Hi.
I have question regarding the J7. I need to replace my old Nexus 5 due to a failing battery. I am looking at the J7 but am worried about how many applications can be installed before an out of memory error comes up The reason I ask is I was given a J3 as a work phone and could only install a few apps before I got a memory space error. Unfortunately I have left that job and had to give that phone back.

Hello I got the ZTE Blade Q mini for my girlfriend but we just got to the point where we can't update any app because we get an error that there is not enough space to install. (while yes, we have at least 3GB of free space in the phone and the SD card).
I checked around and it seem that it is a know problem with 4GB phones and how the playstore use it's temp file and that I can't do many things while the phone is stock.
The question is what I have to do to go through this problem?
Should I root the phone? How this can be done?
Should I use a custom ROM? How this can be done and which ROM?
Sorry if this questions are nothing new, but after searching for a couple of days in the forum didn't found enough info to know exactly what to do, and I'm afraid to start experiment with a phone that is not mine.
Thanks for your time.
Hi Nitro, I know this an old thread but its a problem with most android phones. Just lately I been trying app2sd, which I think is the best of its type? and I now have an embarrassingly large amount of apps on my little blade q mini, but it don't always run that smoothly you know. Just recently I've been thinking of a new Rom and a lean and mean machine. A racer stripped to the bone and ready to roll. But after a while I'll get bored and start tinkering again. just moving a few apps to the SD. and so on...
Hello, we have stopped trying to update, we are ready to trash this phone and get a winphone...
This is stupid and I blame google because the playstore is to blame here, who can't use a temp file in SD card.
Anyway if you have found any rom for the phone I could love to know, I want to give it a go before we change the phone.

whichever Rom hooky use your still gonna get the problem with the lack of space for apps
if it is use less space on the phone we will be fine, because we are able to move apps in the sd card, we just don't have enough space in the phone for the google play store to use as temp file. And we can't delete anything because the space is used by core and undeleted apps.
here's a thought. why not bypass the play store. just download the apk file into your sd card and install it? this works for me
Hi All
I have just managed to Root the above device SM-T285, With TWRS and SuperSU. Could anyone advise please what Bloatware can be removed now after rooting without causing any harm/problems?
As you will all know its only 8GB but get half of that in reality. I won't realise use many of the stock apps if any. Would anyone have a list of programs/apps that can be deleted from within system/app directory.
I am not confident about adding roms etc quite like the skin etc thats on it and lay out, just want the stuff gone to free up space on the device. I do have a separate SD card in the device but still want device storage increased if possible.
Thanking you all in Advance!

Hi,
This is related to a previous thread where internal memory gets full, which was solved temporarily.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/rr5-8-4-athene-internal-memory-filled-t3678840
I am using
[ROM][OFFICIAL] Resurrection Remix v5.8.5 [7.1.2_r29][XT16xx][athene] + Magisk + ElementalX on Moto G4 Plus with 128 GB SD card as adopted storage.
The internal memory was getting full within a week, and with the help of suggestions received, I located that /data/power_supply_logger had .csv log files which were 20GB+ in size. So I deleted them and solved the problem at the time.
Then it repeated in a week I had the same issue. the log files grow about 2 MB every minute. I removed write permissions to the folder and deleted the file.
I noticed that since I removed the permissions to write, the battery life really got longer and the phone also charges much quickly now. Some users pointed out that battery was charging slowly in RR - I faced that problem too and it looks like has gone away. I would like to make it a bit cleaner - a process making an attempt to write every minute and failing is got a good work around.
Using AppsSD I found that /system/bin/batt_health running as mot_pwric user is attempting to write every minute and now that the permission is removed the attempt is failing.
Is there a way I can disable this process - it is not listed in Apps or System apps.
Or if anyone knows how to disable logging by batt_health, that would be better.
Thanks

Maybe some of your apps are logging there?! I have this folder too, but empty.
/system/bin/batt_health running as mot_pwric user is the process logging it. How to disable this process - or if it is spawned by an app, how to locate the parent app.

My suggestion: Just install the rom and gapps mini/pico or beans mini and see if it logs again. If not: install ONE of your 3rd party apps, see if it happens again. If not, install the next one and so on.
Maybe you have switched something on in Rom settings?

I too have this folder and is showing 1.01mb in size.
I cut out read acces to batt_health and it seems nothing has changed.
Also i search folders for battery stats and all are nrml to me.
All of them combined also im not getting more than 10+mbs.
Idk what u have been using or any particular reason for you
I'll suggest clean flash your rom. Use verified gapps and restore backup of apps only and not data. If and if only you need that data restore it.
Use device for 3 to 4 days and see if problem exist.
OK. I will try these suggestions and see if goes away.
I have a rooted (verified with Root Checker Basic) Samsung J500G

Root Essentials to remove bloatware and change SD card to internal storage
Devise has worked great for a couple of months. No issues at all. Except today Malwarebytes started asking questions.
Device has Malwarebytes Premium that give me a couple messages I need help with before doing anything
1. Malwarebytes just started reporting that Root Essentials as ransomeware
2. Security Audit wants to turn off Developer Mode
3. Security Audit wants to turn on Device Encryption
Any advice on these three Malwarebytes issues would be much appreciated. I'm a total noob when it comes to Android and it took a long time to get the device setup the way I wanted. So I'm trying to be careful not to jack-it-up.
Cheers
Hello new here and while I have done some searches I am not quite finding what I am looking for which is maybe because I am not asking the right questions or searching for the right terms so hopefully someone can direct me to the right place!
I have an old Galaxy Grand Prime Sm-G530W running Android 5.1.1. It has 8gb storage and I would like to maybe remove some of the apps that I wont use, are not useful or are just bloatware.
However I am not sure what apps are what and which one I should avoid removing?
The phone will be used primary to make calls, will not be on a data and only use free wifi hotspot and the wife from my home.
I would like to maybe keep some kind of google maps ability, I do not want chrome but rather would use firefox along with ad blockers etc I know work well for me on FF.
I have have done some research but not a phone expert by far so I am not sure I want to root my phone, install custom roms. I read something about remove bloatware via "remove the pre installed apps using ADB commands" however figured I get some tips advice from people that know what they are talking about.
Ideally it would be great if there was some kind of program I can just plug into from my PC or some such that allows me to then simply remove the samsung and google bloat or unwanted programs so I could gain more room for apps I do want.
Right now after factory reset it uses like 3.50GB out of 8gb.
is there any Debloat program I can use on it out there?

Hello member of this small community, well the best way to remove bloatware is by root, the process is relatively simple.
1) Download the twrp recovery (.tar) belonging to the model you have.
2) Install it through Odin
3) Install Magisk Manager
With this done you can use applications such as root uninstaller, another alternative is to look if there is a custom rom for your model, but do not expect much as many roms have been abandoned and only a new project is kept alive, if the current rom does not present problems in performance, I recommend you leave it alone and start removing junk apps, another recommendation is to install SD maid, a great app for cleaning junk content of the phone.
