Hello all. Recently i installed Liquid Smooth 3.2 on my droid razr maxx and i have been having a great time. My only issue is the limited app data (i was limited to 3GB at creation due to the version of safestrap i was running). I just upgraded to the most recent version of safestrap which allows higher than 3GB data partion. If i were to backup my ROM, delete the rom slot, recreate it with a bigger data partion and then restore via backup would that work or would there be issues due to the change in partion size?

Hi all! I got my Razr Maxx in Singapore... just as Motorola was announcing it's pull-out from my region :crying:
Anywayz, I installed BMM and I quite like it, but I have a question:
I have my daily driver in slot-1, and I just installed a CM10-based rom on slot-2 (the special one that apparently uses unused partition space in Motorolas.
I was thinking of testing my slot-2 ROM further and installing apps, etc, so my question is, where are all these apps installed? Will they eat up usable space from my Rom Slot-1 system?
If 1 day I decide to packup my slot-2 system, how do I delete the slot-2 rom and all the associated data, apps etc?
If there's a BMM thread you guys could point me to would be much appreciated.
Cheers!
Slot-2 uses webtop partition which is unused of size 1.8GB and no it wont eat up any space from slot-1 as this is different partition....If u want to format then just goto format options in recovery of system-2 and format webtop partion...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149286 link to BMM support page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720351 link to BMM 02.7 which has answers to ur question
BMM 0.3.4, which is the only supported version at the moment (the current version is available in the Play Market), uses completely different approach, so you need to clarify which one you installed.
I'm using BMM 0.3.4
Got it while installing the Vodafone 4.1.2 ROM... now exploring other 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 ROMs using slot-2
Also, another query, I don't have an SD card in my phone, and my internal SD card isn't mounted when I boot to slot-2 on cm10.1 based ROMs! How do I manually mount it.. tried a few suggestions in various forums, but still doesn't work (camera app exits and says no SD card
I created a 1 GB rom slot to try out the CM11 kitkat rom and have been enjoying it. The only problelm is that this rom does not yet support apps2sd and I have depleted enough free space that I cannot update apps anymore. Is there a way to increase the size of a rom slot or back it up and restore to a larger rom slot? I will just start over if necessary, but I'd really like to avoid that. If there is no good way to do that, are there efforts I can make ahead of time to minimize the hassle of resetting up? TIA
I assume you are using SafeStrap. If so you can boot into SS recovery, backup your custom ROM slot, delete the ROM slot, create a new ROM slot with sizes adjusted accordingly, activate the new slot, then restore your backup. I've done this successfully several times.

So, I am currently using SlimKat on ROM slot 1 on SafeStrap, and ran out of space due to the fact that Stock is taking a lot of space (User Data, No OS). I recently tried to transfer my SlimKat to Stock slot, and received a "Failed" Message.

The stock slot actually has less space for the system partition (where your ROM and GApps are installed) than the default size that Safestrap uses when it creates a ROM slot. Post #14 in this thread explain how the space in the stock slot is used and where it goes..
Wiping and replacing stock ROM?
Hi,
I had installed CM11 on my droid Razr using the Safestrap utility.
I created a rom slot activated it and then installed CM11 over it.. but now i am planning to sell my droid Razr....
So i wanted to remove everything and make it stock like... and so i deleted the safestrap application and was about to unroot my phone when i saw that my internal storage is still showing only 8GB as its size...
I am wondering where did the other 3GB (the partition that i created using safestrap) vanish ??
Can someone help me get all my empty space back by helping me deleted the partition...
Thanks
Only 8gb is usable always.

The partition exists as a file on the internal storage. I can't remember the name off hand but it should be obvious due to its size and name. Just delete the file to reclaim the space.

I don't believe that would cause any issues, but like any software mod, be prepared if it doesn't work. Worst case scenario, you should be able to go back to the previous SS and restore the rom there.

I did it without a issue. Sadly though i had 6GB of available space it only allowed 4GB for the data partion (i could put it at 6 and create the slot but once the slot was created it would go down to 4gb)
