i have spent a few hundred pounds on apps and many are a LOT more than 20mb and some are above 50mb. I am not even talking about games, there are many professional apps which cost bucket loads and are big in size. Have a look around for medical applications and you will see what i mean. I dont mean the ****ty apps on the top seller lists, i mean the real apps medical users buy rather than the **** populating the best seller lists (some of which i have tried too).

I have loads of apps that i have purchased but dont have space on my galaxy note so periodically uninstal and reninstal the apps that i need. I have loads more games and apps for my kid that i have bought but cant keep on my phone for lack of space and hence looking for a seprate tablet for my 3y child for her apps and games and like the nexus 7 but waiting for easy ability for external memory for all her videos, photos etc so that i have space on my phone for my apps.

16gb might be enough for you but certainly not enough for people like me who have already bought hundreds of pounds of apps and not buying frequently now due to limited space for apps, but would buy more if i could have them on my devices. I ran out of space on my note in the first hour of buying it. Not everyone wants to root their device but might have to if there arent better options.

Does anyone know if JB can accept movie file sizes that are larger then 4gb??

If it can that is awesome, if not then its nothing new lol
[Nexus 7 General] Logan_M:
Storage isn't much of a problem for me. My app's should only take up two gigs at the very most, I have about a 1GB on my phone right now, and I won't download many more app's than that.

A few movies shouldn't be a problem either, since I just want DVD quality, and I never fly, and I can switch movies off through bluetooth I'm sure.

I ordered the 8GB.
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
>my bluray rips are 6GB. i'd love for you to tell me how to get 720p quality video down to 1GB.

Resolution is independent of bitrate, which in x264 is CRF. An avg 90min flick at 720p and default CRF 23 will net 1-1.5GB size. On a 7", there is no way you can tell the difference, even at higher CRF (higher CRF = lower bitrate).

I wrote a Win32 script to recode for the Teg2 tabs last year (since Teg2 can't decode high bitrate). It allows changing most settings for x264cli, including CRF. Pretty simple--menu-driven, drag-drop, batch processing.

I bought the N7 mostly for reading. I don't think I'll have problems with storage, however, I don't see the point of excluding a SD slot. Having more memory is always good. Especially for those who like FLAC music and HD Blu-ray movies.
[Nexus 7 General] pumacat311:
I dont post very often but I just had to give my two cents. First of, I have never been so impressed with a device of any kind as I am with the Nexus 7! I have had the first two IPads, Eee pad transformer line,and the Galaxy Tab along with fourth something different Android phones. I was here on XDA where I rooted the G1 and had these discussions over the soon t be released Nexus one(All time favorite phone). From the very beginning I knew Google was going to do amazing things with Android and although a 7" tab with tegra 3 isn't that originally by itself, the Nexus 7 is! The graphics are so incredible amazing they make me speachless. There is not a single bit of lag and every screen moves from one to the next without hesitation, just like butter! It feels solid as a rock and nicer looking all around than any tablet twice the price! And yes, there is one thing that is unfortunate and that's the memory. I have installed 5 games two pinball tables for zen pinball and a few apps and I am already getting low memory warning.. But that would never make me get rid of the tablet or stop me from buying it!
[Nexus 7 General] DagsJT:
Hmm, that's pretty poor. Is that the 16GB version?
[Nexus 7 General] ejkeebler:
WOAH WOAH WOAH, this is ridiculous! I have probably 25 games and 30 or 40 apps installed on my galaxy tab 10.1 16GB and i'm at 12 out of 16GB used and thats with a 500MB camera folder a 1GB titanium backup folder and a 1.5GB nandroid backup folder....and i'm sure there's plenty other wasted space I could find if I wasn't just going to wipe it as soon as I sell it, are you sure you're taking up that much space with 5 games????
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
There are no 16GB Nexus 7's out in the wild yet.

All folks have there hands on yet is the 8GB.
[Nexus 7 General] vshun:
Different poster here but often decent games occupy more than 1G each.

Modern Combat 3 states "** This game requires 1.37 GB of free storage space." but when I was installing it it asked for several G for installation (due to unzipping and other temp files).

Shadowgun requirement is 1Gb, so this not atypical.

To see the disk space picture for existing tablet I deleted all videos/music/photos on 16Gb Asus Transformer, while leaving only apps and it shows 6.5G used on apps. I do not think I will risk ordering 8G and saving $50, especially since Tegra3 will probably have larger graphic packs for games, and maybe will download a few books/music video and 16G may not be that much.
[Nexus 7 General] Eagle1337:
my manga collection takes up 3gb of file size... my book collection takes up a decent chunk too... a 16gb nexus 7 without storage expansion doesn't work. The cloud isn't a viable solution to me due to bandwidth limits, I want to keep my high quality videos High quality, I will be using it a lot without Wi-fi, and I only have Wireless G.
[Nexus 7 General] Vidfreek:
Just pre-ordered the 16 gig model, I currently have a Transformer and have had it for about a year, I have a 16 gig SD card in there but I dont use it for anything, its nice its there sure, but the 16 gigs onboard has been perfect for me and what I do, I have a bunch of games, probably 30 or so, a ton of books and I dont use it for much else. If i do music or movies I'm streaming them from Google Music, Slacker or Pandora and for movies I'm always using Netflix, every where I'm at has really good Wifi (home, work, parents house) and I've never needed much space for things.

in reality I dont need to have 30 games on there either as I dont play them all, I could get rid of half and still have way too much to play :)

It all really depends on what you need and use tablets for, but this is easily the best value out there for the price and I'm perfectly content with the 16 gigs I'm going to get, as I said its been fine for me on the Transformer and I'm happy to take smaller, faster, lighter, thinner and better battery :)
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
A lot of people still have the computer storage tendcies. Thy want to keep all their books movies, music on their tablets at anytime 24/7. After time that need will go away. When I first got my tablet and even got a 32gb card. I do however load content now into Google music, and Google drive(so god damn cheap) and I'm set,

Google might have to cut other features out. I'd imagine if Google made the end all tablet for android. You better believe all other hardware manufacturers might have been upset. Who would honastly buy say an HTC tablet with all the below and whistles when Google has the same thing.
[Nexus 7 General] plambda:
I'm in the camp that won't need a lot of storage - I can stream pretty much all my media, and books won't take up too much space. But clearly if you have a need for local storage of many, many GB of content, this isn't the product for you. And there's nothing wrong with that - plenty of fine products in this market that will suit your needs.
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
Brother, it is so simple. Buy something else then as this product is not for you.

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

Exactly, this is what I want to say to all people who are complaining about it. If 16GB does not good enough for you then obviously this product is not for you. Buy something else.
[Nexus 7 General] bubblesmoney:
Yes... infact just on one day got probably 3 apps that cost about £135... professional apps that wont be useful for regular users. Many apps cost atleast 35£ for professional books or related apps some cost above a hundred quid each.

No i am reasonably happy with the nexus 7. pushed it to its limit to see what it can take. for eg my galaxy note starts ****ting bricks after about 150apps amounting to 1.5gb but the nexus 7 is super smooth with a lot more apps. i tried its limit, it starts creaking after about 9gb of apps and virtually stands still after about 11gb or 530 apps!!! :laugh: was just testing its limits and gradually deleting apps now. for other media have bought a samsung ioptical drive / smart hun that is portable and can wirelessly play dvds or other media from flash drive or hard disk or use the device for backing up data wirelessly. also there is more hope without root via the app http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1819541&page=6 but waiting to buy it when restored for sales again. but happy in the meantime as it beats the **** out of the galaxy note in being able to effortlessly handle many more apps than the note can handle although bough have the same amount of 16gb memory
[Nexus 7 General] meshkaz:
Do you realy need all this stuff. Personallly, I'd prefer to remove to remove a movie after watching it, because I see no use for it anymore. I assume all these hard drives and other storage stuff are not cheap, so I think it is not reasonable to buy all this stuff. :rolleyes:
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
After many flashes and dead batteries I finally figured this out and it was not fun!

Seeing it is a little out of the ordinary I wanted to share my findings for anyone else wanting this mod.

First you need the m10 tools.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060648

You will also need Rosie.apk for the navbar and Idlescreen_Base.apk for the lockscreen shortcut backgrounds depeding on what you are changing. These are in the system/app/ directory of the rom zip.

Open m10 tools, and select Rosie.apk.

Once decompiled, find the Rosie_navbar.m10 file.

Expand the file until you see the options shown in the screenshot below.

On the data circled in red change the opacity from "1" to "0". (you can also change it to any value in-between like 0.5 for half transparent)

Make sure you select the data how it is shown in the screenshot or else other images will disappear!!

Once done with the edits save and m10 tools will repackage Rosie.apk.

Then push the new Rosie.apk to your phone or install via a flashable zip.

This is essentially the same process for the lockscreen shortcut backgrounds.

Open m10 tools again, and select Idlescreen_Base.apk.

Once decompiled, find the Lockscreen_Shortcut.m10 file.

Expand the file until you see the options shown in the screenshot below.

On the data circled in red change the opacity from "1" to "0"

Make sure you select the data how it is shown in the screenshot or else other images will disappear!!

Once done save and m10 tools will repackage the apk.

Then push the new apk to your phone or install via a flashable zip.

With the screen shots this was a real easy mod to apply.
[HTC Rezound] jeb192004:
should this work for any htc phone running sense 3.6? i have an evo 3d running the "cool-ics-v10-evoc" rom and when my phone loads i get a black screen with the notification bar at the top. if i put the stock idlescreen_base.apk back in and leave the modded rosie it loads to the lock screen but when i unlock i get the white screen with the htc logo and thats as far as it goes. if someone could please help i would really like to learn how to do this...
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
did you fix permissions when you replaced the apks?
[HTC Rezound] jeb192004:
No I didn't. Sorry. I'm a complete noob to all this. I honestly don't know how to do that yet...
[HTC Rezound] zhp pilot:
Long press the apk with the file explorer you used, assuming that's what you did. You should see an option for permissions. Make it rw-r--r--. If that's confusing then check the permissions on another apk in the system folder. Just make yours match the existing. If you didn't replace the apk via a file explorer, more info on your method would be helpful.
[HTC Rezound] jeb192004:
After making changes to the apk I saved it to my desktop. Opened the rom I was working with and replaced it there while on my computer. Then reflashed the rom to my phone. Made a copy of the rom first in case it didn't work I could easily go back to the working one... Which is what I'm using now.
[HTC Rezound] zhp pilot:
Oh. Well nevermind the permissions thing then. Doing it that way would have set them correctly.
[HTC Rezound] jeb192004:
Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? I tried your transparent nav bar from here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1814171

But it didn't do anything for me. Once the phone rebooted the nav bar looked the same as before...
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
I have experienced some versions of rosie that are very fussy. After m10 edits i have had to decompile and recompile with apktool (no other edits) just to properly compress the m10
[HTC Rezound] zhp pilot:
That mod only works on the rezound due the updater script. It specifically uses the mount points for the rezound.

The issue may be due tho the fact your are placing a modified apk into the rom zip. The modified one has a broken signature and/or one that doesn't match the other files. When you boot a rom for the first time, the signatures have to match. After the rom boots once, it no longer does sig checks on the system folder. I would suggest placing the modified apk into a flashable zip and flash it after the rom has booted.

Alternatively, you can adb push Rosie.apk to the phone or manually replace the file with a file explorer that has root access.

If it still doesn't work, then the problem is with the apk itself.
[HTC Rezound] jeb192004:
Well...didn't get home till late last night, had to be to work early today, so I didn't really get a chance to try everything. I did try to manually replace the apk using root explorer and after doing that and setting permissions right, pressing the home button did nothing. Pressed back button to back out of root explorer and got to a white screen. And that's it... Tried rebooting my phone, same thing, a white screen... Idk if those other options will work but I'll try when I get home today...
[HTC Rezound] jeb192004:
Got the transparent nav bar working!!! Ended up trying a different Rom and had no problems at all. Thank you everyone for your help.
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
no prob, glad you got it working. The only other thing I was gonna toss out there was if you had signed them but i don't think that m10 tools breaks the signature anyways.

Where and how do i do this for my phone? I have no idea on anything about it lol :(

I was looking to changing my ring tone to Metallica Fuel

LOL thanks guys
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Just copy mp3 files from your computer to your phone. Make a folder on your sd card called music. You can also make a folder called ringtones and copy the files there.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabisco_12:
how exactly would i do this? do i just email it to myself? Sorry im a newb
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
plugging the phone into the computer and dragging them into the SD card?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLostSoulxX:
no offense dude but uhh my grandfather thats 60 can do this and he has a hard time with technology so its kind of crazy that the simple little things you cant do.

On your sd card when plugged into a computer it should give you an already made folder called music to throw it in.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00145:
You can also download frostwire all to download music
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MДЯCЦSДИT:
You can just use the Internet browser to download music that you *own* on file sharing sites (like I said, you must actually own the music for it to be legal, and otherwise, it is considered piracy). You can also just download music off of the play store and buy it again. But this is a really basic phone function... Just plug it in and drag in the music.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabisco_12:
I had used app to modify my current ringtone its called mp3 ringtone, i can download music which i didnt know the app could do it, so is this a legal app? what does this frostwire let me do? the app i have lets me modify it right there after i download it/

now on my phone i hooked it to the computer and sent the file to my phone... i tired to find it. i went into settings and went to ring tones but i didnt c it? how can i get to all the music on my phone and delete some old crap? how can i see whats on the sd card?

then i have a video clip on my phone and i want to take a certain part and make just a notifier ringtone.... how would i do that?

Sorry that your 60 year old grand papa gets it, instead of wasting time and potentially messing up my computer- phone i ask a question. I always operate under the idea that the only stupid question is the one not asked??

but thanks guys
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Yeah ignore him... anything downloading paid things for "free" is illegal.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Its the way you said it... ;) the comment about your grandfather, while most likely unintended, could've been misconstrued as hurtful and was defenitely disrespectful... its like people forget respect when they are typing on the keyboard... next time just say mount sd card and copy... no need for the grandpa comment...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] broad_st_bully:
has anyone had any issues with Goo.Manager not flashing a ROM that you downloaded?

this is the 2nd time it happened to me...

I download the latest AOKP nightly build and gapps through Goo.Manager on my Prime, set them up to flash [through Goo.Manager] and click "flash" then I'm taken to the CWM screen instead of the ROM automatically being flashed...

also, the ROM+gapps I just downloaded through Goo.Manager is not on my Prime...it's nowhere to be found in CWM...something screwy goin' on 'round here...:confused:

just thought I'd ask if anyone else was experiencing the same thing...last time this happened when I tried to flash CM and my Prime ended up in a CWM bootloop...

definitely not trying to go through that again...maybe I'll just delete the app...I'd rather flash it manually anyway...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaxican25:
maybe you have to install the TWRP recovery on your prime through goo manager first instead of cwm recovery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knucklehead_11:
You're downloads will be in the goo folder and not in clockwork.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] broad_st_bully:
yeah I saw that afterwards...but what I can't figure out is the first time I used goo.manager it flashed the rom with no probs...the 2nd got me stuck in a CWM loop and the 3rd nada...nothing at all...just a regular boot to CWM instead of flashing through goo.manager...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I think this is it. you can go directly into TWRP, from goo Manager, without having to power down. goo manager n twrp working fine for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
Goo manager can't work with cwm.... You must install twrp.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knucklehead_11:
If you boot into CWM through goo you will end up in a recovery boot loop which can be a pain to get out of.

And i STILL have serious battery drain... I mean.. It wont even last half a day with not alot of on time as before with GB..

Can you please offer me some suggestions?? thanks.

thanks again..

Im at my witts end for a first time flasher...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] azzledazzle:
Do a full charge and download CPU spy to find out if your phone its entering deep sleep, also check the battery stats for some clues as to what's causing it, finally go to task manger and go to the storage tab and select battery motoring.

This should identify any apps that are hogging battery / CPU.

If nothing its found, perform a full wipe.

Swyped From My Galaxy Note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chickentuna:
A week ago i was having the same issue. It will run at max 8-9hrs. I needed to bring the charger at work for it to last until i get home to do another full charge. I have the same kernel and rom (LPY and speedmod combo). Serious battery drain abt 3-5% per hour doing absolutely nothing.

I did a little research and with the help of betterbatterystats i found out that the culprit is audioout_1 as betterbatterystats reported that audioout_1 wakes the phone from deep sleep.

By any chance do you have keytouch sounds on?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] praetorius:
People here will suggest cpu spy and better battery stats for you to PERSONALLY find what causes your problem.

Installing speedmod will not perform magic in your phone, but its a start in the right path.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jimmbomb:
thanks for the replies gang.

I went to bed at 82% and in airplane mode.\Woke up to 42%.\CPU Spy saus only 2% deep sleep.

I dont have any sounds on. Alll sounds off except to vibrate on screen tap.

Im on the battery monitoring now in task manager.

My next step would be to purchas Bettery Battery Stats to pinpoint the programs preventing from going into deep sleep..

thanks for the answers again, gang.

**Question though***

under Task manager / Storage / Battery Monitor ...

Start monitoring..... then what? What does that do? I small icon shows up on the top status bar.

Then what? What to do after turning on Battery Monitoring? thanks@!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LowDef:
Since we have different apps installed, you need to find out what app or process preventing your phone from going into deep sleep.

It's a pain I know but no other choice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] poope:
And you don't suspect speedmod?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chickentuna:
No. speedmod goes into deep sleep for me without any problems. In his case it's an app that keeps the phone awake
