I suspect you've got a few full (i.e. from CWM) backups stored on the internal drive. THose suckers take at LEAST 1 gig for each backup point.

Also, you might try deleting the actual rom image files from your device, since they're not needed after flashing.

Finally, try searching the app store for a disk usage analyzer to help you track down the bloat. There are a few decent free ones out there.

i had a similar issue..my actual sd card that i could take in and out was labeled as "internal" and viceversa. so to get into my actual cd card i would have to go into the "internalsd" folder instead of the external..so try that, maybe yours got switched. im sure your 16gs is still at least half way empty. i dont remember what i did to reverse this affect but i think it just fixed it on its own i cant remember.

connect to computer windows 7

Make sure debugging is unchecked(applications>development>usb debugging)otherwise the computer will not reconize the unit

You flashed ICS Crumble, which is AOKP based. I'm thinking you're suffering from a known code issue that switches the storage locations on your device. So, in a file explorer you'll notice that what was "external" on stock ROM is now registered as "internal", and what was registered as "internal" on stock ROM is now listed as "external" on ICS ROMs.

I attached a patch for it here. It's a patch that you flash in recovery. So, put it in an easily navigable directory.

By the way, not sure if you know, or not, but ICS Crumble is a really old ROM and Reuben is not developing it any more. If you want something more recent, I recommend Supermaster34's CM9 or Remics-UX (Samsung touchwiz look-alike). Also, we have some amazing devs in this forum that are working on a kernel 3.x and Jelly Bean build for our device (5.0). That could hit beta stage in the near future.

I'm glad that I could help. I gotta give credit where it's due. The patch I attached is something Reuben, the developer of ICS Crumble, added to patch the storage issue. I keep a copy of the patch handy for those who need it.

CWM refers to ClockWorkMod. CWM is just another name for recovery mode where you flashed that patch. CM9 refers to Cyanogenmod 9 which is a modified build of Google's open-source Ice Cream Sandwich code. CM10 refers to Jelly Bean, but our developers are still working on a kernel 3.0 and a stable build for our devices. AOKP, which I mentioned earlier, is similar to CM9 with some subtle differences.

If you search the Galaxy Player's development forum with the phrase "CM9" you should see some current ROMs. Right now, a developer by the name of Supermaster34 has some awesome ICS builds for the SGP 5.0. I highly recommend his work.

As for the storage issue and patch, you'll probably have to flash that patch every time you flash a new ICS ROM. Because, when you flash a ROM, you usually need to format the system and do a data wipe. But, the only way to be 100% sure is check your directories with a file explorer after flashing a new ICS ROM. (Also, always remember to backup your current ROM before flashing a new one!)

Edit:

Here is the link for the ROM I use from Supermaster34's.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679957
Just go to the OP (Original Post) of this thread and follow the instructions. If you look in the "extras" section, you'll see the Bluetooth patch there too. You flash the ROM and the Bluetooth patch in recovery mode. If you have a USA model, skip the step for the home button fix. Good luck.

In all of my ICS ROMs I've already swapped the memory locations around so you won't need to flash the swap storage patch. Personally I'd recommend RemICS-UX over my CM9 ROM as its got more features and I usually update it more often, but it does have a Samsung like ui so not everyone like it
