[Q] re-sizing MTK6589 partitions - General Questions and Answers

I own a Lenovo S920 phone [based on mtk6589],
It seems that by default the internal memory parted to "Internal Storage" and "Usb Storage" [when inserting a uSD card it adds "SD Storage".
This cause trouble - because the apps installed on "Internal Storage" partition - when you try to move them to external (SD) storage it moves them to USB Storage, it seems like the phone have 2 external storages (even in root explorer I see sdcard0 and sdcard1)
I had before a phone that was based on MTK6577 - and it had only one internal partition (that was including the system and the storage).
My friend told me that he saw this issue on other phones.
Did someone manage to re-part the internal memory or solve this issue?
The answer will be post on the Lenovo S920 thread:

Can't mount internal phone storage

Hi all,
I have a Zopo ZP980.
I have used MiniTool to partition my internal SD card.
After all the changes I made I have one partition (no unallocated space) formatted to fat32 and set to active.
I can see the folder on my computer when I connect the USB cable but the phone shows I have no SD card.
When I go to Settings -> Storage I can click the "Mount phone storage" button but it won't mount.
I'm kind of a noob so please be as detailed as possible.
Thanks.
Please help...

help for HTC/HDC One MTK6589

I've bought a cina version of HTC one with MTK6589 quad cores.
This weekend I've started to root it,and learned a bit for what "root permissions" can be usefull.
I've rooted the phone with superSu,to move some app's and data from internal storage to SD card.
now I can move apps from internal to sd card,but can't move "Data" from internal to SD card (see attachment).
I have a 32GB san disk card, with two primary partitions FAT32=20GB / ext2=10GB.
I've tried with apps like link2sd or foldermout but can't still move the data to sd card,and Internal Storage show only 352Mb free.
Can some user help me to solve this problem?
Thanks a Lot|

KitKat 4.4.2 Strange storage behavior - Apps taking space both sdcard and phonestorag

I have iFive 3GS tablet running Android KitKat 4.4.2 (FW version 2.0.3).
The device has a "16GB" of storage, and I have a 16 GB sdcard.
SDCARD is mounted at /storage/sdcard0 and is known in settings as SD CARD
Internal storage is mounted at /storage/sdcard1 and is known in settings as Phone Storage
The strange thing is that Settings->Storage shows the same size of Applications on both SD CARD and Phone Storage - check the screenshots.
Is it only a bug in the settings menu or do apps take space on both storages. Is there a way to disable this behavior?
I can provide more information if needed.
The device is rooted.

Storage mounting behaviour

Hello guys, have a question about android storage mounting policy.
My Acer Z500 (Stock rooted 4.4.2) always mount the external sdcard as sdcard0 when it is inserted, and change my internal storage from sdcard0 to sdcard1.
How can I prevent this from happening? I want my external sdcard to be storage1 as I have plenty of internal storage available.
