Currently my RAZR has 2 slots used. Stock and Slot-1 with CM11. I want to install CM12 but do not want to get rid of CM11 just yet.
My Stock slot has a spare 2GB of data space, since i never use that slot anymore. I want to remove 1GB so that i can make a Slot-2 partition for CM12. Is there a way or is there an app that will allow me shrink the Stock data partition size from 3GB to 2GB.

You can make a backup of slot1, then delete the data partition then recreate it to the size you want then restore your backup

I have been doing lots of ROM / Kernel experimentation on my VZW S4, and on attempting to take a backup of my most recent good configuration I received an error from TWRP that there is not enough space available because there is not enough space for my /Data partition which TWRP sees as 2438401MB or 2.4TB!
Since it is impossible that my on device /Data partition is 2.4TB, anyone have any suggestions on how to repair?
Or do I need to do a full install via Odin using the repartition option?
Thx.
Wow, it would be cool if you had 2tb, umm sounds like the recovery is corrupt, if it were me, I would try that first, if it does not work, do the odin flash to stock.
Good luck.
I reinstalled the TWRP recovery, and also reflashed a Verizon stock image file...but TWRP is still reporting my /data partition at 2.4TB.
I'm thinking I need to repartition, but have never done so on an Android device.
Recommendations?
I would try reading the odin features and what it does to re-partition. It has that option, but messing with the partition structure will cause a hard brick if not careful.
good luck.
Okay, I did an complete factory restore using the image from the following thread and now have a properly sized /data partition.

hehe you got off easy...good deal.
Can you tell TWRP to do its backups to the SD card rather than internal memory?
Thinking about getting an S4 but w/only 9GB free, would like to keep my backups on the SD card I'm going to get for it. I know I could move them there after creating them, but don't want to deal with having to move them back and forth if I need to restore one.

yes. thats what i do. However, I was using TWRP to backup my aokp rom that i set up and it wouldnt back it up and read the size would be 16gigs. However, my slim rom backup just fine without reporting a huge file size.
Trying to install a ROM for the first time and I'm using Safe Strap. I try to install a ROM on slot 1 or any other ROM slot for that matter and it says I don't have enough space for my Data partition. How can I make more space? I tried wiping the internal storage using Safe Strap but it gives me an error. Any suggestions?

Try to use clean master to clean app and system cache,and put some big data app in the ext-sd,it's an intuitive app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard
for a rom you need at least 2 gb
Some rom will boot only in rom slot 1 with safe strap,(all cyanogen mod "CM 10..1" for exemple) read the developer info

I am having this same issue. I deleted a ton of apps and ran the cleaner and it is still showing that I am short on space. What else can I do? Getting very aggravated.

before flashing a rom, i made factory reset.
Did u try factory reset/wipe?
Yes, if you have a ton if pics, music, downloads, etc on your internal memory transfer it to micro sd. Stated above "For a rom you need at least 2 gigabytes" is mis leading,(if not referring to total partition size) as you are givn a choice of 1, 2 or 3 gig space. I have never used anything over 1gig, and never ran out if space/memory. Factory reset does not clean your phones storage.. I suggest manually deleting/ formatting for best results to get your space/memory back.

so I just tried Safestrap on my S4, says I have 12MB of space left. I just wiped my entire phone, and it's still at 12MB of space, before and after the wipe, am I missing something?
EDIT: I installed the ATT version of it by mistake, genius me
Same Problem here
I am having the same problem. I have deleted most apps. Deleted all pics & music, still not enough space to flash ROM. I am on XT912 RAZR Rooted.
have a look at this link
I had a similar problem until I found this link, I think I just used the top/first method as I had luckypatcher installed already.

hope it is a help to you
SafeStrap uses the space on your internal sdcard for creating slots.
Apart from the data, it creates two more partitions viz system and boot so the amount of free space required is (sizeOf) data + 900 MB.
So if you chose say 1GB for data, then you must have about 1.9 GB of free space on your internal sdcard.
Confirm before you try to create a slot.

So, did any of the suggestions here resolve your issue???

No you can't change the stock system partitions.
This thread is for creating partitions on sdcard using a specific recovery. This is not universal.
I haven't tried any custom roms yet because frankly default jb is great.
I was wondering though, when you flash a custom ROM, will it use the application storage partition for your apps? Or will it want you to install apps on the roms partition?
The apps install on the individual rom's partition, because each romslot used creates a new partition that the rom recognizes as the only available storage space. This is the biggest reason some people opt out of using safestrap or bmm- the rom space is limited. They end up flashing over stock so they have all 8 gb, just as they would normally. Every app installed on each rom takes up space on the internal storage (a lot of redundancy).

Safestrap (/BMM), creates rom-slots on your internal sdcard. A rom-slot has its own /system, /data partitions and is independent of any other rom-slot or stock slot.
Thanks fellas. I didn't think you could use a custom rom on the razr without ss or bmm because of the locked boot loader. Can you?
And it's lame how theres a different partition for apps. Internal storage and apps should share a partition like on other android phones I've used.

Locked bootloader means no flashable recovery.
And you cannot flash a ROM without custom recovery.
So the only way is Safstrap or BMM.
Its nothing different. Every android phone has these partitions.
/boot stores the kernel
/system stores the ROM
/data stores app and user data.
What SS does is create a copy of these partitions (like a virtual system) on the internal sdcard and set is to boot. Its the only way since the BL is locked.

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 had got a CWM back up of my stock ROM with some modifications of some system files, Xposed, BBS, Greenify & Amplify installed previously. Now I had flashed a an Miui custom ROM. With this ROM, there is no option to install apps to SD Card(external). I had flashed a zip that converts external SD to internal and vice versa. Now my question is: If I restore 'data' from the previously taken CWM back up, then will I face any problem? As my default internal memory is the external SD, then when apps are restored will it get stuck up midway as the external memory size now is reduced from 26 GB to 4 GB? I had used Link2SD after creating a 2nd partition. Now, how can I get those appa stored in the 2nd partition? One thing I observed is, Xposed V80 is not working with this Miui custom ROM.(getting boot loop)
