Use a file explorer to check for a 0 folder. Sometimes when flashing a rom all your internal data is put in there.
I did check all of available folders.nothing.there is unknown gap if 5 gb.

make sure you're using a file explorer that has root privileges.
this happened to me recently. and once i used ES File Explorer with root, empty folders were no longer empty.

Any help here would be appreciated. This happened twice with google maps and once with facebook. Instead of integrating, apps are being removed from phone.
I am on stangs rom the latest official deodexed gingerbread rom...never had this problem before.
Are you restoring data+apps? And if so what Rom did u back them up with?
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
Nah. When I install a new rom (like this one for instance) I only restore user apps and data. I leave all the internal apps alone.
Soo after getting updates for internal apps (like Gmail/Maps/Facebook) I use the intergrate button and then **poof** the apps are removed. Icon still shows up under system/apps in Root Explorer but the app and icon don't show up anymore on phone.
So what do you guys recommend? Should I just do this manually in Root Explorer? How can I integrate on my own to save some space?
Just wanted to bump. I know I can do this the reverse way while rooted. I guess by removing the app and reinstalling again but anyone else have any ideas?
Still getting this problem.
How much free space is is /system? TB may fail on moving if there is not enough space free.

Hmmm I bet you are on to something. Only about 3-4 mb free. Even though I can free up about another 40 mb by deleting an app.disabled folder I created. Thanks man I bet this is why.
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]@@
If you root and rom your phone will it get rid of the 9gig of bloat? Like if the rom takes up 3 gigs will it free up 6 gigs that Samsung stock takes up or just add to it and make it 12 gigs used?

Rooting has nothing to do with bloatware or bloat, before and after rooting the free space will basically remain the same.
Rooting never affected the free or used space of any android phones.
With the stock or rooted stock rom the free space will not change.
Also your math about free and used space just don't seem to compute.
But in any case I wish you the best of luck.
(you will need it).............
Thanks. I wasn't using exact math just random numbers to get a point across. I just know our phone comes with 8gigs of free space and the other 8 gigs are being used by Samsung. My question was if we rooted are we able to take back some of that space Samsung uses or does the rom just take away from the space allocated to use by Samsung
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
After you root use a program called titanium backup to freeze or uninstall bloat.
Or once rooted flash a bloat free Rom.
Yes, you get the space back

That's where you are wrong, our phones come with 16gb and the free space is almost 10GB before you add any apps or anything else in it.
As soon as you root the phone and flash a good custom rom the free space will go up at least 500MB
because when the devs create these custom roms they usually remove a lot of bloatware.
A good custom rom after being debloated and deoxedized and whatever else the devs do to it takes up approx 1.2GB or less, usually less.
Thats what i wanted to know thank you.

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

Check out the Settings->Storage screen to see where all the storage is being used, maybe you have too many apps? If it is files, I would download ES File Explorer, it has some great utilities for finding and cleaning up your storage.
Use the app DiskUsage.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage&hl=en
It will tell you exactly where all your big files are.
Or sdmaid

with a root explorer see what is taking your memory in data/media, you may have nandroid backups for example.
