Can i Resize /system partition? - Motorola Droid 3

Is there a way to resize my /system? for some reason I only have about 400 mb and i need more, and since there is plenty of internal storage i was wondering if there is a way to allocate more space to it

The locked bootloader will refuse to boot if you change the partition table. (I've tried)

Move your apps to SD.

The answer to the question you seek is........ 42.
Get a bigger card, IMO.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It would help if you didn't put your question in a blender before posting it...
You are saying that you have a partitioned card, and have run out of space on your fat32 partition, but still have an excess of space on your ext partition?
If that is the case, there are a couple of options, you could backup your old data, repartition and replace your backup. You can back up your ext partition via adb.
It is also possible to access your ext partition via "/system/sd/" so you can gain access to it using a root aware file browser.
42 or FORTY-TWO or 40+2 or.....
The meaning of life the universe and everything = 42
I wonder how he will......
get a partition manager and shrink the ext if the above fails (which if it did fail, would be epic)

Insufficient space with Honeycomb?

I have insufficient storage space with honeycomb. I'm running it off of a 16Gb SD, so I find that hard to believe. Is there a partition I can expand to fill some missing space? I have like 20 apps, so I wouldn't think this should be a problem.

I believe the/data partition is 1 gb or smaller. I don't know if you can expand that partition.
put the card back in the computer to wrote the card with, and grab EASEUS partition manager and you can extend the data partition (partition 4 on the card) to fill the remainder of the space. You should wind up with ~13-14 GB free when done.

Resizing Partition ???

Guys my biggest problem in my nexus one is my low internal storage space , now i heard something about resizing partioton , does this gives you more internal storage from your ex because i have a 32 gb external and i cant download applications ? thought i already have blackrose
Blackrose and its resizing utility are primarily for enhancing your system partition, due to huge size of some ROMs. Even if you make data partition bigger than stock, you wouldn't have "enough" storage for your apks.
So, you need to partition your sd card and run kind of a2sd script. You can also install S2E from market, easier way to a2sd, after sd card partition. Find how to partition your sd here:

You will find a complete Tuto on DarktreMore's Facebook
In some Rom App2SD Script is already embedded and you just need to partition your SD using Recovery.

[Q] Low internal memory even with ext enabled

I all, I do have all my apps installed in ext partition (and I'm sure of it, since I'm able to wipe weverything but the ext, apply new roms and find my apps already there).
I expected almost free internal memory, but I get the low memory warning (20MB and under...). I suspect that moving apps to ext doesn't clean internal memory. Is this correct? If so, how can I free some space? Should I delete apks manually from data?
Try entering this in Terminal Emulator:
su
lib2ext 1
Then reboot
Ok, I got 126MB of free space by moving libs. Thanks for the hint.
Anyway, when I try to move apps from sd to internal I got an Insufficient space error. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling thos apps
How big is your ext partition? At least 512 MB is necessary. But the latest CM10 builds appear to require more than 768 MB, I'm using 1 GB in my ext partition.
I have 1GB ext partition on my card and had no problem with it.

repartition internal block device

Hey I know this should probably go under Q&A, but After I get the awnser I will post howto and directions. Mainly I wanted to repartition the pre-install, and maybe the data, and maybe cache, and maybe even the osh, and internal sdcard.
1. Would like to install a webtop mod on internal memeory not using external sdcard, to do this would need to repartition internal memory.
2. Would like to resize cache partition remove 300+ MB, change data partition remove 1GB, change internal memory remove 1GB, change pre-install, and osh remove any exsess memory, probably 300+ MB, wich would give me around 3 GB of memeory freed up internally. I would also like to remove any exsess on system, but that isnt nessicary. if I am able to do all of this, and remove excess memory on system the remaining memeory on system would become a swap partitoin
3.create 2 new partitoins internaly after the last partion on your device, normaly is the internal sdcard, would be a 3GB partition and a 100-200 MB partition, the 3GB would be for the webtop mod to sdcard, only now hosted internally. and the 100-200 would be for swap space, I might up the swap space to 512MB and the webtop down 2.5 depends on how this all works, and what I need it to do when I am done.
Please Post some replys, links , and info. I remember someone on here did change the pre-install partition, I also know that the safestrap 1-2.0 remaps the pre-install partiton for the safestrap to stay. please post all info and help me make my device usable on the front line.
