Using DiskUsage I have found that I have 1559MB used in /Data/System data. I've tried to browse /data but there doesn't appear to be anything in there. Also my friend's N1 is only using 157.9MB. Is this a virtual drive of some sort?
Perhaps the size of this file/directory is related to lag on the samsung galaxy s?

Nope, you don't need to be rooted for it to work

So just now gallary and videos app stopped finding files on my sd card but when I use a file explorer everything is there? I tried uninstalling and installing the gallary app again but that didn't help. Has anyone ever had this issue? I'm trying to dogde reflashing my rom... it seems the problem is media scanner doesn't run because when I rebooted my phone it didn't show up at first like it always does.

Try using an app like QuickPic and see if they show up. If they don't, make sure the folders containing you media aren't hidden (have a "." at the beginning of the folder name). Also check to make sure somehow there wasn't a .nomedia file placed in there somewhere.
If none of those work, time to reflash.

I haven't tried it but believe that QuickPic would work because the stock video app doesn't find any files but mobo player still works normally. I'm just having problems with media scanner not running. Any app which I could refresh or rescan from within the app finds all my stuff but any app that depends on media scanner doesn't find anything. Idk why media scanner won't run though. Its not that big of a problem but I may have to reflash.
Thanks though =).

Is there a system app that has to do with media scanner? Because I believe I may have uninstalled it or replaced it with an older version that isn't working anymore. I was working on a port of the Epic Dark Horse theme and I didn't pay that much attention to what are the app files already in it. It may have had an older media scanner app that doesn't work on my phone now when I flashed it. That's like the only thing I can possibly think of that messed up media scanner. Is there such an app?

My question is: I usually delete apps like this: in app manager:wipe cache,wipe data,uninstall
This way,The app will totally be deleted?I mean no junk files,no system files,no hidden files will be left from the app?
That's what I do. However there usually send to be done stuff left behind.
So I just go thru every now and then and get rid of it.
Idk why it does not go 100% away.

I would like to know the best way to do this as well. Lite Flow left all kinds of information on my phone after deleting it, including access to pretty much all the information on my phone. Is there a way, after the fact, to clear all of its data from my phone?

Have you tried any file explorer ?
I use es explorer to delete system files.
Haven't checked it that it completely deletes the file or not.

My phone is rooted and I have es explorer; the problem is that I have no clue where that kind of information is stored on Android (Like in Windows I know it would pretty much all be in the Program Files directory and in the Registry. If data is stored similar to my Linux desktops, then the information can be all over the place and not consistent from program to program).
EDIT: I contacted the developer and he told me what directory to delete, and that fixed the problem.
I have a certain folder with "only for my eyes" content that I have always had hidden by using a . Before the folder. (.folder) I come from an S3 so I had a microsd card which I sorry miss but I had transferred everything without issue but once I added a new photo too the folder it now shows up in my gallery. Resetting the cache on gallery and reboot has not helped.
Any help you guys can offer?

Try creating a blank file .nomedia inside the folder. Then the Gallery wont read it.

Thanks but that didn't do it unfortunately. A reset of the gallery and a reboot got rid of the new photo. But once I put a new one in there it again appeared in gallery.

using the stock gallery? why not long press and hit hidden folders.. you can then hide it.

^^^ What he said. But still, strange that the .nomedia trick didn't work. Worked on mine. But I haven't added any new pics to the folder, though
Hello!
Is there a way to set external SDCARD as default storage globally in i9300 running stock 4.3?
Not in each application separately?
Thanks!
I think you must set on each app......

Can anyone confirm?
No kind of workaround script?
I believe there once was a script to swap ext for internal, but given the fragile partition structure on these phones it didn't prove popular.
If you search you will find it, but I wouldn't advise using it.

There is a working script for CM11.why don't you use apps from googleplay like foldermount it is a good app, you can mount your apps and games to sdcard
