Hi there.
I've recently installed a custom rom (venom Rom). And after the install I've noticed my internal memory available space got low. I dont know if this is normal. Maybe my old stock Rom is still on my internal? I've only wiped cache and factory resettled my phone before the installation of the custom firmware.
My media files are minimal and the "other" type eating up my memory has 8gig.
What can I do to regain my full internal memory.
Thank you xda dev.
What ROM did you come from? Were you stock?

Reason I ask is if you upgrade from a 4.1.1 rom to a 4.2.2 rom or 4.3 rom your storage changes from sdcard0 to something else. Android adds another directory so a lot of your data is duplicated. There are LOTS of threads discussing this issue so you will likely find your answer easily.

came from stock. 4.1.1 then tried the previous venom rom (4.1.2 i think), and then installed the new venom rom, 4.2.2, then tried again NOS rom, then recovered my previous 4.2.2. .

Use the link he gave you. Basically delete most of the contents that are in the data/media folder for apps and games and stuff like that.

Hello XDA-DEV community.
First off, as you can tell from my join date, I am a newbie to android devices, but I am experienced in flashing and installing ROMs for my friends. There are a few questions I want to ask and hope it will be answered.
1. I am using LENOVO A516 phone, as far as I know this phone is made in china and there is no custom rom on this forum (yet, maybe?) I even tried to search my device on the "type to find your device" box and my phone model is not listed.
2. I understand that this phone uses a MTK65xx bootloader, so if there is a rom for another phone that uses the same bootloader, will my device be flashable with the rom?
3. Is there anyway I can make my own custom rom for my phone? I'm thinking of making a custom KitKat rom for this phone as Lenovo does not provide firmware upgrades.
Thank you very much to anyone that is willing to answer these questions. I am irritated by the lack of customer support Lenovo has, hence the decision to make my custom rom.

Hi there. Any comments on A516 especially regarding its small amount of RAM. Is it okay and running smooth? I'm asking because two of my friends want to get this model and they are asking for my advice on that.
Thank you in advance.

Hey guys how to root this phone
lenovo a516 not working
Hi . I have a huge prob...My phone is not working.
I just wanted to change my launcher from kit lat launcher (from google play) to othe original lenovo launcher installed in the phone...
Then a dialog box appeared: "lenovo.ideapad is not responding"
I hit ok but the still got the same error .
I turned it off. When it powers on, it is just stuck with the boot logo.. I can only see the animation logo of lenovo...
All I can access is meta mode which is all in "Chinese" so I can't understand a thing.
I have no idea how this happened all of a sudden.
Can I still restore it?
Please help.

I think its not possible to transfer app to sd with this kind of ROM ("app2sd not supported" this notification will pop up if u try to transfer app+data to sd card. I experienced this many times when i try installing app2sd etc.. i do experiment with a lot of app in appstore but nothing works)
BUT then after i flash my phone to a custom ROM (allegro ROM) my problem solved even the app storage thing?the primary storage before is phone. NOW it will become ur SD card is primary storage. i hope i can help u as much as possible. the reason im doing this comment is because at first im so regretful buying this phone. it has too many problems haha (in my opinion) anyway .. just pm me or reply on this comment i'll try my best to help u too. p.s RAM problem also solved.

Why do you think using a lot of ram is a bad thing? There's a saying used frequently and it's that unused ram is wasted ram.
