i realised that with the great JJ's rom i have 215mb of free space in my /system which becomes about 169 after integrating the system dalvik into the cache, plus keeping room for merging future updates into the rom i guessed that 150mb of space is annexable from /system (400-250) into the /data (420+150) .
the cache partition has 101.5mb size and can be reduced to 51.5.
only that i haven't been able to get it to work like i did on my g1, and my friend's wildfire.
620mb of space in the data partition is definitely exciting.
i am thinking that it may be cuz our recovery is built into the boot/kernel.
comments n suggestions please
UPDATE: i am getting the following error in the logs
+ echo -e recovery Patcher v1.5.8-Beta\npartition layout not found in dmesg
UPDATE : just tried the 1.5.9 beta autopatch. it's error says
Error misc not found in dmesg.
I tried to install cwm recovrey. After reboot I this error:

ADB also can not detect my device(on ubuntu)
Nexus 7 (2013) Repartition
No one is responsible for your actions except yourself. Everything written further may potentially brick your device, although risk is reduced to minimum.
This repartition package offers 1.5G /system; a /vendor partition and it is fully backward compatible with any ROM (including stock system.img).
Known-issues
HTML:
- If repartition pack says that device isn't correct,
than, if partition table wasn't modified before,
congrats! your device has different memory chip
that those I worked with. No worry, PM me and
I'll add support for it.
DO THE BACKUPs. Repartition will erase all your data
USB connection to PC is MANDATORY else you will not have opportunity to push ROM to your device
Backup
# Before processing further we highly recommend you backup persist and EFS using adb
# Or you might lose your IMEI/WIFI + BT mac addresses
Code:
adb root
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/modemst1.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/modemst2.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/persist.img
Now you can find 3 *.img files at path /sdcard. Copy them to your PC since internal memory will be erased.
Installation
HTML:
# This mod is backwards compatible with any ROM so we highly recommend NOT to reverse it if repartition went well.
# You should use ONLY recovery from this thread since other don't support all benefits of this mod.
# When installing ROM just after you flashed zip and before installing GAPPs you MUST make a resize in TWRP since all roms are build for ~800M system.
# Package is unified for flo and deb. To restore stock layout use same zip and steps as for repartition.
1. Boot into recovery (You need to allow system partition modification to be able resize /system in recovery).
2. Backup your data & Move your files from flash to your PC.
3. Flash repartition pack zip.
4. Do the actions asked by repartition pack (go to Terminal in ordinary recovery and input word that pack will tell you. Everything else will be done automatically).
5. Phone will reboot into recovery.
6. Install TWRP from below (it is build with support of new partitions layout and sizes. It can be differed from official TWRP by next format 3.x.x-1 UA).
7. Format everything. (mount errors will not affect formatting!)
- In TWRP: Wipe > Format data
- Type yes
- Once this completes go to: Wipe > Advanced Wipe
- Tick all the boxes and wipe. There should be no further mount errors. (Thanks [user=7694808]@mr_rubbish[/user] for corrections in formatting).
8. Install ROM which you like.
9. Enjoy better flash partition layout.
If something gone wrong - we recommend you NOT to do anything by yourself. Write here for help, else you may do only worse.

Common issues and F. A. Q.
Repartition pack should be safe for most devices. Common mistakes, issues and their solution will be published here.
1. You shouldn't flash any internal parts of repartition pack (*.sh files) only flash whole zip using TWRP. You may use my scripts for personal use or projects but authorship should to be kept.
2. If something isn't mounting after repartition try to format partitions that don't mount using Wipe -> Advanced Wipe in TWPR. Ideally you should format in that way all partitions in Advanced Wipe menu (see 5-th step of installation guide).
3. If you want to be sure that repartition went well I enclose loging zip. Flash it after repartition (when device reboots into TWRP). It won't modify anything only generates a partition.log in root of internal storage and outputs your current partition layout to screen. You should check if your layout is same as those fragments I provide under spoiler (file systems doesn't matter). If there are any differences you have to describe what you did and enclose partition.log to your post.

...
30 2348843008B 2610987007B 262144000B vendor
4. After flashing most ROMs system size will reduce to stock, you need to resize /system in TWRP or use flashable resize zip for ROMs that support addon.d (automatic resize when dirty flashing updates).
5. After returning to stock partition table you won't be able to get into the Recovery from the bootloader anymore, but when you start the tablet normally it goes straight in the Recovery. It is normal state. New partition table proposes larger /recovery size (16MB) while stock gives only 10MB. During restoring stock process, it is impossible to restore larger recovery backup into new smaller partition. Whether not to leave user without recovery excess, recovery backup restores into /boot partition. Just flash ordinary TWRP and install ROMs from it.
6. Don't install the zip file from the USB OTG. Copy them into the /sdcard. Else you will get message after flashing repartition pack.
Code:
"Can not extract updater-script. Do you have it in package?
Updating partition details...
...done"
Link not working for the repartitioning package...
@rlw6534 should be fine now
Any chance you give details on backing up persist and EFS with dd command? I'm not really a noob but I also don't want to mess up my tab...
@rlw6534 You actually should't brake anything. Added an instruction how to backup EFS and persist.
OK. Tried to flash on a clean, freshly wiped system (Flo 32G), all stock, ext4 on cache and Data, TWRP 3.2.3-0. Got the following:
******Applying dark magic******
This is not a Nexus 7 (2013)
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
How to restore files, that we copied from our tablet using dd command ? (I haven't done anything yet. Just asking)
Sent from my whyred using XDA Labs
@rlw6534 your partition table was modified.
@MikiGry same commands, just switch paths.

Do you mean that despite this error message:
******Applying dark magic******
This is not a Nexus 7 (2013)
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
The partition table has been modified correctly?
@lollyjay No it wasnt. Package has 2 step security system. It checks if partition table was modified and in what way (by package itself, by user or it is stock). Second step is that package itself doesn't modify anything, it needs manual confirmation in terminal, else no changes will be applied.

I have previously used sysrepart.zip and sysrepartundo.zip from this thread, although not recently:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76278047&postcount=19
I returned it to stock a while back (827MB). Perhaps I need to sgdisk a stock partition table?
@rlw6534 Every manual repartition or repartition made not by my pack needs an individual look and partition table restore.

OK. Here is my partition layout. My userdata appears to be smaller than stock, but there isn't enough room on mmcblk0 to increase it to the size that your script is looking for. I have no idea how that could have been changed without bricking the tab. Everything else looks normal. Ideas?

This is a port of Lanchon REPIT.

Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for your actions or consequences, directly or indirectly, related to the files and/or advice offered.
It is your choice to proceed.
What is REPIT?
REPIT is a simple, safe, device-only, data-sparing, and easily portable repartitioning tool for Android devices.
See the GitHub README for more on What REPIT is. GitHub - Link
Limitations:
Requires TWRP (or TWRP based) recovery.
Does not support encrypted devices.
Will cause data loss if the repartitioning process is externally interrupted.
See the GitHub README for more on Limitations. GitHub - Link
---
Notes:
A few years ago (September 2018), I made a port of REPIT for deb,flo and manta that was spread out between multiple threads.
Some comments and instructions were lost in thread chatter or just in a different thread altogether.
The file name actually configures the repit script.
Noted that you may have to toggle MTP Disable, Enable, Disable.
Noted that you may have to reboot into TWRP after disabling MTP.
Remember /tmp is wiped after a reboot. Copy repit to /sdcard and after rebooting back into TWRP, copy it from /sdcard to /tmp using TWRP File manager.
Noted that you may have to unmount cache and data.
Do NOT flash repit from USB/OTG.
This is designed for a stock partition layout. If your device has been modified and a vendor partition was created, REPIT will not work.
Side note:
Lanchon added Nexus 7 (2013) to the official list. (November 2019)

Be Careful.
There are always risks involved when you start messing around with a device.
If something goes wrong, you may end up with a non-working "bricked" device.
This is especially true when you start modifying partitions.
Backup what you want to save and store it off device.
Copy it to your computer, cloud storage, USB, ...
Instructions:
This operation might take a long time and must not be interrupted.
- Depending on the device and REPIT configuration, this might take a few hours.
Make sure your battery is fully charged or mostly charged.
- You can connect to a charger while the REPIT script is running. May or may not charge depending on the recovery.
How To:
If you already have a ROM installed, repit will backup, change the partition, restore and resize.
- You can just reboot once the script finishes.
Boot into TWRP
Swipe to Allow Modifications
Copy the repit zip to /tmp
Disconnect from computer
Disable MTP
Disable MTP TWRP -> Mount
Install repit
TWRP -> Install -> navigate to /tmp and flash the repit zip
Reboot to system
If you are doing a clean install, add the +wipe option to system in the zip file name. This will speed up the partitioning since system will not be backed up and restored.
lanchon-repit-20210221-cache=16M+wipe-system=1.3G+wipe-data=max-manta.zip
- Reboot back into TWRP after the script finishes.
- Then follow the instructions from the rom thread to install the rom you are going to use.

Note about configuration.
The user configuration is done by renaming the zip file before flashing it.
The modifiable partitions are cache, system and userdata (7, 8 and 9).
The actual partitioning is done by a sector range. This is declared inside the script along with a default configuration.
Code:
# the set of partitions that can be modified by REPIT:
# <gpt-number> <gpt-name> <friendly-name> <conf-defaults> <crypto-footer>
initPartition 7 cache cache "same keep ext4" 0
initPartition 8 system system "same keep ext4" 0
initPartition 9 userdata data "same keep ext4" $footerSize
# the set of modifiable partitions that can be configured by the user (overriding <conf-defaults>):
configurablePartitions="$(seq 7 9)"
...
# the set of contiguous partitions that form this heap, in order of ascending partition start address:
heapPartitions="$(seq 7 9)"
# the disk area (as a sector range) to use for the heap partitions:
heapStart=$(parOldEnd 6) # one past the end of misc.
heapEnd=$deviceHeapEnd # one past the last usable sector of the device.
The default zip name lanchon-repit-20210221-cache=16M+wipe-system=1.3G-data=max-manta.zip
Creates a 16M cache partition, the wipe option (+wipe) will stop the backup and restore of cache.
Creates a 1.3G system partition, since there is no wipe option, the system partition will be backed up, restored and expanded or compressed.
The rest of the space is used for userdata. (data=max) again, since there is no wipe option, data will be backed up, restored and expanded or compressed.
Setting a 16M cache and a 1.3G system, userdata will not be reduced. If system is set beyond 1.3G, userdata will be reduced by the same amount.
If you change the name to lanchon-repit-20210221-cache=16M+wipe-system=1.5G+wipe-data=max-manta.zip
Creates 16M cache partition, the wipe option (+wipe) will stop the backup and restore of cache.
Creates 1.5G system partition, the wipe option (+wipe) will stop the backup and restore of system and you will need to install a rom.
The rest of the space is used for userdata. (data=max) again, since there is no wipe option, data will be backed up, restored and expanded or compressed.
If you change the name to lanchon-repit-20210221-cache=16M+wipe-system=1.3G+wipe-data=max+wipe-manta.zip.
This will create a 16M cache partition, a 1.3G system partition and use the rest for userdata.
Since the wipe option is added to all, no backup and restore is done. Only empty/formatted partitions are created.
This will speed up the partitioning if you are doing a clean flash.
Userdata is erased also so, make sure to backup what you want/need to keep off device.
See the GitHub README for more on how to configure. GitHub - Link
Cheers all.

Hi there
I had some problems booting into Recovery and ERecovery. It would always stay endless in the Warning screen where it says that the Device is unlocked.
I run into it because of TWRP not Formating Data properly.
https://dl.twrp.me/anne/
twrp-3.5.1_9-0-anne.img14.6M 2021-03-13 15:27:54 ESTtwrp-3.5.0_9-0-anne.img13.2M 2020-12-27 21:03:29 EST
This Versions get stuck at:
Code:
Formatting Data using mkfs.f2fs...
Done
After it beeing stuck I could usually reach erecovery and wipe . But at one point it wouldn't work and I couldn't reacht the two and also couldn't stop the device from endless starting after shutting down.
I tried to flash several images from this one: https://androidhost.ru/1nfK
After flashing odm.img I could access the reflashed Stock Recovery and E-Recovery.
Update: Erasing Data with fastboot also works.
Note: It would show Google instead of Huawei at startup and in fastboot FRP:Unlocked doesn't show anymore after flashing odm.img
Else:To reach erecovery or twrp recovery I retried often to hold power and volume up when the device is turned off. It then vibrates two times when it works. I hat sometimes to try for 10 Minutes to reach one of the to.
I unlocked with PotatoNV. The phone can be opened quite comfortable with a straight package plastic like from a cabel or electric device and a hairdrier.
Update: I can actually not format Data with any of these TWRPs. This was working before flashing the odm or maybe an other image.

Yes, you have installed wrong TWRP (version 3.4.0.x and 3.5.0.x is not fully compatible with our device and it's strongly NOT recommended do 'wipe data' runnig stock ROM , it may brick the phone).
Use recommended TWRP:

If you want to flash LOS from TWRP (idk why, but it's your choice), use 3.2.1 by pretoriano80 (wiping etc.) After installing custom ROM, you can replace 3.2.1. with 3.4.0.0-emui9_eR.

Hi Alf
Thanks for the reply. Very gratefull for this. I'm trying since Weeks to get this running.
I just want a phone with minimal Google. I had /e/ but I didn't find a build and back in the days linage would be fine.
You think there is something which makes more sense?

Thanks for the Links to the Image files. I would never have found them myself. I tried now a few hours to make them run.
Formating and Wiping works with 3.2.1 by pretoriano80
I tried both images, but am not shure. I get an invalid zip file error when I copy it on the device. Sideload doesn't work. No connection or Success or Success 00.00 X.
I make it a zip on linux with --> unxz --> img2simg --> Create Zip Directory wit xarchiver.
I tried different combinations of this. First I forgot about simg and just made a zip out of the img.

Of course, it is not a flashable .zip file.
You have to install it as image file, unpack .zip package, transfer exctracted .img file to the SD card. In TWRP go to Install , select Install image, choose lineage .img file , mark "system image" and flash.
If you need to do a factory reset , first replace TWRP with stock recovery and perform factory reset in recovery.
Or, flash Lineage.img in fastboot,without TWRP, wipes, errors etc. (make sure to have the stock recovery flash) - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/losq-lineageos-17-1-18-1-unofficial-gsi.4219291/post-84305543
