Nexus S has 1GB ROM/internal storage

So there is no slot for memory card in Nexus S,was hoping that atleast the memory distribution would have been like the Galaxy S which has got 1.83GB of internal storage for games/apps,which is quite a lot.
But apparently{quite surprisingly} Nexus S has got just 1GB{0.95GB to be exact} as the internal storage.

It has 16 gb actually

android_master meant for installation on "internal" memory the 16gb is partitioned to make a mountable "sdcard" style partition for the PC so it could be used for froyo style apps to sd but its kinda dumb to have to do it that way
hopefully when we get root (hopefully its as simple as the N1) we can flash a partition change that increases "internal" memory

You won't fill up 1gb of apps . Even then, there's enough that can be moved to the sdcard.

the problem with that therory is that just today google released a blog entry about the new market updates and how they are increasing the limit of app size to 50mb with more and more game devs coming to android that 1 gig will fill up fast and because the 14gb partition is fat32 there will be, albeit it negligible, a slowdown with apps on sd

i'm wondering too if it would be possible to change the internal partitions to make, say, 8 GB internal and 8 GB "emulated sd"... will be interesting to find out

anything is possible . depends on if the 1gb and 16 gb are partitions of the same space or if they are separate. if separate, is there a way to switch it so the 16 gb is read as the primary internal and the 1gb as the "emulated sd". I'm thinking in terms of separate computer hard drives to make sense of it in my mind.

Move to SD card! Most games or big apps will have that feature, since many devices come with around 1-1.5 GB of ROM.

it's one 16GB card inside, around 1GB is for system storage, 1GB for Apps and 13.3GB for the sd card.
You can't screw around with the system storage part, but repartitioning it would allow you to change about 14GB of it. To which if you wanted you could do 7/7. but that would be pretty dumb since no one will ever fill up 7GB in the data partition.
If you seriously think your going to be downloading a lot of 50MB apks, then changing the data to 2-3GB would be best, leaving 10GB for the sd card partition.
And obviously, this is all assuming we can even do it. I think 1GB+Apps2SD should be fine.

SD usage

Hi guys,
I have an issue with memory space on SD.
When I check usage in ES explorer or in android I can see that only 1.95GB is free and 10.97 is used. But when I check usage of /sdcard it is 5.22GB
Where did the rest of GBs disappeared? I tried to find hidden files but there is nothing significant.
How can I found what is using the rest of my memory? How to clean it? I have tried with some cleaning apps
but with no success.

/sdcard is only the storage you see if you didn't root. Android has other files and folders that's not apart of sdcard.

Hi
The 8GB or 16GB that come with the device are just the total.
To these we must subtract that used by the operating system.
In a nexus of 16G, only 11G is available to the user, the rest uses Android for your stuff.
I hope I have helped you and excuse my English, Google translate helps me.
Saludos!

This is why you don't buy the 8GB but also why you should invest on 16GB, they're trying to promote cloud computing.

How is this going to help me? I know I can format SD but I am trying to find out what is occupying memory.
console -> ./Android 2506248 KB -> 2566397952 Bytes -> 2.39GB
ES exp ->Android 1.19GB -> 1275463754 Bytes -> diff=1290934198 Bytes=1.2GB
It seems that amount of memory is some how doubled????
Am I seeing this wrong or?

It'll help by erasing EVERYTHING on your phone so the usage will be quite reasonable.

Why to erase or change ROM? It is enough to format sdcard... but I want to know the reason...

I am having the exact same issue.
I have the 16GB variant, and after a clean Google stock rom flash, it sees only 5,27GB, just like being an 8GB variant.
How is this possible?

bah, I have reading yesterday and today a lot about this but I cannot find a problem. Some people also have this issue.
1. /sdcard/ (along with /root/ directory and other system-level directory)
2. /storage/emulated/0/
3. /storage/emulated/legacy/
4. /storage/sdcard0/
All of those folders have same memory usage and amount of files 3.38GB but yet 8.96GB is being used, and only 3.96Gb free out of 12.93GB.
What is using 5GB of space I do not know....
EDIT:
When I check properties of a Andorid folder:
1.7GB 1826870517
2811 Files 580 Folders
When I check in console:
3584128kB->3.41GB
3392 Files
When I went on file level...
17952kB->17.53 MB
4249006B->4.05 MB
4934876B->4.70 MB
So directory usage is double then file usage.... how is that?

Hello Rajnus,
Since it seemed that we were the ONLY ones having this issue with our device, and no solution could be seen @ the end of the tunnel, I have sent my LG N4 to LG for service.
The verdict was that the memory chip on the main PCB was faulty, and they replaced it under warranty. I sent it to LG in the morning, and received it the same day in the afternoon.
Phone works flawlessly now, I suggest you take this step.
All the best!

Txn for the info.
Did you got a new phone or just new memory?
Sent from mobile

Nope, unfortunately I did not get a new phone, they just replaced the main PCB, which, of course, affected the device IMEI as well.

Well, I will return to stock ROM and return it to the shop. There is big chance to get a new one because in Austria they do not bother to repair phones...

I have wiped whole memory and it seems fine now. Maybe it was problem in ROM or something....but I will keep my eye on it

Your issue is described below and was not faulty hardware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033692
The op could be running into the same thing, if I understand the problem correctly, or there are cwm backups taking up additional space.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I already tried the described methods the night before taking it to LG without results.
I even installed AParted to check overall available space, and it too showed ~5,9GB.

I suppose that you have root and custom recovery. Did u check how much space takes all of the backups? info about it is no avaible from android. Just check in recovery, If u use CWM, check option "free unused backup data". Give me feadback if it works for you.

I know the PE uses 6,50 GB for the OS

Now I check my internal storage for the rest, I should have 9.50 GB. It says I am using 7.99 GB which does not make sense, I have nothing downloaded on the device, other then the apps, which is says that is using 3.50 GB. I know I can use a SD card, but I would still like to know what is using my memory up. Any suggestions as to where all the storage is, TIA

No suggestions ?? I assume this storage is normal then ??

Do you have a custom recovery and did any backups? I think TWRP counts backups as system data.

Must be a normal thing then. I was surprised my phone also had so much memory taken, but I thought it's because of the recovery. Apparently not...

I'm on Stock MM 6.0, rooted and with TWRP 3.0.0-1 installed, and Andoid OS is taking up 10.82GB on my device.
So your values aren't terribly different from mine. I'm thinking yours is probably normal, then.

Well I decided to add a SD card to my device, and low and held, it allows you the option to use it as internal storage, which is nice, rather then a portable device, which you can also if you choose that. So I like the option of being able to use it as internal. Any reason why I should not do so, before I set it as such ??

@DJB628 I questioned this at first. By making it adoptable (internal) storage, it encrypts the card, so it can't be used on other devices. I have problems with that. Many times, my SD cards have "failed" in the phones, but I was able to use a card reader on pc to see files. I was able to transfer them to new card, put new card in phone, and done..... Can't do that if SD card is adopted to internal storage...

Got it, so keeping it as a portable storage is best :good:
Can't that be done, if the card is formatted and allow you to use it in another device. ??

Crazy I got on here for help bc of the same issue. I haven't installed a micro SD yet. I have the 32g version. Only have 23 apps installed, no music, no pics. Stock rom rooted systemless. Twrp 3.0 with 2 backups made. And somehow I'm already out of storage. I can't figure it out.

Wow that is crazy, something definitely does not make sense. I would call Motorola Tech support to see what they say, I will also next week, to try to make sense of this.

@Carolina_techy
Clearly something is taking up the space. Use a file manager or windows to explore. I bet you have some huge image files or tmp files. How much space is the twrp folder taking up?

From what I can tell, it looks like the majority of that is coming from the 2 backups I have. I didn't think they would be that big though.

^^So the issue is resolved?
How much space is it taking up? I image a full image (system, boot, data), uncompressed is probably in the 2-4GB range? You need to enable compression when creating the backups. That saves some room.

[LG MAGNA] Guide to use SD card as internal storage - Marshmallow

Hello people.
For those who have updated their MAGNA to android 6.0 official ... and want to use the SD card as internal storage .. and do not find this option when formatting the SD card here .. taking method LG forum in SPIRIT on XDA. This method has been tested by me and successfully.
- Backup your data on SD because all data will be lost after formatting and encryption SD card (you can copy the latest since the backup on PC.
- Enable USB debugging mode in developer settings.
- Open ADB SHELL command (from the ADB folder .. shift + right mouse button ... OPEN A WINDOW COMMAND)
- List avaliable disks to get disk ID. It can be done with following command:
sm list-disks
You will get your SD Card ID (ex.: disk:179,64, which will be used in next step.
In our example the id is 179.64 for you ... you-remember number that is yours.
After that .. we have the choice of using any SD card or internal memory or half If you want to use only part of SD as Internal Storage and rest as standard Removable Disk, for example 50:50, ...
So it recapitulates the command line:
For all of the SD card :
adb shell
sm list-disks
sm partition disk:179,64 private
For 50/50 of the SD card:
adb shell
sm list-disks
sm partition disk:179,64 mixed 50
Remember that 179.64 is an example .. ID with you to put yours
Here is a screenshot of the command 50/50

why?
why am I am not able to find the option of formatting SD card as internal storage? I mean, could I do anything to get this, like reseting to factory the mobile instead of doing the former? why is LG magna working in that sense different than other mobiles with Android 6?

not working on International LG Magna

Worked on Lg Spirit after the update to Marshmallow
Thanx for everything, your post was the most helpful I found. I was worried after the update to Marshmallow. Finally worked I did a mixed sd 50-50. :good:

root ur phone then use terminal emulator and follow the steps above

What happen after removing SD card I mean if i want remove SD card then what?

First of all thank you for your guides titeuf15, they've helped me a lot.
I don't get how this one works. I have rooted my phone with success. I followed every step on this guide with success. Now what? How do i check if it worked and how do i install apps on my SD?
Edit: Nevermind, i just realized i have to install a third party app that will transfer apps to SD. Thank you!

Happy for you.
Otherwise you can use ROOT ESSENTIALS (must be ROOTE) .. This is a great tool

Hello there,
I've tried this in a LG H-500f with Android 6.0 (no rooted). I followed the guide and everything seemed to work. The phone recognized my external sdcard (64Gb) as part of the device's storage. The problem is that it doesn't seem to work in practice. So far I've identified 2 issues:
- Issue 1: When the internal memory gets full, it doesn't continue using the sdcard "part" as expected. The system just pops up a message saying that there is insufficient storage. As a workaround for this, I moved big part of the apps from the internal memory to the sdcard. This freed space in the internal memory, allowing me to install more stuff.
- Issue 2: apps that live on the sdcard are moved to the internal memory after being updated. This is a big problem, because apps are updated(reinstalled) continuously and the device runs out of memory pretty fast. On top of that, they seem to lose all their previous configuration parameters (user accounts, etc etc).
Any ideas on how to fix this? The phone is not bad, but this storage issue is really a killer. Is it really necessary to root your phone in order to enable this guide? (I don't think). Any alternatives?
Thanks in adavance

Hey, I was pondering about to follow this guide or not... Did you find out any solutions for these two issues you stated?
I was quite convinced to proceed before to see your post
Do you think is due to the fact that you didn't rooted your device first?

Woaah first reply .
Amazing work dude .
I was searching for quite a time for a tool to partition sd card without voiding my warranty (without root).
It was so easy and so much useful . Thanks buddy .

add example screenshots for formatting mode 2 - 50% Internal\50% SDCard, SD Card 2GB.

Where can I get "aftiss.cmd" file?:laugh:

Does this support a 100% internal mode? I wanna use this to force adoptable storage on devices that hide the user menu for it.

I'm tempted to do this but I tend to change ROMs on a somewhat regular basis. My question is, what happens to the data stored in the formated as internal sd card partition?

Where can i download tool?

Awesome work. I will try this on my LG STYLO PLUS 2 as soon as I can.

Sorry for the noob question, but what is the benefit of this? Is it better to have it stay as external so there will no app/file will be harmed/affected when I remove it?

The internal partition will not be visible on the other device, a SD Card partition will work fine.

Trying it now, how long should the format itself take? Been at "Formatting Disk: 179,0 ..." for about 5 minutes so far...

To avoid such problems, before re-partition, format the memory card as removable media.

Sorry for the noob question, but what is the benefit of this? Is it better to have it stay as external so there will no app/file will be harmed/affected when I remove it?

You can move applications to the memory card with the cache, this significantly saves the memory of your smartphone. Here only a problem in that, system is standard formats the memory card as internal storage OR portable storage, and this is not entirely convenient.
This script allows you to use the memory card as internal storage and portable storage, at the same time!

Anyone used this with Nougat?

Wow I never thought about this possibility.
Until now I only stayed with removable SD card mode, because portability is a high priority. Especially due to the backups that I keep on there. An all-adoptable SD card was therefore never a feasible option for me.
A partition for each is an amazing solution to get the best of both worlds.
I will definitely try this later on.
However, what are your experiences with readability on other platforms?
Windows usually can only read one partition on portable storage. Which partition does show up in the Windows file manager?

Can i use this on Lollipop 5.1?
