[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrzeus7:
I have a rooted S5 w/ 16GB of internal storage, but I'm rarely able to update/download new apps. I have to scrounge for apps to delete for a half hour just to get it to let me download a new app or update an app. I have moved just about all the apps I can to the SD card (32GB, less than half used).

In the storage screen it says I have used 14.88GB in apps, and <20MB in everything else with "Free space" around 400-500MB. I usually have to get it to mid 500s before it will let me do anything on it. To make matters worse, somehow the apps I uninstall keep reinstalling themselves.

My problem seems to be this big "Applications" thing - which isn't right. I have some large apps, but they keep all their data on the SD card (like podcasts with PocketCasts). On my applications manager, from top down in size - facebook @ 190MB, google play services at 156MB, google app at 134MB... dropping off fairly quickly after that, so no way its 15GB worth.

What am I missing? Do others constantly have this problem? It is getting ridiculous! No reason that I can see that there should be a big bunch of stuff that is counted as used when it isn't.

Some things I've tried:

I heard about something the dumpstate/logcat, I cleared it but nothing got better

I used adb to set the default install location to the external SD card (I forget the exact command), as far as I can tell it is still trying to install in the internal SD card.

Any suggestions or more information needed?

EDIT:

More information thanks to DiskUsage (forgot I can download APKs - which install fine). It shows my internal SD card breakdown as 10796MB overall, 2612MB app data, 7815MB "System data", and 340MB free space (plus some other misc. that makes up the difference). I don't have a great understanding of how this is partitioned, but I'd imagine the ~16GB has 5GB off limits for ROM stuff? Then what is taking up nearly 8GB as "System data"? Is this normal?

EDIT 2:

Looks like it was creating duplicates in data/app (on a lot of phones I think this is data/app-lib). I used root explorer to purge the duplicates, and now have nearly 3GB free instead of a couple hundred MB!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eodmule:
I have the same problems but I use DiskUsage from the Play Store. Most of the time it's my cache for the download manager has several gigs of wasted space. Clearing cache fixes it for me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrzeus7:
I'll check that out the next time I am able to install an app :P but I should mention I also tap the "cached data" in the storage manager thing (in settings). Usually doesn't work :( I also use CleanMaster, which seems like it works, some times.

EDIT: Just checked it out, that's awesome! I have been looking for this kind of app, I use WinDirStat on windows that does something similar.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eodmule:
I use WinDirStat also. I really like the visual presentation of both.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DaveImagery:
Just noticed Google yanked the MOB30D image for the Nexus 7 2013. Anybody know what's up? I just flashed it earlier today.
[Nexus 6P General] speedinfreaky84:
Not sure why, but I'd like to share with the community that I have Android Pay working on my Nexus 6p, running stock Android version 6.01, build MHC19Q, with beta 2.71 of SuperSU by Chainfire.

I flashed the Factory image using fastboot, flashed TWRP 3.01 via fastboot, and then flashed SuperSU within TWRP recovery using the Beta 2.71 ZIP file from Chainfire

During the setup of Android, I added my Google Account, but skipped the passcode and nexus imprint setup. Before completing the setup process, I restarted back into recovery, and wiped the internal storage. Once I did that, I copied the SuperSU zip back on the device storage via my USB, and installed it again once more. I restarted my Nexus, followed the entire setup and created a PIN only, NOT the nexus imprint. Once I was into the Google Now Launcher, I opened Android Pay...added my payment cards without any error messages at all. I confirmed root access is available, and then set up my Nexus imprint. I then confirmed at POS terminal that Android Pay does in fact work.

Not sure if this matters, but I have not yet enable DEV settings access within Android as of this writing. Also, I have not encrypted the device, and did not elect to use a pin when starting the phone.

Can anyone else confirm this works for them?
[Nexus 6P General] casonswag:
Have u tried buying anything with it yet?

[Nexus 6P General] Papote3:
systemless root I'm guessing? have you tried with modded system?
[Nexus 6P General] speedinfreaky84:
Systemless mode.

Haven't tried any other mod. Yes, I used the tap & pay at the local bodega.
[Nexus 6P General] PaulG1488:
Can you check your supersu settings and look towards the bottom it should tell you if it's a system app or if it's running systemless
[Nexus 6P General] opz187:
pretty sure it's systemless. I mean, no system level root has made it to Android pay. but I'm just speculating
[Nexus 6P General] speedinfreaky84:
screenshot

I'll post a screenshot asap, but I did check and SU is installed system-less mode.
[Nexus 6P General] speedinfreaky84:
Also....

I use the app Secure Settings, and it does report that Root is not available (WITHIN the Secure Settings application) however, other apps, such as Adaway, can request, and are able to be granted, root access, with no apparent issues.
[Nexus 6P General] speedinfreaky84:
Here....
[Nexus 6P General] PaulG1488:
Ahh so it was systemless no surprise there but good to know.
[Nexus 6P General] zeezz:
You can do this by chmod-ing the correct folder. See https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/4coc1e/easiest_way_to_systemless_root_while_keeping/
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
Why the extra steps, why not just flash TWRP, Flash SU as Systemless, then reboot and use Android Pay? That's how I was able to do it. And I didn't need the extra steps of deleting xbin_bind or chmoding the folder /su/bin (I am guessing SU did that for me.)
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
Way too many steps.

CFAutoRoot updated to 3.71 beta. 3.71 won't install xbin_bind. su/bin already chmodded to 751 in 3.71.

Don't even need TWRP. CFAutoRoot on factory stock and you're good to go with Android Pay.
[Nexus 6P General] speedinfreaky84:
You're probably right, I know a lot less about the process than you, so I wanted to make sure I provided as much information about what I did during setup that could replicate my success....since I wasn't really trying to get it to work since it didn't work up until now on a rooted device.

But cool man I'm glad it can be done so much easier.
[Nexus 6P General] bouchigo:
No need to do that anymore. The supersu setup script has been doing that for the last 4 versions (starting at v2.68).
[Nexus 6P General] TimesNeverWasted:
Google Wallet?

Didn't Google Wallet work on any rooted or ROM system? Android Pay is really annoying when it comes to this regard.
[Nexus 6P General] nextelbuddy:
how do you get the 2.71 to install as systemless?

i downloaded the 2.71 from this Beta thread

http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

and it wont install as system less. is there something that has to be done or another 2.71 zip that is converted to systemless?
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
Google Wallet did work, but is being phased out and replaced with Android Pay.
[Nexus 6P General] MrKaon:
It should install in systemless mode by default, are you 100% stock? With not modifed boot.img?
[Nexus 6P General] nextelbuddy:
i was able to get it to work with help from another thread.

if have never been rooted before with systemless, then people that install 2.71 will get installed as SYSTEM by default unless you came from one of the original systemless ZIp files such as 2.56 which sets some parameters first that the new ones do not do by default.

I had to:

boot into TWRP and go into TERMINAL and then type

echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu

Then

echo BINDSYSTEMXBIN=false>>/data/.supersu

Once that is complete then flash latest BETA SuperSU such as 2.71

that worked for me.
[Nexus 6P General] byproxy:
assuming as before/always - you can't run any xposed mods and retain functionality. correct?
[Nexus 6P General] PaulG1488:
That is correct.
[Nexus 6P General] IRatchett:
gonna flash back to stock and try this
[Nexus 6P General] sherlock5545:
Wallet didn't require banks to join, Android Pay does. Obviously Google will do as much as possible to please banks into getting onboard. If banks don't feel comfortable with Android Pay working on rooted phones, Google doesn't have a choice.
[Nexus 6P General] eman3316@optonline.net:
So this will also let you take an OTA update using this method?
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
No, it will not allow an OTA. There is no way you will successfully OTA on anything other than factory stock.

Every month when a new monthly update is released, I do a full unroot, then flash all the new release files (and you don't even need to do all of them but I'm just anal about everything being current and I don't have time to review the talk about every release to see what's new and what isn't) except userdata, then reroot using CFAutoRoot. Takes about 5 minutes. That way you don't need to wait the couple weeks or so it takes for the OTA to pushed to you. If you wanted you could do a full unroot, install the OTA, then reroot.....but I'm impatient.
[Nexus 6P General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Thanks. Where is the download for auto-root for 6.0.1? I am only seeing N listed for Nexus 6P on his page?
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
Just use the one for angler/6P. Works on both N and 6.0.1.
[Nexus 6P General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Cool, and last question. My device is encrypted. Will this decrypt my device and if it does what effect will that have on anything in the future with the phone?
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
Does not affect encryption (mine is encrypted).

What effect will it have in the future? That's impossible to say. All I can say is that it works perfectly right now on the current releases of Android Marshmallow and Android Pay. If Google really wanted to stop Android Pay from working with root, they could certainly do it. Given the amount of posting generated last time they blocked it, my guess is they realize that people who root are more likely to use Android Pay than people who don't, they want to encourage use, there haven't been any Android Pay security breaches (yet) as a result of rooted phones, so they are tolerating the potential security risk.....for now.

And....Chainfire is a VERY smart and clever guy who is very generous to the community, and he's a genius at figuring out how to get around things. It may take a little while after new releases (he is entitled to have a life!), but he's always been there. So donate.
[Nexus 6P General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Thanks and now rooted. I still am unsure of the whole encrypting and the effect it has to either leave as is or decrypt it but yes, still encrypted after installing. Now I can get my tethering back!
[Nexus 6P General] farnell:
Thanks to speedinfreaky84, the OP, for sharing! (And of course to ChainFire for doing the heavy lifting.)

I have been waiting for someone brave enough to try this. I have now rooted with 2.71, and confirmed working.

Yea for stock rooted Android Pay!

can xposed framework be installed at all?
[Nexus 6P General] PaulG1488:
No you can't have xposed installed and use Android Pay. Unfortunately, you have to pick one or the other.
[Nexus 6P General] explorer-10:
Will CF AutoRooting perform a bootloader unlock, wiping my device?
[Nexus 6P General] matt4321:
Yes
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
But if you are already unlocked, it will not wipe. At the current time there's no getting around the wipe when you unlock from locked.
[Nexus 6P General] explorer-10:
Is here a systemless root that DOESN'T wipe?
[Nexus 6P General] MontAlbert:
does Xposed still work with Systemless root and Android pay?
[Nexus 6P General] justibasa:
Nope. Was answered above or on the previous page.
[Nexus 6P General] Nekromantik:
Hi all

I just done a full wipe and installed Pure Nexus Layers version.

I then flashed PN Gapps and rebooted. Done setup and did full unroot.

Back to twrp I flashed systemless root latest and then kylo kernel.

However AP app still wont let me add cards and safetynet helper dont pass.

Nothing else installed.
[Nexus 6P General] Alex_Lema:
Just made a dirty install of stock MTC19T with systemless root (verified), and it does not work. AP does not let me add cards, and Safetynet Helper failed (CTS profile match: false).

EDIT: Had to manually "chmod 751 /su/bin". Now Safetynet Helper passes, and I could add a card.

(Now Google only needs to start accepting transactions from overseas... :crying: :p )

Pure Nexus info for Systemless/AP http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64645717&postcount=4497

I would use use Gapps from April or earlier. The latest Gapps seems to break AP

This zip makes it so Adaway and AP play nice together. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911977059

See thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2190753
[Nexus 6P General] Nekromantik:
Yes followed those instructions but used latest Gapps.

I will wipe system and try again with older gapps.
[Nexus 6P General] Nekromantik:
got it working with older gapps from april.

thanks
[Nexus 6P General] ruabell:
OK so in going to attempt this process on my hammerhead MTC19T running the recent Pure Nexus, I've downloaded 4/17 gapps and 2.74 SuperSU. looking at doing a full wipe first.

looking to restore AP

any words is wisdom I'm all ears!
[Nexus 6P General] sherlock5545:
It works fine here too. I've been making payments with Android Pay since this morning and it worked flawlessly. I'm running the may factory image with systemless root and Adaway.
[Nexus 6P General] ruabell:
oh I just got this reply from Google:

Android Pay

Your rating:★★★★★

still no root love

still unable to use with latest update

Developer response:

Hi D***, Thanks for your feedback. Participating banks require Google to verify the security model on the device, and Android Pay loses the ability to make that verification on a rooted device. Do note that we have heard the root community and we're exploring options to address this!

whatever
[Nexus 6P General] wayne8821212:
Works fine on the latest Pure Nexus and CandySix as well as rooted stock Marshmallow and rooted N preview 3.

Hi guys. I was wondering if this is the liquid crystal case because on amazon it doesn't have the name explicitly. I also linked the liquid crystal from spigen website.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01A7...xy+s7+edge&dpPl=1&dpID=41LCE-vsNgL&ref=plSrch

http://www.spigen.com/products/galaxy-s7-case-liquid-crystal-liquid-crystal
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] rockster76:
It has the name liquid crystal case on Amazon. So what´s your problem? It is the right case
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Spigen is banned from amazon currently, so all of their cases are sold/shipped by Amazon or another 3rd party. That's why it's hard to find any of their listings up and why the prices are much higher. I would recommend the Ringke Fusion Air instead of the Spigen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] HNIC215:
Where did you read this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I cannot provide a source because they do not want to be named, but this isn't their first ban. I would search around on Google if you want to see more about it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Beedeezy10:
Yeah, the company moved the entire store to Ebay. That's where I had to get my case from.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
On their Facebook they claim they're having technical difficulties, but Amazon wouldn't let that happen to a top 10 seller now would they.

You can see the post I'm referring to here

They've always had a eBay store that sells their full line up, but I guarantee they are losing tons of money since being kicked off Amazon again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] goremasta:
Got this one

I've bought Ribnke Fusion Crystal Clear from Amazon.

Pretty good.

It was on promo, 4bucks

[IMG="Ringke Fusion Crystal Clear"]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81vatCyQdzL._SL1500_.jpg[/IMG]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] JasonJoel:
Amazon's loss then. I like spigen, and Amazon isn't the only place on the web to buy things...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
It's not their loss (this isn't the first time they banned Spigen, and no one knows if its temporary of not) since Spigen consistently violates Amazons policies. I know it's not the only place to buy their products, but it will certainly make a lasting impact on their bottom line.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] George_uk:
What are they doing wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] HNIC215:
It seems as if they are operating fine on Amazon...

http://www.amazon.com/Spigen/pages/5299909011

I just purchased a case from them not too long ago for the S7 Edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
They were gone for nearly a month, and it still seems like they're operating at a limited capacity. All I'm trying to get across is how they were banned again (4th time now) for shady activities, and how I would stay away from their company and explore other options until they decide to change their ways. The only way I'll buy another case form them is if theyre the only one with a case at that time and or its something that I really really want. I don't want to support their company to be perfectly honest after seeing how they act as a seller.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] JasonJoel:
In this specific case it IS Amazon's loss. I bought the case from another retailer so Amazon didn't get any money but spigen did.

I understand your point though that overall Spigen is likely losing more than Amazon if/when they are off Amazon's site.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] HNIC215:
Hmmm... that's interesting.

I've never once had a bad experience with Spigen and I always purchase their products exclusively through Amazon.

In fact, I've had quite the opposite experience, it's always been smooth and satisfying and I always purchase at least one Spigen case for all of my phones. I feel like they make the best cases (for me).

It's funny how that works... Different strokes for different folks I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
The amount Amazon would lose would be a drop in the bucket regardless of how big the seller is. Amazon is still the largest seller on Amazon so they don't care if others come and go

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

I'm not saying my experience was particularly poor, I'm just pointing out what they do to other Amazon sellers, and how the act as a company on Amazon
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] canadoc01:
Maybe they were off as they needed to make changes to the design from early orders and needed a few days to proceed.

I have an Android 4.4.4. When I bring up the wifi network screen it has literally dozens of networks showing.

I have "automatic scanning" turned off. How to I keep the networks from showing up, or more importantly how do I get my Android to stop scanning, finding and displaying these networks?

From the list it looks like every network I drive by in my car is being scanned. This definitely unnecessary, not useful to me personally, it seems unnecessarily risky and definitely makes it harder to find and manage the few networks I want/need to access and manage.

Any help would be appreciated.
