I am extremely sorry about that. If i had knowledge I would sure let you know it.
I hope if we are the real Open Source Developer then someone will come up and will reply your query.
You can try link2sd from market.it uses the ext4 to efficiently reorganize how apps uses memory..e.g. It'll use ext4 to store some app libs and data hence allowing more apps to be installed..give it a shot..

vold.fstab is no longer used in 4.3. Instead, fstab.<device> is now unified. Check the contents of yours. Unfortunately, this means you'll have to unpack your boot.img, modify the ramdisk, repack and reflash.
Refer to http://source.android.com/devices/tech/storage/ although it doesn't provide nearly enough information in my opinion. I end up digging through sources for various devices.

Any Solution for increasing internal sd ram size ?
Are there any 3rd party programs which can do the task for me ? I dont want to unpack .img file and edit and then repack and reflash. Just too many variables that can go wrong ?

You can see if any of the kernel zips are using the "anykernel" method and modify the script to suit.
If you can't find one, you can download one of the zips from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181820 and figure out how to adapt the relevant ramdisk patching section (look in tmp/otgmod.sh) to suit. It basically dumps the current boot.img, breaks it apart, mods the ramdisk, makes a new boot.img, and then flashes it. Strip out all the irrelevant parts and change the partitions to suit.
Has anyone found a way to do this in 4.4 yet, specifically CM11? Switching with the build.prop isn't working for me.

I don't follow your phone, but nonetheless, build.prop mods shouldn't have worked in 4.3.
Further, starting in 4.4, the external sdcard is also run through fuse. See http://source.android.com/devices/tech/storage/config-example.html specifically the last section: Emulated primary, physical secondary (like Xoom)
From there, you can understand what needs to be switched. Again, this requires modifying the ramdisk.
I don't know if there's some sort of hack that'd allow you to change a global variable from a child. Perhaps, an init.d script would work at the parent level? If so, you may be able to switch around EXTERNAL_STORAGE and SECONDARY_STORAGE that way. The paths will remain unchanged, but proper android apps should respect the env vars.
Hi
on Kitkat, the mounting are set in the fstab files which are inside the boot.img file.
To edit them, you should unpack the img file, edit the files, then repack it in order to flash it.
The way to unpack them depends on the device manufacturer. For MTK devices, it is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587411&page=29
I did it successfully on my Cube tablet in 4.4.
For others, you should find the tools on the web...

You should try taking your data.yaffs2 image file from a cwm backup, extract it using unyaffs (just google it) and take the /app folder under the extracted directory.
Then, make a flashable zip that mounts /data and then extract it, and it should be working fine
Edit:
about touchpads, I think that the changes would pretty much be located into the framework.jar, so try taking it from an ics rom that has touchpads working

I think in nexus 9 , repartitioning is not required as apps are installed in internal storage and no limit is there.. :what:

Yes! This is exactly what I was looking for!
I commented about this somewhere I remember. Seems like I have way more space in my system than I need.

There is even more utility for purpose of dualbooting a more conventional linux distro.
I.e., add a menu-driven multi-boot bootloader to the start of the boot partition, allow to select either a conventional android boot, or a <pick your favorite linux flavor> boot, which of course, loads a different kernel, and a different base filesystem. It is conceivable to share the userdata partition, i.e. /data/media for regular linux userdata and sharing data between android and another distro, but it would be helpful to set a couple of GB aside for the system data.

This approach requires you to be S-OFF & modify your bootloader - this also requires a modified kernel.
I have been using another less invasive approach successfully since ~3 years (even posted about it somewhere on xda); I'm basically using the system partitions (userdata, cache, system) as separate LVM volumes.
You can even have encryption!
You just need a LVM binary (and cryptsetup if you need encryption - automatic decrypting if you have the key as OTG) and a slightly modified boot.img (along with the recovery if you want to avoid manual work):
Obviously, you need to modify the fstab to point to the /dev/mapper paths as well as the LVM initialising part as service at the top of your init.rc

This this a nexus
So S-OFF is not needed
And I don't think you need to modify the bootloader
P.S.
Can any one help me compile parted
So far no luck

1: you could use the fdisk builtin busybox binaries
2: you could use sgdisk instead fdisk/sgdisk. There are even some on xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605535
3: here are some busybox (along with a variant compiled against glibc instead of bionic), LVM, & cryptsetup binaries: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8rpJsF4EG0Yb2FWT3liOTRucnM
Any progress with this? That 2.5GB System partition is overkill. Would definitely transfer 1GB of that to my Data partition.

[ROM][PIE]OnePlus H2OS[H930/JOAN]

OnePlus H2OS
This ROM i made it for a long time,but it's first time share on the XDA hope you enjoy it.
IMPORTANT: VENDOR PARTITION NEEDED BEFORE FLASHING!
Make sure you have VENDOR PARTITION on your device before flashing the rom or else you will get boot loop or brick. You can check the forum for how to enable vendor partition or treble on your device.
HOW TO MAKE VENDOR?
Use this file for creating vendor Partition by flash in twrp.
Make backup first before flashing.
Flash zip, go to wipe and advance, select resize partition, then select vendor, choose where you want to create the vendor partition from( system recommend, and also the size should be 512 and above)
After creating the vendor partition, reboot recovery and format system, vendor and caches. Now you can flash rom.(copy from miui11 port same work on H2OS)
The vendor zip is here:https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArSQ9UltpYJiuQsXTObSAjJZbJtI?e=8MX9JA
How to Flash this rom?
1.unzip this rom
2.Flash IMG to the SYSTEM/VENDOR/BOOT
3.Reboot and enjoy
