Does the space available to me include OS space?

Under storage, it says:
"Total space: 13.24GB"
"Available: 7.63GB"
So is the total space, 13.24GB, all for me, or does that include the OS and its ROM as well?
I'm just wondering because there is absolutely no way I have ~6GB worth of things on my tablet right now, which both the storage under the OS settings and Windows Explorer confirm.

There is some hidden file taking up the 6gb. It could be a backup or temp file. If you are rooted, save all the files/aps you want in a backup such as titanium backup, and in recovery mode "format /sdcard". I had the same thing, I could figure out what is was and after formating I have 12gb free.
Use at your own risk, but it worked for me. Alternatively, use a file explorer to track down the culprit. there are also apps that tell you which files are taking up how much space.

Tried it, didn't help much, but did give me this fact:
With it completely wiped, with absolutely no files in the "internal storage", Windows shows 2.27GB being used-

Android storage settings show 1.41GB being used somewhere (13.24GB total minus the 891MB used by apps, and 10.96GB available reported):
Where is this 1.41GB? What is it used for?
Since advertisers use that 1000 bytes = 1 kilobytes, 16GB = 16,000,000,000 bytes, therefore using the correct 1024 bytes = 1 kilobytes conversion, that is 14.9 gigabytes.
So... if it's reported that the total space is 13.24GB, where it actually should be 14.9GB, where is THAT 1.66GB being used? I assume this is where the OS and formatting is used for, but what about the 1.41GB that's missing in the storage settings screenshot?

Recovery, System and boot loader?

You mean those are that gigabytes in data? I doubt it really, considering the packages to download are less than a gigabyte in total.
And I've gone through Recovery to wipe the "SD card", and the result was that as you see in post #3.

[Q]IMPOSSIBLE DEODEX > encrypted dalvik-cache

I learned tems that the NOTE 3 does not work deodeks.
I also heard that the application of the recovered Titanium backup does not work
This comes from the fact that the dex files could not move in / data / dalvik-cache
disprove me please?

I really doubt dalvik-cache is encrypted. That would be A LOT of overhead.
Certainly not impossible to deodex either.

tnx for reply, but i made deodex some time, and with zipalign, and without - this can't boot system.
Going only to bootanimation and that's all.
I think framework can't start...

And why after titanium restore app, dex files do not appear into dalvik-cache?

Possible Titanium needs to be updated to work properly on the Note 3. Try manually creating a folder as su in dalvik-cache and create a file.
su
cd /data/dalvik-cache
mkdir test
cd test
touch testfile
If that works, then I would assume something with how Titanium works has changed.

Latest update..

Next for testing is Pre-Rooted DeOdexed KNOX FREE ROM (CWM)... in progress...

[Q] Note 3 (32gb) -> Repartition \Sytem partition : How ?

Hi Guys, I have problems with my \system partition, it's almost filled for 90% and I moved almost everything out of that partition by converting it to user apps...
My current Note 3 (32gb) config is:
/System : 2,21
/Data : 26,36
I want to use 1 gb from my /data partition to be part of my System partition so that I have 3,21gb and my data partition 25,36
I found these two articles for other samsung phones:
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/79112/resize-system-partition-of-galaxy-s-2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765846
But I was wondering if there is some other way for the Note 3 ?

Help?
No ideas?

On a side note...
DON'T GODDAMN PLAY WITH PARTITIONS ON A DEVICE YOU PAID 600$ FOR.
Do like normal people - a factory reset, a new ROM, easy squeazy peazy smooth fast stable phone.

Partitionning is not magic or sorcery
I do it all the time with devices of 2000+ euro
It's just that with android it's a bit new to me, but everybody that has used a pit file to flash their custom rom also has partitioned, so it's not really a biggie and it is done frequently.
In my case I have 650 apps and nothing is on the system partition but for some reason I still get up to 2gb of the system partition...
I therefore suspect that each app has maybe some cache or configuration that is anyway stored on the \system partition, or maybe it's the photo app , i know that the thumbnail cache can also grow enormously

Partitionning is not magic or sorcery
Maybe not but flashing PIT files is probably the easiest way to end up with a brick ,

Have a look at Philz Recover .

You could start by removing all the languages and csc's you don't need, also all tts files, etc.. i could easily have 900mb+ free in my system partition if i removed some more stuff i didn't need. For example i added the Samsung UK high quality tts voice files into my system partition, it was around 120mb.

Messing with your device's partition table is entirely unnecessary, and just asking for a brick. But hey, if you want to go for it, more power to you. Just don't come crying back here when you're left with a paperweight.
