System data - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys, after I flashed lollipop (kdz Italy open v30a, 32 gb) to my G2 I saw that the system data partition takes away a big chunk of my memory, see picture. What's in there? And is it possible to decrease its size? With KK this partition was a lot smaller.

[Q] How to change system partition on gs4 T-Mobile

Hi. I have a gs4 (tmo) running the latest Cyanogen Mod nightly.
I only have like 15 downloaded apps and my internal memory only hase 400 mb left. The system partition is only being used up about 30% and its 2.65gb. Also if I can re size the cache partition because its only being used up 13%.
I feel like this is my only solution. But if you guys know a way to clear up space other than telling me to delete my pictures and what not (because I already did), then please show me a way.
It you guys need more info please ask.
Thanks - Harinder g

Why is my system partition that big?

I'm wondering why the system partition of my D802 (16gb version) is 2700mb big. Is it just me or is it normal? Did I do something wrong while flashing ROMs? currently running latest omnirom.
For comparison, the system partition of my old nexus 7 (2012 16 GB version), also running omni has only 649mb.
g2: 2724 mb system, 10640 mb rest
nexus 7: 649 mb system, 13720 mb rest
Because lg set it to that size. Their stock ROM is actually big when uncompressed, but /system is always large.

[Q] How to reduce system data

Hi all,
since our LG g2 cannot be expanded with an SD-card we need to be a little economical with our RAM. What strikes me first after I have installed stock Lollipop is almost 6 GB of System Data! as others can confirm, too

Is there a possibility to reduce this?

There's no 6GB of system data, there's probably just a couple of gigabytes. There is, however, a 6GB partition reserved for the system. This means that the only way to "empty" up the space from this partition is to re-partition the device (move parts of the /system/ partition into /data/), which is, as far as I know, impossible under a locked bootloader.

Lowering system partition to expand data partition

I am just curios is it posible to repartition out NAND memory to make our system smaller and our data bigger because custom roms for our phone are lot smaller in size then our factory rom.So we have 1gb trapped in system partition so is it posible to partition it like that so we transfer that gb to data?

Samsung J3 (2016) - internal memory almost full - who's using it?

I've got an almost fresh and empty J3 (2016) with stock Android 5.1.1
One of my friends has been complaining about low internal memory warnings.
So I installed TWRP and got it rooted.
It shows the following:
System memory - 7,02 GB
Used space - 664 MB
Available space - 310 MB
And when I do a TWRP backup, it says - ok, system partition is approx 1.4 GB, data 800 MB. In total, full system backup is slightly more than 2 GB.
Where did the rest 6 GB of internal memory go?
Mind you, there is *no* pictures, no video, no apps, nothing.
Wiped cache/dalvik.
But 5 or 6 gigs are still missing. Whats wrong with this picture?
Maybe there's a hidden partition? Can you give me a hint how to visualize ALL internal memory, all available partitions? And possibly kill and resize the useless ones.
I'd greatly appreciate it!
