I use this procedure when I install a fresh HyperDroid v6.0 ROM to setup an ext4 partition to take full advantage of the Apps2SD functionality.
Format your SD card using SD Formater
In option settings, set up your format for Full (Overwrite) and format size adjustmant to on. This will take awhile depending on the size of your card.

Partition our sd card using Partition Wizard. You can find the free version over at cnet downloads. This is an easy tool to use once you figure it out. I kind of stumbled my way through a few times before I figured it out.
First thing you will want to do is resize your primary storage. Basically I just use the arrow down until I get the size of ext4 partition I'm looking for. In this case I just reduce the size by about 1 gig. What's nice about the Partition Wizard is that it automatically moves the unallocated memory to the back, which is where you want your ext4 partition to be when you are all done.
Once the resize is done, I will now create a new partition for the ext4:
Then I will set up the formats for both partitions; the primary being FAT32 @ 32kb and the second partition being ext4 @ 4kb, also a primary partition. Keep in mind you must label your second partition as sd-ext. If you don't label it, the apps will not move or install to the partition location. You do not have to label your primary storage. Highlight the partition that you want to set the format on and click the format button, then once you've entered what you want your format to be, then hit okay, select the next partition and repeat:
Once that is done, select Apply there on the left hand side. It shouldn't take too long and once you are done you should have something that looks like this:
Now you're ready to install HyperDroid v6.0 with a fully functional ext4 partition.

Hi y'all!
Currently, I'm running CM7 Nightly 177 on my NookColor and I have the custom partition scheme on my NookColor's internal memory. (/data = 2GB & /media 4GB)
I'm recently being troubled by not having enough memory for all of my apps. I have too many, but I don't want to uninstall them so I would like to increase my data partition.
Is there an existing .zip partition scheme that would give me the ff:
OPTION 1:
/data = 3GB
/media = 3GB
or...
OPTION 2:
/data = 4GB
/media = 2GB
Right now, the only ones I was able to find are:
Old NookColor:
/data = 1GB
/media = 5GB
Blue-dot NookColor:
/data = 5GB
/media = 1GB
and
Custom (I'm currently using this one)
/data = 2GB
/media = 4GB.
I've just realized that I don't use the emmc's memory that much so it would be great if I can take some of that unused memory and give it to the /data partition for my apps.
Any ideas?
If I'm correct, this link may help with what you are trying to do. Hope it does!!

If you follow DeanGibons's post linked by NeedaUN... substitute +402 for the +121 in the partitioning commands.
It should give you 3 GB/3GB
I have the original Nook Color (I think...) I have now partitioned it to 2GB data and 4GB media (I think...)
Could someone help me get it to the newer original one? It's 5GB data and 1GB media right? I have a SD-card anyways, and I want to take it back to stock B&N Nook Color. Meaning that it makes more sense with less media... right?

go through all your apps in link2sd and click create link and then link everything to your 2nd partition
you may have to uninstall a few apps first if it comes up not enough storage and then once you have linked your apps you can install them again
if you have already linked apps then you must have an app that uses a hell of a lot of data - you can see what app that could be if you arrange apps in order of data use and then clear data of that app (note any saved settings/progress and so on within the app will be lost)
sometimes some apps misbehave after linking....specially software update thing:what:
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA Free mobile app
The internal memory where user apps are installed is of /data partition.
So freeing up /system partiton is useless...instead u need to b concerned with freeing up /data partition(which is sufficiently free...I guess)
However, extra apps or scripts in /system partition CAN fill up RAM btw:sly:

Have been using the Adoptable Storage feature for a while however I have suddenly reached the dreaded Internal Storage space running out message
As you can see I have 16Gb Internal Storage and a 128Gb SD Card which I have partitioned half of that as Adopted Storage and the other half as Portable Storage

Since my SD Card Adopted has plenty of available space (approx. 50.72GB) where as the Internal Storage has only (750MB) I was expecting that Android would continue using the Adopted storage.
Thinking I had to manually move some of the contents from Internal into Adopted I decided to use the Migrate data
The prompt told me that after the export was completed it would result in freeing up 3.69GB in my device storage.
I'd assume this meant my Internal Storage would gain extra space but instead it was being filled up.
After reading this post from another forum it suggests that the Migrate data does the opposite ie transfer from Adopted back to Internal. Is that right??
From the first image where you see SD card Adopted has 9.11GB used, when you drill down it tells me 13.28GB is used
Then if I choose one of the apps from drilling down Used space eg Word it says its stored in external storage device
When you press Change to have a look it says its in SD card not SD card Adopted.
This makes no sense as I had previously transferred it to Adopted. And when I select Adopted on this screen it still stays as SD Card.
So is this how it is for others?

So i messed up badly...
Really badly...
I finally unbricked my Nexus 7 with the help of nvflash.
Had trouble with mounting /system.
Fixed it.
Locked Bootloader in process of fixing.
Didn't find a solution.
Tried to flash a new ROM.
Formated data, cache and system as f2fs.
Installed ROM from TWRP.
Got message it succeeded.
Rebooted.
No ROM.
So back into recovery.
New problem:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can't load any partition at all.
Can't fix them.
Can't wipe them.
Can't format them.
Tried to reset everything by flashing the blob files again with nvflash.
Finally unlocked the bootloader with this.
But still no storage.
Even internal storage is shown as 0mb.
I fixed the system problem before by using this:
Code:
cat /etc /fstab
make_ext4fs /dev/block/<insert id of system block from fstab here>
But I don't have any of those blocks remaining. So I can't reference anything here.
I guess I have to format the whole drive somehow and repartition it. But I don't know how to do that.
I would really appreciate the help.
I got so far and always do something dumb to create a new problem
EDIT:
Also I just had a look into the filesystem with twrp and I guess I really need to build everything from the ground up. There should be a few more blocks and partitions :/
EDIT 2:
If anyone can run the following 2 commands on a 16GB Nexus 7 and post the output I can try to create the partitions with parted. Would really appreciate it
Code:
cat /proc/partitions
cat /etc/fstab
and if you have parted then
Code:
/parted block/mmcblk0
