I have been getting an "insufficient storage space" warning for months now...need to get it resolved.
I am rooted, on HD10, ME7 with Safestrap 3.65
Storage settings shows the 16GB total space, with 7.70 GB used under miscellaneous files, the majority of which appear app-related
I have no photos, music or other files on the phone
Apps were installed to internal, not card (which is 8GB)
Is it as simple as slash and burn some apps? Move a bunch to the card?
I also keep getting Samsung apps automatically reinstalled after deleting - not sure why

Do you have hd10 on a rom slot or on your stock slot?

Well it sounds like you should at least try moving everything you can to the external card. You can use apps such SD Maid to clean up the phone and see what you're biggest files are and where they are. You can use Es File /download manager to make sure all your download are also going to external card and you can use Folder Mount to point pretty much anything you want to external card as well. So you can try things like that and I bet you'll be in good shape.
I do all those things and I have about 9 gigs free at all times in my 16 G S4

HD10 is on Rom slot 1
SD Maid says I am using 834MB out of 0.97 GB, leaving 16% available - could this be what is generating the message?
Ext storage shows 6.55GB used / 14.4 avail (54%)
Internal storage shows 6.07GB used / 9.70 avail (37%)
I also get Samsung apps that continue to download after being deleted - ideas for that?

I'd try uninstalling them again and make sure auto update apps isn't ticked off on your play store settings. Then try clearing Cache in Safestrap and reboot. Have you tried that?

Well since you're on a rom slot you still have your stock rom taking up space as well so that is why you're running Into this. You can either make that slots sizes bigger and reflash or move everything over to your external card ya know.

Yea sure if you're considering moving to that why not. As far as what size to make the slot I'd jump over to the Safestrap thread and ask someone opinion there. I've always kept my slots on the default sizes and had no problems so.. SBREEN always suggests doing a full Wipe and then fresh install so I wouldn't dirty flash.
Right now unless you just don't want Knox which I suppose is understandable, there's a safe root method for 4.3 if you wanted to move up and get on HD12 too which is what I'm on. It's debatable at best if it's worth staying on 4.2. They're currently working on kexec support on Safestrap 3.71 /mj7 base so maybe one day we will have more options. Hyperdrive is really the only stable option right now anyways. That's up to you though.

Well any rom slot you create is just using another piece of your internal storage space for all that roms system apps and data and any other apps you may download. So you can eat up 1 or 2 gigs pretty quickly on a rom slot if you're not careful that's all I was getting at.
You really shouldn't have a problem if you get rid of apps you don't need, move the ones you can to your external card then have all your downloads, music, pictures whatever else pointed there as well.
You have a ton of apps?

Presently have 65 since fresh download from playstore after wipe. Doesn't seem excessive. Since it seems related to system apps is there a way to cull clutter there without screwing stuff up?
Going to HD12 seems a bit beyond my comfort level. Is upgrading from 10 to 11 any big deal or do you follow the same steps?

Well I don't think it's the system apps in particular. Everything you download whether from the play store or the Web goes directly to internal storage unless you change that. Add those things in with the actual rom itself and your going to eat up internal space quickly.
So again move whatever apps you can to your /ExtSdCard.
And get rid of the ones you don't need.
Move all pictures and music to /ExtSdCard
Get something like Es File manager which has a download manager built in that way all the downloads from the Web go to external storage as well.
Finally if you read up a bit on Folder Mount you can move even more things there.
Upgrading from 10 to 11 shouldn't be an issue since 12 is the one you need to upgrade firmware and Safestrap for.

so it s simply a matter of these steps again, right? Which kernel? - have read both safestrap and stock.
1. Download HD!! onto card
2. Reboot into Safestrap
3. Select Rom Slot 1 (has HD10 now)
4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
6. Install Rom
7. Pick Safestrap Kernel in Aroma (DO NOT check the reboot step at the end, instead navigate back to module file)
8. Flash ME7 Module.zip
8. Reboot (First Boot may take up to 10 mins)
9. Let Phone sit for 10 minutes
10. Reboot again

You'd have to check out the respective threads and see for yourself, there probably won't be any huge changes until you get up to 11 or 12 but look and see. Again my bad on that.

Read up and see if that's something you'd like to do. Just my opinion. That's all. Good luck

A mysterious file is always generated on my SD card no matter how many times I format it or delete the file. The file has an extension of "MOLOGIQ" and is usually named ".06ba141d-a652-464b-b7c2-0932d1a1402b.mologiq". I have a fear that it is a spyware application that's hidden in my phone. I really can't seem to get rid of it. Any help understanding this or getting rid of it is much appreciated. My phone is rooted, S-OFF, 4EXT. This occurs on any ROM/kernel and even with full wipes and formatting I can't seem to get rid of it.
Just from googleing it comes up as stealth mode start up advertising, which sounds like a load of crap, don't know how or where you got it but it don't sound good
thisis50.com if its hot its here
If a full wipe doesn't fix it, all I could suggest is formatting SD again, through your PC, then run the ruu

I'm a flashaholic if that's how you spell it. v.v
It shows up on any ROM I use. Even on the ROMs that have full wipe aroma, I've even used ROMCleaner, and all the wipes in 4EXT, including SD. Thanks for the suggestion guys. If anyone else has anymore I can try, you're more than welcome.
Can I use a logcat to detect this app? Maybe format or delete the file and turn on the logcat and then wait until a it returns and find the item in the log?

The ability to move apps to SD was removed in Jelly Bean by Google. Samsung has recognized this limitation and has developed a way to do just that. The Samsung fix is rolling out to the international variants first and hopefully soon to the various US ones.
Really? Thats lame. So there is no way to put my apps on the sd card? I have a lot of apps & have taken up almost half of the internal memory already.
So no way to do this at all?

Use the Folder Mount app to move data to your external SD card and create symlinks to the internal storage.

I downloaded this app in anticipation of moving data from my S III to my S4 when it arrives next week.
It looked like a really easy tool to use until I opened it & found that you must agree to sharing data regarding your existing apps, etc. That stopped me cold.

Depending on what version of android you have(I think it's 4.2.2) you can move apps right to the SD card. Well some can't however, you can find out through Application Manager in settings. As far as contacts, if you have your contacts synced to your Google account then when the S4 comes in and you do the initial setup and log in with your Google account it will sync your contacts to the new phone.

I use Helium. You do not have to be rooted to transfer data from one phone to another. It also is just as easy as backing up apps plus data then transfering the helium folder to new phone and restoring. Works with contacts and text messages too. U will need to connect to computer to enable the backup and restore if your not rooted every reboot.

In our case all you need to do is backup to ext SD card of old phone then put SD in new phone aka s4. Install Helium enable and restore.
I'm currently running cm 10.2, and I'm curious as to why the device is still only showing 7.8gb of available internal storage. I understand that the /system and /data partitions still take up space, but I didn't expect it to limit my storage that much. Any light that can be shed would be greatly appreciated.

Your partition sizes are set and cannot be changed. Stock TW is huge so needs a lot of space. Flashing an aosp ROM doesn't free up any usable space. It just takes up a smaller portion of your system partition. Your data portion is also set to like 9±gb. Nothing you can do actually change that.
Sent from my Galaxy S4
you have to understand there are many factors at play here
1st no memory in the market actually has as much space as it advertises: your 16gb s4 probably has 14.7 actual GB of usable memory
2nd unlike the good old days (s1 thereabouts) when system memory was the system's only and your stuff went into an included but external SD card; your 14.7 GB need to be used for the phone's vital functions such as boot, kernel, drivers, recovery... all of which take up space
3rd your ROM will take up room too: tw is huge but don't be fooled aosp ROMs also take a good chunk even though the download sizes are two worlds apart this is what you're seeing on the top line (system)
4th your apps and downloaded apps will rob your system storage: there are some apps that still need to install stuff inside the apk itself (which goes in your system memory rather than your "SD card") which is partly what you are seeing on the bottom (data) line
5th ROMs install apps themselves too: cyanogenmod asks you to install gapps (gmail, g+, hangouts, calendar.....) all of which will take up lots of room specially if you set them up. there are many apps that are HUGE yet vital for the phone to function: like Google play and play services. but your rom will come bundled with all the default apps you see on your drawer the first time which will take up most of that (data) space

Or use something like ES File Explorer File Manager from the Play Store or am alternative browser like Dolphin. ES has a downloader that is one of the choices when downloading a file from the web. In the ES settings you can set its default download location to the external card. Dolphin lets you pick the download location at each download. The TouchWiz camera and some others let you specify where to store photos.
Also, Titanium backup and other backup apps let you back up to the external card.
And most important of all, especially if you are crack flashing TouchWiz ROMs, keep your TWRP or CWM backups on the external card. They can be 2 GB+ each if you don't use compression, and not much better if you do. I have a 16 GB Nexus 7 and its a constant battle with backup space. I usually keep one solid reference backup and my latest only. I would love to be able to throw a 64GB card in it.

I bought an SD card a couple weeks ago and its pretty much useless since everything I download always goes into my internal storage. Maybe I am doing something wrong here? So what's the point of having one

Best thing for you to do is educate yourself. ...As the extsd card is invaluable and something many other phone manufacturers don't even offer any more..
