Hi everyone,
I've flashed my samsung galaxy note n7000 to the slim bean 2.7 (great rom, many thanks to kravind and his crew), works a treat!
However, I'm wondering if I could to the following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...4#post31579304
I bascially would like to repartition the internal sd (11gb) to merge it into system memory, so I have 64gb external sd and 12gb internal memory. Have any tried this or can see any issues with doing this with slim bean 2.7 rom (conflicting kernal etc. etc)
Any comments is appreciated.
Link is not working, would like to try it myself.

Hi everybody, I am currently trying to solve a problem with not having enough space for my applications on the N7000.
I consider myself a power user that uses many applications, and I do not really understand why a phone with 16GB internal storage and the possibility of an micro sd card, which I have allocates so little space to applications.
I have searched a lot on the internet and on this forum, and the only thing I could find was how to swap the internal memory with the micro sd card, which is not really what I would like to do. I trust more in the internal memory, and I prefer to have all my media (pictures, videos and documents on my micro sd card).
So the question is, can I increase the size of the data partition from 1.97GB to lets say 3 or even 4GB?
If yes, how could I do that?
Currently I am using 1.71 GB / 1.97 GB and I still get not enough space for applications when I am trying to update something like Facebook or any plus 20MB application.
Could anyone explain why this is happening?
I don't know any way to extend the internal data partition but in order to get more storage for apps I can recommend you the app Link2SD which uses a second partition on your external sd card. You can get it for free from play store and it's not really complicated. All you need to do is create that second partition on your sd card. I'd give it a try if I were you.

You need at least noob knowledge of adb (ie copy-pasting commands).
The second command was
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
rather than
parted /dev/block/mmcblock0
I've just done it on my Note.

Hi Please can you help me with repartitioning my samsung gal gtn7000 internal storage for me ?
Thanks
Hi,
I have the Note GT-N7000 with Android stock 4.1.2 and i'm not rooted.
I have a problem with my 1,97 GB partition which is full.
Does this method require root ?
I ever use root + Link2SD on anothers devices. Which methode do you recommend for the note to free up space ? Link2SD or this method ?
Are there others solutions ?
Thanks
I would go for rooting, repartitioning and installing a new kernal that supports trim and a new up to date ROM. I chose this method for my wifes N7000 as being able to TRIM the emmc chips has really brought it back to life, almost no lag normally, just like when it was new. I installed the latest NightOwl (it's really just Cyanogenmod but with extra bug fixes etc). First you need to repartition as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642299 though I followed a procedure (as I had already installed CM11 I had to go back to stock first) called "How to re-partition Galaxy Note and install Android 5.1.1", there is a link to it on one of the XDA threads I mention in this post and it is on the net (sorry can't find link now). Then I flashed NightOwl http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note/development/rom-t2938649 . This Kernal & ROM are patched so risk of bricking is not any(much) higher than normal I think (though you do this at your own risk). Also being able to choose smaller GApps package further reduced bloat for me.
The only drawback is if you use the Samsung apps a lot you will not be able to install then on new ROM as you need the Samsung framework, but there are altenative apps for all of them, though I guess if you need to import actual data into new apps that may not always be possible.
Just make sure you backup all your personal files, like whatsapp photos etc that are stored on internal SD (sdcard0) as this will be wiped. Also your IMEI settings (with an IMEI app), address books, calender etc
No need to worry about ROOT as you can easily turn it on and off in developer options, I only turn it on when I need to run an app that requires it, then turn off again for added security.
Thanks for your answer, i will check the repartition method you linked.
Hi guys.. Well I have installed Androium costum ROM and my problem is that my overall internal storage is 11.6gb and NOT 16GB as it was while using my phone's costum.. can anyone tell me why?
Tips: I dont have sdcard I used a a friends to install the ROM
I use clockword mod recovery and I had created a backup which I deleted using root explorer..
Lastly I couldn explain why if you substract apps size and all of the others size from the overall storage the reault was much bigger from the one's that my phone was saing that it had avalaible(this thing was noticed while using Androim and having installed quite a few apps..)
Everyone again, happy developing!
I don't know is developping still active on this device even I think it is slowing down as it gets older.
Anyway my question or request is can anyone change the partitions layout on galaxy s (i9000) so the system can be installed on the 1.5 GB and data on the internal storage (5.xx GB) where we can install apps and store more data?
I don't understand why it is done for the i9001 long ago but not for the i9000? or it is done and I can't find after a long research!
visit here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579431 so you can understand more what I am talking about. thank you again
I purchased a 64GB SDcard for my Huawei P8 thinking I could use it as internal storage so Apps could be stored on it as the current 16GB of memory is not enough.
Only to find that using the stock ROM the only thing you can move to the SDCard are files (Pics etc.) not Apps.
Is this a hardware or software restriction?
If I install a custom ROM will I be able to use my SDCard as internal storage and store Apps on it?
Any recommendations as to the best roms to use?
