Hi!
I have a problem in LG G2 mini of my brother!
He have make upgrade by wifi to Lollipop but he see that System Data
is too big 3,76Gb.
I have tryed to update with LG Flash Tool two times but System Data
increase to 4,11Gb.
How can I resolve that?
The phone is original, still under warranty and never root that.
Is a solution?
I have set twenty LG G2 Mini and this is the only one that have this
problem.
Thanks to everything.
On KitKat, it only shows user accessible space (a little less than 4GB).
On Lollipop, it shows the whole storage chip (8GB), including the ~4GB taken up by the system.
I am gonna be as clear as I can:
You cannot take that space back, as it is required for the system to work!

is there a list of safely removable programs?

That won't change anything. (You need root anyway)
System apps are stored on the system partition ( /system ) which by itself is 2GB and you can't change its size without root. However, even if you had root, it is very dangerous and the stock Lollipop ROM leaves ~30MB free on it, so the system would brake (and you would end up with a soft-bricked phone).
The other 2GB are taken by other partitions, all of which are required and you can't reduce their size.
Sorry

Ok, thanks for the reply. But it's strange that in my smartphone there isn't this separation, while in 4 smartphone I noticed it but of different sizes. Why different sizes? Strange...can you tell me also that my curiosity ?
2 gigs for system folder, 700 mb for cache. Plus some folders between 200 and 500. Maybe some carrier chances using or not these folders. Would need to look further to find the reason.

Dalvik cache stuff...
Hi, ive heard you could delete the dalvik cache file of the leftover of kitkat... Is that possible ? And would that be fine?

You need root.
Simply delete /data/dalvik-cache
BTW, it will free a lot of space.

Wow, thanks, I'll do that. But that won't affect anything, right?... since im in lollipop now.
And, is everything in data/dalvik-cache safe to remove? Thanks a bunch!

Delete everything under /data/dalvik-cache and then reboot immediately!
If the system needs any of those files, it will recreate them on boot.

On my rooted 2.1, after I un-installed those defaulted apps like Moxier, Wisepilot etc using Titanium backup, the internal phone storage space does not increased after that. Why? How do I release those occupied internal storage space? Thanks
i think they have different partitions,just only my 2 cents
anyone has rooted the X10 with 2.1 noticed the same? How do I release those internal space? Thanks
it is in fact seperate partitions, all those preinstalled apps you remove are in /system, the space value you look at is for /data, one way to save on data space is to push all your apps to /system, only pitfall you run into is that market will not be able to update them but... if you have a bunch of apps that never get updated, /system would be a great place for them to live. also, anything you put in /system can be themed easily, as signing is not required
Yeah.try check tge contain of memory card. I found too many xtra folder and full of cache files.

Did you check the (pre-root) "uninstall applications" section?
I noticed that theres the "play now" and such sitting in there are marked as taking up 0.0 but i removed those, and my space shot down....a lot actually...im sitting at 130 used now. Or am i just thinking the space is cleared now?

Perhaps you can use soft links, command "ln"

What I mean is that you move the apps, and create a soft link in the place where the app used to be that points to the new place.
Hello.
Im upgrading my roms relative often.
Now im wondering whats with the data os stores in images.
I dont know which apps stores what and where.
If i swap rooted romimages - can i be sure there wont mess someting or a lot up?
If i use something like Titanium Backup, wont it copy crap from old to new image?
Is it better to reinstall the apps from hand after upgrade from 4.05 to 4.06??
And whats with gmail accounts, other accounts, caches, etc ...?

If you use archos.ext4.update files (eg. 4.0.5->4.0.6) there should be no problem, dalvik-cache is wiped during update.
However if you want to change Android version (Honeycomb->ICS or the other way) it is strongly recommended to do a full wipe, there were important changes in the way system handles databases (not to mention that some settings are not present or have different names)

Rather not, TB has option to "migrate system data between incompatible firmwares" and it works fine. However all possible crap present in app data will be untouched

It doesn't matter, data structure is the same.
upgraded to ics without wiping dalvik cache (dont know, hadnt the option however)
From rooted image to official.
it showd on first boot updating applications, counted and there were nothing at 30 percent ca.
Had to force reboot my archos, then it counted to 50 percent of my apps, then again a freeze.
Had to to this for times, or five times, then i got in first start wizard.
The total count of apps differred every time about 10 apps more or less at every reboot.
Strange.
The same as i updated from 4.0.4 to 4.0.5
Perhaps i should do a full format before updating and instll all my apps again and work through all apps my settings again?
Sorry for my english.
Thanks for good answers above, but i thinked i had messed my system for two months and have to righten it now for once.

I get what i get if i download these rooted roms, and sometimes it is only an image file and a kernel and a ramdisk. However till now it was so.
What i downloaded last time was so an update file.
But there i assume you have to start it somehow from the old rooted firmware?
p.s
Is there a possibility to examine this images and updates before real flashing?
Or to extract special files from there?
Are these ext3/ext4 images to open with winimage e.g. or to loop mount in linux for example?

Flashing official update always wipes dalvik-cache.

It's perfectly normal- dalvik-cache is beeing rebuilt (ICS shows "updating applications"), freezes during this and differences in app count are also "normal" (happen always on mine Gen9, app count- how many apps have to be processed)

Just copy the image (unzipped!!!!) to the root of storage and reboot. Kernel will do the rest.

Only real flashing is done for official firmware updates (.aos files) and custom kernel. Archos.ext4 (or archos.ext4.update) file does not modify anything, it's just a file.
If you want to examine contents do
Code:
mount -o loop
in linux, files are ext4 images. I didn't use Winimage so I can's say anything about it. However changes between images won't tell you anything unless you a)decompile files or b)know where and what to look
Hello everyone,
I've (CF) rooted my S3 only to move app data to my extSD card. The official stock firmware (JB 4.1.1) is still on it, and i would like to keep it that way (serves me good). I've tried directory bind and Link2SD.
Both of the apps don't work (or i'm to much of a noob to get it going)!
Directory bind just moves files from one location, but when i start the app, it gives me a error (in this case, tomtom).
Also the alternative management options in this app, dont give me tools to "bind".
Link2SD makes links (on the second partition of the ext.sd) but doesn't want to move the app data to the first partition of the ext.sd The error is "insufficient storage space", but there is over 27gb of (fat32) free space. The second extsd partition is 2gb of ext4.
Am I doing something wrong, or is the official stock FW just not up to the task?
Greetings, RedKingCrab

Ho Bro,
i have the same problem, but as i know this is some new bull**** in the System or maybe just on Samsung devices.
The only app wich is more ore less useful is the "GL to SD"..

It seems that some versions are not well supported yet. Maybe in a couple of monts it will. I'll try again later on, including GL to SD.
So i've unrooted my S3 allready, because rooting it gave me troubles installing manual apps!
If I manualy wanted to install a apk file, i got an error (not enough memory )

Did you manage to figure this out?
Were you creating both partitions as primary?
What app did you wind up using: Link2SD or GLtoSD?

Sorry bro, didn't get it to work on stock fw.
Because of time issues i haven't been able to figure this problem out. I've unrooted the phone and flashed back with original stock.
Maybe its the way you created your partitions.

That's a misunderstanding.
While Safestrap does limit you to a 4GB partition, the way HDX counts storage is the data (books, music, video, pictures...) resides in a completely SEPARATE storage that's NOT a part of the 4GB limit.
So apps that count storage will show you that you have stuff way past 4GB.. and you do have stuff stored there.
So the 4GB limit doesn't actually mean very much to apps that are written properly.
Now to answer your question... Yes, you can use it on stock OR any ROM slot. I did.
Google Play?

Yes, I used this to get it working on my stock ROM. While not recommended, it is possible to flash in SafeStrap to the stock ROM slot. Just make sure you have a nandroid backup first, in case things go wrong. And follow the instructions to a T, otherwise they will not work.
Only Way?

No. You can do it using SafeStrap in a rom slot. Or, you can just install the Xposed stuff & then use a utility like KindleFree to install the play store, or use adb & do it yourself by hand, or you can modify the partition table & utilize the secondary framework location (don't even think about this option)...
The bottom line however, SafeStrap DOES NOT limit device storage. It creates a loopback partition with a shared storage pool. The only thing that is limited is the rom slot /system, /data & /cache looped partitions. These are limited in the stock, 100% factory setup too, but the user storage space is SHARED. So, when you have a big app, like Asphalt, or Madded 25, the biggest thing is the obb files, which are stored in /sdcard/android/data & is a part of the shared storage. While the storage settings may say xxGb available, it does not correctly reflect how much storage you truly have. You can indeed access 100% of your 64Gb, or 32Gb, or whatever amount of storage your HDX came with. the only thing you lose storage-wise, is the 4Gb you use for the rom slot,
PEOPLE! You still have access to ALL of your user storage, i.e. /sdcard with SafeStrap.
Sweet!

Regarding storage
The issue I've run into regarding the 4gig partition is that if I download shows from Amazon Prime for offline viewing, it seems to go against my 4 gig. So right now I can really only download one or two shows onto my Kindle via Prime offline viewing. Anything I can do about this or am I missing something?

Yes you can, but if you f*** up, you don't have a backup, so it's MUCH SAFER to play with a ROM slot instead. Capisce?

First of all I want to say thanks to all who contribute to this forum. I just bought my HDX 7" and within minutes I was able to get root access, Safestrap, and install the Google Play Store. No issues whatsoever, it all works great and the Kindle rocks! :good:
The only issue I have is with the quote above. I also see that everything eats up those 4GBs, not just Amazon Prime videos but also games, my own videos, Google Play apps, or anything else really. I only have about a GB left and that means I can't really do anything.
And no, that is not what's actually left. I rebooted with the stock ROM and it was showing 6GBs of free space.
Am I the only one having this problem? What I read about the Kindle installing apps on shared storage sounded great but it doesn't seem to apply to me at all.
My Firmware version is 13.3.1.0.

yep. And it's not just wrongly displayed as I read in other threads - whatever I try to download of a certain size, it just fails because I don't have enough storage. I'm confused
Anyone have tried install gapps in rom slot, then backup and then restore this backup to stock rom? If it works well, we can delete the rom slot, and recreate it when we need.

Not much was there. I'd say less than 1GB, just some basic apps.
Then I tried to download an Amazon Prime video and it failed. I tried to download a Youtube video and still failed.
I tried to transfer a movie from my Mac and failed. It would just say that there wasn't enough storage available.
For now I have restored to default because it was unusable with only 1GB of space left. I'm pretty sure I still have root access but all the Google Play stuff along with Safestrap is gone, and I have 12GBs left (out of 16).
Hi,
sorry to disturb you but I do have some little "problems" with my HTC ONE AT&T.
I bought this phone, simunlocked already, and with revone I put it SOFF and than I "converted" it to international version of it (thinking that keeping the AT&T versionI coudn't install internatinal rom...I understood I was wrong but anyway I'm from Europe so I like to have international CID).
Few strange things happened (I'm not sure if it's normal or not).
The first one is that it seems that my phone is loosing memory, it's supposed to have 32 Gb but, as you can see from the attachment, it has just 25.5 Gb, is that normal (I do use a really slim rom, just 150 Mb, but anyway it's the same with any rom I install)...is it normal? Is it possible to format ALL and restore all the memory to an initial state (where there shall be at least 30-31 Gb avaialble I think)??
The second is that sometimes, after installing a rom, exiting the aroma installer, the screen become black instead of getting me back to the recovery (actually it seems it brings me back to the recovery but the screen goes off and no way to turn it on...so force reboot and than everything works fine....but sometimes reinstalling the same rom over and over it works fine, it bring me back to recovery and I can normally reboot the system), is it normal?
Than during the boot it says that this is a test device and so on (a sentence written under the HTC logo), is there a way to remove it? I thought I could do it with revone (I thought it was the tempered flag) but I tried the following thing and isn't removing it even if it says succesfully: Re-run revone to remove TAMPERED from your HBOOT screen: ./revone -t (but maybe it's another thing).
So is there a way to remove that sentence?
Thanks,
Massimiliano

Just go into settings and select storage. It tells you what is being used and by what.. Memory is used like a hard drive and it is formatted so the system can use it properly. That being said on 32GB you loose about 2GB to the formatting. Then the system and everything else on he phone uses it. There is also a swap file of several GB that is used when the 2GB of RAM is too full. There are also a couple of cache that use that memory as well. What you are seeing is typical storage usage of most phones running on Android. You loose around 7 to 10 GB to the system.

Well is like installing Linux on a computer.. The easy setup sets different partitions that the system is going to use for multiple purposes hence losing some GB in the process to be able to perform as required.

Ok I do understand that but as you can see from the screenshot attached in Setting-Storage it says Total Space 25.59Gb, available 24 and something.
I would like to see/understand/access the remaining 6/7 Gb that are not showed there!
I've the feelings that the memory is decreasing every time I'm installing a rom, I also formatted EVERYTHING. loosing the operating system (than I had to push a rom in the memory) but still is like that!
Any suggestion or idea on how to see what is inside those 7 Gb "missing" from the total space?
Any way to format them?
It's not missing, open a terminal window and execute df command - that will list partitions. Data is 25.6GB, system 1.8GB, cache 600MB, etc. All 32GB are there, but are partitioned for different aspects of the OS, you can't change that.

Thank you so much for your answer, I'm slowly understanding how this is working
I am than wondering if it's possible that multiple install of things (updating hboot, recovery, different rom and so on) can leave some "dirty" file or folder meaning that some not necessary files are still there taking space for nothing.
This is my df results, can you check if, for your opinion, everything is fine or if there is some folder too big as it shall be?
Another question is if it's possible to just delete ALL the 32Gb, removing all the partition and stuff and then in some way restore it to a "default" (I don't know what I'm actually saying, I hope you understood what I mean...mainly like in any windows pc you can just remove all the partition, format all and reinstall the OS from zero).
Thanks a lot,
Massimiliano
p.s. I'm including the screenshot of my df result

It looks normal, you can't delete all of the partitions it would brick the phone. Flashing roms doesn't leave old files, because the install wipes the system first.

I don't want to sound like an ass but what you have is normal so you are going to have to live with it. There is no way to get more memory cleared up unless you have absolutely nothing but the ROM running and nothing else downloaded and installed. Everyone who has the 32GB version of this phone has the same amount of memory as you. Some have less as they have installed other apps. added music, movies, and pictures.
The ONLY way you could get more memory is to get the 64GB version of this phone. I knew it did not have a card slot so I took that into account and bought the 64GB version so I would have plenty of space for anything I wanted.

If I knew that 32 Gb meant 25 I would consider to buy the 64 Gb too ... but other than te space I just wanted to understand IF it was normal that, after just flashed a really basic clean rom (just 156 mb of rom) it was normal to have just 25 Gb free (no other additional apps, no photo and so on) ... it's normal, ok, I'll be happy with that and next phone I'll consider a 64Gb version of it.
Thanks everyone for the reply
