[V500] [Lollipop] Free space remaining on official V30A from Kore - G Pad 8.3 General

I flashed the zip containing the V300A Lollipop ROM based on the official Korean release. I found something suspicious about the free space, I was expecting a lot more free space to be available in the internal memory than on Kitkat since I moved some apps to the SD card. I have only about 2 GB free space reported by the system. If I use a file manager like Total Commander and try to get the amount of space occupied by all the folders in the internal memory, I get about 3 GB of space that should be occupied. I see something funny in the Misc section, as there are 4.65 GB of space occupied by System Data that I can't remove. I suspect that Android does a poor job on mounting the obb and data directories from the SD card and that it reports the space as being occupied twice. Can you share your situation?
Edit: I may have misinterpreted the data that the interface is showing, but I based some of my observations on what KitKat interface was showing me. It still does not explain why summing up the size of the folders does not add up to the occupied size of the internal memory.

Mănânc cai? Qashqai!

I know and I think I understand why. There are 12 GB of internal space left for the user, this space is occupied by apps. I noticed that after a reset the space available to the user on Lollipop is around 7 GB, right after reset. It is too little for me. I had the impression that on KitKat it was more, but it is about the same.

[Q] SafeStrap Storage

Hey Everyone!
Today I flashed SHOstock via SafeStrap v3.71 (MK2). I had a lot of internal storage. However, after flashing the ROM to rom-slot-1, I get a persistent message on the notification panel stating that "storage space is running low".
Storage apps in the app store say that I have 8.1 GB of internal storage, but the phone's storage settings states that I only have 145 MB of available space.
14.44 GB is being devoted to system memory which seems like an incredibly high amount.
Could someone explain what is going on and how I could rectify this issue?
Thank you in advance!
16gb phones have around 9.5 useable and 32gb phones have 22gb or so. Nothing we can do.

I understand that, however I have more free space than the rom in safestrap is showing. That is the problem.
When I open storage with the slot1 rom, this is what I see:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However, this is how much space I should have:
Don't you adjust the size of it when you create a rom slot? Whatever the slot size that you create will depend on what your free space will be. That is my understanding anyway.

[Q] All on board storage tied up in "system memory"

My girlfriends note three just gave her a low memory notification over the weekend. To my surprise storage is showing 29 gigs of the factory 32 tied up in "system memory". I can't seem to figure out what is taking up so damn much space. The phone is running hyper drive Version 7. I'm sure I'm leaving out some kind of important information so just ask. Thanks.

My guess that this has something to do with the ROM Slots in safestrap? Boot into recovery - is this rom on the stock slot? I always install to the stock slot so I have all memory available to me unlike installing to the other slots.

Didn't even think of that. I bet that's what the problem is. I'm pretty sure I left the stock slot alone. Thanks. I'll check it out.

[Q] How to free /System Memory???

go through all your apps in link2sd and click create link and then link everything to your 2nd partition
you may have to uninstall a few apps first if it comes up not enough storage and then once you have linked your apps you can install them again
if you have already linked apps then you must have an app that uses a hell of a lot of data - you can see what app that could be if you arrange apps in order of data use and then clear data of that app (note any saved settings/progress and so on within the app will be lost)
sometimes some apps misbehave after linking....specially software update thing:what:

The internal memory where user apps are installed is of /data partition.
So freeing up /system partiton is useless...instead u need to b concerned with freeing up /data partition(which is sufficiently free...I guess)
However, extra apps or scripts in /system partition CAN fill up RAM btw:sly:

[Q] Apps to SD on rooted S5 with Marshmallow

Hi
Is it possible to fully move installed apps to external SD card on Marshmallow ROM? In the past I was using Directory Bind app to do it and it was working ok but on Marshmallow its not working. Is there any solution to do that? I have read about Adaptive Storage feature being implemented on Marshmallow android but I dont see that option on my phone (under Settings-Storage). Is there a way to turn it on somehow? Or if not is another way to do it? I also heard about creating two partitions (fat and ext) on external SD card and using app like Link2SD but is it confirmed working? Whats the best way to do it?
Looks like you can go into each individual app from Application Manager, then go to Storage, and it gives the option to move the app to the External card
Nothing to do this for all apps that I can see though

Using built-in Application Manager doesnt move the WHOLE app and its files to external SD card. Some files stays in internal memory, usually the heaviest ones in obb folder. Tried to do that before moving some games this way but for example Hearthstone game despite being moved to external SD card stil keeps 800MB in internal memory. I want to move all that data to extSDcard.
well...
any luck of extending internal memory?

Can someone help me track down 11.14GB of missing data?

I hope this will be a simple solution. It appears that I am using nearly all of my 20.9 GB of Internal Storage available on my LG G6 (VS988 Rev.1.0 with Verizon). When I connect my phone to my PC and open the properties for the internal storage, the windows explorer shows 20.6 GB are used out of 20.9 available.

}
However, when I select all the files and folders in my internal storage, it shows that there are only 9.46 GB worth of files in my Internal Storage. This means that there are 11.14 GB of storage that is unaccounted for. Note that I also downloaded a disk analyzer on my phone and it also shows a similar file usage (it has total occupied drive space at 21.64 GB but shows my drive usage at 10.16 GB).
I have my computer set to show hidden files. Are there additional hidden files that I don't have the ability to see? Is it possible that I have a virus that is hidden from my file explorer? I was under the impression that I have 32 GB of storage space, and that ~10 GB of that storage is used for system files, leaving me with the 20.9 GB shown. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
I've included screenshots of my phone's data analyzer below.
Thanks!
I use a great app to find out where my spaces are being consumed - "windirstat" (windirstat.net). There is a portable app somewhere if you don't want to install it on your pc. Gives a nice breakdown visually where the biggest files are. May help you
If you have root you can also use SD Maid apk.
There is a storage analyzer where you can browse folders sorted by size.
Or try to use more functions in there: duplicates, corpse finder etc.
