Hello all,
Picked up one of these lovely phones (an XT1524) last week and, after rooting it using the TWRP recovery method, thought I'd try out the Xposed Alpha to see if it was usable at all and I've encountered some ever so slightly phone specific issues (I think they are as I've not seen them on my N5, N7 or Nvidia Shield that I've also installed the alpha on). After having rooted and flashed the Xposed zip the phone starts complaining that the system is running out of space (needing a minimum 250MB free). I adb onto the phone and a cursory df reveals the following storage stats:
Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/dev 438.9M 64.0K 438.9M 4096
/sys/fs/cgroup 438.9M 12.0K 438.9M 4096
/mnt/asec 438.9M 0.0K 438.9M 4096
/mnt/obb 438.9M 0.0K 438.9M 4096
/system 1.7G 1.4G 365.9M 4096
/data 5.0G 381.2M 4.6G 4096
/cache 248.0M 192.0K 247.8M 4096

/firmware 59.0M 48.3M 10.7M 4096

/mnt/shell/emulated 5.0G 381.2M 4.6G 4096
/storage/emulated/legacy 5.0G 381.2M 4.6G 4096
As you can see, any partition that is supposed to have > 250MB assigned has at least 250MB of free space, and the /system partition has 365.9MB of free space. In addition, when trying to install the Xposed installer app I receive the following error: "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]". My Google-fu skills have failed me with this as I can only find development level resolutions to this issue (concerning the number of methods in the app) which I am clearly not skilled enough to fix (I can put together a basic app, but Xposed is far too advanced for me).
My question is the following: Has anyone else encountered these issues and, if so, have they got any fixes that I could apply to my phone?
If there are any other people who've seen this I can try to put together a bug report and submit it over on the Xposed forum/GitHub.
Xposed is still pretty buggy. Try to wipe cache in twrp.

Can someone with root access tell me how the tab is partitioned, and the sizes of those partitions? How much space is there for apps on the system? Is there a separate /data partition like on the SGS?
Thanks!
Please post Questions in the Q&A forum Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I would like to help, and but can't figure out where to see that.
From a terminal emulator or from within adb shell, you can type 'mount' and 'df' and paste the results here.. that should be enough

hi forum,
I have a tab 8.9, but in hardware and software that's nearly identical to a 10.1 p7500; with all the same issues, so it never hurts exchanging knowledge...
am on rooted stock ICS
I noticed that when my user storage space /data drops below 500mb, my tab gives a "Low on space, tablet storage space is getting low" notification and locks down a number of basic functions: it refuses to install or update any apps from market, and most background sync fails (like push notifications from news apps, ...). Worse, gmail refuses to sync entirely, background and foreground.
the same happens on my phone (HTC desire), with the limit being 15mb; and on basically every other android device (e.g. the nexus 7 where 500mb on a 8gb tablet is proportionally very much unusable space)
on the tab the /data and /sdcard share the same storage...
my question is,
1) is there a way to change the threshold? 500mb seems like an awful lot of unusable space.
2) does cm10 or aosp on the tab use the same threshold ?
below some df results ... with and without low on space warning

I have the 16GB Galaxy S3 version and a 70GB music collection, so even with a 64GB sdcard, space is tight. After installing CM10.1, I ran a df command in the terminal and saw this:

I don't know much about the Android filesystem structure, but seems to me I could chop off at least a good gig from the /mnt and /system filesystems... Is it possible or recommended, and if so, how do I do it? I've Googled it but couldn't find a manual way of doing it and wanted an advice from the experts anyway. ^^
It's dangerous to mess with partition layouts. I'm not aware of anyone doing this on the S3. It's been done on other devices. For example, the HTC Desire, could be repartitioned with a custom bootloader (hboot).
I've never seen anyone discuss the possibility of this on an S3 yet.
Aw... Unnecessary flashing is something I don't wanna screw up with (bootloader in particular). :x
Thanks for the reply then.
Guess I'm waiting for the 128GB MicroSD...
Have a look in original android development. There's a thread in there. Sorry can't post links in xda app.

This is controlled by the kernel IIRC. Just have to be able to build one from source!

Being a naturally curious guy I decided to figure out why my KHDX with 64GB, but using a Safestrap ROM slot, is "running out of space".
Generally when that happens, I use "DiskUsage", an app in PlayStore by "Ivan Volosyuk", which I'd been using when my phone was an OG Droid, and this app was updated for KitKat and everything. I'm sure everybody had used it at some time. If you haven't... You should.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage
It's a storage visualizer, much like SequoiaView or WinDirStat on PC.
Any way, generally, when DiskUsage is on a phone, I should see
App Storage
Storage Card
/storage/sdcard0 (and perhaps sdcard1 as well)
[Root Required]
(That's the way my Droid Bionic is setup, running stock-based ROM and a Cyanogen Mod 10.2 in slot 1)
However, when the same app is on the HDX, running inside ROM slot 1... I get...
Storage Card
[Root Required]
No app storage, eh?
Also, the normally accurate progress bar where it reads all the directories and sizes? Jumped all over creation, counted up to like 312% and such crazy things. But eventually it told me that TOTAL storage I have on the 'storage card' is 6192MB with ZERO free space detected (eh?)
using "Root required" option lets you browse the directories with root permissions and yielded a bunch of interesting stuff under storage
/storage/emulated
/storage/emulated/0
/storage/emualted/0/Android/obb
/storage/emulated/legacy
/storage/emulated/legacy/Android/obb
None of these "emulated" stuff exists on my phone. (Droid Bionic has ROM, 8 GB "internal" SD, and I have a 32GB microSD in there too).
So, after all that blah blah blah... The question...
Can someone explain or link to article that explains how the storage is counted in the HDX?
How can there be no app stroage?
What is that "emulated" and "emulated/legacy"? (I 'll research that myself too)
And perhaps related to Hashcode's Safestrap HDX... Where is the rest of my 64GB?
You should issue a "df" command in a terminal (adb shell from pc, or from pc with JuiceSSH for example. Here is my output on a slot rom on my 16G kindle. You can see that i have 3G left on 11G for sdcard.
What is probably happening is your virtual /data partition (slot) which store downloaded apps runs out of space (i think your limited with safestrap when creating the slot, i did choose 2G for me).
Now most games should install theire game data on sdcard, else i guess you should be able to use some move to sd options in applications settings or with an app.

I found some similar problems in the forum but the solution is didn't worked for me.
I noticed that there is no /data partition when I run df command:
