I was trying to analyze my phone’s storage through Filelight, but it just gets frozen after I select the phone’s folder. I didn’t find anything in Bugzilla regarding this problem.
Is the protocol supported at all in the app?

In my experience mtp (especially on Linux) stops working if you look at it wrong, so probably not. Perhaps kde connect’s folder view works?
I’d run gdu in termux on the phone though.

Haha, that may be, I’ve never done anything aside from just moving and copying files with it luckily, so I don’t really know.

Interesting idea, I should try that!

Ooo, you just unlocked a fabulous CLI tool for me that I didn’t know about!
Does it work on the whole phone storage? I remember there being a symlink (?) to the user’s home in Termux’s folder, but I’m wondering if it’ll leave something outGdu doesn’t follow folder symlinks and can’t scan what it doesn’t have permission to (like system folders and other apps) but if you cd to internalstorage it can scan that
Makes sense
I tried Filelight with my phone connected through KDE Connect and I can confirm that it works!
That’s actually awesome!
Could you just use the built in android tool?
There’s a built-in tool?
Its under settings -> storage
Oh, that. It’s true that it’s similar and it’s not bad either, but I really like the kind of insight Filelight gives, with its folder sunburst view especially. It’s more complete, since it shows everything, not just what it thinks I should get rid of.
Disky, mentioned by others, is the closest to that, as far as I’ve seen. It’s really good and you can have the same experience on it regardless of the ROM you’re using, since it’s just a normal app instead of a vendor dependent system app
