Hello i have One questione. It's possible build pit file that increase data partition such as i9100 for example?
Yes but only by a few 100MBs only if you are using a custom CAF/AOSP based rom as they use a lot less space on the system partition. Also this is very dangerous as if you mess anything up the phone will be completely unrecoverable bricked so do this at your own risk but it is quite pointless, you could just get an sd card and use that as adoptable storage on Marshmallow

Liquid Smooth ROM. - Amazing rom btw. I cant thank those folks enough for their brilliant work
TWRP for recovery
Ive done numerous dalvic/system/cache/data wipes through twrp in preparation for new roms. But my INTERNAL 16 gb SD card always shows that i have around 12GB USED. thats with no personal apps installed
Heres my question. How do i remove all unnecessary data thats hogging up space. I want a CLEAN space to work with!
I do have 4 twrp recovery files (4gb worth of data?) stored in there. Im assuming the system uses about 3 gb's. plus the gapps and liquid rom are only 194 mb combined. So that accounts for maybe 7 or 8 gb
So how do i do a totally clean wipe without losing twrp, recovery files AND root!
the only wipe option ive never used is USB-OTG. (USB On The Go?) No idea what it is or what it does. so i never messed with it. Ive read that it acts like a driver of some sort to allow usb devices to communicate with each other..
Ive also never gone into the Format data section of twrp out of fear that i might wipe the wrong things and render my phone useless
One article i read said that i might have to revert back to stock? im hoping thats not so. And do a factory wipe. Is that different from TWRP's functions? Im assuming that i would lose root.
they said din flash to stock
Odin master clear (or wipe SD from settings)
*2767*3855# on the phones keypad ...(i think codes in general only work on stock TW)
Do i have to format the sd card? would i lose important partitions that would delete the recovery system?
any ideas? i considered opening a partition wizard app to see the different partions on the internal sd card.
I'm no expert on this, but I think that Liquid Smooth has a place in Settings to let you view the space allocation of the storage in your phone and external SD card.
Go to Settings > Storage (or something similar) and take a look at how much space is being allocated of each of the different types of data. It might give you a better idea on what might be taking up that additional ~4GB of space.
If you can, provide us with a screenshot of the Storage screen. If not, you can just type them here so we can better understand what might be going on.
Back up internal sdcard to your computer.
Wipe data/factory reset.
Wipe /data/media.
You can do this through TWRP. Won't lose anything except contents of your internal sdcard. Which is why you back it up first.
Don't forget the formatting of the filesystem does this. Just like windows a 100gig hard drive formats to a smaller amount.

Hi, i am user of this phone for few weeks now, and one thing that annoy me to insanity is that internal storage is mounted as sdcard.
Is there a way to mount real sdcard as sdcard, not as external sdcard? So data partition remain as regural android data partition?
I have 32GB sdcard but internal storage is get filled with just few installed games (witch have it's large obb game files), and when i was buying this phone, size of internal storage was first thing i looked (on my previous phone, small data partition was also so frustrating to me, even with large sdcard)
I updated to .101 firmware (4.3) first day when i bought phone (it came with JB4.1.2), so i don't know is it same on previous firmwares.
My model is c6502, bootloader locked and not rooted. If it fix this problem, i will not mind to unlock bootloader and/or root (i didn't do it so far only because it's time consuming, and by the time i learned how to do it, i had so much stuff installed that i will need even more time to do backup/downgrade/root/upgrade/restore).
I would like to know if other roms (stock or cm-based) also mount internal storage as sdcard? I prefer stock-based, so maybe it can be done only with custom kernel?

It took me some time, but i'm marking this as [SOLVED], even i still didn't find complete colution
I manage to mount sd card as internal storage (formated in ext4), but i still didn't find a way to mount data partition as sdcard1
Thanks @Gustavo RD78 for he's Advanced stock kernel for KitKat 10.5.A.0.230 beacuse i couldn't make it myself (and i needed only to edit ramdisk from .img file)
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

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.
Hi all, long time lurker, first time posting.
I'm trying to work something out with my galaxy tab s, but there is a specific question I can't seem to find the answer to, and I don't to mess anything up. I got my tablet a few months ago, and flashed TWRP using the instructions in the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/root-cf-autoroot-twrp-t800-t3079488 and then later installed Cyanogenmod 12.1.
One thing I didn't realize when i initially set up the device was that most apps install only to the device now, and have issues with SD card installation. I did some research and found out about creating a second partition using Aparted and linking files with link2sd (there also seems to be an option to do this in TWRP). However, most of the instructions I've found said that it will wipe the SD card.
I'm just trying to figure out whether I can create the second partition without affecting my cyanogenmod install, or will i need to plan on wiping the SD card, creating the partitions, and then reinstalling Cyanogenmod? Heck, it might be the case that Cyanogenmod was installed to the device, and not the SD card, so I wont have a problem--but better to ask then risk a brick or any other functionality issues.
Thanks very much!
You can safely wipe the sdcard without it affecting the system partition where cm is installed.
You will simply lose anything on the sdcard.
If you use a windows app such as mini partition tool you don't have to lose anything as you can simply resize the partition already on the sd card without losing data then create another in the unused space.

HI,

delete every system app you dont use or else use an alcohol wipe to clean your phone frm rubbish and all
hit thanks if i helped
Wiped all... But the 5gb for system continues Unavailable

i was trolling and theres no way to do anything to free space in cm as is thoroughly cleaned and free of bloatwares
Solution would involve changing partition size, but that's up to you to risk it or not.
How this work?
You change your partition sizes with adb but a lot of people hard brick their phones doing this. You can modify other people's repartition scripts from other phones to create an easily flashable zip file you can run in your recovery. We had to repartition the mi3w to increase system1 by sacrificing system 2 so you could install gapps with custom roms on lollipop and marshmallow. All in all unless you're experienced in adb and recovering bricked phones I wouldn't recommend doing it. Just buy a 64gb sd card for $16 from newegg or use a system app manager and just turn 5 gigs of your user apps into system apps (root needed).
