[NEED MORE TESTING]One Possible Way to Solve SD Card Space Loosing Problem

NOTICE:
THIS IS ONLY MY RESULT, AND THIS IS THE POSSIBLE WAY TO SOLVE IT. IT DOESN'T MEAN IT CAN WORK PROPERLY ON YOUR PHONE!
Sorry for poor English
S1:
1.Using USB Cable connect your phone and the computer
2.Choose Disk Drive Mode
3.Copy all the files in the SD Card to your computer
4.On the computer, format HTC STORAGE. Name: HTC STORAGE, File system: FAT32, Cluster: If you wanna better speed, choose 32k or 64k, if you wanna store more files, choose 4k
5.Copy your files back to HTC STORAGE
6.Extract your current rom's zip file.
7.Found a new folder under /system named "lost+found"
8.Pack all the files to zip, copy it to SD Card and flash it.
S2:
Just delete "lost+found" folder under /system and then format your sd card
And for Developers, try to add "lost+found" folder under /system to your rom and test whether it will eat free space or not.
As for me, adding "lost+found" folder in the rom and removing it won't let your free space loose again.
I have copied rom.zip(about 500MB) four times and reboot my phone several times. My free space didn't loose
Trust me
And here is the result.

You mean after doing this, no matter how many times you try the lost space will not happen again?

At least for me. I'm not sure whether it can work properly on other phones.

Could you not just make the folder and reboot?
:edit: lost+found is already in my system folder but I've only lost 1gb due to system files and that it not increasing.

Original lost+found is created by system and it will eat your free space. You can also delete it and free spaces won't loose any more.

give this a try in the afternoon... will report if it work... thanks for your effort... this "bug" is kind of annoying...

delete "lost and found" Folder under /system
Format SD-Card FAT32-32k
copy files back to SD-Card
then reboot the Phone
Copy a 1,2 GB Movie File to SD
Reboot the Phone (save remove SD)
Thanks jerrylzy it seems to work!

Just used ES File explorer to delete the lost + found folder, but had to tick a couple of boxes first to enable it to do that, namely "Root Explorer" and "Mount file system" in settings.
Can't see similar options in Astro, download ES and give it a go.

ok thanks...xD Try and report !

I think you can just delete that folder and then format sd card

thats my problem... i cant delete it...xD

using diskuseage from play on my SD i scanned my SD and there is a section called "system data" which starts off at 1024 MB (i formatted from inside the phone to start the test), its this section on the SD that goes up in size on my phone.
i deleted lost+found from my /system and restarted i then mounted my phone to the PC formatted and copied my files to my SD i then unmounted the USB using the phone (no safe remove from PC) and "system data" is now gone.
I then restarted my phone just to check and it's still not there
I will keep scanning it from time to time and report back so far so good no lost space.

Deleted 3Gb of films, copied everything over on to my comp.
Deleted lost+found
Before format
Format FAT32, 32k, added back 3Gb of films that were taken off, reboot into recovery, mount sd card
After:

guys i got another solution working fine to me:
backup your data on sdcard
format your sdcard with 16kb cluster size
copy your data back and do stuff like flashing a rom and see if the problem is solved.
you do this because the sdcard was with 32kb cluster initially(for those which are not with 32kb, this solution may not work). and normally it should be 16kb by a 32gb storage. so maybe you can also give it a shot. goodluck! btw i found this on One X Q&A thread.

[How-to] Disable OTA updates on Stock + Rooted ROMs

I see this question come up once in a while here, and I had a similar thread on the ET4G about this so I thought I'd recreate it here for you S3 folks. I recently flashed to LJ7 to do some testing and while there was getting bugged by the OTA update, so I tried this method out and confirmed it does work on the S3 as well.
[How-to] Disable OTA updates on Stock + Rooted ROMs
1. Download FOTAKill.apk* and copy to your Phone/SD
2. Use a root explorer (such as ES Explorer) to copy the file to /system/app
3. If the update already downloaded, use your root explorer to delete it from /cache
4. reboot
If the update notice is still in the notification bar after the reboot, simply swipe it away. That should be the last time you are ever prompted to update via OTA. Even if you manually go to system update and click check now it will no longer offer you the OTA. You can simply delete the apk from /system/app to reverse this mod.
*Credit for the apk goes to the CM team and or the folks who create the gapps packages!
*If anyone would like to make a CWM flashable I would be happy to add it here and give you credit.

CNexus created a really good sticky guide to talk about OTAs. You might want to post this over there. Could you let us know what FOTAKill does? Does it work regardless of phone/carrier?

I expect it will work on other carriers/phones but only speak for devices I personally test it on.
The apk works by overriding the built in android OTA service. It has traditionally been included in Gapps packages as a way to disable carrier updates on AOSP roms but works just as well on stock based roms.

You need to mount /system as RW
If your file manager does not give you the option to do so, go into a terminal and type the following:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
The app needs to installed as a system app, if you simply install it by selecting it, it will be installed as a user app. Uninstall, mount system as ready write, and copy it to /system/app

That's correct, if you just click it and install like a normal app it won't work because it needs to be installed as a system app.

Woohoo, it's been 4 hours or so and no notification, thank you thank you thank you.

Ok so I took a look inside the apk and heres how it works
App gets triggered when: Google Services state is changed; Android device checks in the the Google servers; and when Android device finishes booting (BOOT_COMPLETE)
If there is, it gets the info from the Google Services Framework intent (url, time, etc), logs it, and then cancels the notification
Sets the link to be empty (" ") and overrides the GSF notification, and then clears the notification
Removes the notification and OTA data from the Google Services Framework database
Attached is a universal flashable (meaning, for any Android device) that puts FOTAKill.apk into your /system/app.
EDIT: File pulled for the moment...

This is great, I am standing by. Since I did it the other way should I redo it this way? (I would guess no) Also I was going to ask if it worked for my wife's E4GT but sounds like this new one you are making will. TIA

The file itself will work on ANY phone because it blocks the GSF app. I would recommend just using a root browser to put it in /system/app for the moment, i pulled the file because it somehow wiped my entire /system partition (yeah, i dont know either) so i didnt want anyone else to have issues.
And no, you dont need to redo it with the zip im making, it wont change anything.
Also, im not modifying the file in any way, I'm just making a zip that will flash it on any device.

This definitely works on the ET4G, I had that phone before the S3 and used it to stay on a GB rom for a long time.

Hi,
Would anyone know if the FOTAKill.apk procedure works on a Galaxy S3 flashed to Boost or would that not make a difference?

Thanks. A friend had mentioned to me he read about freezing SDM 1.0 but I don't have that file and wasn't sure if it was related to being flashed to Boost. I searched and came across your post but wasn't sure if I would run into a similar type issue. Will give it a try and fingers crossed it works!

[Q] How to remove protected file?

I installed a zip enabling custom boot animation, played with it and then installed a zip that removes the option. Now when i go to my internal SD card, i see a folder "anbech" with 1 file in it. I tried deleting it in the stock file manager, root explorer, and on my pc. It will not go away. I cant change it permission and when i edit the file name or script, it always changes back to how it was before. Can anyone help me to delete it? Doing a factory reset didn't remove it.

If you use TWRP v2.5.0.0, there is a file manager which you can use to delete the file. Since you're in recovery, Android isn't using the file. I pointed this out to people wanting to delete the Morphology folder, which has also has proven difficult to delete otherwise.
Hope this helps.

I'm not really sure, to be honest. I haven't used CWM regularly since my OG Evo. Play around in the settings and see if they have a file manager.
If that doesn't work and you don't mind spending an extra 20 minutes on it, you can always install TWRP then re-flash CWM. It's easy to do with the flashable zips from Naddict. All you have to do is boot into recovery, flash the TWRP zip, delete the file, then flash the CWM zip. It should take less than 10 minutes, but let's be conservative in our estimate and say 20 minutes.

With the Aroma file manager, you actually aren't installing anything. You're just running the software on your phone without accessing the Android operating system. Once you reboot your phone it'll go back to your normal operating system. It's actually really nifty and I'm going to keep it on my sd card like CNexus said.

Cant see old files after flashing to 4.3 after 4.1

Im sure this has come up a few times but I cannot find the answer...I went from 4.1.2 mc2 to 4.3 and everything is running smooth as butter, but my files such as music and even the newest rom zip is still on my internal storage taking up so much space but I cannot see them through es file explorer or through my pc to delete them and free up space. When I flashed, I wiped cache, dalvic, factory reset then formatted system data and cache in that order, 3 times each and that's how ive always done it. I restored my backup of 4.1.2 (which after the fact I read that's the ultimate no no) but all files are there and the phone worked like it always had. I did flash 4.3 again and im still running it with no issues but I can't figure out how to see my old files from 4.1.2...any insight on this would be greatly appreciated!!! GO BRONCOS!!!

Your older files from 4.1.2 are stored in the /data/media folder. Newer Android versions now store internal data on /data/media/0. Use a file explorer with root permission features like Root Explorer to find and copy those files.

Hi guys
i have an issue where i have files on internal sdcard that are only visible in cwm. Any file explorer i use only shows sdcard/0 . These locations arent mirrored and the only way i am able to see the files is cmw. I have had this problem before and i found a script on xda some where that made it visible to my root explorer, howevr i cant seem to find this script again anywhere.
Does anybody know of the said script or have any suggestions as i want to free up this storage (300mb)
Thanks in advance

i don't understand your problem cause you stated its "sd card" and by that i thought you meant external memory but you listed saying it's phone memory?So you can't access your phone memory to delete files off it?Which ROM are you running? And have you mounted your system correctly if you're using es file explorer?

I'm using resurrection ROM. I don't know how else I can mount it with a file explorer?. I simply cannot get to that location in any explorer.

Check for your content in 'sdcard/0/' directory.

These are the options I can get to.
If I select sdcard/0 it takes me too sdcard/emulated/0 as shown below.
In cwm if select install from internal sdcard the files I am trying to get to to delete are visible. But all my files on my device are in the 0 folder which is all I can get to on my device. Its like I need to go up another level but cant.

sdcard0 and sdcard0/emulated/0 are same, try it by moving your files outside from 0 folder to sdcard0/ if you got loop folder means '0/0/0'. First verify you've given root access to ES File Exp (From side pane >> root explorer). And if still didn't unable to move goto root directory '/' there you'll find 'sdcard0' directory, give a try with that.

This has happened to me before. Usually it's because of a bad backup due to lack of storage. What I did was delete the failed back up in CWM and you'll get the space back. For some reason, if you're backing up your phone on the internal SD, CWM will save it in some folder that's only accessible to CWM in recovery mode. Hope that helps.
