Hi, I have a question, what is the best way to format a micro SD 16 GB for use in my POV Mobii Tablet 10.2 Tegra2?
Let me explain a bit more: When I go into recovery mode system found in the advanced options the option to partition and format the micro sd, I created a partition of 4096 mb partition for applications and a 256 MB cache, leaving the rest as storage, but i do not know if this configuration is correct, I would like to know or opinion, thanks in advance.
What?
4096 MB for apps is overkill!
Yes, I know Google just put the bar for max app size from 50 MB to 4096 MB, but I really doubt there will be such a big app.
I would recommend 2048 MB.
I have around 300 MB apps on my tablet and 1200 MB on my phone.
And I think it would be overkill if you would have for 1200 MB of installed apps/games on this tablet.
You have done it right but as yani has said 4 gig is too big.
Moving apps to the second partition on the SD card only moves part of the app and some apps cant be moved, so even if you move every app you can you will fill the internal storage (300Mb on ICS) before you get anywhere near filling 4 gigs on your SD card. A more realistic size is 2048Mb.

Do Xperia Neo ownwers really have only 380 Mb to for their applications and other stuff? Not really, we have system partition of 312,5 Mb in size as well.
I've noticed there are other partitions on Xperia Neo.
Here are all partitions I have found on Xperia Neo.
/cache --> 225 Mb
/data --> 380 Mb
/dev --> 167,77 Mb 76 k used
/etc --> 312,5 Mb
/mnt/asec --> 167,09 Mb This partition houses secure information about for example apps you bought from Market. It might show as 0Kb used but check individual folders and you see each is made into separate partition with around 1-2Mb in size.
/mnt/obb --> 167,09 Mb
/mnt/secure/asec this is using your sdcard but showing only files ending with *.asec
/system --> 312,5 Mb
Total Mb size adding them all would be 1731,95.
That's not correct since:
/etc and /system are in fact 1 partition. Considering this, the size is 1419,45
/mnt/asec and /mnt/obb could be as well same partitions. If it's true then total size is 1252,36 Mb.
Apps that show partition information show max total space around 917 Mb. But they show info only about /cache, /data, /system and no other system specific partitions.
its written on the sony ericsson website that neo has Internal phone storage: 1GB
(up to 320MB free)
The truth of which I am trying to figure out seeing those numbers I've presented. So far for me it seems the exact size is 1,2 Gb.
Official information about 1 Gb RAM for example for PC is always inaccurate, it's more like 1,1 GB or 1,2GB.
Seems the same case here. It's more convenient to type 1Gb and since most users will never notice those extra 200 Mb used by system specific partitions then who cares...
Well I do.
This 252,36 MB extra means I have some more room to play around with seeing that not much is getting written there by system.
I've noticed the same thing on my xplay it would be really cool to be able to have at least 500mb free

You sure there's no symlinks inflating the numbers?
You have assume that /data --> 380 Mb, when it's up to 380Mb free, must have 128Mb free with 252Mb of apps installed, to recover use app2sd or similar.
I've moved as many apps to the sd card but there some that won't move and I'm left with 190Mb free and 205.3Mb after cache clearing

If you read last lines of OP you notice I try to calculate out possible symlinks.

That is fine or what? Those apps need to be somewhere anyway. Total space is 380 Mb and that's what matters.
i have to ask a thing
is normal that in "settings"--> "applications", i see only 335 mb of ram in total (not free) ?
but the phone should't have 512 mb?
where is the other ram?

Hello. Exact. The neo has 512 Mb of Ram but just around 320 are available for users (the rest is used by the system )
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.

I'm looking for some input into what you fine folks think is the best partition scheme for the Kindle Fire. Share yours, constructively criticize others; this is a battle royale in which the winner will get my KF partitioned under his or her scheme.
6/7GB and then the rest for the OS. Only because yesterday I tried to transfer all my Amazon MP3 bought stuff using doubleTwist and 5GB wasn't enough and didn't give me room for anything else. :silly: 1GB is enough for the OS.

I think that's his point.

No, it's 5GB.

So, it seems, the forum has answered one of two options:
the ROM's native partition is fine or
increase the sdcard partition by 1GB.
About right?

It looks like I misunderstand the Fire's memory partitioning..
When I look at the partitioning my Fire running CM9 nightly's from Hashcode, I see its got 528mb for System ROM (281 free), 1.17Gb Internal (975 mb free) and 5.36Gb for the SDcard partition. I thought that layout was standard. That's more than 5Gb for the SDCard though, right ?
Adding that up I get only about 7Gb accounted for, so I am for sure missing something. Recovery partition for TWRP maybe ?
I got these numbers from Titanium Backup Pro, so maybe its not telling me stuff I don't need to know about.
You are saying you can increase the SDCard partition from 5.36Gb to 6Gb by reducing the size of the Internal partition ?
If so, would that limit the number and size of the programs you could install on your Fire, but give you more room for music and stuff ?
Thanks,
Glenn

I'm running Jelly Bean and it says my internal is 1.09GB, and then my internal SD is 5GB. I'm getting that from the Settings page...
It wouldn't limits the number of programs, but you'd probably have to push them to the SD card for storage (some apps already do that though). But yeah, it'd give you more space for media too.
Are you using this Jelly build?

I tried it, briefly, and jumped ship because it didn't auto-rotate from landscape to portrait. I check the thread, also briefly, but didn't see anyone reporting the same. Am I missing something?
Code:

Of course I have nearly 5gb dedicated to linux, but that space can be used for media.

What makes you think this is the best way? Not being difficult, just trying to understand the inner workings...
I have bought Lenovo k4 note n have recently upgraded to marshmallow. So I ve 16 GB of internal memory out of which the Android 6.0 inbuilt memory app inside storage and USB setting, says 5.37 GB is OS occupied. 9.46 GB out of 10.63 GB is used. Further break down are as follows:
Apps 5.29 GB
Images 105 MB
Videos 8 KB
Audio 588 KB
Other 488 MB
Cached Data 183 MB
Which totals to 6.066 GB. So now subtracting 9.46 with 6.066 GB I get 3.394 GB which I can't understand where it went.
Still after going inside file manager n clicking the view hidden files these are what I get:
Android 2.17 GB
Download 278.01 MB
Shareit 200 MB
WhatsApp 136 MB
Pictures 74 MB
Books 52 MB
DCIM 29 MB
Which comes to around 3 something GB and still 3 GB are missing.. so.. around 6 GB of files are not showing.. I am unable to find the files that are taking up space. Can anyone help please.
Now I have rooted my device with Twrp n SuperSU and and now I still have the same problem of large data files. Is it normal or can I get more space. The user data which I wasn't able to see is accessible now. Can I delete those data to free up space. And how do I get to look files taking up space which actually adds up to the space I have. The first pic I uploaded provides information of my phone's storage handled my marshmallow s219. You can see that 5.24 GB is OS occupied compared to unrooted 5.37 GB. The second image points to the fact that only around 3.2 GB of space is shown out of supposed 6.25 GB. The third image tells the accessible part of my phone data which is very low (around 700 MB). And the third is the inaccessible files which I have come to see through the blessing of rooting the phone. So I think my phone shouldn't use up that much data as I don't be very large app. Largest is Facebook. Can someone help me to optimise my phone. Thanking you guys in advance.?
I've got an almost fresh and empty J3 (2016) with stock Android 5.1.1
One of my friends has been complaining about low internal memory warnings.
So I installed TWRP and got it rooted.
It shows the following:
System memory - 7,02 GB
Used space - 664 MB
Available space - 310 MB
And when I do a TWRP backup, it says - ok, system partition is approx 1.4 GB, data 800 MB. In total, full system backup is slightly more than 2 GB.
Where did the rest 6 GB of internal memory go?
Mind you, there is *no* pictures, no video, no apps, nothing.
Wiped cache/dalvik.
But 5 or 6 gigs are still missing. Whats wrong with this picture?
Maybe there's a hidden partition? Can you give me a hint how to visualize ALL internal memory, all available partitions? And possibly kill and resize the useless ones.
I'd greatly appreciate it!
