[Q] Which rom has most internal space? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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] S4 i9505 WanamLite install space left?

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.

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

Guys I still can't move app to SD. It says "not enougth free space" or something similar.
Searching on the web I found other people with the same problem but no valid solution. My SD is 32gb and fat32. Tks

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:

Use SD as internal storage

Hello All
A friend is visiting me and he wants to use the SD as internal storage on his SM J500F phone.
I only found one article on XDA. Can someone confirm if this is a working solution?
Thanks
tell him not to do it, it will slow his phone down and decrease perfomance

Yes, a lot of apps will be crashing, because most of apps nowdays are not meant to be stored on sd card, and phone storage will never be same as sd card storage, that is why the perfomance will go down.
Well in my opinion is one of the best options to be made to a j5 as it does not have enough storage to support the apps of today so my recommendation would be to put internal sd and leave you the necessary zip to do it
I think better option is to move to to SD card, by doing this i have 2.5 gb available, even though i have so many apps, but still, he can give adoptable storage a try and decide for himself

There is a method for Root users via Root Essentials or work around stock settings. I was able to get Adopted internal storage on stock 6.0.1, No luck on CM13 as the kernel doesent allow it.
@kiwigi I think that better is a debloated Rom and native app2sd. You should test and pick what you find better for you. I personally avoid as much as I can craps like Facebook, Snapchat, etc. which are always the great responsible of out of memory and so.

Thanks. Have you got a suggestion for a debloated tomorrow? Or is there an option of rooting then debloated ourselves?
Or root and move apps to SD?

"debloated ROM (not tomorrow, dum spell correct)
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Actually, googling things like debloated AOSP, debloated Lineage bring us very interesting things. We know that all stock roms need root and our work to recover valuable space. I like the CM/AOSP branded roms. There are lot of threads here in XDA about customize and debloat and apps to do such and that works with SD managing as well ?
Hopefully now there are plenty J5 roms for you to taste and choose.?
I want to use sd card as internal storage, and use it to download large files from playstore, but could not find solution please help.
