How to Resize Android's Internal Memory (Yes, It IS Possible).
==============================================================

> "That's impossible..."

I'm so sick and tired of reading the same thing over and over
again that I decided to carry on with the Proof of Concept that
is is indeed possible to partition the internal memory of an
Android device. Not the external SD card, people. There are lots
of tutorials all over the place on how to do that.

We are going here for the internal one.

Fair DISCLAIMER: The following procedure, although rather easy,
it is not for the faint-hearted. It may burn your house down,
kill your cat and delete all traces of the mortgage payments that
you have ever made. Do NOT do it if you don't have the slightest
idea on how to get out of it if something goes wrong.

Still here?

Good.

First, some background information.

Android devices actually have a very nifty solid state hard
drive. A very small one, so to speak.

So, what are we going to do?

We are going to modify the parts that make up that hard disk, of
course.

And how are we going to accomplish that?

With an ARM architecture focused program called Parted, although
you may use any PARTition EDitor you want who happens to be
available for ARM architecture. (See what I did here? :P)

We are used to see files saved in one, big partition in our
computers but, in Android, these happen to be in separate
partitions -boxes that happen to be inside the bigger box that is
the hard disk drive.
