So, that was the Poke3. The Poke3 did not have a super partition. Things are different now on the Poke5 (and similar generation).

Since super is early mount the fstab for it is not the one that you see in /system/vendor/etc/fstab.emmc but the one in the ramdisk for the boot image, /fstab.emmc. Basically you text edit it to get rid of things that say "avb". Now you don't have to worry that you are modifying system.

You can get your super partition with EDL. You can extract the system logical partition from that with lputil.exe (not quite released yet). By putting the system image on a Linux or Android system you can 1) resize it to 50% bigger or so, 2) revert the "shared blocks" to unshared blocks, 3) delete something big and stupid that you don't use (maybe kreader?), 4) add things useful to you, 5) resize the partition to the same size it was before. Now replace the logical partition in the super partition. It will fit exactly. Then flash super.
