I installed a new rom recently, did a full flash as recommended and went from revolution os (which i think was android 8.1) and went to Revolution os with android 9
I have a 128 gb which i had set to be made as part of the internal storage when on the previous rom, does this encrypt it? because now on the new rom i seem to only have ~50GB storage,
Internal storage in settings shows 122.76gb available of 128gb total
But in the storage section itself it shows 32gb free of 128 and is showing system storage is using 74gb.
The phone should have 64gb internal storage and 128gb sd card combined...
why have i lost so much space, and why is the systme storage taking so much room?
Did you figure out what was going on?

So if I'm not mistaken, this phone is suppose to come with a 4GB internal storage n a 16GB (or 14.something something GB in reality)MicroSD card. Ok, I get that much, but, where is that 4GB internal storage? I checked in the Storage section and all I see is the 16GB SD card and 1.89GB free space under Internal Storage. If that 1.89GB is the only space left from the 4GB, what the hell is occupying the other 2GB of space? It can't be the OS (I'm very sure that's on a different chip/ram/etc) and whatever it is, I'm not seeing them on the phone (since the HD videos were even deleted when I format the SD card). So what is in here?
Also, Unlike on the Atrix, it seems you can't unmount the internal storage and view them on the computer under mass storage. In the atrix, when I connect the phone to the PC, I get 2 removable drives pop up, one the microSD and the other is called MB860, which is the internal storage of the phone.....So why can't we do the same thing on this phone? Is there something hidden in there? And if it's locked, that means LG lied about having 20GB of storage available on the phone, while it's only 16GB.
According to the official datasheet for the phone (click here) on page 2 under specifications it states that the phone has 4gb internal storage but only 1.91 gb is usable for apps (which is why on your phone it only shows ~1.9 gb available in info).

Awww!! That is BS!! So now I actually need to get a 32GB even if that 20GB would have sufficed -__-

That leftover space on the internal storage is for apps, specifically for apps that only works or works better in the internal storage over ext. sd card. I just restored all my apps for TiBu, and the apps that go into the internal storage end up in there , and those that go into the sd card end up in my sd card.
Now I only have 845MB of space left on the internal storage, which is not much at all, albeit it is sufficient for several hundred for apps, but still it's very little.
i say once we find a way to get CFW on the phone then we might be able to access it
Let's also remember that the Nitro HD has the 2GB of storage available, while the Optimus LTE only has 1GB.

are you talking about it's ROM storage capacity? (I don't what exactly it is called lol)
Application storage.
I had an LG G Pad (got stolen this weekend, GRRR) so I am shopping for my next tablet. my one issue is the 16GB of memory, is it enough, or is apps to SD available on this now? I was running out of space on the g pad even putting what (little) I could on my sd card. Thanks

I have the SM-T325 16gb internal with 64gb microsd card. No issue with sufficiency of internal storage. The OS needed only 3.98gb, my apps totaling 90 used only 2.32 gb and I still have available space of 10.26gb, plus of course the external storage. To top it all, you can move the apps to the external microsd card; it is a built-in capability without requiring the app2sd app.

Thank you very much, great information.
Its a very subjective question. It depends on what you need to put on the tablet storage, and if you can put media, etc. on the removable SD card. If you can put stuff on an SD, just buy a 32 or 64 GB one, and you're good to go.
I personally agree that 16 GB is bit low for devices nowadays. 32 GB would have been great. But the Tab Pro 8.4 (WiFi) was what I wanted, and is only available with 16 GB, far as I can tell. I use it with a 32 GB SD, and its workable.
It has the inherent issue of having 2 external storage. The primary being a partitioned storage in the internal memory which is part of the 16GB of the device. Any app you move to SD would move it to that storage thereby using up the internal 16GB storage of the device. So far I have not found a way to move the app to the real external storage, the removable SD card.
With that being said, installing games that are huge would eat up your 16GB device storage.
Rooted?
If you're rooted, there are many ways to move "apps" (or rather, apps data) to the SD card.
The one I use is FolderMount, available in the play store. It allows to mount a folder from your internal storage to the SD card, so everything happens for the system as if it was internal storage, but the files are saved to the SD card. I do that for my OBB folder (Android / obb) which contains around 20GB of games data currently... And still have 10GB left on my internal storage because of that.

I was trying to avoid root but it seems there's no choice in this case.
One question though before I take the plunge and root, there's another folder under the Android folder called data, should I mount that as well?
"Insufficient storage" error, while moving apps in Android Marshmallow 6.0 Version.
Hi,
I have a Micromax Canvas Android ONE mobile phone with a 4 GB internal storage memory and 16 GB SD card external memory.
Out of 4 GB internal memory, 1.77 GB is occupied with system files, 1.86 GB is occupied with non system apps, 0.35 GB is occupied with apps related data and only 0.02 GB is free.
I have latest Android Marshmallow operating system updated on my phone, as I am typing this text.
There are following applications installed in my handset (from Google play store), which have an option to move them from internal storage memory to external SD card memory and vice versa.
1) Amazon Kindle (166 MB)
2) LinkedIn (78.22 MB)
3) Facebook (16.96 MB) moved
4) OlaCabs (3.40 MB) moved
5) I can't wake up (0.98 MB)
Out of above 5 apps, when I tried to move all of 5 apps, only app number 3 & 4 got transferred (or moved) to the external SD card memory space. i.e. for Facebook and OlaCabs, moving from internal to external memory card was successful.
However for rest of apps (Amazon Kindle, LinkedIn and I can't wake up), I get an error stating that there is not enough of memory space in external memory card.
However, as I can see out of total memory of 16 GB in external SD memory card, 1.17 GB is consumed by system files, 5.51 GB is consumed by existing data and apps and 9.32 GB is free space available to consume.
May I know what exactly must have been happening over here and why?
What is the possible solution to resolve this issue?
Hi everyone,
First time posting here as I have just rooted my HTC. Generally able to find everything i need with a search of the forum except one thing.....
I had 16gb of internal storage when the phone was stock. I installed CM12.1 and now the storage shows as about 10gb in total!! Has the last 6 been used by the system and isn't shown or has something went wrong?
Thanks
Jonny

Are you saying you have the 16 GB version of the M8, or the 32GB version?
If you have the 16 GB version, there is no way you had all 16 GB as internal storage. Some storage of the 16GB is always taken by OS and other partitions (which take up a few GB), and 10 GB of user-accessible internal storage is about right.
I want to ask about the amount of free internal storage left for use after clean flashing custom ROMs by Wiping all except MicroSD card with Full GAPPs with their respective versions but they were almost the same size.
With LOS 14.1, i got 21.70 GB internal storage left to use
With AOSIP 8.1, the free amount of Internal Storage was 24.20 GB
I wonder why there is so much difference with available internal space when I clean flashed by wiping everything including internal storage?
