PRS-T1 How do I resize the system partition?

[m3l7d0wN]

the part of the wiki for link2sd seems clear to me. Can you explain where the method fails for you?

Note: With link2sd I wasn't able to move currently installed application to the sd,: link2sd freezes with "moving app to sd". Instead, I could install new app to the sd

You have to use "Link to SD"... not "Move to SD"...

Another thing... with Link2SD you can get some free space in "data"... never in "system"...

I was able to install Link2SD 1.9.9. But after restarting T1, Link2sd did not work. The link2sd button was not clickable.

[m3l7d0wN]

strange, link2sd is installed after reboot? (check in application manager)

[vietchovui]

No, I installed link2sd first, and then restarted the T1 to make link2sd works as instructed in the wiki:

Install "Link2SD v1.9.9" from:
Android Market
nemo3146 dropbox (original supplier)
j0534ng31 multiupload (mirror - permanent location needed)
Ensure that "USB debug mode" option is enabled in "Settings" -> "Applications" -> "Development" (I'm not sure this is actually necessary. I disabled USB debug mode and it seems everything is working fine)
Power off the device (press and hold the power button until it is off) and then turn it on

When I filtered movable apps on link2sd and chose Create link (after long tap on the app - short tap bring up the screen where Create link button is not clickable), this message appeared:

Second partition not found
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2: device not found
Make sure you have two partitions on your SD card and both are primary.

So the error occurred just because I didn't have 2 primary partitions on my SD? So how to create another primary partition on linux? (sorry for the idiot question, I don't know anything about linux!)

[m3l7d0wN]

yes, you need 2 primary partition on the eternal sd.
In linux, start cfdisk /dev/sd* (i.e. /dev/sda, /dev/sdb...) under root (sudo su or su)
Make sure you're modifying your sd and not your hard drive.
delete all partitions and make 2 partitions as eplained in the wiki.
Change the type to modify to linux and w95 fat32.
write to disk and exit. Format your partition with mkfs.vfat and mkfs.ext3
WARNING: using cfdisk the wrong way, you can destroy you hard drive.. you're warned

The wiki updated
But now there is no /tmp directory !
I have 1.0.4 firmware

what exactly are you trying to achieve? make link2sd working? resize system partition? repartition whole internal memory?

I don't know witch way is better !
This is what I'm trying to do :

[uboot]

But this inode thingy has nothing to do with free space for installed apps!

Thanks
I don't know what inod is ! But this is a solution for "No space left on system partition" error !
What should I do to install more apps to my T1 ?
