Hey fellow devs,
I have been trying to configure my partitions on my 4GB SDcard for around 7 hours now..... it's currently 4:43am CST and I've lost it.
I researched and researched to find out the best way to create the FAT32/EXT2 partitions for my SDcard and i believed i had it and now I'm left with only 2.2GB/4GB available to me from my FAT32 SDcard! I can't create an EXT2 partition anymore or another FAT32 because there is no space allocated. I've been using Partition Manager 9.0 for the process but I'm kinda really freaked out now. Someone please tell me that i haven't friend my SDcard.
What I have been working on is trying to get my apps & caches saved to my SDcard so i have save my internal memory and stay away from Lag spikes. I currently have JFv1.42_RC_33 Modded created by LucidREM. It is supposed to auto save all apps/caches to the SDcard but of course you have to first have the FAT32/EXT2 combo. Well i thought i had it so i went and flashed my G1 with that Modified build.
1. Formatted SDcard after having FAT32/EXT2 partitions created because i was trying to follow the new auto updated from another post by using Android SDK(ADB) and running appsToSD.bat which failed.
Note: I'm not sure but i think that is where i went wrong by formatting the SDcard after the partitions and not before.
2. Went for LucidREM's method right after.....
3. Powered down > Booted from Camera+Power > Updated from update.zip(JFv1.42_RC_33 Modded > Home+Back for reboot.
4. Got back to home screen and all my old stuff is still there. Apps and all because they were saved to the phone's internal memory(Phew)
5. Went to Terminal and did
a. $su
b. #copy.sh app
c. #copy.sh data (OPTIONAL)
Failed.
So lastly i decided to check my partitions in Partition Manager 9.0 and found that my EXT2 partition is completely gone and the 1.5GB memory went with it!!
So now I'm stuck with 2.5GB FAT32 SDcard. Can't rollback or create EXT2 since all primary slots are taken up.
I know this is a long post but I'm like at the end of my rope. I know my G1 is pretty safe but I have no clue about my SDcard.
Please Advise.............
P.S I'm gonna go to sleep now.....Lol..... 7 hrs is too long to be focused.....
Thanks Devs

beanz,
sleep deprivation is never a good thing when playing with partitions. first of all. Secondly, i feel your frustrations... i have been there recently. So here is where i offer help.
You are in a good spot because your g1 still has all the apps / data untouched
As far as the sd card goes. i would back up any information you have on it that you dont want to loose. here are a few tricks you can try.
- i dont know if your running Paragon Partition Manager from windows or not but i would make a bootable cd and run it from outside windows. it worked exponentially better for me that way.
-i would also suggest making your ext2 partition no bigger than 500mb. even if you download 100 apps you wont fill that up. and it seems to have less issues the smaller it is.
-also if your card is not a class 6 lucidRem doesnt advise moving the data.
hope this helps
Perdid0,
Thanks for your prompt response to my post. I have just a few Q&A to your response.
1. I am running Partition Manager 9.0 on Windows XP SP3
2. My 4GB SD card only has 2.2GB on 1 partition (FAT32)
3. I'm not able to add another partition such as an EXT2 because there is no primary spot available or allocated space. That is what Partition Manager 9.0 told me.
So.......
1. How do I check if my SD card is Class 6? App or prog?
2. Since I can't create a partition on it now is it trashed?
3. I'm thinkin just to wait and get a 16GB Class 6 or 8 if I find one.
4. But until then if I am able to undo the damage to my current one that would be great.
Thanks for ur help with my Questions.

HOW TO PARTION WITH PARAGON PARTITION MANAGER
**** YOU WILL LOSE ANY INFO ON THE SDCARD - PLEASE BACK UP IMPORTANT INFO PRIOR TO STARTING THIS PROCESS ***
**** these are instructions for Windows XP ***
***** if you are using Windows Vista - You need to change the permissions to Administrative in order for this to work - RIGHT CLICK ON THE START BUTTON AND GO TO ADMIN SETTINGS - even if you are the only user of the PC
have the sdcard in the card reader or in the phone mounted to the pc !!!!
OPEN PARTITION MANAGER...
CLICK ON PARTITION MANAGER IN THE LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER..
then click on the line that represents the sdcard, and right click on it, and choose format partition.. name the volume label - fat32
then click format..
computer might hang for a minute or 2, and then a popup will come up and say click GREEN CHECK to apply changes..
click the GREEN CHECK IN THE TOOLBAR AREA..
you will then see another pop up show - apply changes, choose yes, then you will see OVERALL PROGRESS AND GEARS TURNING.. LET IT PROCESS AND TAKE ITS TIME.. DONT HIT CANCEL..
when its done the cancel button at the bottom will change to Close.. click it..
AND THE FIRST STAGE IS DONE...
NOW ITS TIME TO CREATE THE EXT2 PARTITION..
Now on the Left side of the screen click Create partition.. and a screen will now show Create New Partition Wizard... it lets you chose which drive to partition ( make sure you chose the sdcard - it will be the one with the smallest volume/size of the sdcard in gbs.. should be on the bottom )...
HIT NEXT
now a slider will appear where it says new volume....
move the slider with the mouse, and make it how big you want it.. for ext2 partiiton about 500mb to 1gb is plenty... 500mb is good size.. ( size wont be exact so get it close to the size you want..
WHEN DONE CLICK NEXT...
NOW IT GIVES YOU THE OPTION TO FORMAT THE PARTITION...
CLICK THE PARTITION TYPE DROPDOWN MENU AND CHOSE LINUX EXT2... AND GIVE IT A VOLUME LABEL OF ext2.
then click next...
PC WILL PROCESS AND HOURGLASS WILL SHOW WHERE THE MOUSE POINTER IS.. AND THEN A POP UP WILL SHOW - SAYING -
COMPLETING THE CREATE NEW PARTTITION WIZARD..
CLICK FINISH...
THEN IT TAKES YOU BACK TO THE SCREEN SHOWING THE DRIVES, AND WHAT YOU CREATED, AND THE OPTION AT THE TOP WILL SAY - APPLY ... choose apply
THEN IT WILL ASK YOU TO - APPLY PENDING CHANGES AGAIN, choose yes..
NOW YOU WILL SEE THE GEARS WORKING AGAIN.. LET IT RUN TILL IT SAYS complete..
*it will take a few minutes to process.. let it run...
you might get a pop up for the sdcard drive as a open folder on the pc just showing that its done, just go back to paragon and let it finish running...
once complete you will get a pop up saying SYSTEM RESTART IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE OPERATION.. CHOSE RESTART THE COMPUTER...
You will see a paragon manager screen, that will hang for a almost a minute, and then the bar will fill saying 100 percent complete, press any key to reboot the pc..
AS LONG AS THERE IS NO ERRORS, YOUR DONE..
FORMAT COMPLETE..
PARAGON WILL START UP ON ITS OWN, AND SHOW THE PARTITIONS AS BEING COMPLETE..

************************************************************EDIT *****************
If your having issues using paragon partition manager, and trying to make a linux swap partition, try these instructions for formating thru Cyanogens newest recovery
Formatting you SDcard
You only need to do this once folks..if you already have 3 partitions including linux-swap move to step 2
You need Recovery image 1.31 to do this folks!
To format card SD card with linux-swap WARNING!!! this will reformat you entire SD card!!
You can use the recovery console and parted to format SDcards with 1.31 folks, no more going through hassles you have the tools on you G1!...here is an example of how to do this in recovery console using parted
Example for 8GB card (specific value's may be slightly different use print to verify your total SDcard size~!
Reboot and enter recovery
Enter console
#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
#print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)
rm 1
rm 2
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7584
mkpartfs primary ext2 7584 8127
mkpartfs primary linux-swap 8127 8159
#print (to verify we have the 3 partitions)
Example for my 4GB card
#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
#print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward * then grab a calculator to figure the exact amounts... as shown below that is an example..)
rm 1
rm 2
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 3420
mkpartfs primary ext2 3420 3932
mkpartfs primary linux-swap 3932-3964
"End?" you need to place the last value for the linux swap eg.3964 for my 4GB card
#print (to verify we have the 3 partitions)
Next we need to "quit" parted and upgrade our ext2 partition to ext3
#upgrade_fs
Swap value is set to 30 currently, you can change this by modifying the "echo" value for swappiness in the a2sd.sh script
swap partition shouldnt be no larger than 92mb
ext2/3 partition shouldnt be more than 500mb ( more than that is too much )

during the paragon process it says do not interrupt it while it is formating, cause you pc can become unstable. and thats exactly what you did.. u might be able to press the esc button, i believe it gives that option at the bottom of the screen to exit it properly. but rebooting was wrong...
anytime u FORMAT any drive or card you will lose information, thats pc fundamentals... will add the issue about losing info to orig post..
was stuck
thanks a lot....fixed
Help
I know I am always running into problems. But i am freakin out about this and i don't know if this is the right thread to be posting this or maybe someone can lead me to other thread with this fix.
Question
First i partitioned my mini sd card using my G1 with paragon manager and when everything was done the computer restarts.
But the weired thing is that now when i mount my G1. My G1 is recognized by my computer but it does not show me the storage device on my computer folder or even prompt me with opening a folder for my storoge card. I am freakin out.
Things i tried.
1. Rebooted my phone
2. nandrroid backup restore
3. restarted my computer
4. changed minisd cards.
5. uninstalling the usb android driver and reapplying it
6. went to usb debug on the settings on the phone
nothing worked.
Thanks . Any help would do.
------------------------
Fix ******Update
It took me alot of time to figure this out. if anyone gets this problem just assign your sdcard a Letter. Example: E: Drive.
When i look at these tutorials it does not mention anything like that.
thanks anyways

1. did you do the fat32 first, then ext2 second ?
2. did you mount the sdcard to the pc ?
3. may show as F drive on your pc !!!
I used PM 10, it is very easy. However when the program wants to reboot it says there is an error, but I check that the ext2 partition is good by typing busybox df -h in terminal.
I've partitioned several cards now and they all work.
I found that doing a wipe then installing Lucid's rom.
I reinstall my applications from mybackup pro and downloading others from the market.
I test everything is working fine, then and only then I use the scripts that Lucid posted.
To recap ensure that busybox recognises the ext2 partition then wipe, install Lucids rom

thank you for the info..
was looking for the commands to verify that the ext2 partition is done correctly, and of course it verifies that busybox is working also..
I'm having a large issue with my new Micro SD card.
When using PM and my MicroSD in an SD adapter it allows me to format and create partitions successfully JUST FINE with my Sandisk 2gb which is probably a class 2 or just not a class at all...it doesn't say on the card at all.
BUT I just bought a Transcend 8gb Class 6 HC card and when using the SD adapter the computer recognizes it just fine to open and view files...BUT Paragon says its "Invalid" and won't allow me to format, partition, or anything.
I have no idea what needs to be done differently. It works just fine in the phone and moving files but Paragon won't recognize it or allow it to be modified.
I need some help please!!!
First of I'm new to all this so I'm a nood and I need some help massively I have trying to make this ext2 partition on ubumtu for months and always get an error message and a lost and found folder in the ext2 partition. Found these directions and finally make the partition w/ no error messages. Fat32 1st then ext2 2nd type busybox command so I think its done right. So I try to mkdir /system/sd/app for marcus directions on apps to sd to use his apps to sd2 app and I get error /system/sd/app read only. Why is that so? I look in pargan partitioner were I made the parition and there both still there. I would be greatfull if anyone can help out a nood like me [email protected]. I have been trying to get this ext2 partiton for months and today thought I did it correct cause no error messages and boy was I wrong!! Please anyone help !!

im have the same problems as her, i dunno why
I am running vista 64 and paragon profesional. I can get it to format and can get the ext2, but I can not do anything with the card. I try and reformat the fat32 and give it a letter for a drive but it wont take or if i format it and then create the ext2 it gives the ext the drive letter(both cannot have a drive) What gives and in the meantime I have to use the 1gig because although paragon recognizes the sd card my pc does not!
so i've done everything in the tutorial. and even the coding for checking busybox.
it doesnt show the ext2.
and i tried running the lucid commands
and it says ext2 is not mounted.
i get all the way to the ext2 part the very last thing
like mount/dismount and i get a error
saying to close a program or restart pc
cant close program because i dont know what it is so i click retry same error
i restarted pc 2 times
still same thign tried reformatting all over again what am i doing wrong? thanks guys!

Hey guys, I've found a way to recover files from the INTERNAL Memory of the Samsung Galaxy S4.
A lot of people have said that it's not possible, but I'm here to prove them wrong.
You have to have rooted your phone before carrying out these steps. Don't post here asking for help rooting, there's plenty of other threads that can help you with that.
I hold zero liability in the event that you make a nice brick out of your phone. If you do not feel comfortable working with these commands, then please don't follow them.
You're going to need an SD Card that's at least the size of the internal memory on the phone. A smaller one would work, but keep in mind not all the files are going to be recovered.
If the SD Card is brand spanking new, you can skip step number 1.
Format the SDCard with a layer of 0's. This is done so that none of the old data will interfere with your recovery. This step is optional.
Root the Device
Install Terminal Emulator
Insert the SDCard
In Terminal Emulator run the command to gain super user privileges
Code:
su
Grant Terminal Emulator super user privileges
Run this command,
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p29 of=/storage/extSdCard/raw.dd
Wait. Leave your phone plugged into an AC Adapter, and go grab a can of pop. This command will take a looong time. Couple hours to a day.
Once the command is finished running, shutdown your phone.
Remove the SDCard, and connect it to a computer
Download TestDisk
Open PhotoRec
Select the SDCard and press enter
Use the first option of "Unknown"
Then press "Other"
Select the Directory to backup the files to
Profit
'
How it works:
By dd'ing the internal memory to a file on the SDCard, you're doing a raw copy of the data.
Once the data is copied onto the SDCard, PhotoRec will scan the SDCard for deleted data, doing so will scan the raw file for photos. Not just photos, all files can be recovered using this method.
This method works on all rootable phones, provided you can figure out where the dev block for the internal memory is.
Hope you guys get your files recovered. I know I did

A lot of those apps are for the external SD Card, only support the FAT filesystem, and not as robust as PhotoRec from TestDisk.
Newer devices(Such as the S4) have an ext3 filesystem I believe, and a few paid apps claim to offer support for it.
... Not to mention TestDisk is Open Source :angel:

Although some might well be limited to FAT filesystem, some are not, its up to the user to check before downloading and installing. After that rather simple search and install, I managed to recover every img file on my phone, current and deleted, and back it all up to external memory, all with a free app, which offers img file recovery for free and any other file type of your choice for a small, one off, cost, if you needed it. I recovered almost 1gb of img files in under 10 minutes.
Am I correct in assuming your method copies the entire contents of the internal memory, or a portion of it, to an SD card before starting the search for deleted files? I'm just an amateur with little knowledge trying to figure out how your method works. Sorry don't mean to bash your method of doing it either, just commenting on this as your post suggest no one has ever been able to do this before and your method is the one and only way it can be done.
But if the device is factory reset, will you be able to get files? If i sell my device i don't want anyone sneaking on my photos.

So i've followed your guidelines to a 'T' with a brand new 64g (huge, i know) Sd card, but the command line responds with, "writer error: file to large". Any advice as to how to proceed?
Really appreciate your efforts on this issue, btw!
When I bought this phone (LG Optimus L90 D410 Dual) 2 years ago, when I checked the storage, system was using only 3GB, which left me with 5GB (it has a total of 8GB). But now, when I check how much system storage is using, it is using 5GB, leaving me with only 3GB of storage. How can I make my system data as small as it was back when I bought it?

clear junk data using clean master app or use sd maid pro for better cleaning..... and if you want your storage like before as was your phone new.. you shall carry less apps as less you can... and move apps to sd card for more system storage.....
The thing is, I already use Clean Master (frequently), the apps I install they all use the 3GB of storage I have and I can't move apps to sd card cuz' I'm on 6.0.1 (Cyanogenmod 13)
EDIT: System data was using 5GB before I installed CM 13

Try debloating your current android installation by removing system apps that you would not use. This can be accomplished using applications such as <Mod snip of warez reference > or system app remover in Google Play.
All the bloatware I have with CM 13 is some apps that only use KB of storage and Gapps (Nano), which they all sums up 293.6MB

The problem is that the disk is partitioned in such a way that leaves little space for apps.
What you should do:
1. Shrink /system partition where it has enough memory to do all it's stuff, but doesn't take up too much space. You said 3GB worked fine in the past and it probably will now.
2. Allocate the unused space to the /data partition
Warning: If repartitioning goes wrong it will most likely result in a hard brick. Know what you're doing.
Warning 2: Many people say you should never repatition your phone. You will no longer be able to instal updates and the space you take away from the system may be critical storage used for device recovery or some kind of backup or emergency mode. Try app2sd or (if you're hardcore into moving stuff) link2sd.
1st: I thought of resizing the system partition, so I googled it and couldn't find anything, so how do I resize a partition on my phone?
2nd: If I make a backup of my entire phone through TWRP in case anything goes wrong, if I hard brick my device could I just restore the backup?
3rd: I already tried App2SD and Link2SD, but when i partitioned my SD Card, it gave an error. (Gonna move the things inside the SD Card to my PC and try to partition it, so I can specify the error)
if you have upgraded Android it could be that the newer versions are larger than the old one due to more features?
It grew up to 5GB while I was still on stock 5.0.2

So it looks like your system is taking up less than a GB. Have you used Root Browser to check what is in that MNT folder? The reason I asked is because I checked my Nexus 6 and my LG G Pad 7.0 and I don't see the MNT folder anywhere. I am running Android 5.0.1 on both devices. Below are screenshots of both of my devices
There are 2 links to my home directory (on "asec, expand, media_rw, obb, sdcard, secure and user" folders), and a runtime folder, which has 3 folders(default, read and write), with the 3 of them being a link to the /storage folder

Does your phone support external SD card or is it all internal?
It supports external SD, but I "can't" move anything to it cuz I'm on 6.0.1, so I would have to transform it into Internal Storage and I could transform it into Mixed Storage, but the problem is that whenever my SD Card is Internal or Mixed Storage, it randomly pops out, forcing me to turn off my phone, re-insert my SD card and boot it again.

It supports external SD, but I "can't" move anything to it cuz I'm on 6.0.1, so I would have to transform it into Internal Storage and I could transform it into Mixed Storage, but the problem is that whenever my SD Card is Internal or Mixed Storage, it randomly pops out, forcing me to turn off my phone, re-insert my SD card and boot it again.

Have you tried using Apps2SD? Not sure if it works on 6.0 but it works on 5.0 and below.
I cannot get it to work cuz' when I partition my sd card and try to mount script, it showed up the error "file not found". When I checked the directory it specified, I realized that I didn't have the 179:66 file, the one I have is public:179_66. The temporary solution (cuz' the file got deleted when i rebooted my phone) was create a hard link from public:179_66 to 179:66, which resulted on the error "Invalid Argument" (Sorry if something's written worng, English is not my native language)

So back to the main issue, according to your X-Plore results, your system folder is only taking up 876mb. I would download a root file explorer such as Root Explorer and explore the various folders such as Data (2.99gb) and MNT (1.34gb) and see if you have some temp files you can get rid of. There are also apps such as CCleaner that will scan your device for temp/cache files you can safely remove to make more room.
Hi guys, I unlocked the bootloader in my HTC ONE A9 and I installed the TWRP recovery it asks me how to screen whether to keep the read-only and therefore without modifying the partition system or allowing the changes ... I have the official rom and honestly not I currently intend to change rom..I haven't received + OTA updates for several years now ... I don't know what to choose in this screen because as I should put Magisk and how do you know the "safetyNet" check if it finds the modified system folder pass the control ... now you who are + experts than me I ask you the courtesy to clarify this doubt ... there is a fact that even a zip could modify the system folder ... so if I choose allow changes and install the Magisk zip automatically makes changes to the system folder and then the SafetyNet does not pass?

I ask for your help please, because only you can help me in this problem ... I just don't know how to solve. I am desperate
Practically I put the TWRP latest version 3.4 from this link h**ps://dl.twrp.me/hiae/ (I can't put the full link because I don't have 10 posts yet, it seemed right to write it to make you understand where I downloaded them from) , I load it via the windows cmd command and until I access recovery everything is working, as soon as I enter recovery the first time TWRP asks me as per the screen in the first post whether to keep the read only or allow the changes and I choose "allow changes by swiping down" ... then I restart and from that moment the phone restarts continuously in loop ... I then reflected the original rom (even before I had the original rom) , I change version this time and put the twrp 3.2.1.0 as usual, everything works before accessing recovery, as soon as I access recovery, a problem appears in the decryption and then manages to start the twrp menu I always put allow changes to the file system, I go out and loop again, restarting continuously ... now I am thinking possible that the problem is that I have to select keep read only? otherwise I can't explain why everything works and as soon as I enter recovery for the first time and I swipe on allow the changes then restart the phone in loop ... When it goes in loop I can access recovery and the strange thing is that the language is always in English although I select the Italian language, it is also strange that the setting is not saved ....
android version is 7.0 (software 2.17.401.2)
so now I'm reflecting the original rom a second time without putting any twrp waiting for your answer in understanding where the problem lies .. I hope you can help me .. thank you very much in advance. @Captain_Throwback

@Captain_Throwback
you are right, but since everywhere it says that you have to allow the changes it seemed very strange that if I allowed the changes it would go in a loop ... I reflected the rom again, put the Twrp 3.4 back and this time I gave "keep read only "and the problem did not arise ... but there are still a series of problems in TWRP, at the beginning when I start TWRP immediately after entering the encryption sequence, the screen appears where it says:" unable to mont storage "in red and then successfully decrypted and immediately the TWRP menu appears ..... I tried to make a backup but there are a series of errors as you can see from the screen below ... I also flashed magisk v21 from twrp and here too it gave me errors at the beginning similar to the ones it gave me for backup, although in this case it told me successfully installed at the end. After I did a check with a root checker and it tells me that the root was not done, also with magisk manager I did a SafetyNet check and it gives me both false, both CTS certified and base intefrity ... so there is something that it's not working properly ....
Before loading Magisk from recovery I had checked the SafetyNet with an app and it gave me CTS false and basic integrity true, then after loading Magisk both false ...
Then each time I select the Italian language in Twrp and the next time it always starts in English ... I don't understand why it didn't save the setting.
is there any particular version compatible with HTC One A9 of TWRP? I downloaded the hiae version from the link posted in the previous post ... I honestly don't know how to fix ..
Can you help me please to solve? thank you

If you're having issues with TWRP, please post them in the TWRP thread, and follow the instructions in that thread's OP for posting a log. I can then review the log and reply there.
P.S. And while you're at it, you should read the FAQ in the TWRP thread to get some better understanding of why that read-only page is there.
P.P.S. Ugh, I forgot my TWRP thread got lost when they flattened the forum. Well, recovery.log is in /tmp, so you can use adb pull to retrieve it, or if you have an SD card in the device, you can switch to it as your default storage in the Mount page and then use Advanced -> Copy Log.
P.P.P.S. I'm using TWRP and Magisk 21 without any issue on my device, but if you're on old firmware, then that could be why it's not working for you. Let me upload a debug TWRP version and we can see exactly where things are going wrong. Give me an hour or so to build it.

the firmware version is not old, it is android version is 7.0 (software 2.17.401.2) taken here on xda and it is the same version I had received via OTA.
Since the root with Magisk was not successful and, moreover, the safetyNET gave me both CTS and false basic integrity I reflected the rom again now so that we have a clean phone .. first we solve the problems with TWRP and then after I see to put Magisk ... now so I reflashed the rom and checking the Safetynet without having put the Twrp yet it gives me false CTS and basic integrity true, I then put the twrp 3.4 and the Safetynet remained the same ... my fear is that when I put Magisk back even the base integrity becomes false as before ... but for the moment I don't put Magisk ...
I did the backup again with the twrp to see if anything had changed but nothing, same errors ...
I am very willing to do what you ask me, the problem is that I am not an expert, so I can only do it if you tell me step by step what to do ...
You asked me for the recovery.log but I didn't understand how to recover it, could you explain me step by step in detail? you told me that you were preparing the debug that then I should load I don't know if this is enough or you always need the recovery.log ... anyway yes i have an sd card in the phone ...
As for writing in the TWRP room, I initially searched for it but couldn't find it and so I wrote in my phone section.
thank you very much for your willingness to help me

Ok perfect .. very kind. Thanks.
Before unlocking the bootloader and then doing the root I had a space problem as the internal memory is only 16gb ... now since the phone is still fine I wanted to find a solution.
And I saw that through the Link2SD app I can move some apps to the microsd (maybe the apps I use less), to do this I read that you have to make a partition in the microsd so that you can move the apps and that it is seen as "an extension of the internal memory" ... so I should connect the microsd to the pc to create the partition ... then there is another way which is to format the microsd as internal memory but this is not recommended ... while instead do as I wrote before a partition in the microsd and use it as an "extension of the internal memory" do you think it is a good solution to solve the app space problem? because I only have the apps in the internal memory ... the media are automatically saved on microsd ... so in theory by making a partition in the microsd the partition is an extension of the internal memory and the non-partitioned part should be used by the camera to save photos and videos .. do you think it's feasible?
One last thing as an app to remove the various system apps that I don't use like some Google apps, now that I have root I can do it ... which app do you recommend to do this?

Replying here as this conversation is no longer related to TWRP.
I'd actually recommend partially formatting the SD card as internal memory (depending on the size and speed of your SD card). If you have a large capacity UHS-3 card, you can set it up in Android with mixed adoptable storage, so that part of the SD card gets allocated as additional Phone Storage, and the rest can still be used as a standard SD card. That's how I have the card in my A9 set up because of the memory issues you mentioned.
The thread I used to convert mine is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/general/make-sd-card-semi-adopted-t3399510
An alternative link is here: https://android.stackexchange.com/q...into-two-parts-part-adoptable-storage-and-par
(both describe the same process)
Once that's done, you'll have an option to move data for each supported app to the SD card, or you can migrate all of your data to the new partition.
I don't recommend removing any system apps - rather I would just disable apps that you don't need in Settings. You can't really reclaim the space and do anything with it, since system is read-only. There are also ways to "remove" the apps systemlessly using Magisk, but you'll have to research that on your own if you choose to go that route.
EDIT: I have a 128GB card which I split into two 64GB partitions to give me more internal space, while retaining portable storage. This is what that looks like in Android.
EDIT 2: FYI - The TWRP you're currently using fully supports identifying and mounting mixed Adoptable storage, while the official TWRP doesn't. So you'll want to make sure you stay on that one if you decide to go that route.

so if I understand correctly you did exactly what I would like to do and that is a partition in the microsd to be used as an extension of the internal memory and the rest to be used as an external memory .... in any case you are confirming that it is not convenient to format the microsd as internal memory but only make a partition .. you have 32gb of internal memory I think with only 16gb it is really insufficient memory.
I have a 64gb Lexar class 10 microsd (633x microSDXC UHS I class 10) it's not slow but not even super fast ... do you think it's good for performance or will I have to buy another one?
Now I take a look at the 2 links you gave me ..
As for the system apps that I would like to uninstall they are the various apps like:
Chrome (I use another browser)
documents
Drive
Sheets
Photo
Google Play Movies
Google Play Music
Presentations
and some others
You told me that I can not do it because I have the system in read only, but it would be that famous TWRP screen where I put "keep read only" or would it be something else?
I sincerely would like to uninstall them, they just take up space and put them in my apps just to mess with them so I'd rather delete them ..

Deleting them saves you no space. They are on the system partition, and you can't put anything else there anyway. Disabling them is the best way to go, and like I said before, because system is read-only, you can't really delete them anyway (I'm sure you recall what happened when you allowed modifications before in TWRP). But you'll have to deal with that yourself.
I'd recommend a UHS-3 card like I said before, but you can try it with the one you have and see how it performs, just to make sure you understand the process.

Ok then I turn them off as you said ..
The fact of having put "keep read only", in the future this thing can create problems for me? you wrote about "But you'll have to deal with that yourself." this sentence worries me because it makes me think that maybe that choice can create problems for me in the future ...
Thinking about it, about the fact that I had that loop problem when I put "allow changes", it could not be that the reason was because the memory was compromised given the various errors it gave me and having made the "format data" that I did it fix the errors I could also do "allow changes" without anything happening?

I've guided you as much as I can - at this point you should research and figure out where to go from here. Or you can try allowing modifications and see what happens. If it works, great. If not, well then you know what you have to do. You should be able to recover from any situation at this point. If you run into issues with TWRP, you know where the thread is .

if you tell me that being read only will not give me problems in the future I keep it like this ... I certainly know what to do by now as you say ... only if you tell me that being read only it will give problems and it will be a strong limitation then I try to make the last effort and try again ... if instead you tell me that I could leave it even so that it will not be a problem then I leave it like this ... now in TWRP this screen does not appear + which allows me the choice although I have always chosen "keep read only" but I never checked the box "do not ask me again" .... the possibility to write to the file system is only from TWRP or could I get it in another way?
@Captain_Throwback
I mention you because it may be that you have already read my post and therefore you would not have seen this addition.
I managed to successfully uninstall some apps like play music and play movies via adb with commands given via cmd..it worked perfectly.
practically just enter on
adb shell
and then through this command:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.videos (just enter the package name)
obviously you will know these things for sure it was just to tell you how I did it.
as for what I had written before .. if in the future I need to write on the system I have the possibility to modify this in some way since the choice screen on TWRP does not appear +?
As for the partition of the Microsd I gave a reading and I saw that it is done via adb so if I understand correctly always where I deleted those apps from the system ...
In the meantime I would try with the microsd that I already have is 64gb .. I would put 32gb the internal partition and the rest external ...
In this case I insert the microsd in the pc and open adb and give these commands
adb shell sm list-disks adoptable
The name of my microsde will appear then in case it is disk: 179,128 I give this other command:
adb shell sm partition disk: 179,128 mixed 50
so to do 50% internal and 50% external ... only these 2 commands I have to do and stop? Thanks
@Captain_Throwback
I made the partition to the microsd, I take the liberty of writing to you just because you recommended this method ... if you prefer I ask in the thread you indicated ..
Basically the result is that I see the partition correctly while the remaining external memory tells me that it is damaged if I click on it it tells me "configure" and makes me format the microsd, doing this obviously also removes the partition ...
I tell you exactly the steps I took ..
I ejected the microsd from Settings / Storage after which I gave these commands:
adb shell sm list-disks adoptable
adb shell sm partition disk: 179.32 mixed 65
I didn't do anything else ... the result is what I wrote you before. I am attaching a photo so you can see it. I recognize that you have already helped me enough and thank you very much ... let me know .. Thanks.

I went to re-read both the link as per your indication and perhaps I found the solution in the second link (located at the bottom of the page) I will report here what is written for convenience.
____________________________
In addition though, you might get the error that your SD card on your device storage is corrupted. If so follow these steps.
After you have partitioned the disk and while your SD card is corruped enter In the terminal the following:
$> adb shell sm list-volumes all
Which will list your volumes, for example:
private mounted null
public:179,1 mounted B5B1-140C
private:179,3 unmountable null
emulated mounted null
Then enter the following replacing 179,3 with whichever disk numbers you are given:
$> adb shell sm format private:179,3
$> adb shell sm mount private:179,3
Now your SD card in device storage should be properly mounted and your portable storage will still be there.

Attached I have put what I see in adb with the command
adb shell sm list-volumes all
In my case as you can see it is a little different there are some voices in + and also a little different ... for example there are 2 voices one "unmonted" and one "unmountable" according to the explanation it should be the unmountable one but it is " public "and not" private "as in the example.
So in my specific case I also have to change the command to be given after and write "public" instead of "private" like this?
adb shell sm format public: 179.33
adb shell sm mount public: 179.33
As for the formatting you told me in TWRP you had to do it now with the partition already done I guess, but doing it from TWRP does not format the entire microsd by canceling the partition (as happens if you format it from the phone menu) but only formats the external partition?
Can you tell me the exact procedure to do from TWRP because I tried but can't find how to format it ...
I tried to go to Advanced-partition SD, here it makes me select only Sd card lexar 21017Mb (which would be the internal partition), then there is Microsd card (0MB) which is not selectable because it is the one that says damaged ... not i know if this is the correct path..can you let me know please? Thanks always

I went to re-read both the link as per your indication and perhaps I found the solution in the second link (located at the bottom of the page) I will report here what is written for convenience.

In addition though, you might get the error that your SD card on your device storage is corrupted. If so follow these steps.
After you have partitioned the disk and while your SD card is corruped enter In the terminal the following:
$> adb shell sm list-volumes all
Which will list your volumes, for example:
private mounted null
public:179,1 mounted B5B1-140C
private:179,3 unmountable null
emulated mounted null
Then enter the following replacing 179,3 with whichever disk numbers you are given:
$> adb shell sm format private:179,3
$> adb shell sm mount private:179,3
Now your SD card in device storage should be properly mounted and your portable storage will still be there.

You seem to have figured out the command so you should just try it. You seem to want confirmation before you do any steps, and I'm not really here to hand-hold - you're going to have to just try these things and see what happens. I've found that's the best way to learn.
In TWRP, to format the portable partition on the SD card just Wipe -> check "Micro SD card" -> swipe to complete action.
Hopefully one of those methods will resolve your corrupted issue and you can use the card. I don't plan on replying here any further so please don't ask me anymore questions or mention me. Thanks.
