Increase DATA Partition Size!!! - Lava Iris 504Q

READ EVERY LINE CAREFULLY
dont just leech the post, press the thanks button, if this has helped you! )
LAVA IRIS 504Q has only 1 GB for data and mostly this gets filled up when we load several games and applications. The Internal storage has 1.6 GB mostly we dont use and as we have got External SD Card support a few hundred MBs of Internal storage is enough.
I have found this solution and want to share this with you. I did this and have got 2.x GB of data now.
I did all these steps using MIUI V4.7.11 and tested with this ROM only and I trust for any ROM this should work but not tested with other ROMs. Note this.
MERE ROM users may find this as jackpot!!!
I am using MIUI 4.7.11 ROM and I found this app very useful
Download this MIUI V4.7.11 ROM and copy to External SD Card [I used this ROM for flashing and my SD card is set right!!! so recommending this ROM , no further intentions ;o)]
Follow the steps carefully step by step but it is quite easy:
Disclaimer: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE
Step 0: DO NOT PROCEED W/O having this done.
Take CWM backup of your current ROM
Step 1: Install this APP attached
Step 2: Provide SU Permission
Step 3: Open the APP
Step 4: Select 2.0 / 2.5 GB [ONLY - DO NOT SELECT 2.77, your Internal SDCARD will become around 14MB and you may have to restart the process again, I had a hell time having selected this 2.77 option] as DATA Partition [Button - press this button] - You will do this in the APP
Step 5: Reboot to Recovery [Button - press this button] - You will do this in the APP
Step 6: Do Data Wipe [Factory Reset] / Cache
Step 7: Format System Partition
Step 8: Clear Dalvik Cache
Note: the CWM may report an error saying the .android_secure is corrupt, Please ignore this message, All is well
Step 9: Now, Install MIUI V4.7.11 ROM from External SD Card
Step 10: Reboot
PROFIT!!!
See that your Data partition is larger now to hold more and more apps and your Internal SD Card is 300 MB+ for apps like Camera etc..
Notes:
1. When I tried doing this, I just restored the DATA Partition and my device did not even proceeded after the LOGO and hence I have decided to flash the whole rom again
2. I tried restore the entire backup, the ROM booted but the SD card showed corrupt and since I amusing MIUI ROM, the MIUI has asked me whether this SD card should be fixed during the initial boot and I got set this right
3. I TRIED FLASHING THE ROM, THE INTERNAL SD CARD IS AUTOMAGICALLY GOT SET RIGHT AND AFTER THE BOOT I DID NOT SEE ANY SD CARD ERRORS AND ALL IS WELL FOR ME !!!!

Nice share [emoji106]

Works like a charm
Everything working fine... loving the extra app storage.. works fine with mere rom.. thanks a lot:laugh:

It works !!!!!
Thank you so much man,:good::good::good::good::good::good::good: I was trying to swap the internal memory but it seemed to be too complicated for me!!! and I just saw your simple tutorial!! WOW, thanks a lot!. Btw, your other post regarding the swapping of internal to external memory works fine too?

can someone please confirm if this process works on stock ROM? i don't want to use custom ROM but want to increase my internal memory by using meteos.

No offense to OP
but its already posted .
and it works on any rom- stock rom too.- only if ur rooted.
I personally tested it on our Iris 504q and 6 other mtk phones. (6589, 6589T)
And no need to format internal sd card and u can restore ur cwm backup without any issues.

Oh God I cant get past the LOGO screen~ please help?
i followed your steps but when i rebooted it got stuck in the logo screen, now it wont get past that! please help me ?!?!?!?
please anyone reply asap?!
---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------
i am stuck at the logo screen because i think i messed something up trying to increase the internal memory size(there is a thread for that)
is there a way for me to boot into recovery directly?
please reply asap!
i did store a backup in me ext sd just before but i dont know how to use it to restore without going into recovery menu first

[Q] Only 7.25 Mo of internal storage

Hello,
Sorry if this has been already asked but I couldn't find the answer using the search tool
I've just bought my HD2 today and tried the NAND method
Everything worked fine but whatever ROM I flash, I only have 7.25 Mb of internal storage available
I thought it wouldn't matter since I have a 32 Gb sd card and set the install location to it but I nevertheless get the "Not enough storage" message when trying to download an app from the market
Can you please tell me where I went wrong ?
Thanks
You likely have a EU HD2 512 and have installed a ROM for a US HD2 1024. Read the build threads before flashing.
Thanks for your reply
The link you provided is the guide I used : flashed 2.08.HSPL, then MAGDLR and finally updated the radio to 2.15.50.14
I then installed this ROM with CWM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951 . It's not mentionned whether it's for 512 or 1024
Did you mean I didn't use the right file while preparing the device or just the ROM ?
Thanks
OK, now I understand what you mean. There's a Desire HD Rom that says 47 mb left after first boot and that's exactly what I got after flashing it
I guess I'll just need a Gingerbread ROM that will leave enough space left after flashing on a Leo 512
If you have suggestions, because the 3 ones I tried so far left less than 10 mb after first boot =(
The one I would recommend would leave only 46 MB after install.

Hmmm, since you have the 512 version, I suggest making an ext 2/3/4 partition on your sd card to use app2sd+ or data2sd. so when you stall some apps, they go into the partition and not your internal storage. (the ext2/3/4 is a way to trick your phone into thinking that partition in your sd card is your internal storage)
Use the built-in advanced function in ClockworkMod Recovery to help create ext3 partition on your SD card. but you need to get ClockworkMod Recovery installed first…
Step by Step Guide
1. Backup your SD card data to PC before start partitioning.
2. Power on your phone and don’t let go power button.
3. DFT MAGLDR Bootloader will be loaded.
4. Press call button to load 1. Boot AD SD.
5. ClockworkMod Recovery will be loaded then.
6. Use volume down button to go down to ‘advanced’.
7. Then press call button.
8. Select ‘Partition SD Card’.
9. Select the ext size that you want (128M, 256M, 512M, 1024M, 2048M or 4096M).
10. Select 0M as the Swap Size.
11. Copy back your data to SD card.
12. That’s all.
CLICK ThankS
@rahan95
But the rom, you've mentioned - TyphooN CyanogenMod - is Gingerbread and should have left you much more than 100MB free on Int HD2 (I'm sure of it, because it's the one I'm using now myself and right now have 98MB free after installing few apps).
Check, if you've flashed with right settings for CWM - author of the ROM suggest 135M System/44M Cache.
Thanks for your replies
Coldest : I do have CWM instaleld since it's what I used to flash the roms. But it's on the Nand, not on the SD. Therefore, booting on AD SD doesn't work. Should I reinstall it but on the SD this time ?
Adecostres : I used this topic for installing CWM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
i flashed the 400MB thinking bigger was better but this may be wrong ?
Thanks again
With TyphooN's ROM, you should use this CWM (link from his thread): http://www.multiupload.com/5VH6M9XM8B
You will have 135M system / 44 Cache and more than 120M free space after flashing.
In this case bigger is NOT better - using bigger system part, you will have less space for apps
THanks a lot
I'll try that ASAP and will let you know !
It worked ! I have 229 Mb available after first boot =)
Thank you so much for your help !
Glad to hear

[Q] HELP me in Installing [ROM] Kang-o-rama 1.2 FINAL

Hi,
I really love your ROM, But unfortunately i am unable to install completely in my Google Nexus One mobile. I followed all your steps from
Steps 1 to 3 i ahev done in PC.
1.Downloading Kang-o-rama Zip file
2. Copying Kang-o-rama to root Nexus One phone's SD Card
3. Seted up Advanced Installer by creating the directories
<sdcard>\android\kangorama\
and in kangorama directory, I created a txt file with name install.cfg with apps2ext and bootanimation flags only.
I followed Steps 4 to 7 after inserting the SDcard in mobile.
4. Rebooted into Recovery
5. Did a Nandroid backup
6. Wiped Data, Cache and Dalvik-Cache
7. Installed the Kang-o-rama zip file from your SD Card
In Step 7 i am facing the problem, when i started installing, i got System Installation and kernel installation completed. after that i got "Application installing" and after 70% in progress... there is no further progress..
At this point the Mobile is static for more than 4 hours. Can you please help me out in successfull installation..Thanks in Advance
regards
Manickam
You don't have to use the advanced install. Just put the ROM on to your root of your SD and flash in recovery after full wipe.
just a few ideas...did you partition your sd card first? did you check the m5dsum of the file you downloaded?
i would also recommend posting this in the kangorama thread.
you can also look in /tmp/recovery.log to see where it got up to or if there were any errors.
if it got to the step "installing applications" or something similar then it may have completed but had trouble unmounting the sd-ext partition and froze.
if this is the case you can try rebooting and see if it has worked or try re-partitioniong using clockworkmod or any other recovery..
Hi,
I didn't see this tread (lucky actually that I ever saw it).
Since new users can't post in /dev even with replies you can PM me if you have these problems.
I suspect you're using ClockworkMod recovery? If so, try installing Amon_RA recovery, it has less problems:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
If this doesn't help or you're still struggling feel free to send me a PM.
No. So far i didt Partitioned my SD card. Whether i Need to partition?
Ya. I am using ClockworkMod recovery.So what i should do now to make the MOD work properly..
Currently I am having ClockworkMod recovery 3.0.0.5. Whether I have to change my recovery?
I have also tried by partitioning the SD-EXT to 512MB and swap to 64mb. Still I am facing the problem in same point of application installation.
Can any one guide me to resolve this issue.

well Hybrid Data2SD is still a jargon for me. It has something to do like you can selectively move app data to sd card so something(not quite sure on this).
We partition our sd card so that we have a partition that is dedicated to apps only. Like its a hidden partition that will be used to store you apps on the sd card. Much better than manually moving your apps to sd card. App2SD by kyrillos (its a script, available in different versions. You need to select the version that suits your sd card class and capacity). On using such a script all your apps are moved to the sd card on installation.
By using Titanium backup you can view the free space on the sd-ex partition(the extra partition that you have made). Its best to partition the sd card via the CWM recovery which will come pre-installed on Kyrillos 8.0 or even on G3Mod Kernels.
I have provided a link below that has links to all the firmwares and kernels for our phone. So if you install Kyrillos's ROM and do not happen to like it, then you can select the stock JP2 firmware from the Index forum and flash back using ODIN.

PS.
To flash a ROM you need ODIN and the .ops(Odin partitioning Script) files. Both of them will be available when you download Kyrillos ROM.
-> Open ODIN
-> Select the .ops file
-> Select flash as one package and select the .tar file
-> Connect the phone(You must have the USB drivers for you phone installed. You can install KIES for that)
-> Once connected, ODIN will show the port number and write something as Detected or something like that.
-> flash the firmware now. Pray to GOD.
Back up your IMEI before flashing. Always flash ROMs without bootloaders as they can permanently damage(Hard Brick) you phone.
All the best.

1. No partition isn't necessary. If you are happy with the internal storage that you have on your phone, then you can live without a partition!
2.All the custom ROM's (in this case Kyrillos) are without bootloaders, so they are safe to flash.
3. If you want to revert back to stock ROM, then you can find them (without bootloaders) over here:-

I came to know abt this hybrid data2sd and successfully booted CM7 and Froyo roms using multiboot.
I have written all steps on THIS post!
Hope it helps!!
Hybrid data2sd basically moves apps to your sd card partition. First you have to partition your sd card using minitool partition wizard (google it) or cwm recovery which comes on custom roms. This changes the format of that certain partition of your sd card to ext2/ext3/ext4. I think that makes it faster than fat32 which is the standard format of an sd card. When you have partitioned your sd card and have the hybrid data2sd script on your phone your apps with automatically go onto your sd card because your phone thinks the partition is internal storage so you don't need to move them in the settings (i made that mistake and my phone went crazy slow!). It's basically just a way of getting more storage whilst still keeping your phone working smoothly. Also you can easily go back to your stock rom by going to this thread and downloading whichever one you want although i don't think this will be the case since kyrillos roms are awesome.
how do i check used/remaining space in hybrid data2sd partition...??
pls need help...
I think you may need to type something into terminal emulator. Hillbeast is the best person to ask as he made the script in the first place.

Guide to partition SD card and use with Link2SD to store apps

I have been looking for something like this for a while. The flipout lacks internal memory and it soon becomes a problem if you want to have a good set of apps.
Here's what you'll need:
1. Rooted Flipout (I won't post instructions to this step, look for "Universal AndRoot")
2. Partitioned SD card (see below for instructions), depending on the method, you might need a phone with CWM to do this and ADB installed on your PC.
3. Download Link2SD from Market
So here are the steps:
1. Partition your SD card. There are many ways to do it. I will post two ways:
Use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
My PC didn't like this tool and I wasn't able to use it. However, it should be quite easy, you just need to put your card in a card reader and build two partitions with the following characteristic:
First partition will be your main card partition, should be of the whole card size minus the extended partition you want to create
Second partition should also be fat32 (link2sd didn't like ext2 nor ext3 on the flipout, it only worked with fat32)
Use CWM. I personally didn't want to install it on the Flipout, so I used a Samsung Epic 4G for the steps. You should be able to use any phone with CWM to do it, put your SD card in the phone with CWM and boot into recovery:
adb shell reboot recovery
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 (open partition manager for SD card)
print (prints partition table)
Here you should have one partition table, starting at some point and ending at some point like 7969 if your card has 8GB. Take note of the End value as you'll need it.
rm 1 (deletes partition 1, this will erase all data on the SD card)
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7425 (creates a new primary partition, the second number should be the value you took note of in the last step minus the size in MB of your desired extended partition).
mkpartfs primary fat32 7425 7937 (creates the new partition for applications, starting at the end of the last partition and ending on the max size of the card. In this case I used fat32 as I couldn't do it with ext3 nor ext2, link2sd didn't like this format on the flipout for some reason).
The partitions are created and you should be able to go to the next step.
3. Reboot your flipout with the partitioned SD card, make sure to have link2sd installed.
4. Open link2sd, it will take a while, ask for root permissions (always accept and make sure to have Remember checked).
5. It will ask for the partition type, select fat32. If you are asked to reboot your phone you have everything setup, otherway please post your problem.
6. Once rebooted, open link2sd again and go to settings and configure. I don't like having all applications automatically linked as widgets and this kind of apps can fail if they are on the SD, so I have this setting unchecked. However this is a personal decision.
7. To move an app to the card, hold your finger on it and when the menu appears, press link and confirm.
8. To move an app from the card to the phone, hold on it and press unlink, check everything and wait for the app to be returned.
Further Tips:
Avoid moving apps to the SD that are use widgets or that run all the time like: messenger apps, alarm clocks, climate widgets, etc. I tried one or two without any failure but I feel they could be less reliable this way.
Don't remove your SD card if the phone is turned on, now it has a partition that is used by the system, if you remove it you could have issues, I would only remove the card with the phone turned off completely and not boot without the card.
I made some tests connecting the USB cable to the PC and using the phone in storage mode, the PC could see the primary SD card partition and the phone could still work with apps on the second partition, so it seems to be stable in this sense.
If you need to switch to another card, you would have to setup the new card in the same way; I don't know yet if backing up the second partition and restoring it to the new card will work. If your data is critical use some SW like Titanium backup to back up the apps that are linked, remove them completely and restore when you have the new card setup.
So, this has worked for me like a charm, the phone really seems stable and I have so far like 150MB of apps on the SD card. No need to have a newer Android version, it seems very stable.
Disclaimer:
Any process that involves rooting your phone and partitioning can potentially cause data loss and/or bricking your phone. Do this only if you are 100% sure of what you're doing, I will take no responsibility for any data loss / damage caused by this process.
If you have any questions I will be glad to help.
Hi great post above
I rooted my phone and I partitioned my sd card into 2 partitions , both FAT32 primary 3.7GB and when i open link2sd and select either ext 2 or ext 3 I get an error message
"Mount scrip error
Mount scripe cannot be created.
mount: no such device
ext 2 may not be supported on your device. Try FAt32 on the second partition"
Has anyone come accross this problem before ?
Hi,
When you open link2sd,scroll down and select fat32. I tried formatting the second partition with ext2 and ext3 wit no luck. Fat32 is working just fine.

Hi Thanks a million that worked great
thanks
hi i tried wat u told but after some time link2sd is showing failure that "cannot link readonly" can u help me
Your guide works great. Finally I can have all apps I like to have installed at once.

I can tell some experiences with backups.
Before I had blur stock rom with link2sd and changed to deblur central europe rom. After reinstalling link2sd all apps where still gone.
And even after restoring all user apps with titanium backup they were restored to phone memory. I had relink them with link2sd manually and to batch restore with titanium backup twice because it broke down in the middle because phone memory was full.
Unfortunately link2sd is no magically way to have them backed up apps and to be independent from the rom. Titanium backup is still needed but that is fine. Nothing seams broken after restore with TI and relink with link2sd.
lovdanie, it's strange, had no issues with the tested phone yet, I partitioned 500mb and it has already like 200-250MB of apps linked and is working great, no issues.
One thing that could have happened is that you removed the SD card. Are you sure the SD card hasn't been touched or formatted?
bagers, it's not really a magical solution, it's just a way to get more space on a phone that lacks internal memory...

Just for some info.. under windoze try the "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" makes partitions like charm..
Guys any one have links for disk partitioners? minitool is not a freeware as u have t buy it when you apply the partition. any one know a way roubnd this? please help
miniProBhashi,
That's why I always use CWM to partition the SD card. As I don't have it on the Bllur, I put the card on another phone I have with CWM and it always works... Maybe if you have a linux PC you could do the same thing...

Help
Hi, I just partitioned my SD card. When I open the Link2SD app, it did prompt me to select the file system of the SD card's second partion, however, after I select FAT32/FAT16, Link2SD could not gain root access, there's no pop-up of indicating me to select "Allow" on the Superuser Request. Now wot do I do. Please help, thank you...
Well, I would start checking the SuperUser app to see if there is some exception in there. If you don't have it, check out if your phone is rooted by installing some other app that requires root access.
If not, check the root method for your phone.
If it's the Motorola Flipout, download version 1.6.1 from this thread, install it and run it:

Hi,
Have seen similar problems when using ext filesystems. Are you 100% sure that the secondary partition on the sd card is fat32? It really should work on the flipout without any issues.
Remember that you need:
* Rooted flipout
* Partitioned sd card (secondary partition must be fat32)
* Link2sd opened and allowed to use root permission
If you are sure you did everything stated above, we can look at it with more detail. What tool did you use to partition the sd card?
root permission
hi,
i have installed Link2SD from Market to my lg optimus p500 os,gingerbird2.3.3,when i stared to move app to sd it asks root permission.
so pls guid me to activate root permission in my device

Hi,
It doesn't make much sense to use Link2SD if you're on Gingerbread as your OS natively can copy apps to the SD card (at least some of them). Just go to "Manage Applications", and select the app you want to copy, there should be an option to "Move to SD"...
If you still have some good reason to use Link2SD, you should first look in a forum for your specific device to find out how to obtain root (I cannot help because it varies for each device)... Once you have root access, I can help you out with this process.

When I partitioned mine I used GParted Live. It's a Linux-based boot disk, but you don't really have to know anything about Linux to use it. Just download the .ISO and burn a CD, pop it in your PC and boot off it. Its free, graphical (not command line) and relatively easy to use. There is also an option there to set it up to boot live off a USB drive, but that's a bit more involved to set up.
gparted . sourceforge . net / livecd.php (sorry, it won't let me directly post links yet)
If you can burn a .ISO to a CD, you can probably figure it out. Just make sure you pay attention to which disk you are partitioning (look at the sizes) so you don't accidentally re-partition the hard drive in your PC.
EDIT: If there is anything you need to back up off the SD card, I would do that in Windows first, and then copy it back using Windows after. You CAN do this with GParted Live but there would be additional steps to mount / unmount the Windows partition on the PC that you want to copy to.
the bootstrapped recovery seems to be having a partitioning tool.
Maybe im wrong, haven't used it though

Make internal storage 2GB

Hello
this is a guide how to make your internal storage 2GB
i have it since i get my phone and i have try OEX OXYGEN MIUI CM7 ICS almost all rom with no problem.
the change is permanent thats wy i will give you and a way to go back to original partition.
Instructions:
1. Backup your Internal 2G Storage, doing this will erase the internal 2G data.
2. Download the attached partition.zip to EXTERNAL SDcard, make sure there are enough space in EXTERNAL SDcard (depends on your data partition size, around 600MB is enough).
3. Disable APP2SD, DATA2EXT, SWAP.(if have)
4. Boot into recovery, do not clear/wipe, flash this package directly, same as flashing a ROM.
5. After flashing go to advanced options, choose to reboot to recovery.
6. Go into recovery again, do not clear/wipe, flash this package again directly, same as flashing a ROM.
7. Reboot device. Done. All data will be kept, no data lose, all remains the same as before, but the storage space has been changed.
Characteristics:
1. Data storage space expanded to 1.2G, internal storage space squeezed to 1.46G (you can use custpartition.bat custom your size).
2. Data storage space is expanded permanently, no matter what ROM you are going to flash, including official ROM!
3. No side-effects, very safe.
How It Works:
Changed the Huawei internal 4G ROM partition solution, squeezed 2G space to 1.46G, leftovers are given to data storage.
This is cooperation work with 凡人 from 5irom, thanks for his bravery to test it out, otherwise I will not take this step ahead, you know it is money, bricking is scaring!
thanks simplistian provide me a U8800H partition table,and translate!
This is not a ROM, this is an upgrade package, you can treat it as a simple partition solution.

Im using miui, and if i flash this, can i flash ics or cm7 or back to stock rom without issue?

Working great! But I did not have a chance to see if it really does need reflashing ROM since I played it safe by backing-up and restoring thru CMW

Of course it does. It is clearly stated on the thread that you will loose all data in internal storage.
