Trouble after trying Swap CM11 using scripts

Few days ago I tryied to increase the 4.4 gb of memory of my CM11 grand duos using a script of a CM 11 S duos (that worked for that phone) and SURPRISE... now my system recognize 2 sd cards: sdcard0 and sdcard1. Because of that any stuff I try to install directly in sd card goes to internal memory and I get to transfer it manually to the correct SD Card. I would like to some gentlemen help me with sending the original script (the one that when you make the change for swapping) for starting from zero, I mean to let it the way it have to be (or the way Developer want it to be)! Thank you all very much!!

Low Ram Problem

Hello !
I have a question for you guys.
I have bought a SD card to my phone. Total space is 7.39gb but although i have moved apps to the SD card there is still available space 7.35gb.
Then the phone can all of a sudden tell me that SD card is full ??
The phones storage is the following:
1.SD CARD
total space 7.39gb
available space 7.35gb
2. USB STORAGE
1.10gb
available space 590mb
3. SYSTEM STORAGE
available space 0.97gb
Is there something i can do ?
I really appreciate the help !

did u try mount/unmount sd card or a factory reset ??

I have formatted the phone but i have never formatted the internal memory or sd-card, should i maybe
I unmounted the sd-card , turned off the phone, restarted and put the sd-card back but it doesnt help or what should it do
Sorry my stupid questions but this is my first android so please be patient with me thanks

Maybe the problem is from the rom or check if ur sdcard is not protected in write (can be done on pc) if not u can format the phone ,the internal sd card and external sd card and if the problem occurs then u have to change the rom maybe it's time to jelly bean or even kitkat !! and I think u'll not have to upgrade ur rom because I think that formating all ( phone, int.sdcard ,ext.sdcard ) will solve the problem ...
I'm waiting for ur answer or if u decide to upgrade I can helpu then

Thanks for your reply !
How do i check if the sdcard is not protected in write ? I have an 8GB SanDisk Ultra card.

Another problem , i have had problem with moving pictures/videos to the SD-card so there have been pictures/videos in both the default storage and on the SD-card.
Now i managed to move them all to the SD-card with this link http://www.smartmobilephonesolution...res-samsung-android-smartphone-to-memory-card
Then i checked the default storage where i click the Gallery icon and they were still there so i deleted them all. Now they are all gone, also from the SD-card !

Zenfone 2 Storage problem - what to do ? :(

Hello,
Im experiencing really weird problem that never happened to me and now Im trying to find a solution but I cant find anything and I dont really want to format my phone because it would solve this problem only for some time.
The problem Im experiencing is regarding to my storage / sd card.. when I install any app it will make folder on my phone storage and not on SD Card even tho I selected to install apps on my SD Card. Another problem is that when I try to move that file that is placed in my phone storage to my SD Card then it wont clear any space from phone storage but the file is gone - and then when I run the app it says that I need to download additional datas and when I press download data it just say that my storage is full and I got 45gb free SD card and almost full phone memory even when I moved 1,5GB file to sd card .. I really dont know what to do..
Im also adding screenshot of my used space where you can clearly see that my apps on phone memory got 4GB and other files got around few hundred mbs but my free space is ONLY 500 MB and graph showing I should have around 6GB of free space..
Thanks for any help
EDIT: Im not rooted and running latest stock ROM

What app are you trying to delete the files in? Doesn't it have trash or something?

It doesnt matter what application Im trying to move (Im not uninstalling them or deleting) its happening to every app.

Anyone please?

i got this concern too. i want to install large games with obb files, but even if i transfer manually the obb files to ext sd/android/obb folder the game always says "download additional files" . in short the game can't find or locate the obb file due to some limitation on ext card permissions to read and write. im not sure on other devices. but i do believe thats how default android system is. :crying:
Correct me if im wrong but i guess the only solution here is to root our zf2 and install folder mount . forgive me for my first post. newbie here

well.. first of all u must know this fact that there are only few apps are present which can install on sd cards.. 90% of apps are developed to install on internal storage, if u will move them to sd card, they will not run.. and copying appdata files directly frm file explorer never solves this problem.. it will eat ur double space only.. there is specific way of doing this.. but only for those which supports installlation on sd card.
now ur problem of space, just clean ur junkfiles.. use xplore file explorer, enable 'show hidden files' and check one by one that which folder and file is eating ur storage.
if it doesnt work.. only last option is hard reset from stock recovery.

What is the main difference between internal storage and sd card? I dont get it why it shouldnt also work from the sd card.. and I was told by others that if I root my phone and download specific app / change settings I will be able to install to my sd card too. I was also normally installing my stuff on sd card when I had previous phone with 4.2 Android. With all these things I really shouldnt buy 128gb card that cost me 40€ because there is 95% of free space and I cant move anything (applications) to it.

yeah.. during 4.4 time.. apps were sd card freindly, but nowdays its rare.. bcoz every app developer is in race of superiority.. internal sd gives better r/w speed, and its not removable so that app can run 24/7 on your device.. dats y they make apps to install on sd.
dont get dissappointed.. your problem is solved in andoid 6.0 marshmellow, it gives u option of using external sd card as phone's internal storage. as soon as u insert the sd card.. it will ask you that how to use it.. as a portable storage or as a internal storage..
So plz go get buy 128 gb ssd.

your phone may be full of junks.. plz make backup of your important data.. hard reset it.. hard reset is required evry 3-4 months. just do it.. it wil solve ur problem.. other wise if u are rooted then get the root explorer and delete the un necessary files from root.

Oh thats great that Android 6 will make my sd card work again. But now there is that issue that Asus is working so slowly on Android 6 :<

is there a "trash" folder? every time i delete things, they disappear, but the space doesnt free up. i also have the same problem as the original poster: my apps and all files only take up about 6.5 Gb, but my free space is only 800Mb out of 11.5Gb...i downloaded "diskusage" and it shows 4.9Gb of "system files" but i cant find them using my file manager or storage screen (this is in addition to the 4.6 Gb of "system reserved" space)
I tried to show hidden files and found a ".trash" folder, but there isnt anything in it

use ES file explorer , it has a feature to find all junk. Also ZF2 is not deleting files from gallery , it stores them in .trash. Check that too.
