Hi all,
I've been planning to install Remix OS on my USB stick, but had not take into action due to the complexity in rooting the system image. Now that Remix OS 3.0 has come out and has built-in root, I figured it might be time to try Remix once again. Once in the installer however, I'm greeted with the same problem as before - too little space for the shared data partition.
The USB stick in question is a 16GB one which I previously used for file transfer. I don't transfer much files but I'd still like to reserve at least 4GB in case of emergency. Unfortunately, Jide decided to also reserve a lot of space for system and data partitions, so the installer gives me this layout...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...which leaves much less space than I desire.
Since this Remix OS installation will be "just for fun", i.e. I won't install much stuff on it, what I want is to shrink data to 4GB and/or shrink system to 3GB or less, so that I get plenty of space for storage.
I tried my hands with both Minitool Partition Wizard and DiskGenius, but both throw errors when trying to resize the system partition; they are also unable to touch the data partition.
I also intend to recreate the layout from scratch: I copied every file (hidden and system files included) from the system partition to somewhere else, repartitioned the USB stick to this layout...
...and put the copied files back in the 2nd FAT32 partition. However doing it this way gives me a back screen when booting from the stick.
Now I'm out of ideas. Has anyone met a similar use case, and how was it resolved? Thanks in advance for helping!

For roms like cm12 the internal storage is a bit small and I often got a "no free storage left" message. I did a bit of research and as for the Xperia S it is possible to resize the internal storage.
Now it looks like this.
Is anyone interested in a guide how to resize the partitions? If you do you'll lose everything stored on the device and the sd card and need to backup everything.

It is possible to merge internal memory(sometimes called device storage) and sdcard0.(sometimes called internal storage). However it is usually risky business and flashing over can hardbrick your phone.
However there are other ways to do it.
First is to move apps to sdcard, which is done best by Titaniumbackup (It requires root)
Secondly you can use a software likelink2sd which would use your memory card(you decide how much) and link it with your internal memory.
If you have still problems, you can quote me for an answer.
Good luck
Can you explain the process for link2sd, as xperia p doesn't contain SD card?
Greetings people,
I own a Lenovo k50 t (a7000) and i recently took it to a phone "service" shop, if i can call it that way, to install a add less ROM.
Said and done, i leave my phone there and return a few hours later to pick it up, everything seemed fine till i wanted to install a new app.
I got a error message telling me i had insufficient space, which is strange since it had a fresh OS on it, so i decided to check the storage space details
and to my amazement it showed me i had 1,3 Gigs total internal Memory from wich 1,2 G was used by the OS. I used ES File Explorer to look up the storage details.
Then i did the same thing using the storage details tab from the OS "settings" window and it showed 16Gigs of wich 14,5 Gigs being "OS Used".
I got a feeling that the partitions got damaged or something like that.
I already tried formating everything via CWM and reinstaling a new software, it worked but the partition was still the same size, 1.3 Gigs.
Could anyone help me out please?
Thanks in advance,
Mike.

I took it back to the service and the guy managed to fix it.
He wouldn't tell me how tough.
Im guessing the partitions were screwed up and he rewrote those.
First of all sorry for my english.
I have installed Remix Os on my usb stick and it works perfectly.
Now I need to root the system, so I am trying to access to remixos files on Windows 8, but I see only one of the partitions.

Please help me. TIA

Windows won't see the Linux partitions. Best thing to do is either install Linux on a separate parition, install Linux in a virtual machine, or use a bootable partition manager like GParted to work with your Android partitions.
well reformat ur usb b and re burn remix os .iso with unetbootin ( http://unetbootin.github.io ) and ur drive should be visible
I wonder if ReactOS supports MTP.
And if it's possible to use ADB and Fastboot from there.
If I'll have time, I'll test it out at home.
All this is because ReactOS supports ext4 partitions.
First off, I have a Galaxy S5, rooted, xposed installed, with 6.0.1.
So I partitioned my SD card a few months ago and I haven't had any issues. My apps were installing just fine and I was no longer getting any errors in regards to low system memory.
Today, I received the dreaded low system memory message and went to investigate.

When I try to view the details under User Data, thing's don't quite add up:
I am fairly tired so pardon my mistake in judgment if the solution is simple. However, I cannot wrap my head around why I am getting this error when everything was working fine previously.
When I plug in my phone, this is what you see in regards to the visible partitions:
As you can see, there is a lot of memory left on both internal storage and the SD card.
In addition to the phone storage indicated there, I had also partitioned off a portion of my SD card to be used as app storage. As it stands, when I go to storage, this is what is shown:
Here are the details of the expanded storage and again, I am unable to make sense of the numbers.
If you could provide some assistance in making sense of this, I would be eternally grateful! Thanks!
My guess is that maybe at some point I had booted up my phone without my SD card in and it changed how the partition was recognized and all of the app data was migrated back over to the phone. This would mean I would have to back up my SD card, delete all of the partitions, and then repartition the card using ADB. I hoping this is not the case because I don't remember that process being fun.
Again, thanks ahead of time and hopefully there is an easy solution to this.
Hello, I bought a new laptop, installed windows 11 and all the programs I need, the computer doesn't need anything else and from now on I would like to save the system and all the programs installed in case of unexpected events.
I downloaded Macrium Reflect free (it's in Italian but I couldn't choose at the time of installation).
Now I'll explain my doubts; I have a 1tb external hard drive, with Mini Partition Tools I created two partitions, one of 100 gb in which I thought of saving the data and the other of about 800 gb that I would like to use to keep the games and programs that I rarely use, in your opinion is it ok to create a backup in a partition of an external hdd? Can it work? Can I format a pc by making it choose the iso from a hdd partition?
I created a backup and had Macrium verify the iso, it says everything is fine.
Another question, in the Macrium screenshot you can see the ssd on which the operating system is installed, the first one in the list (the one with the ticks), when you do a backup, you have to include all those partitions or you only need the one where the operating system is installed?
Third and last question, I'm doing all this in case I have problems with the PC and I want to format and re-install everything, to do this, what should I do? A backup? Create a system image ? Or other options?
Thanks to anyone willing to read and help me out.
