Hi i want to try this in android 4.2. If doesn't work can you help me?

Hi,
I have gone with the below option and everything was working fine.
1.5GB patch -- 2.5GB Phone Storage -- 273MB Internal Card

However now i tried to install a new custom Rom
I formatted System which is a requirement as per new rom installation and now the install zip from sdcard is showing internal sd which is now 273 mb and cant hold a Big ROM.

Now that i formatted my system i cant boot too..

Do you have a workaround for this or do i need to flash rom using SP tool ?

Please help.

If you dont have an external sd card, i think you need to to use SP tools to flash. Mostly every recovery has an option to install from both internal and external sd card.

simple way In case of no external sd card will be>> Flash your desired ROM first and then use this procedure to increase phone storage.

Custom ROM?

Can I use JellyXperia v6 ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2652865) with this method?

Required EBR of 1GB

@kaydee

Hi Bro can u make EBR for 1GB

cause i don't want 500MB as it is less and also not 1.5GB as it is very much more making my internal memory very much low so can you make an intermediate of 1GB EBR so that it would be lovely as space for APP also increases and my internal storage also doesnot goes very much low.

I am requesting you to please do so cause if anyones external SD slot may not work then at-least the internal memory will also not be less

Thanks waiting for your revert

If you are flashing it with CWM/TWRP, then you don't have to do this..

If you are flashing with SPF tool then you have to do this again..

Bro,
In this tutorial, you have mentioned step by step procedure for flashing through SPF tool. Can u please put in a tutorial for flashing through CWM recovery.

Thanks,
Gauss

Hi @kaydee

Thanks for your work on this bro :highfive:
I have been discussing reparations with @yuweng and wondered if using your method would also work to resize the recovery partition by making sec_ro or something else smaller and extending recovery into the free space on MTK65xx devices?
Also what does @Meteo .apk do does this update the MBR file?

Regards bigrammy

recovery partition can be extended, i'll try, apk does the same,

badboy4a2 said:
Bro, thanks for the files. But if you can post the tutorial on how to make those EBR files, it would be helpful.

its already posted..

Dear Dev,

I have a request,
Can you please re-partition it to extend +1 GB to data partition and +500 MB to system partition from Internal Storage.

I need some larger system partition so that I can flash heavy ROMs. (I'll integrate most used apps into system partition).

Thanks in advance...

ok, i will, i am getting mant reques for this..
