I do not think I done a stock flash, that did NOT have this memory issue, so would strongly suggest to either always do the reset, or at the least make a check, part of the installation procedure

Thanks, this is info that's good to know, if I ever go back to stock. Currently giving LOS 22.1 a chance. Although it is eating away at the battery almost as fast as 22.2... 🤦‍♂️

If you get the 8GB number, factory reset.  I believe that corrects the problem.  It happens from time to time, but not often, as I recall. It's always a good idea to check after  flashing.

I have flashed the Stock, with GMS, file several times and it worked successfully every time. This is a great tool and guide. However, Stock with GMS only leaves 8GB free storage in Android. Some of which is occupied by the GMS apps. I was surprised to see the "low storage" warning after a few hours of use and few apps installed! I am not sure about the non-GMS Stock, I did flash it but did not take note of storage space. If I'm not mistaken it's a reduced storage as well. Flashing LineageOS exposes 240GB of free storage. What gives? Has anybody faced this same issue?

Yesterday when I wanted to switch from LineageOS 22.2 to 22.1, I foolishly performed a factory reset/data wipe on LineageOS22.2 Recovery before removing the Google account I had logged on to on 22.2 with MindTheGapps. Now, if I flash MindTheGapps, I cannot login to my google account on the phone -- it fails. I can use the phone if I flash an OS without GMS. But then I cannot st the PIN/screen-lock. I suppose something is amiss on the persist partition? I do have the backup which I took before logging in to Google. Is there still no trustworthy method for flashing the persist backup? Thanks   EDIT: solved this by installing the factory, GMS backup via qdl (as in here, can also be done via QFIL); signing on to Google on the stock firmware; removing the Google account from the phone on Stock; then, flashing LineageOS.
