I have a chuwi h8 pro and deleted the windows partitions on it
but when i went to resize the android data partition it won't let me.
it goes
/dev/mmcblk09 android_data
/dev/mmcblk10 android_persistent
/dev/mmcblk11 android_config
/dev/mmcblk12 android_efi_system partition
unallocated 17.78gb
i can't seem to change the android_data partition at all
i'd post a screenshot but i cant figure out how to save one to usb while in gparted.

How can I disable apps2sd and delete the ext2 partition
to go back to original sdcard format?
I don't really know..try to format it again?
Don`t know if it`s the right way,but
via Recovery menu I set swap partition size to 0
and ext2 partition size to 0,too!
Yeah i was thinking of that figure
After this sdcard storage,is back to original 1.84 GB!
I hope so all partitions deleted and it`s the right way
and not to do more.
Perhaps other possibilities there.
Im following the guid HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10999799&postcount=2056
and Im stuck on step 6, 7, 8:
6) Resize the FAT32 partition (Original Size minus [-] 1536MiB) and set the new 1536Mib partition to Primary and ext4
7) Resize this new partition again and leave 512MiB for 2nd ext4 so now you have one ext4 with 1024MiB and one ext4 with 512MiB space.
8) Apply
I have a 16GB card, and im following those directions absolutly to the T..
when Im done I have a 13656MB Fat32 partition, a 1024MB ext4 partition, and a 512MB ext4 partition.
I formatted the orignal 1636 block as primary, and then when I resized it to 1024 leaving 512, the 512 also formatted as primary and ext4 there is no other option other than that, they are greyed out.
hit apply, it said everything went successfully, but when I boot back in to windows to continue with step 11:
make a folder Desire_DL and copy in there ONLY the config file you just saved.
The card is unreadable, cannot copy anything to it.
If i put it back in the phone, the phone says it has to format it.
I am missing something, obviously, but I am following the directions absolutely as written.
What am I doing wrong?
I searched around and came across a thread with directions on Gparted, but it was only regarding a 2gb card and the version of Gparted was totally different looking than the one I am using, as was the purpose it was being used for (dual boot)
your doing it wrong.

Download the app from the above thread. gui will resize and integrity check the data.img aka ext3 partition if you are using windows.
If your on linux, you could do a loopback mount. But i'm assuming this isn't familiar, and following the steps in the thread #824154 will get your data.img resized correctly.
The tool is nice, because it also does a partition scan similar to doing it if you were using mkfs natively.
Best o luck
ahh
I just realized your trying to dual boot.
launch gparted, then look for the sdcard. It will recognize both fat,fat32,ntfs,ext3,ext4 file systems... you will not be able to read ext3 or ext4 partitions on a windows system unless you get the gpl dll that makes ext3 or 4 readable.
sorry to point you to towards the data.img repartition. I need to learn to read messages in their entirety.
Things would be easier if you were on a mac or linux OS....
hmm i got a little problem with my sd card ... i had 2 partitions on it and my os was recognizing the wrong one ... so i had to format it ... i deleted the 2 partitions (so i had unallocated space) and now i cant create a new partition or format it or whatever ...
its just like i never had one
is there any way to get some clean partition on it again?
btw i did that all with mini tool partition wizard home
nvm - bought a cardreader for ny pc and now i was able to create a new partition in the unallocated space so its useable again...
Hi!
Partitioned my 32GB sdcard, and put CM10.2 on it, but when I check it I have only about 400mb of space or something like that. I had the same amount of space on a 4GB sdcard I used before. Why am I not able to use up the rest of the GB's?! Can someone tell me how to fix it, I don't know if I'm partitioning wrong or doing something wrong, but I want to be able to have lots of extra space for music, apps, etc. Please help! Thanks!!!
I believe you used a low level utility like dd or similar to flash an image onto a partition.
You need to run fsck on that partition, then run resize2fs to expand the ext2/3/4 partition.
Let's say your partition is /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
You would do (in a terminal):
adb reboot recovery
adb shell
# umount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
# e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
# resize2fs /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
After that, your partition will get expanded to whatever size you made it.
It takes a while so be patient. The larger the partition, the longer it will take.

if you got a prebaked image of a bootable cm card from somewhere, then it usually has 4 partitions on it that were set to the sizes the author of the card specified.
/boot
/system
/data
/sdcard
You would need to put the card in a PC, and use a disk partitioning utility to resize the partitions
some of the images include additional flash files that you install to expand the card's partitions for you. (succulent's), but
you have to do it as you install for the first time.
I prefer to build the card empty first, and load the boot files and zips manually.
linux tools like gparted, Parted Magic , booting from a live USB or CD work pretty well.
Windows based ones like Easus Partition master, or Paragon, not so good.
Mini Tool partition wizard (windows/free) sometimes works
this looks to be a decent write up

The write-up is also posted on XDA at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098419. It was written back in the days of CM10.1, so to use it for CM10.2 or CM11:
Obtain the boot files: MLO, u-boot.bin, and flashing_boot.img -- as well as the files boot.img and recovery.img, from the /boot partition of the pre-made SD CM image. Make sure that MLO is the first file to copy to the freshly made /boot partition.
Substitute in the appropriate ROM and Gapps zip files corresponding to the particular CM build of interest.
