I recently noticed that my 64gb mi a2 has 45GB space available.
how much space the system takes off the phone? 19GB?
also if I later install custom ROM on it does this space get larger or are they fixed and are just not used with custom ROM?
I think the size is fixed and should not increase or decrease after flashing any custom ROMs.

With the latest rom upgrade to 1.37 the diamond is much snappier and is much much better than its original rom 1.35.
What is disappointing though is that the diamond comes with only 60Mb free storage for the user as compared to 115-150mb for the kaiser or tytnII(all these devices comes with 256mb rom)
Htc ought to install some of its default programs and files eg opera, music,ringtones and pictures,etc that had occupied space in the rom(storage) into its internal storage which had 4 gig instead of using the precious rom space that had only 256mb thereby freeing the rom storage space for additional programs to be install by the user.
Perhaps some rom developer can make a clean rom and the default programs can be installed into the internal storage as cab files subsequently
If the above is done the diamond will definitely shines.
I am therefore looking forward to using the touch pro as it comes with 512mb rom and therefore I assume that the free rom storage should be adequate for the user to install a lot of additional programs

Where can one get the updated ROM? I just got my diamond a week ago.. its sluggish at times.. freeze's atleast once every other day.. etc.. I am currently running 1.34.831.1 WWE.
Thank you in advance.
according to the htc helpdesk version 1.37 is not much different from 1.35
it is just a new country rom.

Huh? What's the point of that? Why not just install your user apps to the storage? Besides, installing factory-shipped apps in a user-deletable area is a crazy idea.

This will happen. Why you'd want to waste space installing the optional apps into your precious storage space instead of the spare ROM space intended for that purpose I don't know though...

so you get 256MB (probably actually a lot less, they'll install more) more ROM, and that's better how?
Hallo everyone,I am stuck in a problem for a long time,As you know,X1'ROM is 512 MB,but my device storage space is always about 200 MB though my rom file is usually smaller than 100MB,I thought it should be about 512-100≈400 MB or some Left,I wonder Where does the missing 400-200=200MB space go?and need a way can solve this,THX
Finally I get the reason,Because i use OSBuilder to create Imgfs.bin,and now I use ImgfsFromDump,It is OK now,thanks all the same!
Hmm, I think device memory is slip into 2 sections... 1 is Storage, 1 is Program... Maybe i wrong, but if u should check that in ur X1, Settings---> SD card and Phone Storage.
U will see that there are 2 section for all, Device and SD card, and Device has 2 sections that are Total storage and Total Program.
Hope u understand my English, I'm learning Eng now, so i still practice it
It depends on rom what you are using. The rom file (nbh) is compress so the decompressed size is about 2 times larger. And people usually use the cutomization what starts after rom update. It also uses some space. Just do a hard reset and see how much space is used.
So yes the 200MB is believable.

thanks for your relpy , And Maybe I did'nt describe it well , I mean when I cooked a rom that is 100 MB then they storage space is 200MB , When rom is 80 MB ,the storage is still 200MB , even 60 MB, no space increase or decrease when rom is smaller or bigger,that's the problem
hi everyone,
so i have bought a new MI A2 and after installing the Pie Update the system is taking 11GB!!
anyway to reduce that and why is that ? ain't 11GB is much for android system?
No
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!
