Hi everyone,
I'm sure this is a common one but I can't find specific advice that would help me.
Okay here we go. I have the Oppo Find 7 running Cyanogenmod 12.1 (Lollipop).
My storage looks like this:
Internal storage 318MB available out of 2.95GB
Internal storage 12.10GB available out of 23.47GB
External storage 16.17GB available out of 29.71GB.
From what I understand the first one is the system storage, therefore a different partition that is sitting on the internal storage and the last one is the external SD memory.
Previously I had Kit Kat where I believe it was unified and therefore I could install as many apps as I wanted. But now that I have this silly partition, I have no space to install any apps even though there is clearly a lot of Gigs free.
I have moved all apps to the SD card and I calculate that the system folder should have at least 1 Gig free, but that is never the case. I tried installing a storage analyzer app and for the System storage it says:
System storage: 382MB available / 626 MB occupied
So the app thinks I have 1 GB partition whereas the phone itself thinks I have a 3GB partition.
According to my phone I should have 2.4Gb available on the system partition!
I believe something much be really wrong here because there is hardly any space left at all to do anything.
I only have 6 apps installed on the internal storage and it is still full.
I am looking for someone knowledgeable to help me diagnose the problem.
The solution I seek would be either something that would
a) Fix the partition to be a real 3GB instead of a 3GB that acts like a 1GB
b) Increase the partition size to be much larger (at least 5GB)
c) A combination of all of the above
I've also looked into a unified storage approach which I understand is possible with Lollipop but extremely difficult. The tutorials I found are insane.
I am looking for advanced solutions and not the typical answers such as "wipe delvic cache", "clear cache", "remove apps" etc.
Thank you
