[MOD][GUIDE]Partition your internal SD for better App management 16GB & 32GB Models!

[techMagnificent]

yes use kernel rather than rom, it's fine. Not so sure on virtual box, that'll be down to how well the USB ports get emulated, interested to know how it goes, report back

I did it with vm works fine

Used only the Philz Kernel and all went good except I coudnt do it with VirtualBox, as the windows coudnt detect my device. tried with sammy drivers, Kies :crying: and other methods, but device could not be detected, although other USB devices detected fine in VM.

Play your cards right, and I may bring an apple (not an Apple iPhone btw) for fav teacher... lol

Aye, got there in the end... It may just be the way I read it first, but I was confused by the wording of the op... But hey, life is nothing but a learning curve... We all get there, just takes different amounts of time!!! lol

Thanks (until the next time... lol), Lister

If I was a teacher and you are attending my class then I would give you an A for that answer, just A instead of A+ for failing to understand that the first time. LOL

HI, in PDA i have to put one normal Stock ROM or just one that need pit + repartition?

 

[smokeyrider]

Sorry for this question, can I use zimage instead of .tar. I'm having a lot of trouble finding a kernel in .tar they all seem to be .zip. Any assistance appreciated.

 

[smokeyrider]

Found a.tar. I used speedmod k5-5.tar. Everything worked well thanks.

 

[oopeteroo]

Worked like a charm.

Gotta say, this is the most awesome modification I have encountered for the N7000.
So simple yet so effective.
No more worrying about running out of space to install apps.

Thanks.:good:

 

[FabreFaction]

where can i get the stock rom ?

Try SamMobile.
Search for N7000.

[warpaper]

it works

I am using N7000 and installed CM10 previously.

I got only 2G /Data partition after installed CM and I found this post and follow the instruction, I using the the 12g file w/i n7000 (16gb)_4,6,8,10,12gb.zip flashed pit file ony by Odin, since its not working when i flash both pit plus stock ROM.

And i go complete wipe and reinstall CM11, /data partition have 12G now.

Update: I solved the missing internal sd card issue by just go into the CWM recovery and format the internal sd card partition. No need to reflash another kernal/recovery.

UPDATE 19th July

I have added my donation details to my profile, following a request from @A-S who wished to donate and request a build.

I will always build for people, but he really wanted to donate so I set up the link!

You may thank him for the new versions he requested if they suit you! 10gb & 12gb now available!



32gb Model now supported! First tested and verified 6gb Data version attached, ask if you wish for different partition sizes! !



Beware #1 - Preload moddified version are NOT suitable for Samsung Stock Roms!


Beware #2 - Pre-Load moddified versions are for custom roms that do not use pre-load area! Please post on the respective thread for your rom and ask the author the question prior to using these versions if you are unsure! (I can tell you that SlimRoms & Cyanfox do not use preload, at present at least)


Beware #3 - If you want to go back to stock rom, you just need to flash my standard edition pit files, easy!



***************************************************************************************************************



Increase your data application partition and set your device free!



Are you bored of having to move apps to SD?

Bored of facing a stock issue of not even being able to move apps to your internal SD?

This thread will help you, currently only for n7000 16gb Model only.[/COLOR]




GUIDE - The usual rules apply, You will:



IMPORTANT: Please backup all your photos, videos and other important stuff on your PC, in the cloud or somewhere else where it is safe, as all your stuff on your internal SD card will be deleted!



1) Run compatible version of Odin, put your phone in to download mode (vol down/home/power button) and connect to PC via USB





2) Tick re-partition box


3) Click PIT button and select the pit file of your desired app partition size.


4a) Click PDA and select your stock official samsung jellybean rom - Edit- please remember if you use a rom that is not native to your region, it would be wise to flash the appropriate radio modem afterwards to ensure you get the signal strength you'd expect


4b) OR Flash your persnonal choice of kernel in *.tar format and pit file, reboot to CWM ( power button/vol up/home button) and install new rom or restore nandroid and boot as normal and skip to number 9 in this guide


5) Flash and wait for reboot


6) Let the phone reboot and wait until the android chap finishes his spinny wire ball belly animation and then remove the battery and do a factory reset using the usual power/vol up/ home trick.


7) Let it boot so you can check that you are happy with the result. ( I didn't, but you might want to)


8) Now flash your chosen rooted kernel and either stick with stock rom or enter CWM and flash your own custom rom.


9) When your phone boots, you may get a notification to format usb storage, say yes if prompted! If it that fails, connect you phone to your PC and format the the internal sd card manually.


10) Remember that Android likes automatically deciding where apps go, so sometime it tries to put stuff to SD itself (app requests it), it is worthwhile checking your installed apps to makes sure they went to internal app partition, you can tell this by either:


a) Look in Titanium back up, go to the move/integrate section and see if any apps show as moveable from SD to internal, if so run the batch process to put them on your nice new app partition, otherwise you may have issues running those apps.


b) If you don't have Titanium (why not?) then check the harder way by looking at app manager and swipe to the right to look at SD app, sort by size and then individually move ones back to internal storage.


11) That easy! Here is a shot of my resulting app manager





Files attached to post including original pit in case you want it back to stock values!

Enjoy!

Special Lollipop Update as per user request!

This file is untested (I own a LG G3) so use at your own risk!

Requested details are:

System - 2gb
Data - 6gb
Preload - 512mb

Enjoy and please at least say thank you, I really had to think about this one, it has been a long time since I owned a device that used this structure!

NB: This is the last Pit file I produce, it has been way more hassle than rewarding to provide this service for people. The information is out there on XDA on how to do this, so do not worry, if you want it enough it can be done! :highfive:

We really appreciate your contribution . but i would have really loved a 2 gb system and 4 gb data . or a 2gb system and 3 gb data . At present i use the 4 gb data partition table and i don't even consume 75 % of that partition . perhaps people didn't download that table becausez they too are just like me .

The thread is very useful. Saved many people from messages that you don't have enough space to install. Very good work. Along with ROM and Kernel support this thread is must stay in its place its not less important than ROM and Kernel support. If its doable we can add 3gb pit file since many of us using 4gb pit and its too much for many of us.

im on omnirom's latest nightly. i have the 16gb model, and before upgrading to omnirom i had repartitioned my app storage to 8gb.

now, i'd like to repartition again. but i'm not too sure which pit file to use:

File Type: zip N7000 STOCK PIT.zip - [Click for QR Code] (498 Bytes, 5391 views)
File Type: zip Galaxy Note n7000 4, 6, & 8gb data - 45mb preload - NOT FOR STOCK or CUSTOM ROMS THAT USE PRELOA.zip - [Click for QR Code] (1.6 KB, 3444 views)
File Type: zip n7000 (16gb)_4,6,8,10,12gb.zip - [Click for QR Code] (2.5 KB, 6525 views)

any help would be appreciated!

Hi spiderman_pink,
I was also not sure about this. I was running CM11 with repartitioned storage (4GB for data in my case). I was curious to try Ominirom again now that the FP bug is fixed and TRIM kernels are available. I agree it is confusing, what with the preload PITs not being suitable for ROMS that use preload, and there apparently being no way of finding out if Omnirom uses a preload except by installing it. In the partition thread you get referred to the rom thread, and in the rom thread they refer you back to the partition thread....I detect at least one genius at work!

Anyway I backed up everything and tried it.

Here's the good news:
Assuming you used a PIT from the n7000 (16gb)_4,6,8,10,12gb.zip then you can simply boot to recovery, do a factory reset, and install the latest omnirom zip. It boots fine (takes a few minutes the first time, so be patient) and my modified partition storage is used without issue. I didn't reboot into recovery again yet as it will take a while for Google to restore my apps. If anything bad happens I'll update this reply and message you.

edit: have now booted to recovery and rebooted into omnirom. No surprises. Works fine.
