[Q] S4 i9505 WanamLite install space left? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
New here, i have a rooted S4, installed WanamLite ROM and all is ok but i have a question...
On my original stock ROM i had only 9gb of space left so i installed the WanamLite ROM, since in this ROM a lot of bloatware
is removed one would assume that one would have more than 9gb of space left but no, still only 9gb to use for apps and stuff!
Anyone knows why?
Thks.

Off the top of my head, Wanam may have lost a few hundred MB of bloat, but probably not enough to knock a massive dent in your storage.

Ok, then that makes sense, oh well, will keep it for now. Thks.

I think it doesn't matter what is removed from the rom you are installing, it's probably the same because of the partition size that is reserved for the system.

[Q] Which rom has most internal space?

Hi
I know this is a noob question but im really curious with other peoples experiences. Which rom has the most available free usable space after fresh install? The stock MEA I noticed has about 8.5GB - 8.6GB available usable space as noted from Application Manager.
I also use foldermount and its awesome.

buddy any custom mod can release space from /system not from internal memory.

Thanks for the quick reply.
So Im assuming /system and internal memory are two separate partitions then? And you can remove bloatware from the /system partition giving more space there, but you cant really do anything to the internal memory (where "most" the games/apps you download from market go)?
I say most because Ive noticed some apps go in /system like "tapped out Simpsons game".

[q]why can not omni move apps to sdcard?

The remaining space is low, because the apps are installed in the phone memory ,and I can not move the programs to the SDcard.eek:nly Sixty-five apps had been installed ,not included big games.Then the remaining space are 650M,Often show lack of space.:crying:

Going to read some thread and ask your question in the Galaxy S2 section would be a better option than in general Omni section no ?

Thanks for this Information, but i think that's not the real problem. He asked why App2SD doesn't work. There are only a lot of apps filling the internal Memory, no big data that should or could moved to a sd card.
That's the same Problem on my phone (Galaxy Note N7000). I see the Option "Move to SD" in the application menu, but if i want to move the app, i got an error message that's not possible to move the app.

To avoid any myths starting, this has nothing whatsoever to do with 4.4.2 - the commit just happened to be made the same night as 4.4.2 was merged in. Pure coincidence, nothing more.

[Q] i9505 CM12 storage problem

Hi all,
Actually this is a 2 part question.
I just updated my i9505 to CM12 lollipop.
1. This is a minor problem out of the 2. The internal storage bar shows a wrong proportion. As you can see, I have 1.81GB available but it's taking up half the meter bar for some reason.
2. From the photos you can see I have 13.31GB available on my external SD card, yet when I tried to move some apps from internal storage to SD, lollipop is giving me an error saying "Couldn't move app. Not enough storage space." Which is obviously not true. I also tried using Link2SD but it gave me an message saying "INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR".
If anyone could give me some advice on how to fix the mentioned problems I will be very grateful.
Thank you in advance,
Nelson

as i have not tested CM12 yet but Cr-Droid based on CM12, i dont have storage problems actually. but i'm on 4.4.4 now actually.
ok thanks. I assume it's a problem with CM. I guess all we can do is wait for updates!
May not be a CM problem...

Hello All,
I am a long time user of custom ROMs for my devices, as I'm sure most here are. I have had my Shield tablet (wifi only 16gb version) since January, and in that time I have tried many ROMs. The only one that has allowed app to be installed onto the SD was the rooted stock Lollipop. I have tried, PAC (KK and LP beta), CM12, and ASOP 5.0. All fresh installs of these ROMs have lead to the infamous 'Couldn't Move app. Not enough Storage Space.'.... Therefore, I am waiting patiently for a solid ROM that allows App2SD. Keep up the good work!

How To: Switch back to Android KitKat to get awesome storage space again.

Hi Friends,
I was extremely annoyed with Lollipop Upgrade as I didnt had enough storage space after the upgrade.. Removing system apps also didn't help. I was looking for some KitKat Roms and I found this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-816/development/26-nov-svhd-v1-0-0-t2953661
This is one of the best KitKat Roms available and works amazing on my Device. (Dual Sim Version)
FYI: This is NOT MY CREATION and I would like to give 100% Credit to the Author.
Hope this Helps

I just had 8 gigs memory card. So, the better alternative was to get 3.5 gigs free space on phone rather than buying a new memory card :highfive:

A month ago came from nexus 5 world and I'm big time missing MultiROM. Thank you for the app
However, while installing secondary patched ROM in TWRP, I've got Error 1 - while installing both Lineage OS and AOSP Extended.
I wonder where I can error messages codes to figure our what's wrong with my setup.
Upd. 1 - just checked free space and /system got 0B.
- Does that explains error 1 message (see above)
- how I can free space on /system partition
- How I can get more space on /system partition - to be able to use this app? In other words, do I need to play around with PIT file? Or how else (and more safely) I can extend /system at the cost of interbal storage?

I'm not completely sure how to resize system partition but have you got a very large sized ROM installed? I was running superman ROM and still had more than enough space to install it. You could try to download an app like system app uninstalled and either delete apps like Facebook and install them again from the playstore if they are installed as system apps or delete very rarely used apps like SHealth (just an example, I don't use my S Health but you might)

I doubt it, without a fully working recovery it isn't possible. I could be wrong, there might be a way, but I wouldn't count on it.

While been a flash-o-holic, I tried that. But while there are no official ROMs for for 930W8, thus there is no proper CSC. That screwing up my modem big times. I'm not sure what's wrong, but after ANY N ROM I do not have network connection.
