My cresta has a system partition (/system), a data (/data) partition and a sdcard (/mnt/sdcard)
And a mounted (/mnt/external_sd) external SD kart (8Gb)
The data (/data) partition is only 1 Gb and the rest of the internal memory is used bij the mounted sdcard partition. The data partition is allmost full and I can't move anymore apps to the sdcard (not all of the apps are movabe)
I can mount a external sd-card but I can't use it for moving applications. I only can move to the internal sdcard.
I want the internal sdcard (/sdcard) removed and the 2Gb added to my data partition.
And the mount of the (internat) sdcard witch is removed must be set to the mount /external_sd
I'm a newbie, so can anyone help me to change this?
There is nog data or apps on this tablet (Cresta CTP818) and I have a backup of the Original rom (tested to restore)
So I can try whatever I want.

Hey guys I'm facing a problem. Today I decided to expand my EXT3 partition and after some nandroid backups and tries I succeded and finally have all previous programs working and a bigger EXT3 partition. But A2SDGUI still says the size of the partition is 206mb and I extended the partition to 610mb. Using SD Maid I could see all the info about storage and I have the following:
Android OS - 147/206mb (exactly the same as the EXT3 partition that A2SDGUI shows)
Internal data - 99.15/178mb
Sdcard - 627/1.23gb
App2SD - 268/610mb
I can confirm that the SD Card only has 2 partitions and I don't know why A2SDgui shows information about Android OS partition...I don't know if it's installing things there..I would transfer the apps back to internal memory and then sd card but I'll ran out of space and then I'll have to restore the whole system again probably...Oh and I have already unistalled and reinstalled A2SDGUI...
Help?

I'm looking to find out how in the heck to install apps into the phone's internal SD partition.
To free up internal memory, I know you can format a microSD card into an EXT and FAT partition. Then you link apps using link2SD, freeing up more internal memory and storing most data on the microSD card, in the EXT partition.
I'd like to do exactly this, but with the internal SD partition acting as the microSD card. That is, format the internal partition into FAT and EXT, then use link2SD to link to the new EXT partition on the internal SD card.
Minitool Partition Wizard just will not do it. How is this possible? Is this even possible??
I want to use Link2SD, but partition internal stroage or sdcard at recovery doesn't woring. How can I partition onboard storage manually?
Hi guys!
I have really particular question, which I have not found any answer to. I have my microSD card partitioned and I did backup of the system with CWM, but I have marked sd-ext option too. Now I have few questions:
1) So when I will format my microSD card and don't create new partition, then recover my earlier done backup of my system and sd-ext through CWM , will second partition (ext4) will also be recreated? or I should re-partition my microSD and then recover my sd-ext files through CMW?
2) When re-partition is needed, can I choose create ext2 and recover my sd-ext data which was on ext4? is it possible?
3) When I know that my backed up files on second partition was for example 4GB, and I still had 6GB free space (both give 10GB in total), can I shrink my newly created second partition to 8GB in total, and leaving 4 GB free space instead of 6GB before. Will it affect recovered through CWM files?
4) And lastly I would like to know when I copy microSD files to computer, files are only those from first FAT32 partition? When I wipe my microSD and copy these files back to microSD, I assume all my ext4 (second partition) files are lost? and then, all linked apps through link2sd will be broken (deleted?)? There is only one option to backup them and is it through CWM recovery with "sd-ext" option? or is there anything else?
Hello,
I am trying to partition the internal storage to have a safe partition that will hold titanium backup files while formatting data in twrp (my device is encrypted and for every update I have to format data).
Is there an app to format internal storage? (I found a lot for SD card but not for internal storage)
Thanks for the help
Hello, I think I found a solution, parted

I will try to split my 256 gig internal storage into a backup partition of let's say 10gig abd leave the other 246 for data.
Will try it over the weekend
