2016-07-08 23:15:47 UTC  

I want to increase

2016-07-08 23:15:55 UTC  

android data partition

2016-07-08 23:16:02 UTC  

but how do I do it?!?!

2016-07-08 23:16:16 UTC  

< absolutely hate everything about partitions here

2016-07-08 23:17:35 UTC  

what a mess of a partition table

2016-07-08 23:17:37 UTC  

it's been a while since i've done something like this, but i think the data partition has to be moved to the butt end of the partitions so that it can absorb the unallocated stuff

2016-07-08 23:17:52 UTC  

it might get frustrating because your `android_data` partition is in the middle of the table

2016-07-08 23:18:02 UTC  

does android support/respect LVM?

2016-07-08 23:18:18 UTC  

how can I move the partitions?

2016-07-08 23:18:24 UTC  

if anyone knoes

2016-07-08 23:18:54 UTC  

!play working class paradox

2016-07-08 23:19:16 UTC

2016-07-08 23:19:21 UTC

2016-07-08 23:19:32 UTC  

between android_data and the ntfs ones

2016-07-08 23:19:33 UTC  

i wouldn't delete all the partitions, there's important stuff there like the efi boot stuff

2016-07-08 23:19:40 UTC  

unallocated*

2016-07-08 23:20:00 UTC  

idk they seem kind of important

2016-07-08 23:20:05 UTC  

isnt EFI just for windows stuff

2016-07-08 23:20:09 UTC  

or is it bios?

2016-07-08 23:20:15 UTC  

yeah, i see ntfs-based ones in there, so this is a windows/android dual-boot device? weird

2016-07-08 23:20:26 UTC  

afaik it's the new kind of bios

2016-07-08 23:20:33 UTC  

i'm not sure if windows would like you messing with the partition table outside it's walled garden, either

2016-07-08 23:20:44 UTC  

don't quote me on this but i think deleting the efi will brick the device

2016-07-08 23:20:51 UTC  

k

2016-07-08 23:21:02 UTC  

I can show how it looked before

2016-07-08 23:21:03 UTC  

deleting EFI partition would likely (not 100%, depends on device design) soft brick the device, i am assuming you are mounting the storage offline?

2016-07-08 23:21:59 UTC  

this is how it was

2016-07-08 23:22:06 UTC  

well I reversed it now

2016-07-08 23:22:10 UTC  

I just want to delete windows

2016-07-08 23:22:14 UTC  

and make android_data bigger

2016-07-08 23:23:01 UTC  

i think what you can do is resize the partitions like an inchworm until you get to android_data

2016-07-08 23:23:38 UTC  

k my mouse is connected to my tablet

2016-07-08 23:23:41 UTC  

so I cant press 😄

2016-07-08 23:24:18 UTC  

so what I do is

2016-07-08 23:24:23 UTC  

make the ntfs unallocated

2016-07-08 23:24:40 UTC  

when make the one over unallocated
