Lowering system partition to expand data partition - Lenovo A6000/Plus Questions & Answers

I am just curios is it posible to repartition out NAND memory to make our system smaller and our data bigger because custom roms for our phone are lot smaller in size then our factory rom.So we have 1gb trapped in system partition so is it posible to partition it like that so we transfer that gb to data?

Partition layout

Hi!
Is there any way to change partition layout on Motorola Flipout?
Got cache partition sized 128MB which i haven't seen using more than 6 MB.
My data partition would like extra MB on programs.

[Q] Kyrillos v7.0OC, want to repartition SD swap/ext

Hi!
I'd like to repartition my SD card to have a bigger space for my data and also a smaller swap, because now it's 512MB and it's just too big, I don't need that much. (I accidentally partitioned the bigger sized partition for swap, I wanted to make that size for my data)
I read some questions about this thread, but I don't know if I have to reflash my phone again or I can just repartition the swap and data sizes without any problem.
Any suggestions?
(ps: it's not a problem if I have to reinstall my apps if the system itself works after this procedure.)
Hi.. You don't need to reflash...
- Take a backup of your sdcard as well as titanium
- wipe data from recovery
- format sdcard from settings- sdcard n phone storage
- reboot in recovery and partition acc to your required sizes
- copy your files back to sdcard and restore apps

[Q] Partitioning MAIN NAND internal memory to fit build and give more data space?

Hello everyone,
is it possible to partition the MAIN memory (I mean the phone memory, not sd card) to fit the build I'm using perfectly? Like setting best size for boot partition, for system partition etc..., in order to have more space available for data internal partition?
I've found http://www.enfeuman.com/2011/06/01/how-to-fix-abnormal-internal-storage-space-on-htc-hd2/
but I really couldn't find an option in CMR to partition main memory.
If this is possible, can anyone tell me how? (I'd like it for my NAND ACA GB2.3.7 build)
And is it necessary to wipe the whole phone and do (flash) everything over again?

Wipe data
to set the partition sizes, try clk 1.6 and use fastboot commands to resize the partitions.
When you do this, you will have to re flash the rom.
Thanks, ill try that.

[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.

Connection between the size of the System partition and partitioning with clk, etc.

There is a huge thread on how to move data from the System partition to the SD, but I think it is still not very clear (at least to me) why the system partition gets so full when installing new modern ROMs on the HD2. Every installation guide starts with partitioning in clk or magldr. For instance, the HexusHD2 ICS ROM has to have at least 170mb system partition. I made it 300 just to be sure and android says I have a total of 105mb internal storage. (I barely have place to install new apps, since android takes around 75mb of those 105mb)
My question is what is what is the relation between the system partitioning in clk and the size I get after the ROM is flashed. Will i have more storage if I partition clk to a greater figure- 450mb? ...or will it be vice versa?
thanks

You've got it completely the wrong way around, the /system partition is where the actual OS is installed, so the smaller the /system partition, the greater the internal storage which remains, which is thus usable for apps.
Smaller partition = more storage.
