you will get a bootloop.
I think CM10.1 mentions that in their install process.

Would it help in any way to change to CWM when flashing my AOSP roms?

I would try cwm, I had a gs3 that couodnt flash anything with cwm but could with twrp, my note was the opposite, cwm was awful on it.
Just ran into something very interesting . When I installed Rom Manager and flashed the CWM recovery, I rebooted and my boot screen did the exact same thing it was doing installing AOSP roms. It would seem my problem may just be CWM.

I've heard too many issues with cwm to even try it. Twrp has been flawless for me so why switch? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Ok, so update - Odin'd back to stock and re-rooted using the Casual method. I have the most recent TWRP installed and when i install the AOSP rom it does the exact same thing. I'm thinking about videotaping what the boot animation does and maybe someone can look at it and see what the cause may possibly be.
If anyone has any other suggestions i'm all ears. Again, any rom based on STOCK works without issue (Clean Rom, Jelly Beans and Jedi), but only AOSP roms (And CWM) crash the phone at "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen on startup.
Thanks for the suggestions so far, just weird it's not working. I may have the single note 2 to never run AOSP roms. LOL
so... oddly enough i still have trouble installing AOSP roms. the only AOSP rom i have been able to install so far is Paranoid Droid. I am slowly trying each one just to see which one i can force to work. Am I the only person who can't just flash whichever rom I want whenever?
Anyone with other ideas on this? I was frequently flashing back and forth between TW and AOSP. The other day I tried to flash AOSP again and get a failed message in TWRP. Already using latest version of TWRP. I then restore a backup of TW. Download again, verify md5, get failed message again. And yes, I wiped everything...same thing I do everytime. Now I have tried to DL and flash multiple different AOSP roms and I get failed everytime. Decided to try CWM recovery and that just aborts. I have NO problems flashing TW roms though
Follow the advice to Odin back to stock and start over. Otherwise, get a replacement and tell them it's acting weird and slow haha.

I currently have a Tmobile Note 2. And i recently ran into the same issue. I think it started after installing a certain paranoid andrroid rom, which wrote OS folders differently from what i am normally used to seeing. The folders were 0, legacy, and obb. I also notice that it changed my device id to an SGH-i317, which is an ATT Note 2. The rom was a port from an ATT rom of course, but if it was for ATT, it wouldn't work on my device right? I installed GOOmanager, and flashed the OPEN INSTALL SCRIPT. Which it flashed the ATT version. Everything still worked. I flashed back to stock, and updated OTA. Still nothing. I've also noticed that, if i can open the zip file on my pc, it will work on my phone. For some reason, The AOSP files read invalid. While the Touchwiz roms open like a regular zip file.
Any help is appreciated. Hope some of this info helps.
Just realized i posted in the Verizon section. But i think you and I are the only two people with this issue...lol

This is standard on 4.2.2 ROMs. It is related to the multi-user implementation.

First time when I installed from stock rom, I did a full wipe, I had everything backed up so i formated everything.
Later when i got this prob, I reinstalled by doing dalvik and cache wipe.

I had this issue as well. Are you using Faux kernel? That might be causing that or try to factory rest, wipe clean partitions delvik ...everything including internal SD. To be safe wipe twice. Also use ARHD super wipe. Then flash through recovery. Keep using the default kernel that comes with the ROM. Hope this helps.

Well I am not using faux kernel.
I think flashing latest gapps can help, but have no time to check. I am on travel this whole week. Should be able to check on weekend.

[Q] Weird issues Cm11 / Stock

Hi there,
My SIII i9300 has been rooted and flashed with CM from CM 10.x to 11.x. Hoewever, recently it started to not give any audio during voice calls trough the normal mic. Speakers do work.
So, i've tried reflashing, clearing cache / dalvik etc. To no avail.
I then tried stock rom and for some reason this seems to do the trick.
As i'm not really a great fan of the Samsung bloatware and the 'awesome' skin overlay of samsung i would like to fix this issue.
I also tried some different roms to no avail. ( Also, i installed cm 10.2 because that used to be working fine)
I then tried installing different modems via CWM and ODIN. (BUELK1) and (CEEL1). It's a dutch phone on vodafone.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Btw, currently i'm running CM 11 nightly see below. Android 4.4.2
My baceband is currently i9300CEELL1
Kernel version 3.0.64-CM-gb1c5066
CM 11-20140228
greetinges, Volc
Try installing the ROM before wiping everything, including System ( data is recommended, as long as you don't have something important not backed up). And with 4.4 try to use MK6 modem or higher.

Hi Andry!
Many thanks for your reply. So I should turn back stock, install cm and that mk6 without wiping? I'm not sure if cm will install without the wipe..
The mk6 modem, do you have any clue where to search it?

I thought you found the modems on www.boeffla-kernel.de . You can find them in the Download section. Also, if you are on CM11 (or any other ROM actually), you should download the ROM tog want to flash on your external SD Card, reboot into recovery, wipe system, cache, dalvik cache and data, flash the ROM, reboot system and use it for a few moments at least ( I would recommend you do that so that you won't get bootloop). Then, reboot into download mode, connect phone to Odin and flash the ROM. I would recommend wipe shading cache and dalvik cache, just for a flawless experience.

I saw this phone firsthand. (Hi volcomoo!)
The roms were flashed OK, double triple quadruple wiping probably wont make any difference.
The weird thing is that with CM installed there seems to be a hardware issue, when we flash the phone back to stock, everything works. I guess the developers will say "logcat or it didn't happen"....

[Q] Rom size inflates on second boot - rom too big

It seems that on the first boot I have about 9GB of free space. However, the second time the phone boots, I have about only 415MB free which means that it won't let me install certain apps or updates.
I'm currently using PAC rom, but I've also tried with Omni, Liquidsmooth, and had the same results. The issue is that when I install the rom everything looks ok on the first boot. However, when I restart the phone gets stuck at the Galaxy S4 boot screen for about 20 minutes. This has always been the case for me, but then the phone works normally after that. However, now it seems that no matter which rom I use I don't have much free space after the second boot.
Any ideas?! This is driving me nuts.
