[Q] How to check free space on the phone not on SD card?

Anyone knows how to check free space on the phone not on the SD card?
It says I have no room but I can't check it by use of Es file explorer or Astro.
Thanks.

Go to manage applications on settings> applications> manage applications. At the bottom you will see how much space its used and how much is free....
You can also use App Control.apk to see used space on your phone. It also lets you backup your applications

Thank you guys for a quick reply.
Well I'm getting to:
settings> applications> manage applications. At the bottom you will see how much space its used and how much is free....
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But, well... I don't see any info about the total or/and free space.
Clicking Menu only lets for the sort order.

Then it is better to use app control application. It will so used and unused space at the top of its ui.

Thank you.
Any other app you would suggest?
App Control has not very intuitive interface. This size showing is well... strange. And the "see details" feature does not work for me.
App remover has a nice interface but it does not show the general info.
So would you suggest any other app?
Thank you very much

AppMonster is also a good application. Pro version is actually quite nice and has added features.

If you're rooted, use Titanium Backup. I'm sure there's a more lightweight application to check, but TB shows your System, Internal, and SD storage as separate bars.

I'd say the best way is to go to manage applications and look down at the bottom. It will say internal storage.

Just go to Settings>Storage and towards the bottom it will say Internal Storage. It will give you total space and available space.

Pre-installed ?

Is there any way to add some apps/games to pre-installed ?
If there is a way to do it please tell me how im a newbie and I might ask alot of questions.
Regards,
JC2

Well basically pre-installed means "installed apps, (if paid or under the copyright such as google apps) still protected by the law but legally and originally dependend to the ROM provided by manufacturer/producer/network operator/developer and free to use for everyone who owns the device" which is mainly the phone.
So I think there is no reasonable way to add pre-installed games/apps, but only download/buy them and just install...
I don't really see the point of this question but I'll be happy if my post helps you.
Cheers!

Put the apk in the system/app folder then install it.
That doesn't sound like what you're asking, but the closest I know you can do. Or you can use Titanium Backup to convert it to a system app.

How can I use titanium backup to convert it to a system app?

In Titanium Backup long press the app and choose convert to system app. You need the paid for version though.

All In One App.

Hell guys I was just searching around and found this SD Box app its a nice app that gives you battery info, mobile traffic, Do No Disturb, App Lock where you can set password to the apps you want, also have a Task Killer, you can Uninstall apps, Move apps to SD card, and also clean the system.
Unlike the newer phones on the market that comes with some of the following apps already installed; if yours doesn't have any installed and you are just tired of installing each app for certain work, then this is the app for you. Its totally free, you can click on the link below to download it from the Play Store.

I DIDN'T CREATE THE APP JUST THOUGHT IT WAS AWESOME, SO ALL RIGHTS GO TO THE RESPECTIVE OWNERS. BUT IF YOU LIKE IT, I WOULDNT MIND A THANK :good:

[Q] So I'm rooted.. now what

OK, while we wait for custom roms with full debloat, what can we do for ourselves now you have a device that is rooted.
I'd suggest a file manager that can explore root, such as Root Explorer. Get one and give it SU status.
Next download and install Adfree run it and install a new hosts file to get rid of ads etc.
After that, disable apps under Settings/General/ Application Manager, by clearing cache, clearing data, force stop and disable.
Now on to /system/apps to remove the bloat.
Except here's where I need help.
Which apps after you've disabled them can now be deleted from /system/apps. They don't necessarily have the same names that appear in Apps Manager in Settings/General/ Application Manager.
And what's safe to delete and what's not.
For instance
I want rid of Google Plus, Hang outs. Facebook, All Samsung bloatware except maybe touchwiz and magazine inferface and IR apps.
How do I do this safely.
How do I remove most of the bloat ware while still leaving the essentials?
Thanks in anticipation..

I would recommend using Titanium Backup to "freeze" unwanted system apps. Most everything Samsung can be safely frozen. When you freeze an app, you're not uninstalling it, just disabling it. If you freeze something that causes unwanted results, simply unfreeze to return to full function.

Understood, and indeed a very valid point. :good:
BUT, I'm looking to remove the excess bloatware solely so I can free up RAM.

Frozen apps do not use RAM.

You're right.
I meant storage space. I want to free the storage space the bloatware fills up. For that you need to remove the app from /system/apps

Is adfree better than adblock?

Adblock kept crashing on my devices, I changed to adaway and that seems to be doing better.

Titanium is what I would recommend as well (after root). You can try freezing the unwanted apps first, to make sure it doesn't adversely affect anything else. Then when you are convinced the apps are okay to remove, uninstall using Titanium.
