At present with stock rom it says the I have a system rom size of 2.64GB (1.15GB free), and an internal media size of 10.6GB. Data taken from Titanium Backup
Is it possible to re size that system rom in order to free up more storage available to use or does Android use that available space for cache or something?

No flash will change the partition size. There are tools to do that, and expect the user to know what partition to resize, so difficulty if any is offset by user error.
There is scripts out to make SD as the system partition, but there are caveats to compatibility with apps and function. Though it may or may not work for you. I guess you can give it a go as it is free and can be removed if needed without need of re-flashing.
For me using the download to SD xposed app does a lot to point the system to SD, and keep personal files and media in on location. Though some apps need configuration to point to SD because the programmer didn't hook to system paths.
Move to SD works fairly well with most apps, just some games tend to loose the icon at times when clearing cache, thus moving back to system fixes the cache.
Just realised I can convert apps to system apps using Titanium backup. That should enable me to make use of the space in that "System ROM" partition correct?
I can't test it at the moment as I'm at work, can't get online and its saying its only available with the donated version (which I have paid for).
I figured I could make Facebook, Twitter, Antutu and other apps system apps to free up space on my "Internal+Media" Partition.
I also use folder mount to store large games on my external sd, I just figure if there is space available on the system partition I'd like to make use of it.

You can also backup the app, remove the app and reinstall it from play if available as a downloaded app, which may allow moving to SD within the system. Using Civato's rom, there should be less system apps than stock, but for the most part, I would remove apps that you can get from play and install them from play if needed.
Yes moving them into system using Ti backup pro would free up emulated SD storage, and SD card as well.
Though I have a number of apps that store 300mb+ of data, that I have no control over in storing. I have used a number of movers but none really work well. Maybe because of Samsung's implementation of storage, who knows.
I know you want to speed up your large drawings, but there is a limit to tablets made before 2014, I would expect waiting for 2015's latest tablets to upgrade. I am not too gung ho on 2014's tablets as of yet. Sure 2Ghz is faster and all, just would like to see faster throughput in the data channels and USB3 or Firewire2 capabilities. The only way to get something like that is through convertible notebooks.
tablets are still being made like phones... not much to be overwhelmed into being a work device, more like a gizmo if anything. I wish companies would stop playing around trying to make things look better, and start producing better internal design. I know android kills that process, but Ubuntu seems like the best alternative on tablets over android.

I'm not unhappy with the tablets performance when drawing as I just use it for rough sketching, I'm just trying to get it to perform to its maximum potential. I enjoy learning about whats going on under the hood and trying to improve apon each aspect.
I've had no issue moving the obb and data files to my external sd card using FolderMount. It means I have about 30GB of apps installed despite the 10GB app partition limit. I dont take the external SD card out though. Don't know how much of an issue it would be if you liked changing out your micro SD on the fly. I try and keep at least 15% of each partition empty
I should hopefully be coming into a little bit of money in a few months. Not a great deal, but enough to allow me to buy some new gadgets. High on my list is a windows tablet/laptop with a digitizer layer. May be one of the Samsung ATIV 700T series. They seem reasonably priced with an I5 processor and 4GB RAM. I'd preffer 8GB RAM but I cant find much for less than £1000

What are my options?
1. Clear cache;
2. Remove some apps;
3. Wait for root + custom ROMs with APPS2SD
I am now wondering ... What is this "cache" ?
Do we really need to clean it periodically?
It would be nice if there is a widget to clean this.
And honestly, I am not impressed with the storage ... 512 RAM seems a lot, but actually it is NOT
I have removed Google earth as it was taking up nearly 22MB which in the grand scheme of things seems to be load of space....
I never understand why they don't a minimum of 1gb internal storage on these devices for apps.

...or just allow for apps to be installed on a memory card from the first place
Seems like that they [Android OS] have realised that without doing so, they will not be able to have storage hungry things such as games to be installed.
36 as I counted, is normal IMO. But yeah, I really hope that you will be able to install applications on your SD card in the future. Not that I want more apps, but I want BETTER apps (which means they will be more MB's). I remember downloading games for the iPod touch that were over 100 MB. They were also off very high quality.
About not allowing installing apps to SD card: I think the reason why it is not allowed is the following.. if you can install something to your SD card, you can easily share it with other over the internet, right? That will mean people will start downloading apps the 'dirty' way! That's the only reason I see.
But Google is very smart and so far keeps giving everybody what they want. I am sure they will find a solution!

When you use apps, it stores some files in memory for quicker access later. Downside of it is that it takes-up space. Normally you would not want to clear cache that often, but if you're running out of space it helps.
Unfortunately you can only clear cache for each app one-by-one, but here's an app that might make the process easier http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.cerisierbleu.qac
You can not store any apps on your memory card!

No, you can't put apps on memory card until we have root and get to use cool ROMs like CyanogenMod.
Or until Google adds official support for apps2sd, but I can bet you that root will come first.
the reason why google doesnt allow apps etc to be installed on SD cards is because of security of the system, meaning that through this it would be probably easier to root or hack the device and they re working on some kind of encryption for this, and it will be included in the future update,
someone from this forum posted it somewhere here in this section
I also got low memory on my G1 with Apps2sd. That's because every app stores stuff on the internal memory, the browser cache, google maps cache and so on. My experience showed me that these things are the real memory killer.

Google will encrypt that partition of the sdcard so it is secure. IIRC, support for something with the sd card was checked in recently, along with the support for the LED (for the nexus one). I imagine apps2sd is something all android devices will be seeing soon.
Personally, I would be screwed if I couldn't install apps to my sd card on my phone...as stated above, google earth takes up way too much space. Tack on a couple games and a dozen apps? Forget it.

I thought it was due to the fact that the paid apps wouldn't be secure on the sd card, opening the gate further for app piracy and thus they were working on a solution to allow copy protection on the sd card.
I think this issue just turned me off the Desire and now I'm leaning towards the Nexus 1. I like to install plenty of apps so this could be a real issue for me
All android phones are the same, its just a matter of time before its sorted you can still get plenty of apps on, personally i can't see how anyone would need more than 10.

not sure to be honest. I would assume that you will be able to mount your sd card and copy all of the contents off the secured/encrypted partition if your machine recognizes that partition type...then again, maybe you won't be able to.
If you upgrade sd cards, you may have to start all over with installing to the sd card. Good question.

the iphone is popular for lots of reasons; app support being at the top...but I would imagine the viral advertising and the "everyone has it" thing doesn't hurt.
Funnily enough, Android is almost on as many mobile devices as iphoneOS (according to an admob metric report). So the "everyone has it" argument is about to become a moot point.

From my days on Desire, I found D2EXT much better cos ALL of the app was moved and the system was tricked into thinking the EXT part of the memory card was actually the internal memory (NAND). For some strange reason there was only few roms that had it (hence why i was on MIUI on my desire).
Don't understand the Xperia Play forum, very disorganised, gonna use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374061 to move my apps to SD card. Defo want more apps, hate this running out of space!!!!

Basically the use of having an ext partition in your sdcard in the 1st place is our device's very poor internal storage(400mb) and the system is already taking up about half of it.
If you notice other devices with high internal storage as default (8gb, 16, 32gb like Galaxy S, SII, Note, Etc.,) doesnt even bother having it, even though its still possible.
If youre installing some user apps and its frustrating because you cant move it to SD card via settings menu, its because the app wants you to install it to the internal memory,
as they “believe” the app wouldn’t work in your SD card. If youre using a higher internal storage smartphone this isn’t much an issue to you, but if youre struggling for space,
this is quite annoying.
So the use of an ext-partition in your sd card is needed for those apps unmovable via the “normal way”.
Some 3rd party apps such as Link2sd(my personal favourite), Simple2Ext(CM7 rom), Apps2Sd, and many more out there will make use of this partition
These tools will “fool” your system in linking those user apps to your internal memory where in reality they’re moving it into your ext-partition, which is basically to your sd card also.
Take note that some apps though(well, not much) are not functional if they’re in the ext partition. In my experience only 2 apps failed to work, Beautiful Widgets and Minecraft pocket edition. I don’t know about others since
almost all apps seem to function well in the ext partition.
Not only that, some apps also(such as titanium backup) can convert a system app to a user app, so you can move it to your sd card using Link2Sd! But I wouldn’t recommend it though, I’m reading a lot of threads here
which system apps are safe to transfer/freeze/delete, so I have some system apps converted to user and now on my ext partition. Sweet.
Hope Ive helped.
Can I second noojster on Link2SD. Both minecraft and beautiful widgets work fine for me. Jelly Defense doesn't seem to like it though. Only one I have found so far.
just installed the new rom, CivZ-FLEXBEAM-4.2.2-REV3.0-N5110-MH3. Factory reset, wiped cache, wiped the advanced Davld something.
Got into system, without installing anything yet, and here's the internal storage!
It's a 16Gb version yet it only shows maximum of 9.87Gb, and only about 2Gb free space available!
Could anyone please help?
please help！

That, to the best of my knowledge, is normal. Mine shows the same. Large portions of the drive are walled off for System files and the like in 4.2.2. I read where a very similar situation exists for the SGS4. Not sure exactly why this is but until someone devises a method of safely re-partitioning the internal (same happened with one of the versions of Nook Color Tablet) we'll have to watch the available space and use uSD as much as possible.
Sucks doesn't it?
yeah, it's always been like that. one of the biggest complaints was about the amount storage available on the 16gb drive.

I do wonder if some android guru might be able to figure out a method of safely re-partitioning to reclaim some space? That's what happened a while back when the Nook Tablet was released. Of course, it was due to BN reserving space for downloaded content and not system files. Just hard to believe 4.2.2 "needs" that much space to operate. On my N7 4.3 System only takes up 5.7MB.
But it IS a different device I suppose.
if you get an aosp rom, they're still around 200-300MB. it's all the touchwiz stuff that inflates the roms, but some of that touchwiz stuff is why we got the tablet in the first place. but still, reserving 6GB for the system partition seems a bit overkill to me. if i could get a full functioning spen and multiwindows in cm i'd switch.
There has to be something wrong. My free space is not that low, and I have more space taken up by apps. I'm using the stock rom firmware though.
I'm not sure how to post captures here. But I have 2.13gb of applications and 6.47gb free.
Not sure if this will work, but here is mine.
Your graph of the used storage space is also smaller than mine.
darn, i didn't notice that you meant the free space was wacky. try backing up everything to the sd card and then formatting the data partition. or worst case just wipe and start fresh.
Dang! It just hit me! I have like 4 GB in backups in CWM on the internal. Am moving them to uSD pronto!
Check yours.
That did it. Added 4.5GB to internal.
Hi all,
I have a Galaxy S 10.5 (16GB) that I picked up in September of 2014. I love the thing but it's showing a weird issue. Any time I hit 500MB storage remaining, Google Play Store will no longer update apps. It gives me an insufficient storage notification. I can go in and clear the cache and everything is great - until I get to 500MB remaining again. Then I have to find more space again.
I've had a 64GB SD card installed in the device since I purchased it. I store music there and move apps that support it to the memory card. I was hoping that having the SD card would make the (insufficient) 16GB of storage liveable. It hasn't and the 500MB has only made it more challenging.
Has anyone seen this before and/or have any ideas what might be going on here.
Thanks!
I think that might be the limit of free space that must be available for the System to use. Think of it like a fail-safe approach to keep the tablet running smooth while it is constantly caching, deleting/creating temporary files, and allocating memory space in the background. Without sufficient free space available, it can't do those functions.

Thanks. That seems reasonable. It's particularly annoying because the OS occupies almost 5GB of the 16GB I'm supposed to have. I'd rather Google/Samsung throw that 500MB into the 5GB they already have rather than tease me by telling me it's available but essentially unusable.
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
<rant> First and foremost I completely agree that Google's handling of external memory, or their lack of wanting to handle, or let users use microSD cards is wrong. The way it handles moving program data to external cards in kitkat is horrible and lollipop honestly is not much better, but at least users were determined to be sufficiently old and intelligent enough to be "allowed" to grant programs permission to manage our external data instead of only letting oem programs that ability. </rant>
With all that said the answer to your issue is even more simple then that. All Programs take up at minium 2x the space while you are updating them. You have the apk (the update) and the actual program existing at the same time. Not to mention that the programs tend to take up more space then apk's due to compression of resources and other things. Given those 2 things instead of trusting that the user won't download a 200MB update and seeing it is only 200MB put annother 200MB of music on the device while it is downloading causing issues google puts a free space cap.
I always thought that the system memory is included in that block of space the 4-5GB that the OS and bloat live in.
There HAS to be some spaced reserved for the OS or the tablet would crash. data is constantly written to the data partition which is part of the internal storage and this space is needed to run the device.
I have run into this issue myself, but its easily resolved by moving all unecessary stuff to the sd card - downloads, music, media, apps e.t.c.
All it takes is a bit of housekeeping every now and then. Download an app called All-in-One toolkit from play, it will find loads of junk files which you can safely delete to free a fair amount of space.
However I agree it was rather stingy of Samsung not to include 32gGb of internal storage which should be the minium for a so called flagship device.
Yeah, this issue of less than usable sdcard is also worrying me.
I had a Galaxy tab 8.9 (which came to the market in 2011) before this. It had 16gb and no SDcard. Storage was a pain.
AFAIR, also there is no Gmail syncing when below the limit. Imagine the frustration not getting your emails and trying to find something to delete.
I was hoping the SD card in the tab S would be more usable, but alas. At least Lollipop is slightly better, but only if the apps wanna use it. I get frustrated when dictionary app Merriam Webster for example stores its 100 megabytes data file in internal memory. Same with TED app videos.
And of course, current Rom and OS used almost double the storage for system as the tablet from 2011. Android 4.0.4. Apps have become bigger too.

Precisely! The Samsung text-to-speech engine takes up at least 300MB of storage. Facebook consumes about 200MB. The Kindle app (sort of understandable since I have a lot of books) uses almost 200MB. Very little of any of that can be saved to my 60% empty SD card. Add in Newsstand and other similar apps and space is eaten up very quickly. Super annoying...
I'm now discovering this problem and it is really annoying. Is rooting the only way of getting round this? I don't want to do this but I don't think I have an option. I only have 500MB left on internal but 40GB on my 64GB micro sd.

I'm not even sure that rooting would change much about this. With rooting you can remove some of the limitations in KK and Lp about writing to the external sd card...
But this will not get applications to spontaneously use the external sd card instead of the internal SD card, for their data.
I know there used to be tricks like a2sd, link2sd, and other variations... which were widespread 3-5 years ago. To make the device believe, through symlinks and crafted mounts, that an ext3 partition on the sdcard was a part of internal data. It was often cause for instability if executed less than perfectly.
I had this on my HTC Desire, a "flagship" phone from 5 years ago, with top of the line hardware: cpu , mem, screen, but with only 250mb for internal data.
I have not searched for it specifically but so far I've not seen anybody talking about those tricks for this device.

This is a free app that shows you exactly where your storage space has gone. None of this nebulous "miscellaneous" nonsense. I was able to recover about my existing free space in extra space from stuff I didn't realize was still in my storage. While this is not a solution to not being able to store all your apps on an external card it might just help a few ppl get that extra space they need.

I hope that works out for you. I gave up on the idea of moving obb files that didn't want to move (way too much hassle for something that does not always work right) and instead decided to have less massive obb apps (games) installed at one time. I can only do one thing at a time anyways.
I have my Galaxy Note 10 + for 11 months now, with 256 gb internal storage and 128 GB SD card and a few months ago I was notified that my internal storage space was almost full. It was very difficult for me to believe this, as I do not have nearly enough pictures to be taking that up (pictures and videos are routinely uploaded to Google Drive and are stored on external SD card), and all of my music is loaded onto an SD card.
I have cleaned recycle bin but something is getting piled up day by day reducing main storage of the phone base memory. When actually measured the folders account only 60 gb in base memory but there is very less free memory.
Looking at the storage analysis, the problem seems to come from a large amount of space being taken up in the "other" category, but I cannot figure out what is categorized under "other" or why it is filling. How do I identify these files and delete them if unwanted?
SD Maid Pro works great for me. I can confirm that it can delete files. Just did some storage management yesterday.

Use the file manager and sort by size, what's on top?
You need to manually hunt for it. Check app data especially Google's. SD Maid doesn't delete app data.
Get the Windows driver for it and view the Android on the PC. Play with it. Off load some of the files and watch how it behaves. Does internal memory unexpectedly keep being used up?
You can try clearing the system cache on the boot menu but I don't think it will help. Never hurts.
That copy sounds like it's getting old... maybe reload time anyway.
