What are some things I could delete or move to SD to get more internal memory. I am running liquid smooth ROM. I know there used to be an apps to SD option through titanium backup but I don't see it anymore.

Have you read any of the other numerous threads on the subject of internal memory? This subject has been covered so many times and it's always the same thing.

Use folder mount to move big files to ex card. This phone does not have option yet to move apps to sd unless you use a rom from another carrier on it.

This!
The easy bet is that it is your rom backups. That has been the answer for all 900 other people who have made this same thread.

That's why you always save backups on the ex card. Never save them on internal sd.

I always search before making a post. Haven't started too many posts... Sorry I couldn't find the answer :/ but thank you other guys for the help. I wasn't sure if backups could go to SD because of them being through cwm. But yes I knew they were taking a lot of my memory away.

Next questions search. Getting backups to SD..
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
To get back ups to sd, first you search your recovery since they are not all created equal. On cwm I know you have the option right after you select backup and restore. It is a few selections down. Not sure on twrp, Im sure its easily spotted though.
Figured out how to back up to SD. Thanks for the help!

I've always used ROM manager to make, rename or delete a nandroid. The app shows that there are no backups but when I go into CWM it shows there are 6! I tried to save my current setup and was unable to because there is no available memory.
Those 6 are clogging up potential available space does anybody know how else I can delete them?? I searched a bunch of files in Root Explorer but couldnt find anything. I want to check out TWRP because I hear a lot of hype about it but need to get this situation dealt with first.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated

Did you set up which location you're storing it in... In ROM manager that is. You should check out both your emmc and sd card or uhhh depending on your Rom, sdcard and ext

There it is, nice!! External SD Card. I can't believe I overlooked that file. Thank you for the help!
I obviously can't see what's right in front of my face, I swear I could be in a room with an elephant and not even know it was there :silly:
Yeah you could set up ROM manager to external sd card so you can organize it that way lol. And that phrase is totally used out of context but works lol

I would really like to free up some space on my internal SD. I bought a 64GB SD card , and am using FolderMount to try and move the apps, but to no avail. Anyone figure this out yet? I am rooted running Infamous S4, and have removed all of the bloatware possible. Still really low an memory.
I use the stock file manager to move apps, i had this same problem with storage. Do you have more than one backup saved on your internal sd?

Like I stated in the original post, I am using FolderMount. The problem is the folders where the games should be are empty when I look for them. That is the ones I can find. Its like they don't really exist. I went into my data folder, did find one game, Zynga Poker, and tried to move it, pinned it, and it did absolutely nothing.
Your not moving the whole folder then. Your doing something wrong. Watch a couple YouTube videos on how to. Navigate to SD card, android, data or obb and select one of your games inside either of those two folders

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.

First of all sorry if this issue has already been addressed, I looked around could not find much on this issue, anyways I have been running deathstalker s3 for a while, I decided to try deathstalker s4 , it installed okay but the phone kept force closing any system app I tried to run , I reverted back to deathstalker s3 and my phone constantly displays low storage and says 330mb of free space, but in the settings > storage, it displays a lot of free space in the bar graph but none of it is useable, once again sorry if this has already been asked, any suggestions in the right direction would be helpful

I would format the external sd and the internal sd and do a complete wipe and re download the rom to your external sd and flash the newly download ed rom

Do you have any nandroid backup stored on the phone? Those take up lots of spaces. If not you might need to do a format as suggested.

Check /data/media/ you must have some hidden files stored there.
Thanks for the help all of you 100% in the right direction, now I'm a lot closer but I think something else is hidding files, now I'm at 4.62gb out of 9.62gb after deleting the the clockworkmod backups, once again thank you for everyone's input

same problem
I'm having the same issue I believe its some kind of block or something like that I downloaded an app called aparted and said it was an block called fats32? not sure what that is though just thought i would put it out there
Am I missing some memory? Shouldnt I have more available then 3.5? Is this normal guys I thought this phone has 16gb internal?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
You got one of the recall S4's probably. Shake the phone and see if you hear something rattle, if so thats the missing memory. Take it back to the store for recall replacment
Some of that 16gb is dedicated to the "system" (Rom and pre installed app)

You didnt happen to use CWM to back up, did you? If so, theres your problem.

Most likely the other part of you answer. Although its a 16gb device only around half of it is usable storage. Still after flashing a ROM I tend to have 7+GB available. Backups take a big chunk. 2.5 - 3gb and by default store internally. Move these to an external SD and select external as default storage on next backup. I actually have a separate 32gb thumb drive+ otg cable with a backup from multiple ROMs. And I select the USB otg option. Keeps my on board SD cards clean.
