[Resolved] How do I resize partitions on MTK device? - General Questions and Answers

Hi, I have a UleFone Note 7 with an MT6580 processor, and 16GB of internal storage.
It originally had Android 8.1 Go installed, which is a lot smaller than LineageOS 17, which I am trying to install.
because of that the system partition is only around 1.4GB and the data partition is around 12GB.
LineageOS installs fine, but then there is only around 100MB free space left in the system partition and trying to install GApps fails.
So my question: [Solved] How can I make the system partition bigger (say 4GB) and the data partition smaller?
I got help on the xda discord server, and managed to do it using adb shell and parted/gdisk

I want to install this rom too.

How did you manage to root your device? I have the same but already tried all the ways and I am not successful, how did you solve it?

Vital Asc tablet storage issue

Hi, I recently received this tablet as a gift from family for my birthday. Well, there is a pretty big issue that really bothers me. Note, I have been modding/rooting for years. Well this tablet has no custom Roms, and it came stock with a weird partition. All apps from the play store get put on a 1 gig partition, which runs out of space quite often. There is a 13 gig partition that is just basic storage. I can transfer some apps to the "SD card" partition, but I am running out of eligible apps that I can transfer. How can I either repartition this or set the auto download to go to the 13 gig partition? I did find a root so apps that require root access do work. Thanks!
P.s. this tablet runs dang slow sometimes.. Any way to OC it or any fixes for that?

SP1: Can I delete all the small recovery partitions?

Hi guys! After I move the recovery partition to an usb flash drive using the windows procedure, I can't merge the free space on the ssd because of some small partition on the drive. It is the partition number 5 in the image below.

}
My question is: if I delete the partition 5, will I be able to reset my surface using the usb drive I have created before, or not? Why does this partition exists? Why it should be there just in order to prevent the partitions to be merged?
Thanks
Please help me! I can't find any comment con web
No, you can't. If you want to recover the recovery space and merge with you main partition you need to reinstall windows. You can download from Microsoft the latest windows x64 pro update 1 iso and reinstall every application. Of course you need to backup all your data before.

Is this Normal ?
My Nexus 9 has 800MB free(Phone Storage)....
I did something wrong or this is normal ?
Thank you
you have 7.3 GB free in phone internal storage and 11.36 MB free in "system" partition - that's normal in lollipop on N5.
Ok , Thanks for your answer. So this is Normal.
Yes the phone contains parititions (i.e. separate preallocated portions of storage) in various sizes. You system partition (phone) should not require a lot of free space to run correctly.

Try rebooting back into recovery then install the gapps
This happen to me too. With lineage16 I had to install nanogapps.. but unfortunately with the new lineage17 also pico gapps refuse to install due to insufficient system partition space.
I want to resize the system partition, but I don't know if it's possible on the opo..
In the following Italian opo forum there's a description on how to do it, but I don't know if it's the correct way to do it or if there's a better way (in that way there's a waste of 1,3gb)

Data recovering apps (with root) can't find internal memory for recovering data

Hi, i have Mi 9T with lineageOS 17.1, that i deleted accidentally a folder with pictures, but as precaution, i have a few data recovering apps that use root and can do a proper "full" scan for recovery, instead of just "deleted" recovery.
they use root, but they don't see the partition where the user data is, and find nothing after scan. tried 3 apps that use root for a proper recovery, all result the same. nothing is found to recover. some don't let select where to scan, but the ones that have this option, only show this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Don't know if is a magisk problem, or if the "list" of partitions that is show to an root app is configurable, or i need to mount something to make it able to see the user data (i think /storage)
any help appreciated
