Problem with the "internal space" in CM 4.2.2 - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hello,i have installed the ClockWorkMod 6.0.3.1. in my unlocked optimus 4X,and later installed the CM 10.1 stable 10.1.3 ,and i have a big problem with the internal space.
Install the CM correctly with all wipies and clean cache davilk.
The Apps occupy the twice of the space in the internal SD. The asphalt 8 occupy 3gb, fifa 14 2,8gb !!!.
With the "file explorer" i eliminated maual only one archive in the folder "0" or "Legacy", and the files is eliminated in all folders.
Install the CM correctly with all wipies and clean cache davilk.

check data/media/android/obb folder. thats the folder where data of asphalt f.e. from 4.1.2 rom is placed. for 4.2.2+ roms it's in data/media/0/android/obb

the legacy is the sd card emulation and the number is the user. 0 is the default user , you. your rom supports add user feature. its simple link (or call it a shortcut) to seperate users. it doesnt install many times everything, all users point to same sd card location.

Here is the distribuition of the folders:
raiz:/storage/emulated/0/-----------here all folders(alarms,android,dcim,etc...)
--------------------------------/legacy/----here all folders(alarms,android,dcim,etc...)
------------------/sdcard0/here all folders(alarms,android,dcim,etc...)
------------------/sdcard1/here my external sd
Now the capacity of the folder:
raiz:/storage/emulated/0/-----------3,37gb 223 archives 103 folders
--------------------------------/legacy/-----3,37gb 223 archives 103 folders
------------------/sdcard0/----0,00kb
------------------/sdcard1/----897mb
In my phone i go to /settings/storage/
Now go into storage and no color bar reaches half. When I give to update bar turns gray over three quarters, and down again to where it was before.
Espace total 12,26gb
Avaiable 1,93gb
Aplications 3,73gb
Images 140kb
Audio 1,25mb
Downloads 2,47mb
Data in cache 55,24mb
Varios 166mb

any solution???

what ? really ? still worrying about the profiles ? do a clean install and first thing to do , check with a root explorer the folders. you will see that 0 and legacy are shortcuts. internal sdcard is mounted in mnt, in there you will see the real folder tree.
then there is the emulation of the profiles. if u create a second profile , then a shortcut will be created for example : "storage/emulated/1/" which leads to the mounted sdcard in mnt. all profiles lead there. even if there were 10 users , the sdcard folder would be the same. its not extra storage. those are ONLY links. maybe for example "0" is the operator, you. the permissions would be read , write, execute. if there was for example your little sister she would maybe be "1". the permissions to that shortcut if u want, they could be only read. this means she cant delete anything.

hey willy... no one can help us. i have your same problem with an aosp roms. when i flash the rom all my memory stuff is hide, and i can`t understand. i go back to official and all my stuff appear again... like magic... explain to me that please... sorry for my poor english... we will appreciate your helps...

read my post in this same thread, its explained in there. pre-4.2.2, mounting point for sdcard was data/media/, 4.2.2 and up its data/media/0. so if you had stock rom, your stuff will be in data/media/Android for example, then when you upgraded to custom 4.2.2, that data stayed there, while new one is created in data/media/Android/0.

just noticed it too. he is not completely wrong. in data/media/ alright there are 3 folders.
(1) 0 , (2) legacy , (3) obb.
in there, legacy is empty and 0 is our sdcard. so sdcard is mounted to 0.
if we go to mnt the sdcard is mounted in legacy.
if we go to storage we see 3 folders.
(1)emulated , (2) sdcard0 , (3) sdcard1. we forget sdcard1 for now, since its the external card.
watch 1 and 2. sdcard0 and is mounted in legacy.
lets go now inside emulated.
We see 2 folders,
(1) 0 , (2) legacy.
They both contain same files and both point to 0.
what is that now ? sdcard has two different mount points which in the end lead at the same folder. the system cant read correctly the remaining free space, its adding the two mount points so we have less free space which is wrong. but below we see the true values.
example for me now:
free space 11,36gb
apps 291 mb
pictures,videos 26,14 mb
download 8 kb
cache 40,18 mb
more various things 422 mb.
(also considering 400mb swap which cant be seen anywhere)
so i have : 291+26,14+0,08+40,18+422+400=1176,4
oke lets keep it. 1176,4 mb.
the internal cant be exactly 16 gb of course. lets say i have 15,4 gb
why the system sais i have 11,36 gb free space ?
So even if our real free space is 13 gb whats the meaning if the system only see 11 gb free space ?
In my case i dont play games so i have enough storage to "play" around.
But in the case of a hardcore gamer isnt that a problem ?
( for internal space always. hardcore gamers of course usually use external space )
EDIT:
those values are on cm10.2. ( jellybean 4,3 )
so the problem is not only in 4.2.2 the title sais, but on every cm rom.

I have this problem in a CM rom,in stock rom have more space.
all files 3,758 gb,and only have 2'15gb free,to 12,26gb...

you did not format internal sd card!!! i already wrote in this topic what the cause of yoru problem is. format itnernal sd card, install roms from external, and it will all work. you WILL loose everything on internal card, including music/pictures/etc!

[Q] why internal storage size still decrease after app2ext enabled?

i know this has been asked a thousand times, but i can't find the answer after 2 days searching...
i'm using milestone 1, i flashed latest cm7 rom following a tutorial here, version number CyanogenMod 7.0.1 0.08-11.04.24 (Android 2.3.3) , yes i know that i need ext2/3/4 partition on my sdcard. so i createdd one fat32 5gig primary partition and one 2gig ext3 primary partition.
later i installed around 80 apps , if i open root explorer, i see in /sd-ext folder, 251mb used, 1.60g free , i know this indicates that app2ext is working (according to some reply in that really long cm7 thread)
but if i come to the manage applications menu which comes with android, on the downloaded tab, it stills shows that 96mb used, 101mb free for the internal storage. is this normal ? will i get the low storage space warning in the future if i install more apps ? ( all the apps are in internal storage, the on sdcard tab shows all app is not in sdcard. i set default installation path to internal storage in cw setting , some apps still install themself to sdcard however, but i manually move them back by pressing the move to phone button.)
oh and i saw some tutorials saying i need to type some mysterious command in console in OR, so i can move and link some folders to ext partition, say /data/dalvik_cache and some other folders. do i need to do this for cm7 mod i'm using?
thanks if someone could show me the correct direction. I'm totally confused by the massive amount tutorials.

I believe that CM7 does not send the dalvik-cache of each app you install to the ext2 partition. So you still take up space on your phone, just much less.

I have this problem too. And after I cleaned chache and dalvik cache, my internal storage is almost full

Hey guys,
I recently rooted my s3 mini to JB 4.1.2 by faria and i was wondering why i cant install any more apps as my ram is used up by all my apps. is there a way to clear/wipe all this data and start from scratch installations or any way i can move this huge game files in android/obb to another location in my sdcard to save space for app installations on my phone memory.
also, i have tried directory bind,app2sd, lind2sd and gl to sd(root) none of them seems to be installing or working for me as i still face the prob with installation of the same app.
kindly help.

Simply wipe dalvik-cache and everything will work fine.

I used titanium backup and wiped dalvik cache. Still no use. Same error. Is there any way I can install busy box in linux.

Remove a LOT of your apps. That should fix the storage problem until you get the script into /data.

try changing default install location. possible with normal device options, dont remember where. or else use app2sd to change it.
although i have the same error, when trying to install anything on extsdcard (with enough room on it), with faria rom v5.1.
with leatherface v2 i didnt have the problem if i remember correct.
update:
i still have the problem too.
wiped dalvik, factory reset multiple times, cleaned odin files, although faria rom is also using odex?
phone works fine, but i only have 4,5gb max internal (fused internal and sdcard).
and i cant install anything to external. i selected the options *install to: autoselect by android, internal, or external.
i tried it with more then one app, like rom toolbox pro.
i also noticed that chaning it it one app, correctly alters it in another.
i asked this in q&a, and i read what i can searching the whole forum. still i wuold really like to know:
-is 4,5 gb max combined/fused is normal for s3 mini +faria rom)?
-is it normal to have .obb partition completely empty, even having installed multipple apps?
its 402mb, totally free.
And i have other partitions also 402 mb, totally free.
-/cache partitions remains at 14mb, whatever happends, even after changing usage of cache heavier and lighter.
-cant install anything on extsdcard.
-/mnt/sdcard shows in that directory, with root explorer, as linked to sdcard0.
same in root:/sdcard (not sdcard0!) linked to -> sdcard0
but it has no apps in it. and only some folders.
?i dont know if i am correct in assuming that "->" symbol in root explorer means: linked to.

no that is not what i mean exactly.
i do use link2sd now, to use my extsd 2nd partition. but it gives an error: installl_failed_insufficent storage.
even when i put it on auto.
when pressing create link, i get: i/o error.
what do you have selected to auto move to 2nd partition?
my primary question, has to do with the fused internal+sdcard phone memory (so not extsdcard), of faria firmware.
Phone sees the fused internal as,... internal memory.
and the phone sees my extsdcard as external sdcard.
i presumed the reason for this is to be able to install apps on ext sd too, by default. (so without link2sd or others).
because the problem as i see it is:
now i have less phone storage.
i still cannot install to external sd card.
i would really like to know
- what should be the benefits of this fused memory? why did faria do this?
- beacause now i have less or same memory, and no benefits.
-what i have to change in system mount, or fuse, to get back original non-fused.
- And/Or, how i can enable extsdcard to install to it too.
thanks
Have you tried with an ext4 partition on your external sd, for link2sd? I've read somewhere that it worked.
Otherwise Directorybind do work. I've binded the whole Android folder without any problems at all :good:

found a solution (maybe?)
I personally had the same problem right after flashing a new rom on my i9100. I read through the script amd it was quite literally just unmounting and mounting the sd card again. I wasn't sure how it could possibly be a simple matter of mounting the sd card but it worked so I'm okay with that.
If you're on 4.1.2 then you can probably manually unmount and mount the sd card by going into system settings, storage and scroll down to sd card for unmount. It'll take a short while to unmount and another to mount again and check for errors. Not sure if you have to do this will ever boot but it beats not ever installing anything, right?

FACTORY RESET SHOULD FIX THAT. POSSIBLY THE MOUNT POINT CHANGE MADE THE PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED APP EXIST, BUT UNSEEN.
OR IF YOUR MIND IS AS STRONG AS YOUR CAPS LOCK, TRY MOVING YOUR PREVIOUS ROM'S INTERNAL TO THE CURRENT ROM'S MOUNT POINT.

I second that. had this happen to me.
I've had something similar, but for me it was incomplete downloads being cached in the the internal storage - a few roms, an attempted firmware download and there was 1.5GB of stuff that I couldn't immediately locate.
One of my favourite utility apps is called Disk Usage - this gives you a visual representation of what is taking up space on your SD cards (so bigger files/folders are large on the screen), I forget the exact name of the folder but thanks to this app I could quickly work out what was taking up so much space.
And some versions of CWM do seem to hide the back up somewhere not obvious - my average back ups are betwen 1.5 and 2GB so one or two of these will eat up most of your internal storage.

[Q] not enough space can help link2sd?

hello , my question is can i make 2. partition for link2sd?
i tryed this with 3-4gb and ext4 but when i linking apps all works fine but when i restart the phone all apps are away,
i fount it with root explorer but not more on phone. must i maby make format in fat32 is this the difference???
or give a another change to make more space i have 32gb sd cart , for nothing??? baldurs gate, assasins pirates, air supremazy or gta san andreas are great games thats i need some more space
thanks for any solution thats working and help my regarts to all (sry my bad english)
Link2sd do not working from Androids 4.1 to up.
Do not ask Why or If will ever be a patch like that, I will be glad to expand the storage on my phone too but not in this way.
The only solution at the moment is use Folder Mount App.

Yes, when you "mount" a folder you have a double data, the moved files are the real one, the other folder (where the data was before) are the ghost once (fake), folder mount do that because the system have to read to that file.
In the moment when you unpick the folder, from green to white, the ghost files disappears. Yes, it's a bit confusional but when you learn it will be easy to use.
Remember, when a folder are mounted in Folder Mount (green pick) if you delete the ghost files you will delete also the reals one, be careful.
Apps Analyzer check for Apps to move data from internal to external, just choose the destination (exc..make a folder Games) and yes, overwrite when asked, it will move the files, then they are mounted when is green.
If you have an app and Apps Analyzer do not recognize that app just do it manually, go to List of pairs, click Plus (+), browse to the folder which you want move to SD (obb or data), choose destination and name of the application, done.
Keep testing. you will understand and check always the Internal Storage, if you see it will never go up even if you have double data as the one in internal storage is the fake one.
Click thanx for me. XP
I'm using Link2sd with pac rom (cm based 4.4) without problems. Since the latest update it can even move data to the second partition, so it basically moves everything now. Perhaps you're on stock rom that does not support init.d scripts?

That is a good new but Pac Man rooms seems not stable yet and with few bugs.
Do you can mount the whole SD card as internal storage? or just the partition EXT4?

With the current Pac rom nightly I only have some camera problems, the rest seems really stable already.
Link2sd needs a second partition (which can be ext4, but also ext2/3 or even fat), so you can't use the whole sdcard.

Sorry I misunderstood. With the newest version it really moves everything connected to the app to the second partition and frees up the space in the system storage.

It's a common issue if this script, I had this many times before and this make huge problems as you "maybe" can fix it by wiping Dalvik Cache but if you do that all your saved apps data cache can be losted. So I will be glad if we will be able to mount a whole SD card instead of internal memory so we will get rid of this errors.

[Q] free space disapeared

Hi,
On the first screens, i've no free space on the phone storage and i've about 3 or 4 apps that need just less than 1gb... What does mean the 4.31gb "other" ?
What can i do to fix that ?
As you can see, part of my application disapeared because of the way in the storage changed...
For example, when i take a picture it's located in storage/emulated/0/picture/screenshot and before it was simply picture/screenshot.
I tried to do a factory reset but nothing change after that...
Thanks in advance

It seems like you have just under 1GB of free space on phone storage.
I just went on HTC.com and here is the conversation about what Other is:
10:31:30 PM Customer Corey
Initial Question/Comment: When I go into Settings-Storage-Phone Storage-Other it says I am using 3.53GB. I would like to know what this Other stuff is.

Hi Corey, how are you? I will assist you today.

I am doing good. How are you?
10:33:15 PM Agent Federico P.
Under OTHER is stored all the system files, updates, cache, and information that the phone needs to work, it cannot be deleted unfortunately.
10:33:35 PM Customer Corey
Ok. Thank you very much that is all I needed to know.
It seems like there is nothing you can do to fix that.
Your applications disappeared because you moved them to the sdcard, but something else also happened or you just need to restart your phone so they will reappear. If you remove your sdcard after moving them to the sdcard, they can appear greyed out like that. There can also be a problem with your sdcard and that is why your apps appear like that and your pictures save on your phone.
Try to change your Primary storage by going into Settings-Storage-Primary storage and set it to Automatic switching. You may have to restart your phone.
I really think there is a problem with your sdcard, ranging from a minor problem all the way up to it is not working anymore.

First, thanks for your answer !
I know there were a part of "other" but this part was not more than about 2 gb before. I don't think the problem is my sd card cause the application i showed you on the screenshot are the only one i did not move ... For example, i had Hearthstone moved and it steel on my sd card.
The picrture was just an example, all my memory moved to emulated/0
And the same for settings/storage/primary is the same than ever
When i plugged my phone with usb to my computer, the internal storage were about 7.60 gb,... And look what i can see now
I can't download what i want with that...
All of that happen when i followed a tutorial to upgrade RAM with ROEHSOFT. I was needing to partition my EXTERNAL storage, what i did. I make a swap part about 3gb and the rest for the storage in fat32. After the partition, i had my 2 part but my internal storage change like what you see on these pictures. I think partition is now in my internal storage & that why the default internal storage way changed... But i have no idea to fix it... Can't use backup, can't part internal storage again, can't factory reset cause it has no effect after reboot...

I think you should delete the apps that are showing that they were on your sdcard then try to reinstall them. They should be in Settings-Apps.
I just looked up the ROEHSOFT RAM Expander (SWAP) app. I have never heard of this app before, but it had this as a note:
Note: only FAT32 Drives can be used for Swap. When you are using a Partition then use fat32 format or swap otherwise it will not be visible in the Drivelist!
It may not be working right because you need to use a FAT32 partition for the SWAP/RAM. If needed you can use Aparted to format the sdcard then use ROEHSOFT again to create SWAP. I found this tutorial. Is this how you did it or something different?

That's what i did but it cause the different default path in my internal storage.
Finally i flashed cwm and wipe all + factory reset. Now i have what i had before. I still have 4 gb use by android so i think i had this before... ? I did not find any rom for the 64 bits euro, are the cricket/boost/etc working on it ? Or maybe there some roms i did not found like cm11 or cm12 ?

Where did you get CWM from? Did you use this recovery? As far as I know, there is no ROM for 64-bit, you cannot use the Cricket/Boost/etc. Those are just for 32-bit. There is a kernel.

ClockWorkMod is the only one i know how to use so i flashed this one
I saw somewhere that the stock rom was also in 32 bits so i'm gonna see no difference if i install cm11 32 bits, right ?

Oh, ok, I didn't know that CWM was available for the 64-bit version. Thanks for that info.
As far as I know our ROMs are KitKat based, which only supports 32-bit devices. It will be good when Lollipop hits our devices as it supports 64-bit devices, but I'm not so sure if the ROMs that were built for 32-bit devices will work for a 64-bit device. You would have to ask the respective developers of those ROMs. My guess is no.
