I don't know if it is normal, but exposed installer takes up about 230MB's of internal memory space (used by data). Is this a bug?
Thanks!

You are using modules which do masive logging. Blame their authors and clear the cache
Thanks i'll do that!
Yea the installer itself does not take up that much space gotta be the modules

Its usually caused by module throwing errors...
A while back... Gravity Box was a big one... It would keep logging errors for people on CM based roms
I don't use that module,
i use YouTube Adaway, Greenify, Instagram downloader, Bootmanager, Smooth progressbars and KeepChat
i cleared the logs and the problem is fixed thanks!

Hey guys,
I haven't been able to find very much on this, so if you guys can help, that'd be great.
This morning, I woke up, and my phone said "low on space". I tried everything from a reboot to taking the battery out, etc. Then I went into Menu>Setting>SD and Phone storage, and something caught my eye. The "Available Phone Storage" area was losing memory as I was looking at it! It decreased from 500kb, and settled down somewhere around 28kb. And two days ago i had 30MB!!! How did this happen?

The only thing I can think of being a culprit would be an app that needs to be downloading tons of data. I know the XDA app downloads data when you view new forums... do you use that a lot?

Ok, try this. Do a fresh install of whatever ROM you're using, and don't install any extra apps. See if you start to lose space like you are right now. Then, install the apps one by one, and you'll see which app is taking up your free space.
Have you tried a wiping and restoring your ROM? That may be your only option. Strange issue to have

+1...beat me to it
my wifes was doing this, i noticed the "contact storage" was almost 80mb! She has over 300 friends on FB and its set to refresh that every 2 hours. Try clicking on menu-settings-then accounts &sync... they are set at default to every2 hours. it would freeze her phone and couldn't receive texts or calls until its don't refreshing sometimes too more than an hour. not sure if this is a complete fix or not just tried it earlier today.
Its the HTC Mail app possibly. There are temp files building up. Only way to clear them is to be rooted and delete them with a file manager.

Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone experience jerky performances.
I have about 10 pages of apps installed mostly games and stock apps.
When I use advance app killer, usually i see stock apps eg. facebook, browser, ebook, etc.. When I kill them all, performance doesn't improve much.
If the 10 pages are the reason, any way to know which is running in background and sucking up resources?
The performance of your Gtab is jerky coz of the apps that run in the background even if you close them they restart.. u cn use startup auditor app to increase performance... if all fails hard reset nd install only required Apps not the apps u don't use but run behind nd eat up RAM nd battery

a certain app may be using up too much background resources. try uninstalling the culprit. detct it by trial and error
I was in a similar situation until I last had to factory reset my Tab due to the whole issue with Google Apps Google Accounts not having access to Google Checkout on the Android Market.
Installed over 100 apps on my first day with the Tab (over-excited, I know ), and realized that my Tab started to lag when opening the app drawer. The problem became most apparent when I shut down or rebooted the Tab; it would literally take minutes to boot up, and often it would freeze and force close my launcher several times in a row.
I chalked it down to having too many apps, but later read that many apps start themselves up on boot even if they had no reason to (e.g. Amazon, Aldiko, etc.)
I've since only installed apps that I would really use throughout the day, but would you guys say that so long these apps do not run on startup (say I disable them using the Autostarts app), I can install a hundred or even two hundred apps without the boot up lag?
So there's no way to see which app is running in background and % memory used, similar to windows task manager?
When I use Advanced task killer, are those 'apps shown' considered as background apps or are background apps invisible?
From my RAM manager, I see like 180+ to 200mb out of 400+mb. I think that's the remaining RAM ?
Anyone knows the stock RAM out of the box?
It might be because carriers pre load crap on them

Installed the free startup app and found the culprits ... GAMELOFT games. They are huge in size and think they eat up the memory in background/at startup.
After disabling, all back to normal.

Why on earth would you want to detect it by trial and error when there is plenty of apps you can use to find it specifically?

Use a app like system panel, It will show you all the running apps and there memory/cpu consumption etc.

Any apps that I click I get unfortunately (app) has stopped... I open Terminal Emulator, and type "df" , under /datadata ..Size 422 M used all 422M there no free space..
I still have more than 13G in storage/sdcard ... any help... Thanks
Which ROM are you running? I forget whether that is a current partition scheme or not. Either way, clear app data cache, remove apps you don't need, or move some to the SD card.

Perhaps you could delete apps that aren't needed. Also, you might have a rogue app, I would check what's draining your ram/battery and uninstall that app if it's not needed or can be replaced.

Under battery stats in settings. You can also get apps like OS Monitor or BetterBatteryStats.

Are you listening to a lot of music?
If not, it could be coming from a 3rd party player or that you have a lot of music scattered around your SD and it's having trouble reading it.
NOTE: I'm including here all issues I found, some seems not to be CM specific, but related to all KitKat ROMs and others to Note's Exynos hardware. Above all, big thanks to the ROM's developer(s) for his awesome work!
Hi all,
I can't write in the official development thread, so I'll post here (BTW eventually I'll get rights to write there). I've been using CM nightlies since one year ago. Started with 10.2 and now I'm using 11.
I've been suffering for a long time an issue that I've finally fixed, from time to time my device was very hot and battery drained very fast, only a reboot helped, looking into Settings > Battery I always find GPSD to be guilt guy, that problem was caused by Google's Android Device Manager, once I disabled the extended permissions in Security > Device Managers, the issue disappeared. I'm putting this here for the record, so maybe other people could find it useful.
Other issues: I tried to use a external microSD card filled with music, but from time to time the card freezes (player won't work, and file explorer apps also can't list directories), after rebooting is ok again.
Another thing, yesterday I updated from some February's nightly to CM-11-20140326-NIGHTLY, and now google's calendar app will FC when agenda view is requested. Also my agenda widgets won't show anything.
EDIT 3/28: Some people in development thread are reporting that their devices freeze for some seconds, this seems to be related to the lack of trim optimizations, I've also solved this by always having more than 50% of free space in both partitions (internal & external), unfortunately, this means for me that I can't use ART and I must hold to Dalvik, not a big deal anyway. BTW, does anybody else lost icons in Google Now Launcher after every reboot? God I miss Trebuchet....
EDIT 3/31: The FC issue in calendar is gone after updating to CM-11-20140330-NIGHTLY, and for the lost icons issue I've finally switched to Nova Launcher Premium, great app BTW.
Greetings
Hi, are the icons of apps that disappear ones you have on SD ?..

Music player bug is a known bug (not a feature) on all KitKat Roms for our device and the S2. Bug on Exynos 4 devices.
There is a thread in omni sub-forum dealing with this issue...
Forum link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49470330
You can fill up your internal and external SD. Shouldn't have an impact on ART or dalvik, but if your /data partition is getting filled up with your user apps (2GB), then you'll get in trouble with ART...
You'll get "write rights" in development section when you have successfully posted 10 times on XDA...not a real hurdle...
hi,
juste like you i've been using CM10.2, and then updated to a clean CM11.
Things works great and stability is quite impressive for a nighty room.
The only thing that really has big problem is the camera... It's making yellow pics !!!! Solve by using focal ....

Hi, yes, thankyou somebody else point me in the same direction, the icons disappearing are related to apps allocated in "external" memory...

Hi thank you for your answer the problem is, generated cache using ART is a lot bigger, and I empirically tested that whenever I get more than 50% of the internal (or external) memory full phone starts to freeze from time to time, seems to be related with the lack of TRIM optimizations
Having problems with my phone a good few months after I updated to L. After initial problems I wiped the cache after update and it made a great difference and behaved nicely.
But now it seems to have gotten very sluggish and a cache wipe makes only a very short term difference (maybe a few days to a week). It seems especially sluggish responding to Home button, with the icons for phone, SMS etc. sometimes taking up a good 10s, maybe even more, to appear.
I have 1.36GB storage free and c.283MB of RAM free currently.
Any ideas or any apps that can help diagnose?

It could be a RAM problem. If you have root try greenifying some apps, and perhaps deativate Google Now or always listening options. Try also other launcher, like Nova Launcher...

Try factory reset or reinstall stock but there is no reason to not install a custom rom which is much more better than stock

Some apps don't work with root. For example Banking apps. So there are at least 1 reason to not install a custom ROM.
Get rid of Xposed, Facebook and Facebook messenger. Use the mobile version of them.
See if there's too many apps running in background. You barelly have 1.5 GB of free space, so i assume you've plenty of apps installed. Also try to Uninstall Updates and Disable some of them under Settings > Application. You can reclaim some space and get rid of bloat.
