I've flashed the XtreStoLite ROM, which claims to be reduced to ~1gb but my system partition remains over 4gb in size, is this normal, or did I do something wrong?

I have LEO T8585, and when i flash Android 4.0.3. NAND (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354267) i have only 100MB for apps. I tried this HD2 Android NAND toolkit to make partition bigger but no luck.
No matter what size i choose i'll get same size for downloaded apps - 100MB.
Im not total noob flashing NAND ROM-s , but do i miss something?
Or is it possible to make this partition bigger?
Thanks
First, the space shown as available doesn't include the system, boot or cache partition size, only the data partition size, and since during flashing, the data partition size is set to be whatever is left over after the rom is flashed, the only way to increase data size is by reducing the system partition size, , but then of course the rom wouldn't fit (because you flash the system partition to be only fractionally larger than the size of the system folder contents, if you flashed a larger system partition, the extra space would be wasted, unused by anything, example put a rom requiring 150mg onto a 250 Meg layout and you lose 100mb)
Secondly, if you set up an ext partition on the SD card, the rom will consider that internal memory BUT (on most roms) wont show it on the available internal storage calculation, but it WILL use it as internal.
third, the 4.x roms are still beta, and vary as to sizes required, whether they have ap2sd+ built in or whether you need to manually install and configure it. If you are looking for a rom you can keep as a daily for a while, wait until 4.x is a few more betas along.
Thanks!
Thats what i thougt. I made minimal part. 190MB and got 100 extra. My ext. on SD is 1024. For now its ok. And this 4.0 beta 10 it is very nice ROM, looks stable and smooth on HD2.
There is a huge thread on how to move data from the System partition to the SD, but I think it is still not very clear (at least to me) why the system partition gets so full when installing new modern ROMs on the HD2. Every installation guide starts with partitioning in clk or magldr. For instance, the HexusHD2 ICS ROM has to have at least 170mb system partition. I made it 300 just to be sure and android says I have a total of 105mb internal storage. (I barely have place to install new apps, since android takes around 75mb of those 105mb)
My question is what is what is the relation between the system partitioning in clk and the size I get after the ROM is flashed. Will i have more storage if I partition clk to a greater figure- 450mb? ...or will it be vice versa?
thanks

You've got it completely the wrong way around, the /system partition is where the actual OS is installed, so the smaller the /system partition, the greater the internal storage which remains, which is thus usable for apps.
Smaller partition = more storage.
I am just curios is it posible to repartition out NAND memory to make our system smaller and our data bigger because custom roms for our phone are lot smaller in size then our factory rom.So we have 1gb trapped in system partition so is it posible to partition it like that so we transfer that gb to data?
Hello Everyone
I'm user redmi 2 1gb variant
i want to change my system partition, and i use file 1,5GB Partition @jsidney96
, i click partition.bat, and it works, my system partition change to 1.5gb, but after i flash rom Lineage OS, Viper OS, Validus.. my system partition change to default size.. and i try to repair partition on twrp wipe menu, and no changes has made,... can you help me to fix my problem? or are you have a recommendation rom for resize partition?
Thank You

because your rom using raw system partition dump from smaller system partition size

Ohhh..,, thanks
when flashing a custom ROM if the ROM requires less space than stock ROM then if it can decrease the size of system system partition then a lot of unused system space can be shifted to as internal storage . I am using a custom ROM with aroma gapps and out of the 3 Gb system partition only 1.5 GB is used and i am only getting about roughly 9 Gb of free space. If there is anything i must notice then please elaborate... but it will be nice to see if system partition gets resized dynamically based upon the ROM size it will be better in my opinion
