I have a 16gb and i'm planning on creating a 4gb partition using minitool (it's the only way i'm comfortable). Just want to know because most of the topics about partitioning always says '1024mb'. Sorry noob here

Nope.. using minitool is more free to create 2nd-4th partition.. for size of course free and depend ur needs.. i forget is there limit in size partition but 4gb is realistic size to 2nd partition with ur 16gb mmc..
Thanks mate. Will try it

your partition size will depend on how you will use it. ext2, ext3, swap etc...
just a little advice, search your purpose and decide.
it depends on what's your partition files system. if you want to create a ext2 parition, it need 512mb to 1024mb; ext3, it needs 300-499mb; or if you want to create a fat/fat32 file system partition, it needs several hundred mb (i cannot remember clear.)
Is there any way to free more space in System ROM? Is it normal to have this much (6mb out of 340mb) free space left when running on Jelly Bean?

You can do this.
Back up your data and go to the recovery and do
1. clear user data
2. clear cache partition
3. clear dalvik cache
If you do this before and still have memory problem then try to move apps to SD card.
BTW how many apps you install in the phone?
I installed JB on virtual partition to get rid of this problem using multiboot. Now my system virtual partition is 600mb. No problem anymore

Why do u need more free ROM? U would need it only if u plan to move some user apps to system apps, nothing else afaik
Hey guys, I have 150+ free mb on my internal storage, though on the system partition I am running out of space. Is it possible to increase the size of the /System partition? I cant find anything through google.
Thanks,
Cotda

Link2SD won't help his system partition much.
Though I'm curious as to how you're running out of system storage, as almost no apps require being put on the system partition.

Trying to flash google voice (with now), on my ICS'sed PLAY. Its about 60mb
For older Samsung phone models, Samsung is locating system apps in preload data to have more memory in system.
Would like to see a developer using preload data in future builds to have more free space in system that results in better performance.
I don't see how having more free space in system could possibly result in better performance...

You are correct.
Moving apps to a /preload partition means that those apps need to be symbolically linked back to the /system partition. The phone will scan the /system partition when it boots up and then will follow the symlinks to the /preload partition.
It may not take a whole lot of time but it will actually take slightly longer to boot up.

So I'm trying to get BB Apps on my OP2, So far I have the KB, Hub, Launcher, Camera, This requires me to put files in the /system partition, it's currently 2.72 GB filled out of the 2.72 GB.
I'm rooted, unlocked obv, running the stock rom.
Is there anyway I can resize the partition?
easy
Of course you have ways to resize any partition on your PC.
You can resize it using your disk management but only when there is unallocated space adjacent to the partition you want to resize. If there is no unallcated space next to the partition, theoretically, you can not complete this action. Because the function of "Extend Volume" is grayed out. Then you can generate one unallocated space from other partitions. However, you are unable to move that unallocated space because Windows built-in disk management has no function of "Move Partition".
But don't be sad. You can turn to a 3rd-party software to perform this task. Many free hardware(according to your computer's type) can be searched on the website. For example, Partition Assistant, released by AOMEI Tech, has free edition(Standard, for home and commercial use) and paid edition(Professional, Server, for business use).
Banterlel, If it is your personal computer, I suggest you use free version, because it is totally enough.
He's taking about repartitioning the phones internal storage and not the PC:s. However just as you've pointed out, there has to be free space adjacent to the partition you want to make bigger, which in the case of this phone would require to delete the data partition, resize the system partition and it's file system and then re-create the data partition (which means losing all user data/factory restore). Also there might be other consequences by doing this.

Why don't your delete Google apps that can be downloaded from playstore (almost every app)

Nono..only system apps are stored in the /system partition. The gapps are located in the data folder or somewhere else, definitely not the system folder tho.

Not unless you remove them and reinstall. All stock roms and gapps packages install them to system partition
Will do that, thanks a lot, problem solved!

Next time flash a smaller GApps package. The GApps package installs all google apps to the system partition. This saves space on the internal storage (data partition). If you flash a smaller GApps package, you can install the other google apps (excluded from the GApps package) separately through the play store onto the internal storage and saves space on system.
Stock rom bro

Really dangerous operation, you can use in recovery with adb, parted.
I don't recommand you to try it. Send me the Package you want to merge with the main ROM
