We can select which folders to backup into G Photos and so they can be viewed there.

Nice, looking forward to more pictures of the new 5.
[Nexus 6  General] iRub1Out:
Looks equally massive. Possibly bigger than the N6?

I've grown comfortable with the size of the 6, but man, they could have done so much more to make the 6 "up to par" with current top of the line phones.

By that I mean:

Camera functions (specifically video) - big let down

Sound settings are (seemingly) inconsistent - and annoying

There's more but I'm tired.

But I suppose that more their apps, not the device itself. I'm more mad about the "brand new API" being "so great" but the camera offers no FPS changes, makes me miss Sammy. Even tho... I really dislike Samsung for far more reasons.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tazzypillar:
So I got the Moto G 1gb, 8 gigs of internal storage version.

I love this phone so far and I've pretty much set it up how I'd like it, but the 8gb internal storage has turned into an issue.

I got Appmanager III, moved pretty much everything to my 32 gig external, but I still have only like 600 mb to spare on the internal, with well over half of the external left over.

Is there another app that will allow me to move all the app data left over in the internal over to the external?

If that's not enough, I'd also be interested in knowing if there's any way I can force the system to use the external as the main storage for all the OS functions. I already used adb to set all the default downloads to the external.

Finally, I'd like to know if custom ROMs like cyanogenmod would use up less storage than the stock OS, or at least let me use more of my internal by reducing the amount of bloatware (why can i NOT get rid of google movies or google+??? come ON)

I'm rooted and have installed twrp so both root and custom recovery solutions are welcome. Thanks for your time and help!
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce7373:
If it were me, I'd make a Nandroid with TWRP on the external as well as a backup with Titanium and then use Titanium to delete unwanted bloatware. Wouldn't that help?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
System apps, ie those that come with the phone such as google movies, live in the system partition. If they are updated then the update lives in the internal storage. Uninstalling via titanium will of course free up both system and internal storage space.

However just disabling them will be sufficient, this will remove all updates from internal storage and just leave the apk in the system partition. Its the internal storage that you want to be less full as this is where user apps, pictures etc all reside (assuming you haven't yet moved them to an SD card).

Disabling is less drastic than uninstalling and is maybe the preferred option in case you otherwise uninstall something that breaks your phone.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tazzypillar:
I've tried that, but for whatever reason if I disable, say, google play movie or whatever, my phone eventually ends up redownloading them? It's really odd and honestly pretty annoying.

I'd still like to know if there's any way to keep all the main app data on the external or something though. Are Cyanogenmod ROMs installers smaller? I don't need THAT much more space to feel comfortable, having 1 gigabyte would be ok with me. I just don't like having like 600 MB free at most...

EDIT: If I can just move the app data for a few games and Google Chrome, that should fix it, too. Those seem to be the real space hogs, so if I can move those I should be able to handle everything else

EDIT EDIT: Would an app like Link2SD work for this phone or has no one tested that yet?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boombastical:
Hi Tazzypilar, Yes Link2Sd wil work wery well. All wat you have to do is to install MiniTool Partition Wizzard Professional on your PC, then put your micro SD card in the cardreader on your desktop or laptop to make two partitions on your SdMicro card (card must be class 10). Start program MiniTool Partition Wizzard Professional and look for your microSD card on the list with disks. Right click on your removable disk (micro sd card) and you can resize your first Fat32 partition and make it smaller for at least 2 GB. After that you will have 2 GB unused space behind this Fat32 partition. Now click with right mouse on this unused space and choose „Create“ new partition and make it ext4 file system partition. You will be prompt „Are you sure that you want to make ext4 partiton because Windows can't see it ?“ and answare „Yes“ . So, one partition will be Fat32 and you can make it as big as you like depending on the size of your MicroSd card and second should be at least 2GB (or greater - also may be smaller, it's up to you) ext4 partition and there you will move your apps from the internal phone memory.

That's all, after that you have to install Link2Sd from playstore and link apps you like to move to your SdCard. Succes ! If you have more questions jut ask !

Greetz !

Where did my storage go?

Just asked my self a very similar questions

I attachment a screen shot

From the 8gb 3,5 go to Android system

So 4,5gb for internal I thought., but no.

I installed about 2gb of apps and 200mb cache.

Ah I forgot to mention that this is a fresh install after factory reset and still I am missing alot of storage see screen shot

Is this normal? I am on stock not rooted with some apps already moved to SD Any ideas?

Why not upgrade to android M and use phone's feature to use external card as internal card.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merlin2380:
I am glad you brought this up, guess what I am already on M and using the SD card feature, unfortunately I can only a small portion of the apps move to the SD card the rest stays internal
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmlogan:
Look for posts on link2sd, it needs to be a fast card and then formatted using both std FAT and ext (linux) partitions. Then you can move almost everything.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berong:
Though Im using LG H502F. Correct me if Im wrong but I think thats because the internal storage is emulated. Ive been using Link2SD and it works well. I can link app data and external data to the mounted partition. The only difference I noticed was... When opening the app it takes a couple of second or more compared to the unlinked apps... Anyways. Try to check if your storage is emulated. If it is, then that 3GB available space for a stock rom is as good as it gets. Mine have 8GB rom but the end user is only 3GB something.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolizard:
In android M you can "transform" your sd card in internal memory (in Settings>Storage>SdCard>Definitions). If you have a fast 32 Gb card, you can format it to internal and it is as you have 32 Gb internal memory, but your sdcard must "live" with your phone (can't be used as sdcard in other device).

I think that is what [MENTION=5777979]sandipkc7[/MENTION] means.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maly82:
Tried internal storage option in marshmallow and at first i taught it was rubbish, but i kinda left sdcard alone and install another ROM.

So stuff on my internal storage was nowhere to be found. I installed latest recovery (TWRP) Flashed another rom and this is where things started to get interesting.

When i first converted sdcard to use as internal storage my phone was still eating up the internal memory 8GB on the phone.

Now however android system decided to do away with internal 8GB memory and use sdcard as a main storage. my photos are stored there and all data i noticed that almost everything is installed on sdcard now. so my storage is not vanishing away. I have about 1.7GB used on there.

There are some apps that can be moved manually to sdcard storage (converted to internal) - for example some of the system apps and most of google apps stay in phones memory not on sdcard and they can't be moved manually.

So my advise is covert your card to internal memory and then do factory reset or install another ROM.

Option 2 as mentioned above in posts is to use app called Link2SD - it is worth to opt for paid version which gives you more options of what to copy to 2nd partiton of your sdcard.

i have amazon fire 7 (£50 tablet) setup with option 2 - same storage 8GB. It works well. due to lack of marshmallow for this device i cannot use internal sd as an option. I have 2GB used there and rest sits on sdcard. i have installed few resource (storage) hugging apps - 1.2 GB, 2 GB each (gameloft games) - all moved to sd with link2sd app.

on my moto g 2015 i use android build in solution and it works well. You have to keep in mind that with this solution you can't simply copy files to your computer. Sdcard is encrypted at device level and it can only be access via your phone. However you can use any wifi file transfer app to copy some files over or via phones hotspot (i use droid over wifi or web pc suite to name few).

hope this helped a little
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsrolled:
honestly, its not worth it to use sdcard as internal, despite the micro sd card being fast, it made my phone ridiculously slow..............
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merlin2380:
Because of this slow down i did a reset to default settings. This did help and now the phone works much better, just make sure you always have 500MB empty on the internal storage, anything less and tbe phone performance goes down imediatly.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stevebonning:
When you say all ROMs, have you tried different Radio ROM's? Different radios can have a big impact on battery use; only way to find out is to flash one, use it for a few days. Helps to have Battery Bar which monitors power consumption as well. The latest is not necessarily the greatest. Sometimes it's best to use an older radio ROM. Trying out is the only answer

Hope this helps
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Scrog:
Let it drain all the way to null..so you can't even turn it on. Then charge up fully and it should last much longer. Or flash only with 100% on battery. I've had this a coupla times with new flashes on 60 or 70% battery. I'll drain it down and charge it up and battery life is back to normal.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriticalComposer:
*UPDATE*

It looks like I managed to recover from this completely. I ended up doing a second TPDebrick but I made sure I specified 32gb this time. I don't recall what I put in last time but I'm guessing it wasn't 32 and that is what wrecked my partitions.

To preface, I had bricked my Touchpad and used TPdebrick to get it to boot again. I now have access to the boot menu and can get to TWRP and WebOS recovery just fine. However, TWRP won't let me install any .zips and shows 0mb on both the /system and the /data partitions. TPToolbox gives me a slew of problems such as :

Install Android or Resize Android Volumes

- Problem w/ vgchange -ay

Repair Android Volumes

- FAILED: rc=5: vgchange -ay

Complete Data Reset

- ERROR: Invalid partition info: end-gap greater than 1 percent of mmc

I'm using the same TPToolbox v42 that I used to originally install Android on my Touchpad. Just to confirm the files hadn't corrupted somehow I redownloaded the toolbox and tried again to the same results. Any help would be appreciated. I'm pretty good with basic/intermediate Android stuff but I feel a little over my head with this stuff.

*edit* I have since tried WebOS Doctor and it has told me it cannot fix my device either.

Had Evervolve Kitkat on my TP and I didn't charge it for a long period. After that I wasn't able to charge or wake it up again.

With TPDebrick I could end in the boot menu, bu any further TPToolbox action failed.

For me it seems, the necessary volumes are either not available or of size zero.

I would like to revive the beloved TP, but have no glue how to overcome this situation

With the recent release of framework 71 released here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 xposed framework can now be installed on the idol 3 without causing boot loops. Xposed for Lollipop is still in alpha so you may find that some modules still don't work but the handful I tried including gravitybox for lollipop worked fine. Xposed also has a module to fix a memory leak in 5.0.x roms which I highly recommend running. Make sure you install the arm64 framework along with the apk....if you run into issues you can flash the uninstaller via recovery and it will remove the framework.

There are many modules available now to customize the stock rom.

Well Xposed requires root so yes you will have to be rooted...if the xposed framework fails to boot you can run the xposed uninstaller. You will need to inquire in the xposed for lollipop thread I linked to for more details and directions.

All I did however was flash the xposed amd64 framework 71 zip file (from TWRP and then rebooted into the ROM) and then installed the xposed-installer 3.0 alpha apk....then I went into the framework section in the apk and it showed the framework was installed and working...I've since loaded a handful of modules: (App Settings, BootManager, Fix Lollipop Memory Leak, GoogleOfflineVoice, Gravitybox [LP], Network Speed Indicator, Notifyclean, Rootcloak (can be used to hide root from the system update checker so you can check for updates as normal however don't DOWNLOAD them till you've fully unrooted), Secure Settings Xposed Module, Statusbar download progress, StopSwitchDelay, XInstaller, XInternalSD and XVoice+) all of which seem to be operating normally.

Hangar has an xda thread in android apps & games and you can add a 2nd row of icons should you wish to.
