What will happen if I remove SD card with lots of app install on it to swap it with another sim?
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/system 2.4G 1.9G 494.2M 4096
/data 10.4G 4.1G 6.3G 4096
/data/sec_storage 17.7M 202.0K 17.5M 1024

/storage/emulated 1.4G 0.0K 1.4G 4096
/mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 59.5G 29.2G 30.3G 131072
"ROM" uses a 2.4G partition
Data is 10.4G
The rest is other Android partitions.. (I've removed a lot from the df above; cache, modem, etc.)
my biggest problem ist, that the dalvik cache uses (in my opinion) an enormous amount of space. i have no idea why. i can only guess, that it needs more space because in /dat/dalvik-cache/ there is an arm and an arm64 dir
at the moment my dalvik's size is about 2,15 GB.

OK, I have a Gtab with the 11/15 FB build.
I am curious about the partitions. Really, why ? I have worked in Unix for a bunch of years and am a fan of few, large partitions. So why am I choosing 2048 ? Or the max if 4096 ?
If it were a Sun box (which is what i cut my teeth on) I would make the main card (disk) a 12 GB root partition and 4 GB swap.
Do the same rules not apply ? It looks like there are a few different partitions (/system, /data, etc) but my eyes cannot read the terminal emulator all that well.

This may not be 100% correct (& if it's not I'm sure someone will correct me).
Really no comparison between a Sun box & a tablet. Sun would be bigger & better hardware.
The tablet only has a 512M nand chip (that holds most of the os), 512M of ram (to run the os, apps & no dedicated graphics memory), a processor that is designed for low power vs performace & and a emmc...basically a thumb drive( in place of an hdd). On top of that Andoid is really a hydrid os (a linux kernel with a java vm to run apps).
As far as partitions go, here is the structure for the nand chip on MOST of the gTabs:
Partition 2 = BCT = boot Config Table
Partition 3 = PT = Partition Table (this list)
Partition 4 = EBT = Bootloader
Partition 5 = MBT = ?
Partition 6 = BLO = Viewsonic Bird Logo
Partition 7 = MSC = ? inandop.log /possibly inter kernel comm tween part9/10
Partition 8 = OGO = logodata (gTablet logo I believe)
Partition 9 = SOS = recovery kernel
Partition 10 = LNX = kernel
Partition 11 = APP = system(rom)
Partition 12 = CAC = cache
If you look at gtablet.cfg file in any of the nvflash packages you will see these partition definitions, fs types & sizes used by nvflash to create them.
You also have 2 additional partitions on the the 16GB internal sd (emmc):
/data - user apps & settings - only accessible via root access
/sdcard = user & app storage
Don't know why exactly why /data is set @ 2 G . Apps in Android don't have the bloat of desktop/PC apps and are considerably smaller. I can tell you that with 83 apps installed I still have nearly 1G of space left on mine out of the 2G.
For the most part, Android doesn't truly multitask apps like on a desktop. From what I understand, Android has it's own mechanism for freeing memory when needed (swapping). When space is needed, non running apps are terminated but the app is responsible for storing persistent data so that it can be reactivated (assuming the app saves persistent data) when called.
Hope this helps.

Cool, thanks, I boosted it up to 4 GB, does not sound like that will hurt (had to reinstall because it was full- could not tell why)

As to what the various partitions are, I can elaborate a bit more on Al's post above. Try these 2 posts:
SD card partitions
NAND Flash partitions
The Android OS has its distributions (ROMs) divided into those partitions described above for pragmatic reasons which are not hard to figure out--mainly to enable easy upgrades of running distributions; with security being a secondary concern.
There is no reason why you couldn't merge some partitions together. For example, GtabComb-b3.3 merges /cache into /data at system bootup time. If you were willing to lose the protected read-only status of /system, that too could be merged with /cache+/data on the SD card by modifying the init rc files. You could muck around with the system at an even lower level since you have access to the source code. It's really up to you how far you want to go. The kernel doesn't care about the no. of partitions or the filesystems on them, or even where they are.
As for your question about the 2GB size of /data, that's just how VS deemed it to be when they released the gTab and that's the size that's followed by most custom ROMs. You can have a smaller or larger size if you want. I, for example, run 2 different ROMs--VEGAn-Tab 7.1 and GtabComb-b3.3--the former on the internal SD card and the latter on a micro SD card just by loading a different boot partition using CWM. And since my micro SD is just 2GB in size, I've shrunk my /data to 256 MB.

None of the currently used kernels swap; and neither does Android. That's why they kill apps when there is no memory.
Explains things very well. Thank you both.
I have the USA T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S2.
The spec sheet says the internal memory is 16GB, when I go to my phone and it says the system storage is only 1.97GB. Can someone explain to me why the difference?

System storae is for applications u should have another section that says internal memory which is an internal sd card that should b close to 16 gb
Settings - Storage - also lists Sd Card + USB Storage + Device memory
Thanks for the quick replies.
So I went to settings > storage. It shows SD card, USB storage and System storage.
I understand System storage is how much space I can have for all my apps. But I'm not sure what the USB storage is.

System storage (mine actually reads as "Device memory", but whatever) = space for apps to be installed (unless they can be moved to external memory)
USB storage = included "external" memory; i.e. what's left of the 16gb after system storage and whatever is partitioned for the OS. Usually around 13-14gb
SD card = external card you can plug into the phone to expand memory
USB storage is the default of where photos and videos are stored, and you can store other media (i.e. music, movies, etc) here as well, OR on the SD card.

Good point.
I was just looking into this and it seems the I9100 has only 14.08GiB?!?

/dev/block/vold/179:25 31424512 3729088 27695424 12% /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
ignoring all the virtual tmpfs mountpoint and the external sdcard (/dev/block/vold/179:25) I'm left with
516 040 + 100 784 + 20 144 + 2 064 208 + 12 062 752 = 14 763 928
that's 14.08GiB / 14.76GB which is 1.25GB short of 16GB
(before someone even suggests that's because of Samsung using 10^9 instead of 2^30 please notice that I did calculate in both GiB and GB and it doesn't add up in either!)
I am currently running TeamDRH 1.3.2 and my question is -
I can no longer install apps to my tablet, looking at my setup I have 1.4MB free in my internal ram, OK.
I also have a 32GB SD card installed that shows I have over 29GB free.
How do I install apps to my SD card? I can delete some of my apps off the internal ram if I can install them to the SD card.
Any suggestions out there?
Thanks ahead for the help.

The values look different because /cache is symlinked to the internal sdcard now. We needed to save room on the nand and this was the way that we achieved it. Going to Jellybean, the system partition needs over 300M of data and with our nand being only 512M space is getting tight.

You mean symlinked... I know about that and that's not it. It's the default df command. If you look closely, you'll see that it's rounding the values imprecisely. That's why I asked for the busybox version.
BTW, any idea why TeamDRH ICS doesn't let you move apps to SD cards?

As far as I know, It was actually removed from the JB AOSP code. It is also not in the CM10 code at all. Maybe I missed something but I believe its gone. As of now DRH is done with work on ICS and we will not be updating that rom anymore. JB has just been much more stable and smooth. The 3.1 kernel will soon be driving the JB rom also.

I was hoping that since you guys had to explicitly remove that move-to-sdcard feature from the ROM, I would get the exact git changesets. I don't relish going through that entire tree looking for the relevant changes--esp. now that my Java/C++ skillz are a fading memory.
It would be simpler to just ask whoever made those changes (if not you)--they'll be able to pinpoint it right away: whether its in the build configuration, in one of the device xml files, in the Settings app itself, or where ever else.
BTW, I'm still curious about those slowdowns that prompted the removal of the move-to-sdcard feature from DRH ICS. Apart from a slight initial setup cost (mostly CPU), there really isn't any extra I/O involved over the all-apps-in-/data case.

I will ask around for you and see what I can find.
I purchased an S4 knowing that, at least while on the stock ROM, only a little more than 9GB would be available to the user. I figured that installing a custom ROM would allow me to reclaim this missing space. However, every AOSP ROM I've tried installs to the 9GB of user space on the device and the remaining GB go missing. When stock is installed my S4 sees all 16GB only half of which is usable, and with an AOSP ROM installed my S4 only sees 9GB. Using TWRP I have wiped System, Data, Cache, and Dalvik and that does not return the missing space. My question is, does anybody know of a way to reclaim the missing 6GB or if it will ever be possible to reclaim the missing 6GB?
It's not that it goes missing. You have a partition size that would have to be reformatted to regain that usable space. The system partition will be 7gb and the Rom you install will go to that partition whether it is a 2gb, 1gb or 5gb rom. just flashing a smaller rom won't change that partition size.
Ok, missing is the wrong word but the effect is the same. How can I reformat the system partition so that my S4 has closer to 16GB of space available?

They're rumors we might get back some of the storage. Buy an sd card. 32gb are like $15

I'm flashed as stock/root/debloated with the faux kernel. In my phone about/storage/misc files it shows System Memory as 6.38GB. I did a backup through TWRP from stock and here is some relevant logs:
/system | /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 | Size: 2753MB Used: 2497MB Free: 255MB Backup Size: 2497MB

I think I backed everything up too. The stock ROM must compute that 6.38GB from some other partition

I have a Sprint S4, and have the same problem. My initial thought would be to find a .pit file with a partition less that 6GB, but I don't know if that's possible or how hard it would be.
Is there any way to re-partition ROM eMMC ? since /cache has 500 MB ,it can be re - partitioned to merge into /data partition . so any body here know how to re-partition ROM ? is it possible ?
