I have a Kenzo, 16GB + 2GB RAM variant.
While using ES File Explorer, it showed that I have a total of 10.26 GB internal memory, so where did the remaining 5-6 GB went ?
Maybe this is a noob question but I am worried about this

It's occupied by MIUI 8 operating system.. So the user available space is only 10.26gb.

I have installed CM14.1 + Radon 3.0.1 with clean flash
Will this issue still persist ?
You won't see a full 16GB for your use, if that's what you're thinking. Some has to be for the OS. I think with CM14, you end up with a maybe 11-12GB free, but your OS and other apps have to take up some space.
Simple solution, buy a SD card and use it as a internal storage, but be aware that the (un)official CM 14.1 by TheStrix has currently a bug with this feature

Hi all,
I've just received my HTC desire x, checking the specs there is written
that the internal memory should be 4GB, but I have just 1GB.
the total space shows 1.09 GB (screenshot attached)
on the HTC website there's written
Total storage: 4 GB, available capacity varies*
and then *Available storage is less due to phone software.
Is it possible that the OS takes 3GB? Seems a bit too much for me...
Any idea?
Thanks all in advance

This is correct man. There is no issue or problem. The system takes ~3gb. Cos imagine when you are factory resetting your phone. The original OS file (called ROM) will reside in that memory with a whole lot of other backup stuff which you cant access.
This is why ppl use CUSTOM ROMS, cos we remove bloatware and other things.
What you see in that screenshot is same as mine and as other. Just buy an external card and it will rock
and please go to about > software update > PRESS CHECK NOW even though "Scheduled Check" is ticked cos there are updates and possibly u have one waiting also.

^ +1.
anyway i cant see why 1gb isnt enough for apps and games. if you have a sd card, it will be more than enough because of the ability to move apps to sd.

Thanks man all doubts vanished now,
does it mean that once rooted (I haven't seen any good rom around yet, please advise if you know any)
I can partition the internal memory? Or it's better not to partition anything for a smoother and faster phone?
Thanks again
Yes 4GB in these mount points:
dev - 303MB
cache - 251MB
data 1,1GB
internal memory (emmc) - 1,1GB
system/942MB
Plus a few more like radio boot and / mount point. It's up around 4GB.
i think you want this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
with that app. you will no longer have to worry about low internal storage again. i use that all the time on my previous phone who has low internal memory (400mb below). but with des x i dont need it. 1gb internal memory are a lot!

Is it possible to reformat partitions? Why not to have internal memory (emmc) - 1,1GB and system/942MB merged? I'm not using emmc, cuz I have SDCard for all my stuff, so 1,1 Gb are empty, but I have insufficient space on system.
I have a Moto E with cynogenmod 14.1 Nightly Latest Installed.
Most of the RAM is used in Nougat 7.1.1
I have a 64 GB SD Card.
Is there any way I can create 2 Partitions, 1 for additional RAM, 2nd for Internal Storage for installation of big apps.
I have searched the forum too but didnt find the answer.
Sorry for bothering.
& Thank you for answering.

Try this
http://technofizi.net/how-to-increase-ram-in-android-mobile-phone-using-sd-card/
Bro RAM has very little effect on performance, it is the processor which decide the performance. And u cannot change the processor so either u buy a new device or be satisfied with the phone.
I don't think you could.
Because android would format and encrypt the whole sdcard when you use it as adoptable storage.
Maybe you could use file-based swap instead of partition. I never tried it though...
After installing Lineage Os the System takes 36 GB of the internal Storage. Does Anybody have this Problem or better a solution to fix it?

It's a known bug in all Los based rooms, the amount of space shown taken up is incorrect. You should have noticed that when it says system is using 36GB on a 32GB phone lol. Instead of showing true system space used it shows total space used on phone memory (internal memory) plus what's used on your ext SD card. Mine shows 96GB used for system, so don't pay attention to it. Los actually only uses about 1GB of space. If you want get a root file browser and check for yourself
THX jeffsga88, didn't know this Bug, but that explains everything. :good:
Do you guys think that the Low Internal Storage, Partition Size and Storage is a problem for Moto E? I feel it is, when flashing ROMs and when it starts to get laggy due to the new ROMs.
What about you guys?

Yes Condor have 4gb internal storage, but 2gb usable, after flashing custom ROM we have 1.8 to 1.6gb free space (depending upon your ROM size, i.e stock rom is 500mb, gives 1.7gb free internal storage, but custom ROM is 200mb gives 1.8gb free internal storage)
Then installing WhatsApp, telegram, hike, + WhatsApp images, videos, etc
Finally we get storage full notification in status bar:silly:
Using SD as internal gives lags and poor battery backup

Custom ROMs with Gapps, the new ones takes 500mb+ of data. Installing 5 to 6 apps easily takes up storage.
How would you go about maximizing your space for apps? Any recommendations for a ROM, or how to go about shrinking one? I would love to be on 7.x, but if I could get a nice tiny optimized ROM I'd have to go with that.
A lot of my issues with my phone stem from lack of space.
The custom roms are not smooth at all. Going back to stock is quite a long procedure. I'm just waiting for someone to release a completely naked Aosp rom like most devices have.
Hi there,
I'm sticking with the oos rom...works ok no issues and no big needs for ultra customization.
but.
16Gb are not nough and since I dont' want to sacrifice apps, I'm looking for the rom that need less space on the internal memory...to free some space once installed...
are all the rom made equal?
Tnx guys!

It doesn't really make a difference. Get a micro SD card and use it to expand your storage.
I know I can use an SD and I do use an SD but actually on the internal memory there are 7gb of apps 3,26gb of other and less than 1gb of images, video audio and cache data.
the apps installed are not apps that I can move on the sd.

Well, what you bought is what you got.
Opx has only 16Gb int. memory which only left available less than 12Gb.
Doesn't matter if you flash N custom ROMs, it only has slightly different size (without inbuilt Gapps package). If you're so curious then go for stock AOSP/Pure Nexus ROMs which only has stock/less features.
Weird to me, what kind of apps/games installed on yours so your lack of memory? (seemed so).
I've 70 apps installed with only 1 game, and i still have plenty of memory left.
*If you're on rooted device then just delete any unwanted system apps/services using ES file explorer or kinda. Although that only free small amount of sizes in system memory.
So the trick is: Do not install way too many apps/games that eats memory a lot.

Get one of the nougat ROMs(I highly recommend Paranoid Android), format your SD card as internal storage and you won't have to worry about filling your internal storage up.

Hi Pune, did you try this approach? have you hever noticed any problem( slow down glitch anything) using apps from sd?
I'm really happy with my onyx, the only downside is the free memory....

You can root your OOS > remove all the bloat ( saves approx. 400MB) unroot ( if your not into having your device rooted) and perhaps move those image/video files to exSD.
Flashing a custom rom will probably save you 500 MB including gapps.
The smallest ROM right now would be AOSP-CAF
If you ask smallest rom in size it would be Slimrom, but it doesn't matter, since rom along with all system apps installed on system partition, system partition taking space from internal storage, IINM onyx has fixed 2 gb system partition built in...
Your only option is root your device, bought a micro sdcard and use apps called app2sd, link2sd or foldermount or some apps similar like that.

No I've not had any noticeable performance slow downs when using the SD card. However, do find a reliable ROM that does not have bugs when doing so. For that I'd recommend PureNexus despite the fact that it hasn't been updated for a while. It has been the stablest ROM I've seen so far with Onyx.
The size of the ROM doesn't matter. The device has a separate partition for it anyway. You could have a 600mb ROM and it would be no more intrusive than a ROM that's 300mb.
Another thing, using a ROM with more features does not mean you will suffer from a performance deficit. Enabling some of these features could however have an impact on battery life.
If the features themselves do have a performance impact then I think the ROM team needs to question why they implemented it in the first place.
At the end of the day, they all use the same partition so there's no use in worrying about it

Use Modded OOS, in that way you have both the original OOS with all the extra things removed by default and you would've 6-7 GB free space available on your internal memory. I am also using it. Give it a try
you should move to a custom ROM. They are very good and will save you many GBs of storage and RAM
