How to resize system partitions on android? - A3000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I recently downloaded and flashed my tablet Lenovo A3000-H with soft from this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-kitkat-4-4-2-v3-0-0-lenovo-a3000-h-stable-version. 3414278 / Everything plays, no problem, but with one "but". The memory is arranged like this:
- Phone memory - 6 MB (!!! Who saw it? !!!!)
- SD card - here I have 64 GB, normal
- System root directory (/) - 2.7 GB
And you see, 6MB - what's that supposed to be ?! I wish it were something like this:
- Phone memory - from 1.5 GB to 1.7 GB
- SD card - no change
- System root directory (/) - somewhere like 1 GB, max 1.5 GB
Can it be done (with root, of course )? PLEASE FOR HELP !!! : D
Greetings

Moving From Program To Storage

hI,
IS THERE A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO MOVE MBs FROM PROGRAMS TO STORAGE?
what do u mean? do you want to move your installed applications in the phone to memory card? nope! it will corrupt i think, you have to uninstall it then re install it. however, some programs which are related to the system (like helmi dialer) will be automatically installed to phone memory....
and if you mean mem as the old 2003 slider for deviding mem between app and storage then no
that vent away when ms made wm5
maybe progs like DOC or flashdisk can merge extended rom with storage if you need more storage
I mean the possibility, having 60 mb for programs and only 3 mb ffor storage, to move for example 10 mb from the first too the last: the situation will become: programs 50mb storage 13 mb.
from where you get 3 mb of storage and aditional 60 mb for programs, in blueangel we have 60 mb storage and 128 mb ram (so called program memory), or maybe you do not have Blueangel device
Please tell us your device and rom version, and you will get advice
anyway storage is flash and as such have a limited nr of write it can take before it dies
if it was used as application ram it would die very! fast
also why is it ppl want so much application ram?
programs take as much ram as they require the fact that there is plenty left dont make them faster at all
free app ram is just empty doing nothing
also BA has 128 MB ram more than most pocketpc's on the market why you need more ?
the problems is i have installed some applications that must be installed on the device; after these operations i stay with the following indications:
storage 3.68 mb (remaining);
programs 60 mb (remaining).
I'll ry 2 applications i found that could zip and unzip automatically all the files (and applications) resident on the device.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW IF I SOLVED THE PROBLEM
success!!!!
SUCCESS!!!
I HAVE USED : POCKET MECHANIC PRO AND MEMMAID.
tHE RESULT AS FOLLOW:
STORAGE USED DECREASED FROM 98% TO 68% WITHOUT UNISTALLING NOTHINGS.an OTHER USEFULL APPLICATION I FOUND WAS swelldisk.
With this one i succeded to increase as follow:
extended rom from 16 mb to 32 mb;
sd card from 2 gb to 4 gb
Swelldisk isn't the best option AFAIK. Try to find in the forum, that was discussed, and few people lost their data from the SD.

Sounds interesting. Can you explain how you did it.
THEY HAVE MANY TOOLS BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IS IN POCKET MECHANICH AND IS CALLED "STORAGE"; IN FEW WORDS YOU CAN CHOOSE A FOLDER/APPLICATION ON THE MAIN STORAGE AND DECIDE TO MOVE TO A SD CARD.
any reference to this original forlder (also registry keys) change their behaviour/pointing action to the new "location"

hello
I have the same prob
I have downloaded the progs you used
I don't know how to increase Storaqge mem. like you did...
Please could you tell me the procedures you followed to do that ?
Cheers
"I don't know how to increase Storaqge mem. like you did...", you can't. You can only reduce usage by careful planning...Install programs to storage card, configure IE cache and temp files to storage card..... Swelldisk only work on external storage.
move the cache and all the avaiable dll to storae card: it works
I found a safe way to achieve the above:
1. Create a folder Sotage Card\ Windows
2. Include this folder name in "path"
3. Freely move any DLLs into this folder from \Windows to Storage Card\Windows
I used SKTools for achieving this. I am not sure which DLLs may be required in original \Windows folder during reflashing ROM, though I had absolutely no problem in reflashing with all DLLs moved, but better to move back system related DLLs back to original path before reflashing.

Cache will be recreated if you move the contents to another location, so you dont achieve any thing, rather waste space on storage card. If you really want to do this, change the registry settings too.
Moving DLLs to another location without declaring location name in "path" is incorrect way.
i tried but i dont know how to Include the folder name in "path"

[Q] Cant copy files to SD card

Hi, I have rooted my Dell xcd 35 using z4root permanent method and am currently running CM7.1 Stable. Since the last two days I am unable to copy anything to my sd card. I have 500 mb free and even a 1mb file refuses to get copied. On my computer it says that 0 gb out of 1.86 gb is free whereas on the phone it reveals that 500 mb is free. Please help.

[Q] Problems of internal memory each time I install new rom

I have the following problem:
Every time I install a rom (in this case, Omega ROM) device ever tells me is less available memory for installing applications (Settings / More / Application Manager) to the indicated I remember about 8 gb free, I currently I have said that only 5'5 gb free. 3'7 gb in use ... It is false. The application takes more size is Plants Vs Zombies (80MB) so do not know how to solve this problem ....
Formatting? ALL partitions? FULL WIPE? I have TWPR.
Thanks and sorry for my Inglés, I'm spanish follower of the XDA forums
SOLVED:
I formatted everything on this device (TWPR) and reinstall all of beginin'! And now, 8'9 GB free space showed! and only 400 mb in use!

[Q] Question about phone memory

Hello everyone,
I put my questions in bold so they're easier to find and address, I'm not trying to shout.
So, I'm getting ready to create a rom slot using Safestrap but when trying to free up memory for a new slot, I'm having trouble understanding where some of my memory went.
I opened up the application manager to view the usage and it shows I have 5.42 GB of space available (see Phone Memory attachment).
This seems to be consistent as when viewing the available memory in windows, it shows I have 5.41 GB of 9.61 GB free (see PC Memory Analysis attachment).
So the first question is where did 6.39 GB of my 16 GB device go to get down to only 9.61 GB left (I can only assume Android's OS)?
I went into explorer to find out what's taking up all the space and what I can remove but when I set my computer to read all hidden files, selected all the folders and then click properties, it can only seem to find 1.5GB of data on there rather than the 4.2 GB (9.61GB total - 5.41GB left over - 1.5 GB found on the folder) it says I'm using (see Explorer Analysis).
Any idea what happened to this 2.7 GB or so of data?
Also, does anyone know the minimum space I should reserve on the internal memory for the phone to operate or is that already considered in the 7 GB or so of Android data? I know when you run out of disk space on the OS partition of a hard drive, you see a significant speed decrease and I want to make sure I don't do the same on my phone. If I can fully fill up the disk space without any performance decrease, that works too.
Thanks, everyone!

[Q] Increasing Application Space on Micromax Canvas 2 Color A120 (8 GB ROM)

Hello,
Couple of days back I have bought Micromax Canvas 2 Colors A120 with 8 GB ROM. It runs on 1.3 GHz MT6582 Quad Core Processor, 1GB RAM and runs on Android v4.4.2 (KitKat) OS. The ROM is 8GB (as compared to 4GB in the earlier versions of the same phone).
However, in this excellent phone the application space is still limited to 0.98 GB.
I rooted this phone successfully yesterday and installed busybox. The
/[email protected] is mounted on /system.
/[email protected] is mounted in /data
/[email protected] is mounted on /cache
I am not sure of this but I believe that the I can expand the partition size of /[email protected], /[email protected] and /[email protected] onto the 8 GB ROM in some appropriate ratios. I already have a 32GB class 10 micro SD card attached so do not need the 8GB ROM for any other storage and if possible utlize this entirely in such a manner so that the entire ROM can be used for applications/data/cache/custom user file i.e if i choose to copy there.
Is there any way I can do that repartitioning on the filesystem (or dynamically expand the filesystems).
Please note I have already tried the Mt657xRepartition_EN.apk given at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37974360. It did not help.

Thanks for response Biswajyoti. I will try that. My A120 is with 8GB ROM, so I hope your 4GB ROM solution works with this. However, if you don't mind, I would like to understand a bit more here about how this re-arranging of space is being done. If you can give me some background on the working of the tool, it will be great.
Also, I understand there is a risk factor involved, but can I ask if the already installed apps/data will be affected in anyway. Basically if all goes well, do I need to reinstall any of the already installed stuff. All the apps which can be moved to SD card have been moved to the 32Gb external SD card and not the internal SD card. However, majority of the apps like facebook, what's app etc are installed on the system/app area.
No need to reinstall apps but you should make a backup of your internal storage before doing anything with your phone

Confirmed it works.
Thanks for your confirmation ......Now what is the amount you got as mass storage???
