[ MOD ] Custom MTD Partitions by Firerat (resize Cache, Data & System)

This thread is based on Firerat's work, just modded a little to be more specific for the EVO, so be sure to thank him for his work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717874
I modded the script so a default of 250MB for system & 125MB for cache(leaves ~570MB for data) is included, so the mtdpartmap.txt in the SD card is not required unless you want to change those. If a mtdpartmap.txt is detected in the SD card during flash, it will overwrite those defaults values with whatever is in the mtdpartmap.txt.
For those that want to change the default values, just mod the attached mtdpartmap.txt
S-OFF is required
This is not for the faint of heart and requires how to flash using fastboot if you want to revert back to stock partition sizes, so if your not comfortable with ANY of the install & uninstall steps below, DO NOT FLASH THIS!!!
Be sure to check how much space your current ROM uses in the system & cache partitions before flashing this, so that way you don't cause problems with this MOD
Most de-odex'd ROMs should be fine with a 250MB system partition but those that are using a Desire HD/Z based ROM might need 300MB or slightly more, so be sure to double check your current system/cache usage before flashing
Also, too small of a cache partition will cause errors with some games & downloading of OTA updates as it uses the cache partition as the download folder
Install
1. Copy FR_Boot_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO, FR_Recovery_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO, FORMAT_ALL zips(& custom mtdpartmap.txt if you want to change the default sizes) to your SD card
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Make a Nandroid backup if you didn't already
4. Format cache, data & system partitions using my FORMAT_ALL.zip for ease
6. Flash FR_Recovery_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO.zip(this patches the recovery to use the custom partition sizes)
7. Reboot into recovery again
8. Restore Nandroid backup or flash new ROM but don't reboot
9. Flash FR_Boot_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO.zip(this patches the kernel to load the custom partition sizes)
10. Reboot
NOTE
Everytime you flash a new ROM or kernel, you must flash the FR_Boot_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO.zip afterwards, so the kernel gets modded to load the custom partition sizes
Uninstall
1. Make a Nandroid backup if you didn't already
2. Boot into Bootloader and select Fastboot USB
3. Reflash custom recovery console using Fastboot
Code:
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Reboot into recovery
5. Format cache, data & system partitions using my FORMAT_ALL.zip for ease
6. Restore Nandroid backup or flash new ROM, if the restore contains a kernel that has modded partition sizes, then reflash the kernel
7. Reboot

Going in!!!

so besides the increase in available data space, is there any performance advantages?

No real advantages besides that you regain all the lost space from the cache & system partitions

Thats the thing more space= Faster performance cause its not lagging trying to scoop up memory for stuff

Calk,
Do we have to do this all the time before a new rom or is it gonna b in there all the time?

If your low on memory, then I can see some performance increases but I guess I'll have to do a before and after benchmark to see for sure.

If it contains a kernel, then yes you do need to flash the boot zip one to mod the new kernel again

wow. that is all.

So I assume that the boot zip needs to be flashed whenever changing kernels even when the Rom is not changed?

Amazing work Calkulin! I am going to test this on mIuI.

Thank you Calk. I was just looking into this thread over on the G1 forums. This is going to come in very handy.

What recovery is the custom recovery based on?
EDIT
NM: Reading comprehension problems. Now I see that it patches the recovery. My other question is do you guys think resizing and creating a swap partition would be beneficial? I already have a lot of free space on /data after moving dalvik-cache to /cache.

Thanks Calk.
Just flashed this, nand restored, and I have 100+ mb available.
Edit: I have about 100mb MORE available than before making this mod on the same ROM/kernel combination.

seems very ricky lol sorry but i have bricked 2 evos lol from not listening to what a guide says and trying my way lol
it would be really cool if someone made a tut and put it on utube or something there needs to be more vids on there of evo any way and no junkphone i mean iphone lol

E:unknown volume for path [ext-sd]

Hello, few days ago I tried to parition my ext sd card using mini tool for use in link2sd app and I couldn't make it. Then, I tried to full format the ext sd card in my computer in Windows explorer but even I formatted it, the data transfer becomes very slow. And sometime it even says that the device might be disconnected. Also, when I tried to install a custom rom from the ext sd card in recovery mode, even it is said to be done successfully, when doing a reboot, it always stuck in the boot logo. And in the end, when I when to wipe dalvik cache in recovery mode, it says that
E:unknown volume for path [ext-sd]. I've tried to flash stock recovery and then re-root it and use other sd card, but it still act the same. What is the problem?

I don't have this kind if issue until few days ago. By the way, I recently got some issue with my external sd card due to changes in partition. Will this caused the problem? [But as mentioned, it display the error message even with other sd card and with no sd card]. By the way, I now use TWRP and it doesn't generate any error message when doing dalvik cache wipe [so far... ]

Yes, since you have changed CWM (TWRP) it is ok now, At the same time IF you partition your SD card the partitions must be of the same format that the ROM you use can access, meaning not all ROMS can utilize/use different formats.

I am having this same type of problem, except my roms work.
I am running cwm 6.0.4.7 touch on my sgh-i474m
I have flashed many many roms still think slim 4.4.4 is my favorite until they get 5.0.2 on a stable build.
anyways
every single time i wipe data/factory reset, the data wipe will successfully complete, however it always, no matter which version of cwm i have tried i get:
-wiping data...
Fomatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
formatting /sd-ext...
E:unknown volume for path [ext-sd]
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Data Wipe Complete.
Everything works fine afterward and the rom successfully loads..
I'm just curious to know why this error occurs...
let me re-iterate i have tried various versions of CWM and i always get this error...
if anyone could help me with this it will put my O.C.D. mind at ease.
thanks
stay classy

Few days ago I flashed cm 12.1[UNOFFICIAL] without clearing data and cache as I was on cm 12[UNOFFICIAL] but then I decided to flash PAC MAN ROM [OFFICIAL] before flashing the PAC MAN ROM I cleared the data cache etc...while wiping CWM recovery gave me an error ...
which was "E:unknown volume for path [ext-sd]" I still tried to clear dalvick cache etc but still the same error then I flashed the rom and Gapps anyways and rebooted the data was cleared and everything seemed fine but when I tried to install and run apps like 'Adobe Acrobat Reader','Tubemate','Facebook',and some more 3rd party apps they all would FC some would FC on startup some while using them Today I flashed Ressurection Remix 5.5.5[OFFICIAL] by using the same process I used for flashing PAC MAN ROM but CWM gave same error and the apps still DO NOT WORK THESE APPS WORKED FINE IN CM12 and CM12.1
I dont know what is wrong or which step I messed up..
I would be very great full if someone helps me out as I really need those apps to work
Thanks!
And yeah I did no changes in the Kernel and all The only changes I did Are mentioned above

Thank you for this. It's awesome. I think I'm too lazy to make the auto script.
Edited: This mod can be used on stock ROM. Just delete something like NokiaVariantsManager.apk in /system/app. I tried with Simonoid and it works perfectly.

can anyone tell me where is Data Partition and where is Custom Partition? i'm a normal user, so i don't know about it.
i see only in wipe:
-dalvik/art cache
-data
-internal storage
-cache
-system
-sdcard

Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP), is an open-source software custom recovery image for Android-based devices.It provides a touchscreen-enabled interface which allows users to install third-party firmware and backup the current system, which are often unsupported by stock recovery images.It is, therefore, often installed when rooting Android devices.
What's new in 3.2.1-0:
* minui fixes (cryptomilk)
* Better android-8.0 compatibility in ROM trees (Dees_Troy)
* Fix missing library in android-8.0 (nkk71)
* Fix inconsistent SDCard naming (DevUt)
* Default to TWRP restore instead of adb backup restore to fix restore on fresh TWRP boot.

WOW.Maybe PM me with some screenshots! ? Glad to know

Questions
1. Do we still need to reflash the boot image after booting to twrp again to avoid encryption?
2. Where do we need to put the boot img and magisk/superSU files if we're going to wipe the data, won't that be deleted as well hence with the internal storage?
3. Lastly, will the sd card be read? Because in the other twrps I've tried both internal and extsd will not read or not mountable.
Hope you'll respond ASAP
Thank you

Did you flash no verity boot image patch after flashing twrp and before booting back to rom? You gotta flash that.

First off all I wanna know if TWRP is working or not? Secondly I don't own this device to work for it either I can but you have to provide logs(will be irritable).And I don't see many people for whom I can work.I mean these days,nobody like mediatek chipset devices...
Maybe you didn't set RW permission that's why USB can't mount ?

Okayyy thank you very much for the immediate responses guys highly appreciated:victory:

Hey guys any update from the official twrp of this device?

Need help with installing a custom ROM on p8 lite 2017

Hi.
This is not first time I've installed a custom ROM but on Samsung models everything for me was very straight forward.
SInce couple weeks I'm struggling when it comes to install custom ROM on my p8 lite.
I've managed to unlock the phone and boot to TWRP but I'm getting error and dont know where to go next.
Please give me some advice on this.

Use other TWRP or ROM.

I installed this rom and everything was fine. It seems it can't unmount some partitions, try to reboot the recovery or unmount them manually or try from adb this comman "adb remount"

HI, I have a problem with installation of Lineage OS 17.1. I start with rom stock android and emui 8.0 in huawei p8 lite 2017, after wipe system, data, cache devlink i flash the rom with twrp and resize system, restart in recovery twrp and flash the patch. The system lineage start but in the first installation the ui crash, and when i finish the installation the home was black. I can see only power off restart button. What can i do? I have to decrypt internal storage? Sorry for my english and thanks guys for help us.

I removed the encryption from /data partition before flashing, because I read that the encryption causes a bootloop on many rom. But if you could start android your problem is different from that. Try to install gapps or do a complete reflashing.
The step I used to install this rom was:
- the full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik), then format data.
- flashing the rom
- flashing the gapps (if you got error 70, resize system partition, and try again)
- flash the NFC fix
- wipe cache and wipe dalvik
- reboot
N.B Do all these steps in once without reboot

I think is encryption the problem because i can't format data

how can i decrypt files and get stock recovery? because if I understand correctly once the internal memory has been deleted I will not be able to re-download the stock rom with huawei eRecovery

i have format data but the problem with ui persist the app UI system it keeps interrupting

To remove the encryption I fetched the fstab file using adb (because I couldn't modified it directly due the absence of an editor) modified it from my pc and replaced on the phone. And it worked !
here the command used to fetch the fstab file:
Code:
adb pull /vendor/etc/fstab.hi6250
and then to replace:
Code:
adb push fstab.hi6250 /vendor/etc/

The step I used to install this rom was:
- the full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik), then format data( this remove the encryption)
- flashing the rom
- flashing the gapps (if you got error 70, resize system partition, and try again)
- flash the NFC fix
- wipe cache and wipe dalvik
- reboot
and the problem persist the ui crash in the first installation and when finish i have only black screen

which version are you trying to install ?

Lineage OS 17.1

from which developer ? I'm trying to install the haky86 one right now

DarkJoker360, i take twrp from haky86

try to install the haky86 one. I think the DarkJoker's one doen't support the use of sdcard as internal memory indeed I couldn't find the option and then I moved to android 10 to try if it runs good but the fingerprint doesn't work so I went back to android 9

and finally I have been successful!
when the decryption file doesn't work
here's how I did it:
in twrp (twrp-3.4.0.0-v1-hi6250-emui8) tap format data, write yes and swipe
go to advance wipe: cache, dalvik, data e system
reboot recovery
connect the phone to the pc
in the home of twrp go to advanced - adb sideload
rename the zip of ROM in filename.zip (i choose [ROM][PRA-LX1] Haky86's LineageOS 15.1 Oreo Huawei P8 Lite 2017)
moved the zip to the adb folder
Started cmd in adb folder with shift and right click open power shell window here
cmd : adb sideload filename.zip
when the istallation finish
reboot system
if everything works open twrp and
flash addonsu lineage os su(arm64) and you have magisk manager
reboot system
for google app the last gapps crash for me
i solved with this method:
go to opengapps, older releases, i chose the 20200705
install with twrp
reboot system
enjoy!

How can I do this ?
adb remount not working for me mate - my phone has original software. I need root to do that and to have root I need custom rom wich I cannot install because above reason.
I figured out that my partitions are decrypted and that probobably causes the problem.
How can I fix this ?
