Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, I too get that feeling of size lock emmc as on when I flash my Canvas HD a116 i think it is size lock with "mbr" file which os used to alocate 4GB in process of flash some have provided other mbr files that is modified to extend but I did not used any as I have no spare MT6589 chip when I get one I eventually will test it you can search on xda. Even there is a little app called "meteos MT6589" just a click to expand partition but after that have to factory format to settle the partition so nanadroid backup is must. I will link you that thread of mbr flashable files it is in my bookmarks have to search a little.

[Q] Vivo Y22 Storage Too Small (and other questions)

Dear developers,
Recently I got a new phone Vivo Y22 with Funtouch OS v1.0 (Christmas present). Its was okay at first then it start telling me that storage has not enough space (with only factory apps and Clean Master). I realize the it had about 4GB internal storage but divided to 2 parts. 2.5GB for system space and 1.06GB as internal storage. In system space, i have only 150mb left I always need to use Clean Master to wipe cache before I download anything. I tried Link2SD, I formatted my SD card and set 4GB partition as EXT2 but did not detect. Same goes for EXT3 and EXT4. It only works for FAT32 but some files cannot be linked using this format. Read some threads in web, they mentioned some phone does not support EXT2,3,4 format. Maybe this is my case? I tried to look for informations about Vivo Y22 but very less and worst, some of them is in chinese.
So the 1st question is: How can I increase the system space? Could I adjust the system space to occupy my more of my Internal Memory?
Second question is, how do I update my phone from JellyBean to KitKat? Do I follow tutorials that uses the same Chipset (Y22 uses MediaTek MT6582)? How if I want to install custom ROMs like CM11 (can't find Vivo Y22 in Device section in CM site so i presume it is not supported?)? There is very less information about rooting and flashing when it comes to this phone. I only manage to root the phone using tutorials given for some other chinese phone.
Thanks in advance..

Did you ever manage to fix this? I'd love to root my Y22 and put vanilla Android on there but can't find how to do it. The memory problem is useless on this phone.

Allview P5 Life MTK8382 Internal Storage

Hey there!! Maybe you can give me some advice on how I can modify the partition system on this device. The internal storage has 2 partitions, one of 0.98GB and the other of 4.94GB. The problems is only the small one can be used for apps. Is there anyway in which I can increase the size of the small partition?? The device is rooted and I have TWRP installed on it. If you need any new information ask me. Thank you friends.

[HELP][Q] Brandless China phone /system Corrupted.Only Can Boot to recovery

Hi
I have a china phone has no brand it's Model is ISTAR V3 W
It has internal memory of 1GB and SDcard(not ext SD) memory of 4GB
i think(The rest of the specs i dun really know).
So the internal storage was like only 1GB so i searched google and found the HKromEditor Tool so i used it increased it to 2.5GB for MT6582 and after that i had more memory but with 2 storage with the second storage with 3.8GB
So after that ported Blisspop because i didn't like the stock of it.
I ported it from
http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/08/blisspop-lollipop-for-mt6582.htmll
I did do a TWRP backup of the Original and the Ported
So It worked . but it only detect 1 storage on which was the 2.5gb storage.
so i went google and searched on how to repartition the 2 storages to 1 and i found "meteos-mtk6589-rom-edit..." which was a recreation from the tool i used before and i tried it by using the 3rd option and now my phone is with /system partition of 486MB and i think the rest of it went to /data and have no firmware to fix it.
anyone please help me to partition it back to normal

help me, TWRP not recognize the internal memory and external memory card

Hello everybody. I created TWRP first time, I'm happy for that, but unfortunately my TWRP recognizable external memory card and internal memory of the machine. I had to learn on the network, known as the unedited memory partition, but I do not know how.
