Hello guys.

Just wanting to know if it is possible to change the default partition sizes on the sensation?

I did this on my Desire.

I noticed that there is currently a lot of un-used space on the system and cache partition and it would be great to re-allocate this to the data partition to give more space.

Can this be done somehow?

The only reason there are that many custom partitions for Desire is that it is lacking app space.

With Sensation, you have no such problem, so it's kinda pointless repartitioning it.

Maybe in 2011, it is pointless.

Now in 2015 it is a must.

I give my old htc sensation to my father. In original 4.0.4 or 4.1.2 and in year 2011 1gb data is enough but in year 2015 apk files are so big now.

I install andoid 4.4.4 aosp so my system is 600mb free in 1gb now. without any program installed data is 1gb free in 1.1gb.

I repart mtk based phones as

before:
1gb system
1gb data
1.5gb storage

after
0.8gb system
2,6gb data
no storage as all storage is micro sd card installed.

1gb data is only for 20 apps installed and 1 week internet surf.
2.6gb data is for 80apk and 1 month of internet surf.





htc sensation has abour 3.2gb real nand
0.78gb system
1.1gb data
1.1gb, boot, recovery, kernel, lib, dev, cache, mnt, vendor drivers etc.

there must be a way to do it like:

0.5gb system
2gb data
0.6gb others.

There's one particular problem with that.
