phone misjudging memory - LG Optimus 4X HD

Help!
My phone says it has its memory completely full, but it says that the apps are bigger than the memory itself!
I'm running cyanogenmod nightlies.
I know I don't have anything that big because even when I completely reflashed the ROM, it said I had 1gb free.
I think its Google play music, but I have it all on my SD card. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Are you using ART runtime?

i did for a while, but i changed back to dalvik.

Just that apps are a lot bigger on ART. That was my thinking of what could be the reason

Flash gingerbread. ICS is buggy/laggy/WIP/whatever. Those are some of the smaller bugs.

The one x is too big for me.
The one s could be perfect if it had nfc and better screen.

You can 'unpartition' your µSD by formatting it with SDformatter and set Format Size Adjustment to ON. Format type FULL(OverWrite) is recommended.

Device Getting Slow

I've downloaded a lot of things on my nexus 7, but now it's getting slow and unresponsive, would a factory reset fix that issue? Also is there a way to keep some videos and pictures after a factory reset?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Try asking the question in Q&A section next time.
Also try cleaning the cache
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=cache&c=apps
Don't install any crap on your device which you don't really need.. even cache cleaners. You can clean the cache from within the OS. Settings>Storage>Cached Data.
Keep at least two GB's of storage free, one thing I noticed is when you fill up your storage the device gets really slow and lags real hard.

That's what I heard. I also heard that once you do get to the point of it lagging, the only way to fix it is a full wipe,, supposedly just clearing some space doesn't fix it.

I was noticing lag in my system as well, even after multiple full wipes and clean installs. What helped me incredibly was wiping the internal storage, and I had like 8 gigs free still.. So might wanna try that.

You can try adjusting the read ahead too. I heard that once there's not alot space left that lowering or playing with the read ahead might improve performance.

My nexus 7 is not smooth at all!

I have rooted,overclocked,custom launcher etc but STILL it feels laggy, how can i solve the problem? i have latest jellybean 4.3
Try doing a clean install of 4.3 and using a different kernel.

I personally use M-Kernel. But my two favorite kernels are M-Kernel and FrancoKernel. Both can be found in the Nexus 7 Original Development section.
You should install CM 10.1.2.
Everything seems to work and my Nexus 7 is faster than ever. I was running Paranoid Android and it was laggy as hell.

Maybe you have filled the SD card too much. When the nexus has very low free space, it slows down significantly.

Disable Halo.
If you're running stock 4.3, disable Google currents. This is a tried and tested fix that should fix any choppiness.
If the problem still persists, follow what veeman said and try using other kernels

Ok, thanks. It helped a bit but is it still possible to smooth it out more? or maybe it's just the hardware now.

You could try running an app like Forever Gone SD card cleaner. And using Greenify to hibernate apps that are running in the background might help.

Holy ****, why does this work as well as it does?! I use currents all the time on my N4 without issue but WOW what a difference it made uninstalling it on my N7.

Just got a first gen 32gb model running 4.3 and it's just fine. I did go into Developer Options and turn off those silly 1x animation things to "off".
Might want to give that a try.

Double tap and drag it to the X at the top. Halo is still buggy on 4.3.
If you have hundreds of apps installed, use Greenify. Sorry, root is req.

Isn't this generally the same with all devices?
For example, completely fill up your computer's hard drive and test how laggy it is compared to when it had nothing but the OS installed.

ART runtime on moto x

I am on a Verizon moto x and wondering if I should switch to ART runtime or if it will brick my device in some way?

I switched when I got this phone two weeks ago... no bricking or anything. I haven't measured anything but the phone feels quick and smooth.
It won't brick your device but do note that ART is in an alpha stage and not all apps are compatible with it yet, so you may not be able to run everything you can with Dalvik
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
I used art for a couple of weeks. It FELT a little quicker, but only slightly so, and this could have been a placebo effect. I'm back on dalvik, now--mostly because xposed framework is not compatible with art.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
i don't personally feel it's a substantial enough speed increase and i have yet to see any type of battery increase. however, the primary benefit of ART is applications are compiled as they are installed, which means shorter load times and better usability. dalvik requires compilation at the launch of the app. if your dalvik cache is cleared, or gets too large, there can be complications with load times, system performance, etc. (which is why so many people suggest clearing that cache).
the fundamental benefits of ART are the reasons i chose to stick with it.

Xposed doesn't work on ART. It automatically switches to Dalvik everytime you try to use ART. You've been using Dalvik for a long time and you didn't even noticed. One more reason to believe ART (at least on Moto X) is just placebo.
Enviado de meu XT1058 usando Tapatalk
I used ART for about a week before returning to Dalvik for the Xposed Framework, and I definitely have better battery life using Dalvik. I'd noted this in another topic and another member had replied in agreement. He'd also noted better scrolling in some apps but lesser battery life using ART. Now, that's not saying you'll get 3 hours screen time using ART versus 4.5 using Dalvik, but the difference was enough to be noticeable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48616638&postcount=6
I was using ART once 4.4 got pushed to our phones.
I turned it off once I saw all the changes for ART that went into 4.4.1 and 4.4.2, so once we get 4.4.2 I'll turn it back on....that is if i can give up xposed.
I will only switch to ART once Xposed is compatible with it. Until then Dalvik it is.

I made the same mistake, thinking I was still on ART after installing Xposed Framework. The installer doesn't notify you that it's switching you back to dalvik. Your only indication of this change is when you get the 'android is updating' message upon rebooting.

Totally agree. I have great battery life and stability as well. I've used art almost from very beginning.
I've been using ART on stock 4.4.2 rooted and its been great. No problems with any of the apps I used, but I also don't use xposed. I didn't notice any differences in battery life between ART and Dalvik. :good:

Hey - coming in from my photo thread to tell you that after switching to ART I had no problems with FV-5, and I checked afterwards to make sure I was still set to ART, which I was.

I take it back. I am unable to get my moto x to boot iwith ART. I set it as an option, but something is causing it to default to dalvik during boot. I uninstalled Xposed but that did not change the result.
I have an "android is upgrading", with each power on for 4 items now. Unrooted & 442.
Seems strange to me.
Has anyone found a way to get the long press volume to skip track mod on art? That mod is the only think keeping me on dalvik because I use it a ton.

Yeah for some reason, I think starting with Android 9, no apps nor the system manager offer app cache cleaning. The Google Files app is the closest one as "Junk Files" is a lot of temporary and cache files for things YouTube, music apps, etc. that get many MBs worth.

There's not even an option in recovery I think. Just a data clear.

Are you rooted? You can increase the size of vram and increase swappiness and this should help. It won't clear the ram but it will move the unused pieces of ram into bran so there will always be enough ram to either play some intense games that require ram or multitasking and not having any apps close due to not enough ram.
