Sorry, I deleted the file, yes it was i9100!
Plus i tested it out on my i9100, the preload area's appears to be untouchable, so I reckon its blocked from alteration sadly
That's a shame
But thanks a lot for giving it a go and testing it

nope go back a page and read again, updated!That's a shame
Right here is your file, it should work as it did for my i9100. You may have to go into recovery and use the mount usb option and let your pc format the emmc area.That's a shame

This means we have now reclaimed an extra almost 500mb ( 1/2 GB) of storage from the dead!
IMPORTANT, THIS PIT ONLY WORKS FOR CUSTOM ROMS! SAMSUNG ROMS NEED PRE-LOAD! IF YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO SAMSUNG ROM PLEASE FLASH STANDARD PIT FILE ATTACHED ON OP!

Ha.. this will let you install more apps..
So what happens when you install a TW rom which has more than 20MB of apps in preload. Many custom roms have symlinked apps. Manually edit the zip? Great for AOSP/CM though...

After flashing 4gb pit file(with custom tar.gz kernel), go to cwm–mount and storage–mount usb storage , windows says something like "format to use bla bla partition". format with default choices, fat32 file system and uncheck fast format. Ta daaa... u have a internalsd
Don't format mistakenly your external sd(plug out before that).GT-N7000 cihazımdan Tapatalk 2 ile gönderildi
Thanks a lot! I am backing everything up now and I will try and do it tomorrow in the morning.
EDIT: So I backed all my files up, smses, synced everything and created a nandroid. Then I flashed it in Odin but I also by accident flashed a samsung stock firmware... which of course wanted to probably use about 400MB of that preload partition but it didn't report any errors 0_o. Of course I got a bootloop afterwards (I tried a factory reset - that didn't work so the preload probaly is smaller).
Now I have got all my files back on the device and I will start restoring, I'll update this in about 1h.

Cool pleased it worked out! Just remember if you go back to stock or to a custom rom that does use preload, you'll need to flash my regular filesGood news: the preload partition is exactly 20MB and the data partition is 4GB (just under).
Thanks a lot for all your help
Have fun! :good:

Thank you so much maktama.
I think you are not following what it is said.
AryaMod indeed is using preload folder so you would face some problem. That pit is for non-tw roms or tw roms which got few symlinked apps so that total size mustn't exceed 20 MB. I recommend flashing this pit: n7000 16gb variant - 4gb data.zip if you are on tw rom.
Something i would be interested in
Cache partition = 100M from 200M = -100M
Hidden partition = 1M from 512M = -511M
System partition = 1024M from 852M = +172M
that should recover 439M
recovered space added exactly to the data partition
I would then make an LTC image matching the parition layout that would be odin flashable
and would move anything that is still in hidden to system

two question:
1.- is it possible to resize partition without data loss as on PC? It can be very useful
2.- is there any known issue using this partition "mod" and Asylum Omni Rom?
Thanks

Hi metalgearhathaway
If you have the time, can you also make a 6gb data pitversion ?
Guess, I am a real appjunkie
And again, I would be very grateful

160[MOD][GUIDE]Partition your internal SD for better App management 16GB & 32GB Models!
***************************************************************************************************************
UPDATE 19th July
I have added my donation details to my profile, following a request from @A-S who wished to donate and request a build.
I will always build for people, but he really wanted to donate so I set up the link!
You may thank him for the new versions he requested if they suit you! 10gb & 12gb now available!
32gb Model now supported! First tested and verified 6gb Data version attached, ask if you wish for different partition sizes! !
Beware #1 - Preload moddified version are NOT suitable for Samsung Stock Roms!
Beware #2 - Pre-Load moddified versions are for custom roms that do not use pre-load area! Please post on the respective thread for your rom and ask the author the question prior to using these versions if you are unsure! (I can tell you that SlimRoms & Cyanfox do not use preload, at present at least)
Beware #3 - If you want to go back to stock rom, you just need to flash my standard edition pit files, easy!
***************************************************************************************************************
Increase your data application partition and set your device free!
Are you bored of having to move apps to SD?
Bored of facing a stock issue of not even being able to move apps to your internal SD?
This thread will help you, currently only for n7000 16gb Model only.[/COLOR]
GUIDE - The usual rules apply, You will:
IMPORTANT: Please backup all your photos, videos and other important stuff on your PC, in the cloud or somewhere else where it is safe, as all your stuff on your internal SD card will be deleted!
1) Run compatible version of Odin, put your phone in to download mode (vol down/home/power button) and connect to PC via USB
2) Tick re-partition box
3) Click PIT button and select the pit file of your desired app partition size.
4a) Click PDA and select your stock official samsung jellybean rom - Edit- please remember if you use a rom that is not native to your region, it would be wise to flash the appropriate radio modem afterwards to ensure you get the signal strength you'd expect
4b) OR Flash your persnonal choice of kernel in *.tar format and pit file, reboot to CWM ( power button/vol up/home button) and install new rom or restore nandroid and boot as normal and skip to number 9 in this guide
5) Flash and wait for reboot
6) Let the phone reboot and wait until the android chap finishes his spinny wire ball belly animation and then remove the battery and do a factory reset using the usual power/vol up/ home trick.
7) Let it boot so you can check that you are happy with the result. ( I didn't, but you might want to)
8) Now flash your chosen rooted kernel and either stick with stock rom or enter CWM and flash your own custom rom.
9) When your phone boots, you may get a notification to format usb storage, say yes if prompted! If it that fails, connect you phone to your PC and format the the internal sd card manually.
10) Remember that Android likes automatically deciding where apps go, so sometime it tries to put stuff to SD itself (app requests it), it is worthwhile checking your installed apps to makes sure they went to internal app partition, you can tell this by either:
a) Look in Titanium back up, go to the move/integrate section and see if any apps show as moveable from SD to internal, if so run the batch process to put them on your nice new app partition, otherwise you may have issues running those apps.
b) If you don't have Titanium (why not?) then check the harder way by looking at app manager and swipe to the right to look at SD app, sort by size and then individually move ones back to internal storage.
11) That easy! Here is a shot of my resulting app manager
Files attached to post including original pit in case you want it back to stock values!
Enjoy!
*****************************************************************
Thanks to @RivakDebbie for testing this pit file on his own N7000 :good:14OP UPDATED! NEW PITS ONLINE!
New PIT's up! 4gb, 6gb and 8gb now supported. I have also created special versions freeing up 450mb from preload, this is added to the internal SD card partition.
Please note - The preload modified version not suitable for Samsung Stock roms, it will work with many custom roms, but you need to check with the author of your custom rom first, as some do use preload, not many, but you are best to check first! I can tell you that Slim Roms and Cyanfox do not use preload.....
Enjoy!10
Done, would thank you, but only 8 allowed, needs extending a little I reckon :good:9How to make your own custom PIT File
@TenzoNakami~ and all users wanting to continue this work for themselves and others
It is really easy, you simply have to be able to use a calculator and make sure you don't make an error putting the numbers in!
Download PitMagic from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916936
You are warned, if you do not feel comfortable doing this, please do not even try! It is only basic mathematics and everyone has access to a calculator, so no excuses and no contacting me if you make horrible mistakes! I am not being cruel here, if you get it wrong, then it means that you did something wrong, plain and simple, so be careful, triple check your sums! Even sleep on it and check the next day to be sure after a good nights sleep
How to make a custom PIT File
To work out your new values the following applies:
1) 1GB = 2,097,152 blocks (512mb is half that value etc.)
2) The Block Size and Block Count of the previous section equals the value you enter for the next sections Block Size Value
3) The Block Count is the amount of space you are allocating to that section
4) The partitions you may want to work with are:
a) FactoryFS - This is the system partition where your rom installs to
b) DATAFS - This is the application partition where all your user installed apps will install to
c) UMS - This is the partition that will be your internal SD card space, i.e. where you might place photos and music
d) HIDDEN - This is the partition that some roms will use as preload, some roms use lots, some a little and some not at all!
e) All other sections should remain untouched!
5) You MUST make sure that your values all add up to the total available space available, that value is the Block Size & Block Count added together from the Hidden partition entry towards the bottom of the pit file!
6) Take a look at the example below and you will now see that as you go down the partitions the block size and block count of a section equals the next sections block count value, everything adds up as you work down the list! By now you should be either understanding how this works, if you are not then my advice is go and do something fun instead and forget you read this
EXAMPLE:
This my n7000 pit file that has 2gb System (Factoryfs), 3gb data (DATAFS) and 512mb preload (HIDDEN) Ignore all that is shown in RED and only play with stuff coloured in GREEN!

Next,how to input your values
1) First run pitmagic:
2) Click the PIT File Analysis tab and open one of my pit files and export to file and this will export a text file to the root of your pitmagic directory, open the document and make amendments and your calculation in there and double check you make no mistakes, you can then refer to that to enter the details into the main pit file editor tab!
3) Now that you have done that, on the pit file editor tab click open and select my pit file you are using as a base profile and then click save as and save it with a name of your own, now you are ready to start entering your values.
4) Navigate to the PIT Entry List pull down box to select the PIT Entry list address field you are going to alter.
5) Then enter the value for Block Size (which is the running total of memory allocated so far) and the Block Count (which is the value you are applying to the section.
6) Click save after each amendment!
7) Once you are done, go back to the pit file analysis tab and open you pit and export and check that the values were save correctly!
8) If you are happy, now try using your newly created pit file!
You are warned, if you do not feel comfortable doing this, please do not even try! It is only basic mathematics and everyone has access to a calculator, so no excuses and no contacting me if you make horrible mistakes! I am not being cruel here, if you get it wrong, then it means that you did something wrong, plain and simple, so be careful, triple check your sums! Even sleep on it and check the next day to be sure after a good nights sleep9Special Lollipop Update as per user request!
This file is untested (I own a LG G3) so use at your own risk!
Requested details are:
System - 2gb
Data - 6gb
Preload - 512mb
Enjoy and please at least say thank you, I really had to think about this one, it has been a long time since I owned a device that used this structure!
NB: This is the last Pit file I produce, it has been way more hassle than rewarding to provide this service for people. The information is out there on XDA on how to do this, so do not worry, if you want it enough it can be done! :highfive:
