I have Samsung on5 SM G55OFY
It is rooted, has TwRp.
The stock android is very large in size it almost takes more than the half of my memory
I need any good custom Rom which takes lesser space than the stock one and work flawlessly.

I've been just plain unlocked and rooted for the past couple days, and decided to put my first ROM on my N7 today. I downloaded Glazed Jellybean, and since I was coming from a stock rom, it said to do the wipe/factory reset, which I did. At this point, I had about 4 GB space used, 1.5 gb free. I flashed the rom and it installed, but when I went to check my storage, I still had that 4 GB used, yet of course all of the apps were gone from the ROM install. Does anyone know how to get that storage back? Thanks
Not sure how this happened, but I had ~27GB free until the OTA update to 4.2.2. Clockworkmod correctly detected that SU and it were trying to be replaced, so I still have root. But now I have only 6GB free! Sounds like it might be an issue with what image was applied, but I had no choice in the matter.
Any way to get my space back without flashing a stock image?
Apparently not. Had to download factory image. But at least I have 27GB free again.
Be careful with the OTA upgrade!
i did my upgrade via factory image but got the same issue! now i dont know what to do :/
EDIT: reflashed system image in toolkit and all good. shame i had to lose my data!
This happens even when flashing roms customs.
I identified this problem at the beginning that I had the Nexus 7. It can occur on 8, 16 and 32GB.
I have not found the reason, but must complete a minimum internal storage. If you flash the empty shelf or very stingy, this problem can occur.
I suggest you fill in the data storage, movies, music, etc. and try once again a complete restauration using a toolkit.
It can also work without completing the internal storage but it will then try several.
Why a toolkit? because with fastboot, I never succeeded to get my total storage.
This problem has existed since 4.1.1.
You have been warned for your next flash.
I have basic Android programming skills. Would an application that automatically filled "most" of the disk prior to upgrade, then deleted it post-upgrade, be of any value?
We'd have to define "most" since there's probably some overhead needed to do the upgrade, but my guess if is you take a bit more than the size of the next lowest model (e.g. 9GB of the 16GB model) it's enough to trigger the behavior you say.
Long story short, I cleared userdata and rebooted to a fresh install of android 4.3, and my own files aren't visible anymore. I know they are still there as internal storage reports much less space than 16GB (it reports 6GB to be exact).
Is there any way to recover those files?

Out of curiosity, what ROM were you coming from before attempting to go back to stock. I had the same experience when resetting from ParanoidAndroid. My fix is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47254050&postcount=2
Hello everybody, I am using a GT-I9502, and since December 2013 I was on the custom ROM (Android 4.3) by SVA. A few weeks ago I've updated to 5.0.1 ROM from the same developer. Now I'm experiencing the well-known Android 5 startup issue: when I power on the phone, after Samsung boot animation it says "Android is upgrading, starting apps" and that window is there for about 3-4 seconds. I've already tried all solutions I had found so far:
1. Wipe cache and deodex apps with LuckyPatcher
2. Factory reset
3. Moving apps from external SD to phone memory
The "switch from ART to Dalvik" trick can't be done because of Lollipop (there is no ability to run Dalvik), and in the build. prop file I didn't find the necessary string to disable the optimization.
I also contacted the ROM developer and asked him for some advice. He told me to reflash stock Chinese ROM, do a wipe in stock recovery and then flash SVA ROM again with uninstalling all stock apps I don't use. I did it, had 190 apps optimized after the first boot (as usual) and... after all, that window is there again! By the way, I noticed that when I run the phone on stock Chinese firmware I9502ZNUJOF1 (without the SVA update, it runs smoothly and there aren't any annoying windows like that. But I need the Play Market and a normal Russian localization, so I am forced to use SVA ROM. I have the KitKat version too, but I can't make a downgrade because I9502ZNUJOF1 bootloader doesn't let me to flash one-file firmware (the phone is stuck on boot animation), and I don't even have an idea where I could find the four-file service firmware for 4.4.
Still, I want to keep 5.0.1, but I see that the phone became slower (e.g. the menu with my apps opens for 6-8 seconds after boot!) and the RAM usage increased (I have about 1,45 GB RAM used after boot compared to 1,1 on Android 4.3).
Maybe anybody has some ideas how to get rid of that "optimizing" window and boost up the phone at all?
Hello
I used TWRP to install Magisk on my Samsung Galaxy S8 long time ago.
Now I noticed that when I go to my installed apps and on "Official TWRP" it shows that TWRP is using 35 GB of my phonespace.
And now my question, is that normal? Because it seems pretry big and takes about half of my internal storagespace....
Thanks in advice
By the way, I attatched a screenshot here:
It keeps growing, today it has 36,21 GB
So about 100 MB more then yesterday
Is it making backups of your phone in the background? I don't know what else it could be. Just reinstall the app I guess.
Im worried that uninstalling "TWRP Official App" might break my phone, or is it not related to booting?
As said i have TWRP bootimage on my phone or arw these two seperate things and the "Official App" is just for extras but not importantly used for booting the phone?
SOLVED
I risked it and deleted all data of TWRP Official App and froze it in greenify. Phone still reboots fine and the TWRP app is now only 8 MB.
36 GB space regained and no damage yayyyy
