I have just flash my stock rom 7.0 backup after formatting data partition from ext4 to f2fs and then i restore it but after this i dont know why...my internal memory shows 9GB used but in actual i have not that amount of data in my intetnal memory i thought that the twrp backup file that i have installed is remain undeleted in some partition but i can't find that file please help me to free up my internal storage.... I have tried to find the file through twrp file managed but unable to find that file....Help!
Stock rom uses 8 gb memory, you would have 23 gb space after first format. Is this you mentioned?
OMG lol i had the same question dude ( somewhere in the forums ) its normal dude. P2 by default has 8GB reserved.
I have found the solution actually the backup file that i have flashed remains in my internal memory....so due to this only 14.5 GB remain from 23 GB.....i just wiled out all iante6rnal storage and flashed the rom again via adb.... Now i have....19 GB free after installing all my apps including games....yhank you

Hi,
Just started to try out all the great custom roms on this site,
everythings ok except for one thing:
Internal memory after flash.
I see that other users are getting upp to 140MB after flash and reboot,
but im not even near that amount of memory, usually, im getting around
70-80 MB after flash, no matter which rom i flash.
(except for Pays roms where im getting around 135MB)
Am i missing something?
I always wipe everything before flash and always do a second reboot
after first initial setup.
Thanks
u must partition ur sd card to get full internal memory
with rom manager u can partition ur sd card but search and read before install

Ok, thanks
But, how come i can get +135MB using Pays rom but not others?
What differs?

Did you perform a full wipe of the caches before flashing each ROM?

Which ROM did you try that had low internal storage?
I know from personal experience, I had around 78 MB with DJ Droid's v1.0 R1 (BETA) release before installing the Apps2SD+ patch (not required now as v1.1 has it incorporated into the ROM), which increased the internal storage amount to from 78 MB to 142 MB.

I've tried them all, incl. DJ Droid's.
Only rom's that gives +135MB is Pay's and HTC stock.
I dont use APP2SD and i have not partitioned my sd card, is it required
to get full internal memory?
If yes, how come Pays and Stock HTC stock roms gives full internal
memory without partitioning the SD card?

Not too sure why you are getting more internal memory in Pays ROM...
Does his ROM have A2SD or A2SD+?
If it's just A2SD, then that only send apps to the SD card. With A2SD+, that keeps the apps the Dalvik cache on internal memory.
Some ROMs specifically state that you need an ext partition, and because you have not created one, that's is most likely why you are not seeing the 'true' amount of internal memory maybe? I would think for this reason, the Apps2SD script included into these ROMs expect you to create an ext partition otherwise it would not work as it should.
You can create a partition in ROM Manager and it is very easy to do, so i would suggest you try creating one, perform a full wipe, and then install a ROM again to see what it shows for the internal memory amount.

I think Pays roms have A2SD/A2SD+.
Ill create a partition and reflash different roms, ill be back with some results.
Thanks for the help
The reason your not getting FULL internal space is the dev's are not odexing the rom to help theme makers.
You do NOT need a ext partition at all.
I odex all the rom's I flash myself and have at least 120MB free internal space, I dont use a ext partition at all.
Please stop relying on EXT partitions and APPS2SD+ etc, it is not needed at all on a Froyo build.
Set Froyo's install location to Externel and move widgets back to internal, then you have as much space as you need.

and how do i odex the rom?? i dont want to use apps2sd and partition my sdcard
I'm just finishing off a script that will odex any none odexd apks in /system/app
Will get it posted today.
I have got the same problem too. After flashing a new custom rom I start with 25mb of internal storage.
I always perform a full wipe. But when I have installed the new rom, I still have history on my mobile. So it looks like the wipe does not perfom correct and stuff is left behind on the phone.
Hello development community
I'm currently running an CM 9 on an unlocked, rooted Wildfire S. A while ago I created a 4 GB partition in my SD card (Ext 2 format I believe) and set link2sd to install all new apps to this partition (this is the tutorial I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31544540 )
Anyway lately I've been having trouble installing new apps and larger updates (Facebook and DoubleTwist, namely) and my phone keeps telling me that I don't have enough memory. I tried wiping all my cache data and generally cleaning up, still no luck.
So I checked my storage usage in my settings, that's when things got interesting. My phone is telling me that I have 150 MB total of internal storage (which is how much there is without the partition), but somehow I have 229 MB used with 21.63 MB free. Doesn't take a mathematician to figure out that i can't be using 250 MB when there's only 150 MB to be had, however this 250 MB it's telling me I have is a lot less than the 4 GB of space I formatted and am linking everything too.
Does anyone know a way to get the phone to recognize the partition as internal space so it stops telling me I'm running out? I should be able to install any apps to my phone via my computer since they won't install directly from Google Play. Or is there a way I can set everything to just automatically install to the partition? That would solve my app installing problems but I might run into storage problems later on depending on how full my caches get. The more steps your give me the better, I'm still pretty new to this stuff :silly:
Thanks for any help!
PS. I checked some other threads but nothing I saw was helpful; so sorry if this is answered somewhere else, but I didn't find it.
After flashing rom did u flash the latest cronmod script

First of all, you can never use 4GB of your card as a partition Since there are some restrictions-- 100mb internal is needed for every 500mb sd-ext. We are getting around 100+ internal only for most of the ROMs , right? So you can use only around 600-700MB of the SD card as a partition.
Use min-partition tool and format your card and better make use of that card to the max. Format with ext4 (your choice) for around 700-800MB (Since 1/2/3/4GB is totally useless considering the above restriction) . After that, download and place this on SD card .
Before we go any further make sure that there are no scripts already loaded in that ROM you are using. (Apps2SD, Link2SD, etc). You need to have init.d support to make this work. This , you can verify by opening the ROM zip package and follow the path - system/etc . If you see a "init.d" folder there, then you have this support. All CM9 ROMs have this (I believe). So, now you make sure that the ROM whichever you are trying doesn't have any link2sd or apps2sd pre-loaded in it.
Then do the following.
* Put both the ROM and INT2EXT file on the SD card.
1- Goto Recovery.
2- Wipe Dalvik Cache, Battery Stats (Twice - Just to make sure )
3- Factory reset , Wipe Cache partition (Twice)
4- 'Choose zip from SD card' and select your ROM. Wait until it has finished installation.
5- Once Finished, again 'Choose zip from SD card' and flash/install the INT2EXT file that you have already placed on SD card.
6- Once done, reboot the phone. Goto settings->Apps and check if you have 'added' memory now
7- Go to recovery again and Flash GAPPS.
You are all set to Rock and Roll
Check this if you need more information
Hey, this will give you better space manipulation than the Link2SD, but still this is also limited to use, You can't fill all the internal memory. That will considerably lag your phone. Use the internal memory wisely
I guess this helps. And don't forget to thank "croniccorey" for his work
Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much for the post! I know it's been a while since the OP, but this worked perfectly! My phone now tells me that I have 705MB of internal storage. I believe all my problems have now been solved. I literally can't say "Thank you" enough!
Flashed slimbean via freegee/cwm. All works fine however, the available memory shows ~20GB with a total of 23GB. The 23GB is the same as what was available with the stock firmware.
Should I have increased my memory due to slimbean being much smaller than the stock?
Or is this a case of the locked bootloader and the original rom still taking up its own space and I just boot into slimbean due to loki, thus I only have the 23GB to work with to put a ROM on and apps, etc.?
Thanks.
think I figured out the issue. . .
To answer my own question, possibly. I need to format system in cwm if I want the old ROM gone, but is that ok to do on the OGP?
formating system + works
after more reading, for anyone else who is curious, I found that formatting some of the partitions is required. If you are on stock and don't format anything and install a new rom, that rom will be put in a new folder which will take away ~3GB of space. After formatting a few of the partitions the new ROM installed properly and I have back the 23.3GB of space.
Just installed CM 11 which is about 210MB (as a zip file).
According to my phone, the internal storage is only 5.41GB. I would have expected something like 8GB-5%. I dont know wthether it's always been like this...
Any ideas, explanation etc?
It's because of the partitons of your phone
It's still the same as stock the advantage is that you can put more mods or apps into /system
System partition is 1.5gb mine with all gapps installed is 800mb free
that's where yoor missing space is

Hi,
I just installed Cyanogenmod 12 into my HTC Desire 816 , for flashing I used TWRP. So the whole proccess was as follows:
1)Install CM via TWRP
2)Reinstall CM and GAAPS
Everything works fine and dandy but I have one big problem. My internal storage only shows 4gb of total space, from which I have only like 1GB of free space available. The phone originally came with 8gb of internal storage, and is just after I did this that it was reduced. I did clean up all the Dalvik cache, I also tried doing a new factory reset, but still it's showing only 4gb.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The phone shows 8 gb but half of that is taken up by the factory OS and empty space allocated for future updates in a seperate partition and the rest is system apps . I actually gained storage space in the partition with the remaining storage after flashing CM so I'm not really sure what's going on with your device but low storage space is just a known issue with this device. Obtain S off thru the Sunshine app ($25) or install a write permission script mod for your particular firmware called a WP_MOD.ko I believe here on XDA and then install Link2SD and get the paid version that allows you to move app data to external SD card then partition the ext SD card using a partition manager exe program on your computer following the Link2SD instructions and you will gain all the extra storage space you will need. I did true S off because I wanted to keep my SE Linux permissions set to enforcing not permissive which the write permission mod does but to each his own.
