The system partition(s) are only about 2.5Gb in size.
Someone posted a guide to resizing partitions but be extremely careful because it's easy to brick your phone doing that.

about pen drive the answer is no... but m not sure about ubuntu...
Ubuntu will not be available for Galaxy Y as Ubuntu needs dual core specs to run on any device and our phone doesn't meet the requirements
Using external USB devices is not yet possible
there are some ROMS check out which one you would like on your device
here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1472
Use a2sd to use mem card as internal memory
Check out d general and development section for instructions.

Mira, for Z5s Mini the tools are diferent, as you said this is diferent phones, diferent hardware. I'm using Z5S Mini So I can help you.
For Z5S Mini you need :
1) ADB Drivers - adb_drivers_z5s_mini_install
2) Root - AnzhiRoot
3) Get to Recovery - z5s_mini_Recovery
4) Install Gapps - gapps-jb-20130812-signed_2 .
I will send you Download link to these tools in a PM, because I can't post outside links.

There are pictures of this recovery in English, but you must find it in GOOGLE! Not only to wait someone to tell you. But because I'm a good person I will tell you - The "INSTALL FROM SD" is the SECOND option, and The WIPE/FACTORY resset is the THIRD OPTION.
First option is REBOOT DEVICE.
Good luck.
Hallo
i have rooted it and make cwm for googleapps, it runs fantastic!
now i see i can make a firmwareupdate with FOTA (firmware over the air).it has ca 160 mb.

We hope. Anyway there is an available function on ZTE Z5S mini (the "Screen projection") which permits to send a
stream video to the monitor via WiFi (i don't know if the audio stream too and i don't know if the mirroring is available),
i think that it uses DLNA (more likely) or Miracast technology, but i'm not sure to 100%, can someone confirm it?
hello guys. i have the huawei honor 2 phone and im thinking of upgrading it to this or to nubia z5s but i got a few question.
does phone mini have goriila glass also like nubia z5s?
how is battery life?
how much screen time do you get at maximum with brightness on lowest?
can you replace battery?
does zte nubia z5s mini have slowmotion camera like in z5s here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLS4fwFLwNs
the only things i dont know why to take nubia z5s or z5s mini is
reasone to take z5s mini has micro sd card whitch is great + its cheaper + snapdragon 600 is fast enought to run anything that's in the playstore (am i wrong about this?)
reasone to take z5s regular is = better screen with less battery draining + bigger battery + faster cpu+infrared but higher price and sd card only 16gb
whats really importent is to know how is battery life ... thanks!
ZTE Nubia Z5 Mini -root, recovery, Play Store
Hello, I have had a chance to test Nubia Z5 Mini and I recorded a video on how to get root access, as well as install recovery and Play Store.

My review with camera test:
Fota
Hi,
I also have same problem now, and I have no idea how to go further from the chinese recovery. Are there some different ways to update the firmware? Fota remembers me often that I should update, and it's annoying... Someone help us, please!
Answer delay
I have smartphone zte z5s mini nubia with custom ROM miui 4.2.28.
Every time I slide the bar for answering an incoming call and I say "YES...", the caller can not hear my "Yes" and I can not hear him/her for the same short time, as well.We can hear each other after 3 seconds.
What should I do?
Thanks
i got this phone today but could not for the life of me get any recovery to work i updated the adb n everything but all i get is a black screen no lights nothing can anyone help me cos otherwise im gunna have to send it back
wifi issue, I need the files in /persist
I have a fully functional zte nubia z5s mini ( except from wifi and bt) rooted, english CWM, latest MIUI. Formatting /persist partition before installing MIUI caused the issue, there is a relevant thread explaining it all at bbs.nubia.cn/thread-112804-1-1.html (understood it using google translate).
To fix it I just need some files that were in that partition (nothing special, can be viewed with any root explorer) and get them back. Re-flashing any ROM wont do the job because that's the essence of the specific partition, to contain some files that wont be replaced by flashing a rom from recovery as I discovered by similar threads at xda for other phones.
The thing is that I cant download the files from nubia forum because to get the link I must register and registration does not work for me without any apparent reason.
Could someone make a copy of its own files ? There is nothing personal in there or phone specific / unique .. Net / BT drivers, and configuration files
As I said, nothing special needed, just copy all files / folders from /persist and make a zip .. I guess a backup from CWM would work also, never tired it (never needed to restore anything till now)
The issue is very annoying because apart from WiFi problem the phone is fully functional .. I know whats the problem, the files I need and the procedure (a simple copy) but after 3-4 days of searching have not been able to find the files ..
Could somebody please help by sending me its own files from /persist ?

Hi mrasnik0,
in this package there is the file "z5s_mini_Recovery.exe" that installs the CWM Revovery v6.0.4.5.
I would install a CyanogenMOD 11 KitKat on my Z5S mini but i need for a greater version of CWM recovery,
do you know if is available a CWM recovery version greater than 6.0.4.5 ?
...Update...
I would install the CyanoGenMod 11 4.4.2 version but to do this i
need TWRP Recovery first (because CWM Recovery can't flashes Android version 4.4.2),
can anyone tell me how can i do?
PS: i have downloaded TWRP Recovery (TWRP_kk_z5smini_v3_fix) through "tdbeta.cn" (i'm not able to link the thread) anyway
i follow the instruction but recovery mode is always set on CWM, i can't set TWRP as default recovery,
moreover ROM Manager doesn't detect TWRP Recovery but detects only CWM Recovery and Stock recovery
What i can do?
Thanks for answers
Matteo

That error shows that your kernel doesnt support swap. Could you provide more information as which rom and kernel you are using?
And i also dont recommend you to create swap file using this apps because someone had bricked their wonder using similar apps. Here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095573
Here is another method to create swap file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145133 AFAIK this is the best and safest for creating swap file

OK brother. Firstly, I recommended khan kernel to you because of its extra 20 mb ram feature. I thought it may help you, and also it is good and smooth kernel. It has extra processors and i/o schedulers, and some specifications. :good:
Furthermore, you can use turbo boost http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145133 to increase ram. I recommend three swap way (cache/system/data)
Moreover, 64 mb swap file you mentioned is zram of the kernel, I think. In addition, you can disable it(64 mb) by using Performance Control app, here is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2401988
If I'm wrong, someone please let us know the correct information.
thank you!

That is normal bro The 64mb swap file is zram. It is ON by default in cm11. I think there is an option for it under performance in settings. But i suggest you to left it untouched as zram is compressed ram and wipp help in ram management
uhh thx guys, i were see my ram were boost when using turbo boost thx:good:

Awesome! I'm trying
Ok so I tried this rom finally! Here's my feedback:
First of all I'm a bit confused why is this called cyanogenmod 14, because its not cm. It looks like the vanilla aosp from a one plus device or maybe nexus. It has no cm features.
Secondly like stated in the op this is indeed for chinese storage. I can confirm lvm does not work.
Stock gallery does not show all the picture folders. However quickpic from playstore works fine.
Music players can't detect songs on my sd card. But I can play them from file explorer.
I didn't test bluetooth for now.
Other than these things, this is really smooth and stable for an initial test build. So kudos to the dev for bringing N so quickly for our devices! You can use this as a daily driver

Looks like the Russian one is working for me, hopefully it doesn't stop mid download! Thanks for your help
Just to confirm process from RR with LVM would be;
1) Use tools to perform chinese unify (Should wipe entire device)
2) Flash TWRP
3) Flash the new CM14 Rom, gapps and all that good stuff
4) Profit???
Ok well I'm flashing the rom now and everything has gone through without issue! the tool only took about 2:50 for me.
For anyone trying to get English in twrp, second from bottom on the right and then select the globe icon at the top
Please, can someone explain the difference between chinese storage partition and LVM? Not technically, of course. I want to know about partitions and their sizes.
Thanks again.

From what I can tell the LVM method is a linux storage method that allows data to be stored in a varying sized partition by allowing on the fly resizing. The chinese method of dealing with the sotorage partition looks pretty much the same, if you look at the free app storage space it will be only around 100mb or less, but as you install more apps more space is allocated so it appears there is the entire device storage available.
I would assume the only difference would be in the way the Rom sees and interacts with the device storage. But on the most part there doesn't seem to be any real world issues, everything seems to work great and I wouldn't know it wasn't running on the LVM partition.
