[Flashable zip] Magisk IMG Resizer

[veez21]

Magisk IMG Resizer​

By default, magisk.img is 64M in size, so the space in /magisk is approximately 64M too (thanks captain obvious ?). If you flash a Magisk Module whose size is bigger than the current free space in /magisk, the update-binary automatically resizes magisk.img for the module to fit in /magisk. This is flashable zip (atm...) does the same thing, kinda ?. It resizes magisk.img, which will also change the space available in /magisk so you can add more stuff into it.

This can be useful to some modules that occupies space if it's function is used (like @stangri's App Systemizer and my Terminal App Systemizer).

HOW TO USE:

1. You can add your custom size in /data/.imgsize or /cache/.imgsize in MB. You can create and edit the file or do this command in TWRP's Terminal or ADB Shell.
   

   echo '87' > /data/.imgsize

2. Flash Magisk IMG Resizer zip

* To the guys who've read the update-binary, shut up! (jk ?). I haven't touch anything that much and only made patches in the magisk module template's update-binary. I barely have time to do this thing this time of the year... so shut up! (just kidding.... ??)
** Resizing will not be the same as the size you gave. Example, if you enter 87 in /data/.imgsize, the update-binary will calculate the size to be more than what you gave, in this case it'll resize it to 128M so more other stuff can snuck into the extra free space.
** The first thing you need to do after flashing/resizing is to occupy some space in /magisk. But don't make it full! Just add what you want to add so that magic_mask.sh doesn't do anything to magisk.img's current size.

I have v12 and it works. Strange that it doesn't work for you. The first thing you have to do after flashing is to occupy the space, but don't make it full (I should add this to the OP ?).

No, i can't use v12 at all (depends on something in the kernel, I use). Stock kernel works! Resizing should work on v12, too (if I used it)

Doesn't magisk automatically resize the partition with the magisk template zips?

Doesn't magisk automatically resize the partition with the magisk template zips?

It does. But this probably has something to do with his systemizer module and not being able to systemize large apps because there's not enough space in /magisk.

Yes it does. But if you want to put stuff in /magisk (like large apps or something else) without flashing a module, this can be useful

To clarify a little bit, when installing a standard module zip the script gets the size of that zip and adds it to the magisk image size. This module basically tells magisk to not use the zip size but rather whatever size is in /data/.imgsize. So most zips work perfectly fine and you won't need to adjust the image size. There are a few small use cases where you need to adjust the image size after installing a zip. Like adding apps to be systemized that weren't included in the zip.

It seems that this script in increases the size of magisk.img by the value in /data/.imgsize

I stoopidly assumed it would change the size of magisk.img to be the actual value in megabytes!

Do you have a version of the script that will allow me to shrink the file to an absolute size?

Thanks

I haven't updated this, yet. Anyways, you can go to twrp, mount /data and then to the terminal and do this command

resize2fs /data/magisk.img 32M

You can change 32 to any size you want in mb, do not remove M

This zip no longer seems to work with magisk 13.1. It completes but when I reboot the Magisk image file is still the same size.

I consider this to be deprecated in v13.x. Since magisk binary already have the resizing option

wait it does?

wait it does?

yeah, try typing magisk in terminal emulator. It should give you enough info about it ?

How does this work if magisk is already loaded?
