Look for the safestrap-related folder on your storage and rename it. If it is ok you can delete them later.

Hey all. Just picked up my s4 yesterday and I immediately rooted and flashed slimbean. It's a beautiful thing but I'd really like to find a bug free DEBLOATED touch wiz ROM just for sh*ts and giggles too. I'm hoping someone here can suggest one. Please, bug free and debloated.
Secondly, question about 4.2.2 and flashing ROMs. Is there still the issue caused by the multi user support which leads to a bunch of directories within directories on the internal SD card? Coming from the s3 and the note 2, I know that was an issue. After flashing a few 4.2.2 ROMs, you'd have all your SD card contents moved within a new "0" directory a bunch of times. The way I worked around it was to copy all the contents of my internal SD to my external SD. Then before flashing I'd wipe the internal SD card. Finally after flashing my new 4.2.2 ROM, I'd copy the contents back from external to internal.
Thanks in advance!

I installed Hyperdrive on my Note 3 using Safestrap but I was advised to make a new rom slot which is only allowed to be 3gb due to the stock slot being the majority of the internal space. Is there a way to delete the stock slot to use this space? Or a way to reduce the stock slots size? Is the only option to install the custom rom on the stock slot?
Please help.
You want to activate the stock slot and delete slot 1 and install hyper drive on the stock slot. This will give you full memory.

your answer/solution is here.
I was wondering if I could get help or some insight regarding internal space with safe strap, I'm constantly running out of space and well it kinda sucks
Sorry I came from an unlocked note 2 and im not 100 % sure I understand safe strap so my apologies... Anyways is it possible to delete the original back up in my slot 1
From my understanding it is ment not to be touched but I think thats why I have no space I mean I'm constantly deleting text threads and apps now or is there a way to do like the SD swap that was able to be done on the note 2??
Or if you guys have any other ways of getting space I mean my biggest apps are like chrome and Google text to speech
Move your stock ROM to your pc and back it up there. That will clear up some space

Coming from another noob......I don't think you have to have a backup in your stock slot. I moved mine to my computer with no problems, I only have roms in slots 1 and 2. Also consider backing up titanium backup files to your pc too, that can be a big folder

I personally only use the stock slot for my daily driver rom. I just put the back up on my internal and it's there if I need it.
I will use slot one to test roms out but then delete the slot if I want and just keep using the stock slot. If you want to put a rom on stock side it's fine just wipe it clean first and remember to back up your stock rom.
This is how you will maintain proper storage.

So my stock rom is the OG rom when I first obtained root and my slot 1 is Hyperdrive can I delete the stock one? In place for Hyperdrive... Because that's how I have my phone atm and im gonna try and just titanium Strait to my pc never tried before but if that's do able I think this method would be easier see from what I've read everyone says not to touch the stock rom

If you want the correct storage running on the stock slot is the only way. Like I said I backup my stock rom to internal so it's on my phone if I need it. Stock slot is kinda dangerous but if you have a really stable custom rom you should be okay. I've been flashing to stock slot since safestrap was released for the Note3.
Hi all,
I just rooted today and got this Note 3 up and running. Coming from a Note 2. I am now getting a "storage space running out" notification. When I click on it says that my Misc files have 29.61GB of usage, however when I click on that-no folders stick out to me as having large file use? I have the stock ROM saved, as well as running BAJA in slot 1. Any suggestions on how to free up some space?
Don't use two roms with all your apps in both.

Ok, thanks. Question is this, do I have to backup the current ROM I am using each time I move from slot to slot to maintain settings? or is it auto saved?
Found my answer to my above question however other than the bloat ware, I only had 3 apps that I downloaded on stock so something else has to be eating it.

if you moving the rom to a different slot a back up is best if you just loading a different slot no need for backup everything is the same as it was when you rebooted the phone its just like having more then one phone if you have more then one slot with a rom on it
started looking at moving my apps to the SD card, at least the ones I could and I only have 2GB of app taking space. And when clicking misc files, only 60MB or so of data is shown, so something huge is taking up internal space that I cannot see. I know BAJA is what, 1.7GB I think, could the stock ROM be taking up that much room?
And when plug it into the computer,it is showing 18.9GB free on internal????
Maybe trying doing a wipe and reinstall the ROM. With stock you should have about 22GB free out of the 32GB total. Sounds like something is glitched?
Maybe I got a bad download of Baja? I haven't tried to re download but everything worked except for this storage issue. I ended up wiping and sticking with stock root after wiping and reinstalling the Baja file I had didn't work again. Might just wait for 4.4 to come out and alliance to be released for the note 3 hopefully.

If it is a bad download and you didn't redownload then it won't fix anything...Why don't you redownload? It's only a little over 1GB and shouldn't take long.
Boot into recovery, create a new ROM slot. Increase the data partition size to the max(I believe its 4gb). Use this slot and flash ROM. Profit

Oh, I know, I don't have wifi at work and did everything I could without re-downloading at work. Sa the wipe and re-install of the old didn't fix it, so went back to the stock and set u y accounts and screens. Too lazy to do it again, lol.
I have recieved a new Note 3 and noticed that I am unable to edit files on my MicroSD. It is running Kitkat 4.4.2 on NC4. I read that apparently Google has made it not possible to edit your MicroSD from Kitkat, but I can not use Safestrap Recovery 3.75 to do a backup to my SD Card either. I can backup to my internal memory fine.
This is just really odd to me. It is basically like my MicroSD Slot is set to "Locked" as you can do with just regular SD cards.... I have not be able to find any suggestions. If you have any it would be great!
Thank you.

Maybe because I rooted before KK and took the leak upgrade I've never come across this but there is an app in the play store for that. Can't say for sure if it works but it's highly rated and has great reviews.

Edit : Just to make sure are you using the very latest version of safestrap?
