App for repartitioning your phone's internal memory.
Meteos MTK6589 ROM EDIT
This app will allow you to change your phone's data partition size.
Since most people have a MicroSD card for storing their files on, the internal sdcard is just a waste of space and can be put to good use for storing apps.
This app allows you to do so.
Requirements:
Xolo Q700/Q700i
Root access
A custom recovery
YOU ARE DOING THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK
(Although no serious harm can be done when correctly using this tool)
Instructions:
Make a backup of your files in your recovery (if you want to preserve them) and make sure they are stored on the external sdcard.
Download, install and start the Meteos app for your specific ROM size and choose your desired Data partition size.
Press "Reboot into Recovery" and choose "'Wipe data/Factory Reset" on CWM or Wipe internal storage on TWRP.
Restore your backup.
Profit.

there s no 4 gb file, u just have to download a,small file 64 kb or something, just download thd apk file, the apk file is different for 4gb,8gb,16gb,32gb rom phones, if u are using a 4 gb rom phone, like our q700/q700i/q800, u have to dl meteos app for 4 gb rom,
and you only have to download one small file.
not able to download the english version for 4gb phone. I downloaded the foreign language version. Here is it attached.
Noticed two major problem here.
After re-partitioning using the tool, when you go to the recovery and factory reset, it throws an error that it cannot umount emmc and then the phone is looked in boot, doesn't start at all. AFter this, you need to flash Q700i rom and start from scratch.
However, if you wipe Data, the phone does start but it still gives the error that it cannot umount emmc.
Any help here.
It works perfectly bro, in recovery u jst have to factory reset only and reboot. Also, u must hv q700i stock rom installed.

I have been wondering if we could install multiple ROMs in our phones at once and switch between them as we would wish. Thereby skipping the pain of making contacts and app backups.
After a bit of Googling, i came across an app named "Boot Manager",which allows you to install 5 ROMs at once, but alas, it doesn't support our defy...
It would be great if i could have MIUI in my phone besides CM7,
Afaik, Technically it IS possible...
The ROMs would be installed in our SD Card and the phone will then be able to boot images of the desired rom, we wish to switch to.
If anyone has any information, then please share.
This is a video of the app running in HTC Sensation. Do check it out.

Guys, we have to make this Awesome thing run in our defy...!! Anyhow..!!
Good question dude.
I've been wondering if I can have cyanogenmod installed and if I can switch back to stock incase I'm not satisfied with CMod.

Some good news,
The boot manager app can be used in Defy as well by configuring it manually using the adb shell.
Gonna try it in a day or two.

Exciting...that will certainly be great as changing ROM comes with the added hassel of redoing necessary housekeeping all over again...will keep watching!
Alright friends, so it actually is possible for us to use the boot manager app.
All we got to do is to manually configure the settings.
Here is what we need to configure:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have read in the help manual that the settings can be configured using adb.
But i dont have a pc with me these days.
So either if someone who knows how to use adb can find out the sizes of the folder and share here, or we will have to find a way to find out the size of the root folders using terminal emulator.
Further questions are welcomed.
we should type the total size of data system and cache or the used space
Someone test this ?
It's quite interesting, but what about applications, data etc, i think so one rom should be primary (in phone memory)
we should type the total size of data system and cache or the used space

The Total size that is allocated to these folders, not the used space.

You say that you have tried every version... Wud you please elaborate how you did that??
The settings need to be configured for which the size of the folders has to be known, and that can be done via adb.

How did you find the following values?? Using adb?
Next when i configured my boot manager with the settings provided by you and tried to install a ROM into the SD card it first asked me to choose b/w Ext2 or Ext4.
Then on selecting any of the above an error popped up saying "Error making img" - Error making img to hold filesystem.Please try again.
Yes using adb....u try out for your phone maybe our settings are different

Hey Guys,
I'm bringing you the exclusive mod to increase your phone's system (App) Storage from 1 GB to 1.5 GB :laugh:
No More INSUFFICIENT STORAGE errors :fingers-crossed:
Just load the scatter file from the zip and flash EBR files (EBR1 & EBR2) via SPtools
No CWM Required, No Root required
Step by Step Procedure
After installing USB Drivers, Extract SP tools software to some location & Follow:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Click on Download button first and then connect the phone to PC (In switched off mode), flashing will start
Now, after 3-4 seconds, A green box will appear on sptools, confirming that flash successful,
now disconnect your phone and turn it on :angel:
Phone'll ask you to Format internal Storage, simply do it. & Done :laugh: Enjoy More System Storage
Factory Reset Advised but ain't necessary unless you get apps crashing dialog boxes.
** All the files in the internal storage will be lost. and that's about it
1.5 GB Mod Download
The system storage (Apps storage) will increase from 1 GB to 1.48 GB
Leaving 1.25 GB behind as internal storage
1.63 GB Mod Download
This'll leave 1.09 GB as internal storage and rest 1.63gb for apps.
Or Here's the 2 GB Mod, this will Make APP Storage = 1.98 GB, leaving ~ 750 MB as internal Storage.
2 GB Mod Download
Stock Storage
1.3 GB system Partition Mod for Advanced users only!
1) Flash the mod via sptools,
2) Enter custom recovery,
3) Format System (under mounts & storage), Format data, cache. Now your internal storage is totally clean, all data is gone, and OS is formatted too! So now install one.
4) You can install any rom whether custom or stock
-if installing stock rom, DO NOT USE MBR, EBR, PRELOADER files (uncheck them from sptools) else there'll be no use of flashing this mod as stock files will overwrite it.
Works on both 4.2.2 and 4.4.2 Android Systems :cyclops:
You can Check the attached Screenshots.
Leave response in comments below.
Do not flash on any other device! Your phone might get bricked
It's meant only for Xolo q700s (MT6582).
If you want it for some other device, post in the comments section below or
PM me with your phone's EBR & Scatter files. :highfive:
Screenshots
Download SP Flash Tools v5.1352.01
Download q700s USB Drivers
For Windows 8 PCs, you'll need to turn of Digital Signature verification to install drivers. Here's How to do it.
In case you are having troubles with the Mod, you can REVERT BACK! <- Stock EBR Files for 1 GB Storage (back to normal)
Simply extract and flash with sp tools.
More of my Work:- Q700s KitKat Stock ROM - Spftools flashable

Now, You can also flash them from any custom recovery!
Simply download and flash the ZIPs from cwm or ctr.

You can root it using rootmaster or kingoroot app.

Hi friends,
At last i have found a way to mount external storage as internal and vice versa for xperia sp jb 4.3(.205). For this, you just need to have init.d support in kernel so your system can run a script on each boot which will do the mount in background.
Requirements:
1. Root
2. ((1. Busybox ))
((2. Universal init.d ))
((3. Es File Explorer ))
3. The attached script named "swap"
4. Patience and cool brain
How to do:
1. Install busybox
2. Install universal init.d
3. Make a folder in your external storage named "0" and put all the files of your external storage into it
4. Make another folder in "0" and name it "xInternal". Cut your files from your internal storage into it( So now, you have all ur files of external storage in "0", and all your files of internal storage in the folder "xInternal" inside "0"
5. Download the zip and extract the script(swap) and place it in /system/etc/init.d (Go to your root of the device with any explorer, i used es file explorer, then go to system/ etc/ init.d and paste the script there.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6. Set the permission of the all checked (-rwxrwxrwx)
7. Change the owner of the file to "system"
8. Change the group of the file to "sdcard_rw"
9. Reboot and Die!!! Becaue you need to cut all files from the folder "Android" inside "xInternal" and paste it in the "Android" folder inside "0"
(So you have the files of your previous inter storage/"Android" in the folder "Android" of your present internal storage{which is actually your external sd})
10. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!
Download script
Issues:
1. You will see in settings that your external storage is changed as the same size of internal storage but internal is same as it is. Dont worry. Just dont look at this bcz its showing wrong info. you can install file commander and see by yourself that the script works
2. Es file explorer will show you that your internal storage is replaced with your external storage, but at the place of external storage, you will just see obb. But its wrong also, dont worry
For your help:
Before using this script--
Internal storage: /storage/emulated/0 (size ex. 5 gb)
External storage: /storage/removable/sdcard1 (size ex. 16 gb)
After using this script--
Internal storage /storage/emulated/0 (size ex. 16 gb) [
External storage: /storage/removable/sdcard1 (size ex. 5 gb)
Proof:
Explanation:
The script mount and bind /mnt/shell/emulated with /storage/sdcard1, so u have a folder in sdcard 1 which names "0", if u go in /mnt/shell/emulated/, u will see 3 folder named "0", "legacy", "obb". You already created "0", and "obb" & "legacy" will be created automatically, so your /dev/block/vold/179.33(/storage/removable/sdcard1) will be mounted as /mnt/shell/emulated/ and you will get your sdcard1 space in your internal, means /storage/emulated/0/. And you will see all your files of sdcard1 in "0" bcz u have put those in in a folder names "0" in your sdcard1. tricky, huh???
And if you are using this and avoid annoying low internal space, just send me thanks by pressing thanks button and encourage me to make more useful things and tuts in future

My device used to show 128gb of internal storage - with 111gb usable. But after I flashed to Android N Preview 4 with a modified boot.IMG for a decrypted storage so I could have TWRP working. It showed I only had 24.1gb usable. I already tried a factory reset, and flashing back to 6.0.1 (mtc19v), PureNexus, and other ROMs. I'm wondering how I can fix this?

Looks like you flashed the userdata.img. Type this in fastboot: fastboot format userdata
This will wipe everything from your phone. It will resize back to 128 GB.

Windows update blocked me, hopefully its not windows 10
You most likely flashed the "Userdata.img" thats included in stock Android firmaware archives. Unless you have a 32GB device, the userdata IMG does not account for storage over 32GB and if you flash it on the 64 or 128GB version, it will partiton the internal storage and only allow for you to access 32GB. I made that same mistake myself when I first got my phone. The userdata img is meant to zap the internal storage and delete all userdata on the device. Instead, just use the command "fastboot format userdata"... It will perform the same function without any loss to your overall storage space. From now on, when you flash the stock firmware make sure you steer clear of that file and instead use the command. MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP ALL OF YOUR PERSONAL FILES FIRST!! That command wipes every partition on the device!! So make sure you've saved whatever you cant afford to lose before using it. Formatting the user data is not always required when flashing roms on your device. Actually its hardly ever a requirement. Usually its used when you want to bring your phone back to the factory settings. The built in SD partition on most Android devices is isolated space. This allows you keep all of your importatnt files safe in the event that your system partition becomes corrourpt forcing you to reflash your old rom or a new one. If you need any help at all please feel free to send me a message. Hope this helps!

I backed up all my files to my PC before I did the process in the first place - 36.8gb. Using BitTorrent sync. I was able to restore using that, therefore there was no loss.
