Asus zenfone X008D full root space - Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I have a Zenfone 3 Max I guess ( serie in the back X008D), which is lagging so much, I tried many factory resets but nothing improved.
While browsing settings I found that space used by the root is full, 7.98/7.98 Gb i think the problem is from this.
Is there any method how to reinstall the whole system, or rooting it if it can help solve this issue.
I searched in google and asus forum but I found nothing..
thanks in advance.

are you referring to what you see available in the "storage settings" page? My system reserved storage is 11.34/11.34gb and my phone doesn't lag. Click on "internal shared storage" and "clear cached data" if you are low on space there as well.
When did it start lagging? Backup all your apps with titanium backup and then uninstall them one by one and see which was causing the issue. Or just do a factory reset and then load your apps back one by one and see which causes it to lag.
Or is your phone lagging with just the base stock Rom and no other apps on it?

No issue
We have a the same exact phone model.
And i have no problem at all.
What u saw is normal
So i think that is not the problem.

the storage isn't the problem

I just bought the phone, it was used, I like the phone I'll try some fixes before returning it.
I cleared the cache and it's still lagging.
Yes it's lagging with the stock ROM I guess (all ASUS apps are installed in it), there is no other app but stock app installed in it, lagging isn't caused by my installed apps.
RAM always have 1.5 - 2 Gb free.
I guess it's a CPU is failing.
Thanks guys for the help.
If there is anything else I can do before returning the phone to the seller please advise me ? I kinda liked the phone and it was a good deal.

I think ASUS made some mistakes on their latest update : https://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=164682&extra=page=1&filter=&sid=1|8
Is there a way how to get back to an older version of Android 6 ?

you can "freeze" Asus' bloatware apps by following this guide and you don't need root to do it.

since your boot loader is locked, it's a little more difficult to downgrade. Try freezing the apps first. I believe you need to flash the recovery image from the firmware version you want to flash, then you can downgrade to the stock firmware. Its been a long time since in had a locked boot loader, lol

Weird problem with wipe data/factory reset

Hey guys. I am facing a weird problem.
A little background first. I have the u8800 pro. When i bought the phone, the internal storage space was from what i recall 900+MB(almost 1 GB) and was available to me. I installed some apps, a few days passed and then i saw that an update was out(official 2.3 from huawei website).At this time, i had about 700+MB available.
I did the update, everything went fine but after i installed THE SAME apps i had before(through the huawei backup app) i noticed that now the available internal storage space was reduced by 150MB(about 550 total).
So today i decided to do a wipe data/factory reset to free some space because i thought that the "missing" 150 MBs were "garbage" left from the previous installation.
I did the reset , and i noticed that i had only 470 MB available.Without installing anything. I had a "clean" phone, only with the stock apps and i expected that i would have again all of 900+MB available. I did another factory reset,back to back, and when i turned on the phone, the storage reduced even more, now at 420 MB! And after the installation of all the other apps i had before, there is only 200MB storage.
What the hell is going on? Is there a solution?
One thing could worth trying: Re-install the 2.3. Download it from Huawei and install it. If you dont want to try it, you can go to the store that sold it to you and ask them. If you go to store, it will probably be sent to warranty for repair.
I installed DiskUsage from market and the results it shows me are:
Applications 135 MB
System Data 560MB!
560 MB for system data seem A LOT to me...
I did a clean installation of 2.3 again, but the storage now, is even lower. With NO 3rd party app installed, 320 MB available.
In that case, restore stock rom and take it to warranty. We cant do anything to it here.
Could you please tell me how to restore stock rom?I already have it, i just dont know how to flash it.
(I , now, have rooted phone if it makes any difference).
did you resolve the issue? can u tell me?

Apps Thinking I have an SD Card & not working

Hi, I recently was on paranoid android and was getting ready to sell my galaxy s4 I9505 so restored a back up I made of the stock rom which was what came on the phone when I bought it.
I restored the back up, but once the phone had booted it was really slow and I kept getting loads of error messages saying different processes had kept failing. The same as in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...restoring-stock-rom-cwm-t2882455#post55566370
I then booted back into recovery and wiped data and dalvik cache, which after rebooting sorted the problem. The device was running smoothly and so I went on downloading my apps from the play store.
But I've since noticed apps like swift key, instagram, whatsapp and snap chat seem to be having issues. I don't have any SD card installed just the phones internal memory, which I have ample space (9GB) but whatsapp won't let me download images.
Snapchat says I need to install an sd before viewing video and Instgram mentions I need an SD before being able to take a picture.
Also the language pack for Swiftkey won't download and when I try and download a theme it says it can't save it.
So it seems there's something wrong with the way it's trying to store certain files. Has anyone else come across this yet?
I'm planning on following the whole unroot process anyway documented here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477 which I'm hoping will fix it.
But I wondered if anyone knew what it is that's caused it?

Did you install the stock rom before or have you just restored your old backup?
If I were you, I would clean everything, install the stock sammy firmware (with latest base) and after that restore your backup

No it's not a rom, I just restored my old back up of my OS before I started flashing any custom roms.
I did a factory reset on the phone hoping it might resolve it. Which hasn't, but I'm not sure now if it's got rid of CWM. Would as I can't seem to get it to boot into recovery (it maybe just me not releasing the volume up button at the right time).
Think I'm going to have to flash a clean stock firmware following the unroot process and hope that fixes it.

[Q] Apps Keep restarting causing lag

Dear,
I am using LG G2 D802 stock 4.4.2 ROM no root and no task killers/managers. I read a lot about how android handles the RAM and I found that it keeps the programs in it for easier access the next time which is good.
My problem now is when I open an app e.g. facebook it loads and when I press the home button and open another app then get back to it it loads again and many times when I press the home button the launcher loads and it takes about 2 seconds. Every time I open the settings and go to running apps I find that most of the programs are restarting.
Why are they restarting? There is plenty of RAM so no need for them to close at first. Please help
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried removing all applications other than the stock apps to see if that addresses your issue? If you boot into safe mode does it still happen? Have you wiped the phone's cache?
The problem is getting worse and All apps are restating now.

On what base are you?d f etc?...try to backup all your data and factory reset.
Stock Rom with no root. Can you recommend a backup software which works without root?
Thanks

Bummer this thread didn't go anywhere. I'm trying to find answers for the same issue. A clean wipe helps for a bit, but it doesn't work for long. I've even tried a new ROM (stock based). No luck. Did you ever solve your issue?
I had this problem for a while, when I installed a custom kernel with a seemingly aggressive memory management. Switching it to 'low' instead of 'default' fixed it, but I'm not sure if my case applies here since the OP is talking about stock ROM and kernel.

Happen to grab any screen shots of the error? Never heard of, nor seen this one. I only use internal, I have a 64gb sd-card laying around, I just don't need the space. Sorry to hear of this error, hopefully can figure out what it is.
i was also getting a titanium backup error FC also when this was happening, so i uninstalled TB and have rebooted a few times and no more white box internal problem error. It kept my apps installed and some settings but lost some minor settings. Strange that TB could of caused that. I really didnt want to have to factory reset.I know i should of taken a screenshot. I was panicking...lol.

Google Photos - stuck backup

Hello people, I am new to this device and forum. I would appreciate any help you can give. I love the device, but I am struggling with something concerning Google Photos. It keeps getting stuck at various points in the backup process. I have searched several ways and have tried the suggestions about uninstalling updates, clearing the data cache, even purchased a new SD card... but still it is stuck. On previous phones, I have had NO problems with this at all on my previous phones. I have updated to MIUI 11 and I am using Nova Pro as my launcher. I have also tried using the Gcam mod on the phone and somehow I wonder if this is part of the issue?
Feedback please.
Solved with MIUI 11. Update and make full reset AFTER update (Settings --> About Phone --> Backup and reset --> Clean all data --> All).
Worked for me. If not, i dont know (try with another account?).

Thanks for the info! So, were you having similar issues before you did the reset? I have already updated to MIUI Global 11.0.4 but I have not tried the reset yet.
To help with this conversation... it seems that if I remove all the Google Photo updates, it behaves correctly, BUT when I allow the app updates to go through, the backup issue returns.
I will try the reset suggestion soon and report back.
To keep this discussion moving along, here is an update... I did the full reset after I had already upgraded to MIUI 11, however, the same issue persists for me. If I allow Google Photos to update past what was originally installed, the app gets stuck again. I can uninstall all updates and clear the caches and it will start working OK again. This is a pain and the issue should not exist. Let me emphasize that the devise is NOT rooted and is all original. I have installed Nova Prime launcher from the Play Store and my usual apps.
Anyone else have ideas - outside rooting and using a custom ROM?
Ok, to add a little more... I removed Nova as I wonder if there is some incompatibility with how it works with MIUI. It was acting a bit odd at times and "often" it would loose its ability to display notification badges. It would say that I needed to enable notification access, but I am 100% sure that it was already allowed. I would then turn that permission off and back on and it would start working again. So, I have gone to the less custome "Poco" launcher which is sup[posed to be a more official Xaiomi product.
