[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TallSkinnyDude:
Low on /system space

Hi, Timduru!

Firstly, I want to express my huge gratitude and appreciation of your 5.1.0_r1 #21 rom :good:

I'm currently 1 week into heavy use of it.

[IRRELEVANT BLABBER] My previous ROM was RaymanFX 4.x (JB) , so this is a very noticeable upgrade. I neglected this TF101 for the last couple of years, mostly because that firmware was too buggy and I didn't see good alternatives for quite a while and eventually got tired of re-flashing all kinds of ROMs (it's been a long way since stock HC, all those Revolvers and Megatrons, ugh). Out of pure boredom I even made this puppy dual-bootable into Ubunu Linux, the old-fashioned way, by reformatting entirely, which resized my /data partition (so now I have 21Gb of int. storage instead of around 32Gb). Special bootloader that let me boot into Linux is gone now since I flashed latest TWRP in /recovery to install your ROM, heheh. Oh well, that 12.04 wasn't all that perfect either, even with its partial dock suppot and all such, good riddance... Although I'll have to think sometime how to get my data storage back to full capacity under Android... Nevermind. [/IRRELEVANT BLABBER]

So far I've run into two issues on your ROM, one of which I can bear with. There's no stutter-less Youtube 720p playback for me, whatever I do. I tried latest Youtube app, 5.x, even 4.x modded, sound always plays perfectly, while the image freezes/stutters. Everything is fine with 480p, so I guess I'll have to stick with that. Oh, I also tried to improve things by OCing to 1.4GHz, changed governor to SmartassV2 and i/o scheduler to BFQ, which didn't help much with Youtube problem, but of course made my tablet faster overall. But today I ran into a more serious problem - I'm suddenly out of space on /system, notification says make sure you have 250Mb free and restart, LOL. Also tablet now reboots for too long and not the way it used to - it shows me boot animation, then after 3-4 minutes asks for a graphical key (I used encryption feature in security options, maybe I shouldn't have? I chose it on day 1 and everything worked fine since... until today) then it shows me boot animation again for 5-6 another minutes, then it optimizes applications (89 of them IIRC) which may take from 1 to 5 minutes, then there's the lockscreen and I finally can start the system by drawing my graphical key. I think boot times could be faster if I had more free space on /system, that's somehow connected.

Also it's worth noting that I FORMATTED before flashing your rom(didn't simply wipe), flashed the ROM, SuperSU, G-apps, flashed your optional Google Launcher .zip, booted into Android and although Google offered to restore settings/apps from my account, I started as a new device, then installed K.A.T. App, Google Play, Youtube, Gmail etc... Now I'm on stock Lollipop Launcher, I don't use Launher3 and I'm starting to think that maybe all this built-in GoogleNow stuff is eating up too much space? So my question is: how do I free up some space on /system now, I don't want to re-flash from the start :eek: I'm starting to think about some App2SD/Link2D sort of thing for my system apps if that's possible
