Yeah I can confirn that the mod is working fine, but not much use for it with stock! Maybe it's much more useful with an AOSP-based ROM...

Yeah with all the gapps included in the factory image there only few mb left for the file system.Khaon, I used this to free some storage and succesfully installed xposed, which i couldn't before probably due to low storage..
I appreciate the work you do for our device!
I could just install su no space left then ... Busybox and v4a argh!
Similar problem with Nexus 4...
Thank you for an elegant solution for our Nexus 10!
I'm experiencing a similar problem when installing the stock gapps package on my nexus 4. (Insuffiencient space in the system partition)
Any idea if its a similar problem? Or if coiukd be addressed in a similar way?

Sorry for the late reply.
I have built a static binary targeting generic arm v7. Therefore, I think, it should workon any device.

Can anyone using something else than manta confirms?this! ty.
Won't harm the device: either it succeds or fails

Would be great to see the /tmp/recovery.log after having flashed this!
I had target armv7 for resize2fs my script should work but you must enter the correct paths.
Eitherway wontblow your phone success or fail.
can you please give me /tmp/recovery.log? or just go to advanced.
thx

@Khaon, I just tested on my old Galaxy Nexus (maguro) on a KK ROM. After replacing the updater-binary within your ZIP file, the script ran thru. log attached. Of course I did not see any changes on /system size, but just wanted to test basic run for you. Will try on the next LP flash as well...
The path to the system partition is not correct, I have set up something more generic.
In your case just replace the path with the correct one:
Code:
/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/systemEDIT
Hm, have improved the script now checking for a system partition at
Code:
block0=/dev/block/platform/*/by-name/system;
Code:
block1=/dev/block/platform/*/*/by-name/system;

36Hello,
many users complain that since lollipop their system partition size doesn't reflect the actual system of the block device. Therefore, they can not install some extra in this partition( busybox, big gapps packages,etc.).
This is due to the system image size specified when building the rom:
One of the parameter of your system partition(which has been hardcoded in some config file, I.e. BoardConfig) is its size, but if the block device(i.e. the part of your internal storage that will be mounted for the system partition)'s size that is mounted is larger than the system partition's size than you will loose some space.
TWRP has included this feature into their recovery from 2.8.7.0 and onwards ! You don't need to get my flashable package if you got a newer version than this.
Fortunately resize2fs executable allows to modify an ext2,ext3,ext4 partition size:
linux man page said:
This package simply resizes your system size to match the size of your block device size.
It does not alter your partitions table just reclaim the unmounted space.
Instructions:
- Boot on a twrp 2.8.x.y TWRP recovery
- flash the package

Best way is either issue
df in a terminal console or install this app
