[Q] Partition Size

Hi,
i just installed Titanum Backup on my Captivate and it says:
System Rom: 289 MB (40 MB free)
i don't know why is showing this i thought that our captivate has 2 GB ROM !
Now i just have 40 mb left and i dont know where are my 2 GB...
Thx

Look one more line down. See where it says the Internal is 2.01GB (or something close to that number). That's the 2GB you're referencing.

thx, i know that, so what System Rom means?
why if the System Rom gets full i can not install more apps? its just for the OS?

It is just for the OS and anything you install as a system app. When you download a program from the market it goes to the Internal.

ROM = READ ONLY MEMORY
Yes, OS and some system apps. Not ones you download from market or other sources.
It's actually Electronically Erasable Programable Read Only Memory in old tech speak, EEPROM, which doesn't need a battery to keep info. It's what you 'flash' when you run minikies, odin, etc.
All the applications and data you add are stored in another type of static memory (internal or on an sdcard) that also doesn't need a battery to keep info.
To actually run programs, they get loaded from the previous types of memory into faster random access memory (RAM or ' system memory')
that only works when battery power is available. When you reboot your phone, typically by turning its offer and on, the RAM is cleared of any memory. You can't also check ram usage and free up parts of ram with task manager. Press and hold the home key and you wlll get a button for task manager. Click it, then select the RAM tab and you will see.
You've got all of those types of memory in the captivate.

The /system (ROM) partition is on the same nand as /data (internal storage, where user apps are installed) and /sdcard, they're not separate types. Just mounted differently, you need superuser permission to remount the "ROM" partition read/write

Duh! Of course, it's all on the one 16 GB ROM. And then there is the 1/2 GB of RAM.

It didn't help, some other ideas?

For me there was only one Solution that really worked. Unfortunatelly i cant remember its exact name. So i ll try to describe it.
There are two almost the same tools. First one is testdisk and the another ones name i am not sure. So try google testdisk for (recover,undelete) sd card or so, then google how to use it. It is a commandprompt-like tool, but quite simple to use.
Hope i helped sorry for my english.

I highly recommend testdisk.

Use easy recovery professional

Sgn : Is it important how did i send this?

huhhh
maybe you can try this

So

and try it!

If ur using Windows, u can use Recuva.
Mount SDcard when connecting ur X8...select the Music option in recuva..select your sdcard as location to search and u'll have ur music back.

Try Recuva

[Q] Problem with updating apps in Market (insufficient space)

Hello,
Some of the apps in Play Market are saying that I have insufficient space when I try to update them.
At the same time, some apps update successfully, while others report about insufficient space.
For example:
Samsung Print Service Plugin - 10,42 MB - insufficient
Asphalt 8 - some small update slightly bigger than 10 MB - successfully update.
Revolt Classic - 114 MB app, update for 30 MB. Downloaded and updated without any problems
Facebook - 10+ MB. - insufficient
At the same time - update which is 100% of an app's size report about insufficient space, even when it's only 10 MB, while updates which are a smaller than the whole app, but are twice or more times bigger then those small updates - are installing just fine
Device memory - free 493 MB.
SD card - free 4.98 GB

I read somewhere that Samsung devices (or was it Android devices overall) have some limits for particular memory partitions so to say (cache, data, etc). And even when overall device's memory will have enough free space to install apps, it may report insufficient space due to overlimit of some memory partitions. Not sure how accurate I am saying this.
I tried looking at ADB to figure that out, but without much luck:
I tried clearing Cache partition from stock 3e recovery, but it behaves strangely - at first I see Android robot lying with red triangle or exclamation mark, and then the phone restarts itself. Dunno if it was successful.
I have an all stock firmware with root and reflashed stock recovery.
Do you have any ideas why does it behave this way?

Im having those problems when my free phone memory drops below 500 MB. Have you tried to delete unused apps and having over 500 MB free trying to update them again?
Maybe some stuff from those updates are automatically installing on sd card? Idk
from S4 Active Blue Ocean

I was just able to install a new game, which is 150+ MB, but am still unsable to update an app which is less than 2 MBs... Very strange.
I don't think it's really an actual free memory size's problem, and rather some part of it...

Try clearing data from Google Play Services.

[Q] Strange storage ?

Dear XDA,
I've freshly installed Maximus HD 45. And it's working, no problems there.
But when I look at my storage I see something strange. I have 12.10gb used by 'Other'.

}
I've found some strange paths on my phone (taken from WiFi File Transfer Pro):
../storage/emulated/0/
../storage/emulated/legacy/
../storage/sdcard0/
They all seem to redirect to my internal storage.
Probally some leftover bugs from previous custom roms?
Is it possible to completely clean my storage without removing TWRP and Maximus HD? Or in worst case scenario I don't mind reinstalling a clean Maximus HD. But I prefer not to do to much modding on the phone, like installing a different RUU. Currently I live in Zanzibar and I have limited options (and internet!) when something goes awohl.
If it's a whole lot of effort I keep it like this. It's annoying but I can live with it. But if it's an easy fix then I would gladly do that!
Thanks in advanced!
Lennard

that's normal. to see what's using up your space I recommend you use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobile_infographics_tools.mydrive
I'm not a huge expert on the technical side of Android devices but in my experience, those are the three common file paths to access internal storage. I do not know the exact reason as to why there must be three file paths. But it is normal. Nothing to worry about.

[question] After installing framework my phone gives " insufficient store place" erro

[question] After installing framework my phone gives " insufficient store place" erro
Dear Xposed framework users;
I have turkcell T60 a modified phone of ZTE BLADE S6 that runs android 5.0.2.
I root my device with kingroot than I install xposed framework. But immediatly after I restart my telephone it says "insufficient store place" . I have 10 gb internal and 3 gb external storage place.
I can download apps from internet but while I am installing it it makes an error. If I use google store to download them, immediately after downloading is makes error 504.
As far as I have learned it. After installing framework on my phone it blocks my phone's storage excess so there is some explanations for samsungs such as deleting some documents from data but not for my phone.
Does any one can help me to fix my problem?
Thanks for helping

Have you tried it with a different SuperUser/root app ?

Root doesnt make a problem. Problem occours after xposed framework.

True but your running out of space, supersu frees up some memory during installation.

You just need to uninstall/move to user a few system apps (suggestions include keyboard languages and google apps like youtube or hangouts which can be gotten from playstore

but guys I dont have storage problem. I have 10gb free storage place. eventhough I have place my phone says not enough place it is lover than 250 mb. Deleting apps isnt change the situtation

System drive is not user drive you have 10GB in user. System is where your ROM lives.

Top listing is where space is needed that the error is talking about; bottom is what you mean when you have 10GB
