would it be possible to take the 5 or whatever partitions and just have one entire nand partiton? that way instead of wasting half of our partitions to unused space we could have one "giant" (lol 1gb ≥ giant) partition and we could also know exactly how much space is left on the nand

Hi.. what is size defalut of system partition in NAND? i mean how big can be my rom to use it to nand all...
BTW i have usable froyo sense but still on ext4.. i want make it smaller to put it on NAND
sys/data - ext4/NAND.
maybe i will up it here 19-20/3 if it will be completed
Big thanks to jholtom
I believe it is 102 megabytes by default. (+/-5)
I usually for any sense rom except HTC tattoo 1.6 use atools and expand the system memory to about 168 megabytes
If you are going ext4 for /system and /data on NAND, just move the slider so that Data has the entire NAND drive (or leave about 16MB on /system), and if you use ext4 for /system, you'll have exactly 256MB for /system.
I just wanted help creating optimized nand partitions so i can have more storage space and setting cache smaller or removing it all together. How do I go about creating custom sizes and how to do it using Android SDK, and the AVD etc...
Thanks
BTW - I will NOT be using the sd card for any storage EXCEPT DCIM (Camera Save Folder). I want only 2 folders on my SD card. My personal created "Multimedia" folder and "DCIM". I don't want all the other worthless crap automatically being written to the sd card. I want the maximum amount of nand for my apps. I will be storing all my apps and games on the nand. I also want to make sure my 3d performance is good as well. If the nand cache size has to do with performance.
I want an ideal size for system partition for maximum space efficiency. I want the largest possible data partition for my apps. I then want to make the cache about 30-40MB. Just big enough to avoid Market app issues. Or as much cache as you guy's think the device needs.
WHAT ARE THE FACTORY NAND PARTITION SIZES FOR THE USA 1024MB HTC HD2?
Hi,
I was formatting my memory card in DHD using 4EXT recovery and I keep wondering what is the use of second sd-ext partition? To be precise, I mean sd-ext2, not sd-ext (I know its used for apps2sd). Does it work like backup partition if the first one runs out of memory? But that wouldn't make sense, since you can just create one big partition. My second thought was that maybe you install linux on it if you want to have it in your smartphone (like ubuntu or debian).
And the second question is about swap. Does anyone uses it at all? I used to have it on my old HTC G1, but I don't think it makes sense to use it now. Are there any roms that take advantage of swap and does it make them work faster (particularly the new big sense 3.x roms)?
Thanks in advance for any responses,
BR, Jack.
edit: I wrote the same topic on my native polish board and I got responses, but that's not what I meant so I decided to write more precise what I mean.
I know there are such apps like ie. link2sd, which use second partition on the memory card as partition for storing applications, data etc. They use the bolded partition (numbers are numbers of partitions on memory card):
1. fat32
2. sd-ext
What I am talking about is second ext partition, like this:
1. fat32
2. sd-ext
3. sd-ext2
It surely doesnt mean format of partition (like ext2, ext3, ext4), it means there is a second ext partition. Both of them can be formatted differently, both can have different ext (like ext2, ext3, ext4). What is the use of sd-ext2 partition? Does it serve as a backup partition for first sd-ext? Or you can install linux on it?
from what i've seen reading around on this forum, swap isn't necessary on a desire HD, the phone has enough ram
not sure about a second sd-ext though sorry
For what i gather... only 4Ext has it... why not ask them?
Hello.
How many ext partitions can I have?
I clicked "make partition" a few times in amo-ra. Does that mean I have many ext partitions?
If the free space on your SD-Card got smaller then a) you just have one big EXTn partition or b) you have several EXTn partitions... if you really want to know, boot gparted..
Did one really need to make a post about this? Is it not just something you could have logically found out yourself or researched rather than straight up making a new thread?
I have 1.8GB of free space on my SYSTEM partition. Is there any way to shred that down so I can have more space on my DATA partition?
I'm running cm12.1 on my t805

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As far as I know it is not possible because system partition size is fixed in source of the ROM. Theoretically it could be done but I am not sure if custom recovery also needs to be customised like ROM? I think best solution would be to buy large sdcard (64GB) ?

It is somewhat possible to resize partitions by adjusting the parameters in the pit file.
However how risky this is for the sake of what, 1.5gb, I don't know?
The better option, if you don't want to waste that space, is to use it.
Move your apps from user to system apps.
Its easy enough to do and can be accomplished with little effort using apps already available and with the bonus of gaining the extra space on the data partition.
Thanks guys. I just moved some of my bigger apps to system partition.
