[Q] Memory: how change partitions? topic

Hi all,

I wanted to ask if it was possible to change the memory partition (I'm using CM11 if it's important).

My idea:

• Primary partition for system, apps and data --> 20GB


• Emergency partion for .zip to flash or backup --> 2gb

Is it possible?
How can I do?



Thanks for your time :)

partitions on xt1032 topic

I have a question. What should the moto g (none gpe) partition format be ?

I know data should be f2fs, but what about system ? My system was set to ext4 as was my cache partition. I heard f2fs is faster than ext4 so changed my system to f2fs.

[Q] Boot and aboot partitions... topic

Hi there and Merry Christmas.

I recently acquired a OnePlus One and I'm trying to understand it's boot process (every detail!).
There are 2 partitions, the boot and aboot. I copied them both to my computer.
I extracted the zImage and the Ramdisk from the boot partition.

Now what I don't understand is:

Is every boot partition having the same layout (Like ANDROID! header and such, or is that only the Little Kernel?)
When the phone is booting, what happens? What instructions does the processor run first? And how does it know?
How does it know how to extract the zImage, what is that zImage actually? Is it the same as the system kernel? Or is it a temp. kernel? Or is it only little kernel?...
Ramdisk is just a bunch of init scripts and init images and stuff, I suppose the processor loads the kernel which on turn activates the scripts?
But how? :)

And where does the aboot partition come into place?
There are no relations between boot and aboot as far as I can see?

There is also a init ELF executable in the Ramdisk, where can I find the source? Is it part of Little Kernel, or does the ramdisk
has nothing to do with it?

I know this thread is chaotic and excuse me for that :).

But my head is going to explode!

[Q] Only PhilZ recovery can access partitions topic

I upgraded from SynergyROM r484 (4.1.2) to LiquidSmooth 3.0 (5.0) and really love the responsiveness of this ROM, but the camera bug is a deal breaker for me. I tried to go back to SynergyROM, but now I can't seem to access any partitions with any recovery except PhilZ, and Aroma can't access anything either. For example, first 2 errors using TWRP 2.8.1.0 are

Code:

---

Unable to find partition size for '/boot'
Primary block device '/dev/block/mmcblk0p15' for mount point '/data' is not present!'

---

followed by a slew of other errors. I can Odin back to stock no problem, but I really want to install SynergyROM which uses Aroma. I've tried flashing all kinds of firmwares, bootloaders, modems, recoveries, and ROMs to no avail. Any help? I'll be happy to provide more details upon request.
