Hello everyone!
So, I have a 64gb version of the 3T and it shows 115GB of total storage at the Storage information inside the File Manager....
Any idea why?
Did you ever root or modified the phones' firmware in any way?

It runs the BETA ,but other than that nothing.
I also noticed that the "Other" partition is more than 70GB on the 64 storage...
It's a second hand phone tho.
I was wondering whether it is possible that it was a 128GB version, but somehow had the wrong OS installed and ended up functioning as a 64GB model.

I am missing roughly 3 to 4GB of space on my internal storage. Long story short -- flashed cm11.0_golden.nova.20141127.ODIN_TWRP the first couple of tries it failed mainly due to me not knowing how to enter into recovery mode. After about 4 or 5 tries I figured it out and all was well. Then I notice a large chunk of my internal storage is missing. I enter recovery mode and format all internal storage. I gain a few hundred MB. I cannot see those missing GB of space at all. My best guess is that those first few unsuccessful attempts at flashing the rom are still there in the internal storage taking the space I am missing. Is there any way to repartition the internal storage? I have used all of the methods available to me with TWRP and have had no success in gaining that storage back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Guessing you have S3 mini soo i have same "issue" it's actually the phone itself takes around 3-4 GB i have usable 4.64 gb and i have 8GB model.
So is this just the normal amount of space taken up by the system? And yes mine is an 8GB model also.
Yes guys it's normal if you have 4GB.
4GB for system and 4GB for user
When i look at how much storage total it lists 4.72GB. For available space it shows 4.27GB. Will the 4GB taken up by the system not be shown? I just figured that it would list close to 8GB total with X amount taken by system. Im pretty sure this is how it was before I flashed the phone.

Could it be the missing 4GB is the partition of the system? I am using stock ROM also can only access about 4GB for saving files and apps. Maybe the CM11 itself using 4GB for OS process and pre-installed/bloatware apps? Just my guest.
You can try to reach the missing space using 3rd party apps such as XDA File Manager. BUT, I wont dare to do anything to the 'hidden files', as I know it could damage your system. That's why they made it invisible to normal/average user (like me). Unless you know what and which files to be played with.

But, what's the actual space occupied by the system files? We could try to resize "system partition" to gain some gb on "data partition"?

I'm also interested in repartitioning it, I successfully made it for a Galaxy S2 and my Note N7000... I used a specific pit file flashed with Odin... is there any pit file for GT-I8190 8 Gb? Thanks in advance!

Im not sure about CM11, but with Slimrom is about 1.23GB. You can see this using Titanium Backup in the overview.

Hi there. Can you tell me more about partition setting/tweaking. I think i've screwed some of it while playing with terminal command.

So, my friend needs to repartition his Note N 7000 (INDIA VER). I had flashed the Resurrection Remix earlier on but he wants to be able to use his entire internal memory. I want to know the best way to go about re partitioning the internal memory. Can anyone guide me on this? I haven't done these stuff in a while since i got my 4th phone (Xperia C, same problem of internal memory) but I am still fairly informed with these stuff. So no worries if you have any complicated steps ... although simple is easier
On the xperia C, there was a command on terminal emulator and a zip flash. Simple. Anything similar?
P.s: Sorry for the long post! It just feels good and different to be back on Xda forums

The coincidence is too eerie. I just got an Xperia C3, rooted but mine has the full 8GB space allocated instead of the usual two internal memory partitions. Installed 1.3GB worth of apps and still have 1.42GB available :laugh:
For the Note 1, use this link

Thank You for the quick reply! :good:
And the first thing i did with my brand new Xperia C was root it the day i bought it and re partition it lol. My brother and friends were flabbergasted.
And I never really understood the logic of having 2 partitions in internal memory...Weird. Glad it's no longer in practice.
Will report how it goes.
I purchased a 64GB SDcard for my Huawei P8 thinking I could use it as internal storage so Apps could be stored on it as the current 16GB of memory is not enough.
Only to find that using the stock ROM the only thing you can move to the SDCard are files (Pics etc.) not Apps.
Is this a hardware or software restriction?
If I install a custom ROM will I be able to use my SDCard as internal storage and store Apps on it?
Any recommendations as to the best roms to use?

How is possible that there is only available 103.33 GB out of 128 GB while other 128 phone have for example Galaxy note 9 111GB? If it says cause by A/B partitions, this seems like too much difference.

Also for 64gb version i can use 46.01gb. there is a little bit difference between actual size of storage for example my hard disk is 1tb(1024 gb) but i can use 930gb. thats how storage works. it is normal
edit: a/b partitions takes 2x system partitions than a only devices(every partition is twiced expect data) converted 64gb a2's storage is 50gb
I saw somewhere that you A/B takes up to 1 GB more. Well, it is around 6-8 gigs less than A device, this can be a huge downside for Android One devices without SD card. I guess my next phone wont be A One.?
@ond96, every partition has a version of Android on it self, so when update comes, it install it self on inactive partition, then when your phone ask for restart, it switches active partition to one that just got updated, and every time after new update rotate partitions.
So, if installed system occupies ~10GB x 2 .... there you go.
This is a big problem for 32GB versions of this phone, I have 64GB, and I don't mind.
Quick question: Is the available storage space on MIUI12.5 109GB available? I can see two websites that list the Mi9T Pro as having 109GB of available storage space but just wanted to see whether this was the same for everyone else.
Reason being - I recently decided to update the newest MIUI12.5 version so the updater would stop nagging me and bumped into some MiFlash errors which I assume are due to quirks with MiFlash and USB3 (Xiaomi really needs to give MiFlash some work). Whilst my third attempt at flashing went smoothly start to finish with no errors I just noticed that 109GB is the available space with about 6GB used. The capacity of /root under Solid Explorer is 112.95GB.
My gut tells me everything is fine but that means MIUI consumers a LOT of space. I'd garner the overall eMMC is probably 117GB formatted and obviously that's not all going to be available for use but I just want to make sure I'm not missing any GBs. I'm guessing a successful MiFlash resets the storage chip anyway.
If anyone can check their partition sizes on stock MIUI and give me a general idea that everything is sized normally I'd be grateful!
If you're short on time, a thumbs up will do!
