Hi friends, just this morning I clean flashed xiaomi.eu ROM in my lavender 32gb version. I wiped everything even the internal storage for a smooth start. After the boot I checked to see how much storage we actually get and it was just 20 GB out of 32 GB. 6-7 GB for system is understandable but 12 GB reserved for system seems too much... Is there any way to access that unusable storage?? Or can we decrease that reserved storage?
System use 12gb, is normal there's nothing to do, it's not android 4
It's a heavily modified aosp code,i recommend convert to other aosp roms.

My XT1575 shows a System Rom size of 4.16 GB with 2.04 GB free after a fresh flash of Moto's stock Rom.
Seeing as I opted for the 16 GB X (albeit with a 64 GB SD card) that doesn't leave a lot of room on the actual internal memory.
Is that right? Why is there more than 2 GB just sitting there that I can't use? Even after updating all the Google/system apps that free space in the system rom doesn't change.
I came from a N6 where there was only 30 MB free in the system partition, so this seems a bit extreme.
Is there a reason for the huge chunk of unusable space? Can I adjust it?
Any insight/help would be greatly appreciated.
Can someone help!

You can't. You never had the full 16 GB.
From the 16 GB, the user only gets 8-9 GB to use for apps, music, photos etc.

TL;DR: the actual storage of your phone is ~9GB because of partitions and formatting. Read below for a more detailed explanation.
Actually that ~9.1GB is the "correct storage". Yes, you only have that much space available for your data in your internal storage. It happens for a couple of reasons. First is that the device doesn't actually have 16GB, but a bit less, since the calculation of storage is in bits, and 8 bits == 1 byte. Your phone has 16,000,000,000 bytes, but actually 16GB is 17,179,869,184 bytes, as you can see, you have almost 1GB less than you actually should. Now to the real problem. The partitioning of the device.
Samsung allocates a lot, I really mean A LOT of memory to system. So from that ~15GB you had left, you have ~1.1GB allocated to system, ~2GB allocated to cache (which IMHO is stupid, since it never even got to 500MB in my phone and most real cache data is stored in data partition), that gives us ~12GB left, then there are some other partitions which I don't recall myself now that will occupy those other 12GB, leaving only 9.1GB left to your actual usage.
Hope I didn't mess up any part up there haha.
All the best,
~Lord

I don't exactly understand what your issue is, but this should definitely shed some light on the S4 partition sizes.
My Nexus 4 had the latest factory image 5.1, I then rooted my device and flashed PureNexus marshmallow. Everything works as it should,except my sdcard is showing at only having about 500mb of space remaining.
I have a 16gb device, I am guessing with the rom, one twrp backup and my apps, I should still have at least 7gb of space available.
Is it possible the device has created a duplicate sd card, when browsing through my internal storage I cannot find any files would be eat up almost 16gb!!
Thanks.
Is the phone recognized as an 8 or 16 GB version on PureNexus?
Is there anyone who can tell me how to fix my internal storage problem? I am currently on crdroid 8.1 ROM but it just showing me 9.5 GB of current internal storage in every file manager but it shows 13.55 GB of internal storage in settings. I am not able to find the missing 3 GB. Someone please help me!
Ps - sorry for bad English.
Really I just filled 7 GB and 2gb free total 9 GB but why file manager just showing 11 GB of internal storage? And what the heck is settings showing?

Likely not a "bug". Device has 16GB of addressable (writeable) storage but not all of that is available for your use. Typically 10-11GB is set aside for user data including apps; rest is reserved for the rom and other system files, bootloader, kernel, modems, etc.

Likely reflects the total space used in the system + data partitions.
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!
