Hi guys,
I just have a simple question since I can't ODIN back to stock at the moment (too busy). What's the size of the /datadata or /dbdata partition on TW/BML ROMs?
(The reason I want to know is that I'm currently on an MTD ROM and my datadata partition is filling up even though I only restored half of my apps. Don't see the point in having a large /data partition if /datadata becomes the bottleneck.)

I'm wondering if someone smarter then I can Figure out how to mod the script for the Atrix since we have a unlocked bootloader now.
I notice it is for S-OFF phones, but I'm thinking that this doesn't matter on our phone since we are able to flash radio's ect.
The way I see it we have two main groups of Atrix users, those that want to take space from /sdcard and use it in /osh and those that don't care about /osh and would use the increase space in /sdcard
Mods, sorry if this is the wrong section but It is a development question, I though would be best here.
So reading into these it seems that there are two zips/scripts. The first setups the recovery, you then reboot into recovery flash your android back on then run the second script which tells the kernel what to use for partition sizes.
If you want to go back to stock you reflash the recovery image.
The ATRIX has a very different partition table then evo, hero or g1. So well need someone who understands it better then I to look at the scripts.

Here is more info, this is for the nook color, but it looks as though we could re-partition the internal memory as we desire. The risk is huge. Also I believe that CWM will re-write the partition table when doing wipes. I don't know the way all of this functions well enough to make the jump and make the /osh 2 or 4gb but that is what I'm looking into.
that might be rather dangerous doings resulting in unworkable touchscreen etc, since for seom reason repartitioning the internal nand ****s up /pds . several people had great problems by doing so.
Moved to proper forum.

I did read that, but it seemed that it was before it was known that we need to back up the pds partition. But of course we should have images of all the partitions before doing something like this. It sounded relativity safe according to those threads. The partition table has to be written every time you flash and ClockWorkMod apparently will correct the partitions to factory settings if things get messed up.
But then this is why I posted the question, I don't know enough about how clockwork mod works nor how moving the pds partition would effect things.
Again if we can figure this out we can get enough room on /osh so that sogarths hack is not needed (it is redundant and sort of a waste of space (not bashing, it is the best option currently avaiable) to copy the /osh part to a new spot on the sdcard then link everything back in). For those not interested in webtop we can get them more system or sdcard space.
/system 315M 301.9M 13.1M 4096
/data 2G 895.9M 1.1G 4096
/cache 619.8M 87.8M 532M 2048
/osh 755.8M 643.1M 112.6M 2048
315M is too small for cm10 to install extra mods like sony walkman. i wonder if someone can resize it

I agree with you. For those don't using lapdock, /osh partition really waste of memory but resize partition could brick the device.
here another tool to resize partition.

The reason I'm asking this is because of the 20MB application size download limit that a lot of people experienced. I did a little research and deduced that it's because the /cache partition is used by Market as a temporary download directory.
Even if I wipe the /cache partition, it still only has around 20MB of free space.
Now, I know that physically resizing /cache might be impractical (not to mention dangerous), so I think the best way is to create some sort of script that creates a link to the /cache partition (not unlike DTA2SD and Link2SD scripts).
The solutions I found were mostly for HTC phones, and the Samsung Galaxy S. I'm a bit scared of the potential damage it may cause by applying a script for another phone into this phone.
Please don't suggest flashing another ROM. I'm quite comfortable with this one.
TL;DR So does anybody know how to increase the /cache partition size safely and reliably?
Thanks in advance!

Anyone?
So, I gave my sister a hand me down i777, it has CM10.2 installed on it... She constantly gets notified that 'Storage is low", this is referring to /data probably... On newer phones, ones that normally shipped with ICS and newer, they don't use two partitions for /data and /sdcard, because you might have tons of space available on one but not the other, and you won't be able to utilize it, rather, they ONLY have a /data partition, and user content instead goes in /data/media. This way, app installs go on the same technical patition as photos or videos... Anywho, this current setup is a real limitation on how many apps she can install, I suppose there's some apps2sd crap I could do, but she doesn't actually have an external SD, and there's TONS of space on the built in '/sdcard"
TL;DR: Can I switch the i777 to a '/data/media' partition layout instead of the old '/data, /sdcard/ layout?
Well, it LOOKS like I might be able to resize /data and /sdcard with a modified .pit file, which may be good enough for now, but I guess it begs the question why there isn't an official CM setup that includes a modified .pit that eliminated the /sdcard partition?
Hey all:
Is it possible to eliminate the symlink to /datadata and force the cache and .XML files to use the /data partition before or after build?
I see that /datadata is described in the update file during the build process, but there's no size listed or anything of the sort, just the entry.
Trying to eliminate having to use an app to move cache files to a rather slow external sd card.

When i was uploading new rom, partitions connect to one. Many roms have a problems with this. Second partition has a 0MB size. I try upload stock rom by flashtool and no results. I want to restore original size. How I can do this? My phone is sony xperia lt30p.
What ROM have you flashed? Have you done a clean install, means having wiped existing Android OS before?
What's the name of the mentioned 0MB partition?
BTW:
Android comes with standard partitons as
/boot
/system
/recovery
/data
/cache
/misc
and their sizes basically are hardcoded.
Never have noticed, heard or read that when a ROM gets flashed a partition with size of 0MB will be created.
Name se

Don't confuse /sdard and sdcard.
With regards to /sdcard:
This is NOT a partition on the internal storage memory of the device but rather the ( external ) SD card.
With regards to sdcard:
This simply is a symbolic link to device's /data/media partition what is mounted as /storage/emulated/0
And How i Can restore default memory this partition? Partition with external sdcard has other name.
OK it's the partition named /data/media you're referring to.
If a partitition shows 0MB ( can't get mounted ) then this is because it probably is encrypted. Hence decrypt it. The common method is to perform a Factory Reset. If you've TWRP installed / at your fingertips then decrypting also can be done with TWRP.
This phone is other than many phones
For me, everything you post is crazy stuff: I can not understand what the problem really is.
Since Android is on the market, it has more or less the same partition layout as shown above. And I'm pretty sure your phone has this, too.
I mean about problem, when i am installing rom, show me comunicat ,,Error instaling zip file 'external_sd/android9 sony t/open_gapps-arm-9.0-pico-20201114.zip" and i wanna get rid of this problem, across restore this partition. Do you know, what i have a mean?
My last 2 cents here: Open Gapps isn't a ROM. It's merely a suite of re-compiled Google apps.
FYI: I no longer participate this thread. I hope for you others jump in.
ok, thank you for your help. Information for other people: I can't install apps on this roms, so i want to restore this partition
