Once you create a rom slot in safe strap you specify how much space each section gets, storage, system.... you have the option of deleting stock but if you dont touch it then it stays the same. You can activate your baja rom slot and it will stay on that even if you reboot or what not, then when you feel like stock you simply load up safestrap and activate the stock slot and youre back to stock

Right.well i made one already can I add more storage to the slot I created or do I have to create another one and do over?
Edit:better yet when I make a slot and set max size there is still a lot of remaining space.so when I'm in let's say slot 1 will I run out of space when I reach the space limit I I set on the slot or will the remains space available be used on that slot that I didn't add when I made the slot

Does the new rom run off of ext sd card memory or internal sd card memory?

I don't know what the he** that is. Ha
So will that storage(memory) be in a sense wasted?
Or will it be used once the space I made available in slot one is maxed. I'm using slot 1 by the way

Well I have a back up on my external.. But deleting the apps on stick slit which I won't be using much will give me more space for my slot 1 yes? Obviously......?...
Can someone get to my question about the free/available space please.

only way to do this is install your custom rom in the STOCK rom slot in safestrap. I was told not to do this but it worked for me and allowed me to have access to all the internal memory. As a backup I put a stock rom into one of the other slots, in this reversed order everything worked fine for me.
I have seen people here say not to do that, but it was the only way I could figure out that would not waste my sd card space. I prefer to have apps on my phone and misc. files on my sd card.

Yes, we just have to wait for the bootloader unlock to be released and the nightlies of CM 10.1 to start.
So SD card repartition would be covered in the ROM install? I wasn't sure if these were separate activities.

I don't believe the SD card is partitioned different, I believe if you hhave root you can access all the samsung stuff in hidden folders and not on a desperate partition
I have the 16gb and was thinking about upgrading to the 32 on the 10th... I know cm10 and other roms will take advantage of the external sd card. But will the other TW based roms give you the freedom to use external as the main storage? I dont see a point in upgrading if they do...

Even with custom roms you still can't move apps to sd card as the limitation is android where Google does not allow it. You will still need to use some kind of app to accomplish moving apps to sd card.

Would apps like GL to SD work on S4?
I have s3 right now and I'm wondering if I can use this app the same way I did on S3.
Lack of memory is a major concern to me as I have lots of large games...

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.

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.

I just flashed the hyper drive rom.....and WOW. As soon as I get some money I will contribute!!!! Anyway after I flashed the rom I noticed after my screen booted up at the top in the status bar next to the 4G there's something that looks like a "eye" can anyone tell me what that is and will it remain there if so can I get rid of it? Thanks to all the bad as devs out there I'm so thankful for all that you people do!!! For all that it's worth I really really want to say THANK YOU!
It's called smart stay. It checks via the phone camera to see if you ate looking at the screen, and if you are it keeps the phone from going to sleep
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Before I flash a rom like hyper drive first I create a rom slot next do I wipe data dalvik, then cache on the new rom slot?
Then flash the rom in the created rom slot. Just wanna make sure. Also when I'm charging my phone on hyper drive rom when I turn off my phone and turn it back on it goes back to stock rom and the S'S splash screen doesn't appear upon turning on, doesn't do that when I'm not charging the phone.
Also I used to have 32GB, of phone storage now I only have 1.89GB, just wondering how to fix the storage
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
There's no way to "fix" the storage. From what I have been told, the system reads it wrong and you only have that much storage for installing apps ( in your case, 1.89GB ). You still have access to the rest of your storage. You can still store pictures, songs, movies, data. Using ES File Explorer, you can see how much space you have left. I was able to successfully download over 3GB of movies on my internal storage despite it saying I had less than 2GB of space left.

Go to Hyperdrive Tweaks, Xposed, Framework Installer, Framework. Check to see if you can Install/Update. You should be in the green with matching numbers for active/bundled.
I suggest removing/editing your post about Blackmart Alpha. Using those kinds of apps are not allowed here and is frowned upon. Plus it's illegal.

I have a question hope you can help me out. In safe strap in rom slot 1 is my stock rom slot 2 is hyper drive and slot 3 is beans rom. Shouldnt my stock rom be on the right in the stock slot and hyper should be in slot 1 and beans in slot 2? If so i need help on placing the roms in the right place. I have used TWRP for along time on my note 2 but SS is new for me. Sorry if im asking dumb questions. And thank you in advance for any help you provide.
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Looks like you didn't install anything on your Stock slot. When you reboot your phone make sure you active the partition that you want that particular ROM in. So for stock, activate stock and install stock backup (you did make a backup right?) and then you can then activate Slot 1 for HD and then Slot 2 for Beans. I would wipe/factory reset the ROM Slots before installing anything on top so you have a clean install.

One quick question, when you have rom slot activated can I delete all from stock room? Obviously I can't delete the stock room byitself but what is safe to remove from it? It eats a lot of storage and with 2n rom I have only 2 gb free on 2 nd one.
And following question am I able to flash what every I want for room slot (for 4.2.2)?

You can delete the stock ROM if you choose and flash the custom ROM over stock because we have the Odin files now to return your phone to stock in case something happens. Questions like this should go in the safestrap thread not make a new thread.

If you can't find the option, it's probably best you leave it alone. Considering the instructions explicitly explain how to delete the stock slot.

I'm not sure what you are asking. If you have 6GB's why do you need more space? I used Safestrap and installed a deodexed rom on the stock rom slot "after backing up my stock ROM"
When I go to create a ROM slot that's 5800mb it says there isn't enough space, there's only 5197mb available. What do I need to do to for safestrap to have more space for a rom slot.
