[Q] How create/make bigger app partition Android 4.0.3

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.

Partitioning HDD on Multi-OS system.

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.

resizing system partition??

On my axon 7 the guys putting together LOS have I believed shrunk system partition down from 6gb to 3gb. Is something like this possible on my old trusty S4? I ask as after installing LOS 14.1 Nightlies it leaves me with not slot of storage left.
Yes I know it's 16gb and I could add an SD card but I thought I would ask that's all. If we could reduce the system size in file explorer from around 5gb it shows to something less that would be awesome.
Cheees

Ok so read through it again and lineage on the axon 7 is only to use 3gb out of the 6gb partition.
Guessing no way to shrink partition sizes down then.
Cheers

Samsung J3 (2016) - internal memory almost full - who's using it?

I've got an almost fresh and empty J3 (2016) with stock Android 5.1.1
One of my friends has been complaining about low internal memory warnings.
So I installed TWRP and got it rooted.
It shows the following:
System memory - 7,02 GB
Used space - 664 MB
Available space - 310 MB
And when I do a TWRP backup, it says - ok, system partition is approx 1.4 GB, data 800 MB. In total, full system backup is slightly more than 2 GB.
Where did the rest 6 GB of internal memory go?
Mind you, there is *no* pictures, no video, no apps, nothing.
Wiped cache/dalvik.
But 5 or 6 gigs are still missing. Whats wrong with this picture?
Maybe there's a hidden partition? Can you give me a hint how to visualize ALL internal memory, all available partitions? And possibly kill and resize the useless ones.
I'd greatly appreciate it!

friend, delete all the parts by twrp and install the stock by odin again that solves

What's using all the storage on SM-P580?

I have a Galaxy Tab A (SM-P580) with 16GB of storage. Device Maintenance > Storage says I'm using 14.8GB of storage, but if I add up the User Data categories (documents, apps, etc.), it's less than 4GB. How do I determine what's using all the unaccounted for storage? I wiped the cache partition, thinking the used storage might change a little, but it didn't. I'm on Android 8.1. Does Oreo duplicate the system partition to do seamless updates as I've read other devices do?
