You basically have to start to delete stuff you don't need. Go to system settings and storage and start from there. You can actually move apps to the sd card. There's a hack in the development section posted by zedomax. I haven't tried it but you can check it out. Make sure you carefully read the instructions.

yeah you can do that but some ROMs are optimized to work with ext2 partitions for A2SD.
swap size can be optional as its functions as bootleg RAM.

That is the correct way.... You set the swap and partition sizes to 0 and you are good to go, but as always, back up to your computer first.....

Just fyi, I was trying to do the same thing yesterday. I unmounted the sd card via the phone setting, and formated the sd card from within the phone (not plugged into the computer...all phone here), and it deleted the partition.
Guys how can I recover the space I loose with partioning?
I formatted my SD and went back to 7.38 gb
and if I enter to Titanium Backup it says 7.93

There are programs you can run off your pc that will recover any lost space. I saw them mentioned in the kingdom or Genger thread recently.

I don't have a direct link for you, but what your saying is exactly what the guy in the other thread mentioned. Except he was missing like over a gb I think. Someone referenced a program you can run, that will "recover" that space you seem to have lost after "unpartitioning" your card.

Nope :/ like App2SD and make the internal storage 3GB.
Sent from my R800x using XDA
3 ways
There are few ways to get more space:
1st- move all the apps you can to the SD,
from Settigs->Apps->Apps Admin
2sd- Use and app that let you move your apps
even when the system does not let you.
(you need to be root)
3r- Mount all your apps in a virtual memory
on the SD. This decrease speed and battery but
let you have unlimited space.
(swapper app, need also to be root)

There is absolutely no way to make internal storage get up to 3gb. The method that was posted in the development section doesn't work on R800x. You'll have to use some form of a2sd or link2sd.

Why is my 16 gb T-mobile Note 2 only showing 10 gb? Did i get a defective device, or does this particullar device use 6 gb for system? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Quite a bit is used for the system, and is normal (unfortunately)

You can always buy an sd card, you can add 64gb. At least we have an option to add an sd card. If you need more space there's options.

And if you get a usb OTG cable, you can add a flash drive to add even more storage! I got a 64gb card in the phone and another 64gb flash drive which I've loaded with music and videos.

I was looking for an easy way to do this because I am lazy. Saw scripts and stuff but that seemed like work.I tried this, but I am not certain it works, at least not well. I ran it, and it says it ran successfully, but the device memory didn't change at all. Same amount taken up by applications, same available space over all.
However, I did try to move the apps back and forth again to test this, so maybe it moved once, but then refused to move any more. Not sure...
Do I have to have a rooted phone in order to move stuff to my sd card? This is insane that u can't move apps or music to an sd card. WHY would Samsung do that?

They are probably not transferring because they don't run properly from the external sd. There's plenty of room for apps in the internal.

I rooted my s4 but I have no clue how to move anything to the micro sd card its 32 gigs class 4 I bought music from the playstore and some apps and just want to move it to the sd. This is my first android I had ipod/iphones before this
Welcome to Android
First off, congrats on the switch to Android. I personally believe you won't want to go back to iPhone. With that said, I don't have my S4 yet, but if it's anything like other Androids, you can use a file app (I use Astro) and move any files back and forward as you see fit. You can also mount the phone to a PC and move it that way or put the SD card itself in the PC. If your filling up the whole 32GB or a lot of data, the fastest would probly be mounting the SD card itself into the PC.
Hope this helps, but then again.... I'm still waiting for the S4 to release in my area.
I found a way to move the music to sd card just not apps I think they made it harder to move because no apps I download do it but ill try astro. Ipod/iphone jailbreaking is simpler lol.

Not if you plan to install games.
I have a 32gb iPhone 5 and have at least 17gbs in games alone.
I'm also looking for a way to install apps on the SD card.
I haven't open my GS4 yet so I can return it incase we can't.
600+ for a 9GB is a not good.
@@@use " link2sd " application...download from play store...its not only let u too move apps to sd...and u can also uninstall unwanted system apps if u [email protected]@@
So I did a fresh install of a tw rom and its saying I have used 5.4 gb Ive factory rest like 3 times already ... whats the deal thanks.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
Your system and recovery partitions use a portion of the 16gb that the phone has. Kind of like if you do a fresh install of Windows on you PC, the system files take up part of the hard drive. There's no real way around that.

Are you saying the device shows total available internal memory to be ~9GB? If that is the case, that's the way it is with the way it's partitioned. If you mean there's 5.4GB missing out of the ~9GB it's supposed to have, then there's a problem.
your backup is in the external, can't see it unless you're in recovery. I figured out the hard way.

If you are using CWM and have made a backup (or two) check /data/media/clockwork. It's the root of the phone, not of the internal memory partition or SD card.
