Hi guys
Can someone make an app or suggest that can monitor the activity done by apps, etc. ( such as copy, paste etc.) Would be useful if it had ability to block,prompt,allow these activities
The problem is I have a rooted device and my system partition has 140-200 MB free space. But replacing those system apps by editing their icons wont increase their size. But still the empty spaces are used up even if I replace them. Within one or 2 days the free space there gets low to 2 MB.
Now I am stuck while I tried one incompatible port of incallUI, cant paste the stock one though I have deleted the incompatible one.
I am using some root apps and wants to know if they are doing it.
Please help

I would like to go through and completely clean out my phones storage. By that I mean deleting all the old files that uninstalled apps created, empty folders, and other things that most ROMs don't bother to remove. I realize that it isn't really necessary, and why ROM makers don't really do it. I just feel compelled to do it.
For example;
At root there is the DATA folder but also a DATA_1, DATA_2, and DATA_3 folder that are just empty. Are these folders necessary? If I were to delete them and some system process needed them would they just be recreated? There are a ton of other empty folders throughout the file system that I would love to just delete.
Speaking of the DATA folder, it contains a DATA folder... It's great that all these ROMs remove the bloatware but within this secondary DATA folder sits old files related to these removed apps. Can't these be safely deleted?
The default wallpaper is easy enough to find and delete, but where are the other wallpapers that come preloaded? Seems to me like there may be a ton of little files out there that could be deleted to add up to a decent amount of space.
I supposed what I am really asking is what the best resources out there are for determining what's really necessary and what's deletable. Googling random file names only gets you so far. Heh. Maybe I should just flash a ROM and forget it, but I am just too OCD!
Delete what you will. Anything needed will be recreated. Some apps might store stuff there, but all core system data is stored on the data partition.

/data/data is a valid partition. Also, you aren't gaining anything by deleting the stock wallpapers, etc except space that you cannot use- they lie on a reserved partition that is a set size.

For anyone who likes as light as possible: you can go into system/vendor/srec and clear out anything past 1mb. Also, you can delete system/usr/folder that contains face unlock information. Mine was named PittPat for whatever reason. Also, system/usr/icu/dat is another useless 8mb. I deleted 50 mb of system data that way... Faster backups, more space for your device.
You can use adb u to see what in your system is huge and go after it. That's how I found this neat little trick.
My backups went about 20 seconds faster. I'm the type of person to slim down as much as possible. one This depends on data, etc, but my cm 10.1 system size is 235 mb... If anyone would like info on system apps you can delete, let me know. I use no bloat pro. It remembers your settings and you can just click delete.
I'm the type of person to get rid of everything I don't use. Vpn dialogs? Pico tts? One time in it? Gone!
When I got my new SGS4Z I had at least about 2 Gb free storage.
I got a 64 Gb memory card, and was very careful not to install apps I didn't really need.
I used the micro SD card as much as I could (like for the camera), kept deleting SMS- MMS- and whatsapp messages I didn't need any more.
Nevertheless: my free storage of the Phone has gone below 1 Gb now.
I have the feeling that all sorts of unwanted data are accumulating. How can I get rid of them ?
Any help very much appreciated.
Oh, and yesterday I discovered that there is a log of Phone calls with entries all the way from the beginning.
The way to delete them seems pretty primitive: either one by one, or all of them at once.
Nothing like only for a specified number, or date range, or something like that ?
I found Dropbox sync on the cloud settings was downloading all the time filling up the storage on the phone. Disabled it and freed up 1.5Gb

If yu have root you can uninstall some of Samsung (or Google) Application that are taking up space.
with or without root you can even try also with "memory option" via settings menu (for example deleting .SMT content folder or others folders and contents that are useless for you).
The desire x is my business mobile, so i dont want to mess with it in case any problems and i get charged for the phone. to be honest i struggle, its terrible device compared to my personal phone.
I need maps to navigate around, the connection in London drops when im close to destination, i blame this on the tall buildings blocking signal but not sure if 100% the reason. i was told may help to download a map program and use this way, but there is no storage free, and i have only 2 small apps required for work.
Is there a way to delete apps like chrome and facebook / twitter which came pre-installed but i cant remove them.
I tried adding a sd card but it wont allow me to move apsp to sd card. ( so failing the deletion of apps, can i roll back the rom to a older version?
pretty weird that the data partition is full, when there are only 2 apps installed.
are you storing all your company-mail on your phone or something like that??
whatever, as first step you can try to locate the storage-hog by using a storage analyser like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobile_infographics_tools.mydrive&hl=de
i have downlaoded the program but not sure what i am lookign for?
can i remove the android APK files? surely once program isntalled i no longer need these?
A takes 591mb
O takes 127mb
App storage is taking 2.51Gb of 2.91 available.
Apps = 704Mb
other = 1.82Mb
Available - 408Mb but when i download the map program it requires me to download a large file for offline maps. plus i have this space as i deleted a few photos which were for work but old. so when i take photos this space decreases further.
the only apps i can uninstall are the two apps (about 40Mb each for work, plus i have pocket locker and now this analyser which have small footprints).
I noticed a very troublesome problem in Android. First to say that my phone is Galaxy S6 (6.0.1), but the problem is the same for all devices I'm sure.
It's about memory usage, and the problem is that every time when you upload larger files to your phone they occupy almost double space, becouse filling so called by the built-in Smart Manager "Other" files.
This "Оther" takes a significant area of free user memory and unfortunately the system is not possible to trace where and what are these files.
Does someone know where this mystical "Оther" files are stored, because I want to delete them?
