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?

Hi everyone,
I just did a clean instal of Jellybeans 16 and clicked on SDswap on the stock Beans kernel. Everything seemed to go OK.
Under Total Space it says 64GB (the size of my card) with 40.96GB free
Under SD Card it says total space 10.33GB, and available space is only 306MB
Now it's telling me I don't have enough storage space and in my notification bar it says storage space is running out.
I installed some applications but they should have installed to the card, and their data too, right? Why am I encountering this error and how do I get it to work properly?
Thanks!
Thank God someone else is having this problem. I couldn't figure it out myself, looks good under settings and storage but doesn't seem to be doing its job.

Try deleting the Android folder under both SD card and extSDcard and rebooting.

could you tell me how to wipe the install partition? im having the same problem
I think it was format internal partition. I had the ROM saved on my SD card.
Also take a look at this thread.

Store/install the Games/apps files on the larger part of the memory (IE. SD Card) and have them run from that location.
I know the system apps can't be moved but almost any game or app can be.
I was once able to move them freely but I screwed up my phone and ended up whipping it and starting from scratch. :crying:

Dude... The whole purpose of people moving apps from internal phone storage to an SD Card is to free up space on the internal storage... by moving them to an EXTERNAL SD card (ie removable)
Since these phones don't have an external SD, all you're doing is moving your apps from internal storage to (drum roll please...) Internal Storage!!!
So basically... you're moving an app from the "Program Folders" area to... well... anywhere BUT that folder, but keeping it on the same hard drive. Make sense?

Apparently I am not getting my point across this is the HTC One X+ section right...
There are two sections on the solid state "hard drive" one is referred to as the SD Card which is allocated 50+ gigs the other section is system storage which is only allocated 2+/- Gigs.
Now I want games/apps to install to the SD card section not the system section which it dose by default.
I know this can be done as I mentioned previously I had it configured to do this but I can't remember how nor can I find anything (apps/tutorials) that will get me back to said configuration.
I hope this is a bit clearer.

No mate it doesn't. Unless your rooted you don't even have write access to /system/.
All apps and data will go on the /data/ partition. The "mock" SD card is located in /data/media/ or /data/media/0 which is just a folder on the main /data/ partition.

Try going to /data/apps/ and checking if you will find white files that end with .odex
Apps that have that will most probably be the ones affected by that error. The .odex file is created if you have "lucky patcher" installed . If you do not have this app or haven't found any odex files then ignore what I just said.
ANY apps literally ANY apps? Going to Settings > Storage , are you sure its not filled?

Try to wipe all including the data and do factory reset.You are using TWRP right? then goto advance sideload and then adb sideload the rom which u want ... from command prompt.. what you are saying is really not possible....may be you did mess up ur partition since we dont have any physical SD card slot there is just plain 64GB of which 51~55 is usable....Goodluck

I removed the two odex files I found but yet again it made no difference.
I have over 50gigs of free space.
When I screwd up my phone I did a factory wipe and even relocked then unlocked the boot loader literally started from scratch so there should be no issues.

If you asked me its a faulty rom that have no management over app installation. If its a stock rom then yeah factory reset is required.. But its a strange issue nontheless. So its fixed now when doing factory wipe?

when I did the wipe I cleared everything and went back to the Tellus stock RUU (lost all my pictures in the processes dam dropbox) and started over from there.
the first time I changed to the ViperXL+ OS I had the same issue unfortunately I can't remember how I managed to fix it I thought I used Rom Toolbox to set where apps/games installed by default but it says I have to be updated to 2.2+ and I'm only on 2.0.0
So I'm feeling like quit the Dumb A$$ I figured it out after my last post all I had to do in Rom Toolbox is change it from SD card as primary to internal storage as primary and now I can update/Install more apps
Thanks for the help
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!!

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?

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).

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?
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.

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 dudes
So I was wondering if there's a way to increase internal storage on this device
Because well nowadays 4Gb of available memory is.. Well.. Too short
So I heard of the partition table tool, but when I tried It show "parted not found" so I couldn't do anything (Sorry I'm a real noob in this domain)
Note : I'm on RR nougat
And what do you think about adoptable storage with a sd card ? Will it slow my device down ?
Thank you for your help

In order to partition through adb you need twrp 2.8.7.0. It has parted. Just follow the instructions of page 1 of this thread (h)ttps://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/d620-partition-table-tool-t3107664/page1. And make sure to reboot recovery and then format data and cache partitions. You can have up to 6gb of free data, you will need to use the 5.2 gb data in order for rr nougat to work.
Okay... I just tried, but what I was afraid of just happened, I can't access to the recovery (stuck in Twrp logo) and I can't move any app to the sd card, an "insufficient space" error showed up

However, if you disconnect it from android settings or power off the phone, before removing it, then you are safe.

With adaptable storage, the SD gets encrypted.
In order to able to use it on anything else than the phone, you will need to format it. Use a PC or a recovery that boots.
