I can't install third party application !?
I uninstalled every application and I can't install any application it says it's full and I need to delete a couple apps, but their's no application in my tablet...
Please help !

Is it possible that you could give us a bit more information here...? What do you have installed, how much memory do you have left, and what are you trying to install?

I have need for speed installed and that's about it! I've 12 gb left and I was trying to install a apk for amazon market. I thought it was the apk that was faulty, so I downloaded a random app on the internet and it says that I need to delete stuff..

They don't install into your sd card, they install on your internal memory that's only about 5GB. Go to application settings and see if you can movie them to SD card.

dunno if they've changed it but normally theres a 2gb partition for apps and 12gb for storage. check if your 2gb partition is full. google recently changed things so that there is no longer a file size limit on what can be installed into the 2gb partition. so if one of the apps you've installed is particularly naughty, it couldve dumped a lot of data into the 2gb partition.
normally i find that shutting down and booting devices up again fixes the issue.

I've done a factory reset and the problem persist, I'll flash everything to stock and keeping you updated
Thank you anyway !

2 words. Incompatible App.
Maybe Amazon Market compatible. Try any other app. See if it installs

Will see if it persist !
Edit: the problem is gone.. I guess it was an android 4.1 bug ?
Thanks everyone !

well it seems that mine was shipped with android 4.1 and now it's updated to android 4.1 .1

I would suggest if you can, install Quick System Pro, and check your system storage total and free..

Ignore, I didn't see second page
Are they all from play store or another vendor/site? If latter, you need to allow third party apps in settings>Dev options

CM 10.1 mounts in the internal SD in the proper root directory: /sdcard/
Just a thought if it's a deal breaking feature for you.
EDIT: I'm actually not sure this can be done on CM10.1 either....

Edit: ive just found out a day ago that if u install the international version of software that has been pushed out as an ota update it has this done ! Apps 2 sd!! But still have to wait for ours on att. Or hopefully a dev will code it into a rom for us . I was just actually mad becuz the sell it as internal sd storage when it really is not separate from the phone memory that the system is on . I had a captivate that had it separated. But still loving the phone regardless.

mf3 miscellaneous files storage 8.18gb?

why is my miscellaneous portion of storage showing as 8 gb? if I click it, it says "7.97gb system memory" and underneath shows folders like zedge and kindle. my largest folder shown after I click on miscellaneous is zedge which is 135 mb. I'm unrooted and on mf3. (galaxy s4 i337) my gut feeling is that the 7.97 gb is the space that is taken up by default due to bloatware and preloaded apps. please help me explain why 7.97 gb of my phone's space is "system memory". thank you.

You guessed right...we have a huge system partition...nothing you can do about it...we need a dev to redo our partition layouts...but before we can do that we need a bootloader unlock...a real unlock, not an exploit like loki as rhat just allows flashing kernels and recoveries

Only 6 for me

On Cyannogenmod it is much less, only 1.3GB for me. Is that expected?

well thanks everyone. I really don't mind the space taken. rather I just wanted to just know what was taking up the space. thanks again

custom rom or remove bloatware?

Hi,
I will be receiving a galaxy S4 soon.
I need to know what would be the best option.
I am going to root & then either:
remove all bloatware using a no bloat or root uninstall app.
or
install a custom rom Doc Barebone possibly??
I would like to get as much space back as possible as I have heard that you only get around 9gb on a 16gb model.
Ideally I would like to keep (or reinstall with full functionality) the stock camera app.
I am not fussed about all of the touchwiz wizardry.
I also need to be able to install apps 2 sd card
& have live wallpapers & a music & video player
How much space is usable after a doc barebones rom install?
Apologies for all questions, coming back to android after a few years on iphone.

None of roms than I see opens more Space, you can move some apps to sd card.

I read that the Google play rom gives 12gb usable space as there is no bloatware & was considering it also. I thought the doc barebones may give slightly more.
Do all of the custom roms have app2sd functionality?
Can you install live wallpapers on the doc barebones rom?

Thanks for this , it looks like I will install doc barebones as it keeps the stock camera & if I can store apps on sd as well that will be great.
One more question, if installing a rom with no bloatware doesn't give more space, would it not be easier to just root & remove bloat ware from stock.
I'm a bit disappointed I thought I could have got some of the storage back. I read on another thread that Samsung have partitioned it so that 8-9gb is free regardless.
Read elsewhere that the google version of s4 has 12gb free.
Is there no way to completely wipe the phone & installation rom that gives you the same 12gb as the google edition..?

The apps to sd "feature" does not save you any appreciable space. You are far better off using a third party app to move the data to external sd and symlink back to the internal memory.

Reasons why people use Modified Stock ROMS is simply because the developers do a lot of editing as well as build.prop tweaks to insure Performance and Overall Stability.
Regardless of what TW Rom you use, you will have about 8.+ ----9Gb free space...
Don't Say Thanks. Hit IT LOL..

Hi.,
I have the i9505 version. I have rooted using Odin & now have su rights
I noticed that the docsbarebones rom is for the other galaxy.
Are there any roms that keep the stock camera & have apps 2 sd
Apologies noob
*** edit I have tried a few roms , but what I did was unrooted & loaded the german version of stock rom that has apps2sd then used auto root so I can remove bloat.
When I send an app 2 sd it sometimes says your device cannot move 2 sd card.
It still lets me do it though.
*** further edit. It isnt actually working.
Get error "/The_Device_does_not_have_a_real_primary_external_storage_or_the_primary_external_storage_is_emulated__Moving_app_to_SD_Function_my_not_be_supported"
What can I do to get apps2sd?

Does anyone know how to get app2sd on galaxy s4? It says its installing to sd card but its just writing it to internal.
I checked by installing a massive game, said it was all on sd, but when I uninstalled it gave me the space back internally.

It worked exactly as designed. Only the apk is moved to the ext SD. It does not move any associated data.

Hi, none of the files ever get copied to the external sd card though. They end up in some sort of sd/emulated/0 folder.
They arent on the external sd card. Everything seems to get stored internally.

That's the way it is supposed to be. The apps to SD feature is such a waste of time, I wonder why anyone even bothers. Only a single small installation file is moved to your external. Everything else is left internally. That is by design. If you want actual app to SD functionality, you're going to have to use a third party app such as Folder Mount to get it.

I think link2sd can do it. I have had no luck though. I cant get it to recognise the second partition.
2 of my main reasons for getting this phone was ability to store apps on external sd & a good camera . They are both frustrating me now as I cant get any method to work for my sd storage & seemingly galaxy s4 has hardware limitation on camera functions my iPhone 4s could do.

Some ROMs have the option of purging of assets that frees some RAM at the cost of a little performance.
