Hi, i'm just wondering why we don't repartition system partition etc. instead of trimming note 2 rom to fit our system partition. I've edited my partitions yesterday and have 1.5 gb on system, 4gb on data. That way we could have everything from that rom.
best regards

I have a stock N1 with Android 2.2.1 build FRG83D. The phone has an unlocked bootloader, and I have rooted the phone.
My issue is that I have no more app space. I am down to almost 20MB of app memory, and I want to move the dalvik-cache to the cache partition. I did reformat my SD card so that is has three partitions on it.
I tried to run the a2sd Dark Tremor script, but I don't think it will work because the boot.img file won't support mounting to the ext partition. In short, I ran into issues as the cache files would not move.
Does anybody know how I can move the dalvik-cache from app over the cache on a stock N1?
Thanks!
Hi everyone, new to the forum and I hope that my (likely) simple question is easy to answer!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, that was running the stock ROM at 4.1.2. I rooted the phone using the Odin tool, which worked first time, and I then proceeded to use ClockWorkMod (latest version I think) to flash a custom 4.3 Rom to the device (after taking a backup of the EFS folder to SD Card and my PC).
That has worked perfectly. I am loving 4.3.
The issue I have is internal storage.
When I did the custom rom install, I did:-
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Format System
I then installed the custom ROM and latest GApps and all is good.
What is curious, and I just cannot seem to explain, is that the internal storage when I was on the stock ROM, reported I have over 6GB free, and now that I have gone over to the custom ROM, I have around 2GB free.
For me, that seems strange that I have lost 4GB of internal storage just for this ROM update.
I had assumed that the Data/Factory Reset and Format System would clear out all the rubbish ready for a clean install of the Custom ROM - but that does not appear to be the case.
How do I go about resetting my device so that I can clear down the internal storage to the extent that I can regain the lost space?
Any help is really appreciated.

I would say, try to establish if the rom had 4GB of extra data or not initially. How much bigger was the custom rom compared to the stock rom?
If you have busybox or TerminalIDE installed ( hope you have!) , try running "du -a / | sort -n -r | head -n 30" and see if you can find any particularly large files, or directories that seem extremely bloated and compare them to the stock rom.
What are you using to determine how much disk space you have free? Windows via usb? df via terminal?

What size rom slots do you guys create? Including cache and everything else.

I read on one of these forums. 1GB for testing, 2 GB for extensive testing, and 3 GB for daily use. Those are all data partitions. The default on system and cache have worked good for me. I recently made my daily ROM slot a 3 GB and noticed it was slightly smoother.

I bump up the system partition to 1GB and use default sizes for data and cache (2GB and 700MB, respectively, I think). I increase the system partition so I can use the Paranoid Android stock or full modular GApps.

Hi,
I just flashed my phone, using CM 11 to KitKat 4.4.4. Everything went smooth. However, I left 1 GB for data partition and the default size for system and cache. After installing a few apps I found that I have no more space, so I'm gonna repeat the procedure increasing the space for these partitions. My question is how big these partitions (data, cache and system) are in the stock ROM (in my case JellyBean 4.1.2? If I return to the stock ROM do I have to determine the partitions, or it is automatically?
I'm thinking of installing a new ROM on my phone, and I reckoned that instead of formatting the data partition, what if I just wrote a script to erase only the parts of the data partition that have been put there by the system components of the old ROM? Would that work?
If not, why?
