General :: How To Resize / Increase /data Partition Size
Apr 22, 2014
My phone has 4GB internal ROM with below partitions:
1. mmcblk0p1 1024 ebr1
2. mmcblk0p2 10.00 MB protect_f ->EXT4
3. mmcblk0p3 10.00 MB protect_s ->EXT4
4. mmcblk0p4 750.00 MB android ->EXT4
5. mmcblk0p5 376.00 MB cache ->EXT4
6. mmcblk0p6 1.20 GB usrdata ->EXT4
7. mmcblk0p7 1.27 GB fat ->VFAT
Now, mmcblk0p7 (1.27 GB of vFAT) partition is used as sdcard1 but I also have a 8GB of mnt/sdcard partition. So, the mmcblk0p7 partition is totally useless in my phone. My questions are:
1. Can I add/merge mmcblk0p7 partition with mmcblk0p6 (/data) partition?
2. Or, Can I re-size/increase my mmcblk0p6 (/data) partition from mmcblk0p7
3. Or, Can I make the mmcblk0p7 as a swap partition like linux OS?
My Phone info:
Chip: MTK 6572
Android Version: 4.2.2
Basebad version: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V1.P1, 2013/07/13 13:02

I am using HTC explorer and a few other android devices. The main problem I face while flashing new roms is the lack of space in System partition! Is there any way to decrease the space of /data and add it to /system? Then I can use int2ext or m2sd script to move /data to /sdext!

resize the system partition of an Android JB 4.2.2 on cubieboard?
Image: sun7i_android_sugar-cubieboard2-8192cu.img
I need more room (it's only 512MB) to install apps.
Well, the APP disk space (nand partition) is very small and the internal "sdcard" too big.
When I install a few applications the space runs out and the system becomes unstable.
I need to increase the nand and decrease internal sdcard to gain more room to my apps...
Well, I started the process by using the tools:
1) To unpack/repack: imgRePacker_204
2) The image ROM: sun7i_android_sugar-cubieboard2-8192cu.img (Android 4.2.2)
3) To burn to flash: PhoenixSuit1.0.6
unpacking the ROM creates a folder named sun7i_android_sugar-cubieboard2-8192cu.img.dump
So, somewhere in internet I see to change the sys_partition.fex file, and search the system nand partition:
Code:
;------------------------------>mmcblk0p8/nande
[partition]
name = data
size = 1048576
user_type = 0x2
so, I change 1048576 to 2097152 (2097152 * 1024 = 2GB)
but :
1) In installed android, the system has only 512MB and not 1GB as show.
2) By increasing this value, nothing happens when I repack back to IMG and flash to the nand.
(all unpak, change, pack, flash process is fine ! )
Here is my devices list and size:
Code:
NAME SIZE MOUNTPOINT LABEL
nand 3.8G
|-nand1 16M Volume
[Code] ......

I was trying to expand my system partition size.
I flashed a zip via CWM on my phone, and must have made a mistake.
After i flash, my partition table seems to be messed up.
My "boot" partition is fine. All other partition seems to be "invalid" now.
I am able to enter fastboot, and "fastboot boot recovery.img" to enter recovery
I am not able to boot, or enter recovery mode directly.
I tried to "erase" via fastboot, but the partition is invalid.
i tried to "flash" via fastboot, but the partition is invalid.
Is there any way to "fix" my partitions?
I have downloaded a CM11.zip for my phone.
I have downloaded a stock rom for my phone.
I have access to these files, which are supposed to be system partition tables. found here:
github mirom/android_bootable_recovery/tree/cm-10.1/res/partition

Just as I said in topic - I runned out of memory on my SGSII on internal and sdcard and moved some pictures to /data/myfolder by using Root Explorer, then I've accidentaly deleted it. Is there any way to get the data back?
1) I cant mount /data so it can't be visible on My Computer
2) I couildnt find any app on Market which could recover deleted files from /data partition
EDIT:
Maybe there is a way to make a FULL IMAGE of data partition so I could scan it from my PC with some software for lost files? somehow?

I got a notification that my filesystem start to be full, I was really surprise so I take a look to it with the shell and here is the result
root@android:/data # df /data/
Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/data/ 2.0 G 1.9 G 59.2M 4096
root@android:/data # busybox du -sh *
200.0kanr
336.5Mapp
[Code] .....
336M + 222M + 217M = 785M
So where is the others 1.2G ?

My rom bootlooped somehow, and I was forced to clear the data partition. Now I want to recover the messages and put them in the (clean) rom.
I extracted /data/data/com.android.providers.telephone/databases/mmssms.db from the nandroid backup before I cleared /data.
I tried copying these files into the rom but the messaging app doesn't show any difference. Is there a way to salvage the messages?

Not so long ago I flashed a custom rooted ROM. After this I realized that I forgot to save some important app configs (im history, notes). As far as I know, Android uses ext4 filesystem on its root partition. Is there a way to perform undelete or any other method to try to recover deleted files? Searching the forums gives some results of repairing data on internal storage, but I guess the user data space is meant, not the root. My device is Huawei U8850 Vision, Android version 4.1.2.

Recently a strange partition (storage area?) Appeared on my phone. it is simply called 'data' and it would seem my phone has set this as the new default app installation area. it's 3gb in size..
When I plug it into the computer, The other storage (internal and sd card) are unavailable, as is normal, but this data partition can still be accessed.
How can I transfer over this data back to internal storage (the internal storage on my droid 4 is 8gb) and set the phone to use the internal storage as the default storage space?
Phone is rooted.

I have a Mocordroid with scp6820a cpu rooted
First some objections:
1- The sdcard is used in vfat filesystem, move simplely /data folder to sdcard will be cause some problems
2- Copy /data to /mnt/sdcard/data will not work completly because we got some error of permission
Code:
adb shell
Code:
cp -r /data /mnt/sdcard
cp: can't create directory '/mnt/sdcard/data/misc/bluetoothd/FA:2B:B7:4E:90:59': Invalid argument
cp: can't create symlink '/mnt/sdcard/data/data/org.mariotaku.twidere/lib': Operation not permitted
cp: can't create '/mnt/sdcard/data/data/com.estrongs.android.pop/files/comm/tool_port': Operation not permitted
cp: can't create symlink '/mnt/sdcard/data/data/com.toss.removeappwidget/lib': Operation not permitted
[Code] .....
So first thing i change size of sdcard, decreasing the partition size, and add a second partition with 3 Gbytes using ext2. To do this
Unmount the sdcard in settings>storage>unmount sdcard. I need discover where is the partitions
Code:
fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0
[Code] ....
For secure i reboot device, and umount card again. So format the second partition
Code:
mke2fs -t ext2 -m0 -b4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
And reboot again. This was hopeful action that it would recognize the card. But not ...
Code:
# mkdir /mnt/sdext
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/sdext
mount: No such device
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/vold/179:2 /mnt/sdext
mount: No such device
In My Epic Fail I was not successful
BEFORE that I wrote i try several tentactivies, apps but i m thinking that use adb will be the more better.
What is the best way, my internal device have less than 200 MB internal, so is too little !!! Maybe i will need change fstab or init scripts.

I would like to be able to alter the size of some of my ImageViews based on what Drawable they are showing. I've not yet decided on whether I'll get them to read the new dimensions from the Drawable or if I will just have an array/enum storing the heights of these, but what I need help with is the actual changing of the ImageView size.Which of the many many function for altering sizes of things should I be using to change the size of an ImageView while still retaining it's relative positioning in the RelativeLayout it is a part of? I can't work out if I should be changing the bounds of the Drawable or if I should be redefining the LayoutParams of the ImageView or some other method altogether. The drawables are always going to be the same width, but their height will change depending on what is in each tile of a map (which this is rendering).

how to sanitize my phones' internal memory.
I have an HTC ONE, and a Samsung Galaxy S4 that I am trying to sell. I know that it's fairly easy to recover data from a wiped partition by using programs like "TenorShare Android Data Recovery", unless data has been written over them at least once.
I had taken pictures of some documents containing highly sensitive data with the phone, and would like to make sure that those documents are not recoverable by the next user.
Neither of them have the USB Mass Storage option in the settings, so I can't just use some secure wipe program.

I'm planning on increasing my EXT2 partition space to around 4-5GB as I only have 100mb left of 2.5GB.
Do I have to copy and paste my EXT2 files to my main partition of the SD Card and change the partition size and paste it back into EXT2?
Is it also possible if I do this without having to lose all of my data?

With Clockworkmod, you have 3 partition options: 128, 256 and 512. Seems to me the obvious choice would be to use 512mb since it would give you the most room to install apps. But I gotta wonder why they would give you the 3 options because it would seem most people would want the most space you can have. That got me wondering if there is some potential performance issues with using the larger size or is it nothing more than just giving the user 3 different choices?

I plan to upgrade to a 4G LTE device this year. Typically, my usage on my 3G device (a Droid 2 Global) runs less than 1 GB a month. Have any people experienced increases in their monthly data usage after switching to a 4G-enabled device? And if so, do you think it would be due to the fact that you're consuming more data at a faster rate, watching more videos, streaming more content through your cellular data network because of the increased capability?
I'm trying to decide between buying old technology off of a third party (e.g. Droid 4/Razr Maxx at no contract) or upgrading to the latest and best (GS3/Razr Maxx HD) for the same cost, but losing the unlimited.

I am running rooted stock Android 2.3 on LG E405 (no working 4.x ROMs exist for the device)
I have two questions:
1) What is the shell command to manually make android allow the PC to mount androids' (internal) partition as USB-drive? (I cannot think of right keywords to google this one up - )
2) How does android determine which partition is which (i.e. which one to remount for the PC when connecting in "USB storage" mode), beside vold.fstab and init.rc? On android 2.3 that info is not in "framework-res.apk", so where is it? In the partition table itself?
I had switched data partition with internal sdcard partition.
Here's how: Phone had a very small "/data" partition on /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 and large internal "/sdcard" partition on mmcblk0p20
So I reformatted mmcblk0p20 (ex-sdcard partition) into EXT4 and mmcblk0p21 (ex-data partition) into FAT32
Then I changed init.rc to mount mmcblk0p20 as /data type EXT4 and mmcblk0p21 as /sdcard type VFAT (mounting /sdcard was commented out in stock init.rc for some reason). This required modifying my boot image.
I have also set correct partition number in vold.fstab:
[#]dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host[/#]
So basicly I now have a large /data partition and small internal /sdcard. I'm able install up to a gigabyte of APKs and it works fine.
However, when I connect to my PC via USB into "USB Storage" mode, the phone seems to still try to unmount what was previously sdcard partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p20), instead of what is NOW an sdcard partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p21) I can still send files to the phone via wi-fi and ADB, but the ability to mount it directly would be nice.
If I accidentally select "erase internal sdcard" from storage menu, that will also most likely erase what is now my /data partition, softbricking the phone. The "factory reset" option will probably only corrupt the sdcard.

Is there anyway to increase mms message size? On my old TP2 I had my limit set at 5mb and I didn't have an issue Sprint to Sprint, only sometimes with Verizon. With the evo, and recorder set on minimum resolution I can't even send a 10 second clip!I've tried handset which only gets me up to 1.2mb. I need it at 3 at the very least.

I'm have been trying to create a second partition on my sd card using miniTool Partition Wizard.But in the end I never get a 2nd partition but just a smaller first one.My approach is as follows:
insert empty SD card (FAT32, 4GB)
open miniTool Partition Wizard
right click on SD card - "Move/Resize"
choose 1gb for unallocated space after - click ok
right click on 2nd partition and choose "create"
create 2nd partition with FAT32/Ext2/Ext3 (tried all options already) and "primary" and Cluster 4KB - click ok
Apply
Afterwards my SD card is still shown as one partition, but this has just 1gb less capacity then before.Neither the Wizard nor the phone detects the 2nd partition then.

I can't figure what is exactly meaning the Partition Sdcard values in CWM.
I have an i9000, with 8Gb of flash. Some are system reserved. Available is around 6Gb.
When i run CWM, i can partition my sdcard, but i don't see what means the possible values (for 256 to 4096).
This is obviously not ruling the space left on /sdcard mountpoint (i partition to 2048, i still have nearly 6Gb available)... So what exactly means partition sdcard from CWM ??
i can't find an answer, and i dislike, when flashing rom, following commands i don't really master (generally a partition SD 2048 / SWAP 256 or SWAP 0).
