Teamhacksung's CM9(Build 15) doesnot allow full usage of the 2 GB memory in I9000

CM 09 Build 15 starts showing Low memory issue as soon as the memory consumption nears 225 MB of ROM, when there is about 1.6 GB of Memory still left in the phone. SGS I9000 has 2 GB of ROM.
I don't think the RAM could be running out because I used to have a lot more apps running with Gingerbread and still it does not used to show low memory error still. Nor has any app crashed. Now the apps too crash when the low memory error occurs.
PS: I did not have permission (this is my first post in XDA ) to write on the development thread so posting here.
(I had posted this in XDA general, now moving to SGS forum. Thanks @cashmundy for the tip)

This is a known issue and the 2nd time in 2 days I've answered this. It's talking about the space in /datadata, you can check how much you have by looking in the folder using root explorer. Moving some larger apps to SD should help.

Thanks.. I checked the known issues in the development thread and since it wasn't listed there, I posted here.. It would be great if the main development thread's first post can be modified to reflect this also a known issue. Yep, I have for a temporary basis I have uninstalled a few apps and have moved a few more apps to SD card.
Looking forward to the next build or the subsequent builds for the fix!
Thanks @beardedwonder for the reply!

Thanks for the quick reply. I have implemented the solution that has been suggested in that thread.. Will report back after analysis if I run into issues.. Thanks again for the good soul that made the script..

It has been more than 8 days since I implemented the suggested solution and I have installed atleast 20 apps, and a few of them are really huge, like wordweb(which downloads about 40 MB of data).. And I have to say that the fix is nothing short of awesomeness!
Thank you to whomsoever it applies..

This is a common problem with all ICS ROMs. All you have to do is use an app like Root File Manager, and open datadata folder and make a new file called ".nodatadata", reboot and no problems restoring your apps from titanium backup or whatever you use!

[Q] S4 Memory problem, Need help..

First of all, hello to everyone, I've been a big fan of this site since the very start I found it out and it sure helped me alot in my android experiences and adventures. So.. Thank You All, for these great efforts and information you'll are providing in order to help people and make phones more pleasant to use.
'This is the first time I'm posting on XDA bc I need help with something:
I have recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S 4 (i9505 model). I'm from Netherland btw and also bought my S4 here.
Before my S4 I was using a HTC DHD, which I screwed around alot with, like installing custom ROM's provided here and other stuff. I don't know if some options on Android phones are phone specific or not. But on my DHD i always could move apps from internal memory to my SD Card and otherwise, which i can't on my S4. This is like the last thing I need to do on my S4, bc I got a 16 GB model (9 or so useable) and I got only 3 GB left while I have a Ext. SD Card of 32 GB (30 useable) and only used 1,5 GB of it.
'This feels like having a beautifull hot girlfriend, but not being able to do anything nice with it, if you know what I mean..
I don't know where, but I once read it's possible to merge internal and external to 1 storage, like combining 2 partitions to 1 or making a RAID partition out of 2 different storages on phones. Is there anyone who can help me exactly with what I need please?
Thanks in advance.

The new software update thats allready rolling out will allow apps 2 sd card feature, it has arrived to some countries already maybe you should check your OTA or kies update. Or else you can flash it yourself manually .

Anyway what i do is go to settings, app manager, swipe to the right to find 'all' where all your apps is located, then click on an app and find "move to SD card"

Update to XXUBMEA. It provides App2sd support but I think you can only move the app, not its data.

[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] 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!

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

Is the speed decrease substantial?

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.
