I have yet to unlock the bootloader and have decided to see what happens first. But i did root my play.
But as per the title, how much space is to little.
So the space i'm referring to is the 400 mb of internal storage.
I have remove alot of apps and ringtones to free up space. Well i can't seem to get more than 60 mb of free space on the internal flash drive.
So my question for everyone is have you been able to free up more space? and if so how did you do it.
Oh yeah, i have also moved all my apps to the sd card, well all the apps that thr app lets me.
Search & read my friend, this topic has been run over more times than a flat cat.
For starters any apps or data you remove from /system/ will not effect your internal storage, because it is a diffrent partition to the /data/ partition, the latter being your internal storage, i have 300 apps on my fone and just under 100mb and we do not get 400mb of internal storage, that is just the total, after a clean install you get about 230-240mb

Hello there! I've got a question. Is there a way to resize an internal SD patition that is used for app installation? It's WAY too big, i'm not shure if i ever installed 800 mb of apps, so more than 1,2 gb of SGS's memory is just being unused and inaccesible in any way. I wish i could format everything and make that there will be a 800mb partition for apps and 6,67gb (i've got 8gb model, so there is only 5,47 gb available space on internal SD) for my data (game cache files, photos, videos, dictionaries, whatnot).
Oh, ferk. I've forgot that there is an Q&A section. Oh well. Whatever, anyway.

Hi all,
Just after installing custom rom aokp on my phone, the /system was showing free space of 4 mb only (w/o installation of any additional apps). To install Google Now , there should be free space of atleast 90mb on /system.
Therefore, in a bid to increase the space, i got a 2gb external card. In one of the articles on net, it showed increasing the space on sd card (through SD card partitioning via Rom Manager). I though that this would make my EXT-SD a part of the internal storage and help increase the space on /system. However, after following the procedure, the space on my internal storage reduced from 1.7 gb to 480 mb while USB storage increased from 5.7 gb to 7.4 gb.While it did nothing to the EXT-SD.
Now can anyone please tell me a way to Reverse it and also how to increase the space on /system to install Google Now.
Apart from this i tried APP2SD to make space on internal storage (as it mentions "MOVE TO EXTERNAL SD") it also does not move the apps to EXT-SD, rather it moves to USB Storage w/o creating space on /system.
Please help.

jonny789 I would love to know how you managed that if you are properly using Link2SD - just how many apps have you got installed?!
If you partition the SD using CWM recovery and choose 1024mb and 0mb at the two options (after backing up all data to the pc of course!) then reboot the phone when you open Link2SD it should ask you to confirm the type (EXT2/3/4 or FAT etc) - I pick EXT3 or 4 cos sometimes one won't work and I get an error so just use the other.
You will now have a second (hidden) partition and if you set your default save location to "External" all the apps you install will go to the main partition on the SD card. From there you can move them to internal storage (widgets, system apps like keyboards etc) or (preferably) link files to SD which will move a good chunk of the data to that hidden partition.
I have never come even close to using that 1gb of extra app storage and my internal memory is currently 61% free (73.04mb used, 117mb free). Of course lots of games and apps work just fine from the external storage anyway so you can just leave them there instead of linking them - really it is up to you.
The other way to use link2SD to free up internal memory is the system apps - you can uninstall a fair few of these to free up system memory which you can then use by converting non-system apps to system ones - this moves them from the "internal memory" to the "system memory" and hey presto you have more internal available. NOTE: Uninstalling system apps can bugger up your phone - search and read about it before you do this!
If you have already tried all of this then I apologise and humbly ask you to post a list of your installed apps so that we may all wonder at just how you managed to use all that internal memory lol

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...

Hello |
After installing custom rom , and making a nandroid backup of original rom (without app installed) , I was left with 800 mb
free on the internal memory.
How can i gain more memeory?
To flash again and wipe internal storage as well ?
Thanks.
Your backup is probably taking up significant space, possibly several gigabytes. Look in the TWRP directory and copy the backups off the device and delete them from the device (or better yet, just backup to an SD card). Otherwise to go Settings - Storage and tap Internal Storage and see what is taking up the space, and delete as necessary, pay attention to Cached data space, that can easily grow to several gigabytes as well, tapping that will prompt you delete all app cache data which is generally safe to do.
Will wiping internal storage help? lol... yes, of course it will if your space is used up by files in internal storage.
Thanks
Even after moving backup to external sd. There is only 4 GB free, out of 16 GB. App is about 2 GB .
It seems strange ........
