Hello Everyone....
I want to resize mt system partition via TWRP.
My "Storage & USB" option in device setting shows that 4 GB (approx.) is using by android os and twrp shows that only 1500 MB (approx.) is using by system.
I want to resize (decrease) my system partition to 2 GB so that i could utilize rest of the space in data partition..
A step by step procedure would be appreciated..

Hi, I have problem with installation android to my Kaiser (NAND). When I am installing it, It is normal formating system and data, but after attempt of install system it shows me message: tar error: extraction failed: no space left on device. I thought that it format memory, so it should be empty.. I dont get it. Anybody helps?
Thanks..

The Kernel splits the NAND into 2 partitions (excluding the actual partition for the kernel). The default sizes is 101MB for /system and 150+MB for /data.
Make sure the androidinstall archive's /system folder is under 97MB in size or else the install will fail, or you can change the /system partition size using atools to a larger size while sacrificing /data partition size.
I tried to install Scoot_CyanogenMod_6.1_Rls5.5 (cca 90MB size of file) and same problem... If I tried Scoot_CyanogenMod_7_alpha_RLS1_All_Language (about 112MB size of file) and I set size of system partition to 128MB in atools to my nbh file, same problem.. Iam sad.. I want to use android but I can't... :-(
Have you checked how many bad blocks you have whenever the kernel formats the NAND? It should be disabled during the "Formating..." stage.
If you have excessive bad blocks, try increasing the /system partition as far as you can, then setting /data to your SD card. It's possible your device has too many bad blocks to install android with default settings.
i have a htc kaiser and i have the same problem.
how many mb should i put for data and system with atools?
and..when i save the install-seq.sh where do i put it? in the root of sd?

i made a partition to my 8GB sd-card and now its 4 GB can i undo it and restore my data ???? plz help
Plug the sdcard to your system and use the "Gparted" or "Mini partition tool".. Make sure you backup the sdcard data first..

thanks but that's the problem i cant find my data. when i made the partition the size of sd-card became 4GB and the data was gone !!!! i installed mini tool partition but i didn't know how to delet partition
You may be able to shrink the partition using the partition wizard. I've been lucky, and also unlucky. If you try it, don't shrink the partition below the amount of data u already have on it. For example, if you have 150 megs of data, shrink the partition down to 200 megs. Still make a back up just in case. Good luck.

"right click" on the correct Device and then click on DELETE!... then you must create a new partition xD

Plug out your SDCard and connect it to your PC and now Format it (Not Quick Format) and then the partition will be gone and you have to make a new partition!!!
Hi guys Do I need a special version of int2ext in order to use it with Jelly Bean rom (in particular CM 10.1)? An ext4 partition will be fine for this use? Last but not least: to install this script is needed a special procedure (like mount /system and /data in recovery)? Thank you for your help and time Have a great life, peace!

1. Int2ext scripts work in JB
2. .ext4 is the best option
3. The procedure is always the same:
First of all create you sd-ext partition using MiniTool Partition
Code:
1. Backup your current data (optional)
2. Boot into CWM/Go back to CWM menu
3. Flashing the script:
>>> mount data
>>> mount system
>>> mount sd-ext
>>> format SD-EXT (YOUR EXTERNAL PARTITION, NOT YOUR SD!)
4. Flash the script!
5. Reboot system

Thank you so much for the fast and super-detailed answer. One thing I don't understand the reason why: the ext partition I crate in sd card with my pc is empty so why do I need to format it again with CWM?

You can create your sd-ext using your pc or CWM, I advise you to use your PC (MiniTools Partition). It's safe, easy and you can choose .ext4 format
Using CWM >> Format sd-ext command will wipe your sd-ext data, so don't worry about "re-format" your sd.ext, it won't change your sd-ext's system format
The best, the safest & the easiest way to create a partition on your SD card is always via your custom recovery. You can format it to the EXT4 file system using the EXT4 conversion tool by PSDNA. Mini partition tool killed my brand new 4GB class 4 SD card.
Also nothing special for Jelly Bean as @Viper The Ripper said. It is just the same drill & yeah, cronmod scripts support all android versions & the flashing procedure always remains the same. I recommend you to use INT2EXT+.

I created succesfully a 768mb EXT4 partition with Minitool Partition flawlessly. First I formatted the SD card with Windows. Than into Minitool Parition I deleted the whole FAT32 partition, created a new FAT32 partition set as active with 768mb unallocated. Last thing I did was allocate that 768mb as EXT4. All partition are created as primary, not logical. Also used diskinfo on android and got that 768mb working without problems. Hope my steps are good hints for you to avoid other dead SD cards
Hello guys
this is a special boot.img for @WhiteNeo Homebuild (1010) he did for us
with this you can boot from SDCard wich means you are able to get as much /Data (app storage) partition size as you want!
1. ge a sdcard with much space AND fast R/W speed (the better the SDCard the better your system will work)
--> here lets say you have a good 32GB card
now create 3 partitions on PC:
How to create the 3 partitions you need on external sdcard (with windows)
tutorial @Flashing_Expert (i changed it to our needs)
Before anything backup all your data from microsd on your PC!!
You will need some microsd reader into usb
on windows you'll need minitool partition wizard for partitioning
http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
*
- Now just open Minitool
- Minitool will show you all your harddrives and usb drives including microsd
so be really carefull with what harddrive you working on (you can check it by capacity)
- first you need to delete actual partition on microsd
click with right button on your microsd, select delete and then on Apply button (this step erase partition and all data!! no way back after this)
- let say you have 32Gb microsd and you want create 3Gb partition for System and 10GB for data
- click again with right button on microsd (should be now marked as unallocated)
- and select "Create" window will popup
- in "Create as" select Primary
- File system = ext4
- Cluster size you can leave on default or select manually 32Kb cluster size
- Unallocated space before = 0
- Partition size = 3072Mb (if you want 3gb system)
- Unallocated space after < this will be free space for next partitions
- Partition Align to = MB
- Click on OK and click on apply
- congrats your System partition should be now created
*
- now click with right mouse button on unallocated space on your microsd and again select "Create"
- do the same as above but now with as much MB as you want for data ( e.g. 10240MB = 10 GB )
- do the same with the rest to create your external_sdcard partition
- your work on PC is done Partitions created so you can put it into phone
NOW your SDCard is ready
we go further:
1. rename the bootnew.img you just downloaded to boot.img
2. push it per drag&drop to the cm12.1.zip from whiteneo so you override the old one
3.put your manipulated zip to internal storage of your phone
4. fastboot flash the boot.img
5. boot to recovery and change fs of /system and /data to F2FS
6. flash the rom + gapps
7. wipe cache and reboot
DONE

Great, but where is the file?
i m trying to flash nikgapps basic version but whenever i try it says "storage full" so i want to resize system partition but in wipe section i dont see any system partition.
you cant see system partition. Use Flamegapps.
did you find a solution to this problem?
you can't resize system partition at all. It's dynamic hence comes under Super partition
