Hey guyss.. I have a problem. I flashed soak test ota zip via twrp recovery..now when i install any app, it consumes a lot of space in the internal memory.. For ex if i have 400 mb used after installing lollipop ota, nd if i flash super su zip then it consumes around 60 to 70 mb of internal memory.. Moreover if i try moving apps to sd card only a part of it is transferred.. Like if i move a 40 mb app to sd card 20-25 mb goes to sd card nd rest is in internal memory. I just want to ask that whether it is a bug or somethng, cuz it never happens on cyanogenmod 12.. Plzz help..

try to reset your phone ( to delete all kitkat unused or leftover files as when i flash lollipop ota i got 1.43gb free space )and as lollipop uses ART runtime instead of dalvik which uses more space for app installation as byte code is compiled at installation time and not at runtime as dalvik runtime for more info please refer to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/dedicated-runtime-thread-art-vs-dalvik-t2516646

I heard at the nexus 4 forums that wiping cache and reset via stock recovery solves the issue.. Will try it today.. Thankss for ur help buddy
same issue
I am having this exact same issue. I flashed the soak test rom and i have factory reset my phone for like six or seven times. Still the low storage issue comes up eventually. Also the first reboot after factory reset after lollipop has never been successful. It gets stuck on the M logo and eventually i end up long press power button. After that it boots fine.
My issue is that internal storage keeps getting low and lower. When i reset i had 540 mb and now with exact same apps is around 180 mb. Which repels any app update due to insufficient storage. Junk cleaner Doesn't helps much. To keep off the constant low storage notification i am forced 5o manually delete data from messenger app from facebook which is always around 50mb. Damn i am pissed on lollipop.. i wish i could roll back but that process is way too complicated and also i am addicted to the lock screen notifications and oter features of lollipop.. so any substantial help would be greatly appreciated.
Its because of the cache on art
If you wipe the cache you will get some free space but that space will again fill up as and when you start using the apps.
So instead of freeing some space if you are rooted get link2sd or use xinternalsd with xposed otherwise switch to kitkat.

I have a big problem if it is not normal or not, I just installed the rom based on android 4.1 (omega rom), did a full wipe, even format the internal storage was empty now, but for some reason there are 500 mb that are being used by a hidden folder called:'' system data'', which can not be deleted and also missing from Windows Explorer.
Is this normal? I would also like to clarify that the size of this ''folder'' for some reason is growing
And it will grow with any apk you'll install.

Thanks for the comment, then it is normal that in the phone's internal memory truth (which supposedly is 16GB)?
I do not understand is why they are there if i format the internal memory from recovery.
UP, please help me!! apparently this space: ''system data'' increases more and more for every application that installed, this means that applications are installed on internal memory space?
That 500MB is a partition on the sd card for.....you guessed it......system data.....note in the picture you took there is currently nothing in that partition

But if a partition, its size should not be still? because it increases and decreases in size?
Why is it then that partition increases when installing an app? and if uninstall the volume decreases ... assumes that applications are installed in "/ data/app" then that is what takes up space?
updates
any??
Hello everyone, cause I am new here.
I hope I've set this topic in a proper forum. I seem it is a general problem, not connected with specific model of phone.
It began when I was updating apps on the phone - I saw a message about a lack of free space. Update couldn't be continued. I had CyanMobile eXperience custom ROM, my phone is Samsung Galaxy Mini.
Firstly, I tried to clean SD card, removing most of photos taken with camera. It helped for a short period of time, but although I had plenty of free room on SD card, the problem returned. There was no free place on the internal memory.
I tried to move all possible apps to SD card using options from settings menu (most of them were already on the card, I had done it before), but this also help for a short time.
So I entered Recovery and used Wipe Cache. What is important - probably without any need I used also Fix Permissions option. After this, the phone stopped reacting, so I turned out the battery (now I know that I shouldn't do it).
After a reboot, the OS and the launcher returned to factory settings. I understand that it's a consequence of Wipe Cache. But, additionally, Home key stopped working. I guess that it might be because of the wrong use of the Fix Permissions. So I repeated it (waiting until the Fix Permissions finishes), but it didn't help. Home key didn't work all the time.
I read that the only solution is reflashing the ROM, so i decided to install something newer: this CyanogenMod. It helped for a Home hey problem, but not for a free space problem.
Somebody adviced me to use Link2SD app. I managed to install it after removing few apps and moved all possible apps to SD card with this app. To do it, I had to repartition the card. I made 512 MB Ext4 partition (my SD card is 2 GB) for Link2SD. Installed one or two updates and the problem came back again.
I have no idea what to do now. I'm wondering about Wipe Data, but I am not convinced to do it, cause I would have to install everything again. Moreover, I seem that it won't give much, after installing all the apps and updates it will be no free place in the phone internal drive again.
Meanwhile, don't know why: due to Fix Permissions misuse, Wipe Cache, or changing ROM, some apps vanished.
The OS shows 23,95 MB free space in the internal memory (total capacity - 178 MB, 58,71 MB used by apps data, 576 MB by cache, so about 120 MB strangely disappeared) and 370 MB free space on SD card (not taking into account Link2SD partition - second one with FAT16: capacity 1,36 GB, 56 KB taken by apps data, 27,2 MB by photos and movies, 64 KB by sounds, 80,55 MB by downloaded data, 288 KB - cache, 545 MB - "different").
Strange is this "eaten" part of the phone internal drive.
What to do now?
I have my device rooted and everything has been fine i also have Xposed installer xblast tools and xperia xposed. I mainly wanted to be able to customise some colours and icons etc. Recently though i have being having problems with a lot of apps including the camera closing i.e android.process.whatsaap has stopped etc. When trying to send the error report or reloading the app i get not enough storage available. I checked and there is about 7gig left on the internal card and about 2 gig of system space. I also have a 64gig external card but makes no difference as the apps are installed internally. I have to keep using App Cache Cleaner to get the phone working properly again. Now app cache cleaner only reports about 4mb of data in the cache not 7gig!! It normally happens after some moderate browsing and whatsapp messeginh etc. I at a loss though because it does not make sense when there is clearly available system space. Is ther an issue with the latest kitkat update 4.4.2? Anyone else had this issue?

I don't think it s because of Xperia Firmware.
when u root ur device and install lots of 3rd party modules with root access to customize ur phone incoming issues most likely to be because of them and not firmware.
check if u change any system properties about Storage! like mount ext memory with internal or ...
that happened for me but i just reset phone
Good Luck

I'm running the latest CM snapshot. I've been getting the infamous "Insufficient Storage Available" error for a while not, usually with chrome. There are various solutions. The "delete /data/app-lib/<app>/lib" solution was working ok for me but I can no longer find chrome in there anymore for some reason. I've already moved every app that can be moved to the "internal" SD card. All the "solutions" are really just workarounds trying to clear space.
Is it possible to increase the size of the partition by re partitioning the internal storage?

I know that apps can be moved to the SD card. That isnt a solution nor my question.
I'm asking of the internal storage can be repartitioned
I'm having the same issue. I desperately need to reparation my phone.
i'm running viper rom with the sdcard swap mode.
i'm now back to getting insufficient memory messages when trying to update apps or sometimes run apps. it shows i still have plenty of free memory... i have been moving apps to sd card and that works for a little while.

You need to look at internal storage, not SD card storage.
So I did system dump today to explore the files on my computer see what's hogging all of my space.
Background: I have only have 13 apps installed.
What I found is that my data/data is 346 MB and my data/delvik-cache is 452 MB.
So the files installed by CM are getting more numerous and of greater size. Not sure what to do to solve this problem.

same issue here. davlik cache is similar to a cache of your applications so they start faster. So it doesnt matter if you move apps to SD, you'll still have davlik.
Also, many apps will still store data in internal memory eventhough the app itself is on SD. I wish there were a way to move the data.
Or as I initially suggested, re-partitioning.

well, there isn't ANY easy re-partitioning tool for android out in the wild that i KNOW of ... but, (at least to let you know) ... I'm currently still trying to _hack_ something together similar to the internal storage-partition upgrades that the other HTC One devices with MSM8960 recieved ... where they officially unified the /user partition with the internal /sd-card (fat) partition! ... it might take a few weeks until i have something to show around (as work keeps me very busy throughout the week), but i'm working on it.
just as a quick question so CM currently DOES put it's dalvik to the /user partition??? i thought they put it to /cache??? (at least on CM10.1 and CM10.2) ................ so feedback would be highly welcome :laugh:
I have a stock Android 6.0 tablet iBall Slide 4G. When I reset the device, it has 10 GB free out of 16 GB total. I have less than 10 apps on it other than stock Google apps. The problem is that as apps get updated, it keeps consuimg internal storage to such an extend that within a month it consumes total 10 GB free internal storage. Even if I clean cache etc. using clean master app, it does not clear more than 200-300 MB and internal storage is full. I have other Android 6.0 phones like CoolPad Note 5 etc. that have 16 GB internal storage but its memory usage does not exceed more than 1-2 GB even after updating all apps through out the year.
Because of my above problem in my tablet, I have to reset my tablet every month. Please suggest a solution.

Disable automatic Updates from play store.
And only install those updates which are necessary or critical to the apps.
To disable automatic updates
>Goto play store.
>Goto settings from sidebar.
>There will be a option of 'auto update apps', open this
option and select 'do not auto update apps'.
Hit thanks if helped.

I have reeder tab it makes log files. One of them is 35 mb and a month later it makes 100 of them. Your problem could be something like this. I think you should analyze storage. With this you can see which file takes how many storage. To do that I recommend es file exporer. Install es file explorer (recommend v4.0.2 from apkmirror.com) press navigate button choose sd card analyst. If this not work no big files go to settings apps check youtube, facebook, instagram cache some cleaner apps cant detect their cache. Clear them manualy.
Hope these work for you
