Hello everyone! Yesterday, I tried to flash the new ICS CM9 and I did it. It is laggy and I can t install GAPPS.Then i saw that my system partition is 160 mb instead of 215 (recommended).
So, how can I change my system partition from 160 to 215 ? (I tried some TPT Gen2 tutorials, but nothing).
Thanks!

ok first go to market and download tpt helper.
then choose make your own tpt fill chache as 20 mb system(dont make it less it is recommended to use 20 mb on ics) as 210 mb(or as per ur choice but not less) and rest will be system.then click ok.
it will download the tpt and edit it accordingly.then check it it should have from the app there should be 10/12 matches.
then reboot.
press menu+power+vol up then green text fill flash and tpt will start on its own.
if there is a error at 99% down worry wait and then it will be success.
u r done.
just remember to have a rom on your sd.
there will be other options like choosing splash screen, recovery etc choose accordingly in the app.
u can even use your nandroids.
remember to delete image folder from sd after flash to prevent flashes by mistakes.
u r done enjoy
thanks saaransh9 i also want this info, voted up
sorry, but my number of matches is 1/1 .It is all right?

When u set your partitions does it says finished if yes then it should be ok.
Or just TPT with the 220mb system partition version, reinstall your rom and you're done

Hi to all, I am new at all this android stuff, so I hope you won't laught, but I have few questions.
1.Is there a way to change size of partitions without flashing new rom?
2.How big the partitions should be (System, Data, Cache) ?
According to "Blade Checker" I have European ZTE Blade 512MB, Gen2 phone, also it said that I have to use image.bin style TPTs.
Curent partitions are:
System 220MB
Data 160MB
Cache 37MB
It is running CM 7.1 stable mod and Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2.0
Thanks in advance, and I am sorry if I posted at a wrong place.

1. No,you cannot.
2.Your partition size is more than enough for any new ROM's. Minimum System partition size varies accordings to different ROM's. Minimum data is according to your needs for app storage. Minimum cache is 20mb,but keep in mind you can't download anything from market/play over 20mb. So cache decides your temporary market storage.

I have only 20-25Mb left on data partition, that's what bugs me.
Was thinking maybe to increase Data prtition or maybe install 4GB class 10 sd card I have and try to make EXT partition on it, 2GB I have now seems a bit slow for that.
Would one of thos things help?
Thanks.

You better get a 4 or 8 Gig card. Class 4 should do actually.
You've tried A2SD right?

No, actually I didn't tried A2SD, I think, I am using App 2 SD, free version, but I assume that's not the same, also I think that my card has only one partition.
As I said, am new to all of this.
Sorry for bothering you and I really appreciate the help.
Thanks, again.

A2SD gives u lots of space. I have a 4 gig SD card with a 1 gig partition and I've 300 apps installed
Here's how u do it
-backup ur SD card
-boot into recovery
-select advanced
-partition SD card
-select size. recommended 1gb
-select swap size as 0. Select 32 if u use it for gaming
-reboot
-install s2e
-check all four boxes
-reboot
-start installing apps
(Tested with gingerbread roms)

If you changed your partition sizes, your rom and all your data would be wiped. If you made a backup before, you could restore it afterwards as long as it could fit in the new sizes (eg. if your rom took up 160MB in system just now, and you changed system to 170MB then it would fit so you could restore it, same for other partitions).
Size for the partitions depends on what rom you are wanting to install. Some like Swedish Snow can fit in 128MB system, others like the ICS ones need ~180MB or bigger.
As your current layout is big enough for any rom out now, you'd be better making an ext partition on your phone and using that. S2E from Google Play works well with CM7 and lets you move most, if not everything, on the data partition to the ext partition. Its usually best just to move apps, but it means you can have loads of space. You can choose the size of ext partition depending on how big your sdcard is and how much space you need.

2MB is the minimum for cache. You can redirect the market downloads to data/ext partition/somewhere else, so you can download any app you like. Most roms do this automatically if your cache partition is small. By making it bigger than 2MB, you are either wasting the extra space if its still small enough to be redirected, or you are restricting the size of apps you can download if its too big to be redirected.

I stated 20mb as minimum because Tilal recommended 20mb for ColdFusion and I would rather change partition sizes once than doing it repeatedly.

Well, I did few things.
I did what QuantumFoam suggested, partitioned my old 2GB card that was already in phone, created EXt partition of 512MB, to try if it work. I'we made backup on PC, but when I rebooted few of apps I had on sd desapeared, also all my music, pictures, wallpapers and other stuff.
Question I have now is should I copy all the things from PC back to SD and where.
Thanks all of you guys for helping me and having so much patience with me.

That's because ColdFusion didn't have the redirect script added yet. If you add that, then 2MB is fine for it as well.

I think creating the ext partition formats the whole card. If you plug your phone into your pc and turn on usb storage, you should see it appear with ~1.5GB space. You can copy all the stuff back onto there and it should work again. You might have to reinstall the apps that were moved to the sdcard, don't know if just copying them back will work.

I did that, reinstalled few apps and it works, thx.
Have one more question, if you all don't mind
I know that these questions sound stupid, but as I said, I'm new to all of this and have a strong will to learn.
Is it possible to switch this card with bigger one I have, without flashing ROM again?
If it is, I would apritiate If someone could point me to some guide, because I presume it is not easy task and I think I bothered you enought already.
If it isn't possible, can I then format new card on my PC,copy ROM on it, partition it from CM recovery and then install ROM and all of the apps?
Thx again
Hi all,
since our LG g2 cannot be expanded with an SD-card we need to be a little economical with our RAM. What strikes me first after I have installed stock Lollipop is almost 6 GB of System Data! as others can confirm, too
https://plus.google.com/110755903363479437680/posts/YutRB8owtRb
Is there a possibility to reduce this?
Regards,
Gregor

There's no 6GB of system data, there's probably just a couple of gigabytes. There is, however, a 6GB partition reserved for the system. This means that the only way to "empty" up the space from this partition is to re-partition the device (move parts of the /system/ partition into /data/), which is, as far as I know, impossible under a locked bootloader.

Thank you Choristav - when you are right I will set this thread to solved. Can anybody confirm / disagree?
Well, I have the Cube i10 Android/Windows Tablet. Nice thing, except maybe the space for the Android OS being a bit too small.
I managed to upgrade my Windows 10 to 10586 and with seperate language pack, it back in my language.
Now i looked around the internet, if I could change the predefined space for either System. (It is possible to increase the partition size of the Andorid OS, but it requires a re-flashing, which I don't neccessarily want. In windows disc-management i saw all the partitions given for android etc, but did not dare to touch something as it was shown in RAW-format. Now i installed a "real" partitioning program (Paragon Partition Manager 15) and it shows me the "real" informations.
Total disk: 28.9 gb (which sums up to ~32gb advertised)
- then a lot of small (5x 16 and 3x 64 and 1x 32mb) GTP partitions, no label, all hidden (i expect these to be android Dalvik, recovery and cache partitions)
- then 4x Linux ext4 partitions (16mb, partially full, 1gb, hardly full, 256mb, half full another almost full 1gb partition) don't know what these are, also all hidden
- then a 3GB Linux ext4 partition (which surely represents the ROM from the Android part, with exact taken/free space data from android)
- then - my problem - a 128mb GPT-Volume, which i can't move
- then the 22.7gb Windows Partition (is resizeable)
- and last, a 450mb hidden backup/windows recovery partition
my problem is, that i can't move the 128mb GPT-Volume. So even if i can split ~2-3gb off the Windows partition, it stays after the GPT volume but it has to be before that to be merged with the android 3gb to make it bigger. I read around that you can delete the GPT-partitions, but don't want to risk it. I "could" merge my 3gb Linux partition with any of the 4 other partitions, but as all of those are not empty, i expect them to be some system recovery backup or whatever. Any information?
I'm afraid that you have to do repartitioning with android flasher and then reinstall Windows too.

sad, i was afraid that it would be able by editing the partition.tbl file in the rom. Well then i have to stay with the few space i got.
