LVM is coming to custom Roms and the 2gb problem will be solved once and for all. You do not need to format the SD card to NTFS. Just be a bit patient as the devs iron out this.

Hi all, thanks for kind support,
I've a 900V CID11 bootloader locked, unrooted, I installed MM 6.0.1 by safestrap.
MY phone is 16GB but it looks I've really small space for apps, someone can kindly describe me how the storage is allocated?
As I guess reading around, the safestrap eat me 2,5gb for some reason, then there is the rom space, then the "sdcard" folder for data. On sdcard I still have 500MB available but I think the phone doesn't want to use them for installing apps. I've 32GB SD but it looks also that with uroot phone I can't move apps there.
Any way to expand the space for installing apps? Any way to repartition the space? Use the 2,5gb of safestrap? Maybe repeat the procedure using flashfire?
By now I've a serious limitation. Thank you for help
I ask kind help, thank you
Well your only option is to look up how to use your 32gb as card as adoptable storage

thanks for answer,
may you kindly explain me breifly how the whole storage is allocated on the phone memory? What can it change if I'll have root (what can I edit/reallocate) and if one day someone will unlock the bootloader and I can load everything? (can I use the supposed 2,.5GB safestrap partition as system?)
Thank you
help needed to understand, thank you
do you need to know how to use the adoptable storage? And sorry for taking so long
I would know how 1)
Android partize the internal memory,
2) why data wipe is not wiping the /sdcard folder (I'm speaking about intenal memory),
3) if there exist a ROM partition and if it the same of "System" or two different
4) if it is possible to edit files inside System and ROM with root permissions
5) if System has a rigid partition size, or depends on the quantity of internal, and which criteria is used to assign the space.
6) If gapps are all stored in System
7) Where the 3rd party apps are stored
8) Where folder data is located, and it's not /sdcard folder.
9) if safestrap eats 2,5GB of space and hide it from a file explorer.
10 ) if it's possible to reduce safestrap partiton
11) if the space used from safestrap reduces directly the "system" partition, or even "data" and "/sdcard"
12) if it's possible to edit the partitions size, for example I've a big SD card and I sould like to use the internal memory almost for installing apps.
Thank you a lot!!! I can't find such infos.. and that is quite amazing. You can answer briefly
somebody can help clear? Thank you
Hopefully somebody can reply me, thanks
Do you still need help
Yes please, I would know how Android works with the storage, I think there are some hidden partitions that I can't see with xplore, containing ROM.
Xplore tells I've 11GB internal memory (and the phone has 16, where are othere 4/5?)
And also tells that:
root total amount is 2,47 GB, free 16%of 11GB=1,7GB
Internal storage (SD card folder)= 1,44GB, , free 16%of 11GB=1,7GB
2,47+1,44+1,7=5,61, where are other 5GB to make 11GB?
I think I lost somewhee 9 GB!
Thank you for help!
This might explain it more

What you are saying sounds about right with safestrap and rom slots. And 16gb just isn't all that much space to work with.
Root Essentials will allocate your sd card for you. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.superthomaslab.rootessentials
Also, with safestrap...are you using the main rom slot to boot into? if not, you should, then delete the other rom slots, that will free up a ton of space. plus if i were you, i would get rid of safestrap and flash TWRP on your phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909
Good luck
I thank you very much for your kind help!
Let's proceed by order, ok about the real 14,6GB, but does the ROM shows itself in xplore in the root folder? I think it should.. like I can see C:\ on the windows OS with all the system files. Or does Android hide the ROM files?
I agree about Safestrap caused it, I used it to mount the Android 6, I unfortunately have a CID11 S5 and I can't have it rooted, how can I recover the Safestrap wasted space? I think I'm using only the main ROM, I followed the procedure to root Lollipop and upgrade with Safestrap to MM.
Thank you a lot!
Any help here? Thank you a lot!
so its S5 G900F.
i understand the option was removed on Android 6.0.1.
I looked for Android 6.0.0 But could not Find it _ (My Country Code is PCL, if anyone care to help).
i also tried Root Essentials App but its not working as Internal Storage.
I Am Rooted.
Question:
Does anyone know a safe way To Extand the Internal Storage (so ill be abele to use it For DATA files, as weell as OBB files?)
thank you.
p.s.
im downloading lolipop 5 in HOPE that the option of "Format SD as Internal Storage" is there.
My s7 edge has been restarted and this message is came:
I dont spek Italien but I think this message about the system memory. If I restart my system comes always this. My phone is rooted and if I open Teamwin recovery and mount the system I can't see my files.
My some files are really important for me? What do you suggest me to access them?
