Root [International Tegra 3] Low Internal Storage Space After Root?

I rooted my One X last night, flashed ARHD Rom, flashed a few mods here and there, and checked my storage space, with absolutely nothing on there except 500MB of music and 100MB of photos. However, I only had 12.5GB left to work with, what happened? I had around 18GB before the root!

*EDIT*: Sorry, I meant to say the Phone Storage, not Internal Storage. Thanks again!
 
I've not had time to scan the thread yet, does it mention any fixes?

Although, there's a fix in the new 1.29.401.11 update by all accounts and Mike has just updated to ARHD 6.0.0 (based on the new release) so if you flash that, it might fix things for you.
 
The guys at xda does mention formatting as a solution, but only temporarily. I backed up my files, formatted to FAT32 on 16KB, and pasted the files back to my phone. The storage showed up correctly, with 23.2GB available. But they mentioned that if you mount your drive with a USB after formatting, you'll still lose space. I plugged my phone onto my PC and transferred some files (around 20MB), and rebooted my phone. I immediately went from 23.2GB to 22.2GB available.

I'll take a look at the AHRD update and see if that fixes anything, thanks!
 
One question, if I go on and flash AHRD 6.0.0, do I still have to wipe factory settings, data, and delvic cache and what not in recovery?

I'd do the caches, but Mike said in the thread he went from 5.2 -> 6.0 without superwiping and didn't have any issues. There are a couple of posts on the page below where he talks about it:

[ROM] Android Revolution HD 6.0.0 | ICS | High Quality & Performance | 1.29.401.11 - Page 836 - xda-developers

Mind your boot.img too! :)

Alright, I'll get to it as soon as I'm not that busy and report back the results. The 1.29.401.11 update for stock rom does indeed fixes the USB Storage problem, so this should do the same :) Thanks again for your help!
 
Did you not have to flash the boot.img the first time you flashed ARHD?

Basically, with the htcdev unlock, there are certain partitions of the phones internals that can't be written to via recovery, the boot partition being one of them. As a consequence, the boot.img has to be flashed manually via fastboot, similar to the way you flashed ClockWork Mod when you rooted.

Mike's got a tool to make it easy though. Download the kernel & ramdisk (6.0.0) rar file and the ROM, put the ROM.zip on your SD Card as you normally would, but extract the kernel rar file to any folder on your PC. There are instructions in there on what to do and essentially the tool does everything for you.

Boot your phone into fastboot, connect to your PC, run the batch file, then head straight into recovery, take a backup and flash your ROM.

Seem ok?
 
Okay, just flashed ARHD 6.0.0 yesterday, been using the phone for a day now, and have not noticed any memory loss. Not even when I mount it as disk drive onto my PC using a USB. So I guess that fixes the problem :)
