I recently flashed the deodexed stock rom and noticed my internal storage was only about 22gb. What is the "normal" available storage for the G3? I thought it was around 25-26gb. Is there anything I need to do to fix it?
Edit update:
After wiping internal storage in TWRP, it came down to 6.92gb with 24.16 available. I suggest fully wiping the internal and installing from SD card for new roms for the time being.
Hi guys I have a simple question. I have an LG l90 with the CM13. Now I want to update it to another CM nightly but here's the trouble: I have a micro sd encrypted with the new marshmallow's system so firstly if I download the new CM rom it will be saved onto the encrypted sd and when I switch on my mobile with the TWRP recovery, it isn't able to get into the sd because it's encrypted. I know I should solve this problem removing the sd and putting the rar file inside the internal memory and then insert the sd. But is that correct/fair?
The other question is: if I update the rom simply installing it without wiping anything, the phone will still be able to read the encrypted sd card or won't it be recognized?
I guess many other people have these questions ahahah
Will "adopting" my SD card as internal storage cause issues installing roms?
I am currently running a custom rom and am constantly running out of space on my Moto X Pure 16GB, even though I don't have that many apps installed. If I adopt my SD card as internal storage, will this prevent me from installing new roms in the future, or make it difficult/impossible? I can't really find any information on how the process would be different.
So i have this little question. If i install my sd card as internal storage can i then still flash custom roms? I was thinking maybe the sd card will think my phone is a different one if i install a custom rom?
Thanks
Good question.
I'm currently using my SD card as adopted storage in CM13 and TWRP is able to see files on the SD card just fine.
However, after flashing the ROM, I'm not sure if Android will pick up that the card is adopted storage and just pull in the apps, or if it will make you format the SD card. I would think that the latter would only apply after a wipe of /data, but hopefully someone can chime in with actual experience on the matter.
So I bought a used Moto E 1st Gen to use while my Nexus 5X is being repaired, but I've found it to be almost unusable, thanks to its limited internal storage. It can't even update all the built in apps without running out of room, and none of them are transferable to my 32GB micro SD card! Installing new apps is very difficult, and sometimes impossible.
I think that part of the trouble is that it's running Android 5.1, which I believe significantly impaired the ability to make use of the external memory (right?).
I was hoping to use this phone temporarily as a backup device, and as such, I really just wanted it pure and simple and easy. The phone seems fine and the battery life is great, but I can't put all my apps on it.
So what's the most pragmatic way of dealing with this problem? Can I flash an older, stock ROM without having to unlock the bootloader? If I unlock it and flash a custom ROM, won't the later ones suffer this problem too? Would I be best using an older ROM from the days before Lollipop when external memory was easier to take advantage of?
Thanks wise sages, George

See friend, if you don't want to unlock your bootloader then you must flash the stock KitKat ROM as you can use your memory card to move the apps. But you can only move the apps which can be moved to external and if you have apps which can't be moved to external, you may run out of storage.
If you unlock your bootloader and flash Custom ROM which is MM or higher then you can use your memory card as adoptable storage. Using Sd Card as adopted storage would not let you run out of storage and is future proof as heavy apps moves automatically into adopted storage

Thank you, I hadn't heard of the adopted storage thing, because there's no SD card slot in the Nexus. It's exactly what I needed. I've installed the latest Lineage nightly and its working wonderfully, so far.

To make adoptable storage insert a card into your phone running MM or higher it will ask you if you want to use the SD card as a portable device or Internal. By selecting ‘Internal’ you are now moving to the new Adoptable Storage function and the SD card will be formatted. Make sure you backup your data on card and you must use a high speed(class 10) memory card.
