Hello, I have a problem with my Nubia z5s mini. I have a ROM in which I just have 2GB for installing apps. Anybody knows any ROM with more space for apps or any way to change this space? Because the phone has 16GB ROM and now I have just 2GB for apps and it is not enough for me. I know I can move apps to SD card but it's not enough.
Thank you!!
If you are able to root the phone you may not need another ROM.

Yes, the phone is already rooted but I don't know if I can change the space for apps.
Okay, you have a number of options now to be able to free space. First, where did you get the 16GB number from?

From the phone specs
Oh I understood it as you had a ROM that took up 16 GB space, but in reality you have a total of 16 GB space on your phone?

I have 2 partitions: one of 10 GB and another one of 2 GB (devoted to install apps). Then, I can´t install more than 2GB in apps
Hmm that sounds odd. What's the 10GB version called?

Do you mean the name of the ROM? it is CyanogenMod 12.1 11th August 2015, android 5.1.1
Both partitions of storage are internal storage. Apart from that, I have a micro SD card.
I was thinking what the 10gb partition is called?

¨Internal Storage¨, the same as the 2GB partition.
Anybody knows something?
Interesting that the system partition is that big. Anyway, download the app DiskUsage and figure out what's taking most space in the /media/Android/data folder. (And other places too).

Do you know how to change it to make the device install the apps in the 10GB partition?

Wait, didn't you say that the 10GB partition was the system partition? Or am I understanding it wrong?
Internal storage
I have this problem too, i don't want sd card (grow) partition in internal storage, is there any way to increase the volume of data partition?

Why does my i777 show two partitions a 2gb and 12 GB? All my apps are installing to the 2 Gb partition and it looks like I reached my limit? Did I make a partition by accident in kernel settings? Can I revert back?

USB storage is partitioned that way by default on our phones.

That's weird because on my nexus 4 I have one partition and I can use it to install apps and use it for what ever else I need. So when I fill up those 2 GB with apps I can't do anything else to install more?

By default, apps install on the 2gb partition. If there is separate data that needs to be downloaded (like for games), it will install on the 12gb partition. If you're running out of room, go to the app manager and move some apps to the "sd card" (which is actually the 12gb partition, not your external sd card).
Hi there,
I was wondering if somebody could answer, why the App Storage for the Desire X is limited to 2.9 GB. Apparently some apps can no lobger be Moved and I currently seem to have only 18 MB free. An installation of an update of Facebook (19 MB) or Chrome (36 MB) often fail unless I have cleared all the cahces.
Can somebody tell me how to increase this space? I have used cache Cleaner to Move all apps to sd card that were possible to move.
Maybe sb. has some ideas.
Thanks
Andy
You can install a micro SD card and move a few apps to SD if possible. If that's not enough, root your phone, partition your sd card so it has an ext4 partition and install Link2SD from Google Play. Then, you can move any apps to your sd card.

How can i install a micro SD card???:good:
i can insert one though
I think I moved all the Apps I can and I don't think rooting will do the trick.
Under AppStorage in Settings I used up 2.73 GB / 2.90 GB
Apps 0.91 GB
Other 1.81 GB
I am stumbling over the Other category.
I recently found out that my camera actually saved to phone memory and not to my sd card. I changed it now and actually moved the files.
But why is other so high here? If Apps only take up 0.91 GB that would be fine.
Did your clear the apps caches? Maybe it helps.

Hi dansou,
I did. I do that with CleanMaster. It is usually the only way to install an update to Facebook or Chrome.
Does anybody els know, how to get rid of this ridiculously high numbe under "Other"?
Anybody else have some tips on how to ghet rid of all this dats in Other?
What is in that anyway? It's not apps, is it?

Thanks for the advice. I installed it, but I don't really now what I'm looking at, or what I should be looking for.
I'll try wiping my phone completely soon, and reinstalling everything. Right now it has errors often stating I don't have enough space.
It says i need 524mb free storage to update it, i have 650mb and i still get this error
can someone help me please?
Where do you have 650mb free - on internal storage or sd card?

internal storage.
And how much free space do you have on your sd card?

From my experience i can tell you that 650mb is not enough for the update. You need around 250mb just for the system to work properly. I could not even install any apps if i had less then aprox. 250mb, beacuse it was asking me to free more space, so i could install something. So i think you need more than 650. Free up more space. Try to uninstall a few apps, until you have around 800-900mb free space, than try to update and if you manage to do it, than just install again the apps you removed before.
"650 MB free storage for update" means you need 850 MB free storage for phone to operate.
is the marshmallow update out?

Nope.
I've got the latest version of TWRP and trying to make a backup. It says there's not enough room. I have the SD card selected and it has 7 free GB of space. 13.3GB of internal storage is used. Is there no compression? This was working fine until I upgraded to Marshmallow.
Also I'm a bit surprised to see internal storage so full, I just installed Marshmallow.

Which partition(s) did you wish to back up?

That's a good question. I guess all of them but the cache? How do I decide which need to be backed up if the goal is to be able to restore from a damaged device?

Usually /system, /data, and /boot. And these partition usually exceed 7GB, which in your case 13GB. That means your SD card is too small to handle the backup.

Hi,
I have an Xperia X F5122 which comes with 64GB storage, when I installed the stock ROM last time I skipped the Welcome/Startup wizard, so I got stuck with 32GB of storage.
The storage app in settings shows that I have 64GB, but system is allocating around ~48GB of them, so it is as if I have a 32GB phone.
So how do I retain that storage and get my lost space? Is there some sort of a file in root directory which I can delete or something? Or some sort of config file? Or maybe it is just partitioning? And if so, how do I do that?
