I think there's a way to use it in a sort of apps2SD style. I wouldn't suggest it though because the eMMC used in the phone is slower than the SDcard and must share bandwidth with the system.

yeah i know what you mean, but the phone itself has 7ish gb of flash memory (total of 8gb) that dedicate 1gb to the system (746mb usable) so instead of been just there is there any way to use them as part of the system (as right now my phone sees 2 sd card the physical one (16gb) and the internal 6ish gb) this last one I don't use it at all so my question is is there any way to partion it the system one to be able to use the total 8gb internal flash memory?

Same way Motorola Droid X Does

Yes, edit the vold.fstab file in /system/etc and switch the last two lines. Specifically the the "auto" and beyond and the "3" and beyond. Leave what's before the auto and the 3 on the last two lines.

I think the app NotEnoughSpace will do that for you. Or more to the point it will allow you to use some of that space for the /data/data partition which on the Dinc is allocated to 150MB and is responsible for the "Application out of space" errors people get all the time.

That just mounts emmc as sd and sd as emmc. I think what hes asking is if there is a way to dedicate more than 1gb of the memory to the system out of the 7gb free. So in other words out of 8 total gb he wants 7gb to be dedicated to the system and 1gb for emmc storage.

+1 on this as well.I just store important stuff on there which is nowhere near 1gb used. 700 some mb is just not enough for me.

notenoughspace is useful for moving what's in /data/data so there's no more FC's and warnings when it gets low based on the old 150mb and under. all my media and storage of files is on a 16gb sd so I'm hardly using the emmc. once this is figured out I'll reset my /data/setup based on how much more space we can allocate for more apps outside the initial 1gb
update: after playing with "NES" and moving certain apps one by one to avoid problems I nearly have almost 120mb freed up in data/data and notice some increase in performance unless my eyes are fooling me

any news on this? I'd love to create more program memory out of the emmc

[Q] Storage inaccurate by 3 gbs

Hello world. I've noticed that the galaxy nexus actually allows about 13 gbs of space. But that's not even what this thread is about. This is about me missing about another 3 gbs. The phone says 13 gbs is total. And says I've used only 6 (from adding up the storage list) but reports to me only having 3 gbs left when I should actually have another 6.

my understanding is the 13.3 is reported in binary, which means there's actually 15GB free in "normal" decimal calculation.
You're not "missing" any storage. Maybe you should take a screenshot and show us your storage menu.

and 1gb goes to app storage.

Screenshot as requested. If it helps there is actually an extra gb in the apps part because I keep modern combat 3 in titanium backup. But don't have it installed

Nope. The 2 Gb there is for the apks only. That's a hell lot of space. The data of games go to the SD Card anyway.

Awesome

actually when youve installed games and apps, data of it will be on the 25gb and not on the phone memory .

[Q] How much of your storage do you use on your HTC One??

Just curious as to how much storage you use on your HTC One's. I consider myself a heavy App user with light music storage on my phone. Here is my setup.
I use about 12.64GB of 32GB.
I have around 100 apps at 4.15GB.
Don't carry a lot of music since I use Spotify and have unlimited data. I have one album that Spotify doesn't carry, 251MB.
I take photos and videos here and there. I'm actually recording my daily drive to work, and have captured a few videos to showcase some crappy drivers in my city. I plan on making a compilation video once i have enough material. 0.89GB
Downloads are mostly wallpapers with a few apk's thrown in, 18.88MB.
Other Storage. This is where I believe the "Formatted" and "Android" are found. First off, a 32GB (and if someone knows the exact number, post it) is more like 30GB after being formatted, and another 1GB or so for the Android and Sense software, So after that 3GB of "dead space", there are about 4.34GB worth of "other files" that accumulate from all other apps. Data, updates, cache, ect.
Available is 19.36GB. I feel like it is not a whole lot of storage left on a 32GB phone, but it actually is. I had a nandroid back up (3GB), a rom zip file (800MB), and Real Racing 3 (1.5GB) that I have deleted to free up more space. I really enjoy Real Racing 3, so i will probably install it again and end up with about 17.86GB of free memory. If I had a 16GB iPhone 5s, I would be close to running out of storage with my use.
So, this is all after I ran SD Maid Pro on my phone and deleted duplicate files as well as other files that I did not need or want.
Feel free to share anything you want to about the storage of your HTC One.

I have about 15Gb used under other.......

i have a lot of music . im using 28 gig . I leave about 4 for backups and stuff .

Not too much
I use 15.4 GB, but I have a backup of a rom install, the rom itself, and about 6 gb of music.

I tend to keep a random 2 or 3 movies on my phone at a time along with all of my apps and music so I normally have anywhere from 6-8 gb left over. I try not to get below 3 gb available storage. I'm weird like that.

I have tried to move apps to external card. All I get is The device does not have a real primary external storage,
or the primary external storage is emulated.
Moving app to sd function cannot be supported by this device.
Rom Tool box says the same thing, moving to external not possible on this device.
My internal memory is approx 9GB free my external is approx 18GB free.
It also says system rom: 2.21 GB (297 MB free)
Internal and media: 11.8 GB (9.91 GB free)
I have just uninstall-ed around 20 apps, so I can now update the installed apps without problems.
Now I am going to re-install to see how far I get before it tells me "not enough space".
I have nearly triple the amount of apps on my galaxy S3 and never run out of space.
I just wanted to add. No problems with my 64GB SD card. I have 4500 music tracks on it as well as 4 movies and approx 2000 photos. All work without a hitch.
