8GB Nexus 7... this doesn't add up.
I am generally accepting of storage limitations, but this doesn't make any sense at all. Any idea where the other storage has gone?

Look for invisible files, like from apps you 'deleted', they may have left a ton of useless save loggs and seat animations
Edit: I have a large ammount of 'invisible' data, due to the laziness of not deleting unneeded nandroids

So you have a little over 12gb out of 16gb, that's entirely acceptable. I should have 6 out of 8, I would be happy with 5.5gb (and that's what I have read most people have) but I am at a little more than half of 5.92gb of usable space.
I deleted one nandroid, before taking that SS. I have looked all over my data folders for unused, lingering data folders... I just don't see it.

yup appears to not accountfor hidden files/custom folders

Whoa ... can you at least account for the storage that is in use?
I don't hardly have custom folders, the one I do have specifically takes up 200mb

Well, I know for a sure that none of my videos or comics are included in that graph. I find the internal storage indicator in apps is quite accurate, but doesn't give you the breakdown of what's on the device.

Show your SSLauncher screenies and share your setup

I saw a thread elsewhere in XDA about this, but lets make it all about the Evo... because different phones can do different things. That being said, I am an ICS junkie, and coming from GB the one thing I really missed were the screen transition options and customizabilty of the launchers for it....Sure Apex and Nova are great, but lack the holy sh*t factor many GB launchers could give you with themes, icons, docks, and screen transitions. I haven't heard about this launcher in the Evo threads, so I figured I would share with others who hadn't heard of it either. Once you figure this launcher out, you will fall in love with it and what you can do with it. It plays well with ICS roms.. even HWA ones and works well with GB roms. Give it a shot, you won't be dissapointed. It evens gives you an option to save your setup in a zip file to share with others. Everything you see is fully customizable even down to the font.
Here is the market link for free version
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.launcher&hl=no
I will start with my ICS setup - AOKP 33.
GB to follow!

[Q] How did you name your Nexus 7?

I have been thinking about re-naming my Nexus 7 ( Bluetooth, Play & PC) but I have really no idea what to name it..
I was hoping I could get some inspiration here
So what did you name your Nexus 7 on:
Play Store
Bluetooth
PC?
Screenshots included to further show what I mean.

I see what you did there
Maybe "Bugatti Veyron" or "NOT iPad mini [bluetooth]".
Things are starting to pop into my head now, but keep them coming!
"Warning: Trojan Detected..." for bluetooth
Mine is name "Hwa Rang"

Not sure if you are in the US, but I normally name my wireless network and any Bluetooth device 'FBI Surveillance Van #6'

greenify on nexus 4?

Hey everyone, I had a question.
I did a complete wipe of data and I also wiped the system also. Issue I have is that for some odd reason even when I did all that greenify Still had my settings after I flashed to a new ROM.
Why is that?
Did you restore the app?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
If you wiped your data from CWM recovery, I know that it doesn't wipe the internal storage for me, maybe that's why it didn't wipe Greenify's data
I didn't restore the app. I also wiped the system also.
If the information you gave us is correct, there are two possible explanations. 1) The info is saved on the emulated SD. 2) The info is backed up to a server and automagically restored (doubtful).

This. It is most likely the first one

read what it says under automatic restore(this is in main settings, backup and reset, and refers to apps installed from the play market. it saves your settings on googles servers)..

yup.
this option works well too, market apps only though. its a shame, not many people realize that the option exists.

its very useful, especially if you have apps that behave bad. if those apps are running in the background and draining battery, then this will save you some battery.

Why The Name "Shield" Is Appropriate

The name shield is appropriate because it protects or shield you from boredom.
Possibly the most useless post.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
It even sounds like this would be a shield THOR WOULD USE.

The name shield hurts me a little every day. I prefer calling in Thor.

If you want to sound like a kernel hacker, you can also call it "roth".

No. Never. Worst name ever.
I think it's a better name than vita, wii u, xbox one and probably a few others, and those consoles come from companies that have been doing it for years.

Roth was the internal codename when we needed to refer to it by a codename other than Thor. So yes, we had a codename for the codename.

They didnt remove it, its there. I am assuming samsung didnt give the 15gig for general purpose as far as I can tell. But if u go into settings under backup u can see its there.

Anyone figure out how to delete the files neopolitin75 pointed out? I turned gallery sync off but it still shows the storage usage for galley. I just like to control where my personal pictures are in the world...
No idea here. Search around for a while and came up empty.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N930A using XDA-Developers mobile app
The workaround I found was to back up the files to your computer or whatever then delete the albums that were syncing then go back in and choose what folder you want to back up. It cleaned it up for me I have 5gb free but there's one folder that won't delete for some reason. I really wish they would've given you the option to select initially before going all willy nilly. Lol
