I wanted to know how the 16gb of internal storage is distributed and if it was possible to re-allocate it (i.e. delete webtop) to be used as storage to supplement the available 10gb.

2GB for apps
~250MB for system
700MB for webtop
~10GB for USB storage
And the rest is just random small partitions.

As far as i know you can't change how the storage is partitioned.

d3athsd00r, the 10g usb storage partition you mentioned, today i formatted it with minitool partition wizard (as fat32) because i was gonna create 1 smaller partition from it to install some apps to, and create a 2nd with the remaining space for storage - after i created the partition the phone doesnt recognize having an internal storage partition at all anymore- nor does minitool recognize it either.

anyone know what i may have done and how i can fix this? it seemed a fairly innocuous thing to do :eek:

Internal storage already is a partition, are you trying to make a partition inside a partition? How exactly do you expect this to work? No system will recognize that.
Next time please search and read and do your homework BEFORE you attempt to do whatever pops into your mind. This has been covered already.

ive sorted it, flashing to stock set things straight- thank you for the reply mate ;)

no, i'd deleted the partition, then was gonna create 2 separate ones with the space

to mention my reason for doing what i did (and because maybe i'll get some advice on the idea) - the 2g allocated space for system/apps, i'd nearly run out of space on it- so i thought to delete the usb storage partition, and make 2 partitions from it- 1 was gonna be to install some apps to, and i was gonna make it about 3gig, the remainder of the space i was gonna create a general storage partition.
you may ask, why didn't i just use the one large partition already created by the phone, as a combination installation directory/storage - well the reason was, just for cleanliness/organization i guess
