Stress is not good ally!

With es explorer I found that the xbin folder has the largest size.

When I saw the contents I realized that busy box is the problem, I think...

The media folder is in the 12th row in descending order but the xbin is in the 1st

and app is in the 20th

I don't have video directory at all in there...

So if it's busy box, it's possible to extended the system partition without loss data

or I have to unistall busybox and it's content? :| It will be fix the log storage and the

very annoying notification about the downloaded file what is your advice?

I got an idea just now before post it! First step unistall busybox reboot then install

LuckyPatcher if notification still exist and fix the issue...it's logical? Do you believe that will work?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Zatta:
I don't think removing busybox is such a good idea. Besides that, as I said, 147 MB free should be more than enough! If this LuckyPather thing is supposed to be the solution, why not push the apk to /system/app, set permissions right and reboot. It should be installed by then so you can use it to do its trick. I have to say, I've never used LuckyPatcher, it is also a piracy app and considered to be warezzzzz.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] $0kr@t3$:
I do not know what tosay about piracy and warez applications, here I found it as a solution...

OMG, I thought, that Storage Analyzer will not have differences with the applications that I had, but it has!!!

Thank you so much I appreciate it :victory: :highfive: :fingers-crossed:

A file that takes up a lot of space is thumbnail in dcim...

I have not extinguished yet because uninstall applications and looking for cleaner might be better than the existing

I use history eraser plus and recently sd maid today found the cache mate
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] $0kr@t3$:
Actually nothing changes :(

I cleaned several system files with sd maid also uninstalled apps but continue to occur the following below

1) Some applications can not be updated because there is not enough space as reported by the annoying alarm

2) Furthermore the second annoying alarm continues to displayed on the screen ("filename.txt" The download completed)

3) I didn't install cachmate because has two years to be updated and I think sd maid is enough*

So my friend what can I do to fix above issues? Could you please give me your advices and your suggestions?

I'll be glad to hear them

Problem with latest Cyanogen Snapshot

Hey is anyone else experiencing this? On the latest snapshot, when I run datafix... after I reset the phone to apply changes, my homescreen is totally wiped out an gone :(. Furthermore... even if I put all my icons back, they don't stay on subsequent reboots.

I re-rooted my phone from stock firmware and resinstalled, and this still happens... I installed my apps one at a time and reset to be sure, so i'm pretty sure the issue is with this app.

*Okay, so now I see this is outdated for the current builds. It would be nice it there was some kind of warning, it is so hard to remove this. As far as I know - and I'd like to know a better method - factory reset does not work, and I have to reload the stock firmware, and re-root and load custom firmware and do everything from scratch to fix it :(.

hI All I had a query...will this app work on Kitkat 4.4.2 on galaxy gt-i9000 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tomaquet:
AFAIK, This script solved a problem for android versions older than jellybean. So if you're getting a "low storage notification" it's for something else. So wont do anything for kitkat.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mailppl:
Thanks for clarifying :good:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nereis:
a word of warning

If anyone was wondering if this works on Kitkat, it most likely won't.

I tried installing the init.d script through datafix on Slimkat 4 stable the other day, just some housekeeping not that I really need space, it appears that the script corrupts data when used on kitkat and stuff began force closing upon reboot!

Good thing there's alway an nandroid backup to save the day.

I am sure many of you are aware of kasper_h started developing CM9 again, which uses the fastest but smallest datadata partition layout, and this app will certainly be very useful.

Not sure if anyone uses this anymore, however I'd like to take the time to thank zatta for developing this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Zatta:
Hi [MENTION=4742835]nereis[/MENTION], good to see you around!

You are right, this is of no use for anything newer than ics.

Google allows to set a minimum android version in the play store for apps, unluckily not a maximum :o

and HOW can i solve the Data problem under cm11 / mackay / slimkat ?

all apps run good but simpson app update till 298mb than the app crashes =(

greets
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Zatta:
Just upgrade your hardware... really, I don't know how else. Sorry.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Zatta:
Because apps on SD still use /datadata for their data :)

Hmm, well, to be honest, if project Butter (and VSync with it) can compensate for that later on the road it is better than the /datadata partition because after all, the script and now the app are more a workaround than a solution. Now we can clear our caches and data we still have a problem: when we delete an app some data will remain in /datadata....

But ofcourse I personally am a little bit disapointed as creating the app took one and a half month of development, not to mention the time Wendigogo spent developing the script. This change is one of the reasons I decided to release the app now instead of adding more functions to it.

Very nice work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rebel2k:
I updated to the new market version (0.9.2) today, but now, in the apps, all the space used by apps are shown as "0b" (when I go in details I can see that's not true) and I have no blue bars anymore showing the space used by an app. Is that normal? Must I uninstall or remove data and restart it? Is this already a "known issue"? If not, tell me what I can do to help you figuring out why it's behaving this way and fix it! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bejda:
Wich rom are you on Rebel2k?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Zatta:
Uhh, don't know. How about clearing the apps data from within the, then restart the app? Maybe fc the app by longpress? That part of the app hasn't been changed with the update so I'm just guessing.

If that doesn't do the trick, can you sent me screenshots of the shout your phone tab from the prefs? Otherwise I could email a version with all debugging enabled? Needs sending your email address to zatta.xda@gmail.com

Oh, I just checked the market statistics, can it be that you are one of the two people using it on Jellybean?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rebel2k:
Sorry, forgot to tell that: I'm using SlimRom 4.2 with Semaphore 1.2.6s kernel.

I'm gonna try that. As said before, no, I'm not on JellyBean, SlimRom (CM9 based as you know ;)).

EDIT: Just tried to clear everything (data+cache) of the app directly within the app and it did nothing (apparently). I went then in the details of the app (in the system settings) and there I cleant everything, but that doesn't help either. I'll send you by e-mail screenshots you requested! :) (and I'm ok to try your debug version of course!)

EDIT 2: E-mail sent to the given address with screenshots and misc information.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] toddmworth:
I'm on Slim 4.2 with Semaphore 1.2.6s also Rebel2k, but I don't have that issue. I can see Better Terminal Emulator Pro using 100MB at the top of the list for example...

Sorry, I hate those 'works for me' posts, but I want to be informative.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Silentbob999:
The Devils JB rc4 kernel give hope for your application, work with the quoted rom (DerTeufel said he stop the project at v2, 1 update already so we can hope :-P ) , slimbean and most of the "oldest" early JB rom. (read like 3k post recently so I may mistake, but last news seems like it)

I think it's more than possible that a "slim" system will be able to keep /datadata on jellybean. Even if the official cyanogen abandoned it.

And maybe I mistake but can't the script automatically move and symlink /data/data in a situation like the one quoted. (eg. Flash Slimbean + devil after coming from alpha cm10 without wipe of data)?

Forgive me if I said a stupidity as it is late and I don't even try jellybean yet, I just read all the thread/post about it.

Yes thank you for that. I worked with Zatta on that yesterday and we identified a small bug which caused this behavior on my phone. That's a very rare case but that could happen as I noticed it. Zatta found the reason of it and might release a fic in a couple of days (or maybe not as it is really rare).

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Zatta:
Thanks to a flaw on Rebels phone a bug came to the light, next update well have a fix for this rare occasion.

No, the script in this app is Wendigogo's script. We worked together for this app to be exact. This is made to have more control over it and keep an eye on your data as it is not very well maintained by itself.

I tried to change rom, but I forgot that in my previous rom I've installed datafix app. So alla my backup ****ed up! When I try to restore data from titanium backup, app force close. Is there something I can try to restore my old backup? (I know it's my fault, cause datafix alerted me to change symlynk setting in titbackup...)

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Zatta:
No, that part is hard coded (constructed during finding all the info needed for the app) so it can't be translated, sorry. I even planned on leaving that screen out off the app as it is was mostly used to easily do some debugging during development.

Because you didn't check that setting in tb the needed data is not backupped. You could do a factory reset and restore apps only with tb, that should work.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Wendigogo:
I saw that CM team will remove /datadata partition cause JB is bigger than ICS and need more room for /system (and /efs and /cache and /radio).

If other roms based on JB are build I think they'll also need some more free space for /system too.

Then there will be some possibilities :

If they use the mtd partitionning of CM team the "datafix" could consists of adding a directory like /system/datadata but I don't like mixing users data on /system partition. And if there's few space left you couldn't install many apps (no interest)

If they use the "old" ICS mtd partitioning : /datadata partition will still be their and the datafix compatible but the /system partition may be short for JB ...

If they use their own partitioning : the best solution to adapt space needed for each partition and left maximum mtd free space for /datadata (no datafix needed here !). Unfortunately this make roms incompatibles and reformating all mtd is needed to switch from one to another.

Is stuff like LVM available in Android ? That could be a solution for us to manage mtd easily and commonly between different roms ... I find some stuff on github here : https://github.com/steven676/android-lvm-mod :confused:

For the support of datafix in JB, I'll wait a moment that all stuff will be definitive (partitioning etc.) on roms. But it will can add a symlink between /data/data and a /datadata partition/directory for sure ! :D

EDIT : mtd partitioning is done here : http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/19223/1/drivers/mtd/onenand/samsung_gsm.h. It seems not so hard to adjust elements size to a rom ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Wesleylau:
Hi All

I moved most of the apps to data/data and I have 140mb (82%) free space. But why I still have "out of space" error when I want to install a apk which is about 19mb only, cheers for help.

Edited: Didn't have this problem before the datafix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Wendigogo:
I think it's not in /datadata which are out a free space but /data partition.

You don't have any reason to have so much space left on /datadata : 30MB is far enough. Remember that the more apps data you have in /datadata smoother your phone is !

Please pull back you apps data (excluding at least GMail and Download manager cache) in /datadata and retry installing the app.

But having you /data fulfilled is really strange ... There's currently around 1Go of free space here ! :confused:

Could you please execute "du -sh /data/*" in a terminal emulator as root (or via adb) and post the result please ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Silentbob999:
Check also sdcard, can be full because of the nandroid ;-) if you did a backup

Thanks for a great app, it really is just what I was looking for, helped me easily sort out my datadata.

However, as someone commented here, I'm also having problems with the blue bars and the sizes of apps not showing in the list, and sorting seems to be completely haywire. Doesn't matter what I select in sort order, always seems to do as it wants. I've tried deleting the Datafix app data nut no difference.

I'm running Slim ICS 4.2 with Semaphore ICS 1.2.6s
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bejda:
It could be almost full /system too that doesn't allows to install more apps,even "data apps" from market.

By the way I'm using datafix app at the moment on JB CM10 sources based Devil rom v4 that keeps datadata partition by symlinking some system stuffs, don't know if the concept will go on without issues or limitations but i'm happy for now :)

No problems with datafix nor the app,I had one time the issue reported above of the app showing nothing but i just relaunch the app (not even kill it) and it solves it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Vertron:
Will installing a new kernel effect/break the datafix in anyway?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Wendigogo:
It will probably remove the datafix script in /system/etc/init.d. but datafix is still applied.

And when you'll run the app again it will propose you to install the script.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Wesleylau:
Hi Wendigogo that is the result, it seem to happen after I flash another CM9 nightly

Also thanks for the help of the other, hope it can be fixed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Zatta:
It looks like you have the same problem like Rebel2K has had on his phone. Could you try (in a terminal or adb shell):

su
du -sL /datadata/*|sort -n | awk -F "/" '{ print $3, $1 }'

it will give an output that starts with something like this:

du: /datadata/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/qtf2lyxr.default/lock: No such file or directory

please make sure the whole directory /datadata/org.mozilla.firefox disappears (or whatever other app has this problem with corrupted data)

The problem is on one hand this piece of corrupted data on your phone. And ofcourse the app that doesn't take that sort of information into account. Hopefully I can make a fix for that somewhere next week.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jchallett:
Yes, it was just that, problem solved, thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mcmanuf:
As I understand it this app should work for CM7 and CM9:

"The script is only applicable for the Samsung Galaxy S and all its variants (Vibrant, Captivate etc) as long as you are running a ROM that originates from CM7, 9 & AOKP (and has this /datadata partition)." - taken from Google Play.

But I cannot find the app in play store when accesing from CM7, only when I have installed CM9?

Can you change this, or maybe provide the APK file in this forum?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Zatta:
Sorry, my mistake. The script works for 7, the app however doesn't. It is made out of API 15, ICS only. Sorry again.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Zatta:
hmm, nasty. I can't image it has to do with the app, maybe with the script.

Maybe you could have a look at all partitions with the app "disc usage", I remember someone who had his /datadata files with a green block "systemdata" or something like that.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] senotrius:

datascript fail for me:(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Silentbob999:
Yeah this I had that, eg had a stable 24mb free, always, probably maintain by a cache cleaning function of the rom. Ran the script, all applications that a lot less of space, but that weird system data was now taking 50mb instead of 5mb and the free space was 10mb. This was at the moment I tried this app. I had something similar (worse) while on cm9 and using one of the older test script. It's a really weird issue, never find out how to reduce it except by full wipe.

To explain it simple, that "systemdata" is not reported by "DU", but "DF" report the real free space assuming the presence of that mysterious data.

The datafix app report the DF value. So if you have free space there then it's not your culprit. Check all partitions. Maybe paste the results from terminal here :

su

df

That will list out ALL partitions, then we can all take a look.

Edit : a screen shot like this will be perfect

Hi, now I understand better ;)

Would it not be possible for you to change the targetSDK(or minSDK cant remember) version in eclipse to API level 10?

I cannot see anything in the app that requires anything from the higher api level, and thereby you can also support CM7, as the script does :good:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Silentbob999:
Hum, no, nothing near full.

Did you restart once after the datafix (i mean a second time), Maybe the system need it.

It is possible to rewrite the app to the fragment support thing, but I'm not going to do that. The whole app is build in fragments, every dialog is in fact a fragment with it's own logic.

Now we are at the verge of JellyBean I'm not going to support an ancient api, it is hobby for me, learning new concepts is way more fun than using the stuff I already know you see (this is the main reason why we get the notifications on newly installed apps. Not because it is useful, just because it is fun).

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bejda:
I think there is nothing related to datafix in your issue Senotrius,rather with /mnt/asec but i don't know much about this.

Game with big data goes into that directory (tmpfs mount point?to ext sd?) after install via package installer,it's sometimes the same directory they goes when moved to sd i guess.

We can see in your screenshot that df command shows nothing used in it (0k used,total size=free space) but there IS some folders we can see below (mostly games).

You can see them via root explorer (data's in /mnt/asec/apkfolder and in /mnt/secure/asec you'll see the apk with .asec extension).

Disk usage shows nothing in /mnt/asec but find the .asec apk in /mnt/secure/asec,it says the total size is equal to the .asec file that is there (suggesting it's dynamic?)

I can't say more unfortunately,think i've seen this invisible mount point to sd can be increased by repartitionning sd card or something (google search /mnt/asec talks a lot about this) but maybe you could desinstall apks you see that are installed here and you're not using at the moment if you prefer to install your new one,at least i'd try that to know more...

Not directly related but interesting link i've found while searching that could explain too why those apk doesn't stay after reboot if installed as data/apps:
