[Q] Repartition System and Data partitions - Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G

Dear I searched this topic both on XDA and Google without any answers hence posting here
I have a galaxy Exhibit 4g and if I try to install SlimKat and full-modular-Gapps I have literally no memory left on the system partition. I was wondering if we can re-partition the space so we can reallocate the internal SD towards Data and system (the internals SD is a pain anyways). I have done similar stuff for my nook color which my son uses for playing kids learning games. Please let me know if this would be possible and how to go about it. Here are my df stats. Thanks in advance.

its a lot simpler to just move most of the gapps (hangouts, playstore, play games, etc) to sdcard. even better if you swap int2ext sd if you have a decent size sdcard and just use the real int for pics, music, etc. If the ext sd is a class10 or above you will notice a major difference in overall performance.

Wrong place for a "question"
Please post this in q&a section.

I'm afraid I can't help you, but I don't understand how you did signup to XDA
Besides your English which we can't understand (and this is okay since not everyone can speak / write English ) you are also missing some basic forum ethics like:
Your title is just very bad, "question" is not sufficient I guess
Please don't use exclamation marks if not needed
Besides this all I suggest to get familiar with the search engine (Both from this forum as from google)

[Q] KFH7 32GB partition size - have I been ripped off?

Hello all,
I have bought a used KFH7 supposed to be the 32GB model.
I'm wondering, though, if it might not indeed be the 16GB model and if I have been ripped off.
The df command submitted in root shell gives me:
KFH7 alleged 32GB model
Code:
C:\KFFirstAide>adb shell

Can you comment, please, if my suspicion is justified? Do I miss something here?
Not sure it's important, but I have rooted the device, installed Hashcode's 2nd bootloader and TWRP and am running psych0phobia's Kinology.
Thank you very much for your help
Based on the information, yes, you've been ripped-off. Should've checked storage on the device before you purchased it, simply by going to Settings > Device.
Thanks, seokhun
this is the answer I was afraid to get.

Excellent piece of advice, but kinda hard to follow, when you buy a used device on eBay.
Can somebody post the df output of a confirmed 32GB model, please? I assume it's just the data partition that's larger, right?
I guess I had some vague hope that rooting or flashing Kinology might have tampered with the partition information.
Thanks again for any input.
Here's mine, in ADB Shell # df and Storage on the device itself.
You should probably get in touch with eBay's fraud dept.
Thanks, seokhun,
this confirms it. I was sold a 16GB unit rather than 32GB.
I'll get in touch with the seller - let's see what he says.
Thanks again for your quick repsonses

[Q] HTC One Internal Storage Recovery Help

So I was cleaning my SD card and found a folder that I didn't think was of any consequence but it turns out it seemed it was symlinked to my whole SD Card. Needless to say it's now empty. I have an sd card backup of about 2 weeks ago so everything can be recovered. However, this got me to thinking. Has anyone else ran into this problem? What have you done as far as research or troubleshooting steps?
I have found this so far. Seems that since the type of storage that we're using is super popular and someone else has paved the way.
[GUIDE] Internal Memory Data Recovery - Yes We Can!
This thread has been super helpful. Seriously good information here. The problem that I am having is I can't figure out which block I need to set up. I've set up what I have thought would be correct but it's just not outputting the data properly (1.08KB, should be much bigger)
Here's that I get when I adb shell/su/df:
Code:

I also followed this tutorial here the attached is what I get. Based on the partitions.txt I would think that the partition tables that I need to be backing up are either mmcblk0p4 or mmcblk0p37 but that's just not working. The output is tiny compared to what it should be. What do you guys think?
Shameful but hopeful bump
