Hi!
Is there any way to change partition layout on Motorola Flipout?
Got cache partition sized 128MB which i haven't seen using more than 6 MB.
My data partition would like extra MB on programs.
I'have flashed a lot of roms already but i'am still wondering how the memory works.
My favorites are the roms with Sense from DungPHP.
Now i'am running Coredroid that gives a load of manual options but also crashed unexpectedly.
Why this questions:
Every rom crashes somewhile. To understand how the memory works can help to find the rootcause. That can be application related, or configuration for the partitions, core etc.. Now only the developers know this (should know )
My Phone:
The Phone HD2 HTC LEO (EU) has 512 Mb memory
EXT4 partition of 2 gb
SWAP 256 mb
SD card of 16 Gb, 4mb speed
[*]What kind of memory's are there?
[*]and where are they used for?
To install the Rom we have to give the correct configuration like:
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 175M
cache ya 5M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
So when i have 512mb - 1 - 5 - 175 - 5 = 313 mb left over
[*]Where is the left 313 mb used for?
[*]What is installed on the EXT4 partition?
[*]How much do you need to keep for good performance?
This are a lot of questions and i hope someone can help me to figure it out so we have a usefull tutorial page left over.

1 - 313 would be the userdata partition (allsize). This is the only nand partition which counts towards total internal storage.
2 - depends on the rom, some put user installed apps there, some put apps and dalvik cache, some put the whole data partition there.
3 - doesn't matter, you are talking about rom, not ram,, free rom has no effect on performance.( well, perhaps if every tiny scrap of space is full, but you sound like you meant ram)
You are right RAM has effect on performance.
The problem for me is that i understand lots of fragments of the theory but it is not complete.
Like today i have installed a backup, and later a full installation of a rom on my phone. And this rom was working fine in the past and now the battery lacks and streaming video is not working. Why??
I did a cleanup to factory, and cache and dalvic cache, but it looks like something stayes and is not formatted.
Back to runny. Video works fine now. But the sense is stopping very often due to lack of memory.
Is there a way to improve this?
I removed almost all widgets from main screen but after opening an application it is stooped and needs to be reloaded.

Flash marc 0.1.9 kernel and then add a zram (100mb) script to increase virtual memory size.
I already improved the phone by changing the config from 5/170/5 to 10/180/10. Especially cash was the problem what I think. Till now it worked fine.

Hi,
I just installed miui 6.9.29. Everything is working fine but one thing: the ext3 partition i created in CWM (512 mb, 0 mb swap) does not show up as internal storage. I tried to mount it in CWM, but still no luck . Can someone please help me? I really need more than 115 mb of internal storage, since there is only 23.54 mb available. Pretty stupid actually because i only want about 3-4 apps more..
Please help!
1 - does that rom support a2sd natively? or do you need to apply a script yourself?
2 - it never does show up using the standard system apps to view available storage
yes it does, and i already fixed it by using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26286781&postcount=1
thank you anyways
Ahh it must depend on the rom / script used then.
would it be possible to resize the partitions for this phone so theres more free user space for apps?
Hello, i see the cache partition is 1GB and almost empty while system partition struggle with free space (even though i delete lots of system apps, it should get more free space but doesn't.. Crazy); how do i change these?
