How to increase internal space on android

[Justinkeyback]

Insert a big sd-card in the slot? It’s what I have done.

You can modify the partition table file (gpt.bin) and then reflash android with Intel Flash Tool.

 

You can set android_data partition to anything up to 55GB (maximum). By default it’s set to 10GB.

 

I could modify that file for you if you don’t know how.

Hi. That actually sounds incredible. I’m rooted, but I would like to increase my android partition a bit. Can you help? I do have a LOT of programs installed and don’t want to lose root.

If you use modified gpt.bin and flash android again you would loose root and everything else including Windows as you would be taking over space used by Windows. I think only Carlos knows how to modify that file so you would have to ask him.

@Carlos

I would like to make my Hi12 Android only. Please post your modified gpt.bin file for maximum size data partition.

I managed to get my Hi12 re-partitioned for full Android using a gpt.bin somebody made for a similar device from here:
filesystem:https://mega.nz/persistent/mega/bFYiDTja

I reflashed the custom remix folder that Carlos uploaded here:
https://mega.nz/#!RUJznLxC!rl623H5slopBW8XOye9U789lGlqBtYYD98gUpaalzu0
it has twrp and unlocked boot.img and I replaced the gpt.bin with the new one and flashed in phonefashtool using Chuwi original flash.json to erase all.

Afterwards I have re-installed CM12.1 from here:

I tried to download the gpt.bin file using the link above but it appears to not be hosted there anymore. Can you help? Do you have a step-by-step you followed to do this?

Yeah anybody can PLEASE reupload? 🙂

Works so awesome with Cyanogenmod 12.1 but don’t need windows so i want to allocate all space to CM 🙂

[Bill Christiansen]

The gpt.bin that I used was repacked by spzjulien for Teclast X98 and originally from Chinese Teclast bbs. I used gpt_53g.bin (renamed to gpt.bin) which give total space for Android and none for Windows. It worked for me but use at own risk.

Thank you very much, can you make tutorial for beginner… how I can flash this Partition File 🙂 Thanks 🙂

[Bill Christiansen]

First get familiar with using the Intel PhoneFlashTool and flashing stock android or remix:

To repartition you use the same tool but replace the gpt.bin file in the rom folder with the modified one. I would also use the unlocked boot.img uploaded by Carlos that I linked to in my earlier post in this thread.

Thank you very much! Will try, still hope we can get Android 7.x for hi 12 :), Guys must spam Chuwi to release Kernel sources, only Cyanogenmod 12.1 works good.

Worked nice! Now 50+ Gigabyte for Android! Awesome! Thanks!

[Rick Starsick]

So – to increase the space in Android – I just need to run the Intel Phone Flashing Tool, that erases Windows and allocates the space to Android? If not – what other file do I need to use?
