Excellent work guys!

I installed cm9 only to test the mod, it works very good.

Thank you very much for your efforts!

Why would anyone use bloated lg stock when we have almost stable cm9:p but leaving that aside if you are in for a challenge then you might have to make changes to vold/initiramfs etc and well crazybyte and gellamar can possibly guide you better in this regard i also suggest you follow their discussions in the q&a thread its really informative if you wish to start from scratch !

Is this for flashing only on my phone? or I have a pc

Flash on latest nightly from cwm. But you'll need a pc with kdz to get back stock mount points afaik

I don't think that this will in anyway affect /sdext i could be wrong,anyway you won't be needing link2sd after the merge !

Hi. Would there be any way to just resize the Partitions?

Like adding 100-300 MB to Data and keep the rest as internal SD?

I feel like it should be possible but don't want to waste time trying or even brick my phone, if you could just tell me about how impossible it is?

After a long series of tests, trials and errors, the SDMergE400 mod is here!

The purpose of SDMergE400 mod is to get more space for user data by means of removing the unnecessary 1GB internal SDCARD. Technicaly it is done in 4 steps:

Step 1 - Update recovery to use custtom one that support expert partitioning

Step 2 - Re-partition the internal storage and create filesystems

Step 3 - Install fresh Cyanogenmod 9 nightly

Step 4 - Install SDMergE400 modifier for CM9 nightly.

Main features:

1. Extended data partition 1.15 GB

2. Battery / power up fix

3. USB Mass Storage fix

4. ICS device encryption fix

5. Ability to set up Suxsem 1GHz / tun / swap kernel after Step4.

How to install (for the first time - no previous SDMergE400 mod installed):

1. Download archive with all parts from http://sendfile.su/787227 and unpack its contents to External SD card. Download the latest CM nightly to your external SD card too. Make sure the phone is fully charged!

2. Ensure you have CWM 5.8.4.5 recovery installed.

3. Plug off the charger and reboot into recovery

4. Apply SDMergE400_Step1.zip from sdcard. The phone will reboot on success prompting you a new recovery.

5. Apply SDMergE400_Step2.zip from sdcard. The phone will reboot on success prompting you an old recovery for step3 and step4 completion.

6. Apply CM9 install and after it completes, apply SDMergE400_Step4.zip from the sdcard.

7. Reboot and cross your fingers - after 2-3 minutes max you will see the SIM card PIN lock screen.

How to apply newer CM nightlies:

1. Copy CM9 nightly to external card

2. Apply from CWM recovery

3. Apply SDMergE400-Step4.zip from external card

4. Reboot normal

All you user data should remain intact.

How to revert the mod:

1. Reflash KDZ to stock 2.3.6 kernel.
