I flashed a ROM and now i look at internal memory and it says available space 11MB and i don't have any apps installed. It used to say 89MB free. Are there apps or something hidden that i can delete to get more internal memory back on my phone? Please and thank you.

I just wiped my phone and see all of my apps there because I installed them before to my sdcard.
But when I go to the Market, they are no longer in "my downloads." So... how do I know if an update comes out for them?
Thanks.
Do you use aTrackDog?
No. I don't know what That is...
I reccomed reinstalling all your apps as you may have an issue with running them properly. If you paid for an app you can download it again and they will show up in your "my downloads" atrackdog is a 3rd party program that will check for up dated versions of your apps by using a p2p like protocal. It works for apps that you have that are not on the market like wireless tether and g-arcade.
But really reinstall all your apps. Use atrackdog. You can manage them from there.
Just wondering... Won't this happen every time I wipe then? The apps still show up in the "drawer" where all the apps usually are, just not in the marketplace. So... if this does happen everytime you wipe (the phone, ), then what's the whole point of apps2sd? Please clarify. Thank you.
The point is to free up the phones internal memory and keep it from lagging when the free memory gets below 20mb. Also a sdcard class 6 is slightly faster than the internal memory. Besides would you rather have 80 megs total to download programs or 500 megs?I wouldn't want to have to uninstall last.tm to play a game
I get that... but... if I wipe the phone, the apps will show up again once I put the new rom on it. However, there's no way to check if the apps have been updated by the developer since your downloads no longer show up in the market's "my downloads." So... Is there a way to fix that or a way around that..?
Currently there is no known workaround
Use atrackdog. Its available in the market. It won't auto notify you. Personally I run it every few days and it works great. If an update is available you can go directly to the programs market page and install the update.
Edit: you can always reinstall them
start all over i guess.. i do this all the time just to try a rom
format Fat32/Ext2 both it will format installed apps.. ur paid apps will be there regardless
wipe
flash the build
set-up app2sd before installing ur apps
then start serching all the apps u had
yea its alot of work but atleast i see my apps updates
I did this (but didn't start downloading apps yet) and for internal storage in settings>sdcard/storage, it shows internal storage free space is 840mb. Is that normal? Its just reading my ext3 partition as the internal storage,right? I did NOT set up apps2sd files or anything yet, but when I installed one app I looked at the free space again and it went down under "internal storage" instead of sd card. That would be normal EXCEPT for the fact that the internal storage free space is showing 800 something megabytes...
PLEASE HELP- Thanks!

Its a bug in the build. As long as you have a ext2-3 partition. Any Rom that is a2sd enabled should see it automagically.
You did nothing wrong. Install any app and look in your system/sd/app folder and see if it is there. If its a paid app? Check system/sd/app-private
Thanks man- I really appreciate it. So far out of a many responses over many threads, you're the only one to give a response.

I recommend using the app -BackUp For Root Users- before wiping and flashing a new rom. On the second page is an option to backup and restore your Market Database file. I assume you can probably back up the same file using Terminal but I'm no expert on it, nor do I know the location of the Android Manifest file. If you save this file and restore it after a fresh install it will restore your My Downloads section in the Market and thus show you when updates are available.
As for currently, you'll have to reinstall your apps from the market first.
Hello, im an owner of a EU Leo, and I just installed some roms that have sense included in them on NAND, so I need A2SD...
Everything was smooth an i moved all apps that can be moved to SD and rebooted for the first time.. Then BAM! You wait for a little and only 24 apps recover out of 60, all the other apps are GONE! can anyone please help me to avoid this?
This is the ROM I'm currently using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954369 (however, its not the first rom that made this happen)
Thank you!
P.S The apps arent completely gone, if you go to application you can see they are on sd but they have a long name small memory taken and an Micro SD card icon instead of their icon..
Why are you moving them??
That rom aswell as majority of others use a partition on your sd card and automatically move the apps or data there for you. You have absolutely no need to move them at all.
Just partition your sdcard with CWM, 1GB and then 0MB swap.
Hmmm, I move them to get more space shouldnt I? I partitioned it with 1GB ext3 primary and thats all I did, then i revcovered with titanium backup and installed App2SD from he market to give me a notification for every app installed on internal memory to move it to sd, and I move them! Plz correct my actions!
will any1 plz reply?

They should automatically be moving to sd-ext. They will likley be showing as internal as teh sd-ext will be reporting as internal memory. When you move them you are probably breaking them.
Start over, Install some apps then reboot device and check your internal or sd-ext storage space via Titanium and see what it says.
My Atrix is with the stock rom and bootloader locked.
When I open Titanium Backup it shows me:
Memory ROM: 334 MB (9.34 MB free)
Internal: 2.11 GB (1.49 GB free)
SD: 11.5 GB (10.9 GB free)
I'm not sure due to the low MEMORY ROM, that when I try to install any app it returns me insufficient space message.
My doubt is to know the difference between the memory ROM and RAM memory, and if there is any way to increase the free memory that is shown in Titanium.
The ROM memory is for the ROM. it has nothing to do with apps you install. It's like drive C for windows, anything else you install is installed on a different partition. In the case of the Atrix that would be the 2GB internal memory.

I have lucky patcher.
Do you talk to I update Titanium or Luck Patcher?
This is going to resolve the question about memory Rom?

Other than that 2GB would act as memory like your "SD card" I guess.
Hello,something is eating my internal memory,i have 1.51 gig left.Is there something i can remove or check this somewhere.
Any help is welcome
Backups and/or Dropbox
Try diskusage app to see a more detailed info of your internal Sd space.

I do not have backups on my internal memory and no dropbox?
When I connect my phone to the computer i can not see any strange thing.
Can I format my internal memory without any problems?
Did you install and check with DiskUsage as andymihail suggested?
A beautifully elegant and simple interface that will instantly tell you what is using your memory. And it's free...
check size of

Hello,did a full wipe and install all things i had,now i have 7.99 gig free space??
Iam happy
I am getting this message and it takes me to my storage via Settings. The main culprits appear to be Apps (consuming 3.57 GB) and Miscellaneous ( consuming 9.16 GB). Have not encountered this before so wondering what is recommended to do next to resolve this (besides just deleting apps). I have a SD card a LOT of unused space (about 60 GB).
The user usable storage space of the internal memory is 9 GB on the S4 16 GB version.
So I assume you have a 32 GB version?
Otherwise what you're saying - about miscellaneous using 9 GB and data 3 GB - doesn't make sense.
My idea would be to wipe the internal storage.
The device memory shows 16 GB. I installed a card which is what I was referring to with the additional storage. How do you wipe the internal storage and won't that negatively impact other things?

How you wipe it depends on the recovery you're using.
Some apps store data on the internal memory, so that will get wiped, and everything on the internal memory with it.
ROM and user installed apps are stored on a different partition, so they should be safe.
So based on what you said, I'm not feeling comfortable the wiping the internal memory is such a good idea. Is there a more strategic, selective way to go about this rather than a broad-brush wipe and risk losing stuff or functions?

I just offered you an easy way.
The alternative is to go through each folder, see what it contains and delete unnecessary stuff.
You could always try SDMaid available on the play store
Edit....you *are* rooted right?
