[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davesunday:
I am missing roughly 3 to 4GB of space on my internal storage. Long story short -- flashed cm11.0_golden.nova.20141127.ODIN_TWRP the first couple of tries it failed mainly due to me not knowing how to enter into recovery mode. After about 4 or 5 tries I figured it out and all was well. Then I notice a large chunk of my internal storage is missing. I enter recovery mode and format all internal storage. I gain a few hundred MB. I cannot see those missing GB of space at all. My best guess is that those first few unsuccessful attempts at flashing the rom are still there in the internal storage taking the space I am missing. Is there any way to repartition the internal storage? I have used all of the methods available to me with TWRP and have had no success in gaining that storage back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Guessing you have S3 mini soo i have same "issue" it's actually the phone itself takes around 3-4 GB i have usable 4.64 gb and i have 8GB model.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davesunday:
So is this just the normal amount of space taken up by the system? And yes mine is an 8GB model also.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prototype74:
Yes guys it's normal if you have 4GB.

4GB for system and 4GB for user ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davesunday:
When i look at how much storage total it lists 4.72GB. For available space it shows 4.27GB. Will the 4GB taken up by the system not be shown? I just figured that it would list close to 8GB total with X amount taken by system. Im pretty sure this is how it was before I flashed the phone.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoLogY:
Could it be the missing 4GB is the partition of the system? I am using stock ROM also can only access about 4GB for saving files and apps. Maybe the CM11 itself using 4GB for OS process and pre-installed/bloatware apps? Just my guest.

You can try to reach the missing space using 3rd party apps such as XDA File Manager. BUT, I wont dare to do anything to the 'hidden files', as I know it could damage your system. That's why they made it invisible to normal/average user (like me). Unless you know what and which files to be played with.

{PARDON MY ENGLISH}
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabiocaruso:
But, what's the actual space occupied by the system files? We could try to resize "system partition" to gain some gb on "data partition"?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomnic:
I'm also interested in repartitioning it, I successfully made it for a Galaxy S2 and my Note N7000... I used a specific pit file flashed with Odin... is there any pit file for GT-I8190 8 Gb? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoLogY:
Im not sure about CM11, but with Slimrom is about 1.23GB. You can see this using Titanium Backup in the overview.

So heres the problem i updated my phone to Lollipop; Motorola Stock version, now I plan and have full intentions to flash to CM12. The problem I'm not facing is finding a Lollipop compatible custom recovery which would help me flash to CM12. Oh and its a XT1033. All help is appreciated.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andogeek10:
Use TWRP 2.8.1.0. Though I'll advise you to avoid flashing CM12 since it does not support dual sim.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siddharthnair96:
Thanks for the tip hope there won't be issues with screen flickering in this version of TWRP. I have no problem with the single/double sim as I'll be flashing Donkey Kang Kernel enabling me to get one SIM working which is more than enough for me.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andogeek10:
You will have screen flickering since the you have an updated boot loader.

This is just to say Thank you [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION] the great developer, who always amazed me by his dedication to make great ROMS always updated and always being so helpful.

It is a SAD day :( , we lose such developer because of some conflicts with someone (won't discuss that here), I Hope that with some time off you will get over this, take good care and please come back some time soon with your great ROM for S4 users.

We will miss you :( and hope to see you around.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK
[Galaxy S 4 General] corsair2k:
Hope he comes back, best s4 roms imho.

I'm sorry to see him go I loved his ROMs.

But I just need to say I don't know what happened but were all adults here so stop acting like kids and sort it out as adults people have been donating to you and for you to give up on your fan base is wrong I'm sorry I needed to say this

ok , let me get the ball rolling but not real knowledgeable myself.

1) do you know your bootloader and modem version.?

2) not bricked as long as it still can get in a bootloop.

3) sometimes (if were lucky) you can do the 'pull-battery' trick., pull battery out , wait a minute or so , put back in , do the button thing to get to recovery (power, volume up and home at same time).

(i , personally , would probably do a complete wipe and try to install the CM 10.2.1 zip to at least have my phone up and running. you still wont have gapps but you can get that after your phone is back up).

hopefully (!!!) someone more knowledgeable will chyme in , cause the battery pull trick is a maybe/maybe not. sorry dont have more right now. good luck.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Since your phone was running 4.4.2, do not attempt to flash any ROMs using that attempt to downgrade your bootloader to anything prior to 4.4.2.

Try this to get your phone up and running:

download the latest CM11 for the d2lte and save it to an external SD card: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2lte

dowload the latest tar.md5 version of Philz Touch for the d2lte from here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_...Edition/d2lte/

boot phone in download mode, open Odin 3.07, do not check anything except f.reset.time, flash Philz via PDA box, remove USB cable when you see the word Reset appear in the status window, remove battery, replace battery, boot into recovery, format system, Dalvik, data, and cache, flash cm11, and reboot.

Thank you both so much!

I'm sorry, but I don't know my bootloader or my kernel version, unfortunately. I've got a lot to learn, and this happening clearly proves that lol. I will try that with cm right now, and let you know how it goes! Should I download the latest nightly or the latest stable version? I'm sorry for all of the questions!:o
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chevrolet1234:
Thank you

I appreciate your patience. I don't know if I could be so kind and forgiving if I was in your shoes right now. I just feel like a total idiot for not seeking advice before I flashed the initial rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
The latest nightly or stable will do. You just want to get your phone up and running with a ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chevrolet1234:
It was successful!

I flashed cm and it worked! It is seemingly fully-functioning right now (I haven't noticed anything that isn't working), but I have two more things I'd like to ask about, if you don't mind. First, and this is the more important one to me, is getting the gapps if that's at all possible (though I'm a little hesitant about it), though I can live without them. I would post the link to the aforementioned gapps guide, but I cannot post links in replies right now as I do not yet have 10 posts, but I will try to edit the initial post. Since that’s where I ran into the problem initially, it’s may not a good idea to follow that link’s instructions. Secondly, one thing I'd like to do – seeing as this is my first non-touchwiz rom – is get multi-window installed on this rom, if I can do that. There was a link I was reading up on, though I don’t know how accurate or “safe” it is. I will edit the initial post with the link if I can. I feel bad for having all of these different problems and questions, but you guys are lifesavers. For all I knew, I’d be stuck with an expensive paperweight from this point on, so you guys really helped me so much!:D

here is a link for CM 11 gapps.

dont know about multi-window , my phone is very bare bones (not even gapps).

"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Confirm the bootloader and modem on your phone using the Samsung Info App from the Play store. Once you have this information, you can look for TW-based ROMs in the development threads that are compatible with your bootloader and modem.

I haven't had an s3 for over 10 months so I can't comment on the availability of the multiwindow function in CM ROMs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chevrolet1234:
That's very much appreciated!

Thank you so much! :) Would you mind looking at that link that was edited into the first post to tell me if the procedure itself is correct? I just don't want to take any chances!:D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chevrolet1234:
Okay, I will do that as soon as I get the gapps installed:) Thank you so much again for all of your help!:D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:
if your talking about the flashing guide for gapps , it looks correct. you flash gapps from recovery just like you did the CM11 rom.

"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
The Xposed Framework will do what you want to do. If you want to try CM12, Xposed will not work as it has not been updated to work with Android 5.0.

I recommend setting up your ROM with all of the apps and settings you like. Once you have done that, boot into recovery, create a nandroid backup, boot into the ROM, install Xposed Framework and play with it. If something goes wrong, boot back into recovery and restore your nandroid backup which will undo everything you did since you create your backup.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chevrolet1234:
Okay, thank you so much, and I'm fine with staying on CM11, I think. Yes, I was talking about the gapps guide in the last post; sorry I didn't clarify it better haha. Is there a way to create the nandroid backup onto my micro sd card?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:
there is in twrp. dont know about cwm , but should be though.

"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You should be able to specify the backup location in recovery. For me, I tend to save it to an external SD card and make a copy on your computer for safekeeping.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chevrolet1234:
Thank you and I'm sorry! This is just all so confusing to me, and I'd be completely lost without both of you helping me!:o

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chevrolet1234:
That's fine, I should have made it clearer anyway, so that's on me. I would like to get multi-window installed, but mainly I really want the gapps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
There are various version of Gapps. I prefer a minimal number of Gapps as many I don't use such as maps, earth, etc.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chevrolet1234:
Yeah, I don't really use those either. The Gapps installed perfectly, and getting my apps and data restored took a little while, but I just did a nandroid backup of it, so that I can try the xposed framework thing for multi-window. Thank you guys so much again, I was getting ready to give up on it and just stop trying, so you've really helped me!:)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chevrolet1234:
Need help for hopefully the last time.

I was successful in flashing cm 11 earlier, and maybe it's just because I've used touchwiz for so long, but it's not working well for me at all. It's very slow and sluggish (I think that could be from the age of the phone, though.), and after having been able to earlier, I cannot make or receive phone calls, or send or receive texts. I don't care for the interface really, and I'd really like to go back to touchwiz if I can, preferably a rom with multi-window. I downloaded that samsung info app and for the bootloader version, it says “I747UCUFNJ1”, without the quotes. The Modem board says “MSM8960”, without the quotes. I’ve looked through some of the roms listed in the development section, but I cannot figure out which of them are compatible with my phone. Am I correct in thinking that now that I’m currently on an Android 4.4.4 (KitKat) rom, that I must stay with a rom that’s 4.4.4 or higher? If so, I don’t know if I’d be able to find a touchwiz rom with those requirements, as most seem to be at least 18 months old, and thus, older versions of Android. I would love to be able to figure these things out myself, but I’m still a beginner to this site, and really, to flashing roms, so I need all the help I can get hahaha. In all seriousness, I’d really appreciate the help with finding a tw rom, hopefully for the last time! :o
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:
here is a TW based ROM on 4.4.2 that should be good to flash. and am pretty sure gapps is included.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2848080

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chevrolet1234:
Thank you so much! I really don't care about keeping 4.4.4, but I just thought it was unsafe to downgrade from that to a previous version. Do you think it'd be safe to try the one from that link? Thank you again, I guess one good thing that's coming out of this situation is that I'm learning a lot of new information. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:
yes. just do a clean wipe and i think gapps are included.

safe to try older version roms but brick-city to downgrade bootloader/modem.

"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chevrolet1234:
Awesome, thank you. I just wanted to clarify too, before I try to install it about the bootloader and modem being correct currently so that I can flash the rom? In that link it says:

To install.

1. AT&T I747 users should update bootloaders and modem to NE4 http://xdaforums.com/gala...pdate-t2808654 I747M and T999 users need to be on 4.3 firmware or ROM will not boot.

2. Factory data reset if coming from a new ROM

3. Flash in a custom recovery

I just want to make sure that I don't do anything wrong, and possibly screw up my phone.:)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:
if bootloader/modem are UCFNJ1 you should be safe to flash. the "to install..." is because you have to be at least on NE4 or installation will fail or wifi/other issues will occur.

"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"

I know LiquidSmooth is based on Slim, which I believe is based on AOSP source. Either Slim is ported to our phone and Liquid is built on top of it, or Liquid, based on Slim, is ported to our phone (or they're both the same thing). Well, what stops someone who can take Slim and make it into LiquidSmooth, from basing it off of GPE instead?

Come to think of it, I've only seen ROMs based on GPE offer a couple tweaks. Nothing as extensive as something like LiquidSmooth. Can a GPE not be modified as extensively? Isn't it required to have its source posted due to the GPL or something?
