i know that all the files are double and odexed already....the question is how can i fix it since this is a scratch install...

just removed app that you don't want.
I always used TB to remove app that i don't need, here the result after removing some craps... ( ie LG default craps... and some live wallpapers )
here my df :

i want them all, i simply dont get it why its like this
before v20L it was about 120Mb,
could it be that the V20L just copied files over and made dups?

you used all app ? FSecure etc.... ?

i saw no reason to un-install when i can simply freeze them it was o.k beforehand
ahhh.... never mind.
thanks.

... or just leave it alone? Why do you need space on /system anyway?
BTW, wrong forum for general questions

Hi all.. today I'm with this issue.. low space on system.
No issue before some installs.. I explain.
I needed to reinitialize system partition because R/W issues.. so I executed a script that make backup of system content, format it and restore contents; I used it before and it work, but this time it locks due to some errors, I think.
Reinstalled rom, reinstalled kernel (that reinit ext-4 partition if needed), re-executed the script (good execution).
When rebooted.. low space notify on system!
I think there's something is wrong.. but I don know what I need to check.. can you help me??

Just backup the apps and uninstall them. you can't keep apps n increase free space at the same time. I can't see why you want bloatwares..

That sounds odd. I would suggest to use NVFlash to start with some fresh formatted partition layout.

yea, that's there, but i'd rather not waste my time to keep bloatwares, you agree?

Internal memory and partition...

Hi Guys,
Every time I tried to understand the android partitions I get more confuse. Let me clear my doubts. These are based on CyanoGenMod 9/10 and Galaxy S I9000 ....
This is how the partition exists in CyanoGenMod.....
We have a very fast NAND which is 512MB. This memory shared between /cache, /system, /datadata, /modem etc.
Then we have a flash memory which is either 8GB or 16 GB. This one partitioned into 2.
2GB for /data
6GB or 14GB for /sdcard
Question 1
So normally all your Apps are installed into the /data partition?
Question 2
In that case can I say MoveToSD means moving the Apps to the /sdcard partion?
Question 3
I noticed that for each application I move to SD I see a entry in "/mnt/asecure" . What's the use of it?
Last week I bought a Galaxy S3 because I thought I need a hardware beast. (I was really enjoying and still enjoying the Galaxy S with Cyanogen) And using "df" commands partitions are as follows....
/dev 896M 84K 896M 4096
/mnt/asec 896M 0K 896M 4096
/mnt/obb 896M 0K 896M 4096
/efs 19M 4M 15M 4096
/cache 1007M 17M 990M 4096
/system 1G 1G 463M 4096
/data 11G 4G 6G 4096
/firmware 199M 45M 154M 4096
/tombstones 251M 18M 233M 4096
/storage/sdcard0 10G 4G 6G 4096
/mnt/asec/ch.teamtasks.tasks.paid-1 4M 2M 1M 4096
/mnt/asec/com.disney.brave_google-1 26M 25M 1M 4096
/mnt/asec/com.touchtype.swiftkey-1 14M 10M 3M 4096
Question 4
Can someone explain this partition? why the /data shows as 11GB. And /sdcard0 is 10GB. I'm not quite sure my phone is 16GB model and it's not possible to have that much memory for /data.
Question 5
In this layout when I install Apps where it will get installed? I haven't root it yet so I cannot test.
Question 6
In this layout what is the meaning of MoveToSd could be? Samsung removed that option but I believe somehow it gets applied. Because I have plenty of Apps installed but some apps have a "mnt/asec" entry similar to Android secure. So is it similar are these apps get moved to /sdcard0 partition.
I'm developing some apps at the same time I'm trying to understand the core concepts with Android. Any guideline will be helpful and I really appreciate the replies. Thanks in advance....

[Q] HTC One Internal Storage Recovery Help

So I was cleaning my SD card and found a folder that I didn't think was of any consequence but it turns out it seemed it was symlinked to my whole SD Card. Needless to say it's now empty. I have an sd card backup of about 2 weeks ago so everything can be recovered. However, this got me to thinking. Has anyone else ran into this problem? What have you done as far as research or troubleshooting steps?
I have found this so far. Seems that since the type of storage that we're using is super popular and someone else has paved the way.
[GUIDE] Internal Memory Data Recovery - Yes We Can!
This thread has been super helpful. Seriously good information here. The problem that I am having is I can't figure out which block I need to set up. I've set up what I have thought would be correct but it's just not outputting the data properly (1.08KB, should be much bigger)
Here's that I get when I adb shell/su/df:
Code:

I also followed this tutorial here the attached is what I get. Based on the partitions.txt I would think that the partition tables that I need to be backing up are either mmcblk0p4 or mmcblk0p37 but that's just not working. The output is tiny compared to what it should be. What do you guys think?

Shameful but hopeful bump

[Q] Repartition System and Data partitions

Dear I searched this topic both on XDA and Google without any answers hence posting here
I have a galaxy Exhibit 4g and if I try to install SlimKat and full-modular-Gapps I have literally no memory left on the system partition. I was wondering if we can re-partition the space so we can reallocate the internal SD towards Data and system (the internals SD is a pain anyways). I have done similar stuff for my nook color which my son uses for playing kids learning games. Please let me know if this would be possible and how to go about it. Here are my df stats. Thanks in advance.

its a lot simpler to just move most of the gapps (hangouts, playstore, play games, etc) to sdcard. even better if you swap int2ext sd if you have a decent size sdcard and just use the real int for pics, music, etc. If the ext sd is a class10 or above you will notice a major difference in overall performance.

CM11 ROM resetting to defaults after a reboot on Nook HD+ (Ovation)

I'm currently running (and want to keep running) a CM nightly build (cm-11-20151122-NIGHTLY), though the issue isn't ROM specific to CM.
I've got a HD+ (Ovation) running TWRP recovery and CM11 nightly 20151122.
Again this isn't Cyanogenmod specific because the behavior occurred with two other non-CM ROMs.
After flashing and rebooting, the ROM boots fine as expected. It prompts you for WIFI info, Google account credentials, etc and gives you the two-step wizard about the launcher and widgets, all is fine.
Then you reboot the device for any reason (cold power off, software shutdown, software reboot, etc), the ROM is back to acting like you just flashed it again.
After the reboot, you're prompted to go through the whole setup wizard, no changes to icon positions, etc are saved in the OS.
I'm guessing it's something noob-ish like bad permissions somewhere that cause it to reset with each reboot. It was doing this before with a custom ROM that my friend (who I got the device from) was running. We assumed it was just that ROM being screwy.
I've spent quite a while this morning already Googling around, because it seems like it's probably something simple, but my results are heavily fuzzed by a million tutorials on how to boot into recovery mode or factory-reset the device.
Suggestions?

I'd suggest you try re-flashing CM11 and GApps using CWM v6.0.x.y (e.g., v6.0.4.6). Make sure that you use a GApps package that is compatible with CM11/Android v4.4 see http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps), and do "wipe /data & factory reset" before flashing the ROM and GApps zip files. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500 and/or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2679899 for more info/pointers.

The reflashing works, regardless of what ROM I use (CM or any random custom one from XDA), so I don't think the flashing process is at fault. Whichever ROM I use, it flashes correctly and boots, but after I go through the initial setup and reboot, the installed ROM reverts to its post-flash I-need-my-initial-setup state.
The problem occurs when I install no additional software from recovery mode (i.e. GApps) as well as when I do install GApps.
I have been doing the full wipe of all storage locations (dalvik cache, system, data, internal storage, and cache) before flashing, each time.
I'm beginning to suspect the onboard storage is screwed up somehow. Since I posted last, I've noticed Android and Windows both see the thing as having 128mb of storage total.

It looks like your partition 10 (/data) is hosed. Go to my HD/HD+ stock tips thread linked in my signature and look at item 16 to see the partition structure of the device. You might be able to fix the partition somehow.

If you can access the Android Terminal Emulator app (which comes with the CM ROM package), you can find out how much of your HD+ storage is currently allocated for the /system, /data, and /cache partitions. The default allocation on my HD+ is showed in the attached screenshot.

Yeah, your /data is way too small. Depending which model you have it should be at least 5G.

Yep that's my assessment too.
Great.
How the hell do I fix it without screwing things up worse? Looks like it's the 16gb model (BNTV600)
I've got it hooked up to my PC via ADB currently, but I'm not about to fdisk anything without having a plan.

Nevermind I figured it out. The partition was formated F2FS. I reformatted it EXT4 and it formatted at the true capacity (shows about 12.5 gb free).
Changes now persist across reboots.
Thanks for the pointers in the right direction, everyone
