*New Member* MID8042 Internal Memory

[tanderson291]

Hello, I am a new member of the forum! First of all I would like to thank all of you senior members for making it so simple and straightforward to root and install google play. I especially thank Traveller1701 and vampirefo for all of the work you have done for the 3rd Generation Coby devices.

I followed the directions in the development index and I am very happy with the results. I have also switched the mount points to allow for more apps on the external sd card. I am now curious about expanding my /system and /data partitions in the internal memory however I am hesitant to use livesuit after all of the horror stories I have seen.

My question is... Is there a possible way to increase the sizes of /system and /data partitions without using livesuit or using the external sd to run /system (cm10)? For instance... Is it possible to modify a nandroid backup to partition the internal memory in a customized manner? I would like to almost eliminate the internal "sdcard".

I would like to have:

1 Gb - /system
1 Gb - /data
512 Mb - internal sd

I am very experienced in coding in C++ but the Coby is my first stab at an Android device and I am not too terribly familiar with ADB

Thanks in advance to anyone with an answer

CM10 is ran directly from sdcard, you can't increase internal memory without using livesuite, but you can make your /system and /data any size you want on sdcard. I dual boot cm9 from internal memory with CM10 from sdcard.
