Internal memory usage - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am thinking about getting a nexus7 and these kind of new devices don't have an SD.
Usually the app manager allows me to shift apps to SD. I can also do this with titanium backup at ease.
What happens on no-SD devices? Can I use the 16/32 GB only for music and stuff .. or will app2sd simply shift to this internal ram.

You will not be able to use app2sd to move stuff because there is no SD card. It simply won't work. Also, on a stock 16 GB Nexus 7 you will have ~13GB free because of the system taking up some of the space. RAM is not for storing programs permanently because it is cleared at boot. You can, however, mount a USB flash drive by using a USB OTG cable and the app stickmount. That is the only way to "add" storage to the device.

I think there is a misunderstanding .. the 13 GB should not be cleared at boot .. and this is where I would want to put apps instead of the sd. Would that work?

there is a nand flash chip in the nexus 7. on this chip it contains several Partitons / folders.. One of them is /DATA.. IN there is a symlink folder called SD.. this is where your content will be..
its actually data/ media . but this is to give you a idea of how it works.. Thou there is not a sd card in the device the internal storage (user storage space ) is separated from the the /system folders . There is just no external sd ..
SO I think your questions is DOES IT Have user apps/ media/ music storage space .. YES it does.. its Data/ media partion folder..
Hope this helps . the above is only a example paths are not true but close..
Good Luck . Just buy it.. ger 32 gb if you can ..

Correct. The 13 GB is the device's storage, which is where your data/apps go.

EvanA is correct. N7s simply designate a subdirectory as /sdcard, and that's all that's available for storage on the average unrooted N7. Rooted users can add storage via USB flash drives and memory cards cabled to their N7, but there's only one reasonably easy way to store apps data in true external storage using an N7. That's an app called Directory Bind, for rooted devices.

I think we're getting there but I don't have it yet (feeling dumb). I know I can put music anywhere .. my worries are the apps. I have a desire HD and I am looking at so many apps that memory is full and I have to divert to sd using app2sd. This of course allows me to use much more space for apps than regularly available. I don't need to restore them .. they just work (sd is a bit slower but they work).
How does this work with N7. If it addresses app space to have most of the 32 gig available .. that would be perfect .. then app2sd is definitely not needed.

the app storage space is on the same flash chip as the system and runs at the same fast speed. your apps will run from there as they are installed. Your thinking to much into this..
picture the app storage on the nexus the same as the original storage on your phone.. ONLY MUCH LARGER.. Depending on your phone of course.
32 gb can hold alot of apps . Depending on there data size of course.. Some games like bards tale and horn can consume 2 gb plus data..
Picture a windows computer with 1 hard drive your system is in c/windows folder.. your apps are c/ xxxx c/program files .. but still using the same hard drive . xxx amount of space... Shared .. drive different folders.
There is no need to move nothing.. Well unless you decide to use usb storage.. then well thats a big different. We will skip that for now...

Great .. this is exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks for the heads-up!

get access to internal storage for user data

Hi at all,
I was wondering if there's a way to get access to internal storage memory of my rooted Milestone 2 and put user data into it.
I have 6gb free with a tons of apps intalled and I believe it's a waste of memory
I'm not an android geek, I'm looking to a /etc/fstab to create a new mount point, but android is quite different from a standard linux system...
You can use a Root Explorer app (http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-speedsoftware-rootexplorer-Fiq.aspx)

You can't actually use the internal memory for storage. Its read only. You can access it with root explorer but you can't store pictures or music there. 8 gigs for apps, kind of a waste

You can pretty much store whatever you want there. The gallery app may not recognize it being there, but with root explorer you can put whatever you want on the phone. I suppose you could also use ADB and push things to the phone but, that's you're prerogative.

It's not the same thing I meant
You can put files in root filesystem with rootexplorer, adb or terminal emulator but apps as album, music or video player can't access it.
On win mobile devices with internal storage (es: i900 omnia) system recognizes 2 storage card with rw access, I wondered if we could use in some way the 8gb of internal storage of our D2/M2

i tried to move my picture folder on the internal memory so i could format my sd. my phone froze up and i had to pull the battery after about 10 minutes. when it rebooted the folder i created to hold my pics was gone.
The same here, files and folders placed in internal memory disappear.
I read somewhere that you can put files only on /data folder

[Q] Internal storage space running out

Hello guys, my internal storage is running out of space for no apparent reason, so I downloaded DiskUsage to see what's wrong, screenshot is attached, it shows a segment called system data which is taking up around 4gb of space, I use Omega 10, aren't system files supposed to be sharing part of the 16 gbs available internal memory and that's why only around 9 are free? or did I miss something?
Hey man try using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468596

Did you transfer file from your computer and failed?. if yes.. Go to Setting, More, Storage miscellaneous files find the file that you transfer from your computer and delete.. that will make your storage free saome space..

I don't understand the question, as far as I know I had no file transfer issues, besides the data that was taking up the space wasn't visible anywhere on the device storage, anyway I've solved the issue by formatting the internal storage and re-installing rom, but I would still like to know what caused this to happen, DiskUsage now shows only around 400mb used as system data instead of 4000mb, so it's back to normal I guess.
At what percentage ?
Hi I'd like to know at what percentage of storage do we get the " Storage running out" Notification in a regular Android smartphone ?

increase 16gb harddrive space for roms/emu/android games? whats the best way? (use sd

and is there a guide to do this, is it using the sd?

It did with Doom 3. All 4GB transferred to my SD card.
But YMMV depending on the app of course
I have bought Tales From the Borderlands, which BTW plays really nice with the Nvidia-controller. Whereas the app itself is installed on the microSD-card, the game data it self (e.g. the different seasons - and those are several megabytes) will load internally. That's sad.
Apps to externals HDD
ive been trying to figure out how to move apps from the internal memory to an external HDD i alread used the drive to create a TWRP backup, i can also see the drive in ES file explorer but i cant find any apps or method to move app OBB/DATA to an external HDD there are plenty for apps to SD but i need APP to HDD. can anyone shed some light on this? do you have this kind of thing working?

If you happen to have xposed
Theres a module thats purpose is to "reroute" those internal folder contents to its counterpart on external sd card
Theres no mention of usb harddrive, but those in this situation thats willing to test and find out......
"Change path to internal SD card on OS level! Android Storage API tweaks.
This module changes path to internal SD card.
You can: change path to internal SD which is returned by System API, change path to obb dirs, app files, download dir (you can have everything on SD card!)
Control it in app settings."

Does the apps to SD support in 6.0 move everything? Obb and Data.
Also will it support moving to USB or external HDD?
If not I would say it's still pretty useless to me.

Everything,yes but sd only,not USB.
It mount USB as a external device.
There is no "best way" until we can figure out a way to get the Shield TV to support EXT4 file system.
I installed a custom kernel on my Galaxy Note 10.1 v2014 16GB tablet so I can use my 64GB external micro SD as "internal" storage. It works fairly well. It's not perfect, but it works well.
Once I got my tablet to recognize EXT4 file system, I was able to format my micro SD to EXT4 use a Windows app, there are several.
Then, I used Link2SD to mount the card as "internal storage".
My internal storage has only 10gb free when it's stock with no apps installed. I cleaned out the bloat and managed to recover another 0.4gb.
Using Link2SD, I'm able to install another 11gb of apps and games onto my tablet. My real internal storage now is about 8.82gb free. The rest of the data is stored on the micro SD.
For a lot of apps, it's able to store 100% of the app's data onto the micro SD.....I mean 100%!
BUGS:
Because of the way my tablet mounts the micro SD, if I ever have to reboot my tablet, then I have to reboot it twice. First, I do a "hard" reboot". Second, I do a "soft" reboot. The first reboot mounts the micro SD. But, because Links2SD loads before the micro SD mounts, it doesn't see it. So, I do a "soft" reboot, which only reboots the Android UI. Links2SD has a built-in feature to do this. After the soft reboot, Link2SD sees it. You have to buy the paid version to move 100% of the data to the micro SD but it was only $2-3.
Once in a blue moon, my NOVA launcher acts weird. I just do the process above and it resets it.
Without directory linking, which is how Link2SD works, then there is no BEST WAY to do this because there's no way Android will move 100% of the app to the external storage. Link2SD creates symbolic link on the internal storage, so when you look at the App Manager, it still thinks it's internal and even gives you the option to MOVE TO SD but don't do that! It's already on the SD.
So, bottom line, if you want this to work for our Nvidia Shield TV's, then you need to spread awareness to Nvidia and devs here about EXT4 file system support and hope that someone can port it to our machines!

Set external SD card to default install location [HELP]

Hi, my problem is with the phone of my girlfriend. Now have external 64GB SD, because internal storage is full. I used Android SDK and all the instructions for set default storage for install APP the new SD Card, you know, with the command adb shell pm set-install-location 2. And no error, i try get-install-location and report 2. But googe play only try to install in the internal storage.
I think the problem is with the system of the emulated storaged or something, but i tried many APP, many solutions, and i cant fix this, i search in google and others locations, have 30 tabs in firefox open with information, but i cant found the solution for this

Go back to stock, upgrade to 6.0.1. Then see if this helps-

The article is for S7, but see if you can have that working in the N4 - just have a backup of everything (int SD, ext SD, full backup in recovery).

I tried this in my phone. While the command itself worked after a bit of a tweak, the storage situation was pathetic - the phone showed the External SD as a part of the overall storage, but did not save files to it. Instead, it started saving files to the actual internal SD Card, resulting in space running out pretty soon. The External SD card was just there, and there was no way to migrate the files from the internal storage to the adoptable storage.
I just got a new Note 4 (this is the 3rd one I'm using since the first release in 2014) and I also want to adopt external memory card as my internal space bcos the 16Gg duos version is just too small and app to SD comes with a lot of hassles. After a lot of search for different solutions (which I tried out by the way but didn't work) I came across this thread for another phone entirely but it resolved my issue: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3460478.
The only downside is that I can't pop out my card (128Gg Samsung) and plug into my PC but I can still explore it directly from the phone itself.
I've been using the phone for 3 days and it runs smoothly, I hope that solves your problem too.
So there are two parts to the adoptable storage. The first part is the partitioned SD card and mounting the partition. Simple to be done via root essentials or the command line.
The other part is the actual menu entry on an app in application manager for moving it to the second partition. IIRC samsung does not have this support built in. So you need to flash something to replace that manager bit. In my experience with an on5 (like less than 1GB free on internal storage out of the box), adoptable wasn't really worth it, too much stuff still on internal storage. As not every app will allow you to move it to that second partition. It requires both system support and app support.
What I did there was to use the app apps2sd. Same idea, second partition on SD card. But it doesn't show up in settings -> storage. You manage where the apps go via that app. I use the link feature which places a symbolic link in the internal storage and moves all the actual files to that sd card partition.

I've been using apps2sd fot about a year and it comes with it headache too, sometimes the apps wouldn't find the external data (usually games with a lot of data) and it'll start downloading it again into the internal memory, so I usually find myself having to force stop the app, delink and relink the data on the memory card to fix the bind. I also didn't bother to partition my SD card since I can explore it on the PC with my phone connected. What this solution ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3460478 ) does is to flash back the option to use the SD card as internal memory that Samsung removed from the phones and it works seamlessly on all Samsung phones with rooted stock OS.

Link2SD or similar - SM-G360T

I've spent the last two days looking around online for different ways to use my SD card as internal storage in my phone. I was able to successfully root, but Link2SD, Int2Ext, and other apps have been unsuccessful, always with the same problem. Unable to mount. I've tried partitioning as ext2, 3, and 4, with no luck. USB debugging is enabled, as well as SU access on boot. I've checked every forum I could find (not many) regarding different ways to use an SD card as internal storage, but always get this same error. I've also tried searching for fixes to the "unable to mount" error, with no luck.
I'm feeling really stuck now. I feel like it should be much easier to use external storage this way, especially using android.
Does anyone have any experience/ideas that might help? (Besides buying a new phone.)

Yes. This is quite the problem for this device, as there is not really very much internal space. I tried all the same things that you did when I first got the device too. The problem is that the internal SD is emulated, which confuses apps like Link2SD and makes them think that the emulated internal SD(/storage/emulated/0/), which is an emulated mirror of the actual internal SD(/storage/sdcard0/), is actually the external, so you will get messages like, "No need to move the items as they are the same location." You would need to disable the internal SD emulation in order to ever hope to move your apps and/or system stuff to the external. This was actually done by someone for my last device, the LG L70. This guy made a flashable file that disabled the emulated internal SD, which allowed you to do whatever you wanted with your internal and external space.
http://androidforums.com/threads/di...oid-lollipop-and-partition-table-tool.921136/
In the meantime though, you can try and clear space in other ways. If you have the Xposed Framework installed(recommended), then you can use some Xposed modules to move some stuff to your external SD. More info on installing Xposed here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67909185&postcount=393
Some modules you can try which I use and I can say actually work on this device are:
- Downloads2SD: Allows you to change the default download locations for videos, music, pictures you take or download and other miscellaneous downloads so that they automatically go to the external. Actually does save a lot of space and time.
- Obb on SD: This is handy if you play games that take up a lot of space. It moves the sometimes huge Obb data folder for those to the external.
(NOTE: Both of these will also require you to install and run an app from the Play Store called SDFix by NextApp first.)
You can also flash SlimPickins rom, which is a completely debloated rom that takes up a lot less internal space:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...rom-slimpickins-stock-rooted-bloated-t3250883
For more info on debloating and creating more space on this device you can also check out this old debloating thread I made too here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...oating-sm-g360t1-sm-g360t-easy-guide-t3260136
You can also search the Play Store for light alternatives to your current apps. A great example of one I use now is called "Swipe". It's a super light Facebook app that looks and functions exactly the same, but cuts off about 300mbs+ of the space taken up by the original.
In short though, there is really no other way right now to clear up space on the SM-G360T/SM-G360T1. Hope this helps!

You can also flash SlimPickins rom, which is a completely debloated rom that takes up a lot less internal space:

For more info on debloating and creating more space on this device you can also check out this old debloating thread I made too here:

You can also search the Play Store for light alternatives to your current apps. A great example of one I use now is called "Swipe". It's a super light Facebook app that looks and functions exactly the same, but cuts off about 300mbs+ of the space taken up by the original.
In short though, there is really no other way right now to clear up space on the SM-G360T/SM-G360T1. Hope this helps!

Hi,
I have a Core PrimeSM-G361F with pre-rooted firmware and I am successfully using Link2SD.
Did you format and create two partitions on your internal microSD? I think this is necessary. Check out this tutorial:
