Increasing the /system folder size. Is it possible?

[Guest baranov_dm97]

Hello everyone. I have a Huawei Ascend G300 (U8815). And the /system folder there is 377,96 MB size by default. So here's the question: is it possible to increase thу /system folder's size and how to do it?

I don't know if anybody has done it successfully but these threads might be of interest...

Hmm, looks like nobody have succeeded in repartitioning our device... In one of topics, which dalyer sent, I found a link to some manual, but it's for U8800...

More to the point - why do you want to increase the /system size? Seems pointless according to this:

I just want to try to make a port of Samsung's TouchWiz ROM, but there's no enough space in /system folder for this.

You wan't to port TouchWiz to the G300? WHY?  :P

 

It's way to heavy, we are trying to make ROM's more efficient and this would be the complete opposite. Personally I think it would be a waste of time especially since we already have a TouchWiz ROM:

I know, that TouchWiz is really heavy thing, I just wanted to get the full Samsung's UI.

 

P.S. That ROM is for U8818, my G300 is U8815. I tried to install it, but I wasn't succeeded. I just don't understand what difference between U8818 and U8815. Maybe it's have hardware difference, or something else.

UPD: Found the difference. MSM7627A installed in U8818, while in U8815 is just MSM7227A

You may have to edit something and repackage the zip to get it to install e.g. see here and check out the rest of that thread and maybe others for details:

You need to remove the first few lines in the updater-script of the rom zip, the ones with U8818 in them. Just completely remove the lines and flash again. U8818 ROMs work fine on U8815 and vice versa.

Already flashed that ROM via TWRP (the last time I tried to flash it via CWM), and I was succeded. But it's so slow sometimes.
