Hello everyone,
after flashing a Custom Rom (Pixel Experience) with twrp, my available internal storage shrunk from 53 to 11 gigabytes. Even after I switched to a different Custom Rom. When I connect the phone to my pc it's listed with 11 gb aswell. Do you guys have any idea how I can revert it back to original size? Did I create a partition or something by mistake?
I'm grateful for any help and suggestions.

(I think) I have created an extended partition from the Recovery mode, but is there any way I can check to see what size it is so I can confirm I've done it correctly?
I've set it to 1024Mb, but when installing apps I keep getting a warning that I'm out of space, and that can't be right as I had all these apps installing in the internal memory before flashing this new ROM.
Any app management help gratefully received.
What ROM are you using?
The partition can only be 'seen' with special scripts that will move your apps to that partition.
Hi K0smic, thanks for the response. I'm using the ROM, radio and kernel shown in the top of this thread:

Hi all!
i'm not very experienced at this so if i say something stupid please correct me.
i tried setting up PACMAN rom on my S4 yesterday, and i noticed while in TWRP it showed that the S4 still has 9GB free, even after wiping and formatting the internal SD.
I did not install the ROM yet.
I take it the missing GB's are used in a system partion? which is only available when installing ROMs? Does PACMAN take up that much space or is there now space on the system partition that's not being used?
again, if this is not how it works, let me know.

PAC rom takes up very little space only. Tried it ytd. However, the missing spaces that is used for system purpose, cannot be used for apps or storage. (Not that I know of)

thank you for you answer. I won't repartition then.
On my I337 (rooted with SAFESTRAP 3.71), my STOCK ROM DATA partition is 9970MB with CACHE PARTITION AT 2046MB. I'm not sure how these were set (loaded a base 4.3 with ODIN), but when trying to load HYPERDRIVE in ROM-SLOT, TWRP shows only 12MB free! Nothing is on my device (like music, big files, etc), because I use the 32G external memory. My question is this (based on all I read), is it possible the STOCK ROM size might be reduced if I do a FACTORY/DATA/CACHE RESET and reinstall my backup from TWRP? Not sure what is consuming space and if you can't repartition it without losing the root...I'm not sure which way to proceed being I got this far. Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
PS: the storage indication from within system shows: system 6.26G, used space 1.18G, cache 66MB, misc file 353MB, avail space 8.15G

The stock slot will never be reduced as it's the basic internal storage. Safestrap doesn't partition the internal storage, it makes image files where it holds all the slots on the internal storage. The 12mb thing is a glitch and i don't remember how to fix it if possible.
No space for adding custom ROM (S4, i337)

Well, you guys would know. If there is a lead or something you can think of regarding the "glitch"...it would be greatly appreciated. Just asking, is it possible the STOCK ROM size/usage might be reduced if I do a FACTORY/DATA/CACHE RESET and reinstall my backup from TWRP? If so, which ones (ie. just Cache, Data, or Dalvik) so that I stay rooted and can restore my backup? Thanks in advanced.

The size of the stock slot doesn't change, and shouldn't. Even if you restore a ROM slot to the stock slot, it will use the full space of the phone.
Only 12mb free for rom-slot1

So perhaps I'm not asking the right question??? What would limit the ability to create/activate ROM SLOT1, if what you say (the STOCK SLOT) has no effect on the space available? Could it be a ghost remnant from MF3? Seems the question has been asked with no resolution?
Help needed please. My internal memory became full and then after I was able to clear some space, I can no longer write to the internal memory. Ie I can't download anything from the Internet, or I can't create a new file on the internal memory. Any ideas how to rectify please? Running stock 5.0.1 rooted ROM.
Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so, which one?
No custom recovery installed
Try reinstalling your ROM through Odin. Back up your files first.
This has resolved issue thank you
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.
