I recently moved from AOKP to PACMAN. After flashing pacman successfully all my gallery and media files were still there.
After that I even did factory reset. Still files are there. free space is just 7GB or something.
I had Asphalt 7 installed in AOKP, I believe its still eating huge space in PACMAN.
How can I wipe that data (including old app data and some trash) without damaging ROM installed?

rom file was 162MB. I deleted that zip file.
I'm just worried about losing so much space.

Asphalt's a Gameloft game right? If so, then you should be able to delete all gameloft data fairly easily by finding the /gameloft folder (should be on the root of your SD) and deleting it. I don't see how it would break anything to do with the ROM, the worst case scenario is just that you lose some game data.

Hey friends,,
I've lately facing a problem with my galaxy 3. Lately i've been using custom ROM's based on JPU and the internal memory is getting low too quickly. It's like the apps take the double of its real size, so i can't have even more than 15 apps that my internal memory is already gone...
To realize if it's the custom ROM or not, I've tried the original froyo version I5800XXJPU and have got the same problem. Initially the total free memory was 170mb, after the system updates (gmail, market, google search...) it decreased to 130mb, and after just installing the facebook and facebook messenger it's about to 100mb
I don't use Hybrid Data2sd, because i simply don't like it and had some problems with it last time. And yes, i move the apps to the sd card in the own system interface.
Am I doing something wrong? Someone knows how to solve it?

The dalvik cache is probably taking up a lot of memory. Just wipe the dalvik cache and cache in recovery and you should get maybe 10 extra MB or so.

By the original ROM's recovery I am only able to delete the Cache. So I did and didn't free any space .
The memory that was 100mb free, now is 88mb, without installing anything.

Just flash Kyrillos' V10.2. It has app2sd right out of the box so no need for configuration or anything like that. It's simple and kyrillos' app2sd scripts are always fast and not buggy.

Thanks for your help. I would like to use the original froyo ROM, I am tired of custom ROM's, they are giving me headache :O. So if you know a stable froyo rom, without this nasty problem of the internal memory, I'd be glad if you send me. Without bootloader preferentially.
Try link 2 sd
Cheers

check your internal and external memory for .exe file virus with esfile explorer
One simple thing - DEODEX
When you deodex the dalvik cache goes to /data for /system/app and ../framework also.. I am on ODEX and it's good enough.. PS - You need to odex manually or download a pure stock ROM or some odexed custom ROM..
IF THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM PLEASE CONTACT ME or SOMEONE ELSE WHO CAN HELP
Cheers
I have flashed many Roms, but lately I am running out of room on my internal storage. I wipe everything 3 times and storage says I have only 4 GB left. What am I doing wrong? I recently install JB and a game I ha enter played in a while. I opened the game and it wanted to continue play from 8 weeks ago. Any help would be great.

It could be your internal storage is just filled with game data and other files that don't normally get deleted when doing Rom wipes.
If you "really" want to clean your system of off the old stuff, then when you boot into your CWM Recovery, select "Backup and Restore". Then select "Toggle Data Media".
When you do your wipes and formats, it will "REALLY" wipe all your data from your tab. Fotos, Game data, downloaded files, etc.
Then install your rom.

thanks for your reply. it would appear that I have no option for "toggle data media " on my device in the section you designated. I will keep looking.
How many nanoid backup do you have? Each time you do a backup from cwm it creates a huge file , 400+ mb. Delete some of them with a file manager like ROM manager or ES file explorer.

As always, there is more information than what was told....
As with CWM, you have to be running the newer versions. Next time, might want to give a little more info. TB will by default, for those that still use it, save all data to internal SD.

yea, the last time i used TB according to the back up was almost a year ago. I always deleted it when it came with a new rom. I had no idea the file was still on my storage much less a backed up rom. but thanks for the assist anyways.
In TB you can always choose to set ext sd as target for backup. Well thats what i do. Knowing me I'm probably wrong lol

Download them directly to your tablet. I haven't done PC transfer for ROM files since my first ROM or two on my skyrocket. Its an unnecessary burden. I flashed aokp today on my nexus 7. The downloaded files show up in your downloads folder. You could make a specific folder if you wish

Have never transfered files through a usb cable since I found out about apps like Wifi explorer Pro or Airdroid.
Personally I use Wifi explorer pro to transfer files from and to my PC wirelessly
You can use adb push and adb pull commands too
Ive done that, but im trying to install Paranoid Android. He requests that we do a factory restore.. which wipes everything as I understand it. So wont the downloads folder be wiped as well?

Wiping data, system, cache and dalvik cache would suffice to install any rom.
All these procedures do NOT wipe ur sd card
EDIT: To be more precise if you are using TWRP just do a factory reset from the wipe options there and then wipe system, cache and dalvik cache.
Then install the ROM.
You will be fine
^^ I feel like an idiot lol. So excited to play with the thing, checkedout on common sense. Thanks guys!

Hey guys,
I was wondering how I could upgrade my Nexus 10 when I already rooted it.
2nd question is, if I used more than half the storage of my nexus 10, how will the full NANDROID backup be stored on the device???
Thanks!

The space used is probably most filled with apps and app data, or movies, music, etc. Nandroid backups dont save that, they only save the system, system data, bootloader, and a couple other things if you choose to. All that data should only take up maybe around 1GB or so, possibly less.
TO upgrade you just install a new version of a ROM that is built from newer source files.

I'm on stock rooted. when Google releases an update, how will I update???
Also, I thought nandroid includes /data,/system, /cache. correct?
If that is incorrect, how will I backup user app data?
I used to be in the nook color community, so I am not used to devices without a SD slot.
Thanks!

Yes you are correct. But the Nandroid still wont end up being 8GB.
You can individually back up app data for things you want to keep with Titanium Backup
Storage space is showing only about 8.9 GB available after full wipe/factory reset and upgrade to 4.3. I noticed about 3.5 GB is being taken up in system data. Is this normal? Any remedies that don't require a factory reset?
you have some large games? or did have some large games? lots of music from the google play music app stored offline?

there should be a folder called data, but not so large if this is a fresh install. maybe it contains stuff from before the update. open that folder in your storage with a file explorer and look at whats in there.
