It seems that there's 1gb for apps.
A question for someone smarter than me: Can/will this ever be able to be increased?? There's all this space available on the internal storage and it seems stupid not to be able to use it....

Here's the scoop, I have a rooted N1 and flashed, Froyo Vanilla AOSP 2.2 for N1, which I picked up from ChrisSoyars Twitter feed. It works wonderful, but my available storage is 152MB....is this correct?? When I bought the phone I had 181MB of available storage or something close to that. I don't have any apps installed and that is why I find this kinda odd>>>>>>I just saw that FB, Google Voice, Twitter and Google Goggles are installed, but this still doesn't look right.
So, though the N1 claims it has 512MB storage we can only use 200MB of it???
And why do I have less now than before??
Can anyone help clear this up for me....
Thank you.
You seem to be getting your jargon confused.

Are you talking about memory or storage? The N1 shipped with 512MB of memory, of which only about 256MB was accessible. With the Froyo update you will have access to all of your 512MB of memory finally.
The 200MB you're talking about seems to be the internal storage. That will be different after updating because different OS images are different sizes. Also your internal space will vary with the size of various application caches. Nothing to worry about.

You actually have your jargon confused
N1 shipped with 512mb RAM and 512mb ROM
The 512mb RAM is not what hes talking about. There is 512mb of storage but only some of that is available to install apps with
storage requires a type of memory. flash memory. -_-
RAM = memory
Flash = memory
As for the question, the 512mb storage is split for system files and applications. you only have that much space for applications
Yeah, flash is technically a type of memory but it's not a good idea to call it just memory without elaboration because by default "memory" refers to volatile memory.
Okay, so now that I am on Froyo I should have 512MB of memory aKa RAM available as opposed to the 256MB of RAM that Eclair was allowed to use?? And the reason I have 152MB of internal storage is because of the OS and the applications are eating into the 512MB of internal storage the phone shipped with??

it does not default to volatile memory. its all a matter of context. his context clearly indicated that he was referring to his onboard storage lol
its just that the general population doesnt care to make a distinction haha

yes your exactly right. the storage is split up into chunks. only one piece is dedicated to apps
Thank you for clearing this up.
OK I love to install games, lot, lot of games. One day, whilst I was installing, I had the message from the system to say that my phone had insufficient Database Memory and required me to delete some games to have the warning disappeared. When I checked with Titanium, I had only 12.5 MB left over 124 MB. I moved all the application if possible to SD Card but it does not free up much memory. So I would like to ask, is there any other way to get the job done effectively? or is there any apk to improve the Database Memory?
Sorry for noob question since I am new with Android and thank you very much
I would like an answer to this question as well, if there is any.
I deleted apps, text messages, emails, and contacts with limited success. As of now, I have a total of 35.8mb of free DB memory, but everything that's still present, I would like to keep. I'm guessing I'm going to run into this problem more and more in the future.
I would like a more convenient way of clearing this unusually small amount of memory that's available, or at least a way to check what data is present at the moment so I can clean it up more effectively.
So, to all you non-noobs: HELP?! Please?
I wonder how much space is actually available on a 32gb version after 5.0 is factored in? Anyone with one in hand able to answer?
If I remember correctly Total Usable Storage on the device is 25/26GB (Total Storage available to user and not used up by OS/ART). Not all that bad honestly.
Firsty, I apologize for my poor forum skills.
I am wondering if any gems in the community know of an existing module that is capable of sort of, Removing, Fixing, or Disabling the service or data which notify's google play services that there is not enough storage on a device to install or update an app?
I am not sure if this is a protocol that is implemented in the Android OS or not because when I try to manually install an APK with low storage it is not possible and I get the "insufficient storage" notification.
I am not necessarily counting on a solution per say;
However seeing as how my device is rooted, I would very much like to experience the liberty and satisfaction of truly 'Taking Control' of my device.
To conclude my filibuster,
Is there a module or mod to trick or fool my device into thinking that I have enough storage to install or update an app? I am currently sitting at 420MB of storage and I am a music addict so my options are currently minimal... atleast until I eventually shoot up my photos to DropBox inevitably.
Thanks World!
& Happy Holidays!

Impossible, if you use all the memory reserve you will get in bootloop. or dont recieve sms and email messages
The critical storage is for SYSTEM things, not for install apps
Impossible remove Insufficient storage
My good old S2's default /data partition is 2 GB. On Gingerbread, the "insufficient storage" popped up at about 20 MB left. On Jellybean and KitKat as early as about 200 MB. Recently I repartitioned /data to 4 GB, thought that I will never see "insufficient storage" again. But meeeeep, now it pops up when there are 400 MB left. So Androids app installer wants to have about 10% of /data in reserve. The bigger the partition, the bigger the unusable space gets. Kinda gaga.
So what about an XPosed module that sets this free space limit to some lower limit? Enough for critical things, but small enough to not waste this much space.
I have the Project Fi version of the X4 and I have not found any way to move apps from internal memory to the memory card that I put in the phone. Am I missing something? I even enabled the Developer options and switched on the "Force allow apps on external", but it didn't make any difference...
Force encrypt makes all apps stay on internal memory. Once we can remove encryption, it should be possible.
You need more than 32GB for apps? I know the system takes up almost half of it, but you still need 16GB of apps? What are you running?

I wondered the same thing. Unless the apps load faster from a high speed sdcard. That many apps is going to have so much stuff running in background it would be crazy.

I have the same question. I want to put some of my 600+ audible audio books and I also want to put movies on sd card via the playon cloud app. Seems crazy to me to clutter up internal memory with stuff like that.
