DESCRIPTION


UPDATE 13-Dec-2014:

 

I've added other versions of the patch – to resize the primary partition to 2GB, 3GB, 4GB, 5GB or 6GB respectively. 

 


 

 

 

Patch to increase primary partition. It uses the space of "internal emmc card", which is shrinked to accordingly (there're 6GB of internal memory total, if you decide to increase the primary partition to 4GB, the rest of 2GB is dedicated to "internal emmc card").

 

PREREQUISITIES:

  1. Root
  2. Custom recovery (CWM, TWRP) – the recovery which comes preinstalled on the phone is not capable of flashing ZIPs!

 

HOW TO:

  1. Do a full backup of all your data (in recovery, recommended is also a backup using flashtool like MTKDroidTools)
  2. Copy the selected patch (.ZIP) to your SDCARD
  3. Reboot to recovery
  4. Apply the ZIP
  5. Do factory reset and reboot the recovery (Do not reboot to the system yet)
  6. Restore your backup (Using the recovery)
  7. Reboot the phone

Note: after the first boot the phone will prompt to format the internal memory, proceed with that.

NOTE: If you select to expand the primary partition to 6GB, there will be still below 100 MB dedicated to the so-called internal emmc card. It is unsafe (and untested too) to have the partition completely deleted, so I decided to shrink it to the tiniest safe size.

 

IF YOU FIND THE PATCH HELPFUL, PLEASE DONATE TO SUPPORT MY WORK, EVEN 1 EURO COUNTS.. :)  MANY THANKS!

DISCLAIMER: Use it at your own risk and always do a backup.

    Hello.

    I increased my ram to 2 Gb, reducing the rom do 6Gb. My camera stoped working. Could this be related or is it a coincidence,

     

    Thank you and keep up the good work.

    (I would like to see Ubuntu touch installed on my phone, or at least in some elephone equipments.Is it possible? I believe it will have a market.
