Like a lot of people, trying to decide between the Note2 and the LGOG.
What is the actual usable storage on the device? Obviously the drive is less than 32gigs, and android OS also takes up space as well. How much data can I actually store on the device?
Usable storage is 25.08 gb

I think he's talking about the RAM. Android manages memory different than OS X or Windows. Full is actually good. People are always going overboard with task killers trying to free up RAM. Android will free up RAM as necessary, so you really shouldn't ever have to worry about it. Unlike Windows when it gets full it puts memory into swap on the HDD slowing it down. Android will just quit the app, because you haven't used it in a while.
Just for reference I have 246MB available on CM7 with a fresh boot. After using it a few hours, I generally have about 90MB free on average.
The internal memory on my t989 is incredibly sluggish, there isn't a whole lot of storage being used. Only a few gigs. Tried to transfer a 200mb file onto the internal memory and it took 10 some odd minutes. :/
Could anyone provide me with some insight on speeding it up or should I just try and RMA the phone? Would I benefit from completely reformatting my t989?

What ROM are you on?? Sounds like your read cache is set to 128kb.

internal memory is Class 10
it's pretty fast IMO
you just need to clean up some junks and not keep installing as much Apps/Games to the SD card
the more Apps you have, the slower it takes

CM9 nightly. The latest one.
So I can't get this to work. ... anyone know why? Something about storage emulator. ...
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I have to ask.. why? My GN2 shows that I have 9.3 GB free... I understand the need for this on the older devices like the OG EVO where int storage was scarce but on our kind of devices with so much memory... what is the point?
Really? It's pretty common knowledge that Google removed that functionality from Jelly Bean.

works great
i bought a 64gb class 10 sdcard and followed that video (can't put links yet) but someone posted the link in this thread and it's working great.
I did have some trouble moving the apps, but i am a noob with android, I just uninstalled it all and re-downloaded them on playstore (couldn't figureout titanium pro) it downloaded on the new 64gb, all the apps run great i didn't notice any lag at all, everything seems to be downloading to the 64gb I'm HAPPY!
Well I stand corrected.

What's common knowledge to one obviously isn't too another. Thanks for those that have given passive feedback .

I suppose it's more of a piece of ming thing. I guess I just don't feel comfy when I'm limited. In the end of I can't get it to work if be Ok. ... I just like having the option
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I also like to have the option and I am glad to see that it can be done.
I got a 64gig card as well, and really don't see the point using apps2sd anymore. 10gb free on the phone is a lot of apps, but I'm also a pretty light user compared to most.
Unfortunately, running you SD card as internal memory puts a tremendous amount of strain on the card. There's a high chance of corruption at some point in time, then you're screwed. I prefer something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp

If you pull the card will it automatically swap to internal?

Hi xda! i have a question for the devs,
The samsung galaxy note 2 has 16gb internal storage but only 10gb is available
so i discoved that partitions such as cache have 1gb allocated but is 99% empty so is there a way to repartition and claim back some space?
Because aosp installed on a 16gb system should leave 13.3gb space free for user data i understand that touchwiz is Bloated but still why is there too much space allocated to the system partitions
Aosp rom need not to think for OTA.
Samsung have to keep provision for it, we xdaian are just less than 10 % who customizing rom with Odin. 90% are still depends on official update. In case there is major release like 4.3 or klp release for note2 then it may need huge space.

Dont know but there could be some form of swap/pagefiling to improve the ram of the phone.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
But the question is is it possible to reclaim this allocated space without any issues for those who don't rely on OTA updates. I plan to stick with aosp roms.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Well why reclaim it back if it could be turned into swap or what ever android systems use to increase ram.

I'm new to S4, came from Hercules. Running darthststalker, love the rom. I'm running low on storage space. No music or pics right now. Have about 900 mb left. Any ideas?

Do you have any nandroid backup? Those take up a good chunk of spaces. Thread title say system space our did you mean internal sd space?

The total available user memory of all variants of the Galaxy S4 is 9GB .
The rest of the 16GB's are used by the phone's firmware/rom.
And NO the number or size of nandroid backups will not give
you more or less TOTAL available/usable memory.
The more of that 9GB of memory you use up with nandroid
backups or anything else the less you will have leftover.
It makes NO difference how big or many megabytes your rom is.
The additional 6GB's are pre-allocated for the phone to be used
by the firmware/rom and cannot be changed or altered.
Check it out, here are the full specs:

scroll down until you see "memory"and read the specs. carefully.
Good luck!
Thank you. That makes sense. Gonna have to get a big sd card then!
