Hi all,
I've been planning to install Remix OS on my USB stick, but had not take into action due to the complexity in rooting the system image. Now that Remix OS 3.0 has come out and has built-in root, I figured it might be time to try Remix once again. Once in the installer however, I'm greeted with the same problem as before - too little space for the shared data partition.
The USB stick in question is a 16GB one which I previously used for file transfer. I don't transfer much files but I'd still like to reserve at least 4GB in case of emergency. Unfortunately, Jide decided to also reserve a lot of space for system and data partitions, so the installer gives me this layout...
...which leaves much less space than I desire.
Since this Remix OS installation will be "just for fun", i.e. I won't install much stuff on it, what I want is to shrink data to 4GB and/or shrink system to 3GB or less, so that I get plenty of space for storage.
I tried my hands with both Minitool Partition Wizard and DiskGenius, but both throw errors when trying to resize the system partition; they are also unable to touch the data partition.
I also intend to recreate the layout from scratch: I copied every file (hidden and system files included) from the system partition to somewhere else, repartitioned the USB stick to this layout...
...and put the copied files back in the 2nd FAT32 partition. However doing it this way gives me a back screen when booting from the stick.
Now I'm out of ideas. Has anyone met a similar use case, and how was it resolved? Thanks in advance for helping!
