I think 4 gb is system reserved.Its required for rom to work

Ur phone is having 8gb Internal memory, but only 4 gb available for Apps & Data. Remaining 4gb is reserved by system.

Please can you explain why There must be an extra 4 Gigs on a phone for the the system to work? Is this extra 4Gig occupied at every time or anytime?

See relating our Grand It has 8GB storage out of which 4Gb is system reserved and 4Gb is User Accessible. the 4Gb System memory will be hidden and will be used only for system purpose and it will occupied everytime that is 4Gb is alloted only to System u cant do anything to it. It has ROM , Recovery and other partitions which are vital to your phone. This can be seen when you Root your mobile. but don't touch that unless ur familiar what your doing or can create havok particularly efs.img were IMEI is stored. So don't access or modify it without knowledge of what you are doing...

CM11 based on 4.4.4 is great...but I dont think that the 4GB of missing memory is actually used by the system. I googled about it and many people have been complaining about missing internal memory on CM11 so I guess its a CMish problem..

[Q] Internal Storage Size 19505

Hello
I've recently flashed [Rom]Google Edition galaxy S4 rom for i9505 [27 June] [Pure Nexus Experience] onto my S4. After following all the instructions it's working fine. Except the internal storage size is still 9.25GB with 8.18GB allocated. I would have thought that removing the stock ROM would have freed the internal storage space?
Cheers.

I think you answered your own question, "allocated" means "reserved" so in other words even if you
did not have any rom flashed/installed at all the phone would still allocate/reserve the 8.18GB space
which cannot be used for normal storage.
Good luck!
Thanks for your reply. It's a bit of a bummer though, is there no way to release the total storage size of the phones internal memory for user allocation ? Would it be something the developers could work on. But then I guess it comes back to the old saying, just get an SD Card.

I doubt that any of the devs could increase the user usable space on the internal sdcard.
But even if they increased it by 1GB or 2GB no one including you would be satisfied with
that for more than a few minutes anyway.
The external sdcards are really not that expensive and spending $20-30 bucks on
32GB sdcard for a device which cost over $650 is not that big of a deal.
I would think the actual GS4GE has a different pit file.
actually i thought it would free up internal storage after flashing cm10.1...
I already flashed and indeed its still the same space as TW.. puzzling..

People have answered this many times. The size of storage you get will not increase unless Samsung changes the partition size.
repartition
isn't possible to re-partition. I am sure samsung had a good reason to book 6 GB for OS. but stock edition will not need all this space! i would say maybe not more than 3.
so cant we repartition the reserved to achieve usuable of 13GB?

Yes you can but its very risky. See below
Skipjacks said:
In order to partition that internal memory you have to wipe it. And that means everything. System, recovery, download mode, boot loader, everything.
The connection with Odin or adb at this point would be totally housed in RAM. It would need to maintain that connection in order to complete the task of adding the new partition, adding the download mode back, adding recovery, and finally the ROM itself.
If the phone lost its connection during that process or lost power or the update process got pushed out of ram for any reason the phone would be hard bricked as there would be no way to reestablish communication with it to restart the process. You couldn't power it on or boot it to anything. It would be a $600 paper weight.
Meanwhile the alternative option is to just go buy an $8 external 16gb SD card or a $20 external 32gb SD card. That carries no risk whatsoever and expands your phone's storage well beyond the original 9gb of usable space you started with.

thanks for the info. but i dont see why i would lost power during the process or anything like that. is it the same risk as flashing a rom via odin?
Is this why I am only able to use about three gigs of my internal storage space? I see 3 or so are partitioned off for the ROM (See second attachment from within TiB), then I have 10 gigs, but 7 are full of something I can't locate - either from within my phone or through my computer (See first attachment from within ES File Explorer).
I've got to assume this is just something going on with my phone. I think everyone would be pretty upset if their 16 gig phone only gave them 3 gigs...
I wish we had something like DTa2SD for the S4! That would be great...

When everything goes well you are right, you will probably reflash the partition 1000 times without having any issues... the problem is if you were to be unlucky
No the risk is not the same as flashing a rom. If the process of flashing a rom is interrupted you just wouldn't be able to reboot your phone normally but you could always reboot in recovery or download mode to retry flashing the rom.

No you should have 8/9 Gb free on your Internal SD. The space you lose are the 2.19Gb in the system partition, but you have definitely something that is occupying your Internal SD.
Well crap. Any idea how to get rid of whatever it is? I can't get my phone to go into mass transfer mode at all (even with the SG USB Mass Transfer app) so the only thing I can do is browse on my phone through file explorers and nothing can see it.

[Q] Note 3 Miscellaneous Files taking up 29GB - rooted Jelly Beans Rom

Hello,
I've done a big search to solve this issue, but none that helped. I just bought a Note 3 32GB version Verizon, and I rooted it immediately and added Jelly Beans Build 4. I've barely put anything into internal memory. I look at the Storage and it says I have 29GB used up as Miscellaneous Files. (To which I clicked on and it at most lists 50mb of miscellaneous files) I then used DiskUsage and scanned and saw that my internal SD card only has 2493 MB of storage total. There's some type of issue with it that doesn't allow me to use up all of my 32 GB of internal memory. Could it be the root or rom preventing it?
How do I fix this?
Now that I think about it deeper. I did use Safestrap to root it and I had to create my own partition. Could it be the fact that I just created the partition with the default settings (as in the amount of memory used)? Should I have raised this to 32gb? I think Default was 2.5GB.
To further try to solve this issue, is there a way to increase the amount of data allocated to this partition? Or is there a way to copy everything in this partition to a new one that I would create at 32GB? I would rather not have to restart and redownload everything again, etc.

Your problem seems to be that you need to read a little more - you are not in the correct forum, this is NOT the Verizon Note 3 forum!
Oh I'm sorry, I Thought this was a general Note 3 forum. And I thought this would be a general Note 3 issue, but I guess it seems to be a rooted and ROM issue.
Your search failed you. Put the rom in the stock slot and your memory readings will be correct. Otherwise, ignore them.

Safestrap does not show your free space correctly, it has to do with the way Safestrap creates its partitions. If you use a file browser or switch to your stock ROM you will be able to see the correct amount of space. If you want to maximize your free space and if you want everything to show correctly the only way to do it is to flash the ROM to your STOCK slot. There have been numerous posts about this and I advise you search a little more. Anyways, it isn't anything abnormal and it's perfectly fine. Not something to worry about.

[Q] Increasing Application Space on Micromax Canvas 2 Color A120 (8 GB ROM)

Hello,
Couple of days back I have bought Micromax Canvas 2 Colors A120 with 8 GB ROM. It runs on 1.3 GHz MT6582 Quad Core Processor, 1GB RAM and runs on Android v4.4.2 (KitKat) OS. The ROM is 8GB (as compared to 4GB in the earlier versions of the same phone).
However, in this excellent phone the application space is still limited to 0.98 GB.
I rooted this phone successfully yesterday and installed busybox. The
/[email protected] is mounted on /system.
/[email protected] is mounted in /data
/[email protected] is mounted on /cache
I am not sure of this but I believe that the I can expand the partition size of /[email protected], /[email protected] and /[email protected] onto the 8 GB ROM in some appropriate ratios. I already have a 32GB class 10 micro SD card attached so do not need the 8GB ROM for any other storage and if possible utlize this entirely in such a manner so that the entire ROM can be used for applications/data/cache/custom user file i.e if i choose to copy there.
Is there any way I can do that repartitioning on the filesystem (or dynamically expand the filesystems).
Please note I have already tried the Mt657xRepartition_EN.apk given at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37974360. It did not help.

Thanks for response Biswajyoti. I will try that. My A120 is with 8GB ROM, so I hope your 4GB ROM solution works with this. However, if you don't mind, I would like to understand a bit more here about how this re-arranging of space is being done. If you can give me some background on the working of the tool, it will be great.
Also, I understand there is a risk factor involved, but can I ask if the already installed apps/data will be affected in anyway. Basically if all goes well, do I need to reinstall any of the already installed stuff. All the apps which can be moved to SD card have been moved to the 32Gb external SD card and not the internal SD card. However, majority of the apps like facebook, what's app etc are installed on the system/app area.
No need to reinstall apps but you should make a backup of your internal storage before doing anything with your phone

Internal storage is now 4.08GB and Phone storage is increased to 2.07GB.
tri mpriopartition utility only if its 4gb version

24BG instead of 32

On my redmy 4 prime on settings>storage I see only 24 GB tots instead of 32. I've even tried to wipe all stuffs from twrp but nothing changes. How can I fix it? I'm on LOS13
The remaining 8GB is used for system/os data. A phone with 32GB/64GB/128GB or any size of ROM storage doesn't mean that you can access all of its storage size for your own data without any deducted space for system. Same goes for PC as well.
Yes, I already know that, but 8GB even if the rom I downloaded is only 450MB? And system applications use up the 24GB
Oh silly boy.
Yes. That's TOTALLY NORMAL. Enjoy your phone.
OK :/ thank you

An Android ROM is 450/500 MB right, but a Custom ROM haven't all files Inside, some files are only on your smartphone.
