How many apps in total do you run on your KIW - 5x device ? How to manage the space in it ?
Is the space sufficient in it ? 10Gb ( Both On Stock and Custom ROM's )
Help me to allocate space to RUN apps on huge ? I have my 32Gb Class 10 SD Card.

How sufficient space on this device is, depends only on you and your usage...
For example, in my case: I have 100+ apps (just apps, no games; some of those are realy heavy apps, like Lightroom Mobile or Photoshop Express, or use huge amounts of data - K9 with 5 mail accounts, synced Firefox etc. and have no support for external storage) on my Honor 5X. Around 5GB of internal free atm, but I do have a 64GB SD in place for pictures, music, files, backups, downloads etc. My previous device too was with 16GB total/10GB available internal memory, with 32GB SDcard, it was more than enough for my needs.
I'm always going with SD card for user data and music, and internal for app installs and necessary data. Whenever an app can use external storage (navigation, camera, etc.), I'll configure it that way - maps are usually huge (HERE maps for EU itself are ~20GB, for example; for my region only maps are ~5GB), camera can save on external - safer for you to backup and keep if you're flashing, anyway etc.

I have 50-60 apps installed. 9 of them are games. Not much size but 2K17 is 2.5GB. Internal storage is quite enough for me. I still have 3GB left. For your storage allocations you can use Link2SD. Been using that since Gingerbread days.

1. Whatsapp
2. FB
3. XDA
4. Hike
5. Share It
6. Huawei Wear
7. Amazon

Internal storage is enough for me to have all these.
However I clean my whats app and Hike images and Videos regularly.

I have broken my 8Gb flash 80 G9 and am considering replacing it with the 250Gb HD model (as i can pick one up for a good price)
How much space is there for installing apps on the 250Gb HD model?
I would hope that there is at least the same amount of space in flash memory and the HD is reserved for media content?
"just" 2 go
2Gb is pretty bad.
Hmmm not good!
just for the apk, it is good

And applications that require additional data; for example games or GPS software? Can this extra data be transferred to the HD ?
yes the gps maps are on the HDD, for the game it is the same
Thank you Cajil.
Sorry to keep asking all these questions but I want to make sure I make the right decision :
Does this behaviour of extra data installing to the HD happen automatically or do I need to use something like app2SD to force it to happen?
I don't use app2SD

It's 2GB flash chip, data partition (mmcblk0p4) is 1.5GB. Note that Apps2sd (native) is disabled, I can't say if 3rd party would work or not.
You may try to make an additional empty ext4 image and mount it as /data/app using init.d script
I have an HDD 80g9 and I'ma having serious problems with the app space.
Since I started installing custom roms I don't have a lot of space left.
Just to make an example:my most space consuming apps are: chrome, firefox, angrybirds space, google currents and facebook. All togheter they sum up to 134mb and with all the other small apps I have 350mb of free space left.
The other day I couldn't update angrybirds space because it said I have not enough space. I had to uninstall and then re-install the app from scratch and it worked.
The biggest problem is that I can't install any other game or "big" app like autodesk sketchbook or photoshop because it says so.
If I could go back I would get the 16gb version and maybe buy an extra SD.
btw, apparently there's no way to move apps to the hdd.

This sounds bad.
Seems to me like the 250Gb HD model is crippled.
I want to install lots and lots of apps; ( I could install plenty of apps with my old 8Gb non-turbo) and now it seems that if I buy the 250Gb HD model I can install fewer apps?!?
OR is this only a problem when using custom ROMs? If I use the stock/default Archos ROMs will I still be able to install lots of apps without running out of space?

I was able to install more apps with the unrooted stock rom.
every day I think about going back, but I need the benefits of rooting.
Right now I'm using a backup app to manage the apps I don't use frequently: when I need to use one of those, I backup a game, uninstall it and then restore the backup of the app I need.
It's not an ideal solution, but in the end it only takes a few minutes to do it.
The real problem for me is the lack of support of app2sd or similar. If someone is able to solve that, the tablet would be fine.

-Rooted/custom firmware uses 400MB of /data space (system image is stored in /data/local) so usable /data space in this case is ~1GB (for apps & app+system data)
-Stock rom (thus also custom ones) does not support native Apps2sd because to HDD access times -much slower than flash memory- and power usage
And don't forget that Gen9 was designed primarily as multimedia center
I saw this on another forum. Is this true? It would make it unusable to me, and I just ordered one before seeing this. Do we not have at least 12 GB free for apps?
"..an issue I do not know how to resolve. It comes w 4.3 pre installed but the internal storage is not unified (due to USB storage enabled) so just under 2GB is allocated as app storage. This being the setup on older android version we had the option to move individual apps to the secondary partition b within the app option but this being 4.3 this option does not exist so this really puts a damperbn usability of this device."

If you add what it says is available to the what it says I'm using, it totals 6.81 GB. I doubt that includes system apps, as I said I have a lot installed. I had to keep them all on the phone because the ones I moved to the SD card the widgets didn't load on restart and I wasn't getting notifications.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks!
But 6.81 is pretty bad - some 16gb phones have around 12 gb for apps. What in the world is taking up so much memory? I need to install copilot maps which are over 4 gb plus all the other software I use. Don't know if this is going to work for me. Heck - I have almost 5.52 gb free for apps on a 8gb moto-g phone

Well, screen shots of my internal file system storage. My phone is rooted so I could free up more space deleting some system apps I don't use like Facebook but people had to reinstall the system apps they deleted to get the last update to install, and I don't feel like messing with that. I just disabled them. Can you install your co-pilot apps on the SD card?
Sent from my MT2L03
No, I don't think the maps can be loaded on sd card.
Darn - I purchased without checking this out - figured if my 8 gb phone had 5.52 gb free a 16 gb phone would have around 12. My fault for not doing proper research. Everyone was saying how much they like the phone. and I let that sway me. Guess I will send it back as 6.81 gb free in 2014 is almost $99 phone territory.
Looks like copilot is downloading fine. I'll let you know if I have issues after it completes.
It gives you the option to use extsd as default storage.
You are showing 12.69 GB available internal storage for apps. Is this correct? Or is it the 10.50 that is available to apps?
Yes 12.69 available. But when I go into settings > manage apps it states 5.8gb for apps. I believe it uses internal/external for app data, so I believe you'll be OK
check in the copilot options. maybe it has the ability to choose where to save the map data
NOKIA HERE does ... and its awesome btw
hi,
I'm thinking about buying a note 3 pro and the 16gb / 2gb version is really cheap right now. I think I won't have problems having 2gb ram instead of 3gb, I rarely multitask and most of the time I close programs which I don't use. but I don't know about the 16gb internal space ... seems really little. is there some way to merge internal + sd without android 6.0? or some other way?
Well, I use an application called foldermount it moves heavy game files to SD card.. ROOT REQUIRED.. also try installing aosp ROM it has a lot of bloatware removed so has more internal space available

does foldermount work on any game?
while charging my phone reaches 45 Celsius as given in entering info is it normal?
Foldermount won't help. Only obb to sd xposed module or aosp where you can move every app you want. It's funny because on miui you can't ?
Foldermount can only move big game data files..
Sorry for necroposting but maybe someone still will need the answer, so there it is:
Apps2SD, a brilliant app for doing this job
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd.pro&hl=pl
It also has a free version.
With this you can move .apk files of the games or other apps,
also OBB of big games are movable to the microSD card.
It moves the files to the external microSD card and creates links to the moved content, so the phone
can "think" it's in internal
I'm using this on my Redmi Note 2 and Redmi 3 and the games and apps are working without problems.
But be sure to use a class 10 microSD card, not any lower speed. (And check the condition of your microSD card
before you put it in the phone, for example with free HD Tune on Windows.
You may not want using a card with bad sectors )
Apps2SD it's convenient, reliable when you set it correctly, and it has a nice interface i think.
Not a bloatware and it has some very useful options like partitioning tool, storage info (space) check,
and a backup tool!
Also very good help thread here on XDA
As a 16GB kenzo user, DON'T BUY THE 16GB ONE AND GO FOR THE 32GB VERSION
Here are some of the difficulties:
Google Camera mod: You're gonna definitely use it when you have this device. It doesn't have a save2sd option so you can't shoot videos for long. Add in mind that more ram let's you process hdr+ photos with higher quality. On lower ram devices you have a higher chance of F.C.
Games: You already know.
Multitasking: Definitely 3GB ram is a better choice. I wish I had enough money to buy the 32GB variant. I can't run another app if I'm playing some kind of game. The game automatically closes.
Does the Note 3 Pro allow for app2sd?
Thinking of getting the 16gb model if it is possible. Since the extra gig of ram doesnt really add to much performance.
Also, whats the general consensus in this forum, 2gb or 3gb model? and why?
Thanksss

No
Thinking of getting the 16gb model if it is possible. Since the extra gig of ram doesnt really add to much performance.
It matters a lot while multi-tasking, MIUI is RAM hungry & frequently kills background apps.
Also, whats the general consensus in this forum, 2gb or 3gb model? and why?
I am using the 2GB model, 800MB free RAM & around 10GB storage available on 1st boot. I had to flash custom ROM to get rid of RAM management issues.
If you are a heavy user, use 4-5 apps simultaneously & install a lot of apps get the 3GB else 2GB one will suffice.

Nope, Xiaomi never supported App2SD even after rooting. Its a restriction imposed by MIUI.

whatsapp media direct to SD
here we go maps direct to SD
titanium backup files direct to SD
work fine with games but i dont recomend this.
dont move apps... move apps data only
How can I move some apps to the SD Card?
On the Samsung I moved from, you could move a lot of the apps to the SD Card, which helped with saving space. But on the Sony, none of these same apps show an option to move them to the SD card under the Apps settings.
You have 256gb of internal storage, right?
How could run out of internal storage with an SD card too?
Apps and download folder(and maybe the dcim folder) goes on internal memory.
All critical data goes on the SD card, the data drive.
Otherwise you will cause issues...

You can do this on the older Samsung phones with a lot of the apps. You can move the installation to the SD Card. I had lots that I'd moved on the last Samsung I had, never had any issues.
At the moement, I've used 43GB of internal storage and I haven't finished installing all the apps I use yet, or any games.

You see what's using the space up. Social media apps are malware. If you must you them, sales or banking apps use browser login only through good browser like Brave.
The space they are hogging has better uses...
You can move (moveable) apps to MicroSD Card only if the OEM supports that feature, which is very unlikely for a Samsung or Sony flagship due performance reasons. It requires you to format the MicroSD Card as internal aka Adoptable Storage.
If you don't have this option, you can try from cmd line.
