[Q]Get more space without custom MTD or A2SD

[op8867555]

I found that Cm7 Hboot's System partition size is similar to Stock Hboot's Data partition size.
Is it possible to swap the System partition and the Data partition?
So that we can use a ASOP ROM with a stock hboot and get more free space.

CM7 Hboot 130MB System, 5MB Cache, 302MB Data.
CM7 r2 Hboot 145MB System, 5MB Cache, 287MB Data.
DATA++ Hboot 180MB System, 5MB Cache, 252MB Data.
Stock Hboot 250MB System, 40MB Cache, 147MB Data.

If you use aosp rom try oxygen hboot. It has 332MB's data partition

lol

'swapping' data with system is probably a lot harder than S-OFFing and flashing a custom (cm7 for example) hboot


so S-OFF and flash a custom hboot and then ROM

I have heard of such a method. It's called XA2SD I think... You make a script to mount /data as /system and /system as /data. But I don't know details...
