OS Occupied space too high. Please help! :'( - Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers

As you can see my OS Occupied size is very very big (8.13gb) . It's not a ROM related problem as i've tried many ROMs and but the size remains same.
What i believe is the reason is my fked up partitions. (ext4 + fat = both combined = 8gigs).
Any way to fix this? Any way to restore my old P2 like literally everything including partitions and there size etc.?
Where could i locate these 8gigs of files? :silly:

That is the standard partition for the OS, no changes possible or needed.

OMG i didn't knew that i always thought it was 4gigs or something, but why this much? like is it really required? 8gigs is too big imo.

32GB are real ~29,8GB which you can use. On your picture you have ~24GB free space. So 29,8GB - (~) 24GB = 5,8GB
Can you follow..?
Thats normal on android devices except you want to complain about ±500mb or something like that.

I think on the GNex the whole SD card can be used for installing apps. Google did this on purpose to cope with the "Not enough free space to install" issues one had on other handsets.
Are you on Stock ROM?
Stock Rom, I thought that was the case as well, I think I may have found the problem might be to do with restricting background data? will test and see.
Go to Settings -> Apps -> Market -> Clear Data. Try again. It's a bug likely.
There was an "out of memory" issue on Honeycomb tablets which required a device wipe to correct. I hope you get this resolved. I'd hate for this bug to be in ICS.

a2sd/data2sd priority method

I understand that NAND is more rapid than sd card and differences between a2sd method, like the picture report in Amarullz thread.
I wonder if exist a method to give priority to some apps rather than others in internal storage.
I mean: for example, suppose that I have 50 apps but I frequently use 10, might be more performant put 3rd part App data and APK (and dalvik if is possible to separate it) of theese 10 apps in NAND and other datas of the other ones in SD card?
Maybe this requires also a GUI to choose apps, I can't imagine what it takes this. Sorry, maybe this idea is absurd, I don't know about programming, it's just.. an idea.

Does link2sd do that? Not sure..
https://market.android.com/details?...?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5idWFrLkxpbmsyU0QiXQ..
Think so..
Im not sure what Amarulz is stating system apk's are in those pictures, but to me they are always on NAND, so those pictures are probably specific to one of those sense roms for cm7 that have to export system app to ext to fit....
Thanks, I didn't know about this. I will try it and post my impression.

[Q] How much space does the OS take up?

Quick random question, but how much space would you say does Android 4.3 take up on this? I calculated about 3.2 GB. Is that right?
These are reserved sizes (MB is base 2, ie MiB), unless otherwise noted
Bootloader(s) 12MB
Kernel 16MB
Recovery 10MB
System 827MB (591MB used for JSS15J)
Cache 551MB
1416MB total reserved.

Those are the partition sizes (except for the /system usage # which is the actual Android OS size)
I didn't include /data because that gets populated upon initial install with user data. While there are some technically OS files stored there, most of /data is going to be related to apps and data created after you start using the phone.

[Q] some doubts with my new device :D (ram & mass memory, camera)

Hi guys
I bought this phone recently and I have probably what may seem silly doubts. They are about Ram memory and Mass storage memory amounts.
The phone it's supposed to come with 1 GB of Ram memory and 4 GBs of mass memory. But when I mess around with the pone I see different things:

Why just 723 mb of ram -mostly taken by the system lol. So where is the rest?
Other thing. Could someone upload any picture made with captivate's cam. Cause I've been taking around some photos and quality it's a bit crapy, I'd say it's even worse than my old N95, even with a higher resolution sensor. It's a pity I guess. Im afraid that this is not a "front line model" in shops so it carries worse guts within than other models like s3, s4.
I'll upload later some pics made by the cam.
By the way, I haven't found how to access mass memory with USB cable. I've read that you need to be root to do it in 4.xx and install some sort of software.
WTF IS THIS. IOS? Come on

maximum usage of the ram

I heard a story that op3 does not use the complete ram of 6gb. After hitting 4 gb mark it starts to kill background applications. Is it true?. Then we have a 4 gb of ram instead of 6gb is this right
You are probably thinking of this:
ro.sys.fw.bg_apps_limit=60
Resurrection remix use 60 apps in memory now. The last time, Oneplus was using 42 with stock rom. The line can be found in the build.prop file in /system
i have yet to hit the 3gb mark, dunno what 6gb should be good for other than manually increasing the max apps in background

Goodluck with reaching 4GB even with all apps open I'm below that! There is no memory problem.

It´s possible to pass 4GB used.
