Where is my storage space?

So I flashed 4.1.1 jelly bean and I was checking my storage and this is what I got!! What's wrong with my storage?

I recognise that. I had the same problem, but you just have to wait. There is a tab that is called misc. That show up after a while, there is probably your storage disappearing.

your available storage space is 4.33G, what is the problem?

While it was "Calculating" there is an item called "Misc", and it disappears after calculating is done. I think maybe it's your nandroid backups, Titanium backups, or some other files. I suggest you to adb shell into your device and use "busybox du -sd1" to see which directory takes most space.

I don't have titanium backup or anything. My phone isn't even rooted. Did any of you guys find a solution to this problem?
What is a nandroid backup anyway?

use a free google play market app called DiskUsage to find exacty whats taking up your storage..

Thanks man. That worked, it shows that I have my old apps (Shadow gun, max Payne etc) still stored. Is it safe to just delete them using the app you recommended since it gives me the option to?

yea, thats what i normally do when i find something taking space that i dont want. its usually app data from a deleted app that takes up the missing space(for me).

ASTRO file manager is a good tool for doing the usual file manipulation tasks, and it does not require a rooted phone to work with SD card contents. It's free on the Play store.
Just long-press on a file and tap "delete" or use the "multi" button to select and move/copy/delete/etc. multiple files at once.

Theres a workaround
You need the ripped version
I tried it long ago on my gio, but dont use it any more as I have it on my ipad.
Get the rippped hvga version
Start the apk after placing data right on sd
Then before pressing to download, hit the home button,
Now hold home and select GTA
Game will start

I whas wrong, its a bit different
with the ripped version, this is the instruction
you don't need to download in the app, cuz it will replace the data you already have, and it is ripped so it says there are files missing, but I think the data is for WVGA and not HVGA so do not download it, just the ripped HVGA data+apk, install that and after placing the data at /sdcard/android/data this is what you do:
Instruction:
Install apk and extract data files SDCard/Android/Data/
1)Open Game,Accept Eula USER AGREEMENT
2)It will ask you to download data again,press back and minimize game
3)now play game from notification bar or recent apps(hold home button)
4)Enjoy

I can't even open this game, open the game and force at the moment

Check your recovery backups, see if you have too many, they can take up quite a bit of space.

i dont think so, i remember reading someone with a similar problem in another forum but cant for the life of me remember where, sorry! are u on a custom rom? try reflashing or connect to your computer and use the explorer to see where all your space has gone. if that doesnt show more space and a reflash doesnt fix maybe its your internal storage itself i think thats what it was with the other person and its irreparable without replacing. I know Flac music files are crazy big but i assume ud know if it was that. hope i help in some way and if i come across the other person with the same problem ill post a link.

I had a similar issue after flashing a new rom, it would show up with about 9gb taken up space even though nothing showed up. The way I'd fixed it was by formatting the sd card from clockworkmod.

A few ideas
Install solid explorer from the play store. It has a mode that lets you see what is eating up space graphically.
If you download roms vía rommanager or any other app check the sd card folders for those downloads. they're about 150 mb a piece so they can add up (especially if you do nightlies)

If i format my sd card via recovery,
Do i lose my apps?

You will lose any apps installed on the SD card.

Gaming Tweaks

So I have been trying to play GTA III lately. I notice some lag in my play sometimes it will completely STOP until it catches up. It's quite annoying. Now I would think that our SII could handle such a task. I have it over clocked with SetCPU. I have it in airplane mode. And clear other apps out of memory before I start playing. Are there any other gaming tweaks / mods I could utilize I'm not aware of. I've run other games like Dead Trigger, BIA 2, Skies of Glory with no issue. This just lags and sticks ALOT.. Thanks!

What ROM or kernel? Also, if you had the game, then clean flashed, it might not delete the extra game files you downloaded. This causes issues with the game when you reinstall. Try deleting the app, reinstalling clean, and redownloading the files.

I'm running the legendary Darkside Evolution version 8 with TDJ'S kernel. (Should have included this duh ) I've never flashed over this game. First time install. Thanks for the input!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

I'm on Paranoid Android and not overclocking and I've played GTA3 for hours today with not one hiccup. It's awesome. With CM10 and other Roms I've used, different kernels and overclocking it worked great but it had it's occasional lag.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

I think that if you were running TDJ's rom/kernel, it would be sufficient to run GTA 3 smoothly. However, still try different rom/kernel combos.
Last time I was playing GTA 3 was when I had AOKP ICS MS4/TDJ's AOKP kernel and i never lagged.
***Also, try switching governors/schedulers to Smartassv2/sio. or to go even extreme performance/sio and see if it still lags. And play around with different combos.

The thing is that he has the best possible ROM to play this game on. TDJs kernel actually has the GPU overclocked. There's something screwing up your installation. If I were you I'd titanium back up your apps and make a clean reinstall of your evo 8 installation. I guarantee you that would fix it.

Gaming performance has increased for me and my users a lot after flashing this. It also comes with a bunch of other tweaks to. I use it in my Rom

So, is there a lot of difference in this and the pimp my rom mod? Just curious. And also should I perform a fresh flash before I install this rather than installing it on top of the pimp my rom mod?

Nope my rom uses both. When you flash the supremacy script it deletes any tweaks from pimp my rom that might interfere with its own.
So you don't have to "de-pimp" your rom.

Just on off topic question. When I play GTA, I use tilt mode, but it always swerves to the right, and when I put my phone straight up, it turns straight. I was wondering if anyone has a solution to this? I'm sure many people have experienced it and I haven't found a solution through Google search. MIUI 4.1 with h0tcakez 2.3.3.

You need something like Directory Bind. Kind of tricky though. Unfortunately gone are the days that google will support moving apps away from internal memory.

This function is not supported, however you can change to custom roms that may support this, or just install redpill kernel and use the function in the stweaks to make your external sdcard an internal sdcard. This is the easiest method If you get any problems just post some question in the link below, i'll be making some tutorial on how to do this kind of things soon
