Can you please describe what you mean by "resize" before flashing GApps?
I'm getting this error
Thanks in advance
[REPARTITION] Nexus 4 Repartition [MAKO] [8GB/16GB] [UA TWRP]
- Thread starter Clamor
- Start date
I'm getting this error
Thanks in advance
@alexandruvlad before flashing gapps you have to resize /system 2 times in row, first will face error, second will be successful. Resize is available in Wipe -> Advanced wipe -> check System -> change or repair filesystem -> resize filesystem
I don't think Mako will get treble support
Sent from my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 using XDA Labs
@AndyYan no, /vendor ≠ treble support, BUT /vendor = additional flexible storage + actual multipurpose use.
@Clamor i noticed something that while flashing the repartition zip the modified twrp shows an error mounting /vendor that is why it is unable to use the repartition with modified twrp, but the repartition worked fine with normal twrp, i digged xda and found that vendor partition is meant for treble supported roms, and may be i was trying to flash it on stock rom that is why it was showing wrror but earlier when i used it with custom rom it worked fine does that mean those custom roms are intended to have treble support. earlier the twrp did ahow the error mounting vendor but it didn't refused to flash the package.
@Clamor i also had a issue going back to stock partition when i flashed the repartition again and format everything the only error i got is mounting vendor and afterwards my phone sucks i flahsed stock rom and it gave me a bootloop finally i had to go through the LGNPST method to get it back to life, but after that also with custom twrp it shows error mounting vendor and not flashing the repartition , so can you please explain what basically we had to do get back the stock rom back after repartition

@bgoel4132 first about /vendor partition handle. It is possible to use standard TWRP with my repartition scheme in this case /vendor will be just hidden and there would be no opportunity to interact with it through TWRP interface. If UA TWRP is installed + repartition is made and you get error with mounting it, then just format it via Advanced wipe menu. On stock partition layout UA TWRP will give continuous error with unable to mount /vendor.
About stock. NO ONE MUST NOT FLASH PURE STOCK it is super bad idea. Never do that. Instead there are 3 solutions of stock flashing problem:
1. Backup your stock rom with TWRP (boot+system) and then restore it after repartition.
2. Unpack pure stock image and flash ONLY system image through fastboot mode.
3. Flash stock rom repacked for flash via TWRP (I'm Nexus 5 owner so I don't know if there are such roms for mako).
P.S. And remember don't do anything if you aren't certain in your actions. Check thread or ask, it is better than have more problems in future.

My system storage is now increased to 1,5 GB. BUT ,now, while trying to flash gapps I still get error message 70 because of insufficient storage space. Any idea what could be missed? Thanks in advance!
Any chance on some insight as to what my options might be for repartitioning a 16GB nexus 4 that I was trying to flash with pie. Trying to flash the mako_clamor zip and it's giving me "Failed to mount" errors which is pretty much what i'm getting when i try to do anything within TWRP.
I'm getting unable to mount vendor errors. I went into mount section from twrp but can't select the vendor option, it allows me to select every other option just not vendor. Also part about missing updater script.
Update:
I downloaded the official twrp and tried again this time no vendor errors but it says missing updater script.
Final Update:
I can just say to read instructions carefully. I did the mistake of trying to repartition on UA twrp instead of official twrp which was giving me vendor errors. As for the updater script error, I re downloaded the repartition zip and it flashed successfully (make sure to tick system in mount options). Then it gave me directions to type modify in twrp terminal. Upon which it started the repartition and rebooted to recovery and the I flashed UA twrp and followed the procedure mentioned, don't worry about the mounting errors when wiping and then advanced wipe everything. Then flash ROM and after that resize through wipe section ticking the system option. Which results in error the first time and then do it again. This time no error. Now you can successfully flash gapps.

I had a Nexus 4 in the drawer and managed to put NitrogenOS on it that runs like a charm! But Gapps would not install. So i tried this method to resize System but after I tried resizing, I now have a Vendor partition of 0 Mb that stops all further actions and no resized system partition. Any suggestions?
Last update: Problem solved! I restored to an other ROM and started the procedure again. This time it worked and I installed Pie and GAPPS succesfully!

I was trying to install the CarbonRom and its saying my system partition is too small.. Will this fix the issue?
Hi,
Got a noob question. I hope this thread is the correct one.
Is 1.5G enough space to install Carbon 9.0 ROM along with Opengapps Micro Package (210MB zip file size)?
My previous experience with installing custom ROMs is limited to just flashing using TWRP. First time I am even thinking about required partition size for different packages etc.
Any help and/or responses would be appreciated greatly.

Nitin,
Thanks for the reply man.
Yeah, I went ahead and used the script to repartition & installed latest Carbon ROM with Opengapps Arm Micro package. Seemed to work fine.
Thanks to OP for the script & also to Nitin for continuing to maintain newer ROMs for N4.
