What is the 'Other' in storage? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just a little over 10gb is being taken up by Other when looking through storage in settings. Can anyone break down exactly what is included in it so I can use an explorer and free up some space? Thanks

Other stands for files that are not apps, music, videos/photos or browser downloads. For example if you transfer from PC to your phone navigation maps, games backup data, etc they will appear as Other because the phone doesn't know for what that file type is used for.

Do you have nandroid backups or any ROM zips on your phone anywhere?

It's your OS. Sense takes up that other for 8 or 9 so gb.

use DiskUsage on the playstore to get a detailed look at where your storage is being used

A pretty handy app in my opinion, and as always, if it's a widget you use, keep it in internal memory.
Thanks, this should come in handy. I was previously moving everything over 1 by 1 with Titanium.
Thanks, looks like it's an easier way to figure out which app is Froyo A2SD compatible then anything else I've found.

[Q] UOT KITCHEN Help

Can someone tell me where to put the files for uploading them to the kitchen from the phone? I used ES filexplorer to take them out from the rom on my phone.
Thanks.
Transfer the files from your phone to your Mac/PC.
In UOT's Kitchen go to the "File Uploade" page.
Activate "System Files" under "Select your rom from kitchen's list, or upload your own files".
Click on the "Select files" buttons and browse to you files on your Mac/PC.

There is a very good video of how to do it here.
Thanks for the reply but that i did know...but i wanna know how to do it from my phone without the pc ever being used.
If I remember correctly, I tried to do this on my phone's browser but it couldn't upload the files using UOT's interface on the site for some reason. So PC only for now, I'd think.
Thanks for your answers, i cooked on my pc then downloaded it via wifi on my phone, my sweet children has destroyed 4 out of 4 usb ports on my laptop thats why i was wondering.
If you are using Wifi you could use WiFi Explorer or MyPhone Explorer..
Thanks for the tip!

[App][4.0+]Live Backup

--===*** ROOT IS REQUIRED ***===--
This app will perform a nandroid backup while you are still using your phone.
Currently the app supports two recoveries: TWRP and CWM are fully supported for Live Backup.
This app DOES NOT use the O-Nandroid shell script.
***You must have the Stericson BusyBox installed***
Finalizing Backup will take a long time. Please be patient as it is not hung up. Do not kill the app while Finalizing Backup is running. If it is making your phone run slow, and this is causing issues, please click "Abort!"
We have also added the ability to upload a backup to dropbox, this will help if you need to format your internal or external storage

Can't access to my internal storage mi5

hi, I cant go to my internal storage on my mi5. I'm currently on Marshmallow with cyanogenmod 2016-20-12.
I have a lot of photos in my internal storage, but when the phone on, I cant access it in my gallery. Neither my music. I can see my photos in other gallery that scan my phone.
When I shut down the phone into my TWRP, I can see my photos in my pc, and all the files that i have in the internal storage.
I've tried a lot of ways to resolve it but I cant find it. those ways are:
- change ROM: I've try with very ROMS of marsmallow and nougat.
- Format internal storage on TWRP
- change filesistem of storage on TWRP
- clean the chache of internal storage, external storage..
- searching on the web for any information but..
I have to say that the media on whatsapp, when the days pass, I can check it in my gallery, but only the media since I install a ROM.. the other media I cant see it.
Attached I leave the images in case you serve as a guide
