OP updated, please refer to it.....

Thanks man! Worked like a charm here. I hope it's better for slow 3G networks this time around. Ever since version 3.X.X it's impossible to use the Market with slow 3G.

You can just install it as a normal apk, that way you can revert back to the previous market, or if you have titanium backup, once you install it normally, use the integrate update into rom function.
Simple

Thanks for the share, able to install as like a normal app. I can see speed improvements as well as some extra settings like auto update apps

Nice one works like a charm!

Installed like a charm. Working quite nicely too.
Also, For those who dont wish to go through the hassle of assiging permissions. Not that it is hard, that is the best part. But for those afraid to break something I have an an alternative method of installing, you can install the update apk as a regular app and use Titanium Backup to convert to a "user app" and reconvert it to a "system app" and the update will be applied into the system. Please note this is only for owners of Titanium Backup PRO. And I also recommend making a backup of your current market file. Can never be too safe

I have a problem. Nothing displays in "My Apps" item when i choose it. Network or Market app problem? Pls, help!

just install like normal apk
and use less storage !!!

[Recovery] Unofficial CWM Recovery Touch v6.0.1.0 for u8800pro&u8800

Original Thread:click me!​
bronxitas said:
I take no responsibility for any harm that comes to your phone as a result of applying this mod.
CWMR Touch V6.0.1.0 with 3.0.8 kernel, adb work perfect, no need to reboot recovery for SD card mount.
Installation Instructions:
Unplug any usb connection and turn the phone completely off
Whilst holding both the volume + and volume - keys hold the power button to turn the device on. Let go when you see a pink/purple screen.
Attach the usb cable to your computer and wait until a few usb mass storage devices are detected and mounted. Look for one that has just one directory called 'image' in it. Navigate into this directory and you'll see recovery.img etc.
(optional) Rename recovery.img to recovery_backup.img
copy the new recovery.img to image, unmount the mass storage device (safely remove in windows) and then pull the battery out to turn the phone off.
Hold volume + and power to boot to recovery.
Install any custom rom

Note to everyone - I'm almost sure the backups made with this cwm are not compatible with older versions... the folder structure of the backups in the sdcard is very different from backups from previous cwm versions... but I'm not 100 % sure, it might be the case that older versions recognize the new folder structure as well, but I didn't test this yet.

Yes, I mentioned this too. And worse thing is that the backups aren't compressed, so they take double space on card that the tar archives.

Nanroid backup takes a backup of all parts of the rom, so after another rom flashed you can return the device in the same state was before. I don't think that there is an app to do this.

open better terminal emulator then type su then press enter. then type as2d cachesd then enter and wait until it reboot.

Avoid using a2sd.it reduces the life of your sd card.
Use link2sd.
Repencis 3.5 very well supports link2sd.
Ext4 partition is very good and fast. Easier too.

Are you using CWM and if you do, what version are you using?
When I just got the phone, I had the same problem as you after I install a buggy version of CWM. Basically CWM made a backup to some folder that there's no way for you, CWM, or the system to tell where the heck it is.
I got rid of that by restoring my phone to stock then started using TWRP (try it, you'll like it)
Edit: Also, look at /data instead of /sdcard
/sdcard is an emulated folder, /data is more accurate since it's where stuffs are actually stored.

thats HUGE for system data. i only have 270MB used for it

Yeah I did but that was so long ago.. It could be that I guess. You suggest erasing the whole thing and restoring my apps?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Well, I got that back in CWM 6.0.1.6, which is like a month a go. A life time for the Nexus 4. There is a way to trace these folders using ADB, but I wiped my entire phone before I read the post so I don't know if the method works.
What I did was wiping everything (including system) then restore to stock. It was a little bit overdone, I guess restore to stock would do the trick. Just remember to back up /sdcard to your computer.
Edit: I was so annoyed by that wasted 1.7MB that I basically nuked the phone lol

If you are rooted and have adb set up on your computer, you can find out what folders are using the most space by using the commands below, then change into that directory and run the command again.
Code:
adb
su
cd /
du -hd 1
--find the largest folder and change directory (cd) into it - if you find you no longer want to continue in the folder you are in, you can cd .. to get to the previous folder or cd / to get back to the root of the filesystem--
Code:
cd large_folder
du -hd 1
rinse
repeat
????

This will allow you to find what folders are using the most space and can eventually lead you to any large files and can then let you find out if you can delete them or if you need to keep them.

So is it safe to assume that the space is from backups? I posted my situation here

There didn't seem to be a clear answer here so :
System data is the space taken up by files outside of the special sdcard directory.
Android is treating the emulated SD card as being 8Gb/16Gb (- the hidden partitions) and not taking into account space taken up by files outside of the special directories.
In the Settings > Storage screen you will also notice that the free space and used space do not add up, this difference is the 'system data'.
Apps from Google and those with root access commonly write to directories outside of the sdcard.
Google Music is particularly guilty of taking up space without reporting it properly, from the Settings > Apps menu you can see how much space the music application is taking up, and clear it if desired.
Backups are also likely to be eating a large amount of that space, from CWM or TWRP or another source.
These are outside of the sdcard to prevent you from accidentally deleting them.
They can normally be move/removed from within the application that made them, or with a root file manager.
You probably want to keep some working backups, I generally store them on a cloud service or external disk with only the latest on the phone.
You will not get the 'system data' down to 0 as some space is for actual system files, you should be able to get it below 500Mb easily, or just be happy once you know where the space has gone.
I hope that helped.

Life saver because I was just going nuts. Finally I can go back to watch the Pats/Broncos

Here is something I've done just FYI. I am running Beans build 2 and I've been tinkering with different things. Once I've seen that everything has been running good and I have everything flashed that I like then I made a nandroid and then I flashed it on my stock ROM slot. Once I did that I still noticed that I only had 4gb left on internal, I went into ROM slot 1 and deleted, not just wipe. Same on ROM slot 2. I now show 14gb of internal memory thru my standard settings. Everything is still running fine as well.

This is normal. It has to do with the way the partitions are created. First time I seen it I was confused as well. If you boot to Stock your storage space will read normal or as someone else said use a file manager to see how much space is left. Mine currently says I have 2gb of free space left when I have more like 20.

Normally this wouldn't bother me... But I am getting out of space errors. Yesterday I couldn't even stream Google music until I deleted the cached data.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I took a capture of my storage and gave some details. The key is to start with a large slot. Think of it as your sandbox. The larger you make it the more you can put into it. If I remember right I did 4 gigs for data. The slot acts like a mini internal drive. It includes the custom rom the apps and data. You could save space by moving apps and downloads to the ext sd card or other parts of the internal drive. The apps would need to be done by normal means in settings so you don't loose functionality. Downloads and other files by way of root explorer.

I bumped my data storage up to 4gb....however, is there a way to get it even higher? I stream google music all day long at work, so my cache is a bit of a space hog. Plus I like to have my phone stocked full of all kinds of apps.

In regards to the size I think that is set in stone. It's larger than what we had in on the Bionic. I would defer that to Hashcode's expertise.
With Google music it says it only uses space as it is available. In the app you can clear the cache or uncheck the cache. If you want to personally delete the files they can be found through root explorer:
/datamedia user 0 comgoogleandroidmusic files music
each file is 6 to 15 mbs. there can delete the select ones you want. If someone was good at scripts you can probably funnel that folder to your SD card.

Hey I found this on Beans tonight . It's in exposed under download section. I don't Know if it will work but you might want to give it a try.
