I'm giving this phone serious thought and am curious about internal storage. Can someone tell me how much internal storage is available on first boot before installing anything?

Hello i have a quick question. The motorola atrix 4g advertised that it has a 16 gb internal SD but mine only says 10 gb total available memory. why is this? i know that you never get the full storage when it comes to flash storage like when you buy a 8 gb memory card but only get 7.6 gb usable but why 6 gb missing on the atrix. am i the only one?
That's correct. Of the 16 gig, system files take up a few gig of space. Without the system files, your phone won't work at all.

Please take a look at this list, then add up the sizes of all partitions there. What is the result?
You're right
Atrix is 16GB Emmc.
System partition use 6GB

out of the 16gb (which turns to be 16000Mb -15.6Gb- and not 16384Mb as it should be) about 2Gb goes to data partition, 600mb or so for /system, and the rest is on cache, preinstall, webtop, etc... the remaining capacity is what is exposed to the user as internal sd

oh ok.. thanks for the explanations and link also. it helped me understand. i always thought that the phone had a internal sd and system memory separated.. i didn't know it used part of the internal sd as a system partition too.. thanks again for the explanations..
Hi all..
I just got my nexus 4..
Feels awesome... So fluid...
Came from sg2 so I'm new to noon removable storage space in nexus...
I want to start modding..
Question I have is where in the storage can we store files which we don't want to be wiped once we flash the ROM ?
Since the is no SD card...
And would doing factory reset completely wipe all files from the storage including internal storage?
So where to keep the backup... Music... Etc... I don't want to reload everything after flashing a new ROM while I experiment to find the right one...

keep them in your storage, a factory reset only wipes all the data/caches, it doesnt touch storage.

No, a factory reset does not wipe your internal storage. Just save your files to storage as usual and they will all be stored under 'SD card' > 'internal storage', which is not touched during flashing and factory reset unless u wipe or format the SD card. Also I highly recommend using multiple cloud storage. The ones I use are 'Google music' 'Dropbox', 'Sugar sync', 'Drive' 'Mega' & the new 'Copy'. Definitely try Mega.com, which offers 50 GB of free storage with no file size limits! And the new 'Copy' app, which has an app for android & offers 15gb free plus an extra 5gb for each person u invite! ( here please use my invite code so we can both get an extra 5gb, https://www.copy.com/?r=PHSnzf )

I rooted my S4 16 GB and installed CM 13. After installation it show's 9gb of free space. I wiped everything and still showing occupied 7gb of space. What's the right way to wipe and how I get at least 11+GB.
probably you have to wipe your internal storage to have 11gb

The storage is not one contiguous lump, if you have 16gb it is chopped up into a lot of slices Cache 2gb, system 1gb, tmpfs 900mb, and it goes on.
The /data partition is limited to 9.1gb.
to mess around with these partitions is very dangerous but i have seen it down on other devices, mostly old htc devices.
You can't increase the storage size.
Only the GT-I9500 has the possibility of increasing the actual internal storage space available to the user to 11GB.
Hello |
After installing custom rom , and making a nandroid backup of original rom (without app installed) , I was left with 800 mb
free on the internal memory.
How can i gain more memeory?
To flash again and wipe internal storage as well ?
Thanks.
Your backup is probably taking up significant space, possibly several gigabytes. Look in the TWRP directory and copy the backups off the device and delete them from the device (or better yet, just backup to an SD card). Otherwise to go Settings - Storage and tap Internal Storage and see what is taking up the space, and delete as necessary, pay attention to Cached data space, that can easily grow to several gigabytes as well, tapping that will prompt you delete all app cache data which is generally safe to do.
Will wiping internal storage help? lol... yes, of course it will if your space is used up by files in internal storage.
Thanks
Even after moving backup to external sd. There is only 4 GB free, out of 16 GB. App is about 2 GB .
It seems strange ........

That explain everything.:good:
I just update to 7.0 and I know the SD isn't writable normally I used to use xposed to Fix that but as it's not out for 7.0 yet is there another way besides making it adaptable as internal as it takes a long time to move 128 gigs of data from an SD to format it to work as all internal

You can, but just like the previous version you have to give whatever application you are using explicit access.
