I am wondering is it posible to make a script or a tool that woud repartition system and userdata partitions.I saw this on.my (really) old HTC Nexus One via Blackrose method.I am wondering since custom roms are much smaller in size than factory firmware is it possible to move 1.1 gb in system partition to userdata partition.It would be nice to hear from developers.
I attached a screenshot as an ilustration for what i am talking about.My phone is full and is really frustrating to see 1GB of free space going to waste

i have installed coredroid for the hd2 useing the great tool kit.. one thing i have incountered is i can not use a custom partition over the max 445mb. the US version can use 1024mb internal rom and 512 ram anyway to work around this or am i looking at this wrong...

I don't see why you would need a larger partition but an easy solution is to go to the HD2 CWM thread and download the latest version, then within the downloaded folder open the file flash.cfg (not flash.cfg.txt) and change the system partition to your desired size, then flash through daf.exe

to explain, in case you didn't realise, , making the system partition bigger than that rom requires is pointless, since the system doesn't store anything in the system partition, except the system. The data partition (and sd-ext of in use) is where all your apps and data get installed. If you make your system partition 100mb bigger, for example, your internal storage will actually go down by 100meg.
When you partition, the data partition is set to 'allsize', meaning it will take up however much space is left after the boot/cache/recovery partitions are created.
When you look at the available internal storage space in settings, it ONLY shows you the space in your data partition, nothing else, which is why it will never show 1024mb, more like 800mb for a cm rom, or 550mb for a sense rom.

thanks for the info.. sorry for the delay in the reply
I have a small affair since CM resized the partitions, and some questions haunt me.
The system partition of my phone is in the initial format 600MB and 1.3 GB for data. As everyone will know CM changed partitions to 400MB and 1.5GB of data.
Approach: I would like to have a ROM of Ginger for sporadic use of the camera and any other issues with Nandroid saved. I understand that this requires the old system partitions that i have, and kk for regular use with current system partition, copied also with Nandroid.
The issue is if when move from one to another from the corresponding copies saved from the recovery also restores the size of the partitions or not.
If not, is it absolutely necessary to have the partitions on the current format of CM for KK?, What problems can be if left to the native format 600MB, 1.3GB?
Regards
Note: Edited to better understanding, sorry for my poor english.
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.
Has anyone been able to successfully resize the system partition? Running Lineage there's well over a free GB and would be cool to move it to the data partition if possible.

Sorry There Is No Tool Available For Our Samsung Galaxy S5 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171531) Oh This Is The Only Tool I Found But Its Not For Our Samsung Galaxy S5, If You Are Brave Enough Then Use This One , I Don't Recommend You To Do That (At Your Own Risk)

So Its Might Be Possible Using The Tool I Gave You , But Don't Go Use It , We All Have A Free GB In The System Partition And We Want To Move It To Data Partition, So That Means Its Not Only You Who Want The Answer To Do That , So In My Opinion Its Impossible . Sorry:crying:
As I'm sure you all know, OnePlus 8 pro is a bit of a special case. We don't have twrp, so I can't partition that way, and we don't have parted in the terminal and I can't quite figure out how to install it. What I wanna do is add like 2gb to the system partition, does anyone know how?
Add 2gb for what exactly? You can't extend the partitions on the device itself. Normally you want the system partition as small as possible to free up more storage, but put simply if you want to extend the partition you would have to flash a system.img that has been extended.
This however would be pointless because having extra free space in the system partition does nothing as nothing writes to system outside of a software update.

Flashing extra stuff my dude, there's plenty of reasons to extend your partition, and that's an extremely roundabout way to do it
Like i mentioned earlier, theres parted and fdisk, I'm just looking for usage commands or syntax, not reasons not to do it.

Well you actually CAN extend system partition, my nexus 7 2013 and a lot of older devices have ways to do this. My nexus 7 2013 has 1.6gb of system partition so it can flash a11 ROMs.

Latest OnePlus 8 pro fork of twrp is not working for me, that's the first thing I tried but unfortunately i can't even seem to do adb commands or mount a partition
