Hi,
I just looked how much free space my internal storage has and notice, that instead of 16GB total it shows 11,07GB. Where is 5GB? Does notes system eat that much space or what?
This is maybe noob question, but i've read that ppl have lost some of their notes memory when wiped/restored in XXLPY. I did wipe cache and dalvik when i was in that Rom, but nothing bad happened then. I flashed to abyssnote 4.2 kernel and reverted back to GB after we heard, that XXLPY was dangerous. Now i've been in Asylum ICS about two weeks and no problems so far.

Noone lost memory when flashing, you need to read up on that.
However what you describe is normal because the system uses the "lost" memory so there's nothing to worry about.

Yeah, the system installation has to use some of the 16gb, and also the 2gb you have for application storage also has to use some of your internal storage.
No phone actually gets its full internal storage capacity, they all lose 4-5gb for these same reasons
Ftb

i think its something like:
2gb for system + 2gb for user data/apps + loss of GB/bytes conversion + whatever is left for mass storage

Thanks!
To be specific, someone lost a part of storage (7GB) when his note bricked and he got it recovered back. I read it here in xda, but don't remember what topic it was. This pop up first in my mind when i looket my storage and notice, that it wasn't 16GB. I haven't looked before my memory info. Good to know, everything is the way it should.
Thank you everybody for your help!

I bricked my device and managed to get it back with 1.8 Giga internal storage now. Its a 16 Giga N7000. Im trying to find a solution, if anyone could help i really appreciate. Thank you

First check the allow install from external sources in the security settings... Then go to tibu settings and search for the backup folder.. There's an option for it..

do note restore is not recommended in first post of cm9, where paranoid android is based on.
Apps only shouldnt be to much of an issue, but apps with data might cause some issues.

hey
i found i found the backup folder but why is their not a simple way to just restore the apps, i still dont know how iam meant to back them all up, this really is confusing. backing them up is so easy.
also iam dead confused now, i thought TB was safe to restore with data as long as you dont restore system data?
how on earth would i get all these apps back with my bookmarks etc?? lol
cheers.

you can restore, but when issues arise, its most likely because of that, so you know

Will it be issues with the app etc? Theirs only some apps that have data in them which would be good to keep. I still cannot find how to install my apps' I see nothing in restore in TB? Any help would be great. I thought my backup would just show up. I am running the free version btw
Thanks

I guess its batch restore, in app list pres menu button, should be there somewhere.
Or select app, then select restore in popup.
Issues could be:
lag
no deepsleep
force closures of apps
random reboots.
You probably wont get them but if you do, its likely because of restore

I used my backup pro as TB is just so confusing to me. I have apps back with data and all seems fine but I've noticed I cannot see a thing on my external SD card? The folder is empty for some odd reason. Now it manages to locate the folder in TB although I didn't use it to restore ' my sd card seems blank but it cant be as I never formatted a thing. Any idea??
All I did was flash rooted gb rom from stock ics and then installed cm9 rom and external SD is not
Shown in es file exploror
Cheers

yep, check folder mnt, check folders in there, one of them is your external sd
its mnt\emmc and not sdcard\externalsd anymore
They do it differently in cm9

[Q] Some Apps install, some others doesn't ?!

Hello!
I have a big problem..
When I want to install Dropbox it sais, theres no empty space left. So he's basically saying that my SDCard is full, which is not true. I have like 17GB left..!
When I want to Install Dropbox, or Skype, I get that error message.
But when I install some other apps, I dont get that message.
For example I can't install Dropbox or Skype. But I can install "Epic Citadel", which some of you may know, is a pretty big Application (about 130mb)
I can install it without a problem , and use it perfectly.
But DropBox isn't working. Neither does Skype..
Im on the newest ViperOne. (Team Venom)
17GB free Space
Stock Kernel (even though I think that has got nothing to do with my error..)
Think that's all you need to know about my Phone atm. If not, ask.
Anyone experienced the same ?
Need help :/

the problem is that you don't have 17 gb of space for apps, only for music/pics etc..
the memory for apps is only 2 gb big... :/ that's normal.. so maybe these apps are just too big and you really don't have enough free space (i don't use them).

But I was able to install epic citadel, which is 130mb, meanwhile skype and dropbox aren't working for me.
If the Space was really full, I guess I couldn't download an even bigger application ?

It's my dad's phone, and he's not at home now.. I will take a look tomorrow and post here again.
But I remember it showed 17GB under settings --> storage.
Honestly I don't really think that my space is full yet, I haven't got that many apps installed, and I was able to install an ever bigger application without problems.. Dropbox and Skype aren't working. The rest is working so far.
I wiped cache partition and Dalvik Cache.. Still having the same problem :/
Any other ideas ?

System partition full?

Hey guys! So I downloaded an app off the play store called Free Space. It shows all your partitions on the device and shows how much free space you have on each! Well, the system partition is only about 2GB? And it's 99% full? Is this normal? I'm running Marshmallow MRA58R Rooted. If this is normal, how can you flash extra files without running out of space? And for that matter, how will the phone get the next Android version if Marshmallow fills the partition completely? There's 16mb free right now!

Yes by marshmallow default system partition is fixed at 2 gb and full already, so you can either delete system apps or using recovery try to increase size of system. Of course by formatting and putting back your back up and stuff

I don't know that I would be comfortable altering the device that much haha I just wonder how they are gonna update to Android N when that's a thing! Also, with this little space, it would probably not allow you to flash too many zips to it right?

Is it possible that it is full from fastboot flashing many times and there are left over files? Or is it 100% normal that my system partition is this full right now? Kind of weird! They are going to have to make the next few Android versions fit in that partition! I almost wanna format my system partition and reflash a stock system.img and check it again.

Based on what I've read it's normal to have a full system partition on Marshmallow. I have a feeling it's a feature to piss us off so we can't flash Xposed or have AdAway store its hosts files in /system.
To gain space just delete some of the preinstalled apps. Most of them can be downloaded from the Play Store if it's something you use.

Google did the same thing with the Nexus 10 when Android 5.0 (Lollipop) came out. I had to get rid of some of the pre-installed Google apps that were installed in /system and reinstall them from the Play Store and then I had plenty of free space in /system for rooting, installing busybox, installing adaway, etc.

Awesome! I will probably just delete a lot of the stock Google apps, I don't even use them honestly! However, will a full nandroid backup done with TWRP also backup my secondary ROMs? I have multirom installed on my Nexus. The ROMs are installed to the data partition of course, does anyone here know if they're saved in TWRP backups? Because what I'll probably do is take a full backup, and then start deleting Google apps, restore if it breaks Android.
Sent from my Nexus 6

No. You must back up multirom (ROMs) separately but you can wipe out primary and it won't effect secondary. As long as you don't format data your good.

[PATCH]**Adoptable storage enabler** MARSHMALLOW

As you may all know Samsung disabled the Adoptable storage function in the Tab S. Even the well known S7 hack doesn't work. Well now it's back...
Thanks to some legwork (no pun intended) by @longshanks197 we now have a workable solution.
As previously thought, Samsung disabled adoptable storage in the framework.
I have created this patch to fix the issue by patching the boot image and replacing sm.jar in system.
This will enable the adoptable storage feature in Settings>Storage
NOTE: I advise making a backup with TWRP before proceeding.
INSTALL:
Copy the zip below to your device then install with TWRP.
adoptable_storage_enabler_ashyx
For information how to enable adoptable storage see the guide below:
how-to-use-adoptable-storage-on-android-6-0-marshmallow

I mean, does the zip directly set the sd as adoptable, or does it just enable the option leaving to the user the possibility to choose?

i think this statement from the 1st post should answer your question.

I'm not interested into apply the feature from settings because I prefer to have half of sd as portable using adb command (mixed 50 variable), that's why I'm asking.

Thanks ashyx
Has anybody had an low speed warning for their micro sd card, I have an Samsung 128GB Evo+ that has an 20Write 80Read speed.

You can still do that but you'll have to use adb or android terminal.

Since adoptable storage option is due to a patch, what happens to internal sd partition (and related data) when we update the firmware?

Most likely nothing as the partitions are handled by vold so it should still work regardless
However you may lose the settings in storage.
You can always reapply the patch.

Looks like how much combined storage is messed up, I have 20gb of video`s and a few ebook, but the storage manager says i have used 96%
Just noticed maximum storage is showing as 256GB, I have an 16gb tablet with an 128gb microsd that`s an maximum of 144GB so it`s wrong by 112GB
Is there anyway to correct this?

I would take the combined storage info with a pinch of salt and just pay attention to the individual storage info which seems to be correct.
It's the same issue for the S7 and other Samsung devices.
Looks like Samsung cobbed something else or maybe this is one of the reasons they disabled it?

I am just going to disable AS, I was just giving it a try, I prefer to be able to remove my microsd when i need, but this bug should be listed.
Thanks

Great job, thank you
Thank you so much, this is the patch I've been waiting for since I upgraded to MM and had to realize that adoptable storage didn't work with my SM-T805.
I split my SD-Card via adb and one of those tutorials existing for S7/S7 Edge, I used this one: http://www.modaco.com/news/android/heres-how-to-configure-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/
Everything went fine and I had 16 GB more free space. The bug that the amount of total space is not shown correctly doesn't bother me, what counts is the new free space that is displayed correct.
16 GB is a joke for the Tab S.
Before I used Link2SD pro, which was ok, but the app didn't work anymore in the correct way in MM.
Here's the result:
