Yes, you can install apps on the phone's internal memory, although it has a very limited amount. If you install too many apps, you will find that you might be missing messages as the "Sync Manager" does not have enough room to sync and download your text messages from the server.
As for update.zip, I don't believe so, because when you flash a new custom ROM, what would happen to your update.zip? I'd think it would get wiped as well. Then you're stuck.
Ok ty i realize update.zip would take way too much memory. How bout going from 2.0 to 2.1 is that possible on its memory? Just until i get an sd card. I was told this is wiped clean back to factory i guess running 2.0. When i get my phone should there be a update avail when i turn it on if its still 2.0?
It should be on 2.1 already out of the box, unless they bought it when it was released and then it was not upgraded at all, highly unlikely.
I got this off of ebay so i was told its factory but the girl sold it cause hairline crack also slider a little rough other than that she said it scrolls flawlessly. She said its factory so i imagine 2.0. Would there be an update i can look for from motorola even if it has not been activated? Under system tools or update?
Yeah, there should be an update available.
Last night i did the deencrypt mod, cf auto root, and flashed twrp. I have only 23 gb available(at least 2gb missing) and Im confused out the box I swear i had near 26. I know that twrp and root dont take up that much space. Is the userdata.img taking up that much storage? I already reset to factory to see if that would clear anything. Is anyone else having this issue?
Can't offer any suggestions, but wanted to confirm that even after removing encryption I still have 26GB available.
After resetting back to factory default, does it still show up as only 23GB?

if you bought your phone from at&t, its probably the crap in the oem partition
It is a at&t phone but I deleted all the crap out the oem partition. Even the at&t still has 25 gigs with apps installed.
Did you make a backup prior to dencrypting? Might explain it...?
No I haven't. I will just reflash the stock image and try again.
This happened to me yesterday. I have the 64gb version and after trying to decrypt I was down to 23gb. I flashed the firmware, and then relocked the bootloader, and my space was back. Fair warning after relocking your boot up time will take forever.
This happened to me yesterday night too. I have the N6 64gb and after:
- unlock bootloader
- decrypt
- cf root
I was down to 23gb. What I should do now?? I don't care about data but what I have to do, will I lose root acces and decrytion??
Any Tutorial? I'm not that smart ;]
Happened on the Nexus 5 sometimes. Here's an article of how to fix that phone. Maybe the steps are similar.

Ok but do you think I can use a Tool Kit 1.9.9 ?
porn does take up a lot of space even if you have it in a zip folder labeled "Disney movies"

u know from experience..
I didn't decrypt my phone, but after flashing a stock image I did only have about 23 gb of space showing on my 64 gb phone. I had to do a factory reset to restore the missing space. Note this is a reset from the phone's settings menu (Settings > Backup & Reset > Factory data reset). It takes a while, and obviously deletes all the data on the phone.
Yep, Factory reset from settings - This way solve my problem, :good:
Do a factory reset. That will solve your problem.
My total space is 25.98gb on the 32gb model my phone is decrypted and rooted. I got it from US Cellular. No problems here besides apps like Facebook taking up several hindered megabytes....

Just use fast boot to format user cache and see if that works. This happened to me 3-4 tens gene restoring my phone and its an easy fix. There is no need to relock your BL. There is also another OP I made a whole ago when this happened it me which could have answered your question much faster.
Help guys....
I rooted my T-Mobile HTC m7 the other day and soft bricked my phone, followed xda forum posts to recover and flash a new rom, but now my storage nomally 32gb shows at least 8 gbs used already, and on my pc shows that i only have 25gb! Definately noob mistake, somewhere in installing xposed and getting the soft brick, I still cant figure out how to rid that darn partition! Anyways thanks.

The /system partition (the OS) and other firmware partitions (i.e /hboot, /boot, /recovery, /radio, /pg1(2)fs, /misc, /modem, etc etc... ) are taking about 8gb of space on your 32Gb emmc which will give the /data partition (the memory left for the user) about 25gb of space.
If you find a way to get more than 25gb, you'll be deleting some crucial partitions and your phone will not boot, so its not really advised
For your softbirck problem, did you tried to flash the xposed-uninstaller zip to disable Xposed? If your problem was caused by Xposed, disabling it with this zip should fix your problem, first thing you want to try before flashing something else. In the worst case you'll have to reflash your rom (stock or custom).

see note 1
Marshmallow allows us to "use SD Card as internal storage",
should i do that,
or should i rely on Link2SD to link most app's data to sd? (rooted)
my sd is SanDisk Extreme PLUS 128 GB microSDXC (16 GB internal storage)
thanks for any suggestion in advance
You mean the adoptable storage feature right?
Depends, because if you do that, the sd card is ONLY usable with your mobile device and will not work if you put it in another device, because it's encrypted. If you use ur SD Card mainly for your mobile phone and nothing else, and have no problems with the missing "normal SD card" feature, go for it.

thanks you for help
yea i mean the adoptable storage feature.
would that cause a slower performance?
i'm pretty sure my sd card is only for my phone & no plan to buy a new phone for at least a year.
but i'm a little bit worry if i brick my phone i would then lose everything in the sd card

When I had the chance to use it, I did not notice any change in performance, and if there are, they weren't noticable at all.
Was kinda awesome not to worry about moving data to SD, as everything "is one" now (sounds like I'm a poet )
I'm pretty sure that normally, you can't brick your device when enabling Adopt. Storage. What ROM are you running on right now?

haha poet XD
ah i don't mean brick during enabling adopt storage.
its just i have habit of messing with my phone lol,
i had bricked all my 3 phones,
Xperia M (trying to make SD into internal storage on Kitkat but it went wrong),
E4g (allowed stock update on rooted phone),
& Z3c (wrong step in flashing rom, recoverable but water damage while i cooled it down in water, repaired by sony).
i'm currently using Wajk's discontinued 6.0.1 SLiMM ROM, which ROM do you use?

IIRC you can't use adoptable storage in slimm but I might be a bit outdated.
I'm using aoxp right now and I'm pretty happy with it right now ^^

the newest version of slimm gave me option of adoptable storage, not yet sure if it actually works or not.
i haven't got time to try out other ROMs, using slimm mainly because its claimed to have camera software from xperia X.
not sure if i would stick with slimm in the future since development is discontinued
does aoxp have camera bonus or other bonus? (i've heard its the good at battery though)
Hello dear community, I hope someone can help me. I probably made a big mistake when I unlocked the boot loader on my moto G2. I suspect that all my apps and data are gone now? After unlocking and restarting the phone, I noticed that the startup process was not as usual. I then switched off the phone directly. Are my apps and data really gone now?

Yes. Unlocking the device will wipe everything except external SD.
It's basically like a factory reset.

Thanks for your reply Wolfcity, although it is very painful. Are there any tools with which a rescue would be possible, such as Testdisk, PhotoRec, Foremost, Scalpel, ...?
The Smatphone is actually equipped with a memory card (SAMSUNG Evo Plus, 64 GB, Micro-SDXC). I would be very grateful for suggestions on data recovery.
In case it is still important that Motorola has Android 6.0 Marshmallow and the memory card is formatted as internal memory.

As you're not rooted there are very few apps that can backup your stuff like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupPro
There are ways to do it with ADB commands, just google it.
As you said you restarted your device after the unlocking procedure there won't be anything to save....
About your SD card formatted as internal storage: I never did that but I would think that data stored there will be erased too.
