Based on @ninekaw9 's original script from here

I ported this for the N7105 and T889
Please read the post fully before trying this.
This file basically reduces the space assigned to cache and preload partitions and reassigns that extra space to your internal sdcard.
What is preload?
Used for storing Samsung's pre-loaded bloatwares like some wallpapers and "Wonders of Nature" video that you find on your phone after a factory reset or after buying a new phone.
Reducing the cache partition:
Cache basically stores the apps from Google play while they are downloading and the rest of it is used for storing OTA updates.
The OTA updates from Samsung and big in size and hence cache has 1GB of size to store those big updates.
So basically I reduced the cache size from 1GB to 100mb because Kitkat is the last update for Note2 afaik and the phone would be out of OTA service after Kitkat.
Won't reducing cache size break some other things?
No. It won't. As I have still kept 100mb in the cache that would be fine for playstore downloads.
Can I return to stock partition size after doing this?
Yes. Find the .pit file for your device and flash stock firmware through odin alongwith the pit file.
Or if you want a flashable zip for returning to stock partitions see post #2
What you need to have to Re-partiton
Philz recovery installed (latest version)for t889.
Note that TWRP WONT WORK as it doesn't have some binaries for partitioning.
Nandroid backup or a rom zip file in your external sdcard is a must.
Backup your internal sdcard as it will be formatted in the process.
Procedure :
1.Boot into philz recovery
2.Flash the file which is linked here.
Partition_N7105/T889_16GB_model_only
After flashing the recovery will automatically reboot.
3.Next you will see some mounting errors. Don't worry. Just go to mounts and storage and do this
Format /data
Format /system
Format /sdcard0
Format /preload
Please don't format /boot /modem or /sdcard1.
4. So after formatting it's all done. Now you can restore nandroid or flash a new rom.
5. If you are having issue restoring your nandroid backup then read this post and do exactly what he says

Note: You can still flash bootloaders and modems from odin after doing this re-partioning. No need to flash with pit file.
However if you want to flash a full rom from odin then pit file is required.
