I recently bought an HD2 T8585 and Installed the MIUI android 2.12.28 ROM on it..and it worked flawlessly but it requires 230M system so it gives me very less internal memory and I want something which could help me remove useless stuff or get extra internal memory....I dont want to repartition my sd-card because it has too much data and its just 4GB ........
Radio- 2.15.50.14
Bootloader- cLK 1.5
Internal Memory available - 0.00mb
Hello,
Okay, let's consider your options:
1- Repartition your SD card and use an a2sd or similar scripts. You said you don't want to repartition.
2- Delete some useless stuff. (Use Titanium Backup to unsinstall apps you don't use)
3- Use a smaller ROM, or a bare ROM.
4- Reconsider option 1. (It doesn't really take much, about 500 mb from your 4GB is enough I suppose)
Thanks
Thanks for your help.. I neede to know any Light ROM's ICS or JB.....I would prefer MIUI...:silly:
Feel free to have a look at the NAND development, and look for roms of your choice, and then rule out large ROMs. And then pick from what remained.
Hi guys! Non developer here!
I have J500H, 6.0.1 and I'm following this forum for a couple of weeks. The "not enough internal storage" bring me here to xda forum. After buying SD card and realizing that will not solve the internal memory problem, I googled everything. So the only solution was rooting the phone. I followed some YouTube video, used Odin, flashed Super SU, some recovery (TWRP_J500H_MM.tar) and now my phone is rooted. But since then it is slow as a turtle, major lagging and using the SD card as internal storage problem was not solved, so I was left with the same problem as not rooted phone. Because I'm a total n00b, I was reading and learning about flashing ROMs, kernels, and stuff like that, but since I'm not a developer it is very difficult for me. Sooo....
My question is:
Can someone please suggest some stable ROM, which will primarily solve using the SD card as internal memory, and be stable and not draining the battery. And because as I said I'm a noob, please link some step by step guide so I don't mess something up. I currently have TWRP 3.0.2-1 Recovery, so let's start from there!
Thank you in advance for your help!
The reason your phone is slow as a "turtle" is because you used your SD Card as internal memory. Remember, SD card memory will never be as fast as system memory, that is why your phone is running slow, and it is the reason samsung did not include this option. If you want, you can do like i did, move all the apps like instagram, whatsapp to SD Card, there might be few crashes (as those apps are not intented to be moved to SD card) and uninstall all the bloat ( trust me there is a lot of it )
This way, i managed to have a ton of apps on my phone, and still have 2 gb free internal memory. The phone is blazing fast.
Or you can downgrade to Lollipop and use Nick Verses cm 13, gl

Actually I didn't use the SD card as internal... But I want to. When I rooted the device I thought that I'll be able to to that by default, but I never did. I never got the "mount as internal" option on the SD card. I downloaded some app I think it was app2SD or something like that and I placed instagram and some other apps on SD, but it never solved the insufficient storage icon appearing. But since you are telling me it will slow down the device even more I will not use the SD as internal.
As for the bloat. I have no idea how to remove that. Is that a simple way to remove all the bloat apps? I only have 8GB internal on which System memory is taking 3.24 GB, and the apps taking 3,41 GB with only few apps installed by me... all the other as bloatware. I would taken a Screenshots, but as a new member I'm not allowed to post links on my replies.
So that's why I needed to use the SD as internal, or flash some custom ROM which is more optimized.
Thank you for reply and please suggest some solution for getting rid of the bloat.
With the J500H, most users are stuck on 6.0.1 bootloaders.
If im not mistaken there are 2 stable roms for 6.0.1 bootloaders.
1. Skiesrom
2. Cm 13 port by Zonik
With Skiesrom it is still in beta with many minor bugs but most are fixed by using different apps/settings.
Version 2 of Skiesrom will fix most of these bugs.
With the Cm 13 port from Zonik. The only bug ive really heard of was the mtp connection.
Check the thread to see if theres any more bugs

I've done it! And I did uninstall all the bloat, and it freed some space but not too much... I still have 6,88 GB used out of 8. Even though I only have FB, Instagram, Messenger, Chrome and two other small apps. And FB started to crush every 4-5 minutes or so. That's why I wanted to try some stable custom ROM and use the SD as internal.

You use chrome right, than why not uninstall Samsungs stock Internet, that is another 200 mb and you say u have facebook and messanger, but you don't understand that every mid range phone will lag woth those two, combined those two apps take almost 1 GB of memory..

Use alternative apps for Facebook try Metal for Facebook, it's tiny and very light with no need of messenger to chat with your friends.
There're some stuff in root folder, for example in my j5 2015m there's a preload dir with games and more crap installed by local operator that can be "erased" too without really messing your phone functions.
Personally I don't use Facebook nor Messenger...these are "greeeaatt internal space eaters". Use Zonik CM13

Hey, I am in EXACTLY the same position as the original poster, literally every detail is the same; I want to use sd as internal, I have a rooted samsung J5 (okay, J500M in my case), and want to know which custom rom is best for this. The replies above were helpful but no one directly answered the question: which custom rom allows you to put any/all apps on the sd card of a samsung j5?
Does Cwm 13 allow this?
Seriously, this phone is pretty much unusable with stock. The original poster is not exaggerating, about 4 apps that cant be moved to sd (most apps) and the phone is full. If I had known I wouldve gotten a different model... anyway, thanks for any/all help!
ok first of all, do not use your internal storage as main storage and buy an sdcard with 16gb or above (i use 16gb and im ok with it) and put all the files to the sdcard and set the download locations to sdcard (some apps would work and others wouldnt). second, limit your downloaded apps or put it all in sdcard(only move the movable apps, i recommend using link2sd on it). third, use obb on sd(requires xposed) if you want heavy games with obb files work even if its additional files are on sdcard. fourth, do a weekly cleaning of your phone. smart manager will do the trick but its recommended to use sd maid for more features. fifth, do not use any adaptable storage(sd card as internal) since it will give you very slow performance and it will be a pain in the butt if you flash another rom since you'll reformat the sdcard again. and sixth, flash a very light but very stable rom(flash zips that wont go above 900mb or more) and i suggest cm12.1 rom by zonik and J2UX rom by mitko7411. i'm currently using J2UX rom and i still got 1.4gb free on my internal storage and ive been using it for a month now and no slowdowns whatsoever in this rom

Yup, and you can't have stock camera on any custom rom
