How do I resize system partition from 1gb to 2gb on my 32gb nexus 5 with the help of twrp recovery ?
Related
Before I begin, I did search the forums and could not find exactly what I'm going to ask.
I partitioned 256MB of my 4GB SD card to ext4 for Apps2SD (t-Mobile MyTouch 3G running latest Cyanogen and Amon Ra's recovery image 1.6.2). I'm currently running out of space when trying to install new apps and want to resize the partition to 512 or more.
If I go to 'Partition sdcard' from the recovery menu, will it simply resize my partitions and leave the data, or will my data be gone? Alternatively, if I do a backup with BART, change partition sizes, then recover the BART image, will it revert to my previous partition sizes?
Thanks in advance
Hello,everyone.These days I'm trying to port twrp recovery to my device,but it occured that this recovery need at least about 16 MB free space in the recovery parition which my vender left me only 6 MB space.(눈_눈)
I tried to use the fdisk comand in terminal emulator,to edit the android-scatter.txt in the usb flash package,or to edit the mbr and ebr file,but all these did nothing but turned my device into a brick.
Is there any solutions?Is it possible to put the recovery in data parition and lauch it?
Thanks for help.
there are some specs:
Phone model:TCL Y910(also called Alcatel Onetouch Hero)
ROM:16GB
CPU:MTK MT6589T
you have to delete system apps to increase system partition size...

Thanks all the same,but it's a problem of recovery partition rather than system partition.ヾ(＾。^*)
If I wipe system by Twrp then will my internal memory will be formatted or not??All my custom ROM r in my internal memory.
If you wipe the system partition, the internal partition will remain the same as it is on a seperate partition.
I was trying to backup of stock ROM through twrp backup without installing by loading fastboot boot twrp.img and take backup of stock rom system.img userdata.img through twrp recovery...
it loaded successfully but while taking backup its not able to take backup its giving error that it "cant mount storage" its not able to select sdcard microsdcard and internal memory to showing 0 free space
I Google and founded solution for same problems 1st solution was to give screen lock pin and password and use the same password to decrypt I tried but it's showing wrong password.
Second solution was to use wipe data in two recovery menu and go to advance option and select repair and covert ext2 filesystem but all I selected it's unable to mount internal memory also
Thirdly I tried twrp 5.4 mage but same problem exista
is there any way to mount and show the internal memory or external sd card in twrp recovery image any suggestions help please
Another question is it possible to incorporate infuse busy box super user am pm commands in twrp bootloader image so that we can use rooting functions from bootloader image.

thank for your suggestion time and advice
I have 16GB phone and wanted to do a full backup but it's size is 11768MB which I think should be more, look at the calculation:
it's 16GB phone (in decimal) which in binary is 14.9GB. (16000/1074) so main internal storage in digital computation is 14.9GB.
my system partition+data partition (shown in TWRP backup) are 11768MB. (9500 /data and rest is /system)
my internal storage: 868MB free + 1.36GB used (=2228MB)
all other partitions are 167MB (excluding data and system and sdcard)
so far it's 11768+2228+167=14,163MB
but my whole internal storage is 14,900MB and now whole things on my phone is 14,163MB, so where is that 737MB?
also apps cache and system cache are almost nothing and dalvik cache is 629MB (which I think is included in TWRP's /data calculation)
do you have any idea of missing 737MB? does TWRP exclude anything or am I wrong?
TWRP saves only those partitions that may change due to flashing custom ROM.
An example is the vendor partition.

yes I know and I calculated whole partitions and SDCARD and TWRP system and data and free storage and everything but the size isn't same as device internal storage space (you can look at my calculation above)
If you want you can always save a disk and not the partitions.
You won't be able to flash it with fastboot (I don't think), but if you have EDL or its equivalent you can.

it's not about backing up, it's mostly because of my curiosity that why when I have root and calculated whole stuff (partitions) plus cache plus free space, altogether they don't fit my internal disk space (14.9GB) and are 737MB less!!! can you test it on your phone and see what will be the result.
I really have no idea what we are discussing.
Code:
Poke3:/ # dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/dev/null

I don't use TWRP.
