I am really interested if it is possible to resize partitions.
I think about resizing system and cache, but others are in my opinion are unnecessarily big.
I have looked for it , but the latest guide for a specific HTC (wildfire) guide is also 2 years old.
In some other forums it was told that it is basically possible on every android, only some values have to be changed in kernel.
Have anyone experience with that?
Is it even possible?

Anybody try that mod?

Thank you for the information!
I am definitely gonna try this, since it is not very possible to hardbrick the device with this.
I need to learn first about kernel cooking.
I am gonna post the result of the experience.

I mean the best ROM for ordinary use. and the ROM can support Arabic or Persian language support for messages
Stock
This Pico just have 512MB ROM and left about 100 for you, if you want more space just partition SD card as internal memory, but you won't be able to remove SD card or you will lose data.
and Rom... I totally forget which support your language, but I know there is a stock Arabic.
Sent from HTC One max
use Walkman Sense Build 5 it fits into NAND and Smooth to.but if u want to increase internal memory u have to install it on u r sdcard.
CM11

Thread Closed
As this is effectively another best ROM thread, I'm closing this one before it goes any further.
We don't allow these kinds of threads because they can easily can arguments between users of different ROMs and it can quickly get out of hand.
If you want to know which ROM is the most stable, the best way to find out is to test them out by yourself. That way you'll know exactly how stable the ROM is considering someone else's opinion on "stable" could be different to yours.
We're also not here to spoonfeed members the answers. Obviously we don't mind people asking questions but the answer to this question could/should easily be found out by you testing them

Hey guys,
I haven't found any info on the forums about this yet. Does anyone know how to/or have a modified vold.fstab for the stock TouchWiz rom?
I have a general idea on what to do, but I'd rather not attempt this one by myself!
Thanks in advance - zmag

I know what you are wanting to do but can't help you much with this. Would need to research it more myself. Might check out FolderMount in the meantime. It works good for moving selected apps to the ext sdcard while still keeping internal compatibility. Also is very easy to use IMO.
Hello. I am sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum I wasn't sure where else to put it. What would you say is the best custom ROM for the GT-i9195? I got the phone only a few days ago, a lot of bloatwere on there but I wasn't too fussed until today Samsung decided to automatically install SEVERAL more apps on my phone without even asking me which I can not uninstall and they take up about 1 to 2 GB of my internal storage which is annoying since there is only 5GB of usable internal storage. I rooted my phone with the official firmware yesterday. If possible I would like to keep the same UI, with the same notifications etc but just without all of those unwanted apps.
EDIT: Not sure if you need it but apparently I needed a specific root for my baseband which is i9195XXUCNK1

You should check the list of ROMs for your device here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini#romList.
And here is the [INDEX]Galaxy S4 Mini all variants ROM's | Kernel's | MOD's | Recovery I Tools thread.
That's also the best place to discuss about the best ROM ... or at least get different opinions about the available custom ROMs.
In the end, it'Äs your decision ... depending on your special needs. And only you can determine what's the best ROM for you.

This is sounding like self promotion, however, I think you should flash my debloated ROM. It is a lot more simple than manually debloating it yourself.

Virgin Mobile J700P
Hello! First, thank you all for everything you do here--this is an extremely helpful community of people.
I have a Galaxy J700P with Virgin Mobile. Running J700PVPU1APH4 software. I've rooted it and had no success with creating a second partition on the SD card to use Link2SD for apps. I've tried formatting on PC via Minitool Partition Wizard, on the phone using Aparted, and also tried with Apps2SD. Link2SD simply refuses to recognize the 2nd partition ("Mount script error"). It has been suggested to me to try Cyanogenmod or a custom Lollipop (to use adoptable storage).
In short, I'd like to flash a ROM that will allow me to use my SD card for app storage. Being able to continue using Google Play Store apps is also preferred. Are there any suggestions for software that is the most stable for this phone that will allow me to use SD card for app storage? Let me know if you need more info. Thank you for reading!

It;s not self promotion at all man cause i used yours first lol, its was very nicely done until i needed some of those apps for basic functionality. I needed the music and video player and i found that the signal was shotty with your rom compared to stock. There were some others that i cant remember right now. So, I then dirty flashed the stock rom over your rom and added custom recovery and superuser. I gained the tethering feature and the update prl and services which i need in my area sometimes to get better coverage. I know a lot of people dont mind this as they want the minimal. I know Im a noob with this stuff as i came from the lg 740 and this is a whole diff game. Thank you though for your efforts in making the rom i have yet to look on how to thank people cause im still new here. Sorry for the one long paragraph by the way

Hi!
I have a problem on a J7 2016. Google services eats the battery, being accountable for up to 60% of battery use on every cycle.. I know it is a pretty common problem on lots of phones, but not being able to root / install custom rom (not my phone), any advice on solving it? - besides stopping google account sync.
I have tried uninstalling updates, with no success.
Regards.
EDIT: I guess I should tell I am on stock MM, last update. Haven't tried to do a HR - full reinstall, hoping there will be a better option

About the play services thing, you can't do anything except flashing a custom ROM without gapps (if you wanna uninstall play services). About the problem you mentioned that you cannot root or install custom ROM, what exactly is the issue? Please exaggerate the problem. Good luck!

Would ROMS built for the J700 F/H/M be compatible with the J700T? There is not many ROMS built for the J700T, while there is a bunch for the J700 F/H/M.
The only difference I see in the phones are the different carriers so you would think that they would be compatible with each other.
Thanks

I don't think so. I had my old Galaxy J-5 fried due to flashing ROM not meant for my device. I would suggest not doing it if it is your primary device. But go ahead if you're a development nut and wanna try it anyways. If you try it and it works, update your post here so others can know.

I have many questions with this bootloader. I'm new to this things. Sorry. Btw I have the J700F J7(2015) model.
1. Is there any way to know if my phone is in locked bootloader or unlocked?
2. I'm planning to install the Pixel Experience rom and I've read that i must unlock the bootloader first. I know that I must be from stock rom. Then I will install the TWRP, then root, then proceed to flashing the rom. In this process, where will I unlock the bootloader? Do I need it to be unlocked before I install the TWRP?
3. I know that I can google it, but is there an easiest way to unlock the bootloader?
Sorry, I have many questions.
Hi. I have your exact same model ?
To unlock the bootloader, enable developer options - in settings, about device, software info. Tap build number 7 times.
Now go back to settings, developer options - enable OEM Unlock. Also enable USB Debugging.
Done.
Are on marshmallow? If yes, make sure SuperSu is version 2.78 or newer.
Tip - make sure to backup your fon first as soon as you install TWRP. BEFORE rooting.
Keep 2 copies of this backup.
To install the Pixel rom you must already be on stock marshmallow
