No space to write anyting to system 6.0 - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/rom-size-rooted-6-0-t3219852 and its seems to me that im not the only one with only 16mb of space left in the system partition (after busy box). This pretty much denies me to do anything like edit build.prop to get the multiwindow feature, or to write GSam battery monitor root app to system (even though these take up mere bytes/kbytes of data, 16mb is not enough).
Just putting it out there. Im not sure if im the only one who has trouble actually manipulating the system partition, or is it just me. But when i use lets say, ES File manager to edit the build.prop (in root mode) and all i do is ad 5 letters to the whole thing (d e b u g) ES file manager will tell me it cant save it because there is no space in system.
Ive tried messing with permissions to see if i could override to no avail, and tried using twrp but it doesn't offer me any options to do so.
So how are we gonna solve this now?

There are plenty of apps that you can use, titanium backup works well. Probably googling "delete system app Android" or something along those lines will bring up plenty of results

hows it in ukraine today? a buddy of mine went to kiev yesterday for two weeks, and i was born in lviv
anyways, download a root file exploree, i use root explorer. then go to /system/app/ and delete want you dont want, then reboot for it to take affect. you can install whatever google apps from the play store instead
wait, youre in south carolina

Yeah man I'm in US, so far I hear it's a mess and no one knows what's up. More interestingly is what is Russia doing in Syria lol.
Alright I'll try titanium back up see what I can do.
Edit:
I wasn't actually born in Ukraine. Parents were tho

Think about it for a minute.
You have 16mb free and that prevents you from editing build prop?
How characters are what, 8bits? How many lines are you adding to go over that 16mb.
Something else is obviously the problem. That's not to say the 16mb free thing won't also cause issues when you go to install something to to system... But its not what is preventing your edits to build.prop, considering you could copy that file several times over with that space.
R/W privilege seems finicky for now, and requires kernel support. I've read at least one other post about build prop edit failures where even rooted with a custom kernel it didn't work. I know it will on Benzino, sure there are others, and everyone else will catch up eventuality.

I've seen a few people trying to install small mods (couple of MB) but only had 16 MB free and it wont let them. Clearing more space (get to about 64 MB Free) and you should be able to do anything with small files, but ideally you would have more. 16 MB does seem to be the problem point though.

Can you open a terminal, request su privileged, then do a "touch /system/test"?
If not, its not free space. It does not take 16mb to write a plain text file that is 4.62kb in size. Try a different kernel (I KNOW Benzino works), I wrote to my build.prop yesterday with out clearing any space.

Android does not let you write down to 0 bytes free

It will let you write lower then 16mb. Because I just did it.
That's why I said use the touch command to test, it creates a 0kb file.
There have been multiple reports of "not enough space" being fixed with an updated supersu, and a kernel with the proper modifications needed for r/w and root on M. (Take a look at the lean kernel thread posts from this morning. Exact same issue. "Not enough space" till he updated supersu, older version of supersu worked with certain kernels)

I just Removed Sheets and Docs which come with the stock rom and i got like 70 MBs of free space , enough for me to do my job but I prefer it was a little more in the beginning.

I deleted all Google Apps that I knew I could find on the play store using titanium and reinstalled from the store. Freed all that I'll ever need. Course I'll have to reflash the system partition before updating.

Don't delete the google camera app. Even though I have another camera app, I removed the Google camera and was stuck in a bootloop.

I just did a clean install of MM and I am running into this issue with AdAway. I have disabled/uninstalled Play Books, Movies and TV, Newstand, Keep, and Sheets.
I believe I have ROOT set up properly because I have other apps utilizing it privileges. Only one not working is AdAway 3.1
How much more do I have to uninstall?

disabling doesnt remove them. deleting them removes them(or moving them to user space).

"disabled/uninstalled" are two very different things. Disabling the apps does not free any space, uninstalling them will.

Non Market Apps Solved

This is a pretty easy process. I went in to Root Explorer - dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings, copied settings.db to my sd card, edited it on my pc with a db editor changed 0 to a 1 next to non market apps. Copied it back to the original directory, rebooted and installed a non market app.
Please use caution. If you want to make sure the db save properly open it on your sd card before you copy and replace the original. It should open up as a readable table. If it opens up in a txt editor its corrupt. This permanently enables non market apps. You can not toggle it on and off.
I will try and post pictures soon.

Does it mean th after this you are able to install any 3rd party application with no restrictions?
Thanks
You can actually do it through firefox too. There's a firefox addon called 'SQLite manager' that you can use to edit the file, if you don't want to download a separate program.
Root Explorer is the pay program on the market? Any free alternitives?
Are you just trying to install non-market apps on the Captivate? If so, then just download the usb driver for the Captivate and then Droid Explorer (may also need SDK installed; not sure). With Droid Explorer, you can easily load non-market apps within seconds. Good solution for a non tech guy like me.
Being brand spanking new to Android, still have question. I like very specific instructions.
Do you download files to whatever directory you want to make and put the files in? Then is there an option to select, and do install? My background is WinMO, so on that you can just use a file explorer and double click or tap, and it installs.

So if I installed "PDAnet" for tethering it will work after rooting?
Thanks for the answer
PDA Net will work without rooting. Just put your phone on airplane mode and enable wifi. Go to the market and download it. Once it is downloaded you can turn off airplane mode and you're good to go.

Where do you see the 0, the one you recommend to change to a 1? I only see lots of squares.
So... Thank you so much for this info. I downloaded your file and put it into the correct DIR and have non market apps installing with no problem. However I can not get Titanium backup to work correctly. =/ When I try to restore an app it says installing and I have to force close titanium to get it to stop. Probably about half the apps I try and do this for install the other backups do not. Is any one else having any issues like this or know how to fix it?

When into this dir dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings and cant find any files. Using linda
I used this DB editor instead
http://sqlitestudio.one.pl/index.rvt
connect to the settings.db file, on the left side click Tables, and then click Secure. It will show a grid on the right with _id, name, value etc. Click the Data tab, in the search box type market. And there should be only one value that shows up as "install_nonmarket_apps". Set the value to one. Refersh it and then copy it back to your phone.

[Q] Thought I understood new file-system structure

Hi guys,
I recently upgraded from 4.1 using TWRP 2.6.3.0
It was my understanding that this latest TWRP supported the newer Android file system. After the upgrade, I can see that my SDCARD has moved to the '0' directory, great.
But, now when I make new backups in TWRP, I can't see them anywhere, but from within recovery. I have searched the whole file system for "2013-12" but see only the last backup before the upgrade.
Any help would be appreciated!

Using Root Explorer, go from root to data/media/0 and scroll down to TWRP. Your new backups should be in place there.
Same vein. Why do I also have a TWRP folder with a backup under Main Storage? Can I delete one folder and gain 3gb back?

Weird, so TWRP actually created a directory here: \data\media\TWRP
In the \data\media\0\TWRP directory, are my old backups.
Should I move the stuff from the later, to the former?
Are there any other steps to take to consolidate data, and make sure there are no duplicate files? My free space seems very low, compared to what it should be.

Check that folder before deleting, it may have backups from a previous ROM setup, such as a 4.2 or 4.1 set up. Don't want to delete stuff you may decide you want later.

It depends on what you are running now(4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4) and whether or not your 'old' backups would have any use for you. For example, I always keep a duplicate of my stock setup (out of the box stock) in that old folder just in case. If you decide to run an out-of the-box stock ROM i.e. 4.1.2, you will access your 'old' TWRP location. If you dump everything there, you'll be unable to access your current backups. Also, if you get yourself into a situation where you have either on purpose or by accident booted recovery to a former version, you won't be able to access your 'new' location. In that case, you'd be stuck sideloading or RUU-ing. Neither option is the end of the world, but to me convenience is everything. So, plan accordingly. If none of this makes any difference to you, and the extra space is important, do whatcha gotta do. :highfive:

Thanks BMP.
I'm on 4.4 at the moment, with the CM11 nightlies. I may go back to a Sense ROM, but probably sticking to 4.3+.
I'm really not a fan of how the built-in storage is handled on these phones. Having windows mount it as a "media device" instead of a proper removable drive, really limits how you can interact with it. I've had all sorts of issues just trying to copy all the "SD card" data to my computer.
Is there any way to get windows to see this space? I'd like to at least be able to back up these new backups.
For me, whichever file structure I'm in for that rom shows up on my 7setup. I ve never had a problem getting at the current one,only the one not in use.

2 Different scenarios
1. You will have a folder named oat and a file named SamsungCamera6.apk under /system/priv-app/SamsungCamera6 in that case backup the entire folder system/priv-app/samsungcamera6 to your sdcard , delete the apk and folder from /system/priv-app/SamsungCamera6, then copy the modified apk over to system/priv-app/Samsungcamera6/ renaming it to SamsungCamera6.apk
2. You will have a file named SamsungCamera6.apk under /system/priv-app/SamsungCamera6 in that case backup the apk to your sdcard , delete the apk from /system/priv-app/SamsungCamera6, then copy the modified apk over to system/priv-app/Samsungcamera6/ renaming it to SamsungCamera6.apk
Download at bottom of this post
(Name scheme is as stated)
D#-This is date swaped around
H#-This is the bitrate of Hyperlapse
S#-This stands for all slowmotion bitrate
After that set the permissions (id recommend checking the original apks permissions before u delete it)
Reboot, (see if the app even shows up), then try recording 4k, it's around 21 minute record time with stock internal storage, with the 256GB sdcard it should be much more

Doenload that link and see if it works. If it doesn't do the following:
1. Delete the samsungcamera folder under priv-app
2. Create a folder named SamsungCamera6 under system/app/
3. Copy that SamsungCamera6.apk i linked in this comment
4. Set permissions
5. Go into applications and clear data under camera
Now with a empty phone and no sdcard u should have around 20 min record time

I had this problem the other day after a reboot but clearing dalvik cache (delete everything in the data/dalvik/ folder) brought it back. I think because i signed the apk incorrectly. This will be fixed soon. Only thing so far is to not reboot the phone.

I'm fiddling with my new s20 FE, I needed to manually add folders to My Files in 'Android /Data' to transfer data from a game (which I've done before on other devices) However, when connecting S20 to PC I can access all files and copy/paste into place, BUT on my phone none of these files will show up (No Files) and the game is not responding to the data I added.
Also tried through DeX and files don't show. Hidden files is checked and developer mode is on. Any ideas?

You can't access /data partition without root or custom recovery.
@XDHx86
You can access the partition with selected file managers, e, g, Total Commander.

Didn't know that, thanks for info. But does it actually work read and write /data without root?

Well here is your solution buddy, you updated to 11 yet? I don't know if it's available to 10 since this is new info to me.
You can try Solid Explorer too. It is excellent and you can have access to android data and obb.
Thx Ill look at those options!

Did you figure out how to transfer over the data with total manager apk? Mine won't allow a copy and paste

From the the site homepage it says it only supports accessing /data partition from android 11, so i think it shoul only work on android 11 as i said.
Have you tried this? It doesn't need root.
sounds like Total Commander have decided to copy LCG's X-plore with the two panel windows.
all decent file browsers have been able to access storage/0/emulated/Android/data the whole time and micro SD equivalent too.
it's only with android 11 that google's new security layer has removed that access for SDcards. their new security has also made the file system 6 times slower in copying or moving files etc. hopefully OEMs will pressure google to fix it.

I believe you misunderstood the topic of the thread. We're discussing the possibility of accessing /data partition without root permission on android 11, even with scoped storage security feature. You can read about it the the link in the 3rd post above.
I never heard about google forbidding access to sdcard from apps, can you elaborate?

I think I understood OK, changes to the file system include no longer accessing Android/Data. that's not the data partition as far as I'm concerned, it's still accessible from internal storage but not from external.

Question Smart View not working

Ever since I updated to the latest firmware (magisk rooted) my Galaxy Tab S8+ can no longer use Smart View or second screen. It worked fine on the previous firmware version even when rooted.
I've seen a suggestion to add "wlan.wfd.hdcp = disable" to the build.prop file, but I can't seem to edit build.prop even using a root explorer, or not even by using the twrp file manager. I've tried using various buildprop editors, granted them root access yet they still don't seem to be able to change anything in the file.
Is there any other possible fix?
The open source Material Files file manager has been repeatedly and highly recommended in my phone's XDA section for true root file management. https://github.com/zhanghai/MaterialFiles
It's also available through F-Droid, and the Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.zhanghai.android.files
A lot of root file manager either haven't been updated (or aren't allowed to be - not sure what the story is) to really do full root file management.
Hope this helps. Note, I've installed this app but haven't really done anything with it yet.
Thanks for suggestion, but even using Material Files I still get the same error. I granted file access permission and root access to the app, I clicked Remount as RW but it still gives me an error saying read-only file system.

That is probably because root permissions have been lost. When you root the device and then flash new update it will usually revoke the root access and you have to re-root again with updated root method. Reason is becuase update affects the root access by reseting it. Since if root method has edited any system files to gain root access then update writes over those files which is why root access becomes revoked.
So my suggestion is to re-root your device and try editing same file again and I bet issue you got will be gone.

I get the exact same thing when I tried to save the modified boot.prop with Material Files, so you're not alone.

I definitely have root access, I granted root permissions to Material Files, but I got the same result when trying to save an edited boot.prop.
@emko7
Edit 1: I just remembered that there is a Magisk Module out there folks have used on Android 12 (at least on the Pixel 6 Pro, which I have) that "emulates" having full root access. i.e. to my understanding, you don't actually do anything permanant to the files that require root, but it effectively acts as if you did. If you edit the boot.prop, technically it doesn't save to the actual original location, but your changed version is remembered and substituted when you boot/reboot.
I haven't re-located what the name of the Magisk Module is - I know it's been mentioned many times in the Pixel 6 Pro section, but I'm not sure if I can come up with the correct search terms to find the posts.
*Some* Android FIle Managers, like my preferred one X-Plore File Manager, makes it look like saving an edited boot.prop worked, but after a reboot I saw that the boot.prop edit clearly wasn't permanent. It's possible and probable that if I just re-loaded the edited boot.prop, I would've seen that my changes weren't saved, either.
Edit 2: After a tiny bit of research, I think it's possible this is the reason full root access doesn't give us r/w access to everywhere is the information presented in this Twitter thread (read the additional comments by Magisk's creator):

How exactly would you disable the "cpu battery limit"?
