Less than 2Gb free space left on Nexus4 16Gb after installing NetHunter

[Szega]

Hi Guys

I've just installed Nethunter on my Nexus 4 16Gb, and it takes up much more diskspace than is should.
Android Storage shows 5.67Gb total space, 1.66Gb free, and less than 500Mb used by Apps, Pictures, etc...
Could you please help me with that?

Here is what I have:

Any ideas?

Hi Szega.

What version of kali nethunter you have installed, version of Andoroid.
You install by command on linux or gui installer on windows.

Hi Hoan, thanks for helping me!

I've tried two different ways:
At first with the latest windows installer (Kali_v1.2.7.sfx), it was successful,
but the free diskspace was low, and I didn't like the stock KitKat 4.4.4.

After that I cleaned up the whole thing in TWRP (system/data/internal storage/cache),
pushed CM11, gapps, and "kali_linux_nethunter_1.21_occam_kitkat" to the device, and installed them manually.
(The nethunter image is the same as the win installer downloaded)
So for now, I like the CyanogenMod, Nethunter is working, but the free diskspace is even lower than before.
(All image files are gone form /sdcard/ )

I've found a few threads on XDA about 16GB version phones losing half their storage after flashing,
they suggest to do a factory reset, or re-flash everything with fastboot.
I'll give it a go.

SOLVED

I have 10+Gb free space after formatting and reinstalling everything.

Nethunter 1.21 on CyanogenMod11 running fine.

Have a nice day,
