Internal Memory eaten up? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
Flashed to cm9 last night but before that i was running cm7.2. Everything's doing fine but this happened when i flashed to cm7.2:
My unit is the i9000 with 8GB on internal storage. So this is where apps are usually installed unless i move them to the sd card right? The problem was when i flashed to cm7.2 it shows that out of the avaialble 6GB of internal storage, only around 1.8GB was available..
what could've eaten so much space? is there something wrong with the partitioning?
appreciate the help everyone. cheers!

[Q] Low memory, can only install a few apps

Hi,
Ive searched all over the Xperia X1 forum without any answer.
Ive recently installed Android on my phone and i love it, especially android market.
My problem:
After installing like 5-6 apps from the market I get low on internal memory. How do I solve this? I know about Apps2Sd, but not all apps can be placed to sd card.
Is this my because of my internal phone memory or is it because my ext2 cache, data, system partitions are set to low storage?
How do you guys get through this problem?
Answers would be much appreciated, sorry if this already has been brought up.
as long as there's no nand-flash for x1, internal memory is not used nor recognized by android.
those 3 partitions on sd-card are seen as internal memory by android.
so, your second guess is the right one - increase the size of your ext2-partition. ("data", to be precise)
Thanks it worked!

[Q] export data to sd card & internal storage

alright guys, I have miui on my Nexus one and was having no problems up until tonight. I started with 21 mb of internal storage, and suddenly my phone had a pop up asking if I wanted to "export my data to my SD card" it then went on to explain it would move pictures, screenshots, data, etc from my internal storage, to my SD card. And I thought, awesome, now I'll have more space. But now I'm down to 11 mb of internal storage, and keep getting an low memory error. My SD card has plenty of space, 3.6 gb left. This low memory issue is driving me insane, and I don't understand how I ended up LOSING internal storage when I thought I would gain it. Can someone please help me out?
You're running MIUI, I guess - I don't remember this message on any other ROM.
And you probably don't have A2SD running - because otherwise you wouldn't be left without memory.
Reboot the phone, it'll probably restore you back to 21MB of free space. Then read up on A2SD, partition your SD card and enable A2SD.

Internal Storage shows 4GB instead of 8GB

Hello,
I hope, that someone is reading this.
First I had rooted my device flashed (restored) the custom ROM of denny.hell. It worked. A long time I didn't use the phone.
But today I wanted to use it and then I see the internal storage shows 4GB instead of 8GB when I'm going to TWRP.
But when I restart and go to settings, then storage, it shows 8 GB, but the storage is occupied with around 4GB with "others".
Can someone help me?
4GB is for internal space and 2,4GB for the system partition. The other 1,6GB i don't know for what is that used.

Tab S8.4 Lineage 14.1 use MicroSd as internal memory

Hi,
I recently installed Lineage 14.1 on my Tab S 8.4. Everything worked great and there is great improvement in performance.
I have one question, I have installed a 32Gb Micro Sd card and the device asked me if I wanted to format it as internal memory, which I did. So according to the OS I now have 40Gb, 8Gb onboard + 32Gb Micro Sd.
However when I try to install apps or connect the tablet to my computer it says that I only have 8Gb on board memory. So now even though I have a lot of space, the tablet keeps on telling me that I am running out of space.
So on one hand it sees that I have the 32Gb card installed, but on the other hand it ignores it.
I can try with another SD card, but it is quite a long process, since I will need to reset the tablet again, so before I do that I wanted to ask if someone had a similar problem, or maybe there is some hardware limitation on the tablet that will not allow me to use the sd card as internal memory.
Anyone come across issues like this before?

Your device should have 16gb not 8gb internal storage.
The data on the sdcard also gets encrypted once adoptable storage is enabled.
Data also needs to be migrated using the migrate option after setting up adoptable storage.
If your internal storage was already full before enabling adoptable storage then that's part of the issue.
Internal storage will still get used even with adoptable storage enabled, just most of the data will go to the sdcard.
I suggest you fix your size issue first.
You are right, the device does have 16gb and not 8gb.
Right now the usage is as follows, 14.5gb on the internal and 1.4gb on the sd card, although when I click on the sd card I am told that I am using 8.9gb.
When I first installed Lineage, the first thing I did (before even installing GApps) was to put the sd card in and when asked chose to format it as internal storage, so there was nothing to migrate, because none of the apps were installed.
The problem that I am having is that although the tablet days its using the sd card, it uses internal memory.

After more experiments I think I understand what the problem is.
Even though the OS says that it's using the sd card as internal storage, it doesn't.
I tested it by putting the sd card into a computer and seeing how much space was being used, the partition was encrypted, but based on the fact that it was less than 1gig, it is pretty clear that it did not store the 8gb of data as Android OS might have suggested.
So the question is, is Lineage OS unable to use SD Card as internal memory on Tab S8.4 because of hardware limitations.
Or is my tablet FUBR and it's time to let it rest and get a new one.
