Hello i have htc 820 dual and it is supposed to have 16gb internal memory. And i figured out that 9.12gb only is usable and the rest is for the system. My problem is that my internal memory is full and i figured out using sd maid that my files occupy only 1GB of that space.
So, my question is what is hogging the rest of my phone memory? does anyone know about it please? Can that be a bug that have anything to do with the recent lollipop update? thanks in advance waiting for your reply people.

Realistically, virtual sd and /data sharing the same space.

I found this file:

It seems like maybe it will move my data to the SD card to free up some space on internal storage. Anyone know if I'm correct about this?
What's low on space? /data/data or /emmc? In either case it won't do what you're hoping. Its only purpose is to allow you to boot a ROM when mmc storage gets corrupted. It doesn't free space anywhere. Also, I think this is a cmlusco mod.

Fair enough.
I'm actually not low on space really but I've got all my apps installed to the emmc, which I have mounted as the SD card and I think a lot of the data for the apps may still be in the internal storage. I was hoping to swap it so the apps are installed on internal storage, like they usually are, but they read their data from emmc.
I'm not sure if that's possible but I figured I'd ask. Hopefully I was correct in my terminology; I don't really know a whole lot about android's file system.
Hi everyone,
I was at a store today, looking at a Galaxy tab 10" running android 4.2.2.
What I noticed when I checked settings/storage, was that it had no more internal Sdcard0 but a full 16gb partition running the Android system and about 5-6Gb free space for additional programs to install??
So here is my guestion: is this possible on the Note N5110?
What I want to do (if possible) is to "delete" the "stock" SdCard0 and expand the internal 16gb internal mem to one partition.
Then, (if i'm correct) when an SDcard of 64Gb (or less) is inserted, it will be recognized as SdCard0 instead of ExtSdcard.
I have rooted my N5110 and changed the 64Gb to be Sdcard0 and the 10gb as ExtSDcard, but that's a bit buggy sometimes.
It swaps the SDcard0/ExtSDCard mem around from time to time depending on which program you start (very annoying).
Has anyone done this? Did I miss a thread in XDA?
I tried searching, but couldn't find if this is possible or not.
Hope anyone want to answer my question
thanks!!
Wow, nobody?
I'm sure you can "trick" the android os to use the full internal rom instead of creating partitions right?
if there is a thread I missed, please let me know.

There is a script that allows you to flip the sd for the internal, which then allows apps to be installed to the sd card. Dont know if this is the kind of solution you are looking for. ?...Check link below, its for the note 2 so any and all damages done are on your head....

Yes, i've seen that script, used it, it works fine.
but, what I mean is, is there a way to combine the internal (stock) memory on the device.
Here is how I see it:
the device has 16gb internal memory in total.
however, 6gb has been partitioned for the android OS.
10gb is your internal storage to use. (that's 6gb os partition and 10gb external partition = 16gb
so my question again, can I combine those tow to 1 partition = 16gb OS partition and use the external SD card I bought as sdcard0.
one more time;
current setup:
6gb OS
10gb = sdcard0
64gb = ExtSdCard
what I want =
16gb OS
64gb sdcard0
just simple math. but maybe not possible?
And thanks for your reply mygraine :good:
Hi,
Can you please help me in increasing the app partition size in HTC One VX. or share a generic procedure to increase / alter partition sizes. I don't know y HTC has part of the internal memory partitioned as sd card and just 1 GB for app space. If i use chrome, facebook, contacts the data fills up the app space. Am really enjoying the features of your ROM. But app space limitation frustrates me. Can you please help me out here ? I am pretty sure many people are in my situation.
Thanks,
Vasanth Ram.
Hey.
On my old HTC phone I would use something like Link2SD. I'm not sure if it'll still work (coz I've not found the reason for it yet), but you can still try. Do check it out.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. Link2SD works with external SD cards right ? I am just trying to use the internal space 8GB that is partitioned into so many partitions and getting wasted. [just 1 GB for Apps]. My idea is to unify all the partitions and have mount points for data cache etc in different directories.

You can't do that unless you make modifications to the kernel *I think*. And it's better if you don't. Link2SD works just as well as an internal partition. You won't notice most of the differences.
Hi all,
I've just rooted and changed the rom of my HOX and to be honest it's amazing how fast it is and the battery seems to last a little bit longer.
Anyway, I am not writing a new thread for that of course. After trying to install several Apps, I've figured out that my internal memory is almost full even if I only have 706mo of apps. I've moved everything I can from the internal memory to the "sd card" and still, it only remains me 1.28gb of free space.
Do you know what's this "Other" folder which is taking me 4.79Gb of space?
Do you know if I can delete some stuffs?
Thanks,
Alex
Hey
Hi,
It shows others which includes space for system partition and kernel and all the system which is stored on your nand memory.
You only get around 2gb for applications
If I helped you hit that thanks button
Thanks for your answer but I know that. I would like to know if I can get clean the space used by the system and the kernel in order to get more free space?

no you can't. If you want more space for apps migrate to the new layout

THIS ONE
read all your 25 GB is for data and data is used for APP'S you will have more space this is repartitioning on HOX memory most of the latest lolipop and kitkat roms are for the NL and have som JB roms converted for the NL. And will be good to learn the search function for your next question all your question is answared on many places just search it:silly:
Thanks, I will read that.

it's a fictional space that will make you believe you really have 32GB...
its just a dirty trick by htc.
in reality you have 29gb where 2 is the data 25 is the "sd card" and the rest is system.
Hello,
Just upgraded my LG G4 (H815) to marshmallow. Before upgrade I had about 15GB internal storage space empty. During upgrade my phone asked if I wanted to back up and I said yes. Now after upgrade my phone is saying I have 22.70 GB of total storage and have used up 22.02 GB!!! Where did all my space go? Is there a hidden backup file sitting somewhere which is eating up all my space? Can someone please guide me? I am at a loss. Don't really want to reset my phone if I can avoid it. I am having difficulty installing any new apps because of such low space. Also, I do have an external SD card and have already transferred most of the apps there. Still no joy. Many thanks in advance.

Thanks. Will give it a go.

Found the 15GB backup file sitting in the internal storage and deleted it. I have my disk space back now . Thanks.
